Imagine a society where mostly young adults choose to apply to the Canadian Government to become wildmen. No taxes are paid, student loans vanish, the impossibility of finding livable and affordable accommodation is overcome and the fruitless search for meaningful employment is avoided as most of the wild men live in Toronto’s extensive ravine system. The downside for wildmen is that they are used as slave labour and hunted for sport the best specimens having their heads prepared for taxidermists to be placed by deer heads on the walls of the hunter.
The various levels of federal and provincial governments reduce their social assistance spending, Medicare and costs of incarceration etc. Not quite Kurt Vonnegut’s “Welcome to the Monkey House’s” ethical suicide parlors but somewhat the same idea.
Wildmen, well they are considered as pests akin to zebra mussels and racoons.
