You were taxed, and nobody told you!
Businesses in Kensington Market and the downtown core suffered significant losses as a result of reduced sales traffic not only during the weekend of the G20 Summit, but also in the week leading up to the event.
www.g20tax.ca is a web site that is helping to measure the ACTUAL cost of hosting the summit on downtown Toronto, and also serves as a petition to be presented to the federal government to take responsibility for the financial havoc they have placed on small businesses in our city.
If you own a business that suffered revenue losses during the G20, sign up now and be counted! If you support businesses in Kensington Market and the downtown area, have your voice heard as well! Visit www.g20tax.ca for the sign-up forms and more information.
