COMING WINTER 2026: Cancelling Billionaires Before They Cancel Us: The Urgent Case for a Wealth Tax by Linda McQuaig and Neil Brooks

“A must read. This is a very important book explaining why it is so urgent to confront the extreme concentration of wealth and power — and why global mobilization is building.”
— Thomas Piketty, bestselling author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century

As the ultra-wealthy siphon off an ever-larger share of the world’s wealth, they now dominate us to a degree unimaginable even a decade ago. With their voracious consumption, unbridled resource exploitation, and relentless obstruction of climate action, they are rapidly undermining democracy and destroying the very viability of the earth for human life.

Their staggering power and hoarding of wealth have prompted a number of G20 nations to consider imposing a wealth tax, aimed exclusively at the super-rich. In Canada, such a tax would apply only to those with wealth above $25 million. Yet it could collect $40 billion a year — funding public programs that could immensely improve the lives of millions of Canadians while clipping the wings of the super-rich.

NEW RELEASE: Keep in Touch: The Serendipitous Life of Canadian Arts Icon David Silcox

“An affectionate portrait of a man who — through enthusiasm, charm and an unparalleled network — had an extraordinary impact on Canada’s cultural evolution.”
— Charlotte Gray, author of The Massey Murder

This first-ever biography of David Silcox showcases a champion of Canadian art through his life and efforts to elevate artists from home around the world.

Son of a Prairie Dust Bowl preacher, David Silcox rose through the ranks of the Canadian cultural establishment to promote Canadian artists internationally.

From his early days as the first Arts Officer of the Canada Council in the mid-1960s, to his position as Deputy Minister of Culture for the province of Ontario in the late 1980s, to his command of Sotheby’s Canada in the last decade of the century, David Silcox supported the successes of visual artists such as Tom Thomson, Christopher Pratt, Harold Town, and David Milne. With the eye of a practised treasure seeker, he was responsible for the return of a number of Canadian art gems by artists such as Paul Kane and Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven back to native soil.

NEW RELEASE: Pursuing a Public Life: How to Succeed in the Political Arena by Hon. Sergio Marchi with a foreword by Bob Rae

“At a time of growing cynicism about government and public service, Sergio Marchi offers a tour de force on why young people in Canada and elsewhere should aspire to serve the public good. Drawing on his rich and unique life experience inside the public sector and beyond, this book is a must read for young adults who are potentially interested in government service, and for anyone who cares about the future of Canada and democratic society.”
— Gregory T. Chin, professor of political science, York University

“Sergio Marchi has been a long-time mentor. His political experience has been a tremendous guide to me. This book — part memoir, part life lessons — will benefit many who are considering public service through politics. Pursuing a Public Life is a practical guide to politics distilled from Marchi’s experiences, which have helped Canada become an even better country.”
— Yasir Naqvi, Liberal MP and former attorney general for Ontario

The Honourable Sergio Marchi — city councillor, member of Parliament, cabinet minister, and ambassador — relates his experiences over his thirty-year political career. He shares the adventures, policy decisions, and lessons learned in an effort to shed light on the inner workings of a public life, from nomination meetings, to campaigning, to governing, to make it easier for those interested in making a difference to take the plunge into an exciting, meaningful, and purposeful profession.
