Hi all. As some of you may have experienced, Survey Monkey did not really like the conference list email address and it might have denied you access to the survey. I have resent the survey to your individual email addresses. This should resolve any difficulties. Apologies for the extra step and, of course, please let me know if you have other problems.

Fw: Basic Income In The Neoliberal Age
by Paul Moist 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi everyone. Attached are various documents associated with the debate around Basic Income. John Clarke of the ON Coalition Against Poverty is one of the names recommended for our roundtable, his position on Basic Income is for us to be careful what we wish for. Fyi. Paul Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone. Original Message From: Socialist Interventions <info(a)socialistproject.ca> Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2018 9:58 PM To: Paul Moist Subject: Basic Income In The Neoliberal Age Socialist Interventions Pamphlet No. 16: ‎ Basic Income In The Neoliberal Age Ontario Coalition Against Poverty From the very first days of the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP), at the beginning of the 1990s, we have found ourselves on the front lines of a war on the poor that has been of central importance to the implementation of broader neoliberal austerity. In Canada, the undermining of these income support systems, both at the federal and provincial level, has continued to be vigorously pursued and the poverty and insecurity that this has generated has created the vulnerability and desperation needed in order to weaken workers’ bargaining power, reduce the capacity of unions to resist and to facilitate a veritable explosion of low wage precarious work. In light of this dogged pursuit of austerity based agenda over so many years, news that the Ontario government was likely to set up a Basic Income (BI) pilot, supposedly so as to put in place a measure that would decrease poverty and provide more adequate and secure income, struck us as a gift horse whose mouth we should carefully examine. While our particular concern was to look at what was unfolding in Ontario, a critical look at the whole BI concept was also in order. As we began to explore the various versions of this social policy that are put forward, it became clear that the neoliberal right has its own sense of the possibilities of BI. This pamphlet explores the concept of BI and particularly its deployment as part of state welfare policies today, and the challenges being posed for the struggles of the anti-poverty movement in Canada. https://socialistproject.ca/pamphlets/basic-income-neoliberal-age/ If you do not want to receive any more newsletters: http://socialistproject.ca/lists/?p=unsubscribe&uid=baf942d81636b7d0241a93f… Forward to a friend: http://socialistproject.ca/lists/?p=forward&uid=baf942d81636b7d0241a93f3cd4… To update your preferences: http://socialistproject.ca/lists/?p=preferences&uid=baf942d81636b7d0241a93f… -- powered by phpList, www.phplist.com --

WEBSITE CHANGES AND FINANCIAL APPEAL PIECE (IN ADVANCE OF TODAY'S MEETING: JANUARY, 13, 2018)
by Krishna Lalbiharie 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

Hi, all! So, I have updated (slightly) our website, which I will further improve upon this weekend. Some unexpected difficulties persist owing to our choice of website name and via our host site, wordpress.com. I will explain all today when we meet. What I have discovered is that using numerals in one's website name presents some complications. It is what it is... In advance of our meeting today, please visit our current webpage as such: http://1919-2019.com What's more, please see our Financial Sub-Committee's draft appeal package (attached), which is soon-to-be ready for release on our website and elsewhere! The attached is a compressed version for email purposes. All my best! See you in a few hours! Krishna 204.899.8687
