We’re not going to build an economy that lifts working Canadians, protects our democracy, and sustains our growth if the government’s tax strategy is: “Whatever big tech wants” nationalnewswatch.com/2025/11/22/o...

If G20 leaders want to lead countries that are thriving, with strong consumer bases in a sustainable world, they have to start effectively taxing the rich. @abigaildisney.bsky.social time.com/7335231/g20-...

G20 leaders meeting this week in South Africa: The world deserves hope. And our hope is a more equal and sustainable future. You can help deliver this. Be the people's champion: Tax The Super Rich. #G20SouthAfrica

UBI Works founder @floydmarinescu.bsky.social's op-ed in The Star As a entrepreneur, Floyd knows corporate tax cuts aren't what drive innovation and entrepreneurship — certainty, consumer demand, and economic security do. That's what Basic Income delivers.

"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."

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...

“It’s time for the wealthiest – people like us – to pay a fairer share, so we can help lift these kids out of poverty and begin rebuilding our public services and communities right across the UK.” - PMUK's Phil White https://independent.pulse.ly/rj8l9q7mwi

While Canadians are being told by their government to prepare to sacrifice, the 10 richest Canadians saw their wealth grow 20% last year. Instead of asking Canadians to scrimp, we have to tax the ultra-rich. macleans.ca/longforms/th...

👇A lire! Du leadership et de l’audace avec @doctrott.bsky.social Il est urgent de taxer l’ultra richesse : Pour des revenus nécessaires pour les services publics et la transition juste Pour l’équité fiscale Pour qu’ils fassent leur part car polluent bcp plus que le reste du monde #polcan

"C’est là que ça mène, de continuer à creuser le gouffre entre les plus riches et les plus pauvres, de consolider le pouvoir dans les mains de très peu de personnes ultrariches. Ça mène à un gouvernement autoritaire" - @doctrott.bsky.social www.lapresse.ca/contexte/202...

Un article à propos de moi dans La Presse aujourd’hui ⬇️

C’est comme si, une fois que tu es suffisamment riche, on te dit: «Félicitations! Vous avez gagné au capitalisme. En échange, on vous donne des cadeaux fiscaux. Vous n’avez plus besoin de payer d’impôts sur 50 % de votre revenu.» C’est complètement ridicule www.lapresse.ca/contexte/202...

The lowest hanging revenue fruit is taxing the ultra wealthy in a time of extreme wealth inequality. In fact, 45 rich Canadians demanded just that ahead of the federal budget! patrioticmillionaires.ca/media/press-...

For those unconcerned with the growing concentration of personal wealth and corporate profits, the budget will be welcome news. For those who have a different concept of what makes a nation and its people strong, united and resilient, it will be received differently. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

45 wealthy Canadians to Minister Champagne ahead of the federal budget: "The tax code is the best tool the government has to reduce wealth inequality, but its current design guarantees that the wealthy will always get a better deal than working Canadians.” patrioticmillionaires.ca/media/press-...

People like to claim the rich already pay too many taxes. But the wealthiest 1% pay an effective rate of 23.6% The average for working Canadians? 36.7%/ Check out the new inequality scorecard from our friends @oxfamcanada.bsky.social www.oxfam.ca/publication/...

An important question at a pivotal moment. Social programs that benefit all of society are coming under increasing pressure. The wealth exists in Canada to support everyone. We just need a tax code that gets the job done. #taxwealthnotwork

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!

Canada’s wealth gap is way worse than official data show. The PBO just confirmed the top 1% own nearly 25% of all wealth—which StatsCan missed because it doesn’t even count the richest families in its surveys. 🔗 Read more: socialcapitalpartners.ca/wealth-inequ... #CdnPoli #BillionaireBlindspot

A must read thread responding to the most bizarre “critique” I’ve ever seen of wealth taxes. The article reads pretty much like a verbatim copy of @patmillscanada.bsky.social ‘s central messaging, while telling us to cut a check to the government and to shut up 🤷🏼

📢📢📢

“Sending money voluntarily does not solve the problem! Taxes should require those who have profited the most from investments in education, infrastructure, healthcare, etc. to reinvest back into the economy & ensure those services stay well funded.”

Haha I guess my piece hit a nerve! @patmillscanada.bsky.social on 🔥 with this rebuttal!

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...

"In 2024, billionaire wealth grew by $309 million daily, pushing the total wealth of Canada's 65 billionaires to nearly $500B – more than the combined GDP of many countries.... Fair taxation is one of the most powerful tools to tackle inequality."

In case you missed it, @doctrott.bsky.social joined @davekaufman.bsky.social and I to talk about the realities of wealth disparity in Canada and how to address it. Clearing the Benches is available on your preferred podcast platform.

🚨New video🚨 As Canadians, we like to think we’re strong and free. But, when it comes to the wealth gap, we’re looking more like America Lite—better manners, but almost all the inequality. #CdnPoli #CanadaSky #Wealth #EconSky

In Canada, top 1% of wealth holders hold 24% of total wealth. Meanwhile, PM Carney has an ‘austerity budget’, which will impact the disadvantaged. Patriotic Millionaires Canada, which I am a board member of, estimated that a 3% tax on wealth over $100-million could raise $25-billion annually.

“While working Canadians are paying higher rates than their ultra-wealthy fellow citizens... the government is currently considering a so-called austerity budget that is almost certain to make these problems worse.” - @sabivm.bsky.social and Hon. Ratna Omidvar www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

"We're seeing lots of threats to democracy around the world... with converging crises coming at us, I think we're in for a period of massive instability. My belief is that a lot of that is driven by inequality." [email protected] patrioticmillionaires.ca/media/taxing...

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...

BC friends, important piece by @iglikaivanova.bsky.social She writes: BC’s own source revenue—taxes, fees & royalties—has plummeted from 19.2% to 15.4% of GDP over 25 years. This drop represents $16.8 billion in foregone revenues annually." Tax cuts drive the deficit; progressive tax ⬆️ needed 👇

I really enjoyed our chat with @doctrott.bsky.social from Patriotic Millionaires Canada @patmillscanada.bsky.social and I think you will too!

15 billion. Not by using any of the advantages the ultra-rich already get in the tax code. Just plain theft. Everyone agrees we need to crack down on this, so what's stopping us? breachmedia.ca/canadas-hidd...

The US is a huge flashing warning sign on how a tax code fueled Oligarchy can form! Canada has many of the same problems, but we have a chance to change before it's too late! It just takes taxing the ultra-rich. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/05/t...

Our American peers have just introduced a plan to ensure no one pays taxes until their basic cost of living is covered, and make the mega-rich pay for it! If the Carney government wants to fund tax cuts for the lowest income earners, they should tax the rich, not cut vital services.

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.

Who does Doug Ford want to cut taxes for? Massive corporations that are price gouging consumers? Rich investors already getting a sweetheart deal? Instead, why don't we fight tax havens and tax the ultra-rich and make investments that actually help working Canadians.

So far, Canada has refused to join with other G20 countries and crack down on tax havens. Listen to Jared Walker (from @c4tf.bsky.social) on how Canadian corporations have been abusing these havens for decades, and how it's hurting every day Canadians. perspectivesjournal.ca/canadas-tax-...

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/...

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

Instead of making huge cuts to public services, the government should be looking at where the money is: the uber-rich paying extremely low tax rates as wealth inequality explodes. (From @ricardotranjan.bsky.social) www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

"Unlike wages, wealth reflects not just income but also access to assets, favourable institutional conditions – such as low interest rates – and public policies like low taxes and housing shortages. In other words, wealth depends on political choices" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Inequality doesn't just threaten our economy. It threatens the stability of our society and our democracies.

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 💫

If we were going to build a sky scraper, we would never make the bottom shaky and unstable and throw all the weight on top. So why should we build our economy that way? If this pattern continues, the whole thing will topple over.

Our US pals @patrioticmillionaires.org are in @washingtonpost.com today! They're sounding the alarm! Canada can avoid the mistakes of the US with a tax code that stops funneling wealth to the top and effectively taxes the super rich! www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"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...

Love the work that the Good Ancestors Movement is doing. We have these issues in Canada and they might get worse. Those who earn their money from their assets pay less in taxes than those who make their money from work. And they are lobbying for even more. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
