That Kitchener UBI consultation may have been in regards to the Provincial UBI plan, perhaps to get Kitchener included. This was January 2017 when provincial Liberals were still planning the UBI pilot. But the provincial UBI plan went only to Hamilton/Brantford, Lindsay, and Thunder Bay (not Kitchener/Waterloo), and was cancelled when the Conservatives came to power in 2018.

At a Basic Income consultation for the City of Kitchener a few years ago, the people who would benefit most from #UBI (or #NIT) decided that NIT was not the way to disburse a Guaranteed Income: The tax system is too slow to respond to changing economec needs.
I was askes to present the results from our group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAOKSCvNBWw&t=30
Sadly, there was never any action on Basic Income in #Kitchener.

That's a good question. I've been a proponent of a "Universal Livable Income" in order to really decouple the need for working-for-income with basic survival. But that's more difficult to defend against the "causes inflation", "no-one will ever work", and "where will the money come from" crowds. Not to mention the "they don't deserve it" crowd.

Glad you did engage in that #UBI dust-up.
The beauty of a well-implemented UBI system is its simplicity, and lack of demeaning means-testing.
There have been plenty of UBI pilots (and several actual implementations), none of which show any evidence of UBI-caused inflation.
In comparison, government distribution of goods and services is more akin to the worst parts of state-run comminism.

I guarantee you that everyone that whinges their bootlicking talking points when you bring up taxing the rich would gladly accept UBI checks from that exact tax policy if it happens.

If I were rich and did not need to work, I would learn how to make games for the playstation 1. I would really like to make my own fan made Resident Evil games in the style of RE 1, 2, and 3.
Too bad, time does not permit this activity.
