What a universal basic income could look like in Canada
About this episode
Since the COVID-19 pandemic shut down many sectors in our economy, the federal government has been doling out cash to Canadians.

Dave Breakenridge is joined by national post political reporter Stuart Thomson about what a basic income would look like, who is pushing this idea, and what some of the potential pitfalls are.
