Any basic income project will become politicised - it is the nature of the beast. Never mind that now the Ontariowe Liberals are involved and in my universe have zero credibility.

A more simple minded approach to disappearing jobs might be to merely shorten the legal work week hours - say from 40 to 30 - an let free market forces sort out the details as suits the business environment. I personally would have loved the extra free time during my busy career.

This simple approach might evade political interference in the labor market economy.
