Podcasts about mincome

Canada had a basic income pilot before Ontario. Evelyn Forget's research on the 1970s Mincome basic income experiment in Manitoba showed that hospital admissions declined and children were more likely to finish high school. Her latest work explores the lives of people who access government supports and frontline service providers. Evelyn is a professor and health economist at the University of Manitoba and the author of the book Basic Income for Canadians. Evelyn joins Cynthia Belaskie and Robbie Brydon to talk more about her research into basic income in Canada, the evidence and the principles behind decision making on income security policy.

Mincome refers to the Manitoba annual basic income experiment, which took place in the 1970s. In these times of COVID-19, with mental health and economic problems rising in tandem, and with the introduction of stimulus checks, the idea of universal basic income is making more "cents" than ever. What if you received a minimum basic income, regardless of whether you worked or not? How would that affect healthcare? Would people stop working? Or is universal basic income the key to better public health? In this episode, Case Confirmed interviews health economist Dr. Evelyn Forget to shed light on these questions and more!

A podcast produced by saint benedict's table on behalf of the Anglican Diocese of Rupert's Land, in which Bishop Geoff Woodcroft speaks on a letter sent to the Canadian Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Finance, regarding the timeliness of a Guaranteed Basic Income. This letter comes with the endorsement of bishops from coast to coast to coast, from both the Anglican Church of Canada and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.In his opening reflections, Bishop Geoff refers to the a bold experiment from the 1970s called "Mincome," more information about which is available in this archived CBC piece. He also speaks of the role that former Senator Hugh Segal played in the development of this new letter, and a brief piece co-written by Mr. Segal is available here. If you would like to read the text of the letter or might consider writing a letter to your own Member of Parliament, you can find that information on the Diocesan website. If you have questions or concerns about this initiative by the bishops, you can find the contact information for the diocese and its various officers on that same website. * * *This podcast is created at saint benedict's table, a congregation of the Anglican Church of Canada in Winnipeg, where we've been making great audio since 2006.

Canada's basic income trials in trials in the 70s – the “Mincome” experiments – were largely forgotten until Dr. Evelyn Forget found records of the Mincome trials and individuals who had received a basic income. She discusses what she found, and the implications for Canada's upcoming trials in Ontario. This episode originally aired in May of 2017.

In February, I went live-on-air on CKUW with two special guests. I was joined by Dr. Lorna Turnbull, chair of Basic Income Manitoba, and Caryn Birch, director of Education and Training at RaY. We discussed Dauphin’s Mincome project, the importance of a grade 12 education to end the cycle of poverty, and what more can be done by policy-makers and society to lower child poverty rates.

During the 1970s, Manitoba implemented a basic income social project to determine the impacts a guaranteed annual income would have on the working poor. The experiment, better known as Mincome, was conducted in two test sites: Winnipeg and Dauphin. The results were largely untouched for 30 years. On this episode, Dr. Lorna Turnbull, chair of Basic Income Manitoba, discusses how a guaranteed income can help families, especially women and children, living in poverty.

This week Ian, Marty, Gavin, and Andrew have a huge variety show. Some people might call it very very big. The panel covers free speech on Ontario Campuses, free opioids for Vancouver addicts, Mincome, taxes on the middle class, the purchase of Aussie F-18s, the slow death of Canada's military, a 1.8B decrease to veteran pensions, and an American who's very sorry for smuggling 67 guns into Canada.  Intro Hello to all you patriots out there in podcast land and welcome to Episode 166 of Canadian Patriot Podcast, the number one LIVE podcast in Canada.

Basic income in Canada has been debated since at least the 1930s during the Social Credit movement, but as in other parts of the western world, the discussion has increased during the last decades. Different models can be considered such as a Guaranteed Annual Income (GAI), Social Dividend or Basic Income. William Aberhart, Premier of Alberta, was inspired by Major C. H. Douglas Social Credit theory and tried to implement a basic income for Albertans during the 1930s but was thwarted in his attempts by the Federal Government. The (GAI) model was tested in Manitoba in the 1970s in what was called the Mincome experiment. It allowed every participating family unit to receive a minimum cash benefit, with every dollar earned over the benefit amount taxed back at varying (experimented) levels. There are some obvious impediments to the implementation of a (GAI) in Canada. For example, how would such a program impact work incentives? What would the program cost? What model is likely to be politically acceptable? Would a GAI benefit the national economy? And would it ultimately benefit low income (or non-income) workers? The speaker will explain the different options of income support that is available through a GAI program and the results of such in places where it has been applied. More broadly, he will examine the pros and cons of GAI programs as a means of combatting inequality. Finally, he will speculate on the likelihood of such a program's adoption in Canada and elsewhere.

He holds a B.A. from the University of Winnipeg, an M.A. from the University of Calgary, and a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Alberta. He worked on Manitoba's Guaranteed Annual Income experiment in the 1970s.??His broad areas of specialty include political sociology, political economy, and public policy.

For this episode of The Future Is A Mixtape, Jesse & Matt have a discussion with Frantz Pierre--a community activist and organizer who's leading a revolutionary project to educate Los Angeles residents about the benefits of Universal Basic Income via a local, first-of-its-kind, pilot program. But how might Frantz Pierre and other fellow comrades create this program on a citywide scale when the mythology and romance of the “work ethic” and the sin of “laziness” are so indoctrinated in our communities and belief systems? How will we demand “wages” if such an enslaved chunk of our lives--going to jobs we hate--has been entirely automated, and work for the 99% no longer exists? And if and when the argument is truly won, where will the money come from? This podcast will aim to answer those questions. It will also detail why this utopian notion should be viewed as the “New Common Sense” in our global age of shafted, precarious employment, and why UBI is an essential spring-step toward human liberation.
