No Government Loan for CFL in 2021

And yet the govt has no problem sending $10 million tax payers dollars to India but won't give the CFL a break?

The government has given the CFL much more than $10m in 2020 and will again in 2021.

I'm not that surprised. It's probably the first issue created by the non-stop fake money printing. One of the great things I found about moving to Norway is the ease of dealing with banks and getting loans as well. Of course, I still miss California, but the economic structure and rules over financing a business here are incredible, and I have made a significant breakthrough so far. Not sure if you're aware of collective loans and how hard they can be to get in other places around the world. Well, not in Norway, as I was able to do it online with https://www.långuide.se/foretagslan/ in one day without any significant obstacles.

You got it ! Humanitarian aid and loans to the CFL are an apples and oranges argument . The federal government can and should do both .

I am torn on this issue. The CFL is losing money big time because they can’t play football and fans not allowed in the stands. Fans are not allowed in the stands because of a government decision not a league decision to shut down.
But the NHL could also say the same thing.
Our local golf course had to shut down and lost money too, so did our local marina, so did the local tennis club, curling club, so many sports/recreation shut down because of the government and they all deserve a bail out or financial support.
It’s all or nothing, taxpayers can’t fund everything.
All the government can do is give the employees that have paid their taxes, EI etc, the financial support that they are entitled to receive.

the non-stop fake money printing.

So you’re saying that our governments shouldn’t help people cope with all the affects of Covid . The world is up to it’s neck in this scourge and you are worried about a “balanced budget” . Thanks for sharing the Canadian Taxpayers Federation view . Of course the CTF is supported by right wing money like the Koch Family and surprise , surprise , the CTF pays no Canadian taxes .

You know, I am not that sure actually, however I would say that CFL wasted another year chasing an interest free loan, and that is pretty sad, so I do agree with mahalcflers in here. I have also done this "mistake" of waiting to get a free loan from the government back in the day when I was still running my own business, and you know, I never got that loan. At last I had to call for https://www.nationalbusinesscapital.com/business-loans/asset-based-lending/ services, and get a asset based loan, as it was the best solution at that time.

Considering the league is moving forward with the season with no government loan happening, I think whatever they we're discussing is moot now.
