April 01, 2024 How a Cold War-Era Submarine Ended Up in This Ontario Town
For the past decade, HMCS Ojibwa, a Cold War-era submarine, has welcomed hundreds of tourists to Port Burwell, Ontario since the decommissioned sub was converted into a tourist attraction. After more than 30 years of service, the submarine was destined for the salvage yard, but was saved by the Elgin Military Museum in St. Thomas. As host Jeyan Jeganathan explains, financial troubles associated with the submarine are putting another of Port Burwell’s historic landmarks at risk of crumbling.

March 28, 2024 Are Dating Apps Addictive?
Tinder and Hinge, the top two dating apps in Canada, are being accused of having a "predatorY" business model by six American app users. Some psychologists are calling this lawsuit absurd and are saying that the responsibility lies in the hands of the user.

March 28, 2024 Everything you need to know about Ontario's budget
Minister of Finance Peter Bethlenfalvy has unveiled Ontario's budget and it's a big one. The province is spending an unprecedented amount on building infrastructure projects but is expected to see large deficits over the next two years. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath dig into the details. The Ontario Liberal Party has announced its candidate for the Milton byelection, and it's not Bonnie Crombie. Galen Naidoo-Harris, the son of former Milton MPP Indira Naidoo-Harris, will run. However, his candidacy leaves open the question of where the new Ontario Liberal leader will plant her flag. And in Your Column, My Column, Steve and John Michael go over some specific parts of the budget that really grind their gears. You can also see the podcast on the TVO Today YouTube channel and every Friday night at 8 and 11 pm ET as the first half of The Agenda.

March 28, 2024 Is Canada's Military Prepared for a New Era?
Canada routinely faces criticism that it does not meet spending commitments as a NATO ally. And recently, the Department of National Defence's own internal reporting painted an alarming picture of the state of the Canadian Armed Forces. Polling shows that Canadians increasingly worry about what this all means for the country's presence on the world stage. For more on how to navigate these difficult waters, we welcome: Kerry Buck, former Canadian Ambassador to NATO, now a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa; Guy Thibault, a retired Lieutenant General in the Canadian Army, who's currently Chair of the Board at CDA Institute; and Christian Leuprecht, professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and Queen's University.
