Canadian province Ontario to pilot Guaranteed basic income (GBI) plan.

[That Guy]

I am not sure it would take a hit but U are absolutely right, a motorized wheel chair for a disabled person costs almost 30kCAD which 75% is paid by ODSP. I would never be able to afford it.

Thankfully, there seem to be signs that programs such as the national health insurance, ODSP and a few new initiatives (such as a plan for universal prescription drug plan) are going to continue on and not get cut.

Still, we'll have to see what happens. The plan is to roll out the program this fall, to a few communities as a pilot project. If things work out, the plan is to expand it over a few years to cover all of Ontario.

Though, I doubt it will work. I fully expect the government to screw it up and cancel the program after a few years. They couldn't even get the HST to work properly.
