City Appeals To Feds For Basic Income Project

An appeal to the federal government from the mayors of Hamilton, London, Lindsay and Thunder Bay to bring back the province’s basic income pilot project.

Keith Hobbs tells us it was a big mistake for the Ford government to cancel it.

“People who have already signed leases are probably in trouble. They are not going to be able to afford their home and how do they break that lease, maybe they’ve enrolled in a course and how do they pay for that course now?”

However, the mayor is skeptical with progress considering a PC government is in Toronto, and Liberal in Ottawa.

  • Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
