Well since we throw people in prison for avoiding taxes, is it really that unreasonable to 'name and shame' corporations that are basically doing the same thing through clever legal wrangling?

People are imprisoned for evading taxes, not for avoiding them. If the law says you don't owe a particular tax because you moved to Canada, why would you pay it?

We throw people in prison for evading taxes. Avoiding taxes is legal.
