drug testing to get on welfare.

[rld]

there are quite a few and if you plan on crossing the border as a truck driver you have to go get tested every 3 months. not sure about other jobs that involve border crossing but my job it is a mandatory.

I just don't follow your logic...which seems to be "if I have to do it than everybody should."

I don't follow your logic. The vast majority of jobs do not require drug testing...

I think you'd be surprised and often it has nothing to do with public safety.

In Canada it's almost always has to do with safety. It's much more widespread in the United states, where Americans seem to believe an employer has an invasive right to impose morality on employees.

Perhaps the politicians should set an example by getting tested first.

well if people have to be tested to get a job and earn money you should have to be tested to sit at home and do nothing. don't seem fair to me that the honest people of the world are getting shafted while the dishonest and lazy get shit handed to them.

If you are on the dole and have enough money for the drugs, you probably have an undeclared income.

Ok, I need to put my 2 cents in here......
Everyone getting there shorts in a knot about free money. I, personally, was very involved within the government and have also maintained keeping up to date with spending/costs.

Do you all realize that what you are talking about for a single person here in Ontario they receive $525 per month ??

Whippety Doo !!! If they need it/qualify for it .... let them HAVE it !! That's equivalent to a meer $131 per week.. $6300 per year .

Know U tell me Who can live on that?? Think about it...the price of food/shelter, way exceeds that.

Everyone can rant and rage but.....no one has any complaints about politicians spending 500 - 700 on lunch, or 1200 on shoes, or 92,000 re-modeling their office, or the millions, millions and millions of dollars we donate to other countries.

Let`s look at the BIG picture, friends
Our OWN people sometimes NEED our help

Soooo...let`s help them (without whining) if we can.

Bless

Or you went to a party and someone passed a joint around....
