Alannah didn't not grow up into a looker. Can someone familiar with Canada's socialist system explain "mother's allowance" in the context of the single mother. Is this a softer way of saying welfare for loser mothers?


I'm from Toronto and about 5 years younger than Dana.

No, Mother's Allowance was not welfare. For every child you had the government sent you a little money each month. As I remember, it was enough to by a pair of shoes or pants per month. Everyone got it -- rich and poor.
