In this episode of The Academic and the Activist we review the recent report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives on the best and worst cities to be a woman in Canada (https://www.policyalternatives.ca/best-worst2017). St. John's City Councillor, Hope Jamieson, joins us on the show to talk about what it's like to be a representative on municipal council, and we phone Renee Sharpe to talk about feminist resistance.
