The idea of UBI has been in the news a lot lately, and there's even a bill in Canadian Parliament that could get the ball rolling. In this episode, Christine and Alex discuss what UBI even is and how it can take different forms, it's long history in Canadian politics, the pros and cons of such a system, and finally why it might one day become necessary for us to survive and thrive.
