Hmm I still think that it is not right to do that. That might lead to abuse of
the health care system by people who never even paid taxes here. Someone has to pay
the bills... Unfortunately.
If you suffer so much in your country that you only want to give birth in Canada, why do you go back? It can't be all that bad there then... I would be more impressed if they moved to Canada to stay...
What is not abused in Canada? please note the following:
Insurance Scam
Identity theft
Banking scam
Social service scam
Real estate scam
Corporate scam
Education scam
Why stop here, its only fair to abuse the health care system too, why should that be left out? after all its so easy. The amount of abuse in Canada reminds me of a bell in a temple, ring it whenever you want or as long as it serves your purpose and then take off. Hard working Canadians will be paying higher premiums and higher taxes every month, our costs don't decrease, its going up every year so might as well get used to it.
Unfortunately laws in Canada are too relaxed for criminals and they know they can get away very easily, for example the worst possible punishment a criminal can get is life in prison (only 25 years). If I were a criminal I'll be more than happy to serve 25 years, because I know I wont get the death sentence, I get free food, right to an education and shelter, without paying a dime, better than being out in the streets of Toronto at -25c. How would you feel if you know part of your hard earned money is going towards feeding 3 meals a day to a person who is responsible for the death of your family member? Wouldn't you rather see him dead? I know I would, 1 less person to deal with in society and 1 less probability of another crime being committed in the future.
Lets talk about law, if a thief comes into your house slips and falls, do you know you are held liable and he can sue you in court? Even if you happen to apprehend him until the police arrive you will be charged with forcible confinement? You are the person who will be arrested not the thief, he was just doing his job until he slipped on the floor you didnt clean.
It dosen't stop here, do you know you can get a lighter sentence if you are drunk or under the influence of drugs and commit a crime? So all this stuff is really sick, personally I feel the laws have made it easier so that people can pick and choose how they want to commit crime in order to get a lighter sentence. Nobody questions the fact if you are old enough to realize alcohol and drugs are bad for you, one should know better to stay away from all this....right? If one is old enough to willingly take drugs without any force, coercion or influence then they are also old enough to say no in the first place. Sadly the law dosen't address that. Being poor is not an excuse if one can afford $20 for crack cocaine then $20 get you far when it comes to feeding yourself. Its a lifestyle choice. There are far more poor people who came from much worst situations around the world and made is very successful in Canada so poverty is not an excuse, as a matter of fact its an inspiration to be hopeful, positive, never look back and move forward.
We as Canadians need to change the laws, this is our country and we possibly cant be victim to these ridiculous, illogical, unethical, ancient, draconian laws that compromise the safety of our families. People have to speak up otherwise there is no difference between us and mindless zombies.
