Hi friends I didn’t actually click the link so my skepticism may be unfounded. But I have a few concerns open to criticism or validation lol

In a primarily private sector “market” supply chain etc does basic income not just put downward pressure on wages in the form of a pseudo business subsidy ick.

Or if everyone has the same level of income before labour income **without pricing control **we end up just raising the floor on the cost of living? Sure there are long tails where only nice to have things get more expensive but in aggregate.

I’m 100% for wealth redistribution and believe heavily in public goods so please don’t at me as a capitalist pig 🐽. Maybe I’m missing the mark but adding more money into our under served areas of society without thoughtful discussion about financial literacy and about where that money inevitability ends up we’ve already lost the plot on the program lol

Thank you if you made it to the end of my poorly punctuated run on mess ❤️

This sounds really good, for a country that has been growing inflation adjusted per capita GDP the last decade that can afford it.

Canada just announced its increasing immigration for the elderly as well, from India and Pakistan. This party will do the same as its done the last decade, capital swallowing while overburdening our infrastructure and services.
