Your right in that the reporting needs a lot of help in this article. It does a terrible job of painting a picture of how the province's welfare works today. Welfare in Ontario strongly disincentives work. Basic income may not be enough, but the current system is fundamentally broken. It punishes people who do what they can, by cutting them off from the system. So, by working, in many cases people will earn less. I also would like a break down of the savings the province had on healthcare. There is a lot of potential in Ontario and we need to help people get there. Health, wellness, education, and supporting those in a bad spot financially are all ways to do that. Anecdotally, I live just outside of Hamilton, one of the places the trial was run. That city needs help desperately. For Canada's standard, it's in a very very rough place. It needs every bit of help it can get.
