Just got this in email.. I am sure it would fit many places with different names 
If only it were not true !!!
CLASSIC VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The gr****opper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the
summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The shivering gr****opper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the
cold.
THE CANADIAN MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The gr****opper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the
summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The shivering gr****opper calls a press conference and demands to know why
the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate like him are cold and starving.
CBC shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering gr****opper, with
cuts to a video of the ant in his comfortable warm home with a table filled
with food.
Canadians are stunned that in a country of such wealth, this poor gr****opper is allowed to suffer so while others have plenty.
The NDP, the CAW and the Coalition Against Poverty demonstrate in front of the ant's house. The CBC, interrupting an Inuit cultural festival special from Nunavua with breaking news, broadcasts them singing "We Shall Overcome."
Svend Robinson rants in an interview with Pamela Wallin that the ant has gotten rich off the backs of gr****oppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share."
In response to polls, the Liberal Government drafts the Economic Equity and Gr****opper Anti-Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant's taxes are reassessed and he is also fined for failing to hire gr****oppers as helpers.
Without enough money to pay both the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
The ant moves to the US, starts a successful agribiz company.
The CBC later shows the now fat gr****opper finishing up the last of the ant's good food, though Spring is still months away, while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he hadn't maintained it.
Inadequate government funding is blamed, Roy Romanow is appointed to head a commission of enquiry that will cost $10,000,000.
The gr****opper is soon dead of a drug overdose, the Toronto Star blames it on obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity.
The abandoned house is taken over by a gang of immigrant spiders,
praised by the government for enriching Canada's multicultural diversity, who promptly terrorize the community.
THE END
