the amount of hoops someone who needs EI has to go through to get it in this country is mind boggling. It's easier to get the pennies you get from Ontario Works in Ontario than it is to get EI and you pay directly into EI. and BOTH will battle with you to get you off them.

it's shameful that this country will fight it's citizens tooth and nail to prevent assisting them in their time of need.

I had no problem getting EI for the 10 months I was unemployed. The company went "bankrupt". No notice, no severance, but the ~1200 every 2 weeks was helpful.
