IT WASN'T FREE MONEY: Now CRA Is Coming To Get It

Government help isn’t help — it’s a conditional loan with a delayed audit. Six years after CERB was rolled out during the pandemic, the Canada Revenue Agency is clawing back billions from Canadians who were told to apply, encouraged by employers and unions, and now face retroactive reassessments, interest, and penalties. This episode exposes how CERB clawbacks are happening, why they were always inevitable, and what this means for future rebates like EV incentives, grocery rebates, and carbon credits.Using real cases reported by CTV News, including Canadians now owing tens of thousands of dollars years later, we break down how government support programs are enforced like tax law, why eligibility rules change after the fact, and what your rights are if the CRA comes after you. If you think government help is free, safe, or final — this episode is a must-watch.If you’ve received a clawback notice or are worried about future rebates, comment “CLAWBACK” below and share this video with anyone who still believes government money comes without strings.CTV Article: https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/canadians-express-frustration-as-cra-claws-back-cerb/
