We took this opportunity to educate Canadians across the nation about the urgency for a permanent UBI.
On March 7, 2020, UBI Works founder, Floyd Marines cu, gave a talk with a 6.5'-tall robot named Tech in front of over 2,000 politicos
The petition was endorsed by Canadian senators, MPs, and US Presidential CandidateAndrew Yang. Shortly after, the Government of Canada announced the CanadaEmergency Response Benefit (CERB), a short-term basic income for Canadianswho lost income due to COVID-19.
UBI Works was credited by other candidates with making UBI a core election issue.
Marchers heard keynote speeches from politicians, business leaders, and leadingCanadian UBI activists.
We showed that a national-scale basic income is growing our economy,creating jobs, and lifting Canadians out of poverty.
UBI Works founder, Floyd Marinescu, led 120 Canadian CEOs, representing over$2.3 billion in annual revenues, to sign a letter in support of Universal BasicIncome and urge Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, to resume the cancelled OntarioBasic Income Pilot.
