How the Liberals Are Already Winning the Next Election: Buying the Young Minds Today as Future Voters Tomorrow

"...And finally, when the analysis includes Canadians age 15 to 24 who live with their parents in households making at least $100,000 but who do not attend school and who earned between $5,000 and $24,000 in 2019, the number of potential CERB recipients increases to 985,200 with a total potential cost of $11.8 billion.
These are significant expenditures to a large group of Canadians whose need is at least questionable, given that they live at home as dependents in households with significant income (2019), and whose average monthly earnings under CERB would in most cases be higher than when they were working..."

Another Day, Another Trudeau Conflict: The Court of Public Opinion Beat the Ethics Commission to the WE Charity Fiasco
$912 Million awarded to a charity - with no oversight or invoicing that the Auditor General could use to monitor this program. Justin really thinks Canadians are stupid.
We will see how much teeth (or lack of) the Ethics Commission has to conclude this conflict-laden, aloof transfer of a near billion dollars of Canadian taxpayers money

National Post: Hundreds of thousands of U.S. visitors are still crossing border into Canada each week.
"...Cross-border asylum seekers have also slowed to a trickle.
Fifty-nine people crossed into Canada from the United States seeking refugee protection between March 21 and June 22, according to CBSA; 51 of them were irregular asylum seekers, meaning they did not cross at a legal border port.
Almost all were turned back to the United States; just five — all of whom presented at a formal border point — were allowed to proceed with their claims.
Of the 51 irregular border crossing, 41 were into Quebec and 10 into British Columbia..."
