Everything Political: Is It Time to “Cancel” Billionaires?

Linda McQuaig joins the Everything Political panel with former MPs Martha Hall Findlay and Tony Clement to discuss her book, “Cancelling Billionaires Before They Cancel Us: The Urgent Case for a Wealth Tax,” whether billionaires should exist, how current levels of inequality can lead to “revolution,” how Canada’s tax system needs to change, the politics around bringing in a wealth tax, and if it would cause the rich to leave Canada. 

They also discuss the alternate option of a universal basic income, the problem with philanthropy and foundations in Canada, and the growing conservative support for a wealth tax.
