Then we need to plan for a renovation of our job system. We can't support human rights and fair trade for the only reason of people will lose their job?
Then we need to making losing your job not cause a recession. Provide all Canadians food shelter and clothing. At the cost of taxes on every dime made by any business in Canada as well as international trade on natural resources removed from Canada.
This would hurt for a while but Canada would be a super power if all of us only worked because we wanted to.
Think about how much it would actually cost to employ someone as a small business owner/new entrepreneur etc if the the wages offered not needed to consider cost of living and only for excess and entertainment.
We saw from CERB and other programs how beneficial people having money to spend is. It's so dumb that the powers that be are so blind.
Yes it will take time pain and numerous renditions to get this new way of living working and there will be a period of adjustment.
But there will be no incentive to sell your body in sex work just to survive.
There will be no reason to stay in an abusive relationship if you can afford to live on your own just because you want to.
It will provide an opportunity for people to move literally anywhere they want in Canada and just live there, spending money in those communities.
Those communities can grow and spend their time and effort on building a better place to live, instead of just figuring out how to help people survive
Arts culture education research all of these things will benefit from a glut of people who just want to be there and not because they feel forced to be there.
I'll lead this thing if you need me to, I would do it if no one else can see my vision, but I absolutely don't give a shit about any established business that might go kaput as we transition
