Add up government plans and make your own total
So let me add this up. More of us will be going to jail. In jail, we will now have to pay more for room and board while working in prison for a maximum of $69 every two weeks.
Temporary workers come from poorer countries and work for less than minimum wage, and Jim Flaherty says there’s no such thing as a bad job as he weighs forcing people to take jobs they don’t want – an idea kyped from the UK Conservatives.
The funny thing is that I simply don’t think Canada is truly so poor that this is necessary. But I’m afraid it’s come around to having to break the spirit of a new generation so’s make them into obedient peons, and it’s not taking as well as it might, so they have to grind harder and scare us more. (Flaherty: “we are going to have to encourage more persons with disabilities to work, more seniors to work…”)

The obvious solution is to stay out of jail, its not like we have debtors’ prison in canada. And TBH, ive worked in retail long enough to wonder why thieves who are successfully apprehended come back a week later to do more of the same. Whats worse is when your staff realizes how easy thieves get off, its not long after they begin ripping you off themselves.
So the government wants to keep em longer and teach them to earn their living, i cant say i disagree.

Actually, they don’t teach them to earn a living. The program that used to do a bit of training has been axed. They punish them, use them as slave labour them put them on the street with no more life skills than they went in with. What do you imagine happens then?
