A recent Housing Justice Convergence in Montreal brought together organizers, policy experts, funders, and housing advocacy groups from across Canada.
For this episode, we’re rebroadcasting the keynote panel, facilitated by The Breach’s Dru Oja Jay.
Featuring tenant organizers Chiara Padovani and John Clarke, and economist Ricardo Tranjan, the panel explores what it takes to build a winning housing justice movement—and why removing profit from housing is a necessary red line.

The Breach’s investigations don’t just inform our readers—they force the powerful to react.
An exposé on blood plasma privatization led to national headlines. Our revelations about the government’s cozy connections to Big Pharma sparked a parliamentary probe. A report on high-tech price-fixing by mega landlords resulted in a criminal investigation.
From activists to elected officials, people are using The Breach’s journalism to push for transformative change.
