That is one of the major reasons to elect somebody that can stop this bull crap next year. While our Canadian children are suffering shortage of fundings of schools, our government is wasting our tax money on leachers/free riders
And you know what? We gotta learn something from our southern neighbor. Canadian First!!!
The US has a welfare system as well. In the case of refugee there is often a transition period where people need to learn English/French, adapt to a new country, get healthy because they have often come from an area where living conditions are not satisfactory, etc. Unfortunately many people have lived in countries where the cash economy rules and there have been no taxes so I think there was a lack of understanding that Uber wasn't just extra cash on the side to supplement the family income. Sure the tax bill will be a huge lesson. Th welfare system also supports the children who are likely to are much more likely to be successful if they have some support like access to housing and nutrition. This family has only recently come to Canada so hopefully they are working hard to become fully employed and get off welfare in the recent future.
