- Amy Twigge-Molecey, lecturer in the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment, appears on a report on CBC's The National (at the 1:10 mark) and is quoted in the CBC.ca text version of the story that examines tensions arising from condo-development and what is referred to as the 'gentrification' of certain working-class neighbourhoods in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
