This "We Are The World"-type classic was created by "People for Corporate Tax Cuts" a group that uses comedy to organize the electorate in Ontario(Canada's most populous province)against the corporate tax giveaways the supposedly "Liberal" provincial government is shoving through-tax cuts that will result in non-wealthy Ontarians paying $500 a year more in THEIR provincial taxes).

We need to be putting things like this together in THIS country.

in ny they are running commercials with a guy behind a desk saying that you have to sacrifice and it shows in the chair two kids. the kids say you need a time out.

2. You would think that all Canadians need to do is to look south
to realize that corporate tax cuts will destroy the country.

3. I think rank-and-file Canadians DO get it.
The problem is with the political class...most of whom, I'm convinced, feel that they can't defy the American corporate megalopoly and survive.

They've let themselves be reduced to subjects of economic colonialism.

4. Show it to Wall Street. They'll think it's true and all head north!
