If you're ever looking for more data on the state of Canadian wealth and ultra-wealthy people, I'd recommend The Age of Increasing Inequality - it's a pretty quick read and is super well-researched.

Hi reddit – My name is Lars Osberg, I'm an economist at Dalhousie University and my new book The Age of Increasing Inequality: The Astonishing Rise of Canada's 1% is on sale now. You can find the book here:
Canada's national wealth has increased by 50% over the past 20 years but nearly all of that new income has gone to the top 1% of earners. I've been studying the causes, consequences and solutions of income inequality all my career, and now I want to answer your questions about how it affects Canadians. I'll be live answering questions from 1:00 - 3:00 ET today. Ask me anything!
