What arrogance to assume that people who need these services are simply lazy, or work any less than you. These are hard working people trying to make a living and trying to get ahead. When 60%.. Let me say that again.. 60% of people in the province will receive a rebate then yes that is a majority of the population you are calling out.
Get over yourself, I am glad you are able to be in a position to not need a subsidy, to not need any assistance in your magnificent life. But the fact is there are thousands of hard working people doing the best they can to get ahead and just can't in a society that constantly enables the rich to become richer on the backs of the poor.

Read the post above.
I am not calling out people that work hard that get a subsidy.
I am calling out those who believe you should not work as hard as you could to get a subsidy as indicated above by Flash and liked by iggy.
I am as humble as a person as you can get. My family came from nothing.
My dad purchased old police cars from auctions because they were cheap. My dad wore old clothes and we grew up in a modest 900 square foot home before we moved into something bigger. He did this so he could put me and my sister through school.
We worked and we made something out of ourselves. And for that we gladly pay more in tax and others.
What angers me is that some of the programs like the CTax rebate are not universal like health care. If you can't understand that, I can't help you.
To say I am arrogant because you falsely believe I think most Albertans are lazy illustrates that you have not read all the posts or don't understand what you are reading.
