Hear a story of tenants forming a union to fight back against a slumlord, going on Rent Strike and winning!

Bruno, an organizer with York-South Weston Tenants Union is back to share a victory from an unlikely place, the Ontario Landlord Tenant Board. We previously heard from Bruno on one of our favourite episodes, Blueprints of a Rent Strike.

We don't just get the story - we get the blueprints of how they did it.

Alex Cosh, Managing Editor at The Maple joins us to talk about their work holding the powerful accountable. Their most recent story, ignored by Canadian media, is explosive, as it proves Trudeau has been lying about an arms embargo with Israel. There is lots to learn about the Canadian arms trade if we're going to shut it down.

We also talk about the importance of finding the truth and exposing it - especially as it related to the work of the movements to disarm Israel.

CALL TO ACTION: Get involved with #ArmsEmbargoNow
