[Description: on a rack at the front of a store, a red shirt with white lettering reads “LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR – STAY OVER THERE.” This is a play on a famous insurance ad jingle, “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.”]
Although we contact a lot of people for research, this was the first time one of our writers said “I’ll call the FBI Agent I did counter-terrorism consulting with.”
That quote “He doesn’t need a lab. He needs pigs,” came directly from a dude with some dead scary security clearance.

The Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit (CRCB), which provides $500 per week for up to 26 weeks per household for workers unable to work for at least 50 per cent of the week because they must care for a child under the age of 12 or family member because schools, day-cares or care facilities are closed due to COVID-19, or because the child or family member is sick or required to quarantine or is at high risk of serious health implications because of COVID-19.
The Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB), which provides $500 per week for up to a maximum of two weeks, for workers who are unable to work for at least 50 per cent of the week because they contracted COVID-19, self-isolated for reasons related to COVID-19, or have underlying conditions, are undergoing treatments or have contracted other sicknesses that, in the opinion of a medical practitioner, nurse practitioner, person in authority, government or public health authority, would make them more susceptible to COVID-19.
The Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB), which will provide eligible workers with $500 per week for up to 26 weeks for those who have stopped working and who are not eligible for EI, or had their employment/self-employment income reduced by at least 50 per cent due to COVID-19.
However, the three new COVID benefits will be subject to 10 per cent withholding tax at source, such that a $500 benefit is $450 net, tweeted Jamie Golombek, managing director of tax and estate planning at CIBC in Toronto.
….
Ngl, the 10% withholding tax is a good thing, because it will function a little more like income, and lessen the amount of tax owing in April, especially for people who have also claimed CERB/CESB, which had no tax withheld.
