| - The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is an independent, left leaning policy research institute in Canada concerned with issues of social and economic justice, and one of Canada’s leading progressive voices in public policy debates. It concentrates on economic policy, international trade, environmental justice and social policy. It is especially known for publishing an alternative federal budget on an annual basis. The CCPA claims that its estimates of budgetary surpluses have consistently been more accurate than those of the government. The CCPA has charitable status. The CCPA is based in Ottawa but has branch offices in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Regina, and Halifax. It is funded primarily through individual donations, but also receives research grants, and has institutional support from trade unions. The CCPA has recently launched a new research and public awareness campaign called the Growing Gap. Its research claims to demonstrate the growth of income inequality in Canada and offer solutions. The CCPA was founded in Ottawa in 1980 by a group of largely Carleton University professors who wished to re-create something akin to the League for Social Reconstruction which in the inter-war period had promoted social, economic, and political change for Canada.
