This CBC The National piece is one of the best reports on #UniversalBasicIncome I have ever seen. It's about the 3yr pilot project in Ontario that was cancelled after just 1 year when Doug Ford came to power. This is 10 minutes you need to dedicate. But even if you can only make it through the first 60 seconds, please do!

@chris @floydmarinescu @scottsantens I'm a scientist, and when we talk about "academic freedom", this is exactly we mean.
Active interference from a political body into promising research that is showing good early results does nothing to help anyone. It only harms the subjects in the study, the researchers, and scientific investigation more generally.
This shouldn't happen, but it did. It's so frustrating.
Those people needed that money and it was taken stripped away from them by Doug Ford

@chris @floydmarinescu @scottsantens Actually, it's the latest in a series of trials that all point to constructive and positive outcomes from UBI initiatives. It's no wonder Ford tanked this: his backers/handlers. puppet masters don't like it because it reeks of citizen involvement in governance and a levelling of the political playing field. Let's do it!
