Great commentary here!

In P.E.I., a model for a guaranteed basic income has emerged that is feasible and affordable. As Benoît Robidoux, Wayne Simpson and Barbara Boraks explain, this proposal would virtually eradicate poverty among working-age adults and their children. options-po.li/3JooleZ

“our research suggests that a basic income guarantee could have a significant impact on the economic uncertainties faced by farmers and fishing communities in Canada. It could also contribute to a more just sustainable transition in the food system.” 💯@KLowitt & @CharlesLevkoe👏

Basic income could play an important role in creating a more just and sustainable food system theconversation.com/basic-income-c…
