Finland isn't alone in trialing a universal basic income, Canada is trying it as well

Swiss Franc and Euro banknotes of several values lie on a table in a Swiss bank in Bern November 25, 2014. The "Save our Swiss gold" proposal, spearheaded by the right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP), aims to ban the central bank from offloading its reserves and oblige it to hold at least 20 percent of its assets in gold. The referendum is scheduled for November 30. The SVP argues it would secure a stable Swiss franc.  Picture taken November 25, 2014.  REUTERS/Ruben Sprich (SWITZERLAND  - Tags: POLITICS BUSINESS)
