According to BBC Ontario Canada is going to provide a basic income for poor people who have been randomly chosen.
Canada's largest province is experimenting with giving poor people a basic income with no strings attached.
The three-year study will test whether this basic income is better than current social welfare programmes.
Randomly selected participants living in three communities in Ontario will be given at least C$16,989 ($12,600, £9,850) a year to live on.
This idea has been one that I have been advocating for awhile. It’s nice to see it being tried in Canada and as the article points out in Finland.
