The economy is going through unbelievable structural transformations and capitalism is being remade. Clinging to disproven theories will result in economists who can't explain what is going on, nor advise what to do about it.

Read 5 myths about mainstream economics.

When U.S. tariffs threaten creativity, Canada must defend its filmmakers and cultural sovereignty.

Culture isn’t a luxury—it’s strategy, jobs and soft power.

What does it really mean to “take ownership?”

We talked to some Taproot employees to hear what it means to them to work for an employee-owned company.

Spoiler alert: lots of pride and rewards.

As Canadians, we like to think we’re strong and free. But, when it comes to the wealth gap, we’re looking more like America Lite—better manners, but almost all the inequality.

The Social Capital Partners offices are closed today for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also called #OrangeShirtDay.

Today we encourage reflection on the tragic and painful legacy of residential schools.

We thank 6th-grader Albertan Sloane Campbell for her beautiful design.

#NTDR
This design was created for Orange Shirt Day by Sloane Cameron, a Grade 6 student from Innisfail, Alberta. Her design showcases a tree, a heart, and children. The tree to represent nature and the heart to symbolize that every child matters and is equally important. The children in the design are holding feathers as an Indigenous representation; however, she drew them without faces so that they have no expression and can represent any child.

Levels of Foreign Direct Investment don't actually tell us much about the state of the economy.

B.C.-based Taproot's sale of the company to its 750 employees demonstrates exactly what the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) structure was meant to achieve.

We couldn't agree more, Minister Champagne!

One of our economy's big problems is the increasing proportion of profits made through purely financial channels - also called financialization.

Nearly half of all profit in Canada is made just by moving money around.

Now 750 people get to wear this nametag!

This week, Taproot Community Support Services became the largest company in the country to transition to an #EmployeeOwnershipTrust.

This will make sure it stays locally grounded and Canadian-owned for the long term

#OwnershipMatters #CdnPoli #Hello
Nametag reads: "HELLO I am a Taproot employee owner"

As Minister Champagne says, employee ownership is a "game changer" for companies like Taproot, for the broader Canadian economy and for frontline workers like Kam.

Congratulations to Kam and all 750 Taproot employees on becoming owners - and Canada's largest EOT!

Thank you for your continued leadership on #EmployeeOwnershipTrusts,
@turnbullwhitby.bsky.social at a crucial time for economic sovereignty.

Especially with an enduring tax incentive, EOTs can keep companies Canadian, keep jobs local and build wealth for workers.

The wealthiest Canadians pay lower tax rates than what the average worker pays.

Why? Because our tax system taxes employment income at a higher rate than passive investment income.
