During Open Streets in Hamilton a few inspired Conservatives asked people to complement $1.4 billion in oil subsidies to the oil industry with money from their own pocket. This seems appropriate since they were paying about $40 each per year in tax dollars anyway. Why not match this generous conservative contribution? Sadly, most Hamiltonians weren’t happy with giving handouts to the wealthiest industry on the planet.

When most Hamiltonians declined to support us with money we asked them if they would write a ‘thank you’ note to Stephen Harper. That didn’t go as planned either.
