It's about time! Good for them. It is illegal in Canada for any government service to show a profit.

This is yet another example of our "government" pandering after their corporate masters in that reducing UI benefits is an attempt at reducing labour costs.

How is it that this hasn't been an election issue? Gee, democracies dead maybe? The reduction of UI benefits was a closed door condition of NAFTA. Just like changes to health care and pharmaceuticals was promised three weeks before the last election (by the Liberals) but there wasn't a word about it from any party! During an election no less!

R.I.P. democracy.

Alibaba and the 90 thieves is a perfect characterization for these losers. I can remember 2005-6 campaigning by Harper, “GIVE US A CHANCE TO CLEAN OTTAWA FROM THE IMMORAL LEBERALS” While behind closed doors the Conservatives had their eyes on stealing money from the pension fund of all these workers to help fulfill election promises they new unless they cheat and steal they would not be able to fulfill, as well unfairly in secrecy making voters who never voted for these pigs to pay form their election over spending. And other issues which confirm that these pigs are far from snow white. It is so pathetic to see these idiots in power even with a minority.:angryfire::angryfire:

"In this year's federal budget, Ottawa announced the creation of an independent Crown corporation to manage future surpluses in the EI account, restrict use of the fund to EI benefits and limit premiums, while creating a cushion of $2 billion in a side account in case of a sudden economic downturn."

So, how is this not what the unions were demanding? Perhaps I'm simply misunderstanding what their complaint is, or what action they're demanding.

They want their hard earned cash back and that is why they are in the Supreme Court today trying to get the misappropriated funds back in the tune of $30B. This is not one union only there is many people afected by this scam.
