The Ontario government has recently approved a three-year basic income pilot project and selected three cities — Hamilton/Brantford, Thunder Bay and Lindsay — as test sites. Federally, a motion in the Senate to encourage the government to investigate the cost and impact of a national basic income program has passed with cross-party support. Globally, Finland has launched a basic income pilot — and tech giants like Tesla’s Elon Musk have said a universal basic income will be necessary for everyone in the future.
