In article <480env$l9i@berlin.infomatch.com>, john@infomatch.com (John Chapman) says: >I think the issue is that in effect you are denying freedom of movement >to the poor within the boundaries of Canada. And I think that is a crock! The poor and the Welfarians have as much right to travel across canada as the upper class folk. As to the Welfarians having the "right" to move into my community and start sponging off of the folks here, that's another story. Why should I have to foot the bill for some worthless do-nothings coming into my neighborhood and buying up all the beer, tv dinners, etc. >Perhaps the solution is to have the province of origin pay the first 3 months >rather than the taxpayers of the destination province. Not a bad idea at all! But first that province should make the Welfarian sign a document...that for his first three months dole, and some travel money tossed in as well...no point in having the Welfarian stealing his way all across canada...to stay out of the exiting province for a full decade. Hell, I'd contribute to that kind of plan in a minute. > >Generally I don't follow politics too much, but I am beginning to be of >the opinion that the poor are being squeezed simply because it is >possible to do so. The rich are able to defend themselves. Not at all. You have got it completely ass-backwards! It's been canada's Producers who have been so squeezed that they (and their money) are exiting this country. It's been the Losarian and Welfarian Class that have been excessively coddled. Now, it's just reality time..and you can hear the Losarians squealing, bleating and mewling from here. The Producers still haven't got much in the way of Champions...Klein is decent enough, and Harris..well, he's heading in the right direction, but I doubt if he will move fast enough to save that province. But, at least the Producers haven't got spiteful socialists at *every* turn... larry
