CERB is Causing an Entitlement Crisis

Many Canadians were expecting to receive Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) payments on September 1. However, the cheques are currently a day late, so some have taken to Twitter to complain about the holdup and then complain at those pointing out their entitlement.  Did anyone still not receive their CERB payment today?

Calvin Helin: Eagle Spirit pipeline update and eco-colonialism challenges

“In the northern communities alone, it’s north of 90% unemployment. People desperately want work and to be able to have some meaning in their lives, be able to have opportunities for their families.
