During the 1970s, Manitoba implemented a basic income social project to determine the impacts a guaranteed annual income would have on the working poor. The experiment, better known as Mincome, was conducted in two test sites: Winnipeg and Dauphin. The results were largely untouched for 30 years. On this episode, Dr. Lorna Turnbull, chair of Basic Income Manitoba, discusses how a guaranteed income can help families, especially women and children, living in poverty.
