Canadian

Wearing his favourite colourful toque and grey plaid pyjamas, my good-humoured neighbour with the
handlebar moustache apologized for the kerfuffle in the parkade, shovelled a metre of snow off the
centre of the curb with marvellous vigour, and travelled a kilometre on a Zamboni to cash a cheque

The reality is worse than what we think it is.

For thirteen years we have been reading your comments and requests for an update. (And we’ve been making notes of our own, well beyond the original video.) So, with this update we’ve added dollar amounts to the charts, taken our visualization of the extremes to the next level, and even provided some thoughts on how we get out of this mess.

And you aren't going to have to wait thirteen more years for the next video. Every week in September, we are dropping a new one. After this update on wealth inequality, there’s three more…
