  1. Well duh.. instead of the federal gov putting a moratorium on commercial & personal rents when it was clear that this pandemic was going to require public compliance to keep it contained- they chose business over human life/ struggle. NICE… what an evolved, intelligent society we live in. LOL

    1. @Dennis Docherty and what type threat? Is the threat internal, external or systemic? It’s easy to throw around vague, meaninglessness words that could mean a multitude of scenarios. I can google a word for that & it’s called Obfuscation.

    1. You understand that the CEBA is only available to small businesses, right? And that they’re loans, not handouts?

  2. If we don’t exercise democracy now it will be out of our reach by the time King Chuckles waltzes into totalitarian power. Democracy or aristocracy… decide Canada

    1. @Mitch Holder No, it was tromped on and silenced but the passion for a Crown free Canada will never stop, and if it comes to civil war… bring it on!

  3. The majority of “real” small business owners, even with all the legitimated documentation were not approved for the business loans, including myself, can’t wait for the government to ask me for tax money!
