The @FraserInstitute suggests caving to billionaire threats to throw a tantrum, pick up their ball, and go home. Jake conveniently neglects to mention Canada already has an exit tax. If they want to leave, they can pay up!

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 of @PatMillsCanada 🎙️🔗⬇️ perspectivesjournal.ca/patriotic-mill…

At the peak of the Gilded Age in 1910, the richest 0.00001% of the US population owned wealth equal to 4% of national income. Now, the richest 0.00001% owns 12%. US billionaire oligarchs today are even wealthier than the original robber barons. Source: open.substack.com/pub/gzucman/p/…

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. theguardian.com/global/2026/ja…

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.

@TroyMontana18 @ubi_works @PatMillsCanada @floydmarinescu Do you know what the word "rhymes" means?

@ubi_works @PatMillsCanada @floydmarinescu Marinescu rhymes with Ceaucescu ......

UBI Works founder Floyd Marinescu's recent op-ed in The Star "[T]he number one problem with corporate tax cuts? They just don’t work. Economists at the London School of Economics studied 50 years of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, across Canada and 17 other OECD countries, and found that while they increased inequality substantially, they had no significant effect on economic growth or unemployment." "The government is pledging to spend five per cent of GDP on national defence to keep Canadians physically safe. For as low as one per cent of GDP we could keep each other economically safe by guaranteeing a basic income floor." "Any business leader knows that the true enemy of investment is uncertainty. Entrepreneurs take risks when they believe customers will be there to buy their products. In a world where uncertainty is rising, from AI to tariffs to geopolitics, the smartest thing we can do domestically is lower uncertainty for Canadians themselves." Floyd challenges a core assumption behind Budget 2025: that tax cuts are the path to growth. From inside the rooms where actual investment decisions get made, he argues something different; certainty, consumer demand, and economic security are what drive innovation and entrepreneurship. That is exactly what Basic Income delivers. Thanks to our friends at @PatMillsCanada for helping us place this op-ed. Link to article below

"We need to invest in everyday Canadians, and the things that make our country attractive to investors and entrepreneurs, not cut taxes for large corporations and yacht owners."

Rich people who like to lie with data will tell you that the rich already pay more in taxes than anyone else (by focusing exclusively on income). But the wealthiest 1% pay an effective rate of 23.6% The average for working Canadians? 36.7%/ oxfam.ca/publication/ox…

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?

👀👀👀 A fun thread responding to @terencecorcoran's temper tantrum/column about @PatMillsCanada

“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.” hilltimes.com/story/2025/09/…

"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." @FairTaxCanada theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

"Canadians are overwhelmingly supportive of a wealth tax. Many doctors have supported higher taxes on high income earners before. Now, a new group of Canadians called ”Patriotic Millionaires” are calling for higher taxes on the wealthy. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

The super rich have tons of tax advantages available to them by design or legal loophole, and yet... They're still choosing to steal billions every year. These people aren't patriots. They don't care about our economy, democracy, or country.

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 Sabina

Extreme inequality is tearing our democracies apart. Ahead of the #FFD4 Summit, activist Marlene Engelhorn is making it clear: We need to #TaxTheSuperRich — not tomorrow, today ⚖️🔥 @taxmenow_eu #FfD4People #FFD4

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

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

Our new report: G7: raises $411 billion USD per year with a 3% wealth tax on centi-millionaires. Canada: raises $18 billion USD per year with a 3% wealth tax on centi-millionaires or $10 billion USD per year with a 3% wealth tax on just billionaires. patrioticmillionaires.ca/media/report-m…

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.
