Topshee Memorial Webinar Series

Fair Taxes, Affordable Futures

Webinar Recording

We are all facing a cost-of-living crisis. Meanwhile, the largest corporations and richest among us have grown their wealth to unprecedented levels, all while paying lower taxes than most workers. We can choose a different path, a path that ensures everyone pays their fair share to build good, strong communities where we can all afford to work, live, and raise a family.

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
