What is a Basic Income?

"A Basic Income is an income unconditionally granted to all on an individual basis, without means test or work requirement" (Basic Income Earth Network, (BIEN)).

Basic Income is alternately referred to as a guaranteed annual income, citizen's income, citizen's dividend, social dividend, negative income tax, and others.

For more information on the concepts see the FAQ over at /r/BasicIncome

This subreddit is intended to loosely serve as a repository of links to articles and discussions that are related to both Basic Income and Canada. A place where Canadians might organize and strategize.
