Oxfam Canada held coast-to-coast demos today in support of the Robin Hood Tax.

The proposed Robin Hood Tax would tax "all transactions between institutions involving stocks, bonds, foreign exchange and derivatives (including trade of futures and options related to stocks, interest rate securities, currencies, and commodities)."

In Halifax, today's demonstration was held in front of the Bank of Montreal on the corner of George Street and Hollis Street. "Stephen Harper", supported by "Bank CEOs" holding signs that read "Where's my Bonus?" and "Profits before People!" argued against Robyn Hood and her "Merry Band of Activists".

While Robyn argued for a "tax on the rapacious earnings of the lordly bankers", her Merry Band held up signs reading "Banks must pay their share" and "Robin Hood Supports Women".

In a tug-of-war between the "merry band" and the "bank CEOs", the merry band won, and "Harper" was forced to concede that a 0.05% tax on these type of banking institutions would not be a bad thing.
