Here is a video I stumbled on the other day. It's looking like a rally cry for the left to anchor themselves too, and that's fine with me, it is a alarming situation. But there's other information this graphic is saying.......

And that 's what I'd like to discuss.

Are we a consummation population that is simply not producing anything but enjoying life to the fullest and consuming what these 86 richest family are selling?

A other thing I'd like to discuss is.

How do you redistribute the wealth to someone that's not producing anything? Wouldn't that only depreciate the value of our currency and end up hurting us all?


Maybe we all need to rediscover the little hard working farmer in us and start producing something again before its to late?

Canadian want wealth but don't want the hard work involved in production....

You're thought?

Hi, I'm Ed Broadbent. He always made me laugh, especially the way he was characterized on "Air Farce".

In a recent report, economists at TD Bank laid out “The Case for Leaning Against Income Inequality,” pointing out the dangers of the widening divide, and giving some strong suggestions on how to turn the tide.


The TD report recommends a variety of key public investments to reduce inequality, including affordable housing, health and social services, early childhood development and decreasing barriers to all levels of higher education, from skills training to professional colleges.


These are encouraging comments, as they also address key social determinants of health, meaning they are not only good for the economy, but more importantly, good for Canadians.
