Where’s the money that Katherine mckenna lost?
Rotten to the CORE.
Is a great Overkill song! 👍👍
@1madmaxx80 Lol.
I think the govt. should define what they mean by compassionate.
It means they will use a smaller stick to beat you with.
Lost 4.6 B $$ thats Criminal
blame the government
Turdeau is a failure on every issue
I spent it for alcohol and riot gears
Corrupt beyond comprehension.
Go after the businesses that didn’t need it and took it. They’ve walked away scot-free so far.
Or the students who were living at home rent/expense free. I personally know of at least 10 such cases.
@1madmaxx80 if you made over 5 thousand that year you were eligible so why go after students? They are our future
Pby lots of companies that did not need the CEWS nevertheless qualified for it due to very shoddy rules. They did NOT CHEAT to get it. Revenue drop needed not to be due to covid, could be any other external factors.
When can all canadains start talking about holding the liberals accountable for their wasteful spending and sending billions of dollars overseas while canadains are suffering.
That’s odd. Both my wife and I followed all the rules, were eligible for cerb and needed it. Then shock, both had to pay it back. So to say all of the individuals and companies that weren’t eligible won’t have to pay it back is absolutely insane.
You’re assuming those deemed “ineligible” actually are.
@Incorruptible Seed no, I’m saying the ones that actually were ineligible.
@John Rogers if you were asked to pay it back then you’re ineligible.
No fking kidding.
I know folks with cars worth more than my house got cheques. And still collect GST and baby cheques. Write off their foreign vacations as business write off.
The whole corrupt tax system has to change. What I see is sickening ashalf of Canada can’t afford proper food anymore.
How much went into Trudeaus offshore accounts?
How much went to his family like the WE scandal?
I’m no longer waiting for the grant loan because I earn $29,700 every 10 days recently
My previous profit withdrawal investing with Luis Edison was over $400,560 and it’s still counting high.
@Led Zeppelin I started with 1 BTC, today I have made over 5 BTC as profits.
Mr Luis Edison has brought me out of the wrenches and a better living through trading options, I encourage newbies to trade with him.
I countlessly share my experience with co-workers at work, on how I made $10,000 from $2,000 in 7 days of trading.
I’m glad stumbled on this opportunity today
Im on disability and didnt see any of this, im lucky to get a call in to the food bank.
I’m never surprised by this reckless government anymore
