I don't know about you but I find it very offensive and questionable as to why the Conservative government would insist that employees pay premiums toward UI then make it extremely difficult to qualify for a program that you paid into.
What are the Harper seals doing with the overage. Are they using it to finance corporations? Or are they buying down their bungled deficit?
The over 50 crowd should be living in fear of the Reform-a-Cons subjecting them to a means test when they apply for their pensions while the younger workers will find that they are required to go to corporate insurers for their medical insurance.
