Pogey is more money than CERB for most seasonal workers. It's quite easy to get your earning up to the point where you're making the equivalent of $55,000 a year working seasonally.
The real problem with CERB is they made it taxable income given out with no deductions so no one quite realizes just how little they're getting until next tax season.
It'll be quite interesting to see what happens when people who normally make, let's say $80,000 a year and who took 2 months off due to the shutdown realize that they're being taxed at $71,000 a year and that they owe two months worth of taxes.
I'll have my popcorn ready.
