I think that Flarehty probably mispoke a bit, but the opposition took that ball and ran.
However to me they do have to look at how reasonable is the persons effort to get off of EI and find a job, and is he refusing a job that might be a little junior or a bit outside of his normal zone of comfort because he wants a dream job?

Well we can only go by what he said. If you have any additional information that leads you to believe he misspoke, feel free to share it and clear up the misunderstanding.
And "the opposition took that ball and ran?" I haven't seen any opposition posting here, just people wondering what he means and relaying the fact that yes, there are some pretty crappy jobs. Myself, I sold vacuum cleaners door to door, manually collated coupons for a coupon book, and worked for a dead stock removal company. There are some really (REALLY) bad jobs.
I agree that you shouldn't jump to conclusions, but to make a statement like that and then not explain how they are looking at implementing such a policy is just asking for doomsayers to fill in the missing information.
