To: Federal Party Leaders

[SURJ TO SAYS] Tax their Billions and fund a better future for All of US

Tell federal party leaders to tax corporations and the ultra wealthy and fund a better future for All of Us:

Canada’s political parties are looking ahead to the upcoming election. Let’s show them the kind of bold action Canadians need, want, and deserve.

BUILD HOMES FOR PEOPLE, NOT PROFIT

DELIVER CHEAPER, CLEANER ENERGY 

INVEST IN SAFE, HEALTHY COMMUNITIES

CREATE GOOD JOBS FOR ALL

FOLLOW INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP

Why is this important?

We all deserve a fighting chance at a decent life. If you work hard, 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. History shows us that when working people come together, we can tip the scales back in our favour.

By raising taxes on Big Oil and Canada’s wealthiest corporations, we can recoup billions of dollars to transform our energy system, create good unionized jobs for workers, build free public transit, construct energy-efficient social housing, honour Indigenous land rights, and invest in the robust public services our communities depend on.
