It's nice that we are done bickering about whether or not we are screwed. Onward to bickering about how soon, where, and who's to blame!!

Engineering is more like accounting, but for objects instead of money. Tables, rule books, and lobbyists.

He's probably due in court that day.

I think it's worth pursuing. People who are on programs now that would risk losing those programs by getting a job, could now go get a job, and some of those people will excel and grow and make money and pay lots of taxes. All low wage jobs would suddenly be that much more interesting and there wouldn't be as much pressure to drive up the minimum wage.

I'd be curious about how the dollars work out How expensive would it be if we didn't need AISH, employment insurance, CPP, or any number of other living assistance programs anymore (or which of those it makes most sense to axe, which to keep, and which can be dialed back). Definitely worth exploring the idea, in isolation or in comparison to other cash expenditures.
