I think people need to understand that today's market is a global market.

I think people have a right to work and make a living. Nobody should be starving. And they aren't, at least not in Canada (if you of able mind and body).

However, that right does not extend to you making a living in any city you choose. Some cities are more competitive than others or requiring a different skill set. Some cities may have a higher cost of living (Vancouver is a prime example). Some may be more labor intensive or more education higher thinking intensive.

Much like how the poor have a right to affordable accommodations, they don't really have a right to it wherever they choose. The Athletes Village or Woodwards building is a prime example of this. There are things in life you can't have simply because you are priced out.

If you can't afford to live in one of the most expensive cities in the world because you lack the skills to thrive there, then maybe you can work manual labor on a farm in the prairie provinces.

I can't stand people saying "i have a right to blah blah blah in such and such a place". Because they don't.


Also.
People with kids, that's a life choice. If a wife and husband work at mcdonalds and walmart and decide they want 2 children, they are making a poor life choice. Then don't buy a TV, then don't buy a car. Those things aren't rights.



It's all about choices.
Once again, if you are both of able mind and body, I have yet to see a lack of opportunity in the first world as long as you are willing to use a little elbow grease.
It's like people in the States not wanting to do labor jobs being taken by immigrants, but still complaining they are no jobs available.
