  • Is the U.K. the Key Ally Canada Needs?
    2025/06/12
    Canada's relationship with the U.S. may go back a long way, but our relationship with the United Kingdom goes back even further. And, with Canada-U.S. relations being as contentious as they now are, can or should Britain fill the role America used to play and become our number one ally once again? Host Steve Paikin asks: Mel Cappe, Canada's Former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Distinguished Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto. Ann Fitz-Gerald, Director of the Balsillie School of International Affairs and Professor of Political Science at Wilfrid Laurier University; Luke Savage, a journalist whose work has appeared in Jacobin, the New Statesman, and the Toronto Star. He's also the co-author of the late Ed Broadbent's memoir: "Seeking Social Democracy: Seven Decades in the Fight for Equality."

  • Has Inequality Grown Since the Great Recession?
    2025/06/10
    The first episode of The Agenda aired in September of 2006. Two years later we were in the midst of the Great Financial Crisis. From there, the Occupy movement put the concept of the 1% and the issue of inequality front-and-centre.

And how has the anger and fallout from the financial crisis fueled the populism and seismic political shifts we are seeing today?
