There's a simple way to make sure everyone can afford basic essentials — and it’s supported by MPs from all parties, economists, and a majority of Canadians123. A guaranteed, livable basic income, coupled with investments in basic services, would ensure everyone has what they need to get by.
Prime Minister Trudeau has promised to transform our social security system — but so far, he hasn’t committed to Basic Income. A huge petition showing that there is public support for a guaranteed payment of $500/week, could be enough to convince Trudeau to invest in Basic Income — and do it quickly so our economy can weather any surge in cases of the virus.
Sign the petition to Prime Minister Trudeau calling for a guaranteed, livable basic income now.
Prime Minister Trudeau:
Tackle economic inequality with a guaranteed $500/week income for all.
