Landlords are destroying community staples through land value extraction.
Where they exist, Community Land Trusts are doing the opposite and saving them.
We need to enormously expand the latter and shrink the former.

A new report finds wealth in Canada concentrating to levels that evoke the Gilded Age.
As dynastic fortunes continue to balloon, so too does capital’s leverage over politics and public life: jacobin.com/2026/03/canada…

Great to see @avilewis, whom we've endorsed, covering Community Land Trusts.
CLTs have become core to building community wealth.
They bring local economic democracy and *permanent* affordable housing together.
And they work from Toronto to Whitehorse. 👍

Scotland has passed the first national community wealth building legislation.
We've pushed for a Canadian federal CWB agenda long before Trump attacked our sovereignty.
Now more than ever, Canada should be building robust community wealth coast to coast.

"...the Scottish Community Wealth Bill is a beacon not just for lawmakers far and wide but for everyone wishing to unlock collective power in communities and workplaces..."

Scotland has passed the world's first NATIONAL community wealth building legislation!
An important milestone.
Let's do Canada next.

Scotland just became the first country in the world to pass a Community Wealth Building law. Here’s how it will help local communities, local businesses and create local jobs. 👇

The NDP especially can't be "characters in search of a plot."
Mainstream parties are entrenching failed neoliberalism.
But we need bold alternatives to neoliberalism now more than ever.
Those alternatives should be rooted in economic democracy and community wealth.

Doly Begum’s shock defection highlights the NDP’s challenges, but Avi Lewis is emerging as the candidate with the progressive vision to steer the party into the future, positioning him to rebuild trust, clarify the party’s purpose, and energize the base. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

ENDORSEMENT! We're thrilled to endorse @avilewis for leader of the federal NDP. We're especially glad see Avi's bold platform includes two of our top federal priorities since we started in 2021: a Right of First Refusal for workers and a National Worker Ownership Fund!

Over 3/4 of Canadian small and mid-sized business owners are about to retire.
A plan to save lots of these companies by turning them into worker cooperatives is a VERY good idea.

Canada can't keep drifting to a failed neoliberal right in a US-style duopoly.
We need to disrupt this status quo.
And we need a robust community wealth agenda.

Mark Carney promised “elbows up” politics. Instead, he’s narrowed Canada’s choices and deepened the neoliberal consensus. With a byelection looming in University–Rosedale, Colin Bruce Anthes argues why a strategic NDP vote matters well beyond Toronto. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

Happy New Year! We'll be endorsing municipal candidates across the country in 2026. We need a Canadian economy structured very differently. It's time for community wealth, not absurd oligarchic inequality. ctvnews.ca/canada/article…

Amazing news from Niagara!
The Community Land Trust of Niagara will has been approved for its first major project with 83 units.
And we're proud to say the land trust is chaired by St. Catharines councillor Caleb Ratzlaff, one of our candidates from 2022.

True in Canada too!
When the rich fight, we've got more tools than taxes to get things done for working people.
Progressive procurement, cooperatives, public banks, & more.
"This kind of community wealth building is known as 'pre-distributive' economics."

Great news!
Parkdale People's Place will be developed by the Parkdale Neighborhood Community Land Trust @parkdaleland!
A massive win for community ownership and organization.

Excellent article in @CDN_Dimension.
Canada's economy is a rentier economy.
"This hurts everyone. Well, everyone who isn’t a banker."
Growing an economy of leeches is a terrible goal.
Time to build democratic community wealth instead.

Great points here.
$2 trillion is Canadian assets are changing hands due to retiring entrepreneurs.
We should be expanding policy to pass these companies down to their WORKERS.
That means employee ownership trusts AND worker cooperatives!
