I as a single mother on alberta works ( I go to school) I can assure you that recieving 400$ for each of my children and my self will NOT make me want to go on wefare. Do the people who say those things hear them selves talking or are they just so sheltered that they dont get it? I was on AISH for 7 years and I could not support my family on what they were giving me (1338$) you figure that out it is a little over 300$ a month for each person in my family So again I say are you kidding no one in their RIGHT mind gets a 400$ cheque and then runs right down to welfare to sign up give your head a shake!!!!!!! As for health care if ralph were to give the 400$ check to alberta health instead of my family we would go another month with out fresh food.
