Lest you all forget...this is Canada, you live in it, and overall there is simply no better COUNTRY in the world. The myopic view of a few has always p!ssed me off. Of course the wealthy will help the needy...thats the way we are.
For some reason everyone here thinks that the rest of the country is out to get you. Sounds a bit like a Napoleon syndrome to me.
Either we are little countries within a large land mass where everyone can do what they please without worrying about their neighbors, or we simply help where we can. Yes Alberta helps...yes Ontario helps...same with other provinces. Yes theres issues with our FEDERAL Government...and some Provincial Governments...but no theres no valhalla....regardless what Flame Of Liberty wants you to think.
So heres your choice....run for parliament and help make the changes you think are needed. Hopefully everyone agrees with your ideas.

Not trying to get into a passing match, but in how many countries have you lived? Are you really able to compare countries based on your own experience? Or are you just singing a song "we are the greatest, we share, thats what we do, so give me your money"?
