On June 4, 2025, Senator Kim Pate spoke at second reading of Bill S-206 - a proposal to create a national framework for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income (GLBI).
GLBI offers a path forward - ensuring dignity, security, and real
opportunity for all. It's time Canada invests in a system that leaves no one behind.

Hey @scottsantens and #UBI friends! This Canadian House of Commons petition needs some help to get across the finish line in the next couple days! Can you help spread the word for more signatures!?

"We, the undersigned, Canadians supporting GBI, call upon the Government of Canada to implement a national framework for GBI that tests various funding and implementation models and their effects on poverty, inequality, innovation and labour productivity.”

Sponsored by MP Leah Gazan - proposed Guaranteed Livable Basic Income Bill. “Living in poverty drastically increases a person’s likelihood of experiencing gender-based violence including violence against #MMIWG2S. Call to Justice 4.5 explicitly calls for a #GLBI. It’s time for Canada to answer that call”. #BillC223 #UBI #cdnpoli

Most small businesses are self-funded, and the dwindling middle-class means less entrepreneurship. A Guaranteed Livable Basic Income #GLBI will be a boon for small and local businesses and help build healthy neighbourhood economies. #BillC223 #UBI #cdnpoli #poverty #homelessness

Very glad to see this Class Action approved and moving ahead. Not only is it right and fair for the people who got the financial rug pulled out from under them (causing some to die by suicide) but it makes it clear just how many people were helped by UBI! It was working!!! People were getting out of the hole our current systems create!

Pausing the irreverence for a moment for some serious times.

Living in poverty is linked to higher rates of disease, mental health distress, addictions, disability, and a shorter lifespan.

And helping people be healthy and cool, does, guess what? Right! the ability to help others and not get tied up with the legal system/other junk. In short everyone wins!
