With CERB winding down, all some Canadians know for sure is that they won't have any income starting tomorrow

Benefits were paid up front, which won't be the case for Ilott and others in the first wave of those being transferred to the new system: The government says the first payment will come the week of Oct. 11. About 80 per cent are expected to receive payments by Oct. 14; a further 10 per cent within the first two weeks.

Anyone who applied for and received the CERB through Service Canada and is eligible for EI is supposed to be automatically transitioned over to employment insurance. The Liberals introduced a bill Thursday in the House of Commons that includes the CERB replacement, called the Canada Recovery Benefit, for everyone who doesn't qualify for EI.

"We just try to manage all the phone calls as quickly as possible and just walk people through the process and the steps," she said of the centre's work over the pandemic.

Get a job!!!

There are help wanted signs all over town here. No one is applying. Sad.

A lot of places hiring right now tbh, may not be the most ideal job but it’s better than not having one

Get a job?

You were supposed to get a job....

So...I manage a Recruitment Company in the GTA and have to say it’s not easy to just “get a job”. This whole mess has decimated entire industries, and to all you Boomers-this isn’t the 80’s anymore. Rolling your sleeves up and hitting the pavement with your CV in your hands 1/2

Alot of call center companies are hiring and most have gone to Remote positions meaning you can work at home

My work hiring but nobody wants to work because why get free 2k money from the government. CERB needs to stop.

Get a job!!!!!

There are 2 choices, a job or welfare. There is no need to replace the CERB.

How about getting a job!

Sick and tired? Really

What comes next? E.I.

Welfare time!!

Lots of work out there

I'm sick and tired of being forced to work my ass off to survive only to see more of my money redistributed to those who chose not to work; the entitled; the lazy; the addicted; and the stupid. Social assistance punishes those who contribute to society; rewarding those who dont.

Go get a job! So many places hiring right now!

What comes next is getting out there and finding a job. It can be done if you are willing to do whatever for whatever pay. But some just simply do not want to work.

I think everyone, employed or unemployed, is tired of not knowing what's coming next.

And those with no aid for 8 months have to die. Because of criteria.

Doesn't help when you can't access the full website for your information

Universal income setup....

They could... work. Just a thought. They may not be able to work in their field, but they can get a job. There are places hiring right now, especially essential businesses.

I can’t imagine trying to hire someone.

There are plenty of jobs out there! And possibly Second career opportunies. Local employment centre can help! We don’t need to bankrupt the country.

I'm sick and tired of supporting people that refuse to work

Sick and tired? Get a job, lazybones....

My heart goes out to the people that were enticed into becoming addicted to government handouts. Withdrawal is always painful, but ultimately best

Applying on the phone for CERB : CRA People who applied through SC got an e-mail/letter to tell them if they needed to apply or not. If you can't even remember where you did your report last week, the gov can't help. There's only so much that can be done.

You could go get a job... that's an option. justsaying

Go out and find a job? 🙄

Imagine if ‘work’ could fix ‘sick and tired’....

There are lots of jobs on indeed, Workopolis and LinkedIn. Apply.

Back to work, is what's next. TheTrudopeVacationIsOver

lol. who did you really speak to?

Just like the rest of Canadians... we are all tired of the Trudeau incompetence

This is patently false. The new program starts today and the civil service has been informing Canadians about the parameters of this program for weeks. cdnmedia cdnpoli

A job?

If CERB is ending, maybe its time to get back to work? Lots of people have been working all along.......

First of all the grammar in the headline is terrible! Second of all, open all businesses, no restrictions so people can get back to work! Simple!

It’s called.. get a job!!!

Get them jobs then! And stop creating non sense drama

We are hiring for all positions at our car dealership. People aren't even showing up for their scheduled interviews. 🤦🏻. Lots of jobs around.

CERB was a temporary solution and it wasn't focusing those who really need this money. It wasn't fair.

BasicLivingWage

One day CTV pushes narrative CERB is bad cause it is a disincentive to work, now that it's gone it leaves impression CERB is good and people don't know what to do Make up your mind.

Not true .... some are switching over to EI ... get it straight

I'm tired of working for you. Get a job.

It’s being this way since governments being give out money , people will not work.

Welcome to Canada: Money for Nothing & Cheques for Free.

What comes next - how about, go find a job!

Pssst. Go get a job.

Then 'some' of them should try and go back to the jobs they had before the government made it too easy to stay home.

Farms I believe need help

It's easier to work.

Was this not the plan all along? Give CERB cut it off and bankrupt or make the poor even poorer? How many of those that received CERB actually saved what they will be taxed next yr? Watch the foreclosures & once again the Rich will get Richer!!!

The people that are saying Get A Job are either trolls or Conservatives. Why is it that the internet jumped to call people frauds for taking CERB, yet the biggest fraudsters in our country are the rich?

Lots of companies I knew were looking for more employees throughout the entire pandemic... odd isn’t it?

Lots of work just need to get out there. it’s to easy to get a cheque handed to you

Lots of jobs going wanting. Time to get off the couch folks.

So time to get everyone back to work than

How about getting a damn job.

Thanks Canada for supporting me the first two months of this madness !!!!I’m back to business now. You can do it too! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙏🙏🙏

MILLIONS of jobs available. BC cant find enough workers to pick fruit , The fruit will ROT on the trees. Come to BC.

Wtf? CTVNationalNews. Haven’t you been reporting this trust between ndp and liberal_party to extend the replacement benefit indefinitely? No point using sensational headlines. Besides, there are jobs to be had.

There’s plenty of jobs out there and these people could’ve been working for months. The government made them dependent by just throwing money out.

Nobody says it, but of the 2.000 $ received, people have to give back more or less 400 $ of taxes (for each month). For the next income tax, April-May 2021, lots of people will be very mad ad Trudeau. Just watch it!

... unless they get a job like everyone else.

Oh and the economy is suddenly back to normal and booming?

Awwww

Get a job you lazy fucks

Get a dam JOB 🤷🏽‍♂️

I thought they were all getting the new ei? Fake news

Get a job there are loads of them

Honest question, are there still industries shut down due to the pandemic? I’m surprised people wouldn’t be able to work due to COVID at this point.

Get a job.
