> Also I believe there would be an explosion of free enterprise.

Which is exactly the result that came from the Manitoba Mincome trial in the 1970s, the Ontario UBI trials in 2017, and countless other UBI experiments around the world.

2/2 Despite what FOX news hosts wail all the time, humans by nature are not lazy so they won't stop working. But UBI would fundamentally change society.

Although Guaranteed Income will help keep people out of poverty, it's a stopgap under firm government control and doesn't change the nature of work at all.

It will be interesting to see who starts talking GI instead of UBI.

1/2 They have. And my 500 character limit is annoying here.

UBI at the right level gives workers a choice where they want to work and what wages they will accept, and extends that to people being able to pick zero wage income and just volunteering or running small business that don't need to make a profit. In a strong sense, it creates the ultimate free market capitalism.

@Lorry

Even the Basic Income Canada Network has shifted to talking about Guaranteed Income. I hope that's at least Guaranteed *Livable* Income, but it's definitely a step backwards from Universal Basic Income. They've shifted because they think it will be easier to get politicians to accept GLI rather than UBI.

I think BICN is making a mistake.

I didn't think passing Bill C223 to study a Guaranteed Livable Income would be an easy win, but neither did I think it would be so strongly defeated.

And this was just for a study! The cost would have been minimal, but I guess politicians were afraid the study results might have indicated they've done a poor job of providing the social safety net they claim we have in Canada.
