This is known as "Helicopter Money" - go look it up.
No matter how good this sounds to everyone, it is TERRIBLE and it is a TOTAL disaster for not only the economy but for humanity in general if the trend were to accelerate, which it most likely will. It's the beginning of the end. If no-one had to ever work and be productive to earn money, then why should we EVER have done so? Think about it.
The problem is that when you tell people "We're going to give you money for nothing" - no-one will ever think this is a bad thing. At the beginning it wont be, but this is a very complex subject that most average dicks like you will never understand it.
And by the way the US has been wanting to do this for ages and Canada is just another stooge in this game. Make canada do it and, if it works, it makes it more acceptable to do it in the US when things really fall apart.
Policies like "Helicopter Money" generally end up with high inflation and eventually it can result in hyper-inflation. This is whole thing is looking more and more like the 1930's IMO.
