IMPORTANT SURVEY ALERT. There is big trouble for Canada's rent relief program. In our survey, only 19% say their landlord is likely to sign up for it. The provinces need to declare a moratorium on commercial evictions to save #CECRA. #SaveSmallBusiness 
This landlord response is a tragedy, since small businesses are saying the rent subsidy is BY FAR the most important program that has been rolled out to date. 67% said #CECRA was most important, vs. 24% for the #CEBA loan and only 9% for the #CEWS wage subsidy.
A #CECRA rent subsidy that work would literally save our local communities. 54% of small business owners say it would save them from permanent closure. 43% say it would make a big difference. Only 3% (!) say they sure to survive either way.
Bill Morneau said the #CEBA loan was for "the local restaurants, the corner coffee shops, the small travel agencies, the salons and barbershops ... the very backbone of Canada's economy."

For reasons no one can explain, businesses require at least $50K in payroll to qualify for the loan. Unless there's a secret reason for this, it displays a shocking misunderstanding about how local small business works. 2/7 #CEBA #covid19Canada
Barbershops, for example, are often organized as a collective of individual barbers, where the barbers either rent chairs or are paid a % of revenue as contractors. Owners will pay themselves dividends. So, payroll is zero, and they won't qualify for this loan. 3/7 #CEBA
