They have gotten good press recently. <br /><br />James Mulvale would be a good contact. http://www.arts.uregina.ca/dr-jim-mulvale <br /><br />So too would be the group Canada Without Poverty: <br />http://www.cwp-csp.ca/Blog/eliminating-povertyMurfmenschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031877154740991965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-41263239437011852502011-03-07T18:54:27.947-05:002011-03-07T18:54:27.947-05:00The idea of a guaranteed income, replacing our cur...The idea of a guaranteed income, replacing our current welfare systems has actually been bandied about here in Canada a bit. But with the Tories in power federally, nothing has come of it, yet. I'm hoping that one day something does come of this idea.Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928278723783541928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-65986763378031303462011-03-07T17:09:21.769-05:002011-03-07T17:09:21.769-05:00For the same reasons just covered here, we can'...For the same reasons just covered here, we can't plan for full employment. Collective bargaining is a right but these collectives will have to negotiate in light of globalization and digitalization. <br /><br />I think about the fifty kids in my high school who trained in architectural drawing for a couple of hours each day. They were playing by the rules and putting in the work.

Such independence for all would surely have a radical impact all its own.Murfmenschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031877154740991965noreply@blogger.com
