The federal subsidy is meant to help companies respond to the economic fall-out of the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping employees paid and covering 75 per cent of wages for employees of eligible employers, including non-profit organizations and registered charities. Many political parties, including the Liberals, New Democrats and Greens, had applied in the spring for the taxpayer-funded subsidy, citing at the financial challenges caused by the pandemic at the time. The Conservative Party also received money under the program, though leader Erin O’Toole later vowed to pay the funds back.
PharaonJoe Morally bankrupt and now financially bankrupt without Liberal aid. Hahaha!!
No one fucking cares
Lol this is desperate because Harpers name is involved I guess the company hasnt suffered loss during a pandemic, NEWSFLASH he doesnt hold a federal position so no conflict of interest or wrongdoing maybe look at the multiple investigations& 2 guilty findings Trudeau has
Glad he was able to keep his employees on the payroll because of the CEWS, exactly how it was meant to be, and exactly like many other businesses in this country which didn’t make the news. Sounds just like regular Harper bashing to me.
And I still wonder how Harper got to be so rich doing only politics.
Maybe start naming companies that didn’t.......my guess, short list!
So did my neighbour who also does consulting work. A more news worthy story would be about the former Liberal MP from Quebec who received hundreds of millions of dollars to build respirators .
What's your point.
What a leftist rag !
Good, why shouldn't a Canadian consulting company get some of the goodies liberals are doling out like candy. Lots of liberal pals including Chinese companies getting this subsidy. Shows liberal incompetence, whereas Harper's company just doing what every business should do.
I bet you got a nice fat cheque from the liberal_party for this article. MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople
So?
And your point?
And why not? He’s a private citizen now!
Sorry We got wage subsidy during pandamic ( not parity)
We charity recieved wage parity during pandemic.
Harper decries socialism while applying for and accepting socialism 🙄
Now do the Trudeau Foundation and explain to Canada and Canadians how in 6 years it has grown so fast
So did China....could your reporting be any more partisan?
Nancy_Crouse Harper & family still scamming Canada 🤢
Here we go again with the paid MSM, did we forget to mention the Libtards corruption already?
How about reporting on the $912mil WE scandal eh? Great “journalism”. Everyone who qualifies is entitled.
A company applied for a government program. Is this the best anti-Harper story you can do? Oh more important question: are the Liberals feeding the media anti-Conservative stories? If so, that is the real story.
How many ex & current Liberal MP'S &/or their family members received some kind of payment or contract during this time!
Irony is not lost on me! consarehypocrites
And this is news, why?
I have no idea how this is considered a news story. He has a company, the company has employees, any company with employees qualified for a government subsidy to help pay their employees. The program literally had no rules and no oversight.
A qualifying business is a qualifying business.
The also reported foreign airlines rec’d the 🇨🇦 CERB. Somehow, they qualified. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
We are at an all time low in Canadian media. Harper is a Canadian, he has a Canadian company and hires Canadians. What’s the point of this story? If rules are followed, there’s no story. Is the Globe trying to make one?
So Harper did it right? That’s what your saying? He Applied with a legitimate brick and mortar company wth employees? While a Quebec company who got a sole source contract to produce PPE doesn’t even have a building for manufacturing!!
So?
And?
inky_mark Are you going to name every company that recieved the subsidy? How much money did the globe and mail get from Trudeau's media propaganda fund?
Well of course they did. Socialism is only bad when it helps those in need...it’s the conservative way.
Stealing Harper at it's finest 👌
Well of course he did🙄the province of Alberta is sponsoring his son too.
So...
FEEZYDoesIT I wish he would just go live on an island or Mars and leave Canada alone.
Hey stupids, so a lot of companies in Canada, stop the shit.
So did the business in my neighbourhood.
And?
Which his company, that employs Canadians , is entitled to. Now do companies owned by liberals.
Ok so nothing shocking or nefarious at all, just an Article that can trot out boogieman Harpers name to distract from the fact we dont have enough Fing vaccines for Canadians. Great job gaslighting people.
LyndaE222 This coming from a company that is now suckling from the govt’s $595 million media bailout package teat and sells $132,046 worth of space to publish Chinese Communist state propaganda. 😂 😹 ChinaWatchScam BoycottGlobeAndMail
Oh stop this is just dumbass reporting. cdnpoli
Now do companies of former Liberal MP'S
Of course they did taxtherich
Why did his company need tax payers money
A private company lawfully uses a program developed by the current government designed to help private companies. What exactly is your point with this article?
G&M just go away already
why
Not a problem. He not our PM any more.
Now do that Liberal friendly company in Quebec that got a contract without having a facility or experience.
Enter stage left for the Liberal slander...The Harper Boogieman.
So did China!
Good. Anything else?
What’s your point here? 😳😳 He’s a private citizen he runs a Canadian company with Canadian employees. What a ridiculous headline and ridiculous “news“ article.
So? Was there a clause that said no conservatives can access it even when eligible? Geez. At least pretend to be news...
What about Justin's company? Oh that's right he never had a job, just lived off the taxpayer since before he was born.
So did the Chinese communist bank
So what? So did thousands of other companies.
So?
Why is this even a story? Globe and Mail did as well.
His company is Canadian and employs Canadians and permanent residents - right? Unlike the Chinese banks and foreign airlines who also qualified. Ex Liberal MP's received Million$ as did Katie Telford's husband.
As did Chinese banks. How are ANY banks able to collect subsidies when they are one of the few industries making a killing during CV19 . And the CCP(bank owners) are actually KILLING MILLIONS of Uygurs, whistle-blowers and protesters
Beats giving it to those Chinese companies that took the money that the liberal_party worship!
Former PM Harper is a grifter. In other new, fire is hot and scissors are sharp.
Harper with his hand out.... typical Conservative, hates Socialism for people... loves Socialism for self🤔
So?
And your point is More LPC/LNN Bull—!
Still conning his way through taxpayers money.
So what?
Sooo? Isn't that what it's for? Go ask Trudeau why foreign companies like air China are stealing my money?
He still a pig at the through.
Scumbag!
So did China. So what?
BREAKING: Company Eligible To Receive Funds From Government Program Receives Them
hard to believe...Trudeau don't give shit to Conservatives
And we hear he is billing 300k to both AB and SASK for ‘consulting’ and his son is in for 117k so that is 717K that we know of and he has the gall to take more money from taxpayers? These hypocrites love pocketing tax money as they foam about deficits. Why do people not see this?
Rich getting subsidies? Fraud.
An entity that doesn’t buy budgetsBalanceThemselves. avatarsTrudeaugovernment orders fridges and vaccine in November & dec 2020.urgency Alberta was “aggressively surging procurement “ ppe November 2019.
8 Political parties, including all 4 at the Fed level received funds from the CEWS. Yes, even the Liberals and Cons.....
This is what constitutes in-depth journalism in Canada. An informed electorate is essential to democracy not filled with drive by innuendos. He owns a Canadian firm shut down by Covid. This should not be news.
Oh for Pete’s sake- does he have no shame
So legitimate companies asked for available help & received it. Some media got help from the government without asking for it. IMO, all they had to do was sell themselves.
Finally, some responsible spending!
and did I not read that the NDP party also received this ?
I'd love to see an accounting of all the Liberal sponsored companies that have received it... oh and how about WE charity... didn't they also receive it?
You mean Stephen Harper runs a consulting company? Perhaps he should have just been a loafer and lived off the system
Isn’t that what it was meant for?
So? If it qualified why’s the issue?
Meanwhile back at WE Headquarters...
That is embarrassing.
So did the Liberals, NDP and Green Party. Wtf is your point? Harper, Harper, Harper. Shut up already about Harper.
And? He owns a business.
Companies out of Country received monies. The liberal_party government must be low in the poles. 🤬🤬
So did Chinese companies.... and?
At least it's not a Chinese company.
So? Am I supposed to be outraged because it's STEPHEN HARPER? Please help me Globe and Mail, I've lost my ability to think, should I be mad about this? TELL ME HOW TO FEEL!
Globe and Mail trolling for clicks.
Will you report the 8 political parties that took the wage subsidy money? Or has Trudeau paid you just to slander Harper?
lambk could have borrowed from his son ....
As they should it's a private CA company not a branch of the CPC. The G&M have truly lost their way if they believe this is journalism. What an absolute mockery Trudeau's bribes have made of CA's main stream media! Every outlet spews Trudeau Liberal propaganda and misinformation.
So?
At least it’s a Canadian company...
What’s your point? So did the federal parties and Chinese companies.
Because of course they did. Just like Alberta’s UCP were the only political party in Canada to get that subsidy as well. Grifters the lot of ‘em.
And .........................,...
You mean an honest business that provides a service was given a wage subsidy? This is exactly what the liberal said that they were going to do oh, was it not?.. or was it supposed to just be for liberal supporting businesses?🤔
Our system establishes the criteria for eligibility. In my experience, such eligibility did not include, “are you a former PM that many people don’t like?”
Good for him
So typical of hypocrisy of conservatives cut welfare to poor people but accept welfare for themselves despite being wealthy! Absolutely disgusting
