Who says Capitalism is dead?

"Well the first thing you know ol Kate's a millionaire...
Kinfolk said, 'Kate move away from there'...
Said, 'Sussex Drive is the place you oughta be'...
So she loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly...

Hills, that is. Foreign fools, movie stars."
And speaking of killing capitalism...
In a vote on an opposition motion in the House of Commons in March, the Liberals, Bloc and NDP also supported getting rid of the two-week waiting period, allowing the self-employed to participate in the EI plan and expanding payments from 55% of your best work weeks to 60%.

What this would do in essence is give some Canadians 52 weeks of EI payments for 9 weeks of work. Someone who worked during July and August could get EI payments until the end of the next summer.
