BREAKING--The UAW is already celebrating its HUGE HISTORIC WIN IN CHATTANOOGA -With more than 60% of the vote counted, the UAW is winning 2,050 to 699. That's a colossal 75% for & 25% against Labor historian Joseph McCartin says, "HUGE! This is the break we've waited years for."
Effective immediately, I have resigned from Minister @KamalKheraLib Disability Advisory Group. I am deeply disappointed in what #Budget2024 provided for the Canada Disability Benefit. Read my full letter here.
The Globe quotes @JustinTrudeau saying the budget asks the “ultra rich” to pay their fair share. The progressive cap gains tax has pros and cons but a home run would be alternative minimum tax of 1% of property value. Raise billions with no damage to the economy.
Strong agree with Mike here on the big driver of intergenerational inequality. And while supply-side actions of appropriate scale will help address this, government really dropped the ball by actively looking the other way on the tax treatment of these real estate gains.

On capital gains: Here is Michael Smart arguing for a higher inclusion rate back in 2021. financesofthenation.ca/2021/01/07/its… Here is Rhys Kesselman arguing for the two-tier rate structure that was introduced today. financesofthenation.ca/2023/03/09/pat…
I agree w/ @trevortombe, having had the benefit of his number-crunching, that a 2/3 incl. rate more nearly equalizes the cap gains tax with taxes on dividends, interest & wages, and is thus a Good Thing. I’d have preferred it had been done as part of a broader tax reform however.

Two weeks left to submit: The CJE seeks to publish a symposium on Trade and Indigenous Nations, to be edited by Rob Gillezeau (@robgillezeau) and Peter Morrow (@p_morrow_UofT). The submission deadline is May 1, 2024. For more detail, visit economics.ca/cpages/cje-home.
Important changes and welcome increases to student scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships. Looks like Banting and Vanier are going away.
I'm a big fan of this intervention. Ideally, as the link between government and child cares strengthen, we'll see these kinds of early screenings available for even younger children.

I couldn't have imagined a budget saying something like this even a year ago. (And, note, this is in the housing section!)

Indigenous Peoples have been public enemy number one in much of Canadian discourse. It’s only in the last half decade we have had a couple of political parties working to move beyond it. But the return to it by BC United and BC Conservatives needs to be forcefully rejected.
Check out our new WP with @LeoMoralesZur and Diego Salazar where we evaluate the returns to signaling occupation-specific skills.
🚨New WP by @antomancino and coauthors leverages data from a certification program in Colombia and shows that signaling advanced occupation-specific skills yields significant returns for experienced workers.

This glorification of Hamas’s violence is despicable. Celebrating the murder of innocent Jewish people is a horrific form of antisemitism. Standing for human rights, justice & a lasting peace for Palestinians & Israelis, also means standing together against all forms of hate.

$400 obviously doesn't solve anyone's rental crisis (caused first and foremost by profit-gouging landlords). But for 100's of 1000's of people it's a significant bit of help. Just one of many fine measures @Dave_Eby & team have implemented on the housing file in the last year. 🙏
Helped my kid (renter in overpriced Vancouver) do their taxes this weekend, and became familiar with the new BC renter credit. What a well-designed feature: flat rate (means more at low-incomes), phased out starting at $60K (approx median f-t employment income). /2
Owning multiple properties is not a middle class thing, by the way. The main issue in applying capital gains after 250K is that it was also not applied to homes. The secondary issue is that they did not do an inflation adjustment, which I would agree with.
The horrors of a middle class person buying a cottage 20 years ago and accruing a small amount of wealth.
I don’t even support the capital gains changes but people on this site are trying to convince people that having 250K+ in gains on a second property (cottage) is just normal middle class stuff? Just wondering what reality these folks live in.
This is just terrible. Just terrible. My colleague and friend, Caroline Fohlin, has been severely mistreated by the authorities on the campus of Emory. She is literally one of the nicest people I have met in this profession. Really sad.
@MiddleEastEye Here’s @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin knocked to the ground with her head on the concrete. Her glasses are thrown off. She shouts “I’m a professor” #Gaza #Protesters
I have known Caroline Fohlin for years: she is a highly respected colleague, a world expert on financial history (and a very nice person). What happened at Emory is unacceptable, and I want to express my solidarity publicly, as I have done privately.

The videos of how the police mishandled the situation at Emory yesterday are very troubling. Prof. Caroline Fohlin is a fierce defender of all Emory students; anyone who knows her knows that. It was also clear in the videos! It is just awful how things turned out.
University administrators need to step back, and do some thinking about their behavior (and those of their agents) over the past week. And ask if this is really the path they want to go down.
@robgillezeau I take back my last comment. It should have said "let's just keep misallocation at the same level, instead of further worsening it"!
This terrible video of a colleague, Caroline Fohlin, being pointlessly taken down by police @EmoryUniversity. Admin need to exercise greater oversight in times like these. Hope you are ok, Caroline.

Facing record-low approval numbers, @JustinTrudeau is doubling down on his progressive agenda. But he is so upbeat (and Canada-polite) that it’s easy to miss just how radical his vision is. Can he make it work? freak.ws/3JzJbs4
Thank you for the support today @MaritStiles. We all must use every tool possible, everywhere we are, as electeds and as everyday people to challenge Anti-Palestinian racism.
The behaviour we saw in the legislature today towards an MPP is appaling. The Premier and this government are sending a strong message to Arab, Muslim, Palestinians in our province, that they are not welcome here at Queen’s Park. The Ontario NDP will not stand for this.
@robgillezeau Reasonable people can disagree; that's what democracy is for. Industrial policy has been a big part of Canada's economy from the very beginning. Far from distorting the market, it created the markets and the wealth that we enjoy today.
I am willing to do a job for a mere $4.9 million
