What should you do when your partner starts an argument?
1) Avoid being defensive
2) Try to see things from their perspective
3) Ask 2 questions for every one statement

BREAKING: Bill C-22 to implement a Canada Disability Benefit — a guaranteed basic income for people with disabilities — has passed parliament.

A major achievement in ensuring everyone in Canada can live with dignity!

When dating, don't be impressed by someone liking you. That's not really the goal. Focus more on whether a potential partner respects you.

BREAKING: Basic Income motion put forward by the City Council of Hamilton was passed unanimously.

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

Interesting new polling out of Germany about unconditional basic income:

53% support, 36% oppose

UBI amount with most support is 1200 euros monthly

Taxes with most support is higher income and wealth taxes

Strong support for true unconditionality

Canada already has a #BasicIncome for families, and it works.

Over 1.1M families get $600+/month unconditionally from the CCB, and it grows the economy $2 for every $1 invested. Basic Income is a good investment in Canadians.

-Minister Jean-Yves Duclos

"This Government believes in a Basic Income Guarantee. And everyone in this room knows about that BIG.

We need the Federal Government to come on board so we can put BIG in place so that we can eliminate poverty in Prince Edward Island by 2035."

Canadians of all stripes are now seriously discussing #BasicIncome as a tool to solve poverty and provide an effective defense for the economy as a whole.
