Despite the story being pulled the facts the Trudeau government screwed up remain intact
The National Post pulled a story that falsely claimed ‘more than 800,000 ineligible people received CERB’
pressprogress.ca
so PostMedia had to pull the article because they had implied this was criteria
However the criteria as per
www.canada.ca is still relevant
Who can apply: CERB with CRA - Canada.ca
Eligibility criteria for who can apply for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) with the CRA.
www.canada.ca
Nowhere does it
explicitly state anyone had to have filed a tax return as a criteria, so PostMedia had to pull the article because they had implied this was criteria
However this is still a criteria as per
www.canada.ca
You earned a minimum of $5,000 (before taxes) in the last 12 months, or in 2019, from one or more of the following sources:
Simple logic should tell you that if you earned 5,000 or more in the last 12 months there is a T4 slip or you had self -employment income and
therefore you should have filed a tax return
This page provides information on when you are required to file an income tax return.
www.canada.ca
Do you have to file a return?
File a return for 2019 if:
you have to contribute to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) for 2019. This can apply if your total net self-employment income and pensionable employment income is
more than $3,500.
One had to earn a minimum of $5,000 in 2019 to qualify for CERB, however if you earned more than $3,500 you need to file a tax return
While not explicitly stated if you did not file a tax return, you either should not be eligible for CERB or you have a CRA issue
The pulling of the article does not change the fact that the liberal government has no way of determining who in the 800,000 should or should not have received the CERB because of their incompetent ready , shoot , aim planning
Where are the crickets now??
What is real interesting is the quote from
https://pressprogress.ca/national-p...aimed-800000-ineligible-people-received-cerb/
How does that reconcile with the blatant and obvious left bias of the CBC or any of the left leaning media that took Justin's bribe?
The big irony is this from an extremely left leaning source pressprogress.ca
Where are the raised concerns over the left bias in the media which is very blatant and very widespread?
The job of the media should be to preset facts, without bias
Most journalist are taught this, however it appears they have lost sight of this fundamental principle and wish to mold news rather than report it
