OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s offered provinces $14 billion as part of a “safe restart” plan notably to help them buy more personal protective equipment and offer up to 10 sick days to workers. But some provinces are already saying no deal.
That proposal, first announced to premiers during a conference call on Thursday evening, was met with little enthusiasm from the provinces on Friday. “I wasn’t getting any requests for this. This seems to be something that originated out west and the prime minister is kind of taking a hold of it,” New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs confirmed during a separate press conference.
Quebec Premier François Legault said he’s interested in the $14 billion offer by the federal government — as long as it comes with no strings attached. “We know that Quebec had more cases than the rest of the country, so we think we should receive more than the 23 per cent our population represents in Canada,” Legault said. During his daily press conference on Friday, the prime minister also announced a one-time non-taxable payment of up to $600 for people with disabilities.

Bribing provincial governments now.., or threatening...
I’m not going to read this or anything else by National. Your shift to give far-left and radicals a platform to gain legitimacy and spread misinformation and disinformation further and faster is disturbing. Most 🇨🇦 media are also already doing this. Why? Just clicks?
Amusing how it’s ranted as a federal problem when the provinces are asking for the money and more.
Funny, he’s doling taxpayers money to any circumstance that comes along, we’re deeper in debt by the day and accountability has become a wanton dictatorship! Turdeau must be disposed of.
Let me guess, Quebec gets 8
After he critisized them for opening. I see he only thing that could make him come out of his cabin was a photo op.
He’s so generous with my money. And it’s so kind of him to devastate our economy so he can play hero.
is it just a coincidence he is depicted like Jesus in this photo?
Safe restart - protests - stay home - go protest. I’m confused 🤷♂️
Considering Ontario pays more than that to the federal government alone $14 Billion is an insult.
I wonder what the $ amount is when we reach the point of being unable to deal with the debt. At some point we’ll be downgraded and unable to recover.
Maybe focus on how to stimulate the economy. Here's some ideas: - Invest in the Arctic for mineral and resource development - Promote Arctic Tourism - Start infrastructure spending in the Arctic which will create jobs
There is one group paying. The taxpayer. Our kids. Grandchildren, great grandchildren
Stop lying, we know this whole pandemic was a scam. You disgust me, Trudeau.

But.. he heeeears us. He cares. He really cares.
Where is the $300.00 promised to each senior couple? Maybe I just had a nice dream.
14 billion with how much interest attached? Our first born children?
Correction, Canadian taxpayers are offering $14 billion.
Maybe he could make sure people can eat. The restart is coming but places like Alberta & Saskatchewan , there are no jobs to go to. People need $ help.
Yeah. Commie Party of China blood money. They'll come collecting sooner or later.
It figures Quebec thinks it’s entitled to a bigger share based on number of cases. The fact is the economic shutdown has affected businesses in every province no matter how many actual cases of covid each had. Trudeau just doesn’t miss a beat in enforcing his political agenda.

Obviously he discovered the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Now I hope he's prepared to take on the leprechauns
The provinces & Canada will only be able to restart if Trudeau resigns.
fordnation JustinTrudeau thanks for giving our tax dollars back to us, not let’s open up!!! Stop this oppressive nanny state control and let’s roll!
So 13 goes to Quebec and rest of country gets 1.
What a complete idiot. Seriously. It’s staggering. Can I have a billion too... I promise to be good with it. We’re an economic plane crash. Oh well.
There's only one wallet...the taxpayers
By your demonstration, physical distancing is no longer required, so open up the economy.

Where did teacher Trudeau get $14 billion?
I would also like to offer provinces $10 billion ... I just need the Trudeau foundation to give it to me much the same way we've given $14 billion to Trudeau to flaunt as though it's his own.
🤦♂️
Turn on the hose, let the taxpayers' money flow
He acts like it’s his money. It’s my grandchildren’s money, fool!
