People collect CERB rather than working

I say “boo” to the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit.

Get rid of it!

There are still too many Canadians who are taking advantage of this governmentissued ongoing relief program.

With well over a year and four months gone since implementing this, our government elects and decides not to keep better tabs on those totally capable of working, but who simply choose not to.

How do I personally know?

I operate a very respectable and bestranked and best-reviewed moving help service in Kelowna and finding new, good help is as painful as getting two teeth pulled at the same time by a dentist.

There are barely any takers on job postings.

I did my due diligence by offering a starting wage higher than most other moving outfits in Kelowna.

And with so many orchards needing help, and not many applying to prune or pick, this only proves my point more.

The service industry is also finding it nearly impossible to hire cooks and servers.

In Kelowna, so many are just plain lazy and want to take advantage of more free money when they are totally capable of working.

Some cannot work, yes, and I get that and some have no experience in certain fields. But many are just sitting home watching movies, shows on Netflix and playing video games.

All the while, they complain they don’t have enough money. I hear this lots in my field.

So I say get rid of CERB or we will never be able to pay this grand amount back to recuperate our losses.

For those on CERB, the time is now to get out there and start looking for work and taking less advantage of this CERB that should have been put to rest long ago.

It is only hurting our country and economy now.

Get it together Canada!

Get it together Kelowna!
