It would have been nice if Ontario was permitted to finish our Basic Income pilot project. It would have been a valuable other data point. Sadly it was killed off before we could see any results.

The project in progress, however, saw people leave their existing jobs to, get this: go back to school full time so they could improve their lot, have children, or start businesses.

[Instead they got the rug pulled out from under them ~1 year into the program by the new government after being told they could rely on the program for 3 years]

I know it's a bit of snark, but your take is a bit simplistic and hand-wavy.
