Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government will not allow companies that use offshore tax havens to receive COVID-19 bailout funds.

During the House of Commons’ first virtual sitting Tuesday, Trudeau was pressed by the Bloc Québécois to prevent companies that don’t pay their fair share of tax from benefitting from government aid.

Last week, under repeated questioning from both the BQ and NDP, Trudeau had refused to make the same commitment, saying that his government would not withhold wage subsidies from a worker just because of the behaviour of their employer.

1. I want to cry when I see stuff like this.

Because I know that is exactly who our bailouts are going to first. Those with tax havens who underpay their workers and cut them as soon as they get yet another chunk of money from the government so they don't have to share the wealth with the people they 100% depend on to make it happen. Yeah billionaires, you would be nowhere without us "plebes" making, selling and buying your shit.
