Do the Math

Anncr:

St. Mike's college at the University of Toronto has accepted a 150 thousand dollar donation from Imperial Tobacco.

If you do the math, that's about 3 dollars for each of the 45 thousand Canadians tobacco industry products will kill this year.

The money is being used to fund a course in - if you can believe it - business ethics.

And it's from a company that obviously has none.

We're the Campaign to Take Big Tobacco Out of Universities.

We think St. Mike's should return the money.
