As Canadians, we like to think we’re strong and free. But, when it comes to the wealth gap, we’re looking more like America Lite—better manners, but almost all the inequality.

🚨New explainer🚨

Levels of Foreign Direct Investment don't actually tell us much about the state of the economy.

@iipp-ucl.bsky.social's Sarah Doyle and @jonshell.bsky.social unpack what FDI is, when it is and isn’t beneficial and why these nuances matters.

A great day for employee ownership in Canada. #CdnPoli #CanadaSky #EconSky #EOTs #EmployeeOwnershipTrusts

As Minister Champagne says, employee ownership is a "game changer" for companies like Taproot, for the broader Canadian economy and for frontline workers like Kam.

Congratulations to Kam and all 750 Taproot employees on becoming owners - and Canada's largest EOT!

Thank you for your continued leadership on #EmployeeOwnershipTrusts,
@turnbullwhitby.bsky.social at a crucial time for economic sovereignty.

Especially with an enduring tax incentive, EOTs can keep companies Canadian, keep jobs local and build wealth for workers.

#OwnershipMatters

The wealthiest Canadians pay lower tax rates than what the average worker pays.

Why? Because our tax system taxes employment income at a higher rate than passive investment income.

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

Ownership matters.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

"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?

Tweet from Charlie Spiering @charliespiering: "Photos show Mike Waltz literally checking Signal during the cabinet meeting (via Reuters)" UNderneath is a zoomed in picture of a phone with the chats open. You can see chats with Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Tulsi Gabbard, JD Vance, someone whose last name ends with "cheidt," and a group chat labeled "NSC Scheduling." You can see You can see that JD Vance's chat has a text saying "I have confirmation from my counterpart it's turned off. He is going to be here..."

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.
