This should be handled by the provinces.
A lot of things should be handled by the provinces, but unfortunately there are premiers who care more about backroom deals with billionaires than administering social programs. I don't mind the federal government stepping in to run social programs if the premiers have abandoned their province. It's kind of hard to say the government is overstepping their boundaries by feeding children.
Glad it's not just more money for Dougie to "lose".
Not saying I like how it's being done though.
That’s how I feel too.
I don’t like the federal government pretending to be provincial and the provincial governments blaming them for everything.
If the premiers don’t want to run provinces, then dissolve the provinces.
Maybe, but they aren't getting it done so screw em.
This should be handled by parents. If you want kids, you should be paying for them, not expecting people who work for a living to pick up the bill.
If you don't live alone in the woods in a house you built yourself off the food you caught or grew in the clothes you made, you're surviving on the support of others to one degree or another. We call it civilization. Moreover, these are kids, who had no choice in their birth. And finally, study after study has found a net economic benefit in making sure kids are fed enough to learn, so it is less of a burden than just letting kids starve.
So what's your reason for preferring to see kids go hungry?
The kids shouldn't go hungry, their parents should be held legally and criminally responsible for not feeding them.
What's your reason for preferring parents to be negligent?
The federal and provincial governments have driven the proles into permanent debt. It is not possible to raise kids in Canada without being financially crippled, unless you were rich to begin with. It is up to all levels of government to either orchestrate their economy to the point that the majority of citizens have an income sufficient to provide for kids, OR provide the resources for raising kids directly.
That'll show those 'negligent parents,' by letting their kids starve.
Fine, sure. I'm okay with this if you agree that every road should be a toll road and you pay for the cost of the road based on how far you drive and the weight of your car.
Also, you have to pay for cops to patrol your neighbourhood. Also fire, if there's a fire, you have to pay before your house burns down.
I mean, Somalia's still a real-life Galt's Gulch, and you're welcome to move there.
Yer an idiot Harry.
