Not sure how you figure this. It's a pretty painless application process and everybody is getting approved.
It would honestly be better if they just said "free money for everyone, just click here" because the CRA will now have to spend the next decade trying to collect fraudulent benefits. The cost of the entire program would probably be 25% higher if you factor in what this will cost to audit and attempt to collect from fraudulent claimants in the future, plus the lawsuits from tax payers because Canadian leaders literally instructed people to just claim it even if they didn't qualify.
They promise the former but my money is on the worst-of-both-world combination. That's not how UBI is supposed to work at all.
Regardless of how it turns out, the middle class will end up paying for it as the effective tax burden on the 0.1% remains untouchable.
I hope everyone's enjoying their vacations, at least it's a nice summer.
