If you live in Toronto and lose your job don't count on getting any help from the federal government's once-proud employment insurance program.

Jobless in almost every other major Canadian city — even those with lower unemployment rates — have a better shot than Torontonians at qualifying for benefits, according to a new study by a coalition of business, non-profit and labour groups to be released today

If I am not missing some important point to notice, EI is not welfare. Then why EI is being discussed in that context. Please clarify it if I am wrong in feeling so.
