Amd this is why there are no mid-sized family businesses remaining in Canada, except for the occasional farm. Billionaire oligopolies are all that remain as only they are sustainable in the tax farm once known as the great white north.

Billionaire oligopolies are everywhere, this isn't a uniquely Canadian problem. TFA points out we live in an era of Gilded Age inequality.

I come from a province that is wholly owned by a billionaire family. They own all industry, all media, and basically every (barely) living wage job outside the government. Look up the Irving family.

Billionaires may not be a uniquely Canadian problem, but the lack of a wealthy middle of entrepreneurs and reasonably wealthy individuals is uniquely Canadian.

Canadians cheer at taxing the rich and as a result end up with a “middle-class” that is barely getting by, a billionaire class that rules the Kingdom, and nothing in between.

Canada is designed to support Oligopolies. It does so in the media, food distribution, telecom, insurance, banking and virtually every industry in the country. This is an intentional policy decision of punishing entrepreneurs and pushing us out of the country. Look at the recent wealth taxes and the national response to them as an example.
