MEDIA ADVISORY - Mintz to report that Canada's competitiveness is under threat from populist politics

CALGARY, Nov. 25, 2013 /CNW/ - Canada is facing the threat of becoming less competitive to investment because of pressures to increase corporate taxes - this after more than a decade of reductions.  Increasing corporate taxes would have far-reaching effects on the economy, including reduced wage levels and job opportunities. And still, the populist idea that countries can increase taxes on corporations with no negative impact continues to be peddled by populist politicians.

Media are invited to a press conference where Jack Mintz will release his Annual Global Tax Competiveness Ranking, report on the threats Canada is facing and rank Canada's competitiveness in the world.

What:	Media conference with Jack Mintz, Director of The School of Public Policy
When:	Wednesday, November 27, 2013 11 a.m. EST
Where:	Charles-Lynch Room Centre Block, Parliament Hill Ottawa, Ontario
