THAT DOES SEEM HARSH BUT THERE ARE PLENTY COULD BE DONE BY THE PEOPLE ON THE DOLE AS WAS SAID,PLENTY OF STREETS WITH WEEDS,GRAFITTI ON WALLS,PLAY AREAS COULD BE SMARTENED UP
WITH PAINT AND MENDED AS WELL,THERE LOTS COULD BE DONE BY THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE DOLE FAR TO LONG,SOME ARE GENUINE CASES OTHERS JUST WAIT FOR THEIR GIRO EVERY TWO WEEKS.WHAT ABOUT THE STREAMS AND RIVERS THAT FULL OF OLD JUNK GET THEM CLEANED UP.

And what part of Canada would this be? Alabama? There is no national system of welfare in Canada; funding for welfare, in most cases, is a Provincial responsibility and the delivery of the services is the task of municipalities.

This all boils down to one fundamental question:
Is it right for people to claim from the state whilst offering nothing back, in other words for them to live off the rest of us?

Sickness and family problems are not intended to be included in the above

In some cases yes. I have ploughed a shed load of money into the state, even without my family circumstances, I think I have more than earnt my right to have access to a decent welfare system.

The proposed changes will affect a few thousand, a drop in the ocean. If the Government wanted to seriously change things, they would look outside the box instead of hitting out at those that soceity looks down on anyway.

Why should the self employed be penalised?
You are working the doleys aren't,that is the issue.
Nobody should be penalised except the work shy.
