Senator Kim Pate: We need to look out for those in need

An excerpt of Senator Kim Pate from the recent rabble politics panel, Off the Hill: Isn’t it time? A guaranteed basic income for Canada.

Senator Pate was appointed to the Senate of Canada on November 10, 2016. She is an advocate for a basic income in Canada and has been active in building coalitions across the country with equality-seeking women’s, anti-racism, anti-poverty and human rights groups and organizations.

This entire webinar can be viewed on rabbletv. Off The Hill is rabble’s live monthly panel which delves into current issues of national political significance through a progressive lens. Discussions are centred on impacts of politics and policy on people, and on mobilizing to bring about progressive change. The panel is hosted by alternating hosts, Libby Davies and Robin Browne.
