😒 They're not even watching the game. Probably too busy scrolling social media.
Exciting finish to the game 😃.

😒 Why do so many people believe that running government services requires the same skillset as running a business. Yes, government services need to be run efficiently but education, healthcare, foreign aid, etc are NOT profit centres.

Interesting parallels how the mantra of neverending economic growth also leads to accelerated wealth inequality. Richard Murphy breaks this down in a recent YouTube video. #taxwealthnotwork #taxtherich

Also disturbing is the fact that these new wind and solar farms end up in the hands of private corporations. Over time, rates will rise and profits will end up in shareholders pockets. Power generation assets should always be public.

How can I get involved with this organization? I live in the Vancouver area. Is there someone out here I can connect with? Our tax system is upside down and needs a major overhaul. Thanks.

I see you follow @naomiaklein.bsky.social. She is an amazing thinker. Recently, she has written about the rise of oligarchy and The End Times. Her well researched articles scare the shit out of me. I strongly recommend you try and get her on your show.

There are many other issues, but you get the idea. I think your format would be a good vehicle for getting these conversations out there. Please let me know.

Why does the wealth inequality continue to grow in Canada? Why does a crypto trader get a 50% tax break on his capital gains while a healthcare professional pays tax on 100% of their income?? Why do we have a homeless crisis when other countries have solved this problem?

Hi Rachel. I am wondering if you might be interested in doing a podcast series entitled, 'Why do we Have to be the Stupid Country?'. There is a lot of material for a series like this. For example; Why do other countries have $trillion sovereign wealth funds and we don't? 🧵
