Dr. James Mulvale, Dean and Associate Professor of Social Work at the University of Manitoba, believes that basic income is an idea whose time has come — as he articulates in a TEDx talk held at the University of Manitoba in April 2016.
The abstract for the talk summarizes, “By providing an economic floor for everyone in Canada, basic or guaranteed income would simplify and streamline our income security system, lower rates of poverty and inequality, and would enable us to advance environmental sustainability in the context of a steady state economy.”

Dr. Mulvale also recently participated in a debate on a basic income for Canadians and co-chaired the planning committee for the 2016 North American Basic Income Guarantee Congress, which took place at the University of Manitoba from May 11-14.
