Hopefully Bell, Rogers, Air Canada etc. are paying their unnecessary benefits back as well.
No, because lots of politicians (both acting and former) sit on the board of directors for many of those corporations. Didn't you wonder why the big 5 banks were so quick to comply with the Trudeau government's requests in freezing bank accounts of anyone even tentatively connected to the truckers' protest?
😂
Doesn't Bell have a 50 billion dollar deal with the Feds, over a number of years, to put in fiber?
@@Boujading1 they should. The covid benefit loans were due this year.
This is Trudeau's idea of "being there for Canadians"
Never take a dime from the government.
On the contrary. Take as much as you can get
@@Bergamot88 no because then they want it back
@@dev4statingx90 make sure to get the money that you're supposed to get. Not asking for money you're not entitled to. My work actually tripled during the pandemic because for some reasons, some folks were still using dial up to work remotely and couldn't even work remotely using the apps we were using.
@@dev4statingx90 The Government doesn't have money, they just spend yours.
@@dev4statingx90 Uhm, yes that's called a loan.
They could start with the laundered money that went to Ukraine
You are so ignorant that I feel sorry for you😊
Maybe they could raise money to put you through the 7th grade again?

And when you go to mail it they will close the Canada post office
Ask them for the contract where you consented to have your labour stolen .
He made more money on CERB than in his entire career 🤣
and they will take blood from a stone
I doubt it. He probably make million$ under the table and has million$ hidden somewhere. I can't believe the government wastes so much taxpayers' money just giving it away to everyone.
Exactly!!!!
LOL
LMAO. Every milisquare inch of a droplet or even an air pocket in a stone.
The government should have called CERB as it should be: a loan, not a benefit. Benefit implies there is no strings attached, while a loan is something that needs to be paid back. There are some who applied for it because they were led into believing this was 'free money' when this was more along of the line of a loan. They should have called this as Canada Emergency Response Loan
It's a loan without any interest for 3 and half years, which could be $4,500.00. That's the benefit part. The business owners knew what it was when they got it. Their bookkeepers have explained everything in detail. They have no excuse not to pay it back.
except cerb didnt have to be paid back, hence not a loan.
How about this, get the money from SNC Lavelin.
Let's hope they can recoup the money that even Harper gave them and all the other business that he gave billions to. Yet, just a call from them to Trudeau that got the whole thing open. SNC Lavalin looking to get the same deal out of the Libs.
@boyce5994 What about the money he stole?
Get help!
Is that why Pierre is meeting with SNC Lavalin donors?
@@McLovin1759 Pierre is apparently a crook too then 🤷♂️.
Ah, the country’s biggest criminal organization doing what it does.
What have the police to do with this?
No that would be the 2nd richest person, a foreign national and whose in the business of cryptocurrency😂
Kind of ironic how many CRA employees were found to have falsely claimed covid benefits WHILE getting paid by the feds.
Millennials'?
Money laundering and racketeering.
Release the NSICOP report.
sorry, if trudeau can take a 80000$ trip to jamaica for the holidays, i'll take my sweet time paying it back. thank you
You got that right?The snake justin tudo snake government
And u won't care PP wants private healthcare which will cost taxpayers 300-600 BILLION MORE PER YEAR than FREE healthcare. All PP had to say was "nuh uh I worship the sky trust me bro" and he can make u vote against EVERYTHING u want.
You care more about 80K than Alberta and Ontario Cons stealing BILLIONS per year from taxpayers. Whether its Marlainas $80 MILLION tylenol scheme, failed privatized healthcare scheme, abandoned oil well scheme or the several million other schemes, THERES NOTHING THAT CAN FIX THE BARBARIC MINDS OF SKY WORSHIPPERS.
Lemme guess u are also mad that Trudeau saved taxpayers 2.7 TRILLION in the last 9 years JUST BY KEEPING FREE HEALTHCARE. "Big pharma bad, but lets remove all safety regulations for vaccines and give them TRILLIONS OF TAXPAYER MONEY."
CONS ARE A CONTRADICTION. CONS WOULDN'T BE CONS IF THEY HAD TO PAY FOR THEIR CONS
Don’t forget the 220,000 dollar airplane chef prepared meals
My job went from 5 days a week to 1-2 days during the pandemic...so I thought I was eligible. I got the benefit for 3 months. Now years later I randomly get a letter saying I'm being investigated, and I have to go back to my old employer and get all my paystubs during that period, and a letter from my old manager who is long gone. What a lame hassle. What was the point of paying all those CERB taxes and submitting my T4? They should have all this info already
Id tell em to kick rocks , jail me you immoral bozos i will eat for free an educate a large group .
hmmm, wonder if they've collected from the cra employees who illegally took the cerb money yet
Ever meet a CRA worker?
they all got fired lmao
They need to collect to help pay for J.T.'s outrageous vacations! 😡
JTs holiday wasn't paid for, but the flight and accommodation for Security is PROMOTED by the Conservative thieves, as a personal gain.
yeah, he's stupid lol duhhh
Don’t do it. I wouldn’t
If the government wants more they should go get the arrivecan money back.
That money went to their buddy's so they don't want that back.
And Pheonix.
Every time, every single time I went to use arrivecan it wouldn't load. Got fed up with it and ended up "interviewed" each time
I never took the money because I knew it was a trap just like living in canada
Thts why I never took it...and it would be a trap yrs later..
You poor victim. Feel free to leave. I'll help you pack.
@@squatch545 when can you be here ?
@brenly7054 I treated it like my student loans. I invested it, got interest, and then paid it back in full the minute I got my letter. The interest is free money. If you're smart, you can take advantage of the fact that there's no interest on the CERB. Even if the stock market wasn't the greatest at the time, it was a great time to buy into it. When it bounced back, that made everything worth it. I actually made money on my student debt too.
The CRA needs to recover that money so that they can send it to Zelenskyy.
He is way down the list. The Canadian grubbermint is a racket designed to siphon money from the proles to assorted interests.
Ya I heard his wife just bought an 8.5 million dollar Bugatti .

@@amieinnovascotia3237 No joke . Investigate for yourself . Zelensky and his wife have been buying all kinds of extremely expensive things .
If Massey wasn't eligible for the money why did they give it to him?
He was eligible. The CRA just thinks he wasn't.
@@squatch545 Rambling Nonsence.
''There is no such thing as a free lunch'' Masses are about to find out.
A "Loan" is far from a free lunch.
So are our leaders.
Justin charges Canadians $12,000 a month for his free lunches (personal groceries)
Nobody but the elderly are paying a dime 😂😂😂
Most dont have a dime come take it.
The CRA is leading the fight in "the war on the poor."
How about going after off-shore bank accounts?
Made a thing due to government greed.
How about not defrauding hard working taxpayers.
obviously not a "full-time" job
I applied for EI after I was sent home during the covid. Now CRA is writing me claiming I owe them 2k. I'm not paying.
It’s the CRA’s fault for not doing due diligence when giving out the loans.
Or for only making it clear what kind of documentation they would require retroactively.
they bought votes now they want it back
It's really not, it's an agency they did exactly what legislators told them to. That's their job. To do whatever the elected government tells them to and to warn them when it's a bad idea.
You don't know me and have no reason to trust me...but I promise you objections were made and then ignored. Due diligence is called "screening" internally, screening was done but liberals wanted a PR money shower. So CRA made it rain as instructed.
@ChipJam Loans? You said it bud. LOL
@@Wilem35 Yup - if only they had called them 'loans' from the beginning ... !
Glad i never took a dime of CERB.
Yup. I overpaid my taxes by over 3 grand. I can’t even contact them to get it back. All emails sent to them sent me to someone else. Since I don’t have dental coverage I need that money for major work. I’m afraid if I go to their office they will just direct me to go online to do it.
Have you tried phoning?
Sounds like service Canada.
can i have the name of your accountant
They go after the little guy EVERY time!
Its because the little guy does not have expensive lawyers and usually gets scared easily ad just pays. corporations have legal teams that drag it out for years in court so its not worth it. the average tax payers need to revolt against this corrupt goverment.
That little guy was committing fraud.
@doubledcanada yup bad crooks are typically the "little guy"
@@Wilem35 remember when the government went after waitress tips... i do
@@robisverybad75Requiring workers to pay taxes on their income? Horrible Government. LOL
Its like someone crashed there car through the front of your house. then pays to have it all fixed up ... and at the very end of it all, tells you that you have to pay them 2000 dollars.
The car crash was the lockdowns which the liberal government did.
I know right? They messed up people's lives for a solid 2 years and now when it comes to election season they are just now deciding on taking money back? That's how you lose an election.
at a time when every ones barely getting by as it is
As planned
Next weeks news. Another 9.5 billion for Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇨🇳
Maybe go after the private golf and ski resorts that had their hands out. Maybe go after the businesses that rinse the CRA for billions every year while the rest are being hammered.

CRA offered amnesty to wealthy KPMG clients in offshore tax sham yet issued legal warnings to average Canadians who lost income due to unconstitutional lockdown mandates.
Thats our government and it doesn’t matter who is in charge!
There were no lockdowns. Keep crying with your victim mentality.
The issue is that they didn't lose income. CERB and all the other emergency benefits had eligibility requirements that are set out in law which are not even that hard to meet. However, many Canadians applied for it knowing they didn't qualify for those minimal requirements. Now they'll be facing the consequences of their actions.
@@cw9282 They knowingly applied for CERB because they needed it. The eligibility requirements were absurd. If you had income in 2019 over a certain amount, you were eligible. If you didn't, you weren't eligible. In other words, if you really needed CERB because you were already poor, you weren't eligible.
@@pdnowlin if you dont vote like myself then its not your government, its a mobb selected by immoral weak neighbours .
Owed the CRA this year again and paid them back in April. It's now July and my account still shows I paid nothing. Next year I won't pay them on time and I bet they come looking for me, what a joke the Government is...
Technology can be difficult for seniors
@@Wilem35 reality can be difficult for the indoctrinated.
Try paying the correct account. The CRA has many payment options and its clearly listed which one to pay in the collection letter.
You can check online if they received the payment. Ive literally seen banks sit on money and never remit it to the government.
So they can give it to their friends instead.
No, that's not how it works, Cletus.
@@titusmccarthytit is the perfect handle for you😂😂😂
So you don't have a clue how anything works, is what you're saying. CZcams economist. Almost as adept as all the CZcams lawyers out there.
@@JMcD500 You probably sucked on one for 5 years+ so it is quite amusing.
If you owe the CRA money because you collected it illegally, we want our money back. That is mine and every other taxpayers money.
However, the CRA approved them for this. It's gross misrepresentation and deception on the government's part and a prime example of how it takes two to tango.
Can i come take a % of your labour , i mean me and some buddies had a popularity contest too.
The problem is Trudeaus spending
There is a huge grey area. Lots of ppl were ellible legally but still asked to pay it back
@@brianpistor4976 ALL were supposed to pay it back. Back when they originally announced it, they told everyone that they would have to pay it back. It's not a grey area. Just a blind spot in the general populace. The heard they were getting $$ and then their brains ignored the part where they said they would have to pay it back. Its why I never bothered applying for it. I knew it would be to much to pay back.
Trudeau needs it for Ukraine.
So Trudeau can send it to India.
that’s where we live right?
How many companies are being attacked re repayment
Seniors are lucky in that the CRA cannot go after their OAS, GIS and CPP.
which is why these loans need to be paid back.. To protect those funds.
Who said they haven't tried?
WRONG they can.
They confiscate GST credit and carbon tax rebate.
Ah yea they can. It's called an external setoff.
Im a single mom of two kids under 10. I was on mat leave till sept 2018. My dad had a motorcycle accident in October 2018. Both his legs were severly broken. I took care of him for most of 2019. I was hospitalized with severe pneumonia January 2020 (covid). I had no choice but to collect some money or we would of been living in a tent! I will no doubt have to pay back as well! Im currently on disability for chronic pain. After having covid my body was never the same. Ive had two surgeries since then! The depression is real tuff to deal with knowing this is coming and i can barely feed my kids now.
Wasn’t it the government’s failing to do proper screening? Who feels like paying any tax anymore? 50% of our earnings are taken by the government. What do we get? Serious question.
50% of earnings are definitely NOT taken in taxes. Quit whining.
The govt wanted to get the money out fast; no time for 'proper screening'.
@@hilariousname6826 That’s not this man’s problem.
@@ashatan4554 Agreed - but it wasn't the govt's "failing"; they did not intend to do "proper screening" when they handed out the money; that's all I'm saying.
@@squatch545 That's really not far off. No one escapes sales tax that eats up 13% of your net that has already been taxed at least 15%. Another 13% in my case goes towards property taxes and that's because I'm lucky enough to not be paying $2000 a month for a 1 bedroom in a building where I don't have crack heads and/or drug dealers.
How brain washed do you have to be to believe that half of your money should go toward taxes that fund cronyism?
I never use other peoples money. Credit score at 804.
I bet busines daddy spoon feeds you caviar for it too.... I don't think you spent decades capitulant to a system that has rewarded you with a number which only serves to make you work slightly less hard sometimes.
Problem is if you want to grow any business and even start most businesses you need a loan. Also pretty much everyone takes a loan to buy a house.
If you never borrow money then who cares what your credit rating is? Lowering your interest rate on borrowed money is the whole point of the credit rating.
clearly you do if you have a "score"
If you look diligently at those bills , they say bank of canada on them that money is not yours .
Libetals have to pay for there spending.
Meanwhile they sent over half of that already to Ukraine and will never recoup the costs.
That is what they are doing, collecting it back!
Why they targeting the citizens target the liberal Party aswell for spending alot of money!
It's YOUR money that was lent out genius. Now the borrowers have to pay it back. Are you unfamiliar with this process?
How many Billions of dollars will they spend trying to collect the other Billions?
It's not that hard to collect the money. The assessments are already issued. Now it's in the hands of collections who need to issue only a few RTPs/garnishments to all their bank accounts and the money in those bank accounts are gone in an instant.
CRA just lost in federal courts today
Im still waiting on my tax return....never mi d all the money you gave away especially to the immigrants that came in duting our lockdowns.
Don't mess with CRA. They always have a way to get the money back.
Go after Canadians for 9.53 billion but keep funding Ukraine as one example.
Canada is not only funding the war, but also funding the Ukraine pension. Not to mention the $959.00 to $1946.00 to Ukraine refugees in Canada per month depending on being single or a family.
Over one hundred billion given to Ukraine since 2022.
What about the TFW's they get live out subsidies too.
Their money doesn't even stay in Canada
Sources? How do you know Ukrainians are getting free money to come here?
That money didn't start leaving canada with the Ukraine conflict. We been funneling money into the developing world since I was born.
It was always an issue. If the person bringing up the issue thinks trudeau started all these problems then they are actually a bigger problem than our expenses.
We've given $4 billion. It's a lot and I don't think it's justified, but don't put out blatantly false numbers like you did. It makes you look foolish.
If you research the government of Canada web site the numbers are there. So no I'm not just throwing out numbers.
It's nothing considering some places were dealing with historic floods and it was all spent on keeping the kids happy during the '3 week' break the curve of infections

Gets paid for the occasional gig, gets steady cheques on CERB. Fraud.
In his defence he applied and the system said he was eligible. That’s the systems fault.
No they explicitly said on the website to only take the money if you are eligible, they did not research your eligibility, that was your responsibility.
@@onemanturret1641the system basically approved everyone, it was HIS job to verify. That’s like saying oh the government didn’t stop me from putting 30k in my TFSA so it’s their fault i over contributed
When you asked to be approved for the payouts it gives you the guidelines and says you are confirming you meet all the requirements.
what about all the money they gave to Zelensky? is he going to payback that money also?
Well I will be taking CRA to federal court then. Cause I am not paying them a dime. It only costs $2 to file suit in federal court
CRA policy works on the premise the applicant is always in the wrong. Onus is the applicant to show error, not the CRA. It's a biased system.
Take it from the tax returns or collect the amount monthly payments but don't charge interest so they can at least have enough time to pay of the loan.
What about the EI I was eligible under medical claims.
If you took it you need to pay it back simple shoulda read the fine print. The cra will always get there money. Businesses should of never been able to qualify for this what a fraud this program was
🤦♂️ we made a mistake, so now were blaming everyone else
Huh?
@@squatch545 yep , and he makes a great point
@@Analogbrotha Huh?
Any money, this guy had been paid under the table for years to avoid taxes and, as a result, could not show the required minimum of $5k income for the previous year. If he's able to prove it, he'll face tax fraud, but without that evidence, it's CERB fraud. You have to pick your crimes - you don’t get to commit both.
The CRA can't got blood for a stone how are we supposed to pay with money we don't have
Can you say the same about a mortgage or loan from money mart? Debt is debt, dont take it if you cant pay it back

Audit the PM for his income increase !!!!
Lol I would like to know how to reach them and what country they are currently working in
If they weren't eligible why did the government give them the money ?
Because they wanted to get the money out fast to those who needed it; the honour system was the only way to do that. The trouble is, though, that they didn't make it clear what kind of documentation they would come asking for 3, 4, 5 years later.
They need more money for Ukraine

Is CRA going after the millions that big business got ?
Kwan do you know the law? Those thieves ought to pay back the money shameless! The government will enforce the law and when they get old forget about pension or any other benefits!
Wasn't one of the selling points that we ALL were eligible for Covid payments?
Nope. Not at all. It was very clearly explained at the time.
A lot of ppl werent eligible bc their employers kept them just below the min required working hours. So they ended up not qualifying while also making less
Only if you lost your job because the place you worked for closed due to COVID.
@@XetaXones what was the minimum?
@@Nothingcomestomind124 The eligibility requirements were absurd. If you had income above a certain amount in 2019, you were eligible. Below a certain amount, you weren't eligible. In other words, if you were poor and needed the money, you weren't eligible.

I had a number of friends who never worked and took the Cerb and they are mad they have to pay it back....I'm grateful for the Cerb it saved me....a friend took it and hadn't worked for over a decade and is mad she owes 30 grand...I'm like girl I told you.

Way to go for all the Fraudsters. Please go after them , Thanks.🙏
This wasn't fraud. Try actually watching the video.
they played the game and got caught. no sympathy.

What he make and what he reported is the reason for the disqualification.
Put your little trudeau hat on you don't have to pay
"Flexible payments" = Pay it all now and we won't seize everything you have or are expected to receive 🙄😖
CRA has no business license to do business in Canada or any province so if they’re hassling you ask them for their business license if they don’t have one which they don’t kindly tell them to FO.
I strongly encourage those Canadians who fraudulently received Covid benefits to pay the government back. You will sleep better at night, you won't be scared of knocks on your door, or calls from CRA collection agents.
the threshold is showing you earned $5k in 2021....
And if your evidence of such isn't to their satisfaction, you have to pay it back - whether or not you actually earned the $5k - fair enough, perhaps, but it doesn't mean that everyone they're going after actually 'defrauded' them.
You mean 2019. The income criteria was absolutely absurd. It shouldn't have mattered what your income was in 2019, since the entire economy was shut down in 2020. The unemployment rate was 28%. Everyone needed assistance.
It shouldn't have phucking mattered what income you had in 2019, because everyone needed money in 2020, since the entire economy was shut down. The unemployment rate was 28%. The income qualifications were absurd. If you had money, you qualified for CERB. if you didn't have income you didn't qualify for CERB. It was ridiculous.

Defund and cancel CRA and let them try to go to,court 😊
😂😂😂 what did this liberal government expect would happen.
They should have thought about that before they gave out all that money recklessly!
How about the CRA go after their own employees who got CERB.
So if this person was not eligible for CERB payments , then why did the CRA send him CERB payments ?
.
They were trying to get the money out as fast as possible.
Stop giving our money to other countries or is that a loan? Do they pay interest Do they pay it back or is it a donation?
