UBI? It'll just be 'Ralph Bucks' all over again.

If we've learned nothing in the past decade we should have at least learned that we, as Canadians, are idiots. We are bad with our money.
You can implement UBI but we're just going to piss it away and then people will want all of the social programs we had to dismantle in order to afford UBI. In addition to UBI.
Thats the thing. It cant be both, its one or the other. If you want the state to take care of you then we cant have UBI.

0% chance anything that introduces billable health care is brought to the table. Would be political suicide.
Not sure why you are so certain it would go away if a UBI is introduced.
