Maybe I should have worded it differently. I meant decentralization, couldn't come up with the word in my earlier comment. You're right, they're not mutually exclusive. It just seems like a weird way to do it: either have the government give everyone in Canada the same amount (with some minor adjustments here and there) or give the provinces more money to create their own Basic Income system.

Nevertheless, I think this is a great step forward and I'll be eager to follow this. Here's to hope they will implement this before I go to study there in September, I could use some funding!

In the plan, it seems like they want to run 3-5 year experiments of different Basic Income plans in different cities - with control groups.
