Careful there, Mooron--the conservative PM might just take away that ripe
government tit you've been sucking upon.


Ah yes.... you folks in the USA don't understand the benefits of a "Minority
Government" ... do you? Did you know that there is actually way too much
money in the EI coffers.... has been for the last 6 years.... that's
right.... the coffers are bloated to the tune of billions of dollars.... not
millions.... the government has been using funds from it to supplement other
departments. They're giving it away and removed the stipulation that you
have to check in to pretend to look for work every week.

So I've been paying into the system for 30 years.... collected maybe a
year's worth in that time.... now I'm collecting more. There will be times I
collect less. It's called insurance... we have to pay it.... they have to
pay-out when appropriate. It's great... I work construction and there is no
work in that field during the "off-season".... EI comes in handy... buys my
beer and smokes!
