There are fountains of wealth being generated in this country. But that wealth isn't trickling down to working people. It’s all stuck at the top.

Our 'Tax Plan for the 99%' takes on the corporate hoarding class – to redistribute wealth⁠ and raise the floor for all of us.

Income inequality is at an all-time high in Canada.

Meanwhile, CEO pay keeps climbing. The top 1% richest families control almost a quarter of the country’s wealth. And the six biggest banks raked in $70 billion in profits last year alone.

It’s time to tilt the scales back towards the 99%.

"Tax the Ultra-Rich" slide. Text: "Implement a wealth tax on the top 1%, starting at 1% and rising to 3% on the largest fortunes, to generate as much as $40 billion a year. Create a new tax bracket for the top income earners. Treat capital gains the same as employment income. Tax wealth inheritance over $5 million."
