Yup, well said OTL
... except, it's more the NDP-type bleeding heart mentality and their unrealistic motherhood statements they love to toss around that I think you are trying to explain. Not so much the Capital "L" Libs from 'out East.' Can't assume such lefties are from Ontario, we have droves of them homegrown here in Manitoba.
Seems there is a social program aligned for every possible human failing here in Manitoba already, in addition to an army of social workers who will cry with you about how life is so difficult. How many more social programs do we need? Besides, while good intentioned, as a whole they obviously are not all that successful. More emphasis needs to be placed on individuals taking responsibility and putting in effort to chart their own course in their life.
In fact, I worry that many simply do not put in the effort, with the obvious security net that the government has all over the place. Just hop off the tightrope, and have a nice nap on the net for the rest of your life.
