    UBI describes the policy I strongly support. The policy you support, I am on the fence about, and lean slightly against, for various reasons. It sounds like you, inversely, are pro means tested basic income, and anti universal basic income. Let’s allow people to make up their minds about these policies based on the facts and not anything resembling a semantic bait and switch.

      However 88 billion (the cost estimate in the OP article) divided by the population of canada is 2200

      By your own admission, your version of UBI wouldn’t be viable. You accuse me of a semantic bait and switch while misrepresenting the program the government is trying to implement.
