I think it's completely possible to not end up homeless or jobless in the Alberta economy. Even in this recession, there are still "Help Wanted" signs everywhere. Sure, it's minimum wage job, but you can scrape by on that until something better is an option.

I just hate the "It's only $10/hour (or whatever it is now), so why bother?" mentality. You bother so that you're not an unnecessary drain on society because you're being a lazy fuck.

Getting government assistance is easier than working. Why work minimum wage when you can get more on an assistance program?

That's the attitude that I hate.
