I'm more interested in the background of this story! There are still work from home jobs with the Canadian government??? I thought they were forcing everyone to pretend everything's normal and to get back to shared office air and repeat infections. A fully remote job sounds amazing! I'd take that!

Shut up and take the money . The Liberal incompetence is laughable and sad . Think of the billions the Liberals have given away to their friends and family members in Ontario .

Then give it back. How do you not know you got paid for a job you did not have?

This should speak to the competency and work ethic of government employees- she did not work, and they still paid her? So how do they know that their other "employees" are actually doing their jobs and being productive? This proves we really need to stop calling it "service" Canada.

That's HILARIOUS, At least your honest, at this point as a tax paying Canadian i say she should keep the funds she was given.
