Build Canada, a project by prominent business leaders released a memo for a Canadian Sovereign Wealth Fund, financed by natural resources, windfall taxes, and a temporary 1% consumption levy, that distributes a Canada Dividend to citizens.
"A national fund with shared contributions and transparent benefits will unite Canadians, ensuring everyone—regardless of region, postal code, or generation—shares in the country’s collective success."
They envision it could grow to $500B within 10 years, with a long-term goal of ranking among the world’s top five sovereign wealth funds by 2050.
"Starting in year 6, 20% of the Fund’s earnings will be paid out annually to all Canadians."
“This Fund belongs to Canadians—not to politicians—and it will work for Canadians, forever.
This is our chance to turn Canada’s natural wealth into a permanent economic engine. Just as past generations built the roads, bridges, and institutions we depend on today, we now have the opportunity—and responsibility—to build the financial foundation for a stronger, more secure future for all.”
The time has come to act on these ideas.

From @AndyBurnhamGM ‘s 2024 manifesto:
“The logical next step, after the success of our @GMHousingFirst pilot, is to bring forward a #BasicIncome pilot"
This pilot proposal shows how this is possible, so we can reduce homelessness and poverty
This morning, we launched a groundbreaking proposal for a #BasicIncome pilot for Greater Manchester targeting homelessness.
Designed in partnership with @NorthumbriaUni, this would be the first-ever trial in England. Read more⬇️

Support for a #UBI is much greater than its opposition
It is clear that the main reason that some people are against it is because they see it as unaffordable. This is why we need to challenge the narrative on what is economically feasible

Equal Right is very excited to share that we have established a Steering Group to drive forward plans for a 'Basic Income for Peace with Nature' in Colombia. Our initial event today brought together community groups, experts, funders & partner NGOs to discuss the plans & delivery
“The new poll found that 46 per cent of people in Britain support the introduction of a UBI, compared to 33 per cent who oppose it. The remaining 20 per cent said they didn’t know whether they support or oppose a UBI.”
