The $221-million program jointly funded by the federal government and eight financial institutions, is the first of its kind to help Black businesses on a national scale. It responds to one of the requests made in June by an open letter from the Parliamentary Black Caucus that was signed by more than 100 MPs and senators.
“An investment in Black excellence is an investment in economic empowerment and economic empowerment is an essential part of justice,” he said. “It's justice against a system that has locked out far too many Black entrepreneurs and denied them the same opportunities as other Canadians.” The federal cash will including $33 million towards the loans, $6.5 million to collect data on the barriers preventing Black Canadians from succeeding in business, and $53 million for Black business organizations to provide mentorship, financial planning and business training.
HXOUSE co-founder Ahmed Ismail said the program is a welcome sign of a government acknowledging systemic racism exists, addressing the fact opportunities are not equally available, and taking “the uncomfortable step of doing something about it.”
With who's money!!
This is terrible it should be equal to all.not fair!
What MOST People FORGET is that this is a CASH INFUSION into the ECONOMY - it is an INVESTMENT, NOT a (Real) LIABILITY!!!
“BROWN SOULS MATTER”
Let me get this straight... My tax dollars are getting poured into a fund that supports entrepreneurs in all of Canada which I cannot access or receive because of the colour of my skin? That's simply systemic racism at it's best on a federal level. This is ridiculous.
As he dresses up in blackface and scoops the money....
F him get him out .... what about Indians
Yeah let's fuck over the people on disability who arent eligible for the CERB or not approved for the disability tax credit...
RACE BAITER! This does not help ease racism in our country. There should be Equal opportunity for ALL!
That would be straight up systemic racism.
If we really want equality would it not be feasible to have a program form all businesses regardless of creed or colour? One society one people humans.
The way this Country is going basically if your white shut up go stand in the corner
TrudeauCorruption
Substitute the word 'white' for black in this headline, and tell me if it sounds racist to you
There’s no end to the spending!
I tan so dark many black people call me melatonin. Can I get some of that money
Trudeau is creating systemic racism
Equal opportunity for all. Not under blackface 's watch!
More racism? More resentment? Division? More China? Vote Trudeau.
Very soon, we can see a new term, 'positive racism.' Only applicable against non-black people.
What a joke there are other entrepreneurs that would like money Why just give it to the Blacks cuz if we don’t they will call us racist and we were slaves Fu-k off and go get a job
Discrimination against every other race
PMJT tells hard working Asian, S/E Asian, and White business people that he will use the taxes that their hard work generated against them to give one race an advantage over them.
I have really gotten dark over the summer
Black face
And what do we get for being white? Shamed
Systemic liberal racism
This is a joke... right?
Two things I cannot stand is racial discrimination and politicians that promote it.
👎👎👎🖕🖕🖕👿👿👿
whatever happened to the help for disabled canadians? havent heard too much about it.
Trudeau is ensuring Canada has systemic racism.
Since parliament has been suspended, how can Trudeau continue to spend money on new programs without debate? Seems a bit autocratic to me
His family benefactors go do in flames but nothing touches the false prince of blackface
Oh Trudolt, you are such a tool Oh Trudolt. Great at spending our taxpayer dollars. Oh Trudolt.
Another day, and another racist policy by the bobblehead in chief..... TrudeauMustGo
Shouldn't it read underprivileged entrepreneurs?
This is just another divisive Trudeau policy - all done to attract black vote. He has to be the dumbest PM in Canada’s history.
here we go again...why not ALL CANADIAN ENTREPRENEURS...why just the blacks? Trudeau is fishing for votes
Do people who self identify as black get it too?
The only people calling Trudeau a racist on this thread are.....
Want proof of the need for this program . . . there are already applicants filling out the paperwork to apply.
Racist!!!! The very definition of racism. Only hypocritical progressives could support this BS
Clearly racism and, since it's gov't policy, systemic racism. So is capitalizing 'black'.
Pure discrimination!
This has nothing to do with taking all the other entrepreneurs out of the running. Big corporations are already doing that. This is about affirming Black existence for once. It is high time the gov stands in solidarity with Black communities to dismantle all forms of oppression.
Racists!
Real racism
the pandering continues with our tax dollars, someone bring down this government.
How many businesses have failed thanks to shutting down the economy scamdemic
Reeks of discrimination, Marxism, and dare I say, racism.
“Trudeau offers entrepreneurial loans to Black Canadians only to further influence societal divide to legitimize the US’ dem and media influenced race war”
Racist
Why only black? This is Canada! 🇨🇦 Not USA! 🙄🤔
People won’t be equal until they are treated as such.
JustinTrudeau is a racist, clearly.
A system that shows preferential treatment to those based on skin colour. Can someone help me out here is their a name for this type of system.? Aren’t these the same people saying that they are fighting against systemic something or other.
Can he ask his mother to pay back the taxpayers money. You know this WE charity thing..
Racism is racism mr.trudeau. what makes 'Black' entrepreneurs more worthy of grants etc. Than indigenous, asian, or other so called people of colour entrepreneurs. This looks like promotion of separating one segment of our very diverse population from the others based on colour
Ah fuck i can’t even
PM Blackface can l please get some money too, l want to open a face painting shop?
What a joke this man is. What makes these persons any better than Canadian entrepreneurs we all are in this country together to make it great. He is just making more division nation wide.
So he puts on his blackface and pertends to be an entrepreneur?
I get what he's trying to do but this is perhaps the most racist thing his government has done.
Shutting down all their non_black competitors is a better way .
Racist 😡
If you are not a POC and see a problem with this, you’re part of the problem.
And we are seeing the LPC dysfunction spiral towards oblivion! Hand onto you wallet Canadians!!
Figures
Now this is racism at its finest!!
What should I do with my Trudeau 💰?
Look at you CTV! Reporting on blatantly racist exclusionary government policies as if it is perfectly normal and not at all unethical to do so.
Pretty bad when you have to take all the other entrepreneurs out of the running , even if others are more deserving. Just to keep the black Canadians happy. It’s like making employers hire a quota of people of colour.
What is the definition of black.? Is it half? is it 3/4? is it 1/4? What if someone just simply identifies as black? Do they still get the money?
rac·ist /ˈrāsəst/  Learn to pronounce noun 1a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races
Anything for a vote
More fucking wasted money! Traitor, cock sucking tampon boy!!!!
Fact check. This is not new. The Feds have been funding initiatives for Black people under Stephen Harper. Jamaican Canadian Society, Black entrepreneurs Network, and the The Ethiopian Club
This is racist!!
Can you imagine the outrage if Trudeau was handing out money exclusively to white Canadian entrepreneurs.
Alternative headline: Trudeau issues government loans to entrepreneurs, discriminates based on race to determine who gets them
And he immediately applies for a loan.
Canada has any money left? I don't think so. What a phony clown.
Oh. Now I get it.
Come on down
This is so stupid, hold the corporate world accountable in practicing equal opportunity. A slap in the face 2 all business owners who are struggling and were forced out of business due 2 public restrictions. Equality this is not , its a human right. Fuck ,does common sense exist?
Sooo if I go blackface can I get a loan?
So if im 'white' 'yellow' or half half im out of luck? What if im 50/50 black/white... Who decides this nonsense? this loser MUST be voted out.
Hogwash
Flood GTA with $ buy votes imo
Such a Racist country that we made and Ran the Underground Railroad for slaves on the run, so racist. It's just a distraction & divide to hide from his crimes. He's on the Epstein flight logs (him and his wife),
Do you keep reposting this to hide the ratios? Do you not want the world to see how against JustinTrudeau ‘s systemic racism Canadians are or something?
So in other words if you’re not “black,” go pound sand.
What in the actual fuck is happening to Canada. First we had the 50/50 cabinet 'because it's 2015', now we are dedicating almost a quarter billion dollars to black business owners 'because it's blm'.
Systemic racism at its finest
Racist policy
Gay.
NAME A LESS RACIST COUNTRY THAN CANADA, GENIUSES
I think y’all don’t realize, to have equality we need to start with equity first. This is that step we need to take. We in fact had 200 of Slavery in Canada. You can’t have a chain-link fence if not everyone can see over the barrier that’s already there.
enough, quit throwing our money around - it doesn't solve all
Trudeau has crippled Canada with crushing debt and he just keeps spending! Wake up Canadians before it’s to late!!!!
Spew your rhetoric, the rest of us non black working business owners who have no “advantage for being white” are left out...pretty racist in my opinion. JustinTrudeau
I'm genuinely curious what these 'extra barriers' are.
Let's solve racism with more racism!
Jus keepthrowing money out there
Isn’t that what the world is trying to prevent. Singling out a race. And this coming from a moron who wore blackface. This is just buying votes and it’s disgusting!
So now if I identify as a black man, I can get the money right.
YourMorning Trudeau would sell his kids to make himself sound good
the people wearing masks look like criminals
He can't even spell tragedy
there is no racism u doosh French gay.
WHITE LIVES MATTER WHITE CANADIAN LIVES MATTER 10 000 MORE.
he can not do this not allowed to change or add anything to government until sep 23 passes careful with this fake shit now and again he is spending tax payers money for stupidity!
I guess black is the flavour of the month for this divisive POS
What a pathetic and racist decision. Fight racism with more racism. Typical progre move... 🤦🏻♂️
A racist program
How about the money you promised the disabled....maybe you should finish paying out what you've promised others before you start promising more.....
I wonder how many people will say they have African heritage to get a cut
Trudeau is an expert on racism, being a racist himself
This truly sounds like a strategy for tackling BLACKFace!!
I can’t stand his face . Everything the idiot son turns to 💩.
Well look at that, the quest to find systemic racism is finally successful. JustinTrudeau just introduced the first federal program that re-introduced systemic racism to Canada. Couldn’t find any before, but we sure can now.
So...when are the special funds for Chinese entrepreneurs? Indians? How about special funds for muslims? Let's have more of this 'progressive' society divided in distinct classes based on skin color and or ethnic origins, what can possibly go wrong?
Just give them money - there I am done
That’s not the way
racist af
When you fill out a form and e mail it in they do not know what colour the client is. No institution is supposed to look at anything but the information. This to me is Racist against all other nationalities including Europeans .
Racism in the Liberal Party will be tough to tackle. Calling every other Canadian racists is not tackling it.
This is pre election vote buying. We are going to have a late Fall election. More money to other groups will be announced shortly.
ANYTHING to keep his position!!! I can't say what he would be able to do ... besides contradicting himself, sell his soul and his.. he shouldn't wear a simple mask.. he already covered himself with .. something MUCH STRONGER AND STINKY!
Seems he is promoting racism
Wouldn’t these “black” entrepreneurs become small business owners who are largely rich people avoiding taxes?
cool pandering dude. what about the indigenous? u know...the ones Canada has shit all over for hundreds of years? I have nothing against this but this is CANADA have our own bad history w/treating indigenous like crap. We are NOT the US. How about we address our own sad history?
He knows them so well.....
justintrudeau is such a hypocrite. This does not make up for trudeau's racist behaviours of his past. Just another divisive move among Canadians. All Canadians matter. racism Trudeaumustgo cdnpoli
Cause Conservative doctrine demands it pathetic cpcleadership shame cnpoli
Don't worry we all know the racism strategy he prefers just recall his blackface episodes they show his true core beliefs to the world
He's going to stop racism... with more racism!
Boo hoo. ALL LIVES MATTER
What about Indigenous, Asian, White, and all other races don’t we get support also Mr.Trudeau🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Am i Black enough to qualify for this program
Did you ask how race-specific money isn't systemic racism? If you can't look at a government incentive and change the word 'black' to 'white' without it sounding racist, then it was already racist to begin with. 'After announcing a new program to support white entrepreneurs..'
I find it disturbing that we are only trying to stop racism for one group affected by it and everyone seems ok with that.
Everyone should know by now Trudeau's fix and solution for EVERYTHING is just to throw money at it, and yet again here he is doing it.
Racism is a HUGE problem in Canada since JustinTrudeau arrived
This program is a glaring example of the racism that masquerades as “progressive” ideology Trudeau is creating more racism not tackling it.
can some genius explain me , what is criteria of Black business owner ? just skin need to be black or do i have to be African or somalian ,if you aware or no there is good quantity of blackskins in South Asian Community
Trudeau is the racist moron as usual. I have 1/64 african DNA in my blood, so I can perceive myself as Black, right? Am I allowed to receive that support? Or my privileged brown caucasian ethnics forbids that? CDNpoli TrudeauResignNOW
What barriers? Name one bank who does not loan money because of the colour of there skin. Why is the media asking that simple question. LiberalCorruption FakeNews
Why doesn't Genius bring more black people into the country so he can take more Canadians' money and give it to them? And that will make the problem go away! And I'm sure next year Canadians will cease to called racist. And 'journalists' will stop asking these questions.
This is wrong and racist to any non-blacks. You cannot have tax payer funded loans available to only certain ethnic communities. It reeks of virtue signaling and vote buying. Trudeauisaracist
Oh great, let's make Canada even more awash with identity politics than it already is. Seems to be working out great for our neighbors to the south. We are all one race ... the human race. Wake up.
Super-woke PM
This is a good measure, but I feel like Indigenous Canadians need just as much if not more support.
Trudeau needs a distraction from his crimes, what you gonna do, what you gonna do when Trump's DOJ comes for you.
And for Brazilian-Canadian entrepreneurs?
Cash Loans.......Sounds like Trudeau is going to be Funding new riots in the not so distant future
How about tackling important things like child poverty, senior care, vets, OIL and GAS. ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY TrudeauMustGo TrudeauCrimeFamily TrudeauResignNOW
so you take money from hard working Canadians and give it only to black. I am so done with this country. Open the borders
How do gov't loans 'break down barriers'? He should be depositing cash into black people's bank accounts with no expectation of repayment.
Didn't he just create further racist divide with this action?
13% of black people in american represent 50% of the murders. 94% of that 50% of those murders that are commited by black people are on other black people - 94%. There's a culture problem. Not a racism problem. 80% of black dads not in home. To much welfare. Wake up blacks.
Does this not violate the Canadian Human Rights Act? Discrimination based on race.
We really needed to lockdown the country for months to shovel money to blacks ?
More financial support for black people!
What a pandering fraud.
Good PM
Racist Trudeau ... making division among Canadians far and wide.
