BC bans anyone with out of province warrants from welfare rolls

The opposition released information today that the Provincial Liberal(super conservative)government plans to introduce legislation that would ban anyone with a criminal warrant from collecting social assistance.The provincial Liberals are infamous for trying to ban everyone and their dog from collecting what's left of the social assistance that's available here.The bill is said to include those on disability so if your a cripple and you have a minor offence that you have no desire to appear on,don't come to B.C.With the con air program in place to return people to wherever they were charged,I have no idea why this would seem like a good idea to a Liberal government that has sunk to about 20% in the polls but they've always felt that kicking people when they are down is a good idea.I guess when you're a conservative you just can't pass enough redundant laws.
