Can I do this on my taxes as a loss?

I brought a lot of shares long ago, now the company has gone private. Can I sell the shares to my kids and take the loss on my income tax? By the way I live in Canada.

Answers:
There are several guides. information circulars, etc. on the CRA website. You cannot apply a capital loss to your regular income. It can only be applied to capital gains. (except in the year of death) Below is the Capital gains Guide.
