Pages, Pals, and Progress:
BIYC’s Book Club!
Pages, Pals, and Progress is an informal space to meet like-minded folks who want to learn more about the complexities of poverty and anti-poverty action, and share in dialogue together
Past book club meetings
In April 2024, book club talked about an episode from the Appointed podcast: "A Conversation with Kendal David: Basic income, Canada Disability Benefit & Youth engagement." In the podcast episode, Senator Kim Pate sits down with Kendal David (a member of the BIYC) to discuss Bill C-22: Canada Disability Benefit, and Bill S-233: National Framework for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income Act. The Appointed podcast episode is available on Simplecast, Apple podcasts, and Youtube.
In March 2024, we held our first book club meeting! We read and discussed "Radical Trust: Basic Income for Complicated Lives", a compelling work that delves deep into the dynamics of trust when utilizing a basic income to alleviate poverty.
We were trilled to have the authors, Evelyn Forget and Hannah Owzcar, join us for this first book club meeting! Through the lens of "Radical Trust," we chatted about the concept of a basic income and how it can help navigate the complexities of poverty and its intersecting factors.
