We know tax dollars are spent on weather modification and planes are used for spreading chemicals, prove me wrong.

Growing?

Have you studied any history at all? Even within your own lifetime?

By all measures, all of the ism's you listed are shrinking.

The only place they are growing is in the overactive imaginations of the media and the politicians.

Wrong again A5!

Income inequality is growing according to Statistics Canada.

Income inequality in Canada rises to the highest level ever recorded: Statistics Canada

Widening income gap driven by investment returns for top 20 per cent of Canadian earners

October 10, 2024

Income inequality in Canada has hit the highest level ever recorded as wealth becomes increasingly concentrated in fewer hands, says Canada's statistics agency.

The gap in the share of disposable income between the richest two-fifths of Canadians and the bottom two-fifths grew to 47 percentage points in the second quarter of 2024, Statistics Canada reported Thursday.

That's the widest gap recorded since 1999, when Statistics Canada first started collecting such data.

The gap was driven by the top 20 per cent of income earners, who saw the largest increase in their share of disposable income, the report said. That increase was driven largely by investment gains, which the statistics agency attributed to high interest rates.

• Lower income households are more likely to have a limited capacity to take advantage of these higher returns, as on average they have fewer resources available for saving and investment."

While those in the lowest 20 per cent saw a slight rise in their share of disposable income due to wage increases, the middle 60 per cent of Canadians saw a decrease in their share.

The Statistics Canada report said that in the second quarter, the top 20 per cent of Canadians held more than two-thirds of the country's wealth, averaging $3.4 million per household. By comparison, the bottom 40 per cent of Canadians accounted for only 2.8 per cent of Canada's wealth.

That's no coincidence, no doubt Monette has a direct line to Scotty Moe!

Eventually the only farms left will be the Monette's and the other wanna be Monettes.

All subsidized by taxpayers and easy access to FCC loans from a crown corporation which favours larger farms over small farms.

Explain "favours", then an example.

[chuckChuck]

Ask any small farmers about FCC and they will tell you how hard it is to get a loan!

[rumrocks]

From my experience with loans I've found FCC to be easier to deal with than banks and had lower rates.

Chuck, you have your isms mixed up. All the isms you listed, racism, sexism, misogynism etc are improving everywhere except the media.
The growing economic inequality you correctly point out is the inevitable result of a completely different ism. The growing socialism.
Happens every single time it has been tried.

Well maybe we all could see eye to eye a bit more if you were not such a d##k to all the other family farmers on here 99% of the time and drop the social justice warrior b/s
