  1. I’m one of the ones who has fallen through the cracks due to my current health situation. So I don’t qualify. Off work since last June, waiting for tests/results and no insurance. No coverage from unemployment due to me working a seasonal job (when I was working) no help through CPP because doctors haven’t determined what my health issue is YET.
    I’m going to be homeless at the end of this month.

    1. Kungflu Fighting : go talk to your Mpp, or your health provider, they may be able to direct you to help. I don’t know what province you are in, but in Ontario ( where I live) you can’t be evicted during this time. Also, contact your MP office, they may be able to help with your CPP claim. ( fast track it). Hope this helps!

      Stay safe, be well

  2. In this crisis Jagmeet has put forward the best and simplest plans to actually help the most Canadians. The power hungry and corrupt Liberals would never allow it. Hopefully the NDP get back the votes that the weak liar Justin got.

    1. Colin Cooper : the USA is doing it, under a republican administration! Go figure how the world works!

      Stay safe, be well

      Edit: typos

    2. Justin Trudeau’s Rocky Horror Picture Show, he runs and dances on the left, and then he takes a big jump to the right!

    1. LOL, I just this guy Tom make a random comment about that one price gouger guy in NY trying to sell PPE’s for 700% profit.

  3. I agree with it being a crisis fund that should be open to everyone. Make it simple and move on to the next tax season.
    We dont have the time to make things more complicated than they already are.

  4. Thumbnail totally baited and switched me, I was counting on getting to see a bright yellow Jagmeet turban instead of a royal blue Jagmeet turban.

  5. None of these clowns understand economics. A TEMPORARY UBI can be fine IF government expenses go down via firing over half the public service. It would make no sense to run a program that requires heavy administrative inputs. Temporary is key because inflation would increase market prices.

  6. I am homeless..at the moment I get $400 per month…trudeau will do nothing but supply the non Canadians ..and to trudeau..you say
    stay home…where is that? ? And
    ..don’t forget about the videos Justin. …you must really hate me by now….none the less..I still have all the evidence. ..I SAID HA HA.

    1. @Wer Rew I have no money..but I am not poor ..I get my daily bread..
      With out fail…as it was promised..

    2. @David Drane it is no for the job then. Of course you are not poor but getting only $400.00 per month get you your daylibread then be happy friend
      I thought it could give you more than just bread and been homeless

    3. @Wer Rew there is many city’s. .and there is an outside the city around everyone of them…
      What city are you outside of??

    4. @David Drane it ok i just gave the job to someone really need it by the way I am only 20 m away from the Capital city.

    5. @Wer Rew it would be a 17 hour drive there for me…would have to deal with crooked cops on the way there….I knew you would find someone real quick….it would not be safe…

  7. Also think about how much money is being spent processing all 3 million ei claims. Opening up the benefit to all would be a huge admistrative saving for canadians!
