I think this is very much in the fledgling stage and probably actually will never come to reality, despite the Green Party and the NDP seemingly proposing the idea - neither are really a force in Canada. NDP maybe a little, the Green Party is a joke though. Thankfully.
As for me, I'm going to lose it if fricking Turdeau or that crook Wynne institutes it in Canada. It's a lousy idea. And the proponents go further to say it should be in ADDITION to all the other welfare programs we have.
Precisely how much do I, as a contributing member of society need to pay someone else, who doesn't contribute meaningfully to society, to reach this magical political correctness goal that the Liberals have set forth for us?
It is crap - either do something that society values and reap the rewards, or don't, but don't expect society to kick in and support you in that case.
Edit: Do other countries have this already? Is it working? Lups

I think they are doing it in Switzerland but the amount isn't enough to survive on, something like $8K a person. But I agree it makes everything more costly for everyone and will raise prices.
