In episode #446 of Talking Radical Radio, Scott Neigh interviews Laurel Thompson. She is a retired teacher who lives in Montreal and a member of the group Trainsparence. She talks about the REM, a major new addition to Montreal's transit system, and why some residents, grassroots activists, and environmentalists fought tooth and nail against it -- and why opposition to the new phase of the REM in east Montreal may be much more successful.
