Harper Oil Spill
On Thursday, June 17, with the G8/G20 summits just around the corner, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper led a procession of wealthy bankers through the streets of Toronto.
Harper and his bankers were followed by a human oil slick. Overworked tax-payers scrambled behind the oil slick with mops and brooms to clean up the mess while Harper and his bankers counted their giant $1billion bills.
The action, which was organized by the At the Table Coalition, was a tongue-in-cheek commentary on spending for the G8 and G20 summits when foreign aid has been frozen and Canada’s fair share on climate adaptation has yet to be paid.

The text on the billion dollar bills read: "the winters of my childhood were long, long seasons. Now they're almost gone and I miss the outdoor rinks."
Harper and his bankers were followed closely by a human oil spill.
