Easiest and simplest way is give money to everyone like HK and US. | That's what the NDP wants.

People are going to scam tf out of it
Frankly I’m tempted to apply and just see what happens even though gainfully employed. Same people who are going to be getting this are the same ones already scamming EI, double dipping on benefits, etc.

Well, none of this is coming my way, damn it!
Oh well, I guess I'll keep paying the taxes like a good little boy.
At least I'm getting a refund this year.
I just hate the fact my tax dollars are going to fucking scammers and dishonest people. Paying to help those in need, I don't mind at all.

Easiest and simplest way is give money to everyone like HK and US. | Except US isn’t giving an amount that matters to anyone. What would a one time payment of $1200 do to mitigate people’s financial issues after job loss?

In a household of two parents plus one child, That's almost $3k.
It can cover the necessities.
A blanket payment is meant for accessibility and speed.
The more regulations and processing there is, the longer it takes to get to people's hands.
The sacrifice is, some people are not going to get as much as they would have with a more regulated system, and some may get more.

^^ something is better than nothing. HK is giving people like 10k HK dollars which is more or less 2k Canada. And that's a one time payment as well.

Stick to EI, and have a system to help self employed people.
So many lazy people are going to take advantage of this it’s insane. They cannot just give 2k to *everyone* who isn’t working. That’s fucked

the CERB 360usd/wk excludes essential workers/students & new grads
BC emerg benefit for workers 700usd but sign up for our email to get more updates!

Prices for an additive used to clean fish tanks have skyrocketed after studies found the pharmaceutical drug version of it may treat the coronavirus, a report said.
Chloroquine phosphate is used to in aquariums to kill some organisms, like algae, that may harm fish.
Sellers on eBay and other websites hiked prices in March, and buyers were willing to shell out large amounts of cash for the substance, Storyful found. The listings indicated that the product wasn’t meant for human consumption.
Between Feb. 25 and March 2, the price paid for a single 25-gram bottle of chloroquine phosphate rose from $9.99 to over $500.
On March 18, eBay’s tracking indicated that one seller had sold 84 lots of the substance in 24 hours. By that afternoon, all sizes were sold out save for 100 gram lots, which were being listed for $519 each.
The anti-malarial drug chloroquine, and a derivative of it called hydroxychloroquine, have been found effective in killing the virus in laboratory experiments, according to some recent studies.
But the drug hasn’t yet been approved in treating COVID-19.

But it's not hard for CRA to track it down and cross reference things. Yeah, some will fall through the cracks but many will get caught and penalized.
I've never been audited, but I think the last branch I want to f with is the CRA.

The sacrifice is, some people are not going to get as much as they would have with a more regulated system, and some may get more. | And in a household of two Canadians and no working children it’s 4K a month. They will have the money in 3 days of application, which from what I’ve heard is taking people minutes.
That can also cover the necessities. I fail to see how the US system is better than ours.
The difference with ours is that it will remain accessible for a longer period of time so there is a safety net for what we hope is the entire duration of the extreme points of this situation.

I’m not saying what the US is doing is wrong, I’m just saying it’s not some undeniably better approach just because orange man always right and Trudeau always wrong in the eyes of some of the people in this thread.

It's a supplementary, no questions asked cheque.
No application. No processing involved. It's being automatically sent through tax records.

UBI would probably be more than a one time cheque in times of disaster. Again, I’m glad it’s happening so the irony is lost here.
