2 reasons
1) One need to contribute and earned over $5000 and paid taxes in 2019. Filters out paper delivery boy who earned $50 dollars and now gets a check for $2k; or anyone, say seniors. My mom and dad should not just be getting a free hand out as they are already getting CPP & old age pension.
2) Just to give $2k to people who are already working right now just doesn't make sense.
You can be bias all you want, not like we are swimming in a surplus in any way shape or form right now. Heck, look at Mr Klein in Calgary who handed out $400 to everyone... didn't really do jack shit and now in a deficit shit hole asking for bailout on Oil and Gas

The idea of universal welfare is that money will end up back in the economy/govts hands
The argument against is that ppl will hoard the money, or export it, but those are really only outlier situations
