Anyone who's ever tried to qualify for unemployment benefits in Canada since 1996 knows that it's a huge scam. The hundreds of dollars taken off our paychecks never make it back into our pockets - or those of our fellow workers.

Still, it's madding to see how much we're being robbed of on a national level.

The way I see it that's $54 BILLION dollars that the state stole from us and we need to take it back.

Remember that when a politician tells you that they can't fund social programs like health-care, public transit, or build social housing and call them the liars and thieves that they are.
