• One Cowichan (Cowichan Valley, BC) Demands: Tax their Billions to fund a future for All of Us
    It shouldn’t feel impossible to put a roof over your head and food on the table. But every day, the hope of a decent life feels further and further out of reach for far too many of us. The wealthiest companies in the world are making record profits while we pay the price. From our sky-rocketing grocery bills to our smoke-filled summers, we’re the ones stuck bearing the costs of an economy rigged to benefit a wealthy few. And while our politicians talk a big game, many of them want to give corporations more power— not less. But it doesn’t have to be this way. By exposing the root causes of the crises we are all facing and building widespread support for the solutions we need, our communities can build enough power to push back and demand better.  Our government could generate the billions it needs to fund a just transition to renewable energy and make life more affordable for everyday Canadians by introducing a wealth tax on net wealth over $10 million; implementing an excess profits windfall tax on large corporations such as oil and gas companies; raising the corporate income tax rate; and shutting down loopholes that allow the wealthy to avoid taxes. It’s time to Tax their Billions and build a future for All of Us.

  • Rachael Maskell , Tax Their Billions!
    The richest 1% emit as much planet-heating pollution as two-thirds of the Earth’s population. [1] While many of us are hit with energy bills we can’t afford and faced with cold, damp homes during winter, we are about to witness history’s first trillionaire. Rich people are getting richer, while the rest of us are becoming worse off. In France, for instance, the average taxpayer in 2016 gave 48 percent of earnings to the government, while billionaires paid just 26 percent. And the mega-rich in the UK can leverage various strategies to lower their effective tax rates compared to the average taxpayer. [2] Sources: 1:  Oxfam, 2023.
