Recently our senior economist Alex Hemingway with @c4tf.bsky.social Silas Xuereb authored the report The New Robber Barons: A Quarter Century of Wealth Concentration in Canada. Read an interview with Silas in Jacobin

We wrote about our report on wealth concentration with @bcpolicy.bsky.social in @thetyee.ca. If we don’t create better economic equality in Canada, we’re on a fast track to oligarchy…

NEW: Canada’s richest 1 per cent have nearly as much wealth as its poorest 80 per cent combined. www.readthemaple.com/canadas-rich...

Canada’s biggest corporations made a record $677B in profits last year. Yet the share they pay in taxes has never been lower, and investment is lagging. Jared Walker and @silasxuereb.bsky.social of @c4tf.bsky.social ask: If tax cuts worked, wouldn’t we have seen the results by now?

Canadian oil profits for the Big 4 are set to soar as the US/Israel strikes on Iran rattle global markets. 📈 While prices spike, Cdn producers could reap a "risk premium." We should tax these windfall profits to invest in future-proof, climate-resilient energy. We need a windfall tax on O&G now.

As you fill up with gas that's now up 20c/litre in a week, remember who profits. Cdn oil companies made $150b after-tax profit after the last oil spike (2022). An excess profit tax redistributed to consumers would ease the pain. My take in @thestar.com: www.thestar.com/business/opi...

On a new 👁️‍🗨️ @redeyeradio.bsky.social 👁️‍🗨️ BC Policy Solutions Senior Economist and Public Finance Policy Analyst @alexhemingway.bsky.social joins the show to explain how a new report from @c4tf.bsky.social debunks the BC NDP's 2026 Budget's push for austerity. www.listennotes.com/podcasts/red...

Our intrepid executive director, Jared A. Walker, will be moderating this talk about municipal change making at @broadbent.bsky.social’s upcoming Progress summit. Check it out and then come talk about how we can #TaxTheRich at the C4TF booth! 💫

Important work on #GenderJustice + #TaxJustice from our international partners, @globaltaxjustice.org ✊✊✊

Automatic tax filing is long-overdue. Yet tax filing giants have been investing in major lobbying efforts to block it. It would put billions in unpaid benefits in the hands of low-income Canadians and greatly improve accessibility. We need our government to make this happen, once and for all.

🚨NEW REPORT: Our new report, along with our friends at BC Policy Solutions, estimates wealth concentration in Canada from 1999-2023. We find that the share of wealth owned by the top 1% increased from 19.3% to 22.7% over this period. www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...

The wealthiest 1% of families in Canada owned 22.7% of wealth in 2023, up from 19.3% in 1999, seeing a total increase of $3 trillion over that period. Find our new report modelling of extreme wealth inequality from @c4tf.bsky.social and @bcpolicy.bsky.social: bcpolicy.ca/2026/02/11/tax-the-rich/

Wealth inequality is a growing issue in Canada and our tax system must be overhauled to tax high-end wealth and capital income more effectively in order to benefit the public good, shows a new report by Silas Xuereb & Alex Hemingway

Our friends @c4tf.bsky.social have a new report examining the true levels of wealth inequality in Canada, and it's impact on our democracy. One shocking stat: billionaire wealth grew 37.2% between 2023 and 2025 while total household wealth only grew 9.3%. www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...

Wealth concentration in Canada is problem - @c4tf.bsky.social has a new report out on exactly how much of a problem and what we should do about it: www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...

After 25 years of extreme wealth concentration, the top 1% own 23% of the wealth—up $3 trillion. Our new report w/ @bcpolicy.bsky.social sounds the alarm: to protect our democracy & sovereignty, we need to stop our slide into US-style oligarchy. Read it now: www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...

C4TF’s Jared A. Walker & @silasxuereb.bsky.social in @canadiandimension.bsky.social on why a deficit shouldn’t be shouldered by workers and why the wealthy should foot the bill instead canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

Wow! Someone's cranky! While we appreciate the free press from Terence, let's see if we can improve his mood point by point. financialpost.com/opinion/tere...

Excellent interview! @taxjustice.net @theguardian.com 💥💥

In our latest for The Breach, Jared and I do a deep dive on how continued tax haven abuse is not just despite our government policy - it's because of our government policy.

Our ED, Jared Walker, and researcher, @silasxuereb.bsky.social, on the billions lost to tax havens. Check it out in @breachmedia.ca! 👀

Canada has a tax haven problem — and it's costing all of us. Listen to Jared Walker of @c4tf.bsky.social on the Perspectives Journal podcast: perspectivesjournal.ca/canadas-tax-haven-dilemma/

"The richest, and the top one per cent in particular, have captured a significantly outsized proportion of economic growth,” — @silasxuereb.bsky.social with @c4tf.bsky.social thetyee.ca/News/2025/08... #BCLab #CanEcon

Our policy analyst, @silasxuereb.bsky.social, spoke to @thetyee.ca about the ever-growing income gap in Canada thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...

"The ultrawealthy and large corporations that benefit the most from our economy are able to move their assets to low-tax jurisdictions to avoid paying billions in taxes, while the rest of us are left holding the bag." @c4tf.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Canada should be addressing tax havens - oped from @c4tf.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Our latest report on tax havens exposes how the ultra-rich are hiding hundreds of billions in tax shelters - with help from our government. 🌴💸 Check out our op-ed in today's Globe & Mail! www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com... And send a message to Ottawa to end tax havens here: bit.ly/C4TFhavens 💫

Recovering the $15B/year Canada loses to tax havens—and billions more from other tax loopholes—could save us from 15% or more in cuts to the CBC, VIA Rail, StatsCan, museums, and other public services. It can also help reverse deepening wealth and income inequality. Pass it on 📣 bit.ly/4lJz3OM

📢 Big corporations & the ultra-rich are hiding $682B in tax havens, while everyday Canadians are left holding the bag. That’s a 165% increase since 2014. Tell MPs: shut down tax havens & bring our tax dollars home! 📝 Sign the petition: www.taxfairness.ca/en/act/take-...

The use of tax havens is not just due to a few bad apples. We found that over three quarters of S&P/TSX 60 firms have at least one subsidiary in a tax haven, and the real number is likely even higher. Through differences in foreign tax rates, these firms avoided $7B in taxes in 2024.

After decades of international cooperation and the domestic implementation of a global minimum corporate tax, the use of tax havens must be declining, right? Actually, our new report finds Canadian assets in tax havens hit a record $682B in 2024, up 165% from 2014 www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...

The super rich have tons of tax advantages available to them, and yet... They're still choosing to steal billions every year according to a new report from @c4tf.bsky.social These people aren't patriots. They don't care about our economy, democracy, or country. t.co/pbZad6MSX3

🚨 NEW REPORT: The Rise and Rise of Tax Havens 🌴 Our new report details how use of tax havens by mega-corporations and the ultra-wealthy has exploded by 165% in the last decade, and how it's been enabled through government policy. Read more: www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources... #CDNpoli

Great piece in @macleans.bsky.social from the newest #TaxTheRich kids on the block, @patmillscanada.bsky.social! 💫

Carney may have dropped his elbows but the rest of us need to keep them up. If you want to support fair taxation initiatives, give Canadians for Tax Fairness @c4tf.bsky.social a follow.

Proud to sign on to this important statement with our civil society colleagues in the Toronto Star in support of the DST www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Trump is a bully, with the attention span of a goldfish. Canada can’t cave to the pressure and enable the long-term greed of big tech because he’s throwing a tantrum. Our latest on the DST here: www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...

Our ED, Jared A. Walker, on what Canadian progressives can learn from fair tax champion Mamdani’s historic win:

Huge congrats to fair tax champion Zohran Mamdani! 🌟

The #UNTaxConvention is a crucial component of ensuring tax justice for all nations, including Canada. Important update on its progress from our international partner, @globaltaxjustice.org:

Tax cuts for everyday Canadians provide welcome relief but we must ensure they don’t come at the cost of public services. Let’s tax the rich to pay for them!
