So everyone in Canada is receiving welfare?

You tell me. But if you are consuming more than you pay in, then I'd say that you clearly are.

I don't understand why welfare is seen as a pejorative word. I mean, I'm not entirely opposed to some sort of a safety net but generally think that government welfare is kind of a bad idea. But if you think it's a good thing, more power to you. Why not own the term?
