Shiloh, Saskatchewan was the province's first black settlement, was founded in 1910 by dozens of homesteading families. The centre of the community was Shiloh Baptist Church, which remains the only surviving building from the community. The church received a designation as a heritage property from the province Aug. 3 along with its cemetery, recognizing the role black settlers played in shaping our provincial identity. Crystal Mayes, a nurse and beekeeper, is the great granddaughter of Mattie Mayes, a freed slave from Georgia who became the matriarch of the black movement in Saskatchewan in the 1800s. Crystal joins John now to talk about her family history and the importance of Shiloh Baptist Church.

New legislation is aiming to improve the province's backlogged family courts in Saskatchewan by requiring parties involved in a family law dispute to certify that they've completed mediation, parent coordination, collaborative service or family arbitration before a judge makes a decision in their case. The goal is to provide quick resolutions without a judge needing to step in. Charmaine Panko is a family lawyer with Panko Collaborative Law & Mediation, and she joins John to discuss the changing landscape of family law, the long waits in the court system, and the value of early resolutions.

National Post Political Columnist John Ivison's new book "Trudeau: The Education of a Prime Minister" goes on sale today, detailing Justin Trudeau's meteoric rise through the ranks of Canadian politics and the various controversies he's presided over including SNC-Lavalin, the carbon tax, and more. Ivison writes that Trudeau's greatest strengths - his famous name, high-handed approach, and impulsiveness - are also his greatest weaknesses, and could see him removed from power in the September election just as they helped him gain the highest office in the first place. Ivison joins John now to discuss the book and everything he's learned about Trudeau from his front-row seat.

The latest poll projections from poll aggregator 338Canada show Andrew Scheer's party with a lead of less than a point, and give Trudeau's Liberals a 56 per cent chance of a minority government. With the polling so tight, what issues will be the most important during the campaign? Are there still enough undecided voters for either party to establish a strong lead? To help answer these questions, John is joined by Philippe J. Fournier, pollster, analyst, and founder of 338Canada
