>What about social services?
This a pretty strong argument against social services. These people who have paid their share into society are now being to forced to move because it's convenient for the government.
- sandworm101 10y agoCanada isn't the typical country when it comes to social services. While much of the population is concentrated in cities the rest of the country is vast, Mongolia or Siberia vast. Some areas, while not vast, are extremely rugged. The west coast of BC is thousands of islands and tiny inlets. For perspective, draw a line between Vancouver BC and Alaska. 800km and you cross 2 connected roads, one of which being the highway to Whistler. Note all the unconnected little towns along the way. Those are the areas at issue. https://www.google.com/maps/@50.8144629,-123.3765517,7z https://www.google.com/maps/@50.8144629,-123.3765517,7z Regardless of funding, there are practical limitations. Nobody could ever deliver something like 10-minute ambulance services to every resident. There probably aren't enough ambulances on the planet to station one within ten minutes of every Canadian. And a good number of those would have to be airborne. Roads are not the norm for much of the north.
