Today we are honoured to have MP Leah Gazan on the show and learn more about what a Guaranteed Living Basic Income and the motion she put forward to make it a reality in Canada.
You can learn more about her motion, sign the petition, and be a part of the national day of action at https://www.leahgazan.ca/basicincomemotion
Take a peek at the motion itself (pay attention to paragraph V.)
We didn't add a Pink Tax rebate today, but there are a few things that you can do (after you sign the petition). We chatted about the failure of CERB and we urge you to look into the response at long-term care facilities, and compare the benefits of CERB, and the current disability benefits or guaranteed income supplement in your own province.
Some articles to get you started:
The housing crisis and bathroom access
For those who may have forgotten, we've seen massive price-fixing on bread and the great fridge debacle.
If you don't know who Tommy Douglas is, here's a link.
