Subject: [TURC] Basic incomes in Canada
For folks interested in the question of basic incomes in Canada, the CCPA just
published my long, detailed analysis of the topic within the Canadian context.
It examines poverty and costs of several basic income scenarios. It looks at
what basic incomes already exists, what would happen if we started cancelling
existing programs to fund a basic income and for whom a basic income would be
most effective.
See attached.
