From @JustinTrudeau this morning: EI claims reach 500k this week. By far the most ever recorded. #cdnecon
That 500k is ~2.6% of employment, which is the first confirmation we've had that March 2020 will be the largest employment drop in recorded Canadian history. Previous record was -2.6% for the whole of July 1932. We've reached that drop now in a single week.
@trevortombe @JustinTrudeau You basically have to zoom in to see 2008.
@trevortombe @PierrePoilievre @JustinTrudeau Trudeau will go down in history as the worst PM ever.
@trevortombe @MikePMoffatt @JustinTrudeau Anyone know if EI is hiring? 😂

@trevortombe @JustinTrudeau Wow. How long will it take to get through those? Hiring more staff?

@trevortombe @JustinTrudeau And this is only the tip of the iceberg.
