I don't think I did. I said that taxpayers in Canada expect to pay American-style taxes while having European-style social services, and they can't. I also suggest that this country is proud of itself because of its social conscience. What makes us Canadians is that we reject many of the silly notions of that country to the south of us.
You used the words “guaranteed annual income”. Politically, I don't think that would fly in much of Canada. But a negative tax that talks about replacing programs with an income-by-right so that people can afford to integrate themselves into the community would make sense.
The other thing I commented on was that we need the facts. We look at many of these things from a perspective of left or right of centre. We need to find a way for all of us to find a common cause in building the best community. Part of that is ensuring that we have the right as human beings, as citizens of this country, to be treated with dignity and to participate as fully as possible within that community.
