The movement for a basic income guarantee in Canada gained further support as 178 Canadian physicians have signed a letter delivered to Ontario’s Minister of Health that states their support for a basic income. Current health issues in Canada clearly show links between income level and health outcomes, and these physicians believe that a basic income could reduce toxic stress and lead to improved health outcomes. This support continues the Canadian movement for a basic income that has made the news in Prince Edward Island as well as in Edmonton and Calgary.
