Canada’s billionaires have grown richer during the pandemic, and calls for a wealth tax are getting louder thestar.com/news/gta/2021/… via @TorontoStar #Canada #WealthTax #inequality #cdnpoli #cdnecon
"A one-time wealth tax won’t enable govts to make sustainable investments in major public projects, such as fighting climate change. It’s only an annual wealth tax that can bend down that curve of rising billionaire wealth & raise revenues for the long term." .. #cdnpoli #cdnecon
"For the super rich during this pandemic, their wealth has been more like a propeller, lifting them to even greater heights. Since March 2020, Canada’s billionaires, of which there are about 4 dozen, have collectively increased their wealth by more than $78B." #WealthTax #cdnpoli
"For Canada's billionaires, #COVID19 has been a boon. The fact that this massive increase in billionaire wealth has come in the midst of record unemployment, small business closures & unprecedented levels of govt debt has renewed calls for some kind of wealth tax." .. #cdnpoli
