What a massive own goal by Google and Apple to bend the knee to Trump on Lake Ontario. The world is watching and the lesson is: get off US tech. This episode of Gloves Off is good on the dangers to personal and national security - and possible solutions.

I learned a lot from these conversations.
If you woke up wondering what Canada does next, there's a show that deals with how Canada keeps its sovereignty in the new world disorder. Eight episodes. Trade. Alliance networks. Military. Technology. Influence. gloves-off.ca/

CFIB thanks Finance Minister @FP_Champagne for listening to small firms and making Employee Ownership Trusts a permanent feature to encourage successful successions. This is an important long term move.

Nice to see the Employee Ownership Trust tax exemption be made permanent in today's Spring Update .
Jon Shell retweeted
I'm excited that the Employee Ownership Trust tax exemption is being made permanent.
We should make it easy for companies to transfer to an employee ownership as a way to help their founders retire.

"'We’ll help make you owners' is a hell of a rallying cry.
With Canada’s sovereignty at stake, we must invest in every approach to keeping Canadian businesses in Canadian hands...Employee ownership was a great idea in 2024. It has become an essential idea for Canada in 2025."
👍
Employee Ownership can be an important tool in the fight for Canadian sovereignty. Current policy isn't up to the task. @mike_ras and my view in today's @calgaryherald. It's time to move this issue into the front and centre of the Canadian economic agenda.

"A few hundred workers at a company in Vermont are about to share in about $1B...They didn't win some big State lottery with a shared lucky ticket. This is the magic of employee ownership at work. Here's their story."

no matter what we're going to have a DEI super-bowl winning quarterback (or do we only talk this way now about other professions?)

Is Canada measuring wealth accurately? "My report says... the top 0.1% own approximately 12% of all Canadian wealth versus what Statistics Canada's official data says, which would say about 3 to 4%," @DSkilleter (@SocialCP) tells @spaikin. At 8/11pm | Producer: @PreetiBhuyan

New Free Lunch: @DSkilleter explains why Statistics Canada is dramatically underestimating wealth inequality in Canada (and how to fix how we measure it).

Not that this metric is the end all and be all, BUT... @acoyne's chart measures 'after tax income' which excludes what these 1%ers made that year through capital gains.
When you include capital gains into the picture, 2021 had the 1% surge back to almost a 40 year high.

Positive moves on competition policy, open banking and employee ownership in the FES this year. Three policies with the potential to shift the structure of the Canadian economy going forward.

Welcome news indeed.
@cafreeland's Fall Economic Statement marks a watershed moment for employee ownership in Canada.
Starting in Jan 2024, a new made-in-Canada Employee Ownership Trust will help workers across the country build wealth and keep jobs in local communities.

@CanadaEO - thank you for your advocacy and working with MPs to move this forward. CEOTrusts are an excellent vehicle for succession planning, and yes creating wealth and jobs in our communities. – at Ottawa, Ontario
