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.

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.

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...
