晕船小贴示
做了一次船有了些晕船的小贴示同大家分享：
1：船颠簸的时候尽量到船的中间部分呆着，避免在船头或船尾。
2：船上会有“青苹果”（在自助餐的地方），和“苏打饼干”（在船的大堂），这对晕船有好处。
3：尽量不要吃油腻的食物。
4：船上都会备有晕船药，问客房服务就可以了。

一本好书-South of 49 (The Canadian Guide to Buying Residential Real Estate in The United States)
这是我最近读的一本书，是关于加拿大人如何在美国买房。
蛮喜欢这本书的，作者用故事的形势普及加拿大人再美国买方时，在选定、购买、交易过程中的知识。而且此书的语言比较浅显，不用老是查字典。
在图书馆里就能借到，所以在这里推荐一下。

自雇人士也将能享受EI
The Government of Canada delivers Employment Insurance fairness for the self-employed
TORONTO, ONTARIO, November 3, 2009—The Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, today announced that the Government of Canada has introduced the Fairness for the Self-Employed Act, legislation that would extend Employment Insurance (EI) special benefits, including maternity, parental, sickness and compassionate care benefits, to the self‑employed.
“Our government knows that self-employed Canadians should not have to choose between their family and their business responsibilities,” said Minister Finley. “Extending access to these benefits is the fair and right thing to do. It is good family policy, and it represents one of the most significant enhancements to the EI program in the last decade.”
“The self-employed have had little or no income protection to cope with major life events, such as giving birth, caring for a newborn or newly adopted child, being sick or injured, or caring for a gravely ill family member,” added Minister Finley. “This government is now providing these Canadians with greater peace of mind with respect to their future financial security.”
This measure responds to the Government’s 2008 pledge to help provide improved economic security and support for all those who are self-employed. By introducing this legislation, the Government is delivering on, and in fact exceeding, its commitment. With these changes, self-employed Canadians would be able to voluntarily opt into the EI program and receive special benefits. Overall, the special benefits for self-employed individuals would mirror those currently available to salaried employees under the EI program.
“About 2.6 million Canadians are self-employed. The majority of them have long asked for this support, and our government is responding to this strongly expressed need,” said Minister Finley. “We think that the self-employed should have the option of getting the same income protection that salaried employees currently receive when it comes to major life events.”
This measure demonstrates that the Government continues to make responsive and responsible choices to support Canadians through the EI program. It is just the latest in a series of improvements the Government has already made to the EI program.
Through Canada’s Economic Action Plan, the federal government is helping those hardest hit by the economic downturn by providing longer EI benefits, more efficient service and support for training, while protecting jobs through Work-Sharing agreements. The Government has also frozen EI premiums for 2010 at the same rate as 2009.
Most recently, the Government introduced legislation to extend EI regular benefits for unemployed long-tenured workers, who are individuals that have paid EI premiums for years and made limited use of the program, and who now need additional support while they look for jobs in a recovering economy.
The Proposed Changes
Self-employed individuals who opt into the EI program would be eligible for special benefits available to regular salaried employees, including:
Up to 15 weeks of maternity benefits.
Up to 35 weeks of adoption benefits.
Up to 15 weeks of sickness benefits that may paid to a person who is unable to work because of sickness, injury or quarantine.
compassionate care benefits (6 weeks maximum), which may be paid to persons who have to be away from work temporarily to provide care or support to a family member who is gravely ill with a significant risk of death.
In order to take advantage of the program, individuals would have to opt in to the program at least a year prior to receiving benefits.
