Re: "'Angels' will shovel snow around Vancouver," Dec. 16.
I was astounded to read that "Angels" will shovel snow around city and that the goal of this program also includes shoveling snow for low-income families.
Most houses in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»now are worth at least $1 million, some of which are certainly owned by low-income people. I can understand that the program makes sense for the elderly, residents with dis-abilities and seniors living alone, but how come being a "low-income family" means they can't shovel their own snow? Are all low-income families automatically handicapped or disabled?
I am all for helping low-income people, but free snow removal is going probably a little too far.
Socialists have their own perspective on this world, I suppose.
