On the other hand though reducing taxes and spending less on services results in the community being impacted. In this case, if Canada hadn't stopped supplying PPE and stock piling it, early on there would have likely been more supplies available for long-term care homes and nurses which would have helped fight the spread and protect the vulnerable early on. Also, in theory going back to 15% GST instead of the 13% HST would bring back a lot of money to offset the CERB payments. It's tough because there doesn't seem to be a correct answer as if we do spend more money on government initiatives it goes to lobbying/bureaucracy/friends and family.
