CERB is so necessary for some that losing it caused suicidal thoughts in many and this is what the Toronto Star comes up with?
Fuck off with this shit. Seriously. It's offensive.

In researching my book, I came across no evidence at all that CERB is causing a hiring crisis. I can't wait to read this and see what the CFIB says.
And the frame -- that EI "spoils" workers -- @RosaJSaba are you trying to be insulting to people who are desperate or did you just not think about this too much?
I will live tweet my reaction reading this garbage.
1. the whole article is based around the tweet of a random journalist who gave no citations, nothing to indicate she has anything more than rumours started by employers -- great start.

(Sorry I am also baking tea biscuits)
2. bwaahaaha Saba quotes the CFIB right off the smash. Can we *please* be less predictable?
3. wow, the CFIB is being fashioned as a pro-worker voice in this piece? And "a recent survey..." let me guess, was it one of the CFIB's weekly surveys that has driven small business coverage since March 2020? We don't know, at least yet in this piece...
4. Ahaha that's it. That's the story.
Here are things that if this were journalism, would have been mentioned --
1. That CRB pays people less than minimum wage and is not exactly a disincentive to make even a minimum wage job.

2. The CRB is basically expiring and will give people even less.
3. That we are still living in a pandemic and employers don't care about this and want people to jump back into their jobs, as if nothing in the past 16 months has changed

4. What are the wages that these anti-CERB voices paying their workers? Without this piece, we learn nothing useful about their approach to being bosses.
And
5. What about the CEWS, which unlike CERB is still handing tons of money over to the private sector ... and ..

which CFIB has advocated for and where no public announcements of widespread corruption have been made but we do know that CEWS is being given to Canada's wealthiest corporations and not a single CEWS-related tweet has triggered the Toronto Star to write about it....
Anyway I could go on but to only quote the CFIB as a source on CERB is total fucking propaganda. Great work.
