SO AM I......I work for myself and finding work, additional contracts, selling my work, promoting my work is A FULL TIME JOB with no hope of CPP, EI EI OOOOOO, subsidized anything (god I NEED new glasses big time and a teeth cleaning and Xray) and add to that mix other issues which some on this board know about?

I am fu*king FED UP with having to even look at those who crowd the sidewalk in front of the hellfare office who do not look like they are hurting smoking their cigarettes, stinking of booze, in some cases dressed in new FUBU duds......

Fuggedaboudit......to hell with it.....to hell with it all.

Having a program that's supposed to help people get training and education isn't much use if it's not structured in a way that will actually be effective at getting training and education to the people who need it. Providing 'something' is different from providing the correct thing. The programs are mostly setup by the same government that makes this flawed EI system. So what are the odds that they messed up unemployment so badly, but managed to do a good job on the other programs mean to deal with the same issue?

I believe we have too many agencies which work at cross purposes and are loaded with redundancies. I say get rid of them all, and pour all that money into the sandbox and her members.

Seriously, we need to reduce the agencies to a well considered few.
