Tone deaf CBC. Maybe we could write this headline acknowledging how they extracted incremental wealth from their workers, sacrificing the safety and health of the very people working for them in the process. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rewards for hard work and keeping their companies profitable is what they were hired to do.

Pompeo: we can take down the CCP in the same way that we took down the Soviet Union. But we have to be resolved. Get more information from GETTR CCPLiedPeopleDied CCP≠CHINESE CCPVirus

Including CBC

Wealth tax now please JustinTrudeau cafreeland

🇨🇦FYI CANADA🇨🇦 Stephen Harper’s firm got PANDEMIC AID (CEWS) from the federal government. His buddy hired his son. Paid his son to lie about the pandemic. Harper said Canada's pandemic spending has been 'overkill'. ‼️🤦🏻‍♂️‼️ Hypocrites Grifters

Nothing compared to all the money flowing into pharmaceutical companies.

Confirmation that Rich are getting Richer while middle-class & working poor are getting poorer. And what's Shocking is that no one has screamed or shouted learning about this!! Greed! Stephen Hawkins was right 'Greed will destroy human race'!

😡

This is disgusting.

Because of, not in spite of.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Tax the rich. JeffBezos ElonMusk RichardBranson TaxTheRich

In good times, the rich get richer. In bad times the rich get government handouts, and get richer.

Sometimes, 'despite' is a euphemism for 'as the result of'. Sometimes.

Not despite. Because. warprofiteering

The only way to stop this foolishness is to demand electoral reform. Promised by Trudeau in 2015 election. A promise broken by Trudeau within the first couple of months of winning the election.

David with Centre for Policy Alternatives 100 top-paid CEOs make 191 times more than the average worker salary=People Still Kiss Bum Restaurant Brands International did not apply for CEWS some Tim Hortons franchise owners did=Like The One On PEI Mess With Girls &People Still Go!

Hmm. I wouldn’t call wild inequity growth “stellar”.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer!! Absolutely disgusting!!

Excessive CEO compensation should not be possible when taking any kind of government support or subsidy. At least for the year of the support payments, there should be a reasonable cap.

Angry but what is the point? Nothing is ever going to change

No surprise here..record profits for big corporations while mom and pop get their stores closed..follow the money

Way to go!! I am sure that they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and are all so deserving!!!!🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, and CRA is calling me because I owe them money. I’m living on a small pension and rent keeps going up and the price of food is hitting the roof. We need to vote in a government that is not in the pockets of the rich 🤑

Trudeau needs to clamp down on these ones.

Greed is alive and well in capitalism.

hopefully they pay it back

suck up all the funds so the workers got nothing.

Yikes

VERY SAD

CBC-the king of government handouts!

This is appalling. I am the CEO of my company. I have a whole six employees. I didn't take CEWS. I didn't get a big bonus and I may not even get a paycheque until February. My employees come first. Small business is the backbone of this country. Give us the break instead.

They're probably also shareholders of Pfizer, Moderna. Their stocks went up majorly...hmm I wonder why?

Yep. Let's keep voting for the Cons and Libs who think it's a bad idea to tax the rich. WealthTax

They need to pay their fair share...tax them

YAY!!!! Awesome for them!!! Stellar year woo hoo! That must be awesome while the rest of the country struggles to make ends meet but hey! Fuck yeah! Stellar year!

Massive wealth comes from underpaid labour. Worker productivity has increased but wages of the average worker, after inflation have not increased. Every year I read that by lunch time, these top CEOs make by lunch time on the first day of the year, what most survive on all year.

There aren’t 100 CEO’s in Canada 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Tim Hortons is just another Canadian tradition milked by an American company just like the beer called Canadian.

Not surprising that 1% profit while everyone else suffered

What else is new?

Corporate taxes need to be increased as soon as this pandemic is done. These thieving businesses are not suffering.

Zero resentment in the comment section.

Federally Funded

This is so shameful ! Employees of the company are the ones who make the company successful . If the company had no employees the company would not exist ! They are assets!

How's the CBC making out through the pandemic?

And people wonder why we are polishing our pitchforks. This is why TheGreatReset essentialworkers TaxTheRich

It's called stock buy backs. Even though they had a shit year they still made a lot of money

Canada can do better than this.

When do they not have a stellar year

Pandemic is just a nuisance for the rich.

Meanwhile the Liberals and Conservatives worked together to vote down wealth taxes and keep loopholes. TaxTheRich

but minimum wage is what drives inflation🤣

ALL schools in Alberta are closed to ALL children.

Tax the rich.
