What's your opinion of the Basic Universal Income that's being piloted in Ontario, if I may ask?
Its a good idea.
Automation will replace jobs, and even without that the quality of Canada’s jobs is deteriorating and has been for a while.
I’ve personally experienced the financial hardships that a poor job market mixed with precarious employment represents. It put me further in debt and required me to move back home with my parents. Because of it I’m back at university (putting myself further into debt), hoping that when I graduate (again), this time that job prospects will be better.
I don’t believe you should end up in debt or poverty just because you can’t get a job.
It will also help fix issues surrounding homelessness, access to university, access to healthcare, and stimulate the economy.
