#Dignity4All should be the ultimate goal.
#Ubi4All is the core ingredient to achieving that goal. It is not the be all end all.
The goal will require a change in mindset and restructuring of our system of values. There is no better time to make this change than now. 1/12

We need to improve and protect #HealthCare4All. This will require ensuring there is equal opportunity to the HC we need, when we need it. We need to protect all canadians no matter who they are or where they live. 2/12

We need #Shelter4All. #Ubi will help us rid our nation of poverty. It will ensure all 🇨🇦 citizens have access to one of our most basic needs -shelter. Improving living conditions will improve health, mental & physical. 3/12

We need to ensure there is proper #Nutrition4All without charging extra for something because it has the words “organic” or lactose-free” or “gluten-free” written on the package. These are basic needs for many 🇨🇦 citizens. 4/12

All 🇨🇦 citizens should have access to all levels of education so we need #Edu4All. Education is not a privilege of class. It is a right of birth. 5/12

#Mobility4All makes it possible for all 🇨🇦 citizens to travel to where they need to go - for education - for work - for shelter - for health care. 6/12

Many 🇨🇦 citizens cannot attend live events. They are for the privileged few. We need #SubsidizedEvents4All. This requires a longer discussion/thread but allows all citizens access to all events and insitutions. 7/12

#Ubi4All - unqualified cuts back on demeaning bureaucratic delays to get the $$ in the hands of the citizens. It cuts back on jobs, yes, but jobs that can be transferred to other more pressing matters. 8/12

#Ubi4All would be available to every registered 🇨🇦 citizen in the 🇨🇦 census. Simple avoidance of the bureaucratic roadblocks. Those previously employed with #EI could keep the #Census updated on a regular basis. 9/12

We need all national parties who represent all 🇨🇦 provinces to work together for the common goal of #Dignity4All: @liberal_party @NDP @CPC_HQ. Politicians and citizens need to put the bitterness and hatred aside. #JustGetAlong. 10/12

If you don’t understand #Ubi or how it’s immediate implementation will help everyone follow:
@scottsantens
@AndrewYang
@HumanityForward
@ubi_works
They will keep you informed & provide links in their posts to other informed experts on #Ubi. 11/12

Most of all, if you really believe in #Dignity4All then push your MP’ to implement #Ubi now. Push your MP to make the reforms to each of the points above until the goal is met. Make this a better life for all Canadians, not just yourself.
