Proud Canadian 🇨🇦🍁. Cloverdale, BC resident since 2001. Fighting for a more equitable and compassionate society. The climate crisis is real. End fossil fuel consumption now if we expect to leave a livable planet to future generations.

Stand up for what you believe in - democracy, equality, livable planet, affordable living, etc. You pick, but STAND UP. Future generations are counting on it.
Phrase of the day....'Gold-Bar Diplomacy'. When Swiss tycoons handed Donald Trump a gold bar and a Rolex watch – gifts that were followed by a cut in US tariffs – it was no diplomatic nicety. It was a reminder of how concentrated wealth seems to buy access and bend policy. Great article below.

One thing about the Trump admin, they don't hide their intent. An invasion of Venezuela is all about capturing the oil & gas reserves for American fossil fuel giants. This sounds like another Shock Doctrine to me.

The wealthy have benefited far too long from a tax code that favours wealth and penalizes work. This is upside down. Great societies are built by its working population. Create a tax code that reflects this.

It's time for the wealthy to ask themselves: Do they want to be rich people in a poor country?
Or do they want to be rich in a country with great healthcare, education, and infrastructure where everyone has economic security and the opportunity to thrive?
If it's the latter, they should join us!

We're not any more altruistic than the next person. We want less inequality because we know our families will be better off in a society with less inequality.
We're greedy for a different kind of country—one where all people have the ability to thrive, succeed, and have their voices heard.
