Building the Crisis: An Investigation on Housing in Canada

One of the most detailed and extensive investigations ever done on the housing crisis in Canada, daring to challenge power and speak directly to conflicts of interest.

In this six-episode podcast, hosts Isaac Peltz and Gabrielle Brassard-Lecours explore the underlying causes of the housing crisis and reveal the central issue: a lack of commitment from political leaders to address the problem. As the podcast unfolds, listeners will learn that those in power are often reluctant to change the system because they want to avoid upsetting anyone, which ultimately leads to minimal development.

This podcast is relevant as we enter a new era of politics with a new Canadian leader. Will the housing crisis be resolved? Probably not, but this podcast will equip you with the tools to understand the situation and hold your governments accountable, whether at the provincial level in Quebec and Ontario, or at the municipal or federal levels. We hope you enjoy this presentation by Isaac and Gab, in collaboration with The Rover. A French version of this podcast is available at Pivot.quebec.
