If you really want to know how detached-from-reality getting too rich can make you, this deranged lunatic thinks being a billionaire makes him a persecuted minority, and that suggesting he should pay taxes is hate speech. www.fastcompany.com/91537743/say...

Patriotic Millionaires Canada board member Emma Davis on why wealth taxes won’t scare away wealthy Canadians. Taxes pay for the things that make Canada a great place to live, and everyone, especially the rich, benefit.

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

Emma is an all-star! "We’ve been conditioned to see taxation as a burden, but we can reframe this. Let’s celebrate a mechanism that allows us to collectively build a society that works for everyone. This year, I proudly paid the extra tax voluntarily. Next year, I hope the government makes me."

It’s time for those who have benefited the most from all Canada has to offer to reinvest into those systems, instead of pulling up the ladder behind them. Patriotic Millionaires Canada Executive Director Dylan Dussault on Patriotic Millionaires Canada’s mission and message.

@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

A new report found 86 billionaire families hold as much wealth as Canada’s 6.2 million poorest families. We speak with @dylandusseault.bsky.social on why some of Canada's richest say they should be taxed more and @jimbostanford.bsky.social breaks down tax loopholes driving the gap lnk.to/bigstory

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.

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...

“Extreme wealth inequality is too often treated as an inevitability — it’s not. It’s a policy choice, and one that our federal government continues to make every day that our tax code remains the same.”-Emma Davis writes with @oxfamcanada.bsky.social’s Lauren Ravon www.thestar.com/business/opi...

"[Ordinary people] protect their neighbours, even if it brings the state’s wrath to their own doors. Meanwhile, for the country’s wealthiest, it’s a race to the bottom of the boot to see who can provide the most thorough tongue bath."

Even the rich agree: extreme wealth inequality is a threat to democracy. New on the Perspectives Journal Podcast: Extreme Wealth’s Threat to Democracy with @dylandusseault.bsky.social of @patmillscanada.bsky.social 🎙️🔗⬇️

Enjoyed talking with @clementnocos.bsky.social for @patmillscanada.bsky.social about why cutting taxes is not the way to encourage investment or entrepreneurship, why even the wealthy want to tax the rich, and why billionaire wealth flight is an empty threat.

"So what policies should a truly representative government pursue? It would start by not valuing wealth and assets over work and income, and would crack down on tax evasion and avoidance." www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

So many of the big global problems addressed at Davos are symptoms of an ignored one: extreme and ever growing levels of wealth inequality. Our tax code currently guarantees it will only grow (and grow faster). But it can be a tool to constrain it, and fund the fixes to its trickle down impacts

Chatted about how we can use the tax code to reduce grocery price gouging! But the explosive wealth growth of the Weston and the Pattinson families aren't unique. There has been universal massive growth in billionaire wealth while average Canadians struggle. vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/01/20/n...

Government leaders, executives, and heads of state are in Davos for the annual World Economic Forum, which purports to be a discussion place for the world's biggest challenges. But they're missing the most important one: extreme wealth inequality. www.theguardian.com/global/2026/...

For the record: Canada is also a country with a massive amount of oil, and Trump has already spent significant time blaming Canada for drug problems in the US, so I don’t know why any Canadian leader with an ounce of critical thinking skills would cheerlead this.

Okay I gotta admit I was expecting to click this and see some nibble around the edges nonsense but instead I got: End step up in basis Scrap the SS income cap End 1031 exchanges Bit too late but still a surprise! www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/o...

“I frew up”

Perhaps the government should wonder whether the largest tech company in the country actually wants innovation, growth, and entrepreneurship? Or whether they’d just like to stay on top of the pile and line their own pockets?

"Canada should not race the U.S. to the bottom with tax credits, but position ourselves as the country where talent can take risks, where families experience genuine long-term security, and where investors know domestic demand will be stable and growing. That is our competitive advantage."

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

Straight from the mouth of founder and investor @floydmarinescu.bsky.social: Corporate are not what motivates investment or entrepreneurship, they undermine the things that do, and historically have never worked. So why try and tax credit our way to prosperity? www.thestar.com/business/opi...

We could literally keep all the US passenger flights running if we just made billionaires fly commercial. I hear the first class cabins are perfectly adequate!

It's time for the wealthy to ask themselves: Do they want to be rich people in a poor country? Or do they want to be rich in a country with great healthcare, education, and infrastructure where everyone has economic security and the opportunity to thrive? If it's the latter, they should join us!

Really fun thread here responding to Terence Corcoran's temper tantrum (err whoops I meant to say column) about @patmillscanada.bsky.social

Our Board Chair @doctrott.bsky.social joined @berkshire.bsky.social and @davekaufman.bsky.social on Clearing the Benches to talk extreme wealth inequality and how the tax code is fueling it. patrioticmillionaires.ca/media/taxing...

Text I sent my brother right before the game started.

Our tax code values money over sweat. It values already being rich over earning a paycheck. It values unproductive and even extractive investment more than actually working for a living. Until that changes, the tax code will guarantee wealth inequality in this country grows.

Can’t over emphasize how impressed I am by the steel spines of members and leadership at the CUPE, or how disappointed I am by the attempt to trample on their rights.

J’ai participé à une échange à propos des inégalités et la taxation des ultras-riches 👇

Forward Global Member Claire Trottier (@doctrott.bsky.social), Chair of @patmillscanada.bsky.social, joined Radio-Canada OHdio to discuss wealth inequality and its solutions—including higher taxes on wealth holders. Listen (en français): bit.ly/3H2O3Z7

Through 5,000 years of human history, the same cycle repeats: Elites extract huge amounts of wealth and power, a small oligarchy makes poor decisions in their own short term self interest, and what's left of society collapses. Can we learn from those mistakes? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Why do Patriotic Millionaires feel so ready to fight back against the members of their class who hoard wealth, avoid taxes, and pull the ladder up behind them? Just ask @sabivm.bsky.social

After a long career in tech, Avi Bryant is familiar with venture-capital. Invest broadly, expect that not everything will pay out, but a really successful investment pays for all the others, and much more. macleans.ca/politics/tax...

Do Canadians want to follow our neighbors to the south by continuing to prioritize low taxes for the super-rich while cutting services? Read this phenomenal piece by one of my fellow @patmillscanada.bsky.social members for an alternative vision of a more just society macleans.ca/politics/tax...

It is hard to understand how our federal and provincial governments could have gotten the tax code so wrong. The workers that actually build this country are taxed on 100% of their income. Meanwhile, the wealthy enjoy a smorgasbord of tax breaks. Great article Avi. #taxwealthnotwork #taxtherich

So proud to call @avibryant.com a member of @patmillscanada.bsky.social. Highly encourage reading this clear and insightful piece on why he believes him and his peers need to be paying more. macleans.ca/politics/tax...

Does Canada want to be a leader in reducing inequality? In fighting tax evasion? Or does it want to slip further into oligarchy? If the former, it should be joining this SPA at #FFD4

Hugely disappointing to see the Government cave on this. I wouldn't call it "Elbows up" to allow giant American corporations to keep extracting profit from Canada without paying tax.

"Congratulations, you're rich, here's a tax cut!"

As Canada hosts the G7 this week, a new report from @patmillscanada.bsky.social shows a wealth tax on JUST the G7’s centi-millionaires could raise up to $411 billion a year. Read more in our press release patrioticmillionaires.uk/latest-news/...

Key stats: G7 could raise $411 billion USD per year with a 3% wealth tax on centi-millionaires. Canada could raise $18 billion USD per year with a 3% wealth tax on centi-millionaires. Canada could raise $10 billion USD per year with a 3% wealth tax on JUST billionaires.

Thank you to my brother, who immediately wanted to make fun of me for my facial expressions and made this excellent content
