As for the taxes, the idea is to tax the rich. Minimum wage earners pay a lot less (percentwise, since we still have some sort of a progressive taxation), and that would stay as it is, or (by a separate proposition, to combat the current crisis), wouldnt pay tax at all, just the compulsory contributions for healthcare and pensions.
Now, high earners may move away... On the other hand, they might not. We used to have very high taxes on businesses, and there were few cases of them moving out.

which canadian city was it?
do you tax all the min wage earners, then pay them back with the GMI
if you raise taxes on high earning individuals, probably businesses as well, dont you think it likely that those people move to a new area?
