Wouldn't work if only implemented locally. It's got to be provincially (at a minumum), but more likely federally. Like in the scenario where only one province had healthcare, people would move to take advantage of it, increasing the burden on one region while lightening another. Basic income needs to be universal (at least within ones region of free movement) for it to work.
