As a piss poor middle class family, I don't expect to benefit from UBI at all. On the other hand, I can already see how I'd be the prime target to shoulder the burden. In theory, I would think that middle class people (such as myself) will be opposed to this since we'll be the primary bearers of the program's costs. On the other hand, I have so little faith in Canadian voters' "wisdom" that I think the Liberals could still have a very real chance of winning the next election despite everything UBI represents...
