This is worth a discussion. Also we have been told that the grocery stores have small profit margins. I wonder if that is true for the private distributors and if the profits go to the same people surely they should be calculated together.

#DemocraticEquality for Canadians
When one leader controls the entire right side of politics, accountability disappears.
Proportional representation would let conservatives and right-leaning voices compete on ideas instead of loyalty, giving voters real choice and balance in Ontario.

On a windy day in 1900, a small fire in a defective chimney in Hull (now Gatineau), spread through the city. By the next day, 66% of Hull was gone, along with 20% of Ottawa.
This is the story of the Hull-Ottawa Fire.

Strategic voting means voting from fear not hope. If you believe Canada can be better and that Canadians deserve better than the offerings of either the Liberals or the Conservatives you should vote to help preserve the voice of the NDP in Parliament. #DemocraticEquality

Persuading the political Parties in Canada to support #CommonIncome programs will likely take a complete shift in how those Parties believe they can harvest votes effectively. As long as First Past the Post is the way we choose government UBI will not be a priority. #DemocraticEquality is progress.

Throughout the federal election campaign, I am looking at elections from Canada's past.
Today, it is the 1953 election
This election was the last time a party won back-to-back majority governments until 1988 and the last time for the Liberals until 1997.

I cannot help but believe that there is a strong element of John Rawls', A Theory of Justice, in the concept of #CommonWealth from which #CommonIncome would be paid.
There's a lot of misinformation out there about the concept of universal basic income. If you want to be well-informed, follow me and learn about what we know from studies in this thread:
