Topshee Memorial Webinar Series
Fair Taxes, Affordable Futures
Town Hall on building an economy for everyone
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.
Join us with the Canadians for Tax Fairness at a unique town hall Webinar hosted by the Nova Scotia Federation of Labour and the Coady Institute.
Join well-known Economist Lars Osberg from Dalhousie University and Katrina Miller, the Executive Director of Canadians for Tax Fairness, discussing fixing our tax system and where those tax dollars must go to help our communities most.
