Did someone say UBI? UBI. UBI, FFS!

Yeah. Patchwork benefits are ass to navigate. Like, almost dehumanising.

Actually Canada is the closest it has ever come to getting UBI, as there are two bills (C-223 and S-233) being reviewed for it right now. It still is going to need a lot of support though, so head over to https://www.ubiworks.ca/guaranteed-livable-basic-income to sign the petition, learn more about these bills, and otherwise tell everyone you can, and we might have a chance!
