Let’s provide that to Palestine as well. It’s time to end the daily massacres.

BCG tried to work with them during the last BCNDP minority, but got suckered into believing ‘policy is infrastructure’ instead of what it is - an empty promise on a piece of paper. It’s crucial that mistake not be repeated. Demand green infrastructure: UBC skytrain, CRD tramways, electric railways..

This is untrue. O&G is currently only 3% of GDP and only 1% of jobs and revenue federally. In BC the numbers are even lower. Coal is BC’s #1 export commodity. You should be far more careful about believing big oil propaganda. Economics is a narrative, a lens and a set of priorities -always political

Not at all surprised by this. The tax exiles narrative was always overblown, and many super wealthy who do leave end up returning and paying a tax office fee to do so. But data and facts will never sway trickle down ideologues like Mark Carney. Finance bros gonna finance bro.

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,…

We’re already destroying the future economy by wasting billions on the dying fossil fuel industry. Destroying Canada is exactly what we’re doing RIGHT NOW under the Smith-Carney-Eby axis of extinctionist extremism. It’s anti-science, anti-life, and it’s economically illiterate.

3 out of 10 Canada Pension Plan board members also serve on boards of oil and gas companies, which Chief Public Affairs Officer Michel Leduc says is “not a conflict of interest.” Last year it made at least $6 billion in new fossil fuel investments and dropped its net zero target.

You’ve complied in advance. It’s an old trick. The media will try to drive down voter turnout by covering polls as opposed to policy. Worked in Ontario when Ford got re-elected. That defeatism is a self-fulfilling prophesy. It’s how democracy ends.
