You matter.






all govt. work ..by definition..is useless......not blaming Fash...she is probably very good at what she does......the question is ...do we need that position filled by someone paid using public money.....i say hell no

There are days I stay past my regular seven and a half hours because I have too many tasks to complete..



If my job is so useless than who is going to do my work if my position was terminated?

the correct answer is........nobody....govt. jobs were created by busybodies who want to increase the size of their kingdom within govt........those departments, positions and tasks should all be eliminated...they are unnecessry

i say eliminate EI first.....the commie conservative government spends 20 billion a year taken from people who arent too lazy to work.....any hippy too lazy to work should be stripped of citizenship and shipped off to north korea

You are speaking my language here Romero. However, I would be happy to simply to turn it into a REAL insurance program. Higher premiums for repeated users and next to nothing for people like myself who will never use it. Our so-called "conservative" government hasn't got the balls to make a real conservative change though.

agree with both of you....why the federal govt. is involved in an insurance program in which no govt. money is at stake is beyond me.....except of course we know they steal untold billions each year to fund other useless govt. programs.....funds which should be left in the plan to increase payment to legitimate claimants like me......it is the one program that does what it is intended to do.

and yes all govt. employees and wasters of tax payers money should be shipped to north korea..perfect solution

I could end government largesse, eliminate the debt and drastically reduce the size of all government departments by making voting a privilege, not a right. It is absolutely immoral that government takes money from people like you and I to bribe sleazebags who never contribute. Replace universal voting and the pandering train screeches to a halt.

Of course you conveniently have no problem with a government program that pays you to sit on your ass. You are not a legitimate claimant. You're supposed to be looking for and getting work. EI is a safety net for ensuring people have food and shelter between jobs.



It is not a paid vacation.



I'd think you'd have a little more respect for the very workers who are paying you to sit on your ass and bitch about them.

You matter.

It probably is a necessary job, but should it be unionized? It only seems fair that workers in the private sector should be allowed to collectively bargain for a share of the profits they created. That isn't the case with the private sector. You have workers demanding more and a government that is frightened of public sector union power at the table. Their is nobody at the table to represent the people who must pay for any additional costs? This is just one reason why the public sector should not be allowed to collectively bargain.

sorry Homy...EI is a non-govt. insurance program funded by employers and employees...i pay my premiums every pay period and collect when the greedy corporation i work for lays me off every fall.....some east indian guy came by from the main EI office last winter and told me i had to take a job in the city over 100 kilometers away...i told him i would be happy to go to work there if he found me  transportation back and forth (the bus only runs from here to the city two times a week)...he left and i never heard from him again.....i don't suspect i will have any problems this winter...i've figured out a way to leave the country and bypass there reporting requirements so i think we will spend a lot of time in vegas this winter and use my EI to bankroll my table stakes.....did i mention i love this country
