EI isn't an eternal gift for the unemployed.

Its essentially a stop gap measure. A bridge. You paid into it - or you will in the future - and in a critical moment, you can benefit from those savings. The understanding is always there that it ends at some point and what you do in making use of your time before the end point is up to you. I'm very much in favour of EI in that context.

I worked picking rocks out of a field by hand on hot, dusty July days. I installed asbestos, before it was a bad thing, for a lying, crap boss. You plow ahead and overcome the obstacles.

But nobody owes you a perpetual living.
