They all just got a raise April 1 the day our carbon TAX increased 50%! You know the tax we were promised a rebate for, which turned out to be just another lie!

We shouldn’t need to pay companies to hire workers. We also should verify the subsidies are supporting US jobs occupied bu US citizens and legal immigrants paying US taxes.

Unfortunate that the wage subsidy program reinforces the wage gap which holds racialized, disabled, and female Canadians down in situations of poverty or disenfranchisement at the very least, when compared to better paid white men.

Based on their performance they should be made to pay back their salaries since last January not get more money. This is all very consistent with the liberal attitude to taxpayers money. Just spend, spend and spend more.

[deborahtofflemire]

The government needs to get there money by letting us go back to work
