A Proposal from Mike Bator PPC Candidate for Burlington

✍️ Bator’s Bills – The Series Begins

I’ve had enough of the identity politics, political theatre, and bills with nice titles but harmful substance—more taxation, more restrictions, more bureaucracy disguised as virtue.

It’s time for real solutions.

In 2021, I made a promise: if elected, my first private member’s bill would ensure that the tyranny we witnessed during COVID—forced shutdowns, jab-or-no-job mandates, censorship, and lawfare against peaceful citizens—could never happen again.

🏛 C-1: The Bodily Sovereignty and Freedom Act

Short Title: Bator’s Bill – An Act to Enshrine Bodily Autonomy, Protect Medical Privacy, and Permanently Prohibit Government-Imposed Lockdowns and Coercive

Medical Mandates

This bill would:

✅ Ban government-imposed lockdowns and emergency orders that override Charter freedoms

✅ Prohibit coercive vaccination mandates and protect medical privacy

✅ Outlaw “essential business” designations—because every business and every Canadian is essential

✅ Prevent abuse of law enforcement powers against peaceful protestors

✅ Hold those accountable who promoted the false narrative of “safe and effective” without scrutiny

This is not an official PPC bill, but it aligns with PPC principles and represents my personal contribution to the conversation on real reform and freedom-based governance.

Why I think UBI is a Very Bad Idea: How Bill S-206 pushes globalist control, fuels inflation, and replaces hard work with dependency

Why I think UBI is a Very Bad Idea

How Bill S-206 pushes globalist control, fuels inflation, and replaces hard work with dependency

🚨 Why UBI Is a Bad Idea

Universal Basic Income (UBI) isn’t freedom—it’s a costly, centralized distraction. It weakens motivation, inflates markets, and places an unsustainable burden on working Canadians. Most dangerously, it shifts decision-making from voters to unelected elites who want to dictate how we live, what we earn, and what we can own.

As the World Economic Forum famously declared:

Upgrade to paid

“You will own nothing and be happy.”

Well, I’m not buying it—and neither should you.

💰 1. Massive Cost, Massive Consequences

A livable UBI in Canada would cost tens of billions annually, potentially doubling federal spending.
This isn’t theoretical—BC’s Basic Income Panel confirmed the math. And the funding? It comes from your taxes—diverted from critical services, or worse, added to our already crushing debt. Government handouts don’t come from magic—they come from your pocket.

📉 2. Weakens Work Incentives

UBI undermines the link between effort and reward.
In pilot programs across North America, recipients reduced their work by 4–5%, amounting to over 100 hours per household per year. When you decouple income from productivity, you kill incentive. And without incentive, society stagnates.

📈 3. Fuels Inflation & Market Distortions

Dumping money into the economy without adding productivity drives prices up—especially in rent, groceries, and fuel.
It’s no surprise that inflation follows “free money.” As everyone chases the same goods with more cash, prices surge, making life harder for those already struggling. UBI doesn’t fix poverty—it reshapes and relocates it.

🎯 4. Blanket Relief Misses the Mark

UBI gives the same amount to millionaires and single parents alike.
That’s not fairness—it’s fiscal irresponsibility. We already have tools that target help where it’s actually needed. UBI wastes billions on people who don’t need support while short-changing those who do.

🛠 5. Doesn’t Fix Real Problems

UBI doesn’t address why people fall through the cracks.
It doesn’t build job skills. It doesn’t improve healthcare access. It doesn’t help people overcome addiction or trauma. Studies show no measurable improvements in education, job quality, or health—and the mental-health gains fade within a year.

⚖️ 6. Better Alternatives Exist

Canada already has better tools:

  • Targeted welfare
  • Skills training and apprenticeships
  • Affordable childcare
  • Healthcare supports
  • Earned-income tax credits that reward work

We need to empower, not pacify.
