Thanks @steeletalk for having #CFIB on to talk! Government doesn't always get it right, especially when Orders pick "winners" and "losers". Glad to see businesses like @RioTheatre findings ways to reopen, & hoping BC Gov can look at wording of Orders to maximize fairness.

If you can't beat em - join em. Frustrated by BC COVID restrictions forcing theatres to close while bars stay open - the @RioTheatre throws in the towel & plans to reopen this Saturday as a sports bar. @CKNW

@LavigneTavern

Well that’s frustrating as fuck. Go online to apply for @fordnation business Covid grants and after jumping through all the hoops I get the system is down error msg #fail #cfib

The Canadian economy is recovering, but how fast it recovers depends on vaccination rates. For many #businesses, waiting is not an option. Here are 3 ways #businessowners can increase cash flow for their businesses:

@GreenFlowFIN

#CFIB estimates over 160,000 #businesses will close due to new lockdown restrictions. According to @CFIB ' #debt is going to choke the life out of many businesses.'

#BusinessOwners do have #debtmanagement options:

The number of "zombie businesses" struggling with unclear prospects is mounting

@cfibsk

#CFIB thanks @PremierScottMoe for meeting to discuss #smallbiz pre-budget priorities for the upcoming 2021-22 Saskatchewan Budget & what other measures are needed to help small businesses recover.

@cderbs

And, where is #CFIB at?
Right here 👇🙄

@perksentangled

Dan Kelly likened what Canadian small business *CAN'T* handle right now to "a strong wind" #cdnpoli #CFIB 💀🚨

@CFIB

CFIB has just received confirmation that Ontario small retailers are now prohibited from leaving a product on the doorstep of a consumer after 8 pm. Restaurant deliveries after 8 pm are ok. Yep, that's where we are at.

@jamiepenner

Hey #CEBA recipients, don’t forget that you need to claim the forgiven portion of the loan as income in the year you received the money. #cfib

@QuirkyForum

Another #CFIB 50th Anniversary story. CFIB broke even in 1972 after 15 months, but not big enough to pay me a salary. Started an entrepreneurship research center at Ryerson University. Goal. Teach #Entrepreneurship at colleges and #universities across #Canada. Successful.

Here's a fun #CFIB story. 1971. Crawled over desk to get to chair. Members supplied old furniture. Member called. "Do you need a secretary?" She was excellent but kept falling asleep. She was also a private dick taking photos at night of couples coming out of motel rooms.

@QuirkyForum

Another #CFIB story. Had the highest public profile in #Canada in 1971, but facing failure. Up at 3:00 am. Mary asked what's wrong? "If I could only figure out how to get our revenues up to $2000 a week, I think we will have created a company." I did but not alone.

@SharaVigeant

And I have to give another shout out and thank you to @cfibAB of CFIB who reached out and investigated the SME grant issues for me. #CFIB has been working hard for us small businesses. Scared to think where I would be without their support. @CFIB

More #CFIB. I bought our first building in 1972 with my father providing a mortgage. Our tenant was Ted Rogers (Rogers Stadium). No cash to travel to Ottawa, so Ted and I created a cable interview show that brought the politicians to me. It was called "Bullseye Ottawa".

@QuirkyForum

@evoLEASEtion @cfibsk @CFIB In 1977, when I knew CFIB was going to a strong national voice, I started to hire permanent staff based on the telephone messages on my desk. The biggest line of tabs was from members needing advice and support. Those Member Counsellors had to be highly qualified. #CFIB

@evoLEASEtion

@QuirkyForum @cfibsk Grateful like many Canadian entrepreneurs- @CFIB helped me several times on big issues over the years & has been invaluable to our clients during #COVID19 response period. 🙏🏻

@QuirkyForum

50 years ago I launched the #CFIB ( #Canadian Federation of Independent Business). Father ( #Toronto photo) guaranteed the lease, my operating loan, and slipped me money when I could not cover my mortgage. Today CFIB is helping #SmallBusiness survive the #pandemic.

@DRistimaki

@ctvwinnipeg Yes - they need the support of the community. It also keeps the $$ in the community rather than it leaving the country to go south of the border. #supportlocal #cfib #weneedsmallbusiness

@TrueNorth_Gal

@Mike30Trill @thereds8 Maybe the rich will take future risks in Covid19-impacted sectors, but can we expect to see regular Cdns spending their life savings, mortgaging their homes & giving up their full-time jobs for life as an entrepreneur after this?

I think it’s unlikely...

⁦@TorontoStar⁩ Really?? 9 mths of being shuttered & the events industry can’t even get a mention? Yoga studios? Hairdressers. But not trade/consumer shows. Conferences. Tens of thousands still out of work. Wow. #cfib #liveevents

Devastating news for small businesses who will be forced to close again for 28 days, while big box can stay open. share the love ❤️ shop local support our restaurants let’s help our community. #supportlocal #buylocal #Ottawa #cfib

@bacoprah

@CFIB As long as they can still pay their #cfib memberships you dgaf about the health and safety of workers and owners. Go have a Merry Christmas under what ever slimey rock you emerged from.

@CanadaUncle

@CFIB #CFIB Why is no mention made of what small business considers abuse inflicted on them by MPAC? Why is no-one helping us, speaking for us? We don't have a problem paying our share, but now we are paying more twice as much as can be expected from us. Tell MPAC to back off!

@cfibsk

Thanks to the many #farmers who became new #CFIB members or renewed their membership in 2020! Our hard working field staff have been busy this year sharing #CFIB’s work on the business issues of agriculture. #inspiring #CdnAg #WestCdnAg #OntAg @mgpaquette @KentMcDougall

#CFIB is urging all Saskatchewan residents to choose to shop small whenever they can this holiday season. Every day & action counts. Think #SmallBusinessEveryDay and check out the amazing local small businesses in your community.

@smilingsam1

Even though BC is not in a lockdown situation, restrictions are having a serious impact on small businesses. We hear this from our retail members as well. Please support local, if you need ideas check out #smallbusinesseveryday #cfib

@cfibsk

#CFIB data also shows #farmers on average pay almost $14,000/yr in federal carbon taxes. Hopeful news that MPs from the Liberal, New Democrat and Bloc Quebecois parties expressed support for Bill C-206.
