Recently, we focused on the state of democracy in India, which is going through some rather undemocratic times. But we got an email from a viewer who said, we in Ontario shouldn't be so smug, that the state of our democracy could be much improved as well. So, we thought, why not look into that too. For insights, we welcome: House leader Paul Calandra, who's the Progressive Conservative member for Markham-Stouffville; Peter Tabuns, former interim leader and New Democratic Party MPP for Toronto-Danforth; Janet Ecker, former Ontario PC Party cabinet minister; and Martin Regg Cohn, Ontario politics columnist for the Toronto Star.
