The obscene wealth inequality cannot be fixed by haircuts on the somewhat higher earners. It needs taxing the obscene wealth difference, not the income streams. Billionaires' income streams are not that spectacular; they live off loans backed by their wealth. Does not even count as income. And us plebs are at each other's throats at a few 10k yearly difference in our incomes. Congratulations to the billies, they played us.

For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.
