For the Future – Basic Income in Canada

Basic Income could encompass 19,911,000 Canadians to SUCCESS

For the 2023-24 Tax Year

In life to help not only a better society for everyone, but for the future generations to come
who won’t have to struggle like we did is the most rewarding feeling of them all.

Changing means-testing from 50% to 15% changes the lives of 12 million more Canadians and increases everyone’s recovery

We can change the lives of Canadians forever. Not just in the next 1-2 years, but a plan going forward for everyone, that encompasses their lifespan and encourages work and transparency like no other. This site is about pointing the Scenario that didn’t happen, that wasn’t examined, that was plain down right ignored. Yet, we spent 91% of the equivalent.

Looking at these programs — the CRB, CRCB, CRSB, CERB, CESB, CEWS and CERS — where would a person go to begin to apply for help? The eligibility criteria change every day. One day you’re on EI, the next one carries you to the CERB, and then back to EI. For a lot of Canadians, it was their first time turning to government programs for support, and it must have been an even more difficult experience to get the answers and support they needed.

It took 11 days for CERB to start taking applications and it's taken 59x longer for the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit to even get to 2nd reading. SERIOUSLY?

Guaranteed Livable Basic Income according to the NEW July 13th, 2022 Low Income Measure Statistics would be $2,156 per month for a Disabled person. Higher than CERB and still Non-Taxable.

While helping Millions out of Poverty, we would also be helping over 7 million working 🇨🇦

I checked out For The Future at forthefuture.ca about a GLBI #BasicIncome. It might not be #UBI but it’s close!
