Heres where some of your tax dollars went

[Richard5]

But I am hearing some BTO’s got some kind of covid subsidy here for actual cash rent on land on top of the wage subsidy ?

That’s what i was referring to

$60,000 interest free for two years.
Why the hell not?

The bank was after me hard to apply for CEBA , i said honestly covid didnt affect our farm.They basically told me to make something up.Dont need CRA involved anymore than they need too.Nothing is ever free.There is a reason you had to set it up tru a bank account, now they have access to look into your bank info.

And this is somehow different than fraudulently applying for the CEBA loans and even worse the rent subsidy?

Any covid program required you to attest that you were significantly financially impacted, which for most farms, was not the case.

Easy now. Surely nobody would take advantage of a government program.

Full disclosure: I did not... to my short term detriment.

For those that cannot prove eligible, the interest free part will be the shocking surprise.

Their problem not yours.

Yup, I'll take the free money and accept the low real risk every time. It's worked this long. Cheers.

It’s ok to give billions away to other nations, but not ok to give to your own people.

You could use the excuse no Canadian really needs it , we are so much better off than the rest of the world rational.

I don’t understand you people.

Most all of the countries we give the borrowed money to have a lower debt ratio than we do.
Most all are shithole countries where graft is endemic and set rates are well establised.

The group we give to looks a lot like the CWB customer list. Lots of opprtunity for kickback.

I look at this title “where your tax dollars went”. Me thinks we will never know where a gargantuan sum of money went, maybe disappeared. Our Russian Studies Journalistic will surely answer all questions?
