On this episode of the team is joined by our first guest to return to the show former Ontario Liberal Party leadership candidate Alvin Tedjo.

Alvin, who became the face of the push for a basic income during the OLP leadership race, connects with the team to discuss the ins and outs of a basic income program, what it is, how it would work and who would benefit most from its implementation

In this great UBI debate, the team and Alvin get into the nitty gritty of how a program like UBI could change the way that social programming is delivered and what changes it could bring to existing income and social support programs.

And then of course, there are the million dollar questions: if UBI is such a great idea why haven’t the many pilots materialized into an actual basic income program? And what does the future hold for UBI following the COVID pandemic?
