If we'd only let WE run the program none of this would have happened, right? XD

Seems to have happened anyhow.

Setting aside the fact that anything put out by the Fraser Institute is usually a steaming pil of partisan garbage, even if true AFAIK it’ll all be clawed back at tax time for those who are high earners.

If you earn $100 k a year or more and lose your job and income you should still get CERB. And if sometime later you somehow land on your feet before year-end with another job and make back your lost income then good that’s the whole point of the program isn’t it?

Get bent. If you make $100k or more a year you should have budgeted better with the amount of funds that most Canadians will never see in their lifetime!

I'm sorry, but I will in no way ever feel bad for someone who makes $100k+ a year and still manages to fuck it all up. If people can't live within their means (especially when they have MORE than enough), then that is on them and no one else.
