The Basic Income is a policy that insists every living person in a society has the right to food and shelter. It is a policy that touches on many social issues, such as poverty, unemployment, automation, and wage slavery. It seeks to find resolution to the issues that plague us and redress the wrongs that are tearing our society apart.

The Mayors of Calgary and Edmonton have already endorsed the Basic Income, as has the premier of Prince Edward Island. The policy has been tried, and it works. Poverty is eliminated, stress amongst the populace drops, and productivity increases. Every time the Basic Income has been assessed for cost, it is shown to be extremely affordable for the massive benefits it provides.

There is every reason to support a Basic Income, and none to deny it. If Pam McConnell, the deputy mayor of Toronto, supports the Basic Income, then we have won a major ally in this ongoing struggle.
