The finance ministers of Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal & Austria are pushing for windfall taxes on the war profits of oil & gas companies. Why not Canada?

The world’s top 100 oil & gas companies banked more than $30 million an hour in unearned profit in the first month of the US-Israeli war on Iran.

With oil at $100/barrel, they stand to make an additional $234 billion in excess profits by the end of the year:

Reminder: a solid majority of Canadians have supported windfall profit taxes on oil and gas companies’ historically high profits for years now.

Government survives with votes of Lowry's lackeys but majority is reduced.

The power of the people is greater than the people in power.

We need a new phase of militant mass protest involving trade unions and communities to demand action on cost of living and a general election.
