Minimum wages and universal basic income

[panamaniac]

Effectively the CERB is a guaranteed basic income and I'm hoping that as the government expands eligibility they realize that this is a good idea and it becomes a permanent universal policy. GST was only supposed to be a temporary measure, after all.

If we were to move to a UBI, I suspect it would be much less generous than the CERB.  Probably similar to what people get under Ontario Works (you don't want to know, it's pretty grim).
