Wednesday's fiscal snapshot will be the first public assessment of the country's economic and financial situation since the pandemic started in earnest in March.
The snapshot is expected to give an idea of how the government sees the rest of the fiscal year playing out, including figures for a potential deficit, but opposition parties want more than just numbers.The Conservatives are demanding the Liberals also change the Canada Emergency Response Benefit to encourage more Canadians to go back to work and provide the auditor general more money to properly scrutinize the government's COVID-19 response.
The NDP has put forward its own requests, which include expanding the federal wage subsidy program, providing support to Canadians with disabilities and going after rich Canadians and companies that use tax havens. Federal figures last week showed direct government spending on COVID-19 supports at just over $174 billion, including another increase to the budget for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit. That is now expected to cost $80 billion.
The Symbolic Tower of Refugees 🤡🤡🤡👍

'We have dozens of beaches:' Tory urges residents to practice 'common sense' and avoid huge crowd scenes amid heat waveMayor John Tory is urging Toronto residents to practice a little “common sense” and to seek out less crowded areas should they head to a beach to cool off this weekend. In my opinion, they should only let some people in, then allow another batch at least 4+ hours later. I think that's pretty good. So spoiled rotten baseball players can fly across borders to Toronto to play ball amongst 100's but hard working migrants picking food for are lazy asses can go home.....got it Good, people need to get out in the sun, fresh air and enjoy life and stop hiding
