Jeers: to the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. A recent study from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives has determined that by the time you got back into the swing of things at work on Jan. 2, the average Canadian CEO will already have made more money this year than you will earn in the next 12 months. According to the report, the top 100 execs in the country raked in more than $10 million apiece in 2007, which is the last full year for which data was available. It seems the economic meltdown only affects those whose pockets aren't lined with gold.
The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
