Why would any business owner support this bunch?
It all comes down to a slow return to pre-pandemic revenue levels amid continuing restrictions, along with a large debt load that makes it impossible for struggling firms to borrow more.
Why bother to correctly identify the problem if all you propose are solutions which will largely make it worse? The 12 point program linked to the article seems like a prescription for suicide.
Our politicians on all levels through various enforcements, have made business in Canada illegal.
Hundreds of regulations and restrictions that we face here and yet, they do not apply to importation.
It has gotten worse with this fake Pandemic as no one can fight our governments ’emergency orders’.
Problem with strictly being reliant on imports, the quality has drastically been falling off a cliff and you can’t return it.
I can still get products that are tax free and free delivery.
Let them fail. Lay it at the door step of Government and let them personally sue all Politicians involved. Nobody is bailing out the taxpayer so no bail out for business. Go Tits Up I Don’t Give A Flying F*CK.
I totally agree.
I won’t buy anything that is not absolutely necessary And no restaurant visits. Why would I put money into a restaurant with the homo flag in the window (most of them have it)? Unfortunately, most Canadians being idiots, they will do the opposite. Fuck them and fuck this country!
The government should…
The government should…
Wash, rinse, repeat.
In their quest to “help” they’d make things more onerous and burdensome on business owners, especially the small businesses.
For example, instead of their ideas to support the travel and hospitality industries, let people travel across provincial borders, and start allowing tourists from the United States, so they can spend those tourism dollars.
Seriously, businesses are failing and continuing to do so because of the obvious reason that government authorities at all levels won’t let them be in business. But somehow more government “intervention” will solve the problem.
“Seriously, businesses are failing and continuing to do so because of the obvious reason that government authorities at all levels won’t let them be in business. ”
And the government will continue to do so as long as businesses keep marching to their executions without a peep of protest.
C
government “intervention” will solve the problem.
THANK God for SDA.
How many of you spoke against the covid virus vaccination, now Health officials are finding out this crap is killing young people. I’m glad I told my daughter to wait and not get our grandsons vaccinated because young men are being affected the most, 20% higher more deaths from a heart disease I can’t pronounce, thank you so much for being allowed to bypass these Fuckin technology dictatorships.
Kate. Dennis. Francisco. As also other comments by SDAers.
Colleges are not allowing people to come back unless they get the vaccination.
Don’t go back to college if you have to be vaccinated & forced to take it ,
Piss on them !
Kate. Dennis. Francisco. Etc. Etc. As also other comments by SDAers.
This is all according to the deep state plan of destroying the middle class and use the jab to reduce world population by 80%. The gullible sheep line up to make this happen. Unbelievable how they have co-operated. For those left alive it will a world of you
will own nothing but you will be happy. This is all being done with a disease that has a recovery rate of 99.7%. Fear is the greatest motivator.
Let me tell you how and why: The federal government doesn’t give a shit about businesses closing. And neither do the sycophantic buffoon provincial “leaders” like Ford and Pallister. If anything, it will allow them to play Robin Hood with their bags of printed currency, lending to the BIPOC and immigrant communities to start (read: replace) the previous businesses. Win/win in their books.
All with heart warming stories about new businesses started by immigrants, Indians, and black people (the reams of taxpayer cash and the printing press will go unmentioned). Just search for “the syrian chocolatier” if you want to see what I mean… don’t if you are already nauseous. Of course that drivel is always pumped out by the CBC.
Anyway, it’s time to get out folks. Call it what you want: voting with your feet, a brain drain, capital flight… doesn’t matter. Smart people are getting the fuck out of this country.
“Smart people are getting the fuck out of this country.”
Meet the new country, same as the old.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
False premise. The goal was, from the beginning, a large wave of business closures. If you are trying to reason about why they would do something, when you started out being mistaken about what they wanted to accomplish, all your effort was wasted before you even started.
Start reasoning from things that make more sense.
The only legitimate employer, is government.
The only legitimate owner of anything, is government.
The only reason to start from somewhere else, is if you are unwilling to see the truth. Or, you know you are lying, and you are simply creating smoke screens.
Precisely Kevin. The goal of the pandemic was to kill small business and let the biggies bulk up. Then, the govt can subsidize the biggies to hire as many as the govt deems necessary to have ‘jobs’, just as in the Soviet Union. So this is the how they will shift us into socialism/communism. all the while they will allow inflation to get rid of the debt. We will become slaves to the state. Dissenters will get no ‘jobs’ and will be marginalized and destroyed. Resistance is futile.
Climate change and renewables are designed to force inflation to get rid of debt and to strip workers of income because wages never keep up to inflation. We all know how communist systems systems end – very quickly after much misery and suffering. We are in the dying days of empire.
But,there’s another motive and that is to reduce the earth’s population. Pervert Gates said as much. He and his Davos buddies want reduce our numbers to more manageable levels.
It’s a good thing Trudeau and friends decided that the Post National State didn’t need a Hydrocarbon Energy industry, or the collapse may have drug on for much, much longer…………China speak.
“Governments should enforce fines for customers who disregard COVID-19 measures
to help companies enforce safety protocols confidently, including mask mandates.”
Oh yeah? How about I throw a brick through a window?
No way the Canadian Federation of Independent Business sees eye to eye with these syphillitic assholes.
In many ways the Wuhan Flu has been a great eye-opener. Its helped identification of the True Statists, the Fervant Communists, the Weaklings and the Cowards. And Jesus Murphy they are around every corner and most are proud of representing multiple groups.
I can tell you it gets lonelier everyday. I’m no hero but Canadians are sickeningly weak.
Kenney destroyed the small business community in Alberta. Now the SHITCON is handing out up to 30,000 Grants and Loans borrowed against the Tax Payer.
I keep telling people Canada has never that I recall had an actual Conservative Party or Leaders. Even JG Diefenbaker gave us Socialized Medicine not the NDP. Peter Lougheed, ha ha ha what a joke. His mission was NO PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS FOR ALBERTANS and grow the size of Government by leaps and bounds and hire thousands of Unionized Bureaucrats. SHITCONS/LIBCONS all the very same.
What is the single biggest expense of Canadian Families? Something that is never included in CPI Stats. It is TAXES.
Canadians are pathetic weaklings. Mewling Moles looking for a TIT.
Remember the Molson Commercials. “I AM CANADIAN” No asshole yo are a blind Mewling Mole Whining for a TIT or well you know what.
Agree, Buddy, the CFIB would totally disagree with most of this presentation. But then the Chamber represents the big boys while CFIB represents the little guys – a lot of whom are women – who are really struggling.
Rent seekers are like that – they act as if they are partners of the state (and they are – full on fascism) so they dare not challenge the elected psychopaths. Here’s a better idea, Canada. Do what Nevada just did and open everything up. Anyone not comfortable with that can crawl under a rug for the next six months or so.
The point of the subsidies was not to prevent the failure of Canadian-owned businesses. It was to insulate Bay Street from the consequences when they did.
Most of that subsidy money went to service debts owed to Bay Street banks. In other words, Ottawa borrowed money to bail out Bay Street, without making it look like a bailout. A stroke of evil genius.
The banks accumulated enough of a cushion that they’ll be just fine when the plug is pulled.

Oh, come, friendly tsunami.
And can someone tell Justin that power-stances are so 2015.
And we all know what happened after that.

Canadian chamber of fascism! Did the Communist Party buy them? Holy crap.
L – International Business Billionaires have signed on to oligarchical commerce and politics.
This in a Faustian bargain, as federal/provincial governments shut their rivals down, the small and medium family/independent businesses.
See that’s what small business needs, advice from an ex-government minister, somebody who has probably never had a real job (I cannot be bothered to check).
We are coming to the edge.
One side bases their view on actions.
The other on intent..
I am on the actions side as most of the “intent” is lies.
The result of our actions,is a bankrupt country.
A country in which operating a business has become a miserable masochistic act.
By our actions,destroyers,killers and bandits enjoy legal protection.
Law supporting citizens get lawfared into poverty.
Actions..
CanAhh Duh is a lawless shithole with no viable future and no means (except the cold) of defending itself.
The “Intent” has been most wonderful,all the loftiest of goals,aspirations for a “more just” More “equitable” society.
The “Intention” to help the poor,the homeless,the useless and the clueless,glorious stuff for signalling ones virtue.
The resultant action?
More of all of these groups.
So indeed they did help create more poor,more homeless.more useless and clueless,while extorting a nice income and living from the taxpayers.
So was this the real intent?
Such is why any “intentions” have become utter bullshit.
Actions and past actions are the only truth we can know.
So we enter the age of retribution,which seems to follow its own cycle.
About every 3 to 5 hundred years civilization goes splat,again no sine wave is perfect in nature as other factors shape events.
Cause we are living the actions and few of them bode well,many of them very “ungood”.
We know the stated “intent”.
Hell some of us even told the “Intenders” that they could not get there from here,due to basic physics and human nature,but they overwhelmed us(Democracy) and went on.
Now we see and live the consequences we forecast.
Yet we were and are unable to convince the herd that stampede is insane,that wishful thinking is not logic and that feeling are a personal matter.
So where did we fail?
What were our own intentions? That lead to todays betrayals?
We “tolerated” way too many stupid things,as I see it.
I am a fools who practised restraint and moderation,when I should have been collecting hides.
Permitting fools and bandits to loot at will brought us to here.
We stood back and bitched because we were being looted indirectly,making very hard to get our hands on the thieves..
Retribution is simple,Pope Pious? The 6th or 16th I forget,answered his general in Southern France,who asked “How do I tell the heretics from the true believers?”.With “Kill them all God will know his own”.
Now as we wallow in the ruins of a real nice civilization,we get to chose,do we treat our “helpers” as well intentioned but misguided?
Or do we judge by the results?
Do we have the wealth,to reward these serial failures?,with “Nice try here is your government employees pension”??
Or with rage?
You betrayed every ethic and value you swore to protect,get yea gone on pain of death?
For civilization was ever skin deep and the last few years have shown it to be dead.
Burn Loot Murder being a most graphic example of what our “helpers promote and tolerate.
Actions?
Or “Good Intentions”?
Are they still ‘good intentions” when the results are murderous?
JR, Again, another perfectly stated post. Thank you Sir!
