Oxfam Inequality Report 2026: Resisting the Rule of the Rich and Protecting Freedom from Billionaire Power

Senior Director of Strategy & Innovation and National Director of Campaign 2000, Leila Sarangi, joined Lauren Ravon, Executive Director of Oxfam Canada, on the latest episode to discuss Oxfam’s 2026 Inequality Report and what rising billionaire power means for democracy and poverty in Canada.

As Leila shared in the conversation, Canada has seen the largest historic increases in poverty since the pandemic, even as billionaire wealth continues to grow. Millions of children are living in food-insecure households, and families are making impossible choices just to survive.

This episode is a powerful reminder that inequality is not inevitable, it is shaped by policy decisions.

Family Service Toronto and Campaign 2000 joined child care advocates, parents, educators, and community leaders from across Canada today at the Oxfam Early Learning & Child Care Summit. A gathering focused on building an inclusive, equitable, and feminist child care system.

Over two days, participants will learn, connect, and take action to advance $10-a-day child care for all, while centering the voices of Black, racialized, immigrant and refugee families, gender-diverse parents, parents with disabilities, and families who have been historically excluded from Canada’s child care systems.

Held during the Canada-wide Days of Action for Early Learning and Child Care, this summit is both a celebration of progress and a call to action. A stronger, more equitable child care system is possible, and it starts with collective advocacy.

Family Service Toronto (FST) is participating in this week’s (Nov. 4-6) Second World Summit on Social Development (WSSD2) in Doha, Quatar, where governments and advocates are uniting to renew commitments to equity, inclusion, and social justice.

FST was selected by the federal Minister of Families and Jobs to represent Canada at the Summit through Leila Sarangi, Senior Director of Strategy & Innovation at FST and National Director of Campaign 2000. This builds on FST’s leadership advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ongoing advocacy for poverty eradication in Canada.

In July, Leila also joined the Canadian delegation at the United Nations High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) in New York, advocating for stronger progress toward the SDGs, particularly SDG 1: No Poverty and SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities.

These global conversations echo the same priorities raised during A Future Without Poverty: National Dialogue 2025, where Campaign 2000 and 45 partner organizations launched a national call to action to end poverty and inequality in Canada.
