I’m not weighing in here for our against the posted issue however EI payments are weekly not monthly. When I was on paternity leave the high end of those payments was ~560 per week and paternity leave payments are equal to other forms of unemployment.
Again, I’m not bothering to read the article, or do the digging if this person is eligible. I’m just advising that I think you might be off on the total value that could be received.
A single person on Ontario Works receives a maximum of $733 per month ($343 for basic needs + $390 for shelter). A couple receives up to $1,136 per month .
easily exploitable? do you even KNOW how much a person on Ontario Works can get? ESPECIALLY SINCE HE’S HOMELESS?
HEY EVERYONE IN THE WORLD, COME GET YOUR FREE $343 A MONTH FOR 6 MONTHS!!!
fucking idiot.THAT is how much a homeless person in Ontario gets a month from Ontario Works. $343. that’s it. a month.
that’s enough for MAYBE a few days worth of food for a homeless person. How do I know? I lived it.

Ah yes, because the only cost they have every month is food. Literally nothing else, just food

It’s not EI, he can’t get EI cause he never had a real job. he’s getting Ontario Works which, again, is paid monthly and is $343 a month…
No, they’re right. EI is different from welfare
