UBI is not a novel idea. Countries that have a comprehensive social security scheme provide a cash payment as well […]

Mayor Shawn Pankow previously sent the Ministry of Community and Social Services (MCSS) a letter expressing interest for the town to be considered as a pilot site for the Basic Income Pilot Program, but the town’s committee […]
