If passed, this would be a severe violation of the public's trust. Canadians were told previously that focus would not be to penalize ineligible CERB recipients, but to get the money back.

#BasicIncome is only achievable if our #CdnPoli members draft a #UBI FIRST, then phase out the expensive overhead that cost us Billions in administration and #Redtape just to claw back Millions while thrusting poverty #lifelong #BeFirst #Nationallyhttps://t.co/wt7oEK2ZrN

Make #UBI in #Canada possible so we can all reliably get back to work with our families, choose schooling to advance a career, stay home in the early years to nurture our young it's all possible

It is our greatest hope that families who are forced to repay #CERB un-entitled pymts don't starve or skip their rent/utilities to repay a program now who spent 2X an estimated cost for #BasicIncome to escape imprisonment or fines in the thousands.@theJagmeetSingh was right

Families all across #Canada are in different "Stages"
— For The Future – I am NOT a UBI guy 🇨🇦 (@CanadaBasic) June 9, 2020
Some have #liberty to go to work & some dont
Some have children to care for & in desperate times they listened to a leader who said No one will be denied. No one will be prosecuted.#CERB should have been #UBI @theJagmeetSingh
The Government is incapable of saying "You know what, Everyone is entitled to make X per year. We are responsible for you" #WeWish #UBI was the answer for the Financial Crisis in 2020 and we #MissedTheMark https://t.co/RIuIZLIXvt

when it is the difference between starving and being able to go on for one more month? yes.

Imagine a nation where if you made less than $50k a year, or $100k a year as a family, you qualified for a $2000/mth #BasicIncome … Not only can we STOP Evictions, Abusive Homes, Debt-ridden Families who can't afford Food, Transit, or Shelter. Instead we concentrate on … 1/2

By being Counter-Intuitive by First #CERB, then #CEWS, displacing those with different incomes, rules on you MUST go back to work or look for another job (Forcibly shifting the workforce), we avoided a #UBI to mold our economy one way instead of #Universally for more $$

More than 1.1M Canadian families are already receiving a #BasicIncome of $600+/mo. We know it works as an economic stimulus.

When the CERB payments end, millions of Canadians face total income loss. 4 out of 10 recent layoffs may be permanent.

This is why Canada needs a Recovery #UBI, to give Canadians more time and to build a floor for everybody to stand on as we recover from this crisis.#cdnpoli
Many many advantages to #BasicIncome #UBI and not enough evidence to show Governments are Incapable of implimenting. More people each day will agree this is not only for us, but for our #Childrenhttps://t.co/UbkQiZGdXJ

Your required to look for work, leave your resume, go in door to door? Your required to pay back if you "happened" to get a job while collecting benefits.#ToBeHeldDown by #CdnPoli Politics hurts everyone.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Basic Income since 2013. Here's a list of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments, unconditional cash transfer studies, and cash dividend research.

Do people not realize it will cost more to investigate and prosecute these cases where CERB was abused than to simply recover the money through taxes? Punitive measures end up costing the system more money in the end and they put additional burden on the justice system.

Ont disability is taking $900 from clients, in my case they took $1800 off my check for 1 month of CERB. ODSP has not topped up everyone & only those who didn't get CERB get the discretionary payment. We feel forgotten while liberals pat themselves on the back for doing so little

Halted Governments during Disasters is not the way to handle a pandemic. We have seen 24hr+ sittings before to debate hundreds of ominusbills yet we can't support Canadians at the moment of crisis. #UBI prevents these catastrophies https://t.co/uoO3SvvzVz

Do you think its time to #StopThePatchWork job that's plagued our nation? It is obvious that #COVID19 is not going away. A #BasicIncome could have been a legacy instead our #CdnPoli will be remembered for #12Minutes of #PoliticalDivide RT or Like if you agree

There isn't a single Social Assistance program in #Canada that could amount to as many people it could help.
While your here give a Like or RT if you know someone who would benefit from such a blessing in 2020
It is no longer time to play games with our lives. We did what was asked of you, we listened to "We have your back" yet we leave our #Seniors who some have #COVID19 with no support over terms. The #CdnPoli doesn't want #BasicIncome because it solved problems better than #Politics
— For The Future – I am NOT a UBI guy 🇨🇦 (@CanadaBasic) June 11, 2020
Is #BasicIncome ignored because it would create less opportunity for #Politics to control our lives? Is it ignored because a Politician has a better idea or rely on past methods to justify why not?
— For The Future – I am NOT a UBI guy 🇨🇦 (@CanadaBasic) June 11, 2020
Why must we spend years to achieve what is only inevitable.
#TakeBackCanada is trending today. What a coincidence that #BasicIncome is a movement too. We want to take back what we have earned and distribute it to those in need not in greed. #Canada can do it if we Unite together.
— For The Future – I am NOT a UBI guy 🇨🇦 (@CanadaBasic) June 11, 2020
Being #socialathome is about having the necessities you have to stay there. #COVID19 has dramatically changed the tone about how we issue support to those less fortunate & most vulnerable. #CdnPoli politics shouldn't be over prosecution or party grabs but on helping everyone

#BasicIncome is not just about a check. Through a nation-wide program we can prevent Government #Overreach, #Clawbacks, and #Politics over Increases due to Union Contracts, Budget increases, and Individualized Programs that don't grow you but grow 2% themselves yearly.
— For The Future – I am NOT a UBI guy 🇨🇦 (@CanadaBasic) June 12, 2020
When our society has a disaster or emergency, they will always be slow to respond with help if they need to create a program for each thing. #BasicIncome can be Nationwide with Local Area info to distribute faster. This means politicians wouldn't be able to pick and choose.
— For The Future – I am NOT a UBI guy 🇨🇦 (@CanadaBasic) June 12, 2020
. #PressConferences are taking more of your PM's time to complain about the party's view rather than actually Sitting in Parliament. Speak up and tell your MP your not satisfied with targets support and demands action towards Universal help for everyone that's low income.
— For The Future – I am NOT a UBI guy 🇨🇦 (@CanadaBasic) June 13, 2020
By having a National program in which everyone is "Registered" automatically by Income taxes, either be approved or denied, it can't be argued that future targeted support for Emergencies could be done in a more efficient manner, along with any future program. #BasicIncome #UBI
— For The Future – I am NOT a UBI guy 🇨🇦 (@CanadaBasic) June 13, 2020
Make no mistake. CERB can be a trial run for UBI. The stereotypes, the assumptions, are going to be proven wrong again and again.

Meanwhile, parliament’s spending watchdog has announced extending the current CERB program from June 1 to end of January will cost $57.8 billion. With the changes being proposed, that number is higher — $64 billion
— For The Future – I am NOT a UBI guy 🇨🇦 (@CanadaBasic) June 13, 2020
Yet #BasicIncome est @ $80 Billion… Are we doing it right?
If #BasicIncome was est @ $80 Billion by the PMO in 2018 but CERB costs $17 B/mth was #UBI misquoted? Only the #AuditorGeneralofCanada @OAG_BVG could tell you.
