If you think “equality isn’t so bad in Canada” bc you’ve looked at the Gini Index – or what is going on in the U.S. - think again. Dig into our new report by @DSkilleter , which finds that Statistics Canada significantly underestimates wealth inequality. bit.ly/3xwQbmv

Who gets to own and control the institutions that govern working people’s daily lives? Does democracy have to stop at the workplace door? @SimonPekProf and I argue the moment is ripe for expanding democratic employee ownership. In today's @VancouverSun vancouversun.com/opinion/op-ed/…
Great to see Toronto City Council passing a fleet of amendments to tighten Toronto's short-term rental rules. Thank you @gordperks, @oliviachow and everyone who did the heavy lifting on this. cc/@Fairbnbcanada #TOpoli #Airbnb thestar.com/news/gta/toron…
In 2022, 20 big landlords applied for >1/2 the Above Guideline rent Increases in Ontario. "AGIs are a common way to pressure longtime tenants to leave, allowing landlords to raise the rent to market rates for new tenants." We need stronger rent controls. cbc.ca/news/investiga…
