Conservatives: Not our job to feed starving Canadian children

[Zipperfish]

just because your mother was a crack wh ore on welfare doesn't mean everyone is.

Merry Christmas to you too, Gerry! :lol:

I agree, Petros, but no use attacking the legal stuff while the illegal stuff is running rampant. Also some legal drugs and alcohol is justified, but it's hard to justify crack and heroine.

There is no justifying a drug you can't afford be it legal or illegal.

Umm............tell that to the destitute mother of a young child with type 1 diabetes.

 

[Goober]

The government pays in too.




The point is, I've not read anything from this guy that says he thinks poverty is okay.


See, there is a massive logical fallacy in the way the news has covered his statement.


He has said that he doesn't think we should be providing breakfast programs, we should be providing parents with tools to feed their kids themselves.


The media has said that means he doesn't care about child poverty.


The fallacy is that breakfast programs feed kids, while doing nothing to address poverty. They are actually counterintuitive to addressing poverty, because they let us feel like we're doing something, while fixing nothing.


He hasn't said he wants to leave the kids to go hungry, he's simply said he doesn't think this tool is appropriate. I don't think lynching the guy for having an opinion about the effectiveness of kiddie versions of soup kitchens, is right.

I do not recall slamming him for his comment?

That was what YOUR characterization of people on welfare.

James Moore is the Industry Minister a Minister of the Crown.
Jame Moore is a Conservative Member of the House therefore
the Conservatives said it. When you are a Minister of the Crown
everything you do and say represents the government you are a
part of, in reality and perception.
This was really stupid because it plays into the hands of whichever
of the two real opposition parties can exploit it best. Yes
they have a right to exploit it, just like the Conservatives have
exploited and likely took a number of things out of context done
by parties all the time. Having people believe it is a problem for
the government.
If he kept his mouth shut there would be nothing to exploit.

Was this possible person a rape victim?
Don't look for truth, just use this supposed situation as an argument, um ya, perfect. Do not ask if anyone told her to keep her bloody legs shut until she was sure of the legitimacy of the possible father.

Fifteen kids???

This advice is late but surely she could have kept her legs together. I can't believe she doesn't know what causes pregnancy. She is demanding payment for her own mistakes.

4 or 15 the CTC will be the same as will welfare.

A read that might interest you. Also, they aren't 'her' decisions alone. It literally, takes two to tango.
