The NDP filed their application on Friday, and shortly after the Liberal Party of Canada, Conservative Party of Canada and Green Party of Canada confirmed they had also applied. Both the Conservatives and Liberals have already received funding to allow them to keep paying their employees’ salaries after seeing political donations dry up.
“Like many Canadians, organizations, and not-for-profits, COVID-19 measures are having an impact on our team, party, and operations, and we’re doing our best to adjust to this new reality. This has meant incurring unexpected expenses that ensures our staff have the ability and technology to work remotely for an extended period,” Hann said.
“It has dropped significantly,” NDP National Director Anne McGrath said, adding that it was a “pretty straightforward” decision to make. In an interview on CTV’s Power Play, McGrath said she anticipates the NDP application will be accepted, given the Liberals and Conservatives have been approved. “I didn’t know that they had applied,” she said.“We have had a drop in donations, and we are a non-profit and take seriously our responsibilities to protect the jobs of our staff members," said Green Party of Canada Executive Director Prateek Awasthi in a statement.
“They want taxpayers to contribute to subsidize the salaries of people whose job it is to raise funds, all while these parties have full coffers and even oppose public funding of political parties,” he said. From the perspective of the NDP, McGrath said the fact that the party is set to receive funding doesn’t hinder the caucus’ ability to continue to push for expanded federal aid programs.
🤮
Just wondering why Jagmeet Singh’s name is written very large, and his party the NDP is so tiny? The sign prominently advertises him and not the party he’s with. The others show their party name as being the main focal point and the leader second. But not NDP?
Pigs at the trough...
'the party is looking to avoid layoffs and maintain regular operations but with many Canadians not having extra money to give at this time, they aren’t relying on donations.' But regular operations AREN'T taking place. Trudeau has all but suspended parliament...
This is just wrong !
The least essential service in the nation.
No. No. No. No.
The only “major” about the Greens is Liz May’s drinking problem And Firejessallen
What’s the fourth? The picture shows a fringe party.
they all know Canada is fucked ,they are grabbing what they can
If liberals get subsidy then cameras should be inside tredeau cottage untill he comes out if hiding. This way we can see where our taxes are going. 5mins on CBC doesn't cut it
You know you’re in trouble when..........
Look familiar 👇
Trudeaugate obamagate 👎👎👎going down....
Let them crash and burn
😁 ;HeilYouknowhu! cdnpoli bcpoli Quisling regime Public Bill (Senate) S-226 (42-1) - Royal Assent - Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (Sergei Magnitsky Law) - Parliament of
We have 4 major parties? Oh yes there’s the bloc(heads), but they’re not a national party. BTW, 3 seats doesn’t make a major anything
This is fine - the idea of the subsidy is to save Canadian jobs and these particular jobs are important for the functioning of our democracy.
Stop spending our money on yourselves, you are all creeps. Go get a real job and pay your own way.
Sad.
Where's the Bloc Québécois? They have more sits than Green and NDP.
Taxation is theft
This is perfect.
What the Fuk
Wrong
GeorgeSaarinen No way, this is out of hand
Fucken hosers
I think they should pack up their circus act and travel to Honk Kong to be spokespersons for the free Hong Kong movement. and if they get arrested In Honk Kong during the protests they wont need no salary in Jail, wink wink say no more
Really ?!?!
All three, thanks. Fake News. The greens have never and will never be a major party and shouldn’t be included in debates or stories like this
Just wrong.
And us lowly citizens are told to save 6 months salary to prepare for an emergency. How is it that corps and political parties can't even save enough to cover 2 months.
Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Curious that theJagmeetSingh’s name is above his party while all the others are their logos only. Someone might be a little full of himself.
I hold the current government responsible. They allowed this.
Pay cuts first
No, no and no! You are not a business.
Because they don't make enough?
Can’t vote for any of them now.
Maybe all the parties should survive on ODSP or OW wages and see how well they survive!
Why dont they just end the lockdown, and return to work?
No comment all crooks
All them need to get off the public teet, PRONTO
Shame on you AndrewScheer and JustinTrudeau for looking after yourself before others. People can't afford to pay rent. Business are finding hard to make ends meet and your reply for government handouts for your party. Shame.CBCAlerts
Oh they can screw off.
So you're saying vote for a different one?
They all should fill up bankruptcy and disappear.
And that is why we do not any oppositions in Ottawa.🤢🤬🙄
Unbelievable!
Disgraceful course of events against taxpayers!!
Oink, oink.
The are four major parties?
They should all be ashamed of themselves. Passing the legislation that allows this is a conflict of intredt. Ethics Commussioner needs to examine this.
How will giving political parties more taxpayer funding kick start the economy?
Well (with tongue in cheek) any financial adviser will tell you to pay yourself first. OMG
Why is wrong?
Maybe political parties in Canada as a whole should be abolished? Kinda like what they did in Cheran, Mexico.
They shouldn't be eligible.
rent ppl gets fuck all the time.
what about the BQ Party.
So these cork soakers will not go without. This is the worst example of unauthorized taxation ever. Half of Canadians are screwed but if you work for the government or a political party— all’s good.
Pigs meet trough
I feel some oil industry supporters furious that the greens requests subsidies...I outrage the they all do..
This is the peak of insanity.
Wuhan =========adrenochrome
