From April 2020 to June 2022, Masse received more than $41,000 in government benefits — only to later get a letter from the Canada Revenue Agency saying he wasn’t eligible for the money, and that he had to pay it back.

According to the CRA, Masse did not meet the minimum net earnings of $5,000.

“I was stunned. I couldn’t believe it,” said Masse. “I would have never applied for anything that I did not qualify for.”

In early 2024, after months of back and forth, the CRA agreed he was entitled to some of the money. But he remains on the hook for about $27,000.

    Full stop doesn’t follow a question mark

    What a weird and absolutely pointlessly insignificant thing to complain about.

      I’m just being petty cause they came into a thread and made a stupid pointless complaint about “grammar”

      I personally don’t give a shit, but if they’re going to come at people for grammar, at least fucking know how to do grammar in the first place, y’know?

      Personally, I think Prescriptivism is only applicable on formal contexts, where people can’t just be like “what did you mean there btw?” in places where funky grammar makes shit unclear…

        To me it just looked like a common typo.
