No matter what safety nets we have there will always be people abusing
them and people still falling through them. I was listening to a program
on CBC this morning about the cuts that are coming to social programs.
The guy was upset because he prefers to do volunteer work with charities
than with companies. It's nice of him to do volunteer work. By its very
nature, being volunteer, it does not pay. It is not a substitute for a
paying job. It is something you do in addition to your job.
