"Canada has built an economy where the best way to get rich isn't to invent create or build anything, it's to own houses and wait for prices to rise" "Money from work is taxed higher than money from owning homes" Imagine a housing minister saying this

Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel calls the US, UK and Canada a "Georgist real estate catastrophe". A giant wealth transfer from younger/working class to older/landowners. He supports taxing land (over other things) to fix housing and the economy.

Canada should have a sovereign wealth fund that pays dividends to all and invests for future generations. It's how we leverage our nation's advantages in natural resources, technology, and finance to build common wealth for all Canadians.

Many people wonder why land value tax won't just raise rents. Answer: you can't create or destroy land. That's why economists consider it the 'least bad' (even 'perfect') tax. It could lower income or property taxes and encourage more housing supply.

"My paycheck goes straight to rent -- there's nothing left." How many Canadians see 50-100% of their income get sucked up by land rents and income taxes? We should untax work, and shift taxes to the rental value of land.

The public has funded many technologies that today fuel massive private sector rents (excess profit). Economist Mariana Mazzucato believes we should better share this co-created wealth, through policies like citizen's dividends.

"All the commons, all the royalties from those commons need to go into the [Alaska] Permanent Fund… because it's ours." Canada's vast natural resources should be managed the same way. We should be using it to fund dividends for all Canadians.

"UBI seems to be effective...I don't need it to be perfect, I just need people not to starve." - George Stroumboulopoulos

Greece's former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis says publicly created wealth is being privatized at scale, which could be paying us dividends instead. "We are producing capital collectively but only Google gets the profits."

"Some of these places don't even have closets. Investors aren't very choosy about whether the floorplan works...they just want the best value for their money." Our economy treats housing as investment first, home second. Time to reverse this mindset.
