would be wise to the Ford brother's insane sense of entitlement by now. I guess not. It's a crying shame that such a cutting edge and liberating program like Basic Income is now on the chopping block because of a blockhead like Ford. Cut right from the same mold as Trump, this asshole will destroy everything good about Ontario.

As a neighbor of Ontario (60 miles SE of Canadian border) I love to keep up with what's happening with my neighbors to the north. Unfortunately what I've been seeing lately is some Canadians adoption of the U.S. worst traits. More greed, more hate, more gun violence, and more people like Donald Trump ie. Doug Ford. I sincerely hope the people of Ontario reject Ford's vision for them, and return to the basic goodness that's in most Canadians' hearts. I wish more people in the U.S. were like our Canadian friends.

I was actually more interested in this video about how the family's lives had changed from the program. They were starting to dream about what they actually wanted to do/could do when extra income made it so they weren't just wage slaves.

Of course, greedy pigs would have to kill this excellent program.

I'm more surprised that Alberta hasn't done something similarly bone-headed. Or even more so.

You deserve credit for posting this.
Secondly, I know university students who took their education in Economics classes, paired that with back alley gossip about the Kathleen Wynne Liberal government and said a vote Dougie here is the way to go. I try telling them they are nuts but they never listen.
