When writing to your MP, please personalize your message by adding, for example, that you live in their riding and why you support a Basic Income Guarantee.
Please send more than one letter. An MP who hears from you more than once knows that this issue is important to you! If you don’t hear back from them, phone their constituency office and ask to meet with them.
You can find email addresses for all MPs, including Ministers here. When you send a letter to your MP, please copy Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, President of the Treasury Board Anita Anand, and to Health Minister Mark Holland. Their addresses are included in the draft letter.
Please also copy the Senator(s) from your province . Their addresses are here.
And please send a copy to us so that we know you have taken action and who you have written to. It will help us keep the pressure up when we speak with your MP, by reminding them that voters in their riding have written to them about a basic income guarantee and that this issue is important to them. Our email address is included in the draft email.
Thank you for advocating for a Basic Income Guarantee, ensuring there is an income floor beneath everyone’s feet, so that no one in Canada is living in poverty.
