Hello Bluesky!

We're Patriotic Millionaires Canada, a new group of wealthy Canadians who believe inequality is hurting our economy and democracy, and we should use the tax code to do something about it.

Enjoyed talking with @clementnocos.bsky.social for @patmillscanada.bsky.social about why cutting taxes is not the way to encourage investment or entrepreneurship, why even the wealthy want to tax the rich, and why billionaire wealth flight is an empty threat.

C’est donc dire que les infirmières, les enseignantes, les travailleurs de la construction et les commis d’épicerie sont davantage imposés, en proportion, que les milliardaires. Comment pouvons-nous continuer de tolérer une telle iniquité ?

Research shows that inequality = higher crime, worse public health, higher addiction, lower educational attainment, worse status anxiety, worse pollution and a host of other ills.

So many of the big global problems addressed at Davos are symptoms of an ignored one: extreme and ever growing levels of wealth inequality.

Our tax code currently guarantees it will only grow (and grow faster).

But it can be a tool to constrain it, and fund the fixes to its trickle down impacts
January 22, 2026 at 7:03 PM
If this many wealthy people can see the obvious threat of extreme wealth inequality, what's holding up our governments from acting?

We need to save our economy, democracy, and climate, and it needs to start with taxing the super rich.

We had questions.

Are most wealthy people more like us than the tax whiners you see in the news?

Do they realize how dangerous wealth inequality is to democracy?

So we asked nearly 4,000 of them across every G20 country, and it turns out: yes!

When even millionaires, like us, recognise that extreme wealth has cost everyone else everything else, there can be no doubt that society is dangerously teetering off the edge of a precipice.
We want our democracies back. We want our communities back. We want our future back.

We polled millionaires across 20 countries, and the vast majority believe:

Governments should raise taxes on the super wealthy.

The wealthy buy political and electoral influence.

Believe extreme wealth is harmful to factual media and democracy.

We were so proud to help organize this signed by nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires in over 20 countries (including over 25 Canadians) demanding that world leaders at Davos get serious about taxing the rich to:
Save economies.

"Taxes, taxes, taxes. All the rest is bullshit"
Davos starts today. But it’s been seven years since Rutger Bregman said everything that needed saying… and the rich and powerful are still pretending like they haven’t heard a thing.

Government leaders, executives, and heads of state are in Davos for the annual World Economic Forum, which purports to be a discussion place for the world's biggest challenges.

But they're missing the most important one: extreme wealth inequality.

Stiglitz's G20 blueprint makes a few facts clear:

Extreme wealth inequality is an intentional policy choice and not the inevitable result of capitalism or globalization.

It is threatening our democracies, climate, and economies.

We must tax the uber-rich.

Perhaps the government should wonder whether the largest tech company in the country actually wants innovation, growth, and entrepreneurship? Or whether they’d just like to stay on top of the pile and line their own pockets?
We’re not going to build an economy that lifts working Canadians, protects our democracy, and sustains our growth if the government’s tax strategy is:

“Whatever big tech wants”
