Carney’s fuel tax pause rewards polluters Carney’s fuel tax pause rewards polluters and will generate more windfall profits for oil companies amidst a rising affordability crisis.

Carney’s fuel tax pause rewards polluters.

Instead of capturing windfall profits for the public good, Ottawa is bankrolling fossil fuel companies and starving services needed during the #climatecrisis.

Nobody can pretend any more that Carney has been anything other than a hard conservative from day one.

Israeli settlers block Palestinian children from school in the West Bank Students, teachers and families stage daily peaceful sit-ins at the site of the fence near Umm al-Khair village.

My latest newsletter: Canada's energy industry is either a hyper-competitive profit machine or a vulnerable protectorate forever at risk of collapse -- and sometimes both at the same time. It's bullshit.

Also: my take on an excess profits tax. #cdnpoli

Musk scorned “shady” loopholes, yet offshore tax tricks likely saved Tesla hundreds of millions When Tesla released its annual report for U.S. regulators in January, the Texas-based automaker, led by the world’s richest man, reported a federal tax bill of zero dollars for 2025.

Brilliant @reuters.com investigation reveals that $18bn of profit-shifting to the Netherlands and Singapore reduced Tesla's tax obligations by c. US$400m. www.reuters.com/legal/transa...

Could Denmark soon reintroduce a wealth tax?🤞 Across the world, governments are stepping up to tackle the rising inequality that’s damaging their countries. Millionaires like us support them - and it should give us all hope.

LNG Canada exceeds estimated 2024 global record for burned gas | The Narwhal LNG Canada in Kitimat, B.C., burned more gas in 2025 than any other liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility on record in 2024

SCOOP: An investigation by The Narwhal and Point Source shows LNG Canada burned 350 million cubic metres of gas in 2025, making it one of the worst polluters for flaring emissions globally and undermining Canada’s environmental claims. @writermjs.bsky.social #lng thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-b...

Canada needs a windfall tax on oil industry war profiteering Skyrocketing oil prices do not create profits out of thin air. They redistribute money away from consumers and businesses and into the pockets of oil companies.

Yes. And quickly!

“It is not radical to ask the super-rich to pay as much tax as everyone else. What is radical is allowing them to keep paying less. The momentum is there—now we need to work together to carry it forward in Barcelona.” — @gabrielzucman.bsky.social

“I have good news: we are making progress to finally make billionaires pay their fair share. This is the defining battle of the 21st century—between democracy and oligarchy—and I’m confident democracy will prevail.” — @gabrielzucman.bsky.social

“Extreme wealth is extreme power—and we cannot accept a world where that power comes without responsibility. That’s why we need a clear principle: extreme wealth must come with unavoidable duties to society, through a minimum tax on the super-rich.” — @gabrielzucman.bsky.social

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social met with the Brazilian and Spanish Ministers of Finance as they step up efforts to tax the super-rich 🇧🇷 🇪🇸

They commit to lead and coordinate an international agenda—and call on others to join.

Proud to see our work helping turn momentum into concrete cooperation.

Mark Carney just cut gas taxes. He should be raising these taxes instead As temporary measures go, a windfall tax is a better idea.

@torontostar-rss.bsky.social asks who should Mark Carney be raising taxes on? Big Oil.

Canada’s oil producers are seeing $90 billion in windfall profit, and these excess earnings should be taxed to prevent profiteering and benefit the Canadian public

Colombia convenes climate ‘coalition of the willing’ to break global fossil fuel deadlock Santa Marta conference born out of frustration at Cop summits, where renewable progress has been stalled by major polluters

Building a coalition of the willing, breaking deadlock, planning the transition without blockers at the table: it hit me that no matter what happens, Santa Marta is already a success. This conversation was unthinkable a few years ago. Overton window? Wide open
