The Twelve Days of Cuts

Today marks one year since the Harper government launched an all-out attack on public services. And yet, it seems like the general public isn’t fully aware of the true impact of these cuts. Some of these cuts are downright ridiculous – especially when you look at the government’s other priorities: pandas, shameless self-promotion, war of 1812 phone apps, etc….

So let’s put it out there. Let’s show how these cuts have impacted Canadians.

Over the next twelve days, we’ll be releasing an image each day on Facebook and Twitter. We’re counting on you to share these with your friends – and encourage them to do the same!

For those of you who aren’t on these social media platforms, you can still check back here each day to see what image we’re sharing!

Day 1 – If only Harper loved our national parks and historic sites as much as he lurrrrves PANDAS!

Day 2 – Fiscal conservative? The money spent on the war of 1812 could have supported over 800 local archives for the next 16 years.

Day 3 – Harper and Stats? LOL!

Day 4 – Harper and First Nations…err… Be right back!

Day 5 – Watch out for that wave, dude!

Day 6 – Arts only matter when they’re linked to a tax cut (or your approval rating!)

Day 7 – Uh oh! It’s a fire!

Day 8 – OMG! Like, Harper totally loves giving things a MAKEOVER!!!

Day 9 – You say Parks Canada, I say SPA CANADA!

Day 10 – I put the ‘reduction’ in poverty reduction!

Day 11 – I just LOVE ribbon-cuttings!

Day 12 – Let’s party like it’s 1984!
