@mpjgregoire The National Post is a right-wing magazine, and the op-ed piece is predictably a character assassination piece. The piece’s author appears unsatisfied that the experiment didn’t set out to prove what they wanted (i.e. uplift hard drug users, chronically homeless people, tent-dwellers), but then goes on to imply that the limits of the study amounts to dishonesty on the part of the study authors.

The study’s authors literally stated “cash transfers are not a panacea” in the intro/abstract of the paper, but this op-ed writer demands that it prove that it is. No wonder they’re disappointed.
