Universal basic income appears to be an idea Canadians can rally behind. Less than half of those asked (43 per cent) in the U.S. expressed support for the idea. The survey conducted online featured responses from 4,394 Americans, 3,049 Canadians and 3,208 Brits. Basic income has been promoted heavily by Andrew Yang, a U.S. tech entrepreneur who is running for the Democratic nomination in the U.S. presidential race. In 2018, the newly-elected Ontario government revealed it was scrapping the Basic Income Pilot Project, one year into a three-year experiment.
