Note 2: Sarah Davis, Loblaws President, made the @ccpa’s top 100 CEO list, raking in over $6M in compensation.)
We were never in this together.

On #PrimeDay, let's not forget. During the pandemic, Jeff Bezos became $97 billion richer by increasing prices by up to 1,000% on essential items and denying hazard pay and paid sick leave to over 450,000 of his workers. It's time to break up Amazon and tax the rich.

Now you can listen to a calm British woman call for us to #TaxTheRich
Inequality is growing. The world's richest 1% have more than twice as much wealth as 6.9 billion people. Many of these billionaires are at @wef #WEF20 to solve the "inequality crisis". How can they when they are the problem to begin with?

#CanadaDebates2019 it always ends with tax cuts for middle class, tax cuts to make people richer, but this excludes First Nations & most impoverished who don't make enough to pay taxes. Pandering to so-called middle class perpetuates poverty. #dobetter
