In episode one, we laid the groundwork for what's been going on in the housing crisis. In episode two we set up the solutions on a policy level, having Francis Cortellino and Marie José Houle on to discuss what they're doing within the system. However, policy and action take two kinds of folks-- policy makers, and people who work on the ground. Thinkers are important, theory is essential, but who works beside those living the reality of the housing crisis?

This week we tell the story of how Isaac blew on online, and gained fifteen minutes of fame and we have two very well known people on to discuss the crisis. Lynn O'Donnel works from CACV, a group in Verdun, Montreal that helps people all over the city deal with landlords who choose to abuse their power. On the other side, we have Ricardo Tranjan, probably one of Canada's top thinkers around the housing crisis, and author of the book "the Tenant Class." These two dive straight into actionable solutions that are more practical on an individual level.

This week we set the stage-- preliminary explanations on how we got to this point in the housing crisis, and how the problem goes back forty years. What is gentrification? Is it the same in the big cities and the small towns? Well, through interviews and research, Isaac and Gab are gonna bring you to understand exactly where things went wrong before we can talk about how to fix it. Knowledge slaps!

The trailer for one of the most extensive investigations into the housing crisis ever done.

Today we finally talk to the people in power. You have a comprehensive understanding of the problems, the successes, the people who are on the ground with their boots, activists who want to do better for the country. Now let's talk to the leaders in power, the people who wield the keys of change. Today we dive into the willingness to enact change on every level of government-- talking to Benoît Dorait, Guillaume Cliche-Rivard, Virginie Dufour and Jean-Yves Duclos. This episode might make you feel exasperated... so strap in for a fun ride.
