Merger[edit]

I see that it has been proposed to merge Guaranteed Annual Income with this article. That was back in 2015. Anyone against this? Seems like the articles are on identical topics. if no one pipes up, I may just merge them myself.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 22:46, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Financial model" section[edit]

The whole paragraph looks like original research. The reference is too broad to be useful, the image has some unexplained elements and doesn't fit to the description. And none of this is Canada-specific. --mfb (talk) 07:12, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Green leader wants ubi. Could be added.[edit]

National Observer: "Green Party leader Annamie Paul is calling on the federal government to launch discussions on creating a national guaranteed livable income."

"“A guaranteed livable income is almost inevitably going to have to be part of the solution if we’re going to ensure that everyone has a social safety net beneath them,” Paul said at a roundtable discussion Monday with Independent Sen. Kim Pate and co-founder of Revenu de base Québec Jonathan Brun. Paul says the pandemic has shed light on the high number of people who would have been struggling to make ends meet — had it not been for emergency benefits."

I think this should be added in the article. Its from February 2021. Also if there has been any more debate around it.
