I have quite a few creative ideas, but am too tired to write them down rn. I’ll go the easy, lazy way (and write about more legislation ideas tomorrow):

Proportional representation like Germany. In every election, the voter votes for an individual and a party. The individual is chosen to represent the riding through STAR voting (my version). After all MPs are elected, to ensure proportional representation according to the party votes (the second vote that voters cast), individuals from party lists are put into parliament.

This way, we get riding representation and party representation.

    A UBI is intended to be inexpensive to administer, this is why everyone gets it unconditionally, but income taxes need to be increased so that the wealthy end up paying back what they got and more, such that it balances the cost of giving it to everyone.

      Well that’s the thing ain’t it? Taxing the rich? Unless we have strong legislation on that with higher tax rates and get rid of loopholes, we could achieve it.

      IF we do those things.
