Show Notes
Quebecs new welfare system, Project UNIR, is causing chaos for the provinces most vulnerable. Despite costing $31.5 million, its led to systemic glitches, poor communication, and fake debts. The algorithm-based system lacks personal touch, leaving people in distress. Frontline workers are burning out, and recipients are facing severe financial strain. Ministry data shows nearly 244,000 calls went unanswered. As the systems flaws persist, pressure mounts for human oversight to prevent further harm.
