    Cool plan, but I think they should try making ‘things’ free instead. Such as food, phone/internet, and rent.

    Cover the basic necessities, then if you want to have ‘stuff,’ you need to work.

    I think it’s a better incentive, as if they give people free money, then it’s possible to be abused.

    Canada doesn’t even give people on disability enough to afford rent, let alone groceries, power bills, car insurance, etc.

    Maybe start there. Help the disabled survive.

      This is actually a big reason why there are so many opponents of the MAID law.

      Too many people with disabilities are taking the euthanasia option simply because, they don’t have any way to live.
