Some Globe readers might be interested in the Manitoba "Mincome" project that ran from 1974 to 1978 - but in this, the year 2017, traditional job prospects are rapidly disappearing.  Odd though, that Government bloat and staffing never seems to diminish...it just gets worse, offers very high salaries with little to show for adding value or improvements to the lives of Canadians.  The playing field for government jobs may have been, at one time, a fair process...but not anymore...like Union jobs, you have to know someone to get a well paying job in Canada.   http://gregorymason.ca/mincome/   As you will read, a major issue of the Mincome program was its complexity and inadequate staff for monitoring / studying the outcomes in order to assess its success or failure.  I very much doubt the Wynne  or the Federal Government will ever have the ability to think out or assess anything they undertake.
