For all those that say she is looking for votes well that part just isn't true. She is going to make 4000 people or families happy, but piss off and alienate over 100,000 people that were denied after they applied.
This whole thing is like an OLG for 4000 people but the rest of us that are disabled or Homeless or have very low income well were just left out in the cold..

3 year pilot project meaning you would have to give them a majority government for another 4 years and then hope they actually carry out their promise which I doubt they will. The beer and wine in grocery stores was a pilot project too which after Wynne said was not a good idea after all but once she got her majority she had to continue it.

How about in BC? Many low income needed not only in Ontario but in the entire Canada. I hope this basic income will reach out a caregiver who are taking care of disabled family member, whose income is completely zero, furthermore many family member who suffered setback and no income generated because of unemployment and disability must be consider for the basic income. Hopefully the government will not go selective but as a general rule pilot project must be for everyone who deserve it.

We all collectively already finance corporations (including those not based in Canada) with corporate welfare subsidies, and many govs around the world turn a blind eye to corporate tax evasion in off-shore tax havens, so why not finance some of the 99% with this limited attempt at fairness ? Big cities are places to try this, not small towns, because the most vulnerable people in Toronto, Vancouver and many other cities are struggling to make the ends meet, and the problem is not lack of... » more

I'm on disability and I disagree with this. Not only is it irresponsible, it's trying to buy votes and that makes it wrong. Remeber McGuinty mailing out $200 to every family when he also said "I will not raise taxes"? Well if this isn't just more of the same I'd be shocked. Not one Liberal should be voted into the Provincial Legislature in the upcoming election. Vote them all out.

With digital automation of everything from pizza to car manufacturing, it's clear that Canadians are having a hard time finding entry level work.
The next Ontario election may well be the biggest landslide, but not for the reason stated.

This is an interesting social experiment. Because it's people like me who work hard, and pay BIG taxes to pay for this largess, I hope it works to get people up and off the sofa, into a real job. However: if these 3 communities have large middle east immigrant, north Africa or Caribbean populations it will turn into a sinkhole.

I don't have kids... why should I work and be forced to pay taxes to subsidize your kids education?
I practically never use health care... why should I work and be forced to pay taxes to subsidize health care for others?
I hardly ever drive my car on the public roads... why should I work and be forced to pay taxes to subsidize public roads for everyone else?
Slippery slope...

This is an idea whose time is coming whether we like it or not. With automation taking over many jobs already and many more to go in future, at some point there won't be enough jobs for our population, at which time either the world moves away from huge profits going to the very few corporations...to being shared among all workers -- or workers are done away with.

Population of Ontario ... 4,887,510
Minimum payout ... $17,000
Cost per anum ... $83,087,670,000
If half the people draw half of the benefit...
That's still, $20,771,917,500
Simple question ... where is all this money going to come from?
They can't get it from taxes, because that would just be taking it right back.
So... Ms Wynne, how you gonna pay for this?

i think its a good idea as long as the people do something with it and try to make a better life for themselves and family. Lots of ideas are thought about when you do not have money. Lots of the idea's could end up making billions in the future. How do the rich get rich,some do it with the silver spoon, but others lie cheat and steal to get their way to the top. But the real ones are the ones that start out with nothing to get there with hard work and great ideas (creative thinking) that pool... » more

I haven't had income for years.
Little bit I ever did make, went to repairs.
Don't qualify for anything.
CR keeps from real job.
I don't like the idea of being studied.
I grow own food already. Helps.
Prefer people just give me some odd jobs.
I'm old. My brain doesn't match the body.
lol

@Chris Burke Besides, location is factor. Long before my trauma of emotion on several fronts forced me to refuse flanking and I excelled towards my financial freedom. I chose not to take it. I left my 'homeland' I took all the skills my family had taught me about work. I climbed mountains. lol I did what I put my mind too, regardless of the obstacles. No lie. Seriously. I'm crazy. But I found the closet thing to piece.
The very thing that can be taken away instantly. like all things before.
I wanted to see reforms to the systems, that stop humiliating people on paper. But yeah, I can't even leave the house, my wife can hardly keep up. But yeah, walls do appear,after so many hurdles. If there is never an issue before, I always found a new one. lmao« less

It is coming eventually. Might be another 20 years but it's going to happen. Automation is expected to take over almost everything including medical and law. All Long Distance Truck drivers are going to lose their jobs. All taxi drivers. All retail clerks. All restaurant employee's. Gone, gone gone. In Japan, robots bring your food to the table.

Whenever I come here and read the uneducated, unhelpful, shallow, finger pointing comments it irks me to no end and I can't believe that some of you may actually be my neighbors, my coworkers.
So you get a speeding ticket and it's because the cop didn't like your face? You lost your job and it's because of the gawd darn Liberals? Your dog can't poop outside anymore ever since the Conservatives took office?
Is that how you see the world around you?

Is it luck ? I know people who have never put one honest day of work in their entire life. You see , they were fortunate enough to have parents with wealth.
As a poor sucker I had to work during the summertime when I was still in college like many others.
Real justice would see that even as a poor sucker you could choose to work or not to work. The greatest majority would choose to work because want it or not the work you do defines your identity. Despite what the cons want you to believe, Most... » more

I strongly believe ending poverty starts with the children.
If a child isn't distracted by a life constantly worrying whether or not they will have enough food to eat, or a roof over their head or a family life always in turmoil because they live in poverty, they have a much better chance doing better in school and ending the cycle.
A guaranteed income is only part of what is needed. Every child should have enough to eat so they can concentrate in school. They should be able to attend post... » more

@Robert Borden I totally disagree with you. I grew up in poverty and it was my mom working full-time who inspired me to work hard at school and earn several degrees and succeed financially. You won't succeed if you don't want to work hard. All this money will do is make more people lazy and more people dependent on government. If the government wanted to help the children, they would make sure the following were low for everyone -- utilities, healthy foods, transportation, physical fitness,... » more
