While true, I do see one silver lining: those who ARE productive will float to the top. NOT because of UBI, but the environment it creates will let someone who can think, work, and operate outside of that environment be ok: think Richard Rahl and Nikki.
He succeeded because he didn't play by their rules. He bought and sold, worked, arranged, dealed, etc behind the scenes and without permission from "the system", bartering and trading based on legit needs and supply and demand, not from some government quota. Richard actions were the definition of unfettered capitalism, and the entire time his captor "Nikki" didn't understand how he could do so much and be successful while bucking the system. He freed himself, not by overpowering, but by rising above. And sharing a great awakening when the time was right:
"Your life is yours and yours alone. Rise up and live it."
You can down vote and disagree, but I stand by my statement.
If there is one silver lining about hard times, it is that it breeds strong men and heroes. Be the hero.
Give an income to everyone in the universe… except for the record-breaking number of Canadian assisted-suicide victims. Interesting how those two government programs dovetail together.
There is a lot to this, but want to express how language changes shapes policy (through slight of hand).
From helping people who are starving to helping people who feel "food insecurity". Good Lord that could be anyone who didn't get their choco cereal bites followed by bagels and cream cheese 2 hours later.
As a former educator, I have seen the children deemed "food insecure". Most are grossly overweight.
Rant on a small part of the disgusting video posted here.
Its because "food insecure" means lack of access to fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats. Whats left are shelf-stable things that are loaded with carbohydrates, which the body can only use the excess of to make fat.
That issue is then coupled with low quality nutrients that lower brain both brain andmuscle development and you get fat, lazy slobs.
This was recognized as an issue and efforts made to correct it, but our elite overlords couldn't lose out on pop tart money and so high jacked it and made it a leftie talking point instead of an actual effort to help people.
USDA definition - "The USDA defines food insecurity as a lack of consistent access to enough food for every person in a household to live an active, healthy life. This can be a temporary situation for a family or can last a long time. Food insecurity is one way we measure how many people can't afford food."
Unfortunately, the people receiving/giving the $ and benefits don't typically prioritize fresh, living foods.
Canada is going to need a name change. Commie-ca-nada should do the trick, and they can go heavy on the nada part because that is what the people will have.
This is about buying votes and lying to people in order to influence. The commies in Canada know they can't win against Poilierve, so they will offer up this lie about UBI acting as though it is already instituted and working well then the evil Poilierve will take that away from them, secondarily it will be used to buy the low mental vote, those who think socialism benefits all akin to the ignorant comment made by @kish-kumen in this thread. Look how many fools actually thought Biden was going to wipe their university debt, it's the same breed of mongoloid that believed in the "Affordable Healthcare Act", or that Obama money was going to take care of the black community; it did just not in the manner they were wanting.....
Actually this is the truth. Also the social credit score aspect will come into play. Anything they say or do is monitored and if they do not tow the party line then their cutoff.
I don't understand. Is this welfare for poor/homeless? Or is this being paid to citizens with jobs including the wealthy? So what, they take your tax money, so now they will take even MORE tax money, and then pay you a tiny bit every month? What a scam!
A friend of mine that works at a grocery store says so many people come through with food stamp cards, most have well over $5000 balance on them. Must be tough out there.
Pay people to be unproductive ------ you get an unproductive country.
Trudeau is unproductive.

In an open air prison, be like the bird.
Perhaps you don't know the story.

Wow, been a decade since i read that series, i prefer WOT, but not bad.
Yep it was a good series, enjoyed it and WOT.
Kick ass, maybe these Venezuelan invaders will go there instead.
Yeah my first thought was somewhat similar: maybe now the uberlibs will finally move there after all, rid us of their misery, and as a bonus:
FIND OUT WARMER WAS BETTER
😂 that would be ideal!
Great idea. Canada is only a few more miles.

Thats what it is now, unfortunately. Its not how it started. 😕

It's not anywhere close but I'll keep my eye on it.

Chinada
Ain't that tha truth!
CAN'TNADA
Or how about Canah-nah-nah...
And all the assisted suicide is to make the system viable.

Pretty suss editing on this one... Cuts right as she was going to elaborate on the bill.
Don't get me wrong, I don't really doubt there's evil afoot, but this is bad journalism.
What are they going to fund it with? Oh, that's right, pretend printed 'money'.
Actually this is the truth. Also the social credit score aspect will come into play. Anything they say or do is monitored and if they do not tow the party line then their cutoff.
Where these money come from? From your taxes?
Would an increase of free-of-tax allowance have the same effect?
Why they chose to give everyone $1,000 instead of reducing the tax by $1,000?
$1,000 CBDC gives them the control … of you and your behaviour. They can penalise you.
$1,000 of tax reduction gives the control … to you. It makes you independent.
No one can buy a house anymore in Canada, so it's time to usher in UBI to completely crush anyone's hopes.
Who is the Nazi that’s speaking.
there goes Canada. it was nice knowing all you Canucks!
A solid year or to before it could pass through

Wait until they rally for it and find that welfare was more lucrative. Dumbasses.
We understand. Are doing the best we can. There are more Canadian Patriots than not.
