  1. So I am a student full time from home based due to Covid-19 Corona virus, and I take care of 2 teenagers would I be qualified for the funds on a monthly basis?

    1. Yes, you deserve a millions of dollars a month and should get $500000 each teenager you have been take care of and should be back date in March!

  2. Love the sultry molestor’s voice… I can understand how many women and some men have fallen for this jester

  3. Would someone who just got hired for Canada Border Services who just started training for four months but only got 9 days qualify? This person was working for about 10 years for one company, quit their job to go into training out of province and then sent home due to covid.

    1. What even is debt right now when the whole world is in crisis. This is necessary to not fall into a deep deep depression.

  4. Quite dishonest, this will never achieve enough votes. Total disgraceful purposeful lies. I bet you liberals will say conservatives dont care about students and jobs. Setup shame on trudeau to do this deceitful handout

  5. If not stopped, Trudeau will leave Canada a smoking ruin He’s like a felon on the run, living off your stolen credit card.

  6. When will the Government do something for pensioners? We are still taxpayers too, who to will be helping to pay down all this debt.

  7. The almost daily changes to government support programs indicate a lack of planning. Do it right the first time and move on. Is this just a method where Trudeau has something to say for another day?

  8. How can they talk about creating jobs when they don’t even have a plan to reopen the economy????

  9. The college course ended on November 29, 2019. However, the graduation ceremony is scheduled for September 2020. OMG!!! OMG!!!
