My concern us that the idea is to save money, not address poverty.

The problem with not doing it right is that it won’t reap the real benefits. In our winner-take-all system, subsequent governments don’t continue good work done by their predecessors (why #Mincome hit a brick wall) but in this case, if the LPO does it wrong, they can look forward to the NDP & Greens (at least…maybe even Conservatives) campaigning on doing Basic Income right.

But I hope we’re wrong, too, because done right it would be amazing.
