We've been taking a little summer break and this week we're bringing you an episode we recorded in the midst of the Ontario election. As a bulwark against the ongoing trudge into barbarism and cynicism, we've dreamt up some grounded, realistic "demands" to immediately make worker's lives materially better.
Steve takes a quick look at improvements that could immediately improve housing affordability, desirability and walkability. And continues to gind his axe about landlords.
Tim (of course) wanted to talk about trains.
H-hey guys? We really should fix that enviornment, eh?
And: Is $15 "Fair"? Is $20 "Plenty?" We're well overdue a raise -- and a union.
Some stuff we mentioned:
