On Wednesday I spoke at 2nd reading of Bill S-206 — a proposal to create a national framework for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income (GLBI).
Too many people are struggling to meet their most basic needs. It's time for Canada to invest in a system that leaves no one behind. #GLBI #PovertyReduction

We need big changes in this country, changes the Liberals and Conservatives won't ever support.

A Guaranteed Livable Basic Income would be life-changing.

The NDP under my leadership will champion a GLBI and deliver for Canadians what the Conservatives and Liberals never would.

It was a pleasure chatting with Lance from The Serfs!

We talked a lot about Heated Rivalry — and, oh yeah, also affordability, public options, a wealth tax, Palestine, worker power, electoral reform, GLBI, housing & why joining the NDP matters. Normal interview stuff!

One of the most important parts of independent media is that you can ask politicians the kind of questions that fake news corporate slop won't!

📢 This week, I will be reintroducing four key bills aimed at building a more fair Canada.

Each bill reflects the urgent need to uphold dignity, improve justice outcomes, and eliminate systemic barriers – especially for those most marginalized.

If we instituted UBI/GLBI, we would have a vastly reduced need for MAiD.

Poverty is a policy choice – and it’s time for change.

Proud to have introduced Bill S-206 to establish a national framework for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income.

New research confirms what many have long known: social assistance rates across Canada are too low. They keep people living in poverty and homeless. 1/4

This means building stronger employment protections and measures such as a living wages and protections such as a guaranteed livable basic income (GLBI), which will help ensure that everyone has the means to live their lives with dignity. 3/4

Awful idea that has failed every other time conservatives have inflicted austerity against the public. Instead, #TaxTheRich, #GLBI / #ubi (guaranteed liveable basic income), and no more subsidies for climate destruction. People who aren't worried about survival make a strong economy.

It just keeps working, and they keep not instituting this at the federal level. 'Experiment' after 'experiment'...

Giving low income families and people helps them. Full stop.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Greetings from the 'lower class', can you increase our hard earned pay cheques? Maybe even commit to instituting a GLBI?

🇨🇦 needs to ensure its response to Trump's #tariffs offer resilient, sustainable support to those most impacted and stabilize our economy. #GLBI can do just that, not only in times of crisis, but all of the time. #SenCA #CdnPoli #CdnMedia
A pile of ripped newspaper headings fades into a dark purple background. There is white text that reads “US-CAN Tariffs: Why Canada needs a GUARANTEED LIVABLE BASIC INCOME now more than ever.” A dark purple background with white headings and light purple text that reads “What is a tariff? A tariff is a tax that one country places on another country’s goods. Here, it means that anyone who wants to bring Canadian products into the USA will have to pay more every time they bring those goods across the border. This will likely result in less Canadian goods being imported, putting Canadian jobs at risk” and “What is a GLBI? A guaranteed livable basic income (GLBI) is a social support that creates an income floor, ensuring that no one is forced into poverty. GLBI would ‘top up’ anyone whose income falls below that threshold. It could take many forms, such as income tax adjustments or GST/HST tax credit expansions, to name a few.” A dark purple background with white headings and light purple text that reads “What tariffs did the US impose? The USA imposed 25% tariffs on virtually all Canadian imports and 10% tariffs on imported Canadian energy. This is going to hurt Canadians and Americans alike. The last tariff war between Canada and the USA was from June 2018 - May 2019. Since July 2020, the USA and Canada have been trading under the USMCA, which is up for renewal in 2026” and “How is Canada responding? Canada has announced retaliatory tariffs of 25% on $30 billion worth of imported American goods, increasing to $155 billion over the next 21 days. Canada is still considering other non-tariff options. Canada has previously indicated that it would look to support employees impacted by tariffs, such as through adjusting the employment insurance criteria. However, no concrete safety net for employees has yet been put forward.” A dark purple background with white subheadings and light purple text that reads “How would GLBI help? GLBI would: Offer stability, both to Canadians and our economy as a whole; Ensure people are able to afford the necessities, even if their job is impacted by the tariffs; Stimulate local economies, which would have ripple affects bottom-up; Provide sustainable support to Canadians in this crisis and beyond” and “How can I help promote GLBI? Contact your representatives at all levels and community leaders to urge them to advocate for GLBI; Teach your family and friends about GLBI and how it could help; Join your local basic income advocacy group; Share this post to spread the word and correct mis/disinformation about these new tariffs and how GLBI should be the solution!”

🚨News flash: @PBO_DPB report highlights how guaranteed livable basic income reduces poverty at surprisingly little cost. We can invest in communities to redress economic inequities. #GLBI #SenCA #CdnPoli shorturl.at/rCjnI
A graphic of a ripped report cover page that reads “NEWS RELEASE: Guaranteed Livable Basic Income Could Cut Poverty Rates by 40%. The bottom line of the PBO’s latest report? Canada can significantly reduce poverty at minimal cost by implementing a guaranteed livable basic income (GLBI). As Canada faces tariffs and increasing economic uncertainty, a GLBI would ensure no one is abandoned to poverty and simultaneously build Canada’s economic capacity and social well-being. GLBI is not a new idea. It is an idea whose time has come.”
