Last week, we were thrilled to host "Universal Basic Income: Building Economic Security in New York", a powerful discussion exploring how Universal Basic Income (UBI) could create economic stability for our communities. UBI is a policy proposal that would provide every person

🇨🇦 Respect to Senator Kim Pate for championing a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income in Canada. She's right: poverty is more expensive than UBI. The UK should follow suit—trials in Finland 🇫🇮 and Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 show basic income boosts wellbeing, trust, and opportunity. #UBI

🇨🇦 has the wealth to invest in UBI. Conservative PM Brian Mulroney support of UBI was ahead of its time. That time has imo arrived.

Providing a basic income for those who need it would be a game changer. At an estimated cost of $3.6 billion saving up to $90 billion in poverty related issues. And all Canadians benefit as a result.

The fact that 'critics' continue to ignore the decades of evidence in this thread shows you so many of them are driven by ideology instead of truth

Geoffrey Hinton won a Nobel Prize for his AI work. When asked on the Diary of a CEO what we should do about AI wiping out jobs, his response to UBI as part of the solution: “I think that’s a good start.”

It's so gratifying to see a member of our senate boldly stake their political capital on one of the most important ideas of our time. 🇨🇦 Pate's bill, regardless of where it ends up, has created a public platform to debate half a century of evidence in good faith. You've probably
