Pink Tax Podcast

We review a few relief options that we've heard about, we've noticed some gaps.  Stay safe, wash your hands, and engage with your local, provincial, and federal government. Speak up for others in your community that have been left out of the relief policies. 

This week we interview Michelle Robinson of the Native Calgarian Podcast. We were honored to have her as a guest to discuss indigenous polices and share her story.

We dove into how COVID-19 is affecting indigenous people, where Canada's systemic racism come from as well as resources you can leverage to educate yourself and steps you can take to practice cultural safety.

We've seen significant turbulence in the last week in the markets and most of us have had to make changes to our day to day life and could be now facing concerns over how we pay our bills.  We chat about how this could affect your own finances, what we've been doing, and how we could have set up our society to be more resilient to these kinds of shocks.  We record about a week before posting, so some of the information is behind in terms of closures and travel. This is a great primer for our conversation with Michelle from the Native Calgarian podcast next week. We're all in this together and there's no better time than a pandemic to check your privilege. 

Which do you prefer? Taxes or Pitchforks? This week we're talking about how the millionaires and billionaires are scared that we are all going to come after them unless the globe handles the massive amounts of money that are hidden in off shore bank accounts. 

We switch gears half way through and discuss just how long women have been able to manage their own finances. Did you know we couldn't open a bank account on our own until 1964! Insane! 

Tune into to learn about just how far we've come and how much farther we really need to go!
