The majority of Canadians support Ontario’s basic income program but four in ten question whether the magic number – $17,000 – is enough.
An online survey of around 2,000 Canadians by Campaign Research found that 53 per cent approve of Ontario’s basic income pilot, which will support a select 4,000 low-income earners in Hamilton, Thunder Bay and Lindsay with up to $16,989 per year and $24,027 for a couple (less 50 per cent of any earned income) in a bid to pin down the effects it can have on job prospects and quality of life. There will be an additional $6,000 per year for individuals with disabilities.
