US system is far ahead of what Trudeau/Horgan announced (and rightfully so)...CERB vs COVID stimulus checks alone we're getting about 1/3 of our US counterpart per capita... 3400usd for the average family on top of their EI that's extended to more people and boosted by 600usd/wk
the CERB 360usd/wk excludes essential workers/students & new grads
BC emerg benefit for workers 700usd but sign up for our email to get more updates!
BC rental assistance 'will post eligibility in a day or 2' since a week ago
