https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics…
"Federal government will waive 1-week wait for employment insurance, fund research"
Bearded Trudeau for the win!
- $1B !!!!! Holy shit!Bennn
- This is too much. Where's the money for the flu??yuekit
- surely it should be $999million Bennn!?fadein11
- A lot of money wasting on useless stuff incoming. I hope all this budget will be tightly managedBennn
- @bennn, I like you a lot, you are a nice guy but you said you had watched that Jo Rogan episode? that's the 3rd expert I have seen talk at length that noone isfadein11
- A lot of people don't understand maths. $1b ÷ 7342 = only $136202.67shapesalad
- exaggerating the seriousness of this. It's pretty terrifying.fadein11
- @fadein No iam Ok with the amount of money, its a lot, the COVID-19 is serious, i just hope the money will be well managedBennn
- i work in a Gov institution, i know how Gov money can be wasted easily...Bennn
- oh yes Bennn, us Brits are v.aware of that also.fadein11
- $1bil with government workers involved is nothing! IE: 20% of that goes directly to pay their pension funds... if not more.zarkonite
- Lol do you think emergency covid funding will be earmarked for pensions?********
- they are probably talking bailing out corporations and industries.uan
- nb all government workers pays include pension benefits. If they're working under that budget, whatever is spend on "salaries" goes to pensions as well.zarkonite
- it's one of the many many problems with letting government run shit. You end up with dishwashers in hospitals with huge benefits and it costs too much.zarkonite
- Who would you prefer addresses the Coronavirus, then, if not the govt? Costco? TD Bank? Canadian Tire?********
- Supervision = Government.
Planning = Expert panel.
Execution = Private contractors.zarkonite
