      The Trump and Republican plan was tax cuts for the rich and corporations and transfer the tax load to the rest. And at the same time massive fiscal spending and deficits. Almost as much as Trudeaus per capita.

      Or Alberta's 8 billion dollar deficit based on relatively low one time volatile resource revenues. But no sales tax! A sales tax would ruin the province and Alberta would start to look like Saskatchewan and Manitoba! LOL

        Old guys near retirement start to lose interest and energy. That is the decline that we can't avoid.

          Chuck, Texas has 2/3rds of our population, a larger GDP a less diversified economy and they have no sales tax or state income taxes.

          A single US state outdoes an entire G7 country blessed with 100x the resources.

          We should hang our head in shame in this country for what was squandered. UBI will kill whatever spirit is left in this country. I sure as hell wont b trying to grow big crops to pay for a percentage of the population who wont leave their house. We already have a lot of those kind here. I wont play that marxist game.

            Jazz every government provincially or federally have supported EI and social programs of some sort for a long time. EI helps pay the rent or mortgage and put food on the table. Are oil workers supposed to go cold turkey with no income after being layed off? Some are so depressed they can't get out of bed. Should we just ignore them?

              I could possibly support a UBI under the following conditions.

              If the stated purpose is:

              1) to shrink government, not grow government.
              2)Eliminate every other social program
              3)Eliminate most of the civil service who otherwise would be administering those programs
              4)Eliminate most labour laws, particularly minium wage
              5)Oulaw labour unions, since they would no longer be necessary
              6)Total spending would actually go down not up
              7)It removes any possibilities of buying elections by promising more free stuff by increasingly taking it away from those who don't vote for them at every election. Governments can get back to governance, instead of redistribution.(Which sounds ironic given the topic, but if this was a one and done deal, then forever more, there would be no more freebie promises, instead of the creeping socialism we have now, where each party tries to out promise the other.
              8)We find some way to keep everyone motivated in spite of being paid to be demotivated, and I honestly haven't figured this one out yet.

              Since none of these seem to be true according to any analysis or experiments I've seen, I'll pass on this one.

                No we shouldn't ignore them.
                We should build those pipelines!
                And yes CC, we should build our green energy projects? too.
                Put people to work.

                    It can be argued that a universal income program makes a degree of sense. Can the govt be trusted to combine all other programs into one cost effectively?
                    Human nature is such that more people will be on support as time goes on regardless of program design. Should we make it easier?
                    I would much rather my mentally ill son have to fight at least long enough to get out of bed regardless of pay, than to never have to struggle at all. Life becomes existence without a fight of some kind. Even something as simple as getting ready for the day.
                    Should we support a govt that wants to spend more money without a clue how it is made?

                    If I'm old then you better hustle and raise taxes before i spend it all on hookers and blow.

                      You need to hurry up and spend it then, before they too get legalized and taxed.

                        Dear REMOVED,

                        I want to provide you some very important information. I’m a committee member within the Liberal Party of Canada. I sit within several committee groups but the information I am providing is originating from the Strategic Planning committee (which is steered by the PMO).

                        I need to start off by saying that I’m not happy doing this but I have to. As a Canadian and more importantly as a parent who wants a better future not only for my children but for other children as well. The other reason I am doing this is because roughly 30% of the committee members are not pleased with the direction this will take Canada, but our opinions have been ignored and they plan on moving forward toward their goals. They have also made it very clear that nothing will stop the planned outcomes.

                        The road map and aim was set out by the PMO and is as follows:

                        – Phase in secondary lock down restrictions on a rolling basis, starting with major metropolitan areas first and expanding outward. Expected by November 2020.
                        – Rush the acquisition of (or construction of) isolation facilities across every province and territory. Expected by December 2020.
                        – Daily new cases of COVID-19 will surge beyond capacity of testing, including increases in COVID related deaths following the same growth curves. Expected by end of November 2020.
                        – Complete and total secondary lock down (much stricter than the first and second rolling phase restrictions). Expected by end of December 2020 – early January 2021
                        – Reform and expansion of the unemployment program to be transitioned into the universal basic income program. Expected by Q1 2021.
                        – Projected COVID-19 mutation and/or co-infection with secondary virus (referred to as COVID-21) leading to a third wave with much higher mortality rate and higher rate of infection. Expected by February 2021.
                        – Daily new cases of COVID-21 hospitalizations and COVID-19 and COVID-21 related deaths will exceed medical care facilities capacity. Expected Q1 – Q2 2021.
                        – Enhanced lock down restrictions (referred to as Third Lock Down) will be implemented. Full travel restrictions will be imposed (including inter-province and inter-city). Expected Q2 2021.
                        – Transitioning of individuals into the universal basic income program. Expected mid Q2 2021.
                        – Projected supply chain break downs, inventory shortages, large economic instability. Expected late Q2 2021.
                        – Deployment of military personnel into major metropolitan areas as well as all major roadways to establish travel checkpoints. Restrict travel and movement. Provide logistical support to the area. Expected by Q3 2021.

                        Along with that provided road map the Strategic Planning committee was asked to design an effective way of transitioning Canadians to meet a unprecedented economic endeavor. One that would change the face of Canada and forever alter the lives of Canadians. What we were told was that in order to offset what was essentially an economic collapse on a international scale, that the federal government was going to offer Canadians a total debt relief. This is how it works: the federal government will offer to eliminate all personal debts (mortgages, loans, credit cards, etc) which all funding will be provided
                        to Canada by the IMF under what will become known as the World Debt Reset program. In exchange for acceptance of this total debt forgiveness the individual would forfeit ownership of any and all property and assets forever. The individual would also have to agree to partake in the COVID-19 and COVID-21 vaccination schedule, which would provide the individual with unrestricted travel and unrestricted living even under a full lock down (through the use of photo identification referred to as Canada’s HealthPass) .

                        Committee members asked who would become the owner of the forfeited property and assets in that scenario and what would happen to lenders or financial institutions, we were simply told “the World Debt Reset program will handle all of the details”. Several committee members also questioned what would happen to individuals if they refused to participate in the World Debt Reset program, or the HealthPass, or the vaccination schedule, and the answer we got was very troubling. Essentially we were told it was our duty to make sure we came up with a plan to ensure that would never happen. We were told it was in the individuals best interest to participate. When several committee members pushed relentlessly to get an answer we were told that those who refused would first live under the lock down restrictions indefinitely. And that over a short period of time as more Canadians transitioned into the debt forgiveness program, the ones who refused to participate would be deemed a public safety risk and would be relocated into isolation facilities. Once in those facilities they would be given two options, participate in the debt forgiveness program and be released, or stay indefinitely in the isolation facility under the classification of a serious public health risk and have all their assets seized.

                        So as you can imagine after hearing all of this it turned into quite the heated discussion and escalated beyond anything I’ve ever witnessed before. In the end it was implied by the PMO that the whole agenda will move forward no matter who agrees with it or not. That it wont just be Canada but in fact all nations will have similar roadmaps and agendas. That we need to take advantage of the situations before us to promote change on a grander scale for the betterment of everyone. The members who were opposed and ones who brought up key issues that would arise from such a thing were completely ignored. Our opinions and concerns were ignored. We were simply told to just do it.

                        All I know is that I don’t like it and I think its going to place Canadians into a dark future.

                          I would only support some sort of UBI is the shackles and regulations and climate and woke bullshite was taken off our economy and let it rock unimpeded. If I have to pay for the feeble minded, than I want no obstacles in my way either.

                            With 75% of income in canuckistan being welfare in one form or another (think agristab) a UBI is not that scandalous. It merely formalizes what is already reality. The government could fire 2/3 of its workforce this morning and nobody would miss them so all those political hires are essentially UBI recipients already. If you put them on a UBI instead of government salary the cost to the tax base would actually be a savings. If there is no UBI demand for produce will fall and banks will be destabilized and they are also a major source of fake jobs in canuckistan. As other posters have pointed out, off shoring wealth like the trudeau foundation does is likely too late. Canuckistan is done.
