Guaranteed Livable Basic Income is about three core principles:

1. It is geared to 75% of the Low Income Measure – that is our Poverty Line in Canada, measuring how much the AVERAGE Canadian needs to live on. So when inflation which is what every politician seems to use as an excuse to costs going up, the Basic Income would go up. So it did between 2018 and 2020, and again from 2020 and 2022.

2. It has NON-means tested portion (That is the sneaky part of taking a part of your Basic Income off for each dollar you earn) for the Disabled.

3. Making sure that no Canadian between the ages of 17 and 64 go without at all. We’ve been doing this for Children and Seniors for decades, but no protection has ever been in place as a minimum income that ensures Canadians don’t go into poverty over rent and food.

HOWEVER, we can’t be fooled by thinking they have even addressed Scenario 3 at all, in fact, there is not one mention of it on Twitter by any official except the PBO’s report. No one noticed. I noticed. Now you have. Look at these charts…

So what am I doing here? Well, I’ve started a Petition to ask the Government to do a new study. I know, I know, waste of time right? WRONG. We need to convince the taxpayers and our officials it is cheaper per person to invest into a program for 19 million Canadians than it is to continue pumping the same amount of money into 8 million with a lot of administrative baggage.

I hope you enjoy this website and find at least some of the talking points to jog your imagination. You all are worth the investment in life to help not only better society for everyone, but for the future generations to come who won’t have to struggle like we did.
