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

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

Live now! Patriotic Millionaires Canada will be joining @tvotoday.bsky.social tonight! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWKL...

"The data says that the richest 1% control over a quarter of Canada's wealth, which amounts to $3.5 trillion... No one needs that much money." — @sabivm.bsky.social‬ of @patmillscanada.bsky.social, with Emma Davis, @dylandusseault.bsky.social, and @spaikin.bsky.social tonight at 8/11pm

The Canadian chapter of "Patriotic Millionaires" believe the wealthy should contribute more in taxes. Can they convince others to follow their lead? @spaikin.bsky.social speaks with @dylandusseault.bsky.social, Emma Davis, and @sabivm.bsky.social of @patmillscanada.bsky.social tonight at 8/11pm

No one should be using the term "less lethal" when referring to the missiles and projectiles shot at protesters unless you are content doing PR for cops.

All you need to know about Elon: he's openly admitting he knew Trump is a pedophile, and also bragging that Trump could never have become President without him.

💥 “It sounds like we should tax billionaires…” A 2% minimum tax on the ultra-rich is the punchline with a plan: make them pay what ordinary people already do. With growing global momentum, this is no longer just theory. Read: www.ft.com/content/859e...

In this puff piece designed to try and soften Build Canada’s (well-earned) image as a platform for the tech oligarchy to whine about how they’re not rich enough, the founder defends his organization as not being right wing by citing… The Fraser Insititute macleans.ca/economy/dani...

...et plus spécifiquement la faible taxation des riches, est liée de près aux nombreuses crises que traversent les gouvernements d’ici et d’ailleurs: crise climatique, crise du logement, inflation… Toutes ces crises, dit-elle, "sont liées aux inégalités de richesse" www.pieuvre.ca/2025/05/16/p...

For Mother’s Day I am asking for me and other wealthy Canadians to be taxed at a higher level. Read about it at the link below, and find out more by following @patmillscanada.bsky.social 🇨🇦 www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Things we don’t want: Extreme wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, and the wealthy paying a lower rate than working Canadians. Things we do want: A truly progressive tax system where those that benefit the most from gov’t spending pay the tab, and an economy that works for everyone.

This was a really fair article. Well-done @doctrott.bsky.social @dylandusseault.bsky.social Louder for the people in the back: systemic problems require systemic solutions!

So excited to be able to announce this new organization, and honored to play a part in leading it along with our great Board and members. We're going to build this into one of the most active voices fighting inequality in Canada. So give it a follow and check out our story in the CBC!

Time for Canada to learn from south of the border and keep these people out of power. www.levernews.com/the-conserva...

I won't speak for others but I want candidates who won't just win the next election but aggressively, unapologetically destroy trumpism and rebuild everything he's broken. If you're too afraid of a 51-49 poll to even talk about an issue I have no faith that will be you

Build Canada lists supporters who explicitly call for a DOGE for Canada, shares misinformation on public spending, targets government employees as "waste" and ignores bloated private contracts Doesn't matter what you call it, it's a backdoor effort to privatize and profit from public services.

It's tax day in America. "The U.S. tax system has enabled a concentration of wealth so extreme that it threatens our economy, our democracy and the planet." - @patrioticmillionaires.org Read more: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb... #EconSky #TaxFairness

“The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality. The rich should be taxed more, and the revenue used to improve the lives of the poor.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So excited that SCP is launching this new and deeply necessary resource! Too much "research" on taxes is funded by wealthy individuals and corporations hiding behind a think tank structure to justify not paying their fair share. Now all it needs is a great CEO 👀🇨🇦

‘The richest 40% of Canadians would enjoy three-quarters of those promised savings (for either party), while the lowest-income earners in Canada would, on average, enjoy zero benefit. Not great preparation for a tariff war that would hit low-income families the hardest’ @davidmaccdn.bsky.social

In Canada, Shopify executives are heading up a group of tech executives pushing to bring DOGE to Canada, targeting foreign aid programs they don’t like to stir up anger over wasteful government spending. www.disconnect.blog/p/doge-is-go...

Please just fight. And make sure everyone knows you are fighting. Even if it's a hopeless battle. People love that shit. People are inspired by that shit. That is one of the singular myths that we have at the foundation of our entire culture. Going into battle despite great odds.
