I haven't watched the video, but from the short description this doesn't sound like universal basic income:

> it handed C$7,500 (US$5,900) with no strings attached to a number of recently homeless people

I'm absolutely all for direct cash assistance and housing assistance for homeless and housing insecure populations. I think direct cash and housing first models are absolutely the best first approaches for the unhoused and I'm glad to see more experiments in that vein.
