I have heard that in BC, if you are not from BC, you cannot collect a social services cheque there. What social services will do for people in BC is to provide them with a bus ticket to Calgary, Alberta. This may just be a rumour - I am not sure.
However, thanks to the "Homeless Hilton", we have a lot more than our fair share of homeless people. And thanks to the "boom" we have even more.
I am sick of hearing how "spoiled" I am because I happen to own a home and have some luxuries. I worked like a dog to obtain what I have, and I certainly did not ever ask anybody for a free ride along the way.
