Comes a time when, as a result of unprecedented events, we need to consider change at the systemic level. 

The Pandemic has “laid bare” many problems within our society, and inequities among citizens, which we now must take responsibility for addressing.

The pandemic has illustrated most acutely the growing socio-economic divide - The impact of COVID 19 has been particularly devastating on the poor and the ethnic minorities in our society.  As Canadians, we have a front row seat to the drama playing out south of the border which illustrates what can happen when the gap between the haves and have nots; between the rich and poor becomes too large.

The future of our economy is at best uncertain - with mounting job losses, businesses shuttering across the country; the changing nature of work and school; the shifting economic and political relationships between, and amongst nations; the mounting climate crisis.

These are big, complex challenges requiring us to engage in #socialinnovation; To consider bold ideas to protect the health and well being of our citizens and our nation as a whole. 

One such idea worthy of serious consideration is the implementation of #BasicIncomeforCanada.
