- I look at it in the other direction. It's Ralph Klein's fault that we don't pay for that here. - Reagen Jan 25, 08:16 1
  - Still doesn't change the fact that Ants in Alberta are being forced to pay for Grasshopper lifestyles elsewhere. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 25, 08:18

  - This is a complete misconception of how our system works though. People view it as "helping get everybody to a certain standard", but it doesn't.... - Name Withheld By Request Jan 25, 08:17 8

      - Exactly. Why bother having a society at all, if your ultimate goal is to abandon every individual and make them fend for themselves? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 08:28 3

        Because let's not actually address the inequalities in the system if we believe in our hearts that it is working fine as is. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 25, 08:34
      - Fair enough, but you should know that the lifestyle differences between different provinces are not as great as in the States. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 25, 08:27 2
        
        Without noble intentions, there is no point in attempting good governance. -- nm - David Jan 25, 08:29 1
        
        I kind of like this thread -- nm - Guigue Jan 25, 08:30
