Its not the total solution, but its a start. As I've said, and reiterated many times, the private sector cannot be expected to bare the burden alone in regards to wage decreases and job losses.
Isn't that the case with most jobs on Alberta though? We have a higher wage than most other provinces but it's also more expensive to live here than most other provinces.

And reading aboUT people wanting EI extensions is laughable. People have almost a year to find work, if they can't find work in that time frame then an extra 6 months isn't going to help them. It's laziness.
