Our platform favours the poorest 99.9% of Canadians at the expense of the wealthiest 0.1%. In Canada, that would mean the biggest sacrifices by the richest 40,000 of our population of more than 41.5 million[source]. 

We ask the ultrawealthy to voluntarily return the hoard of money they unfairly amassed by exploiting generations of hardworking underpaid Canadians.

​

If the ultrawealthy refuse our plea for help, we will be forced to enact legislation to:

• introduce two new personal federal income brackets, raising income taxes for Canadians earning more than $500,000 (40%) and $1,000,000 (51%) annually

• create a new proportional estate tax on the ultrawealthy that doesn't impact the vast majority of inheritances (i.e., less than $5 million)

• direct the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to focus their efforts on identifying people who hide vast wealth, rather than conducting random audits of ordinary Canadians

• make fines and fees proportional to financial capability (e.g., a $400 speeding ticket is not an effective disincentive to the ultrawealthy - it's just the price they gladly pay for the privilege to drive faster than everyone else.)

• enact strong new protections against personal wealth migration and corporate tax evasion

• increase the higher corporate tax rate to 30%, while expanding the number of small businesses and worker-owned cooperatives that qualify for lower tax rates

• eliminate the capital gains % exclusion[reference], increase the lifetime capital gains exemption (LCGE) to $5 million

• prioritize tax programs and rebates at point of sale to remove barriers for low-cash families and individuals
