Using Claude to learn about housing in Stockholm for a TV episode. Claude just telling it like it is, something that seems really hard for most mainstream Canadian news outlets.

A chance now to build on the united union power that beat Doug Ford over the notwithstanding clause in 2022.
There is power in our unions!
