Thanks so much!

We Are All Essential is a Canada-wide network locking arms in united non-compliance to end lockdowns and other unjustified restrictions across our country.

STATS
Only 22% of biz across Canada seeing normal sales volumes
65% Canadian businesses operating at a loss
8 of 10 restaurants losing money or barely scraping by.
7 out of 10 biz took on debt this past year at an average of $170,000
Most businesses don’t quality for grants and even if they do, 10-20k is a drop in the bucket given the leases and other overhead they have been carrying.
1/4 million businesses at risk of bankruptcy 3 million jobs will be lost if they do go under
