The Broadbent Institute has launched its new Equality Project with a poll by Environics Research that shows the majority of Canadians view growing income inequality as a big problem with long-term consequences - a problem that undermines Canadian values. The poll also shows Canadians are ahead of their politicians in supporting the need for higher taxes to protect social programs. And this finding: 83% of Canadians support raising taxes on the richest.
See the poll here and an op-ed by Ed Broadbent in the Toronto Star here.
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.
