Tragedy at a home daycare in Vaughan, ON

[momofnerds]

people where have all you been. Last year (into this year) I had a mom claim single, because they needed stuff done to their house. Her and her dh make as much as my dh and I. She used someone elses addy (family) and all she had to do is say that she is seperate. Voila, she got money and lots of it. And not only that, her kids activites are either paid for or she gets a discount.
also, i know my bff's mother (we've been bff's for 30 yrs) sat on welfare forever till she qualified for canada pension or something like this. And the reason she didn't work was....she wanted to stay home and take care of her children even as adults.
I can go on and on.

if people need it, then i have no problem but 80% are just screwing the goverment. Like really, when you have one child and on welfare and finding it difficult then why would you continue to have 4 more kids (yup know a mom too)

80%? Do you have a link that supports that figure?

There are liars and criminals that aren't on welfare too. I don't get your guys' point in saying that some people on public assistance are screwing the system. Some people who ARENT on public assistance are crooks too. It just doesn't make sense.

I am guessing that many people find a way to steal. Does that make every social program enrollee a thief? All cats have paws. All dogs have paws. Therefore, all dogs must be cats.

I swore I wasn't going to post again on this thread, but I just can't help it. I do think it's a discussion that needs to be had and I feel we have all remained respectful and polite with our opinions. I think if we don't discuss things with each other, we miss out on potentially seeing another side to a story.

Would love to see the statistics quoted here with the 80%. Is that 80% of people you have actually met or heard about through gossip? Gotta love it when people throw out statistics based on their own limited experiences with something.
