    New Robber Barons: A quarter century of wealth concentration in Canada

    Ahead of BC Budget 2026, the provincial government was already laying the groundwork to defend austerity measures by arguing that there is not enough wealth to redistribute.  Economist Alex Hemingway disagrees. He and fellow economist Silas Xuareb at Canadians for Tax Fairness say that there is wealth in BC and Canada, and claiming otherwise is a way to distract us from the massive concentration of wealth in this country. Alex Hemingway is Senior Economist and Public Finance Policy Analyst with BC Policy Solutions. He joins me today to talk about the report published last week, The New Robber Barons.

    Medea Benjamin of CODEPINK on Cuba and the oil blockade

    For more than six decades, the U.S. has targeted Cuba with economic sanctions, blockades and campaigns to destabilize the Cuban government. Now, Trump’s latest salvo toward Cuba is his January executive order that sanctions any nation that provides oil to Cuba.  The result has led to severe consequences for the Cuban economy and is harshly affecting the daily life of Cuban citizens. Medea Benjamin has just returned from a humanitarian trip to Cuba. Medea Benjamin is a cofounder of both CODEPINK and the international human rights organization, Global Exchange. She joins us on the podcast today.

    BC budget 2026: Hidden austerity, tax increases and service cuts

    British Columbia’s Finance Minister Brenda Bailey said that the budget she brought down on Tuesday wasn’t an austerity budget.  However, key spending areas have been given very small budget increases spread over the three-year fiscal plan, which will mean real cuts to services. In addition, the B.C. government’s tax increases will hit low- to moderate income households. In their analysis released Tuesday, Marc Lee and Andrew Longhurst say the budget lays a financial burden on the poorest in BC. Marc Lee is an economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. He joins me today to talk about this week’s provincial budget.

    No More Loopholes Act goes to critical second reading vote this month

    The No More Loopholes Act, Bill C-233, is a private member’s bill put forward by Vancouver-East MP Jenny Kwan. It puts pressure on the Canadian government to abide by the Arms Trade Treaty it signed in 2019. Currently, arms exported to the US are exempted and have ended up being used by Israel in Gaza, by Saudi Arabia in Yemen and by ICE in Minnesota. The private member’s bill will be voted on in Parliament at Second Reading in late February. We speak with Johanna Lewis of the Arms Embargo Now coalition.
