    This sends a message (add it to the giant pile of them) to the world that Canada is easily exploitable. Come here illegally, stay long enough and we’ll give you a free ride.

      came to Canada in 1997 on a temporary work permit. Although his permit expired after four years, he never left.

      He was able to support himself by working cash jobs until 2023

      [applied] last fall

      I’d say 26 years working and trying to find work for 2+ more years is long enough for EI benifits. MPs get a pensions after only 6 years.

      Judging by your incredibly racist comment, you currently lack the mental capacity to read more than a sentence.

      …he had come to Canada in 1997 on a temporary work permit. Although his permit expired after four years, he never left.

      He was able to support himself by working cash jobs until 2023 when he entered the homeless shelter system, he told the tribunal.

      2026-1997 = 29

      Twenty-nine years of work. That is not a free ride dumbass. Actually read the article before you share your racist viewpoints, and then please do share them so we can clown on you.

      Even if they weren’t working, one would have to ask, why not? Is it actually malicious, or something else? All in all, how can we help them become someone who can sustain the capacity to help others?
