Everything Political: Is It Time to “Cancel” Billionaires?

February 19
55 mins

Episode Description

Linda McQuaig joins the Everything Political panel with former MPs Martha Hall Findlay and Tony Clement to discuss her book, “Cancelling Billionaires Before They Cancel Us: The Urgent Case for a Wealth Tax,” whether billionaires should exist, how current levels of inequality can lead to “revolution,” how Canada’s tax system needs to change, the politics around bringing in a wealth tax, and if it would cause the rich to leave Canada. 

They also discuss the alternate option of a universal basic income, the problem with philanthropy and foundations in Canada, and the growing conservative support for a wealth tax.
