We don’t know who needs to hear this, but β€œnobody deserves to live in poverty” shouldn’t be a controversial take.

Support Resolution 03–01–20, "Fighting Poverty with Guaranteed Basic Income" at the #NDPConvention2021 if you believe in building a more human-centred economy. #BasicIncome would be a raise for working Canadians, while lifting 3.2 million families out of poverty, ending poverty.

Americans lining up as far as the eye can see to access food banks. This tragedy isn’t happening in Canada because of #basicincome like supports CRB, CERB, and EI that kept 8 million people and out of food banks. We don’t need food banks, we have grocery stores we need #UBI

Heinz only needs 30 workers to create 45 MILLION Kgs of ketchup a year. With automation, there will be jobs - just not enough good paying ones for all of us. #UBI would make sure this technology works in humanity's favour. #cdnpoli #canpoli

Did you know that Sony can make a Playstation 4 console in 30 seconds, with only 4 people at the factory? It is just another example of how automation is fundamentally changing our economies, and displacing workers. We need #UBI. #canpoli asia.nikkei.com/Business/Com…
