C-223, An Act to develop a national fram ...,Carbon tax,Guaranteed Income Supplement,Pipeline transportation
PETITION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA
  
    We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House of Commons to the following:
    Whereas:
    
      
        Bill S-233 and Bill C-223 propose to develop a framework for a universal basic income;
      
    
    
      
        A guaranteed basic income means that people would receive a paycheck even if they don't work or don't contribute to our communities;
      
    
    
      
        The cost of sending every Canadian money and managing an income distribution system would be in the billions of dollars;
      
    
    
      
        Universal income disincentivizes people from working and maintaining a job; and
      
    
    
      
        Taxes would have to be astronomically raised to pay for this new expenditure.
      
    
    Therefore we the undersigned, call upon parliamentarians to:
    1) Vote against Bill S-233 and Bill C-223 and any other legislation that encourages a universal income;
    2) End the carbon tax and reduce inflation that reduces people's purchasing power ; and
    3) Approve new and existing pipeline proposals getting Canadian energy to tidewater while stimulating job growth in Alberta and across Canada.
