​​​​​Jean Swanson has been an anti-poverty and social justice activist for over 40 years in Vancouver and across the country.

Swanson is a universally respected figure, and in 2016 she was awarded the Order of Canada, the country’s highest civilian honour, for
“her long-standing devotion to social justice, notably for her work with the residents of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.”

Co host Stuart speaks to Jean about her decision to run for city council in a Vancouver Bi election, how she intends to start A Political Revolution at city hall by taxing the rick via a mansion tax, freeze rents and end homelessness in the city.
