Is this actually something people think is financially possible for Canada to pull off ? What are y’all’s thoughts on this . Will it be for every Taxpayer, or are we just guaranteeing a minimum annual income for those earning below a certain threshold ? I personally believe we are fucked if that loser in Ottawa dangles this carrot before the brain dead masses.

It can't be done right.
It will change peoples’ behaviour too much. Many people won’t work, businesses will be short of low-wage labour, inflation will change buying power, the people that work will have increased taxes, mobile people with money will leave the country, and many more problems that I cannot think of at the top if my head.
But would the federal gov then cut all the employees responsible for administering all those programs? No they wouldn’t. Those programs will stay with a ubi.
you're a fucking fool if you think this will happen
