Canada trials a basic income for unemployed workers

Canada is testing a basic income policy for unemployed workers to see it’s impact over the low income groups. According to this new policy, more than 4,000 citizens of the Canadian province of Ontario will receive a monthly allowance from the government and the government will monitor the affect of the allowance over the health and well being of the people.
