If you now want to restrict UBI so that only the bottom 10% of Canadians get UBI...you have successfully increased the premium to $6250 / year or $520/month.

Congratulations...you are now at the mercy of every military power in the world...while getting a boot out of our alliances (eg. NATO) because they wont carry our freeloading deadweight. In exchange you are now paying the poorest 10% of Canadians half a rent cheque.

I dont disagree with the concept of UBI...but if you are going to spread your opinion like it's a fact...at least do the most basic of research.
+1 skill. You owned him.
