Climate Action Network Canada has created a Fossil Fuel Subsidies Counter that shows the amount of money per second in tax breaks going to some of the wealthiest companies on the planet. Please post the Counter far and wide and link it back to their Subsidies page on the Climate Action Network Canada website:

And instructions for posting it on websites:

An open letter to Prime Minister Harper and Finance Minister Flaherty:
Already, 90+ Canadian civil society organizations have signed-on demanding that the Government honour it’s G20 commitment to phase out fossil fuel subsidies.

Please circulate this action alert to your members and lists. Feel free to alter it so that it comes from you, but make sure that any responses are sent back to Climate Action Network Canada.
Let's kick-start 2011 by getting the government to end tax breaks to dirty fuels!
Thanks for your support!
