You mean between tax ha...Anon : You're welcome!<br />You mean between tax havens and outsourcing in Canada? I'm not knowledgeable enough to make that argument. I thought the doc made it rather well though : <br />Multinational accounting firms advise foreign governments how to establish tax-free zones for multinational outsourcing corps; then they advise those same outsourcing corps how to hide their profits and thus their taxes from the corps' governments back home. Meanwhile they're also helping to write so-called free trade deals that hardwire these outsourcing/tax haven relationships in international law, including the accompanying outsourcing intra-company transfers, as Jason Kenney mentions <a href="http://creekside1.blogspot.ca/2013/05/the-invisible-hand-of-market-outsourcing.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />What was new to me in the doc was that the big multi-nationals' share prices are massively inflated by the profits stashed in tax havens, and if that money were ever to be taxed in their home countries, those shares prices would suffer a huge loss.
