Canada’s Big Banks had record profits every year, year after year, for the past 10 years.
They can afford to do more than the very few things they have done to give only some people a break on their mortgage and credit card payments. They can afford to pay their fair share of taxes.
As one borrower put it in this CBC.ca article about this campaign:
the little bit the Big Banks have done so far “feels greedy”.
The Big Banks and their multi-millionaire executives are a powerful lobby group – that’s why they have been able to keep their tax evasion loopholes open for the past 30 years.
However, as CTV said in this article about this campaign:
the pressure is growing on the federal government to Make the Big Banks help more.
But the federal government and parties need to be pushed more – they haven’t done anything yet to require the banks to give everyone who needs it a real break, and have done nothing to ensure the banks pay their fair share of taxes.
Please help the petition increase to more than 50,000 signers by signing and sharing the petition now!

All together we can make a difference.
Thank you again, and take care and stay at home if you can, and if you have to go out please stay safe through physical distancing wherever you go,
Duff, Brad, Josephine
