It might feel a little low (especially if you live in Vancouver/Toronto) but it covers some 9 million of us.

I imagine they'll keep revisiting the number or index it to inflation. But really, these programs are designed to help the most needy and at 90k it is already one of our largest social programs.

Yeah, it's truly fantastic that they're aggressively rolling this out to whom it's most needed, first.
