Raubrittern geht es besser als je zuvor: Ein neuer Bericht kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Vermögensungleichheit in Kanada neue Höhen erreicht und eine kleine Elite einen verschwenderischen Lebensstil genießt, während die Mehrheit im Regen stehen bleibt.

I don’t know, John Horgan is probably enjoying the cold too.
They are making sure ordinary people are fighting each other instead of fighting the super-rich.
All that Trans, woke, owning the Libs bullshit is just a smoke screen that hides the fact that we are getting robbed blind by the super rich. Out healthcare is failing, education is worse than ever, everything is falling apart because the super rich TAKE from society but CONTRIBUTE nothing to its revenues.
ive got some folks in my orbit who have sold businesses/had large windfall recently. Everything i speak to them they’re jet setting somewhere else, or looking at new properties, toys etc.
Theyre also the same people who claim no one wants to work anymore, and are so detached from the average person’s reality and it boggles my mind.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, „elbows up“ is the slogan they gave you. It protects their interests, not yours.
Yeah. And they don’t think they are anything other than „ordinary people“.
And they’ve got one of their own in 24 Sussex drive to represent their interests.
I have no envy and don’t care what someone else has and how much they have. People that do are only thinking of themselves; they want, want, want. I say get off your butts and create something; people want their employer to pay them more and more and more benefits without any of the risk associated with owning a business.
They could care less; they just want more. The government and media and some self-indulgent activists have convinced too many citizens that life is unfair because of someone having more than them and that they are entitled to some of what they have. It is policies that have created the problem; wake up, people.
What I want is for the government to stop giving advantages to the wealthy, providing access to government officials, and allowing the influencing of decisions; stop giving over-the-top benefits to their friends and to specific classes of people based on chosen or ancestral identities.
The playing field has been tilted to such a degree that I am running uphill or just blocked by gatekeepers. I create and provide, but I am being hampered every step of the way, scratching for resources, and constantly handing more of my potential to a system that does care about me or you.
Stop worrying about what someone else has, and slap the entities that are responsible for creating a system that enriches themselves and their friends or people they want as friends. We the people give MPs a job to represent the people, and as soon as they are there, they turn their backs on us and start feeding.
EVERYTHING IS BROKEN
If you agree that everything sucks, vote for me so that I cut taxes for rich people and all cut all your useless government services. Don’t ask me how this makes sense, you know I’m right because I’m angry at the same people as you (the libs and anyone who appears to get more stuff from the government than you).
Capitalist based democratic socialism is still a capitalist sytem that inevitably exploits the workers. It only means we lose workers rights at a reduced pace from the US.
A wealth tax is a pretty popular idea in Canada over 90% of people support it but I think we should use that kind of money to do something responsible instead of „fun“. Pay off the deficit or build some housing or create a make work program to employ people. It’s barely enough money to do any of those three things but it’s not enough to run a UBI like some people want.
Imo when people talk about thr Trudeau years and why so many where negative about it
Fact is we got promised a govt for middle class but inequality by wealth and income is worse then ever.
Hasn’t Thomson Reuters stock taken a massive dump recently?
Time to tax these f’ers to oblivion and beyond
Repopularize using “Robber Baron”.
There’s under 2000 of these people in all of Canada, as noted in the article. Our attention is better directed at large corporations. That said, the ultra rich down south are a huge problem and this is still a problem in Canada.
Drastic times call for drastic measures.
What that means IDK but just continuing on this path is our downfall and the pace is accelerating rapidly in recent years.
