βIf weβre concerned about democracy, about our sovereignty, we canβt just be worried about foreign threats β we also need to think about the concentration of wealth and power at home.β
Moreover, wealth and political power are closely connected. If we want to strengthen our sovereignty and democracy, we cannot allow wealth and power to become more and more concentrated in the hands of the few. We are witnessing the consequences of extreme inequality south of the border right nowβ¦
Higher gas prices are going somewhere: into the pockets of the owners of the oil and gas industry. An excess profits tax could redistribute those funds back to us. For more information on what that could look like: www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...
hey has anyone checked on the economy lately? Is it doing stuff?
A new report finds wealth inequality in Canada is reaching new heights, with a tiny elite enjoying lavish lifestyles while the many are left in the cold.
The problem is not just moral obscenity but that democracy is perverted by vast wealth concentration.
Okay, now let's look at wealth concentration in Canada over the past quarter century.
It's not a matter of if the wealth divide will grow again, but when.
Canada's wealth inequality is a policy choice. What we need now is fair taxation. #taxtherich

This is interview is really blowing up across multiple platforms. Which means Canadians care deeply about tackling inequality!
Great to see quality research getting the attention it deserves.

A new βside-by-sideβ deal could let US multinationals avoid parts of the global minimum tax & keep shifting profits out of Europe. Ahead of the EU Tax Symposium, Alison Schultz asks MEP Pasquale Tridico about transparency, tax sovereignty & who shapes global tax rules. youtu.be/up64DeMlOkQ
βThe Canadian Shield Institute, an economic think tank, recommended a stricter definition of a Canadian company based on where it is governed and controlled, rather than simply where it has offices or employees.β Yes, we need a more logical definition of a domestic firm.
American billionaires will profit from Canadaβs investment in LNG.
Thereβs a Canadian on this list. Weβre not a poor country. Billionaires are just hogging the wealth.
This post wasnβt co-created with AI, but with my girlfriend and friend Paul.
While Canadians fight an imaginary war against the United States, Canadaβs government has aligned itself and its economy to service Trumpβs real wars.

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made βlethalityβ a top priority.

The US-Israeli war on Iran is a regional and global disaster. It represents the exportation of the murderous Gaza playbook to a nation of more than 90 million people. In response, Canada has surrendered principle to imperial loyalty, writes Owen Schalk.
The U.S. war against Iran is now the biggest oil supply disruption in history, and it's disrupting twice as much of the global supply as the second most disruptive event ever.
Western countries backing what the US and Israel are doing in Iran arenβt just going to lose legitimacy in the eyes of their domestic publics, but are shredding any notion a new alliance of middle powers or whatever can defend any semblance of an international order.
