The key to civilization is figuring out which old ideas are the ones we need to toss & which new ones we need to embrace. What appears utopian now will be common sense tomorrow.
#BasicIncome is one of those new ideas. It's time to embrace life over human sacrifice.

Politics killed Ontario's basic income program, but it was getting great results. Couldn't we try it in Atlantic Canada?

Universal Basic Income is about so many things. It is about power and freedom, it is about deciding for ourselves, it is about family, relations, and so much more. #BasicIncome

It's the time for the govt to have the courage to bring in a Guaranteed Livable Income now: Ottawa is flush with cash, short on political courage as recession looms #basicincome @KPateontheHill @basicincomecdn @BasicBc @votelau @Disability_WP @ubi_works nationalobserver.com/2022/11…

I just voted against Bill 28, which takes away the Charter rights of the lowest paid education workers. Whose rights will Doug Ford come after next? #onpoli

Hard work used to pay off.
Today, less so - as stagnant wages, tax and inflation continue to make it harder for workers to get ahead.
Basic income at least gives everyone a chance.

The Liberals didn't claw back the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy from companies that used the money to give their execs bonuses, but they're clawing back the Canada Child Benefit from single moms who need the money to feed their kids.
Reverse these cruel clawbacks now! #cdnpoli
