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.

GDP per capita is a deeply flawed measurement for evaluating rich countries and is easily influenced by factors that have zilch to do with economic well-being.

How's 🍁economy? New research shows it's about the same as Germany, the UK and Aus.

I take it this is overall average? Do you have a sense of what this would look like for lower income/wealth quantiles? (i.e., bottom 10%, 20%, 25%, 50%)?

Nice to see Premier Kinew leaning into competition issues.

The Competition Bureau can only do so much. Some of the really awful behaviour taking place in sectors is easier to deal with provincially given what they already have powers over.

I feel less confident with each passing month that we'll find a subsidized spot for my little guy in July. The implementation of this program doesn't seem to be working.

The UK stats on employee ownership keep impressing year after year with no sign of slowing down.

When you make selling to your employees economically viable, it - unsurprisingly - turns out to be a pretty popular option.

Canada’s Richest People - Macleans.ca An extensively researched ranking of the country’s wealthiest grocers, tech giants, developers, investors and other mega moguls

Well, however understated these wealth figures are they can serve as a useful basis for creating new wealth concentration figures (top 0.1%) - like the PBO has undertaken previously.

StatsCan still shows no interest in doing this work themselves.

Request to add @scpartners.bsky.social - a non-profit that deploys policy and advocacy to confront wealth concentration, primarily in Canada.

Doing political pitching in the first place is super rare & should be encouraged.

I worked in Minister's Offices for years and can't recall ever being pitched directly by an academic. Just some think-tanks who had academics supporting their work.

Staffers lack the time to sift through journals
