If we are entering a period where we have to spend large sums of money on income support, because we have no choice, we should do that in as deliberate a manner as possible He said it would give Canadians freedom to explore their interests without being a disincentive to working. He said all the factors are in place to do an important test.
Some of the proposals call for around $6,000/year. If you think this is a disincentive to work, you are probably an advocate of slavery. It would actually save money, by getting rid of the huge EI and welfare staffing.
One more step toward a socialist state. Those you do work will be paying for those folks who choose to sit on their ass.
Sure so long if it's paid for by raising taxes on the top .5% of income earners
No we don’t need that thanks we can’t afford it trudeau gave away all our money
joellehamilto10 Say it with me communism! go live in china or cuba or pick another shit hole that has no freedoms, leave canada alone
During USSR times Western societies ran away from communism as much as possible, but looks like communism is getting them now
Time to get out of this sht show.
Apparently the people of Canada voted for communism in the last election 🧐
If we human keep breeding indiscriminately like rabbits, we will have to think and become more and more social. There are only so many decent jobs to be had.
I'm good as long as I'm one of those pilots
Here's your 2000. Also, rent on a crappy apartment went up to 3500 a month.
try 1trillion simple math folks
PBO says $100BILLION
15MN canadians getting 2k a month? Thats 360BN a year. So, what services are we scrapping to come up.with this? Especially with fewer tax dollars when people can get by on basic income...
Highest unemployment in the G7 and our credit was already downgraded. Now is not the time. Who’s going to pay for it?
☝️get to work. What he fails to say is what you would have to give up for this free money. Property ownership is probably one of them.
A utopian delusion!
Why Socialism Never Works
dima_nomad How about we don’t follow in Venezuela’s footsteps...
Ask the same BC senator how much he makes? Then suggest he be the 1st one to go on ‘basic income’ for 6 months. Let’s see if his views / opinions are the same in month 7. Get back to work Mr Marx. cdnpoli
if this means i would get paid from government even if i don’t work. sure. i will quit my job right now
Lol, what is the cost of CERB up to now? Around 43 billion? 100 million eh? 🤣🤣🤣
Oh look Trudeau's China Senator wants things to be more like his favourite dictatorship!
SocialismKills Universal basic income is a tyrannical concept. A government that creates dependence instead of independent prosperity is a fascist government no matter how sweet it’s words or diverse/includive the faces of its administrators.
No, bad idea. With a basic income people will not work. In a generation we will have a whole generation dependant on government. Eventually the government will run out of other people’s money.
No it is not.
Don’t fool yourself, a basic income program across Canada would cost much, MUCH more than 100 million Ordinarily, it should replace most other programs already existing (E.I., welfare etc..) but I’ll bet it would be placed “in addition” of, and not “instead of”
If they believe in it so much, why don't they offer to take a 90% pay cut to help pay for it. Maybe then I'll take them seriously, until then, not so frickin much. This has been tried, and has failed just as many times, in other places around the world. Why wouldn't it fail here?
Might as well. Government is throwing money away as bribes, as scams for charities and whatever else. At least giving it back to the people makes more sense.
soon or later it will have to happen
Ya let’s pay for drug addicts drugs.
This is dangerous as hell
Already 47% of households receive more government assistance than tax they pay. That's why Trudeau won despite all failures and scandals, nobody cares about fiscal responsibility and budget deficit. until Canada become Venezuela.
This is what happens with politics. They dangle what might be popular and attractive in the short term, but crippling and brankrupting in the long term.
He knows it isn’t sustainable. That’s the issue with the pilots, it could be sustainable on a small scale as long as there’s productive people working em masse to pay for it. It’s the large scale where people stop working in Canada altogether.
How about people get a job? Why give people with these ideas the press? Look at what they are doing with their free time. Loot, Riot etc.
We have a basic income program. It's called get a job lazy.
Let them try it in BC. Why not?
No
Leeches are workin anyway now they can be legally paid.... GFO and do something. This is the time for expertises, experience not for a hand outs....
Are you insane? Try a hundred billion dollars
Housing is way too expensive! I'm willing to be taxed for this but I have no money left after paying for all the housing costs.
Rubbing shoulders with XI
This was the game all along. I called it mid May!
YuenPauWoo No thank you Senator Mr Woo. Welcome security review all liberal senator, liberal MP finances and Privy Council members with extra thorough security review of all TrudeauFoundation finances for undeclared CCpChina 'donations' or other undeclared 'donations.' TY
Buying votes.
In a word. No.
By the the way, you really changed NP and suck shit now.
So, my thought is no. How about instill values and work for your wealth.
We have social safety nets now. Where’s the incentive for people to put in a hard days work in return for a good days pay? Make a contribution to society instead of constant withdrawals.
Universal welfare. No thanks
2 year basic income in Finland ended in 2019. Results: ppl getting free money didn’t get jobs, start businesses, go to school. They overall had less stress. And 100mil is 10x less than it would cost
Corrupt CCP Fifth Columnist. The Yellow Peril is real.
Started thinking about retiring in the US. WAY lower taxes easily offsets health insurance and property is MUCH cheaper in many areas. This country to sinking.
Idiot
How many times does this need to be proven not to work before people realize it doesn’t work?
Isn't this the same guy who pushes the CCP message in the Senate? Defacto lobbying for Meng Wanzhou. IMO
