    Who are the people suffering during this crisis? Yes, we've talked about statistics and seen the political world behind all this-- but practically. Who is it that is suffering?

    Well, it's just people like you and I.

    Beyond the stats, real people are going through hard times. We asked a couple. We investigated one incident. And we heard again from Dave Chapman. It's not just an idea that this is a tough time, people are genuinely suffering. So lets hear them speak in the final episode of the investigation.

  • Episode 5 - Those Who Fight
    Jun 20 2025

    Today we dive into the types of people who are really, REALLY doing the lords work in the institutions which count. We have Catherine Fournier on (and mention Andres Fontecilla) and she's one of the rare people in power doing work in her city. And then we talk about the behind the scenes drama! Afterwards we have an interview with Util, a non-profit housing builder/management company that is working to improve the lives of Students in Montreal. Finally, we have Elaine Larouche from Moisson Montreal to talk about food banks and how bad the situation has become.

  • Episode 4 - Political Will
    Jun 13 2025

    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.
