I didn't think passing Bill C223 to study a Guaranteed Livable Income would be an easy win, but neither did I think it would be so strongly defeated.
And this was just for a study! The cost would have been minimal, but I guess politicians were afraid the study results might have indicated they've done a poor job of providing the social safety net they claim we have in Canada.

Living in poverty is linked to higher rates of disease, mental health distress, addictions, disability, and a shorter lifespan.
Poverty is a policy choice that hurts and kills. A #GLBI will help pull people out of poverty and take stress off our public health system. #BillC223 #BasicIncome
Basic income has been repeatedly tested, proven, and is ready to improve the lives and well-being of all people in Canada.
Please use this tool to urge your representatives to support of #BillC223 for a #GLBI #BasicIncome.
It's time for the excessive profits to STOP lining the bank accounts of Executives and shareholders and to go back into our communities so we can ALL benefit!
Bill C-223 is approaching second reading in the House of Commons, it's time to make some noise and raise awareness about #Basicincome!
The current system of conditional Income Supports doesn’t work, isn't enough, and only adds further stress to people's lives who are already struggling and stressed.
It's time to redistribute wealth from the ultra-wealthy to our communities.
It’s time for the rich to pay their fair share.

Most small businesses are self-funded, and the dwindling middle-class means less entrepreneurship. A Guaranteed Livable Basic Income #GLBI will be a boon for small and local businesses and help build healthy neighbourhood economies. #BillC223 #UBI #cdnpoli #poverty #homelessness

Pausing the irreverence for a moment for some serious times.
Living in poverty is linked to higher rates of disease, mental health distress, addictions, disability, and a shorter lifespan.
And helping people be healthy and cool, does, guess what? Right! the ability to help others and not get tied up with the legal system/other junk. In short everyone wins!
