ICYMI: not only are some millionaires begging to be taxed more, this one just overpaid $1 million to the CRA 💸💸💸

Ever wonder about the difference in tax bills between an average Canadian and the ultra-wealthy? Us too: bit.ly/C4TFKshaped Spoiler alert: tax time, like the rest of the year, isn’t fair.

Carney’s fuel tax pause rewards polluters. Instead of capturing windfall profits for the public good, Ottawa is bankrolling fossil fuel companies and starving services needed during the #climatecrisis. New from @silasxuereb.bsky.social: ricochet.media/politics/car... #cdnpoli @c4tf.bsky.social

While this will help some households with gas prices, this is not the solution we need - Big Oil is profiting immensely from this crisis, now those profits will come at the expense of our public services as well as workers' paychecks. We should be redistributing those profits not our public services

Our ED, Jared A. Walker, and economist, @silasxuereb.bsky.social, in @canadiandimension.bsky.social on the urgent need for an excess profits tax on oil & gas: canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

This conversation happened in no small part thanks to recent excellent reports published by @c4tf.bsky.social with @bcpolicy.bsky.social and @oxfamcanada.bsky.social (I'll link both below). Also highly recommend the second half of the episode featuring @jimbostanford.bsky.social.

@c4tf.bsky.social and @bcpolicy.bsky.social found that, in 2023, 86 billionaire families held as much wealth as Canada’s 6.2 million least wealthy families. The big question for @dylandusseault.bsky.social is how to fix it? #WealthInequality #WorkingPeople

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...

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! 🌟

Our new ED, Jared A. Walker, on why we need the DST to stand up to big tech, and to Trump ⬇️

New report out from our friends, @patmillscanada.bsky.social! 👀

We’re in Ottawa, joining our friends at @oxfamcanada.bsky.social and @c4tf.bsky.social discussing the opportunity Canada has at the G7 to be a leader on combating wealth inequality through the tax code

I’m really excited that Jared Walker is joining us at @c4tf.bsky.social as Executive Director - www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...
