The Conference Board of Canada has released a report tracking 33 years of worsening income inequality in Canada. In this Toronto Star story, board President Anne Golden says: "While the poor are minimally better off in an absolute sense, they are significantly worse off in a relative sense. And where is the middle-class in all of this? These are important questions for society." The Conference Board has a page devoted to the growing gap on its website, including a short, accessible video illustrating the problem. Click here to see their website.
The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
