No we cant afford the CERB....
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's budget deficit is on track to hit C$328.5 billion ($245.7 billion) in the 2020/21 fiscal year, including C$226 billion in pandemic relief spending, the country's independent parliamentary budget officer (PBO) said on Tuesday.Sep 29, 2020
Our deficit for 2019 was 14 Billion....And that was already too much.
This is going to have a profound effect on us.
"Umm...maybe read my later comments...it is a false statement to say people can either work or no pay...we already have EI and we did CERB."
I know many people who dont qualify anymore for EI... My neighbor is an example. He can work from home however, his business has dried up. He does drawings for buildings.... He doesnt qualify because he is self employed. My wife lost a lot of money because she got CERB instead of proper EI when she was laid off... It hit us hard financially. Unless you have lived it, dont be so quick to say everything will be ok, we cant afford to shut it down.
