Here! Here! (And possibly, *HEAR* ?)
Look at this he is away from his cottage oh my and can’t hold a full parliament hmm
Ask him if he supports Trumps view on China’s treatment of the Uighur Muslims ? Some of them are being used as organ transplant donors ! Can he make a clear statement on this tragedy! No talk around but a straight answer the first straight answer ever from him !
We should recognize Taiwan as well.
You guys need to understand, extra pay means grocery prices will go up!
The pandemic is over, there is no need to pay any wage above market rates.
Raj they pay more in taxes than all of those store employees, that’s their contribution. Taxes that were used as cerb and other stimulus packages. These execs had to take all the strategic decisions to keep their establishment afloat and they were at risk of also losing their jobs. The pandemic is over, the economy needs to take back its natural course.
@C. XO CERB and other financial assistance is being paid from borrowed money, not taxes. As a result the federal deficit will likely hit $252 billion dollars. And this has been going on for a long time pre-pandemic where employers have been getting away with paying so less. Loblaws for example reported earnings of $240 million in its first quarter of 2020, an increase of $42 million over the same period last year. Yet they scrapped the $2 hourly bonus from grocery store workers. And the reason for the increase in grocery prices is because the virus has disrupted the food supply chain. It has no correlation with the pay of grocery store workers.
Saqlain Abidi 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Was about to say that.
C. XO they pay taxes on profits earned from a business that is massively subsidized by the govt through carbon reduction subsidies and wage subsidies funded by our tax dollars. Loblaws got 12 million dollars for installing new refrigerators from the federal government, it is never the responsibility of tax payer to fund clean energy initiatives of a private firm, that money ought to be spend on healthcare, education and infrastructure. Don’t spread corporate propaganda and crony economics.
Minumin wage??? Yeah right market rate.
Pourquoi vous voler les chasseurs et tireur sportif du canada monsieur Trudeau.????
Bon question
Hey Justin sure sucks to suck
He certainly does .He has a bunch of glory holes in his cottage. That’s why he stayed there so long
When he talks, I completely zone out. Justin is unable to give a straight answer about anything. One of the worst prime minister’s in history
How about the 1.7 billion dollars funding propaganda midia be used for hospitals and homeless. Or the billions he gives to corporat chairmans
Midia? Corporat? Trump?? Is that you?
Handsome, intelligent and kind .
Oh gawd, you voted for him just cause he makes you have to change your panties. Pathetic.
He’s a snake
🤮
all the justins from canada are racist. justin trudeau and justin beiber
Trudeau ? What a bag
Looks like a costume party 😂
The same stores he gave 10 million to for nothing!!
It was actually 12 😖
Why don’t you get your own house in order and leave businesses alone. You continue to run huge deficits. If these businesses ran deficits they wouldn’t exist. Mind your own business.
Call out China next.
A guy who has never spent a penny earned, should STFU.
He has no idea what those stores have to do everyday.
Ironically the Super Store corporate offices are closed. So it’s to dangerous for them to work in an office because of covid but not dangerous enough to pay their employees living wages. To bad they only care about excessive profit.
They were temporary raises. Temporary. That means they don’t last forever. Pandemic is over, wage returns to normal – nothing newsworthy here.
Justin Trudeau is the Supreme Leader of Canada. They need a giant statue of him.
Yes so all.the old stock Canadians can take it down and burn it
Stop disability fraud, stop welfare abuse. The workers should get treated first.
Maybe Justin Trudeau could give all the stores a few hundred million $$$$
Remember his Loblaws bonus$$$$$
