ANSWER

No capital loss can only be used to reduce any capital gain, and even in then there are rules. You can not use capital gain to offset against ordinary income.

NB: Personal use capital loss can not be offset against any capital gain, losses on collectibles can only be offset against other collectibles capital gain and all "other" capital loss e.g. dividends, shares, real estate can be offset against "other" capital gain.
