Source URL (basicincomecanada.org) returns HTTP 403 when accessed via WebFetch, blocking AI verification. The secondary source on basicincome.org also returns 403. Web searches corroborate that Keith Hobbs, as Mayor of Thunder Bay in 2015, publicly supported basic income and linked it to self-worth plus a housing-first strategy (e.g., "Hobbs believes basic income provides a certain degree of self-worth to every individual" and "Hobbs thinks the best strategy going forward is to implement a basic income paired with a housing-first strategy"). Author attribution (Keith Hobbs, Mayor of Thunder Bay) and vote alignment (for -> "Implement a universal basic income") both check out. The exact verbatim wording ("set income" / "would work wonders") could not be confirmed because the primary source blocks AI access. Year is 2015; Hobbs left office in 2018 and has not made recent public statements on the topic, so replacing with a 2025/2026 quote was not feasible.
