Henry Egan from Cyberland, Canada writes: It is interesting that the federal/provincial governments provide a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1, 890.00 and each can get an additional $580.00 in social assistance for a base income of $2,470.00 per month. They are also entitled to free medical and dental care, subsidized housing, GST

Wow Canada's welfare system sure is generous, maybe I can come up there and mooch off you all for a while?! With that amount in welfare I may very well pay off my debts sooner. :p

We have higher costs of living, partly because of the cold and distances which add to per capita energy use, but it's still a good country, for our social safety net.
