#CERB

How is it that a 15 year old kid that works one shift a week at the local movie theatre is eligible for the #CERB But post secondary students that rely solely on seasonal income to pay bills and chip away at five figure student loans are not eligible? @JustinTrudeau

As students have recently learned, the majority of us are ineligible for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit. PLEASE contact your local MP letting them know this is unacceptable as student work is often seasonal and many of us have lost summer jobs. #CERB should be universal.

The fact that the canadian government specifically cuts out the entire student population from #CERB because they are seasonal workers is pathetic. Especially where they expect this to draw into the working season

#dontforgetstudents #CERB should be for all students. This is a once and a lifetime moment for the government of Canada to help students in this type of crisis

applying for any kind of Covid19 financial aid in Canada is fucking bullshit, whether it's #CERB or EI either give my parents money or don't but stop skirting around shit we've been waiting almost a week for an access code

Reading through all the endless comments,, you guys have left on our #CERB petition motives me to fight even harder for CERB to be amended. Thank you, everyone, for signing the petition, sharing the petition, and giving us a follow.

As someone who's been in university full time and only working unrecorded freelance gigs for the past year, I, like 1/3 of unemployed Canadians, am ineligible for EI or #CERB. Students, freelancers, stay-at-home parents, and countless others aren't eligible. We need UBI now.

Another potential #CERB issue is a clear avenue of relief for those who have lost significant income but are still receiving some pay. It's likely to be common for self-employed individuals to have some income, but not really enough to get by. #cdnecon

@CanadianPM college #Students dont qualify for the #CERB . I work hard April-Novemeber and go to school September-April. I made more than $5,000 and I work under the Ontario government. Where is the #collegestudents help? My jobs have fallen through. We are the future.

So as a self employed person making 10% of my income I can’t get #CERB . Which is absurd, I can’t live off 10% and I can’t cancel all my clients that have been loyal for years. Is the loop hole to bill everything on the 16th to 31st of the month? #COVID19Pandemic

We are the future of Canada’s labour force and we are being overlooked by the federal government’s #CERB - please consider signing this so that our voices are heard in the national dialogue. https://twitter.com/dontforgetstdns/status/1246158199784382464 …

Mature student. Took financial risk. Always employed spring and summer (see taxes). Need work to survive. Can’t get it. Can’t live in my apartment anymore. Can’t finish school. Can’t pay my bills. Not eligible for #CERB #dontforgetstudents

.@JustinTrudeau needs to address the concerns of hundreds of thousands of students, undocumented workers, freelancers, parents, homeless folks, and countless others ineligible for EI or #CERB. The Canadian government thinks of us as expendable. We want UBI now.

If I applied for EI and got refused for it because I didn't have enough insurable hours, can I apply for CERB? Or will I also be refused for CERB because I got refused for EI? I meet all the criterias for CERB, I'm not sure what will happen because I got refused for EI. #CERB

I have emailed my MP a coupe of times about what people who don’t qualify for #CERB or EI are supposed to do & I never got an answer. I know this is a busy time, but with non-answers, contradicting info & no relief in sight, I’m starting to believe the gov’t would rather me dead.
