Canada has a simple choice to make: allow Big Oil’s excess war-driven profits to go directly into the pockets of US/foreign investors and Canada’s richest, or tax those unearned gains and invest back into Canadians and a transition to a future-ready green economy. #cdnpoli
No matter the province, the gap between the top 0.01% and everyone else just keeps growing. @c4tf.bsky.social recent report highlights the disparity in wealth across Canada, province by province. www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...

It's July 8th, 2026. The U.S./Iran peace deal has broken down once again. Canada needs to get serious about a windfall tax on Big Oil to rein in war profiteering and bring down costs for Canadians. Here's why: www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Carney’s fuel tax pause rewards polluters. Instead of capturing windfall profits for the public good, Ottawa is bankrolling fossil fuel companies and starving services needed during the #climatecrisis. New from @silasxuereb.bsky.social: ricochet.media/politics/car... #cdnpoli @c4tf.bsky.social

Carney’s fuel tax pause rewards polluters and will generate more windfall profits for oil companies amidst a rising affordability crisis.

While this will help some households with gas prices, this is not the solution we need - Big Oil is profiting immensely from this crisis, now those profits will come at the expense of our public services as well as workers' paychecks. We should be redistributing those profits not our public services

Recently our senior economist Alex Hemingway with @c4tf.bsky.social Silas Xuereb authored the report The New Robber Barons: A Quarter Century of Wealth Concentration in Canada. Read an interview with Silas in Jacobin
Robber Barons Are Doing Better Than Ever
A new report finds wealth inequality in Canada is reaching new heights, with a tiny elite enjoying lavish lifestyles while the many are left in the cold. The problem is not just moral obscenity but that democracy is perverted by vast wealth concentration.
jacobin.com
We wrote about our report on wealth concentration with @bcpolicy.bsky.social in @thetyee.ca. If we don’t create better economic equality in Canada, we’re on a fast track to oligarchy…
The Tyee@thetyee.ca · 5mo agoAlthough our wealth concentration is not yet at the level of the U.S., we must take what is happening south of the border as a dire warning of the consequences of failing to rein in extreme inequality. Three experts write. #canpoli #uspoli

Canadian oil profits for the Big 4 are set to soar as the US/Israel strikes on Iran rattle global markets. 📈 While prices spike, Cdn producers could reap a "risk premium." We should tax these windfall profits to invest in future-proof, climate-resilient energy. We need a windfall tax on O&G now.
As you fill up with gas that's now up 20c/litre in a week, remember who profits. Cdn oil companies made $150b after-tax profit after the last oil spike (2022). An excess profit tax redistributed to consumers would ease the pain. My take in @thestar.com: www.thestar.com/business/opi...
Trump's war on Iran hasn't altered Canada's cost of making gas — at all. So why are we being hosed at the pumps?
Policy choices, not market forces of a war halfway around the world, explain the spike in prices, writes Jim Stanford, leading to unnecessary economy-wide inflation and higher interest rates.

Automatic tax filing is long-overdue. Yet tax filing giants have been investing in major lobbying efforts to block it. It would put billions in unpaid benefits in the hands of low-income Canadians and greatly improve accessibility. We need our government to make this happen, once and for all.
