Since most of the big corporations in Canada are based around energy production, I don't think your theory holds all that true.

For car manufacturers as an example maybe, but I'm not sure that it works on big ticket items.

I think there does have to be a balance on both, but if you can make it a friendly enough business environment to encourage organizations to expand their operations here or encourage international organzation to come here, there is a pretty good flow down in terms of employment and a stable business environment.

Just because you put a few extra bucks in a persons pocket doesn't mean that they're going to necessarily spend the money or spend it where you want to.
