you know, saskatchewan has more oil than alberta, but she's one of
the poorer provinces .... I think one of the reason is because
she's saddled with a HUGE social cost structure .....
there's the largest native population in canada, most of whom
qualifies for welfare, even though the goverment pays each band or
reservation a few million dollars in grants every year, most of it
ends up in the pockets of chiefs ... whom you see swaggering around
in hundred k dollar cheverolet monster trucks ....
the unfortunate ones end up in the ghettos of the cities,
perpetuating cycles of alcohol and drug abuse, and single parent
hood ... it's a vicious cycle, foetal alcohol syndrome is
widespread ... which means that many kids are born mad and retarded
right out of the womb .... you drive down the ghetto at 3am in the
morning and you see 5-7 years old kids running around unsupervised
... climbing over cars ... running around in gangs, coming up to
you to ask for smokes ....
just the other day I was driving pass a safeway supermarket when
one young nat kid ran out full tilt out of the entrance ... chased
by another store employee ... I nearly crashed into both of them
... no prize for guessing what has happened ... a friend of mine
who works as a safeway manager in the ghetto section of the city
tells me they get an average of 3 shop lifters caught A DAY !
....
and these people get to university for free, they don't even have
to attain the general entrance requirement, but compete against
their own pool for their quota ... I could go on, but nevermind ...
I'm coming back to a home where meritocracy rules ....
