A Basic Income Guarantee For All: The Time Has Arrived with Robert Rainer (Community Classroom)
February 09, 2016
BIG is not a new idea. In fact, forms of basic income exist as certain programs in Canada, notably programs for children under 18 and for seniors. Furthermore, forms of basic income have been tried on small scales or are being implemented on large scales in numerous places around the world including the U.S., Brazil, India and Namibia. Most recently Finland became the first country in the world to express intent to introduce a universal basic income.
The conversation in Canada about basic income seems reaching more and more people in small pockets across the country. Taking into consideration the future of our economy and the climate, it is timely that we host this event on BIG in hope to generate dialogues across political spectrums and collectively shape what a universal basic income could look like and how it could be implemented in Canada.
