Airline Plutocracy & Universal Basic Income w/ Economist Evelyn L. Forget

Update: 2020-07-02

Description

Canadian airlines are ending physical distancing on flights, against Transport Canada's guidelines, putting passengers and workers at risk. Is it plutocracy at work?

The debate on Universal Basic Income rages in the media and policy circles, and takes on an increased fervour with 7 million Canadians reliant on CERB. We're joined by economist Evelyn L. Forget, who literally wrote the book on a Canadian UBI.
