"Inequality — be it economic, racial or political — erodes social trust, diminishes belief in democracy and can create openings for demagogues."

lol what was said here?

Through years of coalition building and political advocacy, we helped bring #EmployeeOwnershipTrusts to Canada.

EOTs are poised to explode in popularity in Canada – securing entrepreneurs’ legacies, preserving local jobs and keeping companies Canadian-owned.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

The question was never if they would turn on each, but after how much damage had already been done.

Unfortunately, the answer is "immeasurable."

When I hit 6' in grade 8, I looked up to my own mother, who still had an inch on me.

"You're not tall. Everyone else is just short," she used to say.

It stuck.

I will not shrink. I do not want to. ❤️ Thanks, Mom.

And thanks, @susan-swan.bsky.social. Worth a read! 👇

A little mnemonic.

We believe big financial and corporate interests have been winning too much and we want them to start losing more.

Our richest 1% own a quarter of Canada's wealth.

We get a new billionaire every 12 weeks.

It ain't fair, and it's not solving the productivity crisis, either.

Employee-owned companies are 8-12% MORE PRODUCTIVE than those not owned by workers.

When working people win, Canada wins.

BREAKING: Pentagon says it accepted Qatar's gift of a luxury jet plane for President Trump's use as Air Force One, which has sparked outrage from critics.
@dccartoonist.bsky.social

As the federal government sets out to “build, baby, build,” do we want to own or be owned? As our new government pursues growth and a nation-building agenda, we should remember this lesson from history: too often, we build and invest, only to sell off our assets and resources to the highest...

Growth that widens inequality will weaken, not strengthen our economy.

Canada Strong means putting economic sovereignty and broad access to wealth-building at the heart of our agenda.

Canada should kill the Sunoco deal that would see the TX-based energy giant take over AB-based Parkland Corp.

Elbows up means using all available tools to protect Canadian sovereignty.

Mark Carney passed a tough test in Washington. He now faces an even tougher one at home Canada cannot afford to cede further control of its infrastructure to foreign interests.

PM Carney met Trump at the White House last week and passed his first real test.

Now he faces a different kind of test.

Will Canada be willing to go "elbows up" in the Sunoco/ Parkland energy takeover and kill the deal?

Honestly this is just incredible content.

Access to school meals via 🍁's National School Food Policy is a big win families.

Sarah Doyle @iipp-ucl.bsky.social + @alexhim.bsky.social argue it could also be a win for agrifood businesses, the climate, workers and the broader Canadian economy.

As the threat to Canada’s sovereignty intensifies, we need policies that keep Canadian companies owned by Canadians.

Employee-ownership is growing in 🍁 for good reasons:

- more wealth for workers
- more resilient in recessions
- more productive

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives.

The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

It’s a beautiful evening to vote for @lesliechurch.bsky.social

Corporate leaders are obsessing over GDP per capita.

But, if you look at just about any number that would meaningfully tell you how well our economy is doing, Canada does better than the U.S.

Canada’s pension funds need to get their #ElbowsUp!

They are some of the most powerful institutional investors in the world. But as questions of economic sovereignty take centre stage: are they doing enough here at home?

We all get that if a business faces tariffs of 25%, they may not be able to survive. And yet our governments won't prohibit commercial rent hikes of 25% or far more.

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, but they’re struggling to keep up with skyrocketing rents.

As SCP Fellow @lilianac.bsky.social argues, the exploitation happens because it’s been allowed to happen.

But 🍁 can solve for this!
