The same thing was done in other provinces...

understand now?

Whatever:
"But one constituency that continues to be forgotten - as has been the case for the last 12 years - is Alberta's poor. Some of the harshest cuts Klein made in the early 1990s came at the expense of the province's least fortunate residents. Welfare rates were slashed by around 20 per cent. The government decreed that "employable" welfare residents - by which it meant nearly everyone but the severely handicapped - must seek job retraining or risk losing their benefits. Tens of thousands were struck from the welfare rolls. Some fled to British Columbia, where monthly welfare payments were significantly higher, clutching one-way bus tickets supplied by Alberta social services"
