Taxes connect us to one another, to the common good, and to the future. This is a book about taxes: who pays what and who gets what. More than that, it’s about the role of government, about citizenship and our collective well-being, about the Canada we want. The contributors, leading Canadian practitioners and scholars, explore how taxes have become a political “no-go zone” and how changes in taxation are changing Canada. They challenge the view that any tax is a bad tax and provide broad directions for fairer and smarter approaches.

Lucas and Luna sit at a writer's desk, a vintage typewriter between them, and argue about the first line of a sales letter. They don't debate 'write better' platitudes. They pull up real campaigns: the 1985 Boardroom bulletins that ran for a decade, the long-form VSL that sold a $2,000 course with a 42% conversion rate, the direct-mail package that lifted response 18% by changing one headline word. Lucas, in his tweed blazer, traces the rhythm of a sentence aloud; Luna, in her burgundy cardigan, crosses out every adjective that doesn't carry weight. Together, they show you what separates a ...

In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable. Campaigns will be lost. Mental health crises will occur. Social ills, like gender-based violence, will manifest themselves in movement spaces. People will experience profound personal losses. Grief, alienation, and despair can grind us under.

Read This When Things Fall Apart is a care package for activists and organizers building power under fascistic, demoralizing conditions.

In 1925, the greatest muckraking journalist and advocate for the working man, Upton Sinclair, believed that the cause in which he believed needed to be clearly and concisely explained - in plain English - for the benefit of the American worker. He contended that the elected government was run by the financial supporters of the political parties; that big business, with the support of the courts and legislatures and media at all levels, was exploiting and mistreating workers, and focusing their efforts every day to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Lucas and Luna sit down to dissect the mechanics of a resume that gets past the ATS and into human hands. In each episode, they take one real (anonymized) resume and walk through every line, every bullet, every verb choice — explaining why a hiring manager might stop reading or why a recruiter's eye pauses. Lucas, a former hiring manager turned career coach, uses his red marker to show what weak action verbs look like on the page; Luna, a professional writer, pushes back on vague phrases and asks the questions a candidate would never dare to ask. Together, they cover cover-letter logic (when...
