Yes, I agree. I think all government policies have a wide range of effects on many sectors. Cutting taxes only for major companies and corporations has the effect of assisting those economic sectors turning the highest profits. As you said, the main beneficiaries are the oil and gas industry, particularly in Alberta, and a few financial industries. This is not helping the manufacturing sector in any way whatsoever; it is losing money. Each policy represents a choice; there are always winners and losers, and the government's priorities are rather clear.
