Just viewing a webinar hosted by @ubi_works ... it’s on now if you still want on board. Just started.
Exciting - initial address from @AndrewYang
Love his enthusiasm and “MATH”
- #Ubi in Canada would lift 3.2 Canadians above the poverty level
- 4 in 10 jobs will be lost during the pandemic and will not exist after.
- #Ubi seen as the means to keep the economy going
- looks like this webinar is being recorded for future viewing (phew) - lots of info coming across, including funding solutions
Talk now centres about long term scenario with 5 year projected goals in place.
Proper funding will be essential to success of #Ubi implementation ... but there is a workable solution that has been developed
The entire webinar will be published on both he @ubi_works YouTube channel and on the @ubi_works website.
This will be a great resource, especially as they are answering questions in the chat as the webinar proceeds. Hopefully, these Q&A will also be published.
Many questions coming in regarding when #Ubi can be expected and how do we move it along faster.
Answers:
- contact your local MP’s - again and again!
- be informed about as many aspects of #ubi as possible
- gather #Ubi resources to help others understand benefits of #Ubi4All
#Ubi brings more citizens above the poverty level and engages more people in the New Economy that will emerge as a result of the pandemic. Benjamin Tal, CIBC
👍🏼👍🏼 #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
