Join CCPA-NS, Equity Watch, King’s Bookstore and Social Justice and Communities Studies at SMU on June 23rd to hear Linda McQuaig and Neil Brooks speak on their book, “Cancelling Billionaires Before They Cancel Us: The Urgent Case for a Wealth Tax.”
Despite the largest rich-poor gap in history, the ultra-wealthy are using their power to further enrich themselves in ways that impoverish the rest and destroy the planet. The good news is that almost 90 percent of Canadians support a wealth tax, and there are signs of a rising backlash – in the U.S. and elsewhere – against the devastating dominance of the billionaire class.
Linda McQuaig is the recipient of a National Newspaper Award for investigative reporting and a Toronto Star columnist. She is also the author of eight national bestsellers, including Shooting the Hippo, selected by the Literary Review of Canada as one of the twenty-five most influential books of the past twenty-five years.
Neil Brooks is a leading tax scholar and former director of the graduate program in taxation at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto.
Books will be sold on site by King's Co-op Bookstore
