Maybe the Candian government should cut off the benefits you get then, let natural selection work.
Nice strawman.
But for what it's worth, they already have.
Also natural selection?
This ain't biology.
Well you were saying they shouldn't get aid because it's keeping them alive and keeping the population too high?
Maybe you shouldn't get aid because the population is too high. I know you're saying you don't, but you're whinging about it when it affects you.
Unemployment insurance and donations are two completely different beasts.
I am the Canadian man who has been effected by the recession and was unemployed. I need a way to live during these times. I in turn gave the country a life time of taxes (except I'm avoiding them right now
) not to mention am a citizen of said country.
Completely different to your average african country caught in the Malthusian disaster.
Besides this is Canada we are talking about. The only way Canada's birthrate is positive at the moment and not negative like half of Europe is because of the amount of immigrants we bring in. On top of that, we aren't exactly overpopulated either, nor have impending ecological disaster like most of Africa does.
This is why I don't mind giving aid to Japan, they are a country much like Canada economically and developmentwise, plus this is a natural disaster, not a problem they caused themselves.
