John Ivison: Ottawa set to cancel $2-billion in EI training transfers to the provinces

Well that’s good and dandy isn’t it. Cancel this, cancel that, move this here, move it there, and pretty soon you’ve got a full time magician pulling rabbits out of thin air or hats.

Mind you if I thought all this business about E.I. did any good, I would have played my cards differently last summer in Calgary in the hopes of landing some cushy training with E.I. program to work in the oil fields or something like that.

Better yet, when I first was exploring options from Ottawa, I almost decided on doing a full time welding course at the new Taj Mahal Algonquin College Trades building on Woodroff. I even a a tour of the facility in March 2012. Very dandy digs.

After all is said and done between say Oct 19 2011 and Fast forward to NOW, with all the Social Engineering models that I’ve seen to stick it to me from a direct point of view to right up my ass, I would say anyone going to University or College doing fancy programs and hoping somehow they’ll manage to pay their astronomical debt loads after finishing school, never mind graduating are in for the surprise of their lives.

Rude awakening is what they’ll get and no way out of having to pay that debt while holding Tim Hortons and MacDonald jobs. I can say I’m further ahead not having done the stupid thing and enrolled in full time studies looking for the same jobs those with smarts and degrees doing the same.

So are the Oil Sands looking for workers ? Yes ! Are they looking for you with all those fancy pieces of paper? No ! Why, because the system is setup to put whoever gets hired into make believe Disney Land positions thinking they’ve got it made. In the meantime once they get into trouble somehow, they get screwed royally with more than a foot up their asses to boot and prove it.

Am I cynical. Not at all. For sure there are a few good men, but they’re so busy keeping their heads above water just managing workloads that whatever is going on around them just goes in one ear and out the next. They haven’t got a clue what’s going on. I’ll be the first after all these years to say I was one of them. I suspected something was going on, Bells and Whistles and Lights Flashing, but I couldn’t pin it down.

Now I know exactly without a doubt. So if you ask me am I worried about money not making it to provinces in the form of E.I. payments. Nope. The kind folks at CMC stairs shuffled the deck around due to marching orders and canned me 1/2 day before I could have qualified for E.I. So the eventual burden came down to as usual to Work Fare due to get this, my landlord not paying me for work rendered and getting sick in the process. He insisted that the rent got paid. So I applied for emergency rent money – no choice. Went back to work in the process, but pinched a leg nerve while working(my fault here, but not intentionally) and back out of work market.

Still waiting for February’s Alberta Works payment being March 5. Filed the required income report for January, February 5. Filed the February income report, February 28 as requested. Still waiting.

I WANT PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION TRAINING and I WANT WORK but I’m NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR IT. There is NO WAY IN HELL, I’m going to spend any of my little amount of training only to get myself Fucked into a corner. Like working as a contractor – put it on paper as my dear old DAD would have counseled. Wise advice I decided to take up after October 19, 2011. See Children’s Aid Society played the same game with plenty of help.

So, if there are hand-outs with 100 % guarantees of plush jobs, I’m first in line. Otherwise, give all the E.I. money to homeless shelters and funeral parlors. It’ll be more practical and we can bury the dead more efficiently and speed.

Poeple want me to make money, get a Life and work. I fully agree. But I’m not going there with a 10 foot pole to get the Life sucked out of me by a corrupt system.

Ain’t gonna happen and I’ll make sure of it. Got other plans. Law School. At the very least, I’ll dish out the same B.S. that’s been shovelled down my throat and up my ass all these years.

And I have a backup plan for the backup plan. The good old days of being Mr. Nice Guy are history. Lesson learnt, now it’s a whole new ballgame and the rules have now changed. Master NRGY = Master your Destiny and the fate of those who thought they could get away with murder.

Two can play this game, Actually, me, myself, I and all those other’s I’ve managed to split myself into. That’s close to 7 billion and counting. Someone will get the job done, it’s a question of time now.

Good luck with that monopoly money being spread thin.

BTW, guess I’ll have to call the Foodbank once more since money has failed to show up in my bank account via direct deposit or check which apparently 2 conflicting versions have it been cashed but no word on who cashed it yet.

So, in the meantime stay tuned, cause I want to see how our tax dollars are being used, being government’s fiscal year ends and all.

Makes very interesting news stories at the very least.
