I totally agree with what you say. At the same time, it's often easier for the generally public to see an issue through an individual case rather than numbers and statistics. That's why many movements have used vetted individuals, probably the most famous being Rosa Parks for the Civil Rights Movement in the States.

Agreed. I'm kind of amazed that Canada doesn't have a national group organizing about cost of living issues. I was really sad when the Reddit group organizing for housing costs imploded.
