Elaine Power joins me for part two of Building Trust in Your Community.
Elaine is a co-founder of the Kingston Action Group for a Basic Income Guarantee. Last week, we discussed the premise of a basic income for all vulnerable Canadians, pointing specifically to a past Manitoba study called Mincome and a more recent Ontario project, as well as referring to Elaine Power and Jamie Swift’s recently published book, The Case for Basic Income: Freedom, Security, Justice.
This week, the current Canadian social and political climate and how a basic income might be implemented. And how’s this for questioning another fundamental assumption: did you received the CERB last year? If yes, how did it change your life?
