A year after cannabis legalization in Canada, The Agenda examines the industry's rough start -- particularly in Ontario. To examine what went wrong and what the future of cannabis could look like, Steve Paikin speaks with Bruce Linton, the founder and former CEO of Canopy Growth, the world's largest cannabis company; Financial Post reporter Vanmala Subramaniam; Jay Rosenthal of Business of Cannabis; and Pamela Jeffery of the Ontario Cannabis Policy Council.

The Agenda welcomes Ontario's Attorney General Doug Downey to discuss how the PC government is managing the province's justice system, including the rollout of cannabis retail stores, and changes to legal-aid funding.

Before she was the member of parliament for Markham-Stouffville, Jane Philpott was a family doctor, a professor and chief of Family Medicine at Markham Stouffville Hospital. In 2015, she was part of Justin Trudeau's sunny ways team, elected to do politics differently. As part of the first ever 50/50 male/female cabinet, she was appointed minister of health, where she oversaw some substantial legislative initiatives. Then came the SNC-Lavalin matter, and a decision on principle to leave the Liberal party. Philpott talks to Steve Paikin about her decisions and her bid to gain an independent seat in last month's election.

The last time Canada had a minority federal government was 11 years ago. That's a long time in politics, so here is a look at how it might work. The Agenda welcomes several observers with first-hand experience with a minority government: former Conservative cabinet minister, Peter MacKay; Martha Hall Findlay, who served in the last minority parliament as the Liberal MP; Peggy Nash, former NDP MP; along with Peter Loewen, political science professor at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.

This powerful documentary shines light on Fr. William Hodgson Marshall, a Canadian priest convicted in 2011 of abusing several students over three decades at schools in Rochester, Toronto, Windsor, Sudbury, and Sault Ste. Marie. A TVO Original documentary, "Prey" won top honours at the 2019 Hot Docs Festival. The Agenda discusses this unforgettable film which focuses on survivor Rod MacLeod's legal fight against the Catholic church in Ontario. MacLeod and fellow survivor Patrick McMahon, who was the first to file a criminal complaint against Marshall, talk to Nam Kiwanuka, along with director Matt Gallagher; producer Cornelia Principe; and lawyer Rob Talach, also known as the "priest hunter."

It may be obvious that people who identify politically as liberals and conservatives think differently because they disagree on issues ranging from immigration to climate change policy. But what are the deeper psychological roots that drive their political beliefs? In the aftermath of the federal election, the Agenda explores the conservative mind vs. the liberal mind.

Science journalist Ziya Tong talks about her book, "The Reality Bubble: Blind Spots, Hidden Truths, and the Dangerous Illusions That Shape Our World." In it she explores blind spots in individuals and in human existence and how being in the dark when it comes to how we survive makes it impossible to navigate our future.

The Agenda looks at a potential redrawing on Ontario regions; former Green Party of Canada leader Elizabeth May talks to Steve Paikin about election results; Kelly Thompson discusses challenges she faced during her military career; science journalist Angela Saini debunks race science; and Salman Rushdie talks to Nam Kiwanuka about his new novel, "Quichotte," a reimagining of the classic "Don Quixote."

Are roundabouts good calmers that also help the flow of traffic, or do they make drivers more prone to accidents with other cars, and even pedestrians? Southwestern Ontario Hub journalist Mary Baxter looked into the use of at least 40 traffic circles at intersections in Waterloo Region, and why some citizens, city planners, and politicians are against them.

Steve Paikin speaks with Michael Ignatieff, rector and president of the Central European University and former leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, about his university's ongoing battle with the Hungarian state, populist unrest in Europe, and his impressions of Canada's recent election.
