Dear basic income colleagues,
I am pleased today to share Toronto-based artist Graham Kent’s beautiful, short testimonial on the importance of basic income to unlocking the creative impulse within us all. I also wish to acknowledge Graham as one of the newer members of the growing national team of activists aligning with The BIG Push campaign – welcome Graham!
On behalf of the campaign I warmly invite further testimonials on the difference basic income could mean in your life and/or the lives of your fellow Canadians. If you would like to provide such a testimonial please send to me a short narrative (up to 400 words) or short video (1-3 minutes). We aim to collect several hundred such testimonials from across Canada to help reflect the need for and opportunity of basic income.
Best regards,
Rob

Canada should be seriously considering the Bolsa programme (Brazil)and Opportunidade (Mexico) as models.
It is a cash transfer but there are both incentives and sanctions based on performance.
The great Lula himself helped to sharpen the focus when he was President.
