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

We get a new billionaire every 12 weeks.

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

When working people win, Canada wins.

Private equity wants law firms…

Read my op-ed in @bloomberglaw.com to see why I think it’s a bad idea and why decentralization is a better alternative.

I hope this can bring us together. Country over party.

Whether people like him or not, that was a fantastic speech and great leadership. 🇨🇦

I hope our current and aspiring leaders have the spines to have a united front. I’m very curious to see what Pierre Polievre has to say. He may have to say something nice about Trudeau for once in his life. He’s been quiet for too long.

Really impressed with what Trudeau is saying right now. Like him or not, this is great leadership. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

PE makes its money through extraction, not investment. It’s a zero sum game and they’re making the rules.

Folks, we're living in a Second Gilded Age.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Does Elon have any actual friends? Asking for a friend… because I have them.

Now that Zuck has gone full Elon, can we just all agree for a not-for-profit to create one or two universal social media platforms so we don’t have to keep switching? I’ve now reached the age where technology changes annoy me. Windows 11? No thanks.

Facts are dead. Cooool.

Overbooked flights, lost luggage, endless delays. Holiday travel chaos isn’t bad luck—it’s corporate greed in action. Airlines want you to believe this is normal. It’s not. It’s the result of deregulation & corporate greed.
