Meeting: Ken & Liam — Event Prep & Misc
Date: 2026-04-02 (morning) Attendees: Ken Yang, Liam Wilkinson (“UBI”)
Summary
Ken and Liam discussed progress on AI activist campaign, spam issues, NationBuilder migration, and logistics for upcoming Wednesday meetup (66 RSVPs). Liam proposed op-ed idea about Canada’s National Energy Program (NEP) and sovereign wealth fund angle on energy policy.
Key Points
- AI activist petition page staged and ready to push live; homepage entry point needed
- 500 suspicious spam sign-ups in past week — likely due to phone number on website
- Action Network migration nearly complete for UBI Works; BICN entanglement complex
- Action Network may offer enterprise-level support despite not paying for it
- UN endorsed land value tax unanimously — team noting they’re “overlooking” this as content
- Meetup: 66 registered, expecting 30-50 attendees
- Event timing: doors 6 PM, event 6:30 PM; possible breakfast next morning with Kareem and Frank
Liam’s Op-Ed Idea — NEP / Energy Policy
- Liam proposed framing: Canada’s oil revenues + NEP-style program = stabilized gas prices, end to boom-bust oil cycle
- Angle: short-sighted vs. long-sighted decisions; what the NEP could have delivered today
- NEP (1980s) scrapped due to political/economic alienation especially in Alberta
- Potential collaboration with Andrew Schaaf from the Savvy Fund
- Ken to make a card to “immortalize” the UN Land Value Tax Endorsement as content asset
