It's Just Money

It can be printed at will:

About 30,000 Canadians will be able to keep $240 million in Canada Emergency Response Benefits despite originally being ineligible for the money, according to government estimates.

The Liberal government has decided to forgive the debt of all self-employed Canadians who claimed an average $8,000 in CERB overpayments — worth a total of $240 million. The claimants did not meet the benefit’s eligibility criteria due to confusing government messaging, according to information quietly published in the Canada Gazette two weeks ago.

The Public Health Agency breached federal rules in paying out more than $600 million in cash advances to contractors for rush orders on pandemic supplies, auditors disclosed yesterday. The value of money lost on goods never delivered was not revealed: “These contracts are considered riskier.”


Also - because discovering gold rocks is far more important that life-saving drugs:

The Royal Canadian Mint yesterday deleted Nobel Laureate Frederick Banting from a coin commemorating the discovery of insulin, but honoured James “Skookum Jim” Mason of the Tagish First Nation in a separate coin marking discovery of gold in the Yukon. The decision follows a 2019 cabinet policy to address “colonialism, patriarchy and racism” in historical observances: “This contributes to the ongoing process of truth-telling and reconciliation.”

 

Whom the gods wish to destroy ...
