BREAKING: Andrew Yang says we should stop taxing workers, and tax AI instead. That can fund UBI. "We should try to stop taxing labor."

A basic income should be there before the emergency, not depend on proving how bad things have become.

BREAKING: Budget 2026 tops up the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit by 50%. A family of four could get up to $2,570. Ottawa knows direct cash works. But a temporary top-up isn't a floor. Canadians need a basic income they can count on.

Canada should turn a share of resource revenues into a permanent public wealth fund. Spend the returns, preserve the inheritance, pay everyone a dividend.

In Budget 2026, we’re backing the Canadian artists who tell our stories. That means if you’re a Canadian artist, you won’t pay tax on up to $45,000 of income derived from your creative work.

Most important thing and what everyone complains about. Why wouldn't you want to have this power?

a basic income is also the freedom to turn down a job that treats you badly

As a business owner, I want customers with money to spend. Basic income can support the demand that makes investing, hiring and building new products worthwhile.

This sounds like scifi, until every citizen gets a share of the equity.

I want more people to have the security to try something useful, even if it might fail. That's one reason I support basic income.

A vacant lot should come with a carrying cost, not a reward for waiting. Taxing land value makes room for homes instead of land banking.

unpaid care is still work. a basic income would finally give people doing it some breathing room

The cost of not doing UBI exceeds the cost of doing UBI.

If you think helping people is expensive, wait until you calculate the cost of abandoning them. Emergency rooms, shelters, policing, courts, prisons, and the human cost of lives lost. Poverty is expensive. Homelessness is expensive. Neglect is expensive. Investing in people isn't just compassion, it's common sense. And sheesh, we're paying a fortune to keep doing the wrong thing.
