  1. A programmer can not match the SIN in the applications when designing the software used to prevent discrepancies?

    1. Remember this is the government that can’t reliably manage their own payroll system. 5 years of the Phoenix catastrophe and it’s still broken.

  2. Time to get back to normal life Justin. All non political paid doctors are in agreement. They have data backed opinions. The ruse is up. No tracking vaccine this time. Cheers

  3. I applied for EI on March 31, still my request is under review. I am a single mom with no financial support. The EI phone number is not working. I don’t know what to do

    1. Just as Camden McInnis stated, the Cerb is for a quick response and to help immediately.

      At the beginning of March EI claims jumped from a few thousand to over a million (and has since grown as the months have gone on) – but it is a manual process to screen each candidate. Luckily they are back paying but hopefully CERB can get you by in the meantime until then.

    2. Ei phone number works, u just need to work hard to get thru. Start calling by 8:30, everytime it drops the call, keep calling back , when it asks for sin number, dont put it in, wait to go to main menu, press 0 .. keep doing this till u get music playing saying you are in que. i did this for in the mornings for two mornings and i got thru, but u meed to keep redialing many many times, i suggest a cell phone for quick redial

    1. Smith Wesson He can’t help it that is because he is programmed and he was nit taught to have critical thinking that would produce individualism

    2. The um’s and ah’s is his memories flash back of so many lies that he has to stall his thoughts or the truth will come out.

  4. How will I know that my employer applied for the subsidy? Who will let me know about it? The other thing is the difference in the amount of money I get from CERB and the payment I would get from my employer? Why????

  5. In four and a half years these Liberal incompetents have yet to fix the payroll system . Just try to imagine the scale of this impending fiasco.For the sake of all Canadians , the Libranos must go .

  6. If government employees had to live by the same standards as taxpayers covid would never exist
    Funny how the entire world opens up may4th but started a month later here

  7. Are we gonna get more protective masks in Canada??? Is the government working towards providing more masks for public?

  8. Right now I am on hold from my work cause I have a sick mother so I don’t want to risk getting sick … and I got the CERB will I have to return it ?

  9. What a dope!
    Spends all day hiding out in a mansion, pops out once a day to narrate a speach someone else wrote for him. Then stumbles through questions.
    So Brave! So Stunning!
