I mean, good for you, I think that's laudable. But it's effectively just money out of your pocket, so why do you feel obligated to give it to your employees, as opposed to, for example, other people in Calgary (or hell, anywhere) who are more vulnerable?

Clearly a bunch of people have this instinct that this is just the right thing to do, and if you don't, you're scum (which, Rando, is what a "moral obligation" means and is in fact what everyonein here has been talking about) ... but it seems to me like that's sort of a knee-jerk reaction.
