Ontario prisoners are general incarcerated for brief periods -- a few months -- for lesser offences. They are disproportionately poor and many support families. They have, if anything, more need for the transitional cheques than others.
Being in jail is the punishment.
Depriving the prisoners of their other entitlements is mean spirited and double punishing.
I completely agree with your opinion. These prisoners are often marginalized already and we do not need to further punish and deprive them. I wrote a blog post about this topic as well. :)
Morton has never ben to jai,never worked a real job,never done anything other than "university". Now he wants to tell people how to live even though he never has.
Going to university,becoming a progressive Marxist,and then telling people how to live is not a real job.
Get a real job Morton.
One where you have real world experience. Not just bullshit taught to you by another leftist Marxist.
Thanks for presenting a balance point of view. The media is playing this to get people riled up, but when you actually see the conditions that must be met to get the cheque (<90 day sentence, filed tax return last year, etc), I don't think it is unreasonable. I am sure that many of them have spouses and children who could probably but that money to good use.

I think that if this were the federal government instead of the government of Ontario, we'd see the exact opposite opinion.

@ last anonymous -- seems a bit harsh. How do you know?
