Eroding Equalization




The issue of equalization has raised its barely comprehensible head once
more. But just because it is complicated doesn't mean it's not
important. So here is my attempt to shed light on the issue.

The Federal equalization transfers are intended to ensure that Canadians
receive a similar level of public services at similar levels of
taxation, regardless of where they live.

Support Our Work

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.
