And now that it's 'over' lol do they want the money back. BC they want the money back from CERB from the 64 yr olds who barely make it with three gig jobs.

How much did the media get?

I'm pretty sure alcohol consumption went up during the pandemic.

Yet no money for health care 🤔🤫

I didn't get any of this yet lost my business because of their mandates.

This from an organization that gets over $1.2 Billion of govt funding each year That's the true definition of hypocrisy!

For a conservative gov to work like a socialist party…. I suspect there are kickbacks.

Incompetence Brewers wow

Capitalism

Imagine this when the kid comes home broken & deemed to poverty disabled injured worker eh.

I’m against corporate welfare, but tbh this is more like restitution for damages

breweries, really?!? I was under the impression that people drank 4 times the usual during the lockdowns!! LOL!

🙄🤨 Really? Because the first thing I want to do when I go on vacation is to watch a movie? And airlines? They money from the feds that was meant for cancelled tickets that instead went to shareholders wasn't enough? onpoli
