This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 34%. (I'm a bot)
> News Canada's billionaire class sees its pile of money grow even bigger.
> Canada's billionaires now control more wealth than the economies of four Canadian provinces and three territories combined.
> According to an annual "Billionaires insights" report from Swiss wealth management firm UBS, Canada's 45 billionaires saw their wealth rise to $153.1 billion in 2018 - that's up 3% from 148.5 billion in 2017.
> To put those numbers into context, figures from Statistics Canada show Canada's 45 billionaires have a pile of wealth that's bigger than the GDP of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador combined.
> Although the raw number of Canadian billionaires dropped from 46 to 45 in 2018 due to the passing of mining baron Peter Munk, Canada's billionaire class nonetheless saw its collective wealth increase by $4.6 billion.
> Although Canadian billionaires saw their collective wealth rise 3% between 2017 and 2018, Canadian workers saw their collective wages rise only 1.9%, although a closer look at those numbers suggest regional factors are at play - Calgary and Edmonton saw wages increased between 0.6% and o.7% during the same period.
