It was a busy week from the home office.
I was pleased to speak at virtual events about how green jobs and Basic Income should be part of the COVID-19 recovery. And as May 1 nears, I will continue pushing for residential rent relief. #onpoli #ONBasicIncome #RentRelief #UBI

Closing thoughts from #ONBasicIncome Q&A
"Let's have an inclusive #COVID19 recovery. A #BasicIncome gives us the runway to make this happen. Let's model it after the Canada Child Benefit, which has lifted so many families out of poverty." @floydmarinescu #ONBasicIncome
"My favourite thing about #BasicIncome is that it crosses political lines and ideologies and speaks to everyone. Just like human rights." -Josephine Grey #ONBasicIncome
Myth busting: Does 'free money' kill the motivation to work?
@floydmarinescu: Not if you let them keep additional income.
@GolemJessie: Not what I saw in the #BasicIncome pilot. People WANT to work.

All panellists agree that we should increase taxes/penalties on polluters and increase fees for our natural resources in order to pay for #ONBasicIncome
FYI we costed this out in the 2018 election and found that it can be done without breaking the bank!
"According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, a 3% GST increase is what it would cost to end poverty. We should have done this yesterday."
@floydmarinescu #ONBasicIncome #onpoli
"The idea of freedom and independence doesn't get enough attention when we talk about #UBI. If my mom had economic freedom, she could have escaped domestic violence,"
@floydmarinescu sharing a personal story on how #UBI would have changed his life. #ONBasicIncome #onpoli
"People were using it to start a business, go back to school, buy fresh food for their children, escape a poverty trap they were stuck in forever."
@GolemJessie, one of Ontario's #BasicIncome pilot participants sharing stories of how it changed people's lives. #ONBasicIncome
"I see no reason against it. And YES, we can afford it." #ONBasicIncome
"Wages have stagnated. Cost of living has skyrocketed. Employment is more precarious. We need something to stabilize us."
Human rights advocate Josephine Grey on why a #BasicIncome makes so much sense in a post-covid world. #ONBasicIncome #onpoli
"You see people from the left, the right and the centre supporting Basic Income as a way to address poverty and income inequality."
