GET OUR MONEY BACK STUPID!!!!

While many local businesses didn’t survive. Truly disgusting!!!

So they should pay back what they were given and still break even. Great deal..

the owners should be put in jail......thanks Trudeau for wasting our money.

Corporate welfare.

I wonder if any of the workers there saw any benefit ....

Literally every business took CERB. Every accountant advised them to. It was a tax free (partial) handout from the government. Here’s 60k, pay back 40k and 20k forgivable.

An appropriate response:

Should be up on fraud charges...

And most canadians cant even make ends meet lol. Corrupt system

If you think this is a big deal, then you should really care why the govt refuses to tell us where the $240 billion went in COVID spending

Big deal. Over $12M in CERB was sent to addresses overseas.

😂 nothing to see here - JT

Remember this when it’s time to vote. Trudeau has hidden so so much money, this is just one of the many places it’s gone. I’d imagine his family goes there. Time to get this clown out of office!

How is this possible when companies had to show year over year declines in their revenues. This really smells like taxfraud

Where can we find the names of all companies that took part?

And we poor suckers are paying more than we should have to.

when the government invites you to apply for pandemic relief, the unspoken second half of that statement is 'IF you need it.'

The wrong people are in jail

I can appreciate urgency and lack of resources on short notice in Rev Canada during pandemic but there has to be some oversight and accountability. Making rich richer at my expense infuriates me. Get the money back! JustinTrudeau fordnation Accountability

So who is going to make them give it back

Tell me more about how fordnation cares about small businesses and the working class.

They could have closed in 20/21 season and would have still survived - Collingwood private ski clubs are one of the largest collection of such fir the elite in the world. Disgusting they would advantage if this when so many other businesses were in need.

This is repugnant. Why don't these entities ask 'just because we can, should we?' It is the entitled attitude of some businesses and Conservatives.

That’s Dougie, keeping the base happy.

Give it back!!

Dig deeper, you’ll find a friend of a big Liberal !

The calculation to qualify for CEWS compared business revenues to prior year OR the few months before covid, and the firm could choose which comparison gives them the biggest impact (revenue decline) from covid. Seasonal type businesses were big beneficiaries of the process.

Well now the gov know lets if they do somthing about

'the club, which enjoys not-for-profit tax status,' WTF😳 We have many problems with oligarchs and inequality in Canada too. Not much has improved since Harper.

Every cent should go back

Aaaaand letting small businesses go under, letting ppl starve, ppl die. Everyone says no to handouts, but corporations get the biggest handouts ever, and they're considered justifiable.

‘“With the charities, you at least have a bit of transparency,' said Blumberg. 'The non-profits are just a black hole.'k

Corporate Welfare must stop. Over 1/2 billion dollars was stolen by Ontario businesses not entitled to receive a dime. fordnation forgave the theft immediately because they had “suffered enough”. People/workers who create wealth suffer businesses do not.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Claw it back

All businesses including got the wage subsidies. The subsidies kept people employed instead of on CERB. The government money was being spent one way or the other.

Maybe this should be the news? Questioning our elected officials on there morals and ethics?

Why would these documents need to be 'leaked' in the first place? In the USA anyone can look up online which companies received federal Covid relief, and how much they got.

Claw the money back

Make them pay it back like I had to...duh

Classic entitlement attitude! The rich get richer and get away with murder!

Get all that money back!!!!

This has got to be pretty easy. The Federal government can demand its return or the club can voluntarily give to Ukraine.

claw it back!!

Take it back!

For all the charities who BARELY hang on during the pandemic and stuck assiduously to the rules and intent and are now nearly ruined ... I find this sort of thing repulsive Damn... this makes me mad as hell

Our tax money!!

Why are they leaked? Aren't the loans public?

Simply pay it back.

This pandemic made the rich richer and drove down the middle class

gun fat voice reason drive

Maybe the government will make them pay it back, lol not bloody likely.

How is a ski lodge not for profit? It's literally a business.

Return the money so it can be used to help businesses that are struggling. No brainer

The rich get richer.
