Lisa Barlott-Cardenas from the Industrial Workers of the World speaks at the Boom for Whom? Affordable Housing Rally on August 18, 2007 at the Alberta Legislature.
Things have gotten ridiculous with rents. The housing bubble has increased cost without any change to the value or size of the units. Owners have benefitted simply from being near publically funded projects like subways. And they have gotten nasty when someone under rent control can't afford to move. There is so much inhumanity in it.
Let us all help to speed the day when this earth is held in common for the benefit of all humanity.Workers of all lands unite and abolish the wages system.

mickblack, and she didn't build a damn thing in Edmonton either. OC is the TV show for pretty white girls full of wanna-be political bullshit, which is where the entire FBI-run fake ass IWW belongs.
Nobody is fooled - certainly no non-white people - you are a joke. Deal with it - go back to grad school liberal.
She's cute. Bread and indeed roses.

The question is, why should the propertyless spend their entire lives lining the pockets, and belly blubber of the propertied?

Where in Alberta is "OC"? Oil Country? Edmonton is smack in the middle of it!
