This was written by a construction worker in Fort MacMurray.
"I work. They pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In orfer to earn that paycheck, I work on a rig site for a Fort Mac construction project, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem.
What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare cheque because I have to pass one to earn it for them...?
Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I, on the other hand do have a problem with helping someone sit on their ass and drinking beer and smoking dope. Could you imagine how much money the provinces would save if people had to pass a urine test in order to receive a public assistance cheque?
Something has to change in this country, and soon.
