   Don't be a ridiculous fool.   
      
   Of course there will be many millions of people NOT on EI when the gouging   
   businesses such as HONDA Canada, Bumbardier and the like go under..   
      
   Those of us who had sense to buy in the USA whatever was a better deal, will   
   just continue to do so.   
      
   Let the gougers go bankrupt, the sooner the better.
