It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s time for our crack strategy panel! It seems that every day we hear from another group talking about falling through the cracks of COVID-19 aid. The Prime Minister just announced help for farmers, and earlier a group of small business people from Toronto’s Gay Village was asking the government to do something about the fact that their landlords were not taking up the commercial rent subsidy – but rather moving to evict people. The government is saying this is all happening so fast, they can’t forecast well enough to design a proper budget. Meanwhile, the opposition Conservatives are saying that some of the supports, notably for students, are a disincentive to letting them work. And, speaking of the Opposition, the Conservatives released the rules for their leadership race after we last met – they are not reopening the nomination process – a fact that some editorial writers are criticizing saying that the party needs a different kind of leader in the wake of the pandemic.
