We’ve seen this movie before, and the reviews are still bad: our executive director, Jared A. Walker, and economist, Silas Xuereb, on why war profiteering isn’t worth a rewatch, and why we should probably just walk out of the theatre and demand a refund (aka a windfall profits tax).

It’s bad enough that $90 billion in excess oil profits will go untaxed. But now the government is doubling down with another giveaway to Big Oil—with no guarantee that any savings will be passed on to consumers. Silas answers our most pressing questions, including: WTF?

Our friends at Oxfam Canada took a look at our tax season report and came to the same conclusion as us: we must rethink how wealth is taxed, how corporate profits are treated, and how global tax reforms are enforced. Pronto.

We were pleased to see our recent report on tax havens featured (again) in the glossy pages of The Globe and Mail’s April Report on Business magazine. Skip past the Rolex ads for a slick graphic highlighting the obscene wealth mega-corporations and the ultra-wealthy have stashed in tax havens.

Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) adds to the growing chorus calling for a swift end to the illegal war in Iran, a windfall tax on oil industry war profiteering, and reducing our dependence on oil. Hey, a kid can dream!

Backing up their dream with cold, hard facts, the CCPA dives deeper into the numbers (including ours) on why a windfall tax is a must to curb war profiteering and put profits back into Canadian coffers.

Heather Scoffield of the Canadian Tax Observatory looks at why the letter “K” makes for a very unshapely silhouette when it comes to economic equality in Canada.

Vancouver ‘businessman’ Fred Sharp is an indicted fraudster who has been ordered to pay over $70 million to the U.S. government and $2 million to Quebec for his schemes to manipulate share prices. He's banned from Canada’s stock markets. So why has he never been charged under Canadian law?

The finance ministers of Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Austria made a joint call for an EU-wide windfall tax. The aim? “To send a clear message that those who profit from the consequences of the ​war must do their part to ease the burden on the general public." We'll have what they're having, please!
