    Petition to Taylor's University

    Reduction of Resource Fee

    As of today, the duration of the lockdown, as well as how the recovery will take place is still unknown.  Taylor's University is filled with students from different countries and backgrounds. Several countries are in lockdown mode for an indefinite period of time. People are working from home, or simply not working. We are facing travel bans, event cancellations and prohibitions on so many activities. All sectors are highly affected. Discretionary spending by consumers has collapsed. The substantial drop in travel has affected many countries and the fuctioning of global supply chains has been disrupted by the current crisis.  We would like to ask for a reduction in school fees for it would be a great help to us during the pandemic. So many of us are walking on a tightrope because our sources of income rely heavily on the activities that can't run due to the virus outbreak. Some families are even struggling to afford basic living expenses.  Another reason why we think that we deserve a reduction in school fees also includes the fact that we are only relying on e-Learning right now. E-Learning feels very different from regular face-to-face classes. There are students who can't fully experience the subject/s they are taking because they need special equipment/tools that aren't commonly found at home. I'm talking about the students in need of a fully-equipped kitchen or those in need of good-quality audio devices. No matter how advanced our online learning system is, it will never be able to compete with real-life learning experience.

    Petition to Justin Trudeau

    Implement Wealth Taxes in Canada

    English | French Join us in calling on the federal government to implement wealth and inheritance taxes in the 2020 budget.  Would you believe that Canada is home to the 5th most ultra high net wealth individuals on the planet[1]? That’s right, in Canada the 87 wealthiest families together own $259 billion[2]. The wealthiest 10% of Canadians hold more than half of all wealth in the country[3], while those in the bottom half own less than 5%[4]. And only a fraction of the wealth gets taxed, allowing the wealthy to keep on accumulating.  This concentration of wealth supports the most affluent families to own multiple properties[5], take luxurious vacations[6], and attend taxpayer-subsidized private schools[7] -- while many Canadians take on more and more debt[8] and struggle to make ends meet[9]. We have the wealth we need to address the climate crisis, end homelessness, and other critical programs and services: but it’s in the wrong pockets. That is why we are calling on the federal government to implement a wealth tax and an inheritance tax in the 2020 budget.  Canada is the only G7 nation without an inheritance tax. The U.S., Japan, Spain and many other countries all have one[10]. Experts say inheritance taxes are a “key mechanism” for making things more fair and promoting wealth distribution[11].  We need a wealth tax, too. Even a modest wealth tax, hitting only the richest Canadians, would raise over $9 billion per year[12] to pay for the vital programs and services we need. Polls show that most Canadians -- across party lines -- support such a tax[13].  We’re calling for a wealth tax that hits only the top 10% of Canadians, increasing to a marginal rate of 10% on each dollar of wealth of over $20 million.  To complement this, we’re calling for an inheritance tax that also hits the top 10% of estates, increasing to a marginal rate of 55% on estates over $7.5 million.  The 2020 budget will be published in the next few weeks. Sign the petition now to tell Prime Minister Trudeau the time is now to implement wealth taxes!  We can’t wait any longer for tax fairness in Canada.
