It's another excuse to loot the public coffers and phunnel the difference into tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of the service provided. These people are intentionally sabotaging the core structure of our society for profit.

The idea of needing to means test becomes entirely moot when ya realize that a part of implementing a ubi is the corresponding taxation on the upper end that would compensate for it regardless rendering means testing a redundant pointless ideological act more than anything.

Canadians want to build big things, but you can’t build those things without steel. To save the Canadian steel industry and take back control of our economy, Canada must nationalize Stelco.

It is imperative that our survival be disconnected from employment and connected instead to citizenship, or even better, a basic human right to existence. The arrangement we have of dependence on finding an employer to sponsor our survival cannot and should not be considered by anyone as being just.

So, Conservatives think public ownership is good when it’s gifting the highly profitable oil industry another pipeline, but not when it means saving Canadian jobs and our domestic steel industry? Interesting. Anyway. Nationalize Stelco.

Stelco’s American owners have broken their commitments. Their CEO supports Trump’s tariffs, which are designed to deindustrialize our economy and destroy our manufacturing base. If we’re serious about saving the Canadian steel industry, Canada must nationalize Stelco. www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-lea...

Some additional context: Trump's regime is wielding soft power to achieve their means under the threat of wielding their military power. I don't think they actually want to engage in actual armed conflict with its neighbours as a hot war on their border would result in actual resistance.

It’s hard enough for cities in Canada to do smarter things given how often bad city leaders hurt their own cities. But it’s extra infuriating watching awful provincial premiers sabotaging cities by ripping out good things they FINALLY managed to achieve. Premiers should not have that power, period.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…
