Episode 3 - Boots on the Ground
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.
