Is Canada's bail system failing?

Canada's bail system is once again being questioned following the shooting of a police officer in Ontario's capital city last fall where the accused was out on bail at the time. The Ontario government has called on the feds to get tougher on repeat offenders, while advocacy groups have raised concerns over overcrowding in provincial jails. The Agenda invites with experts from across the board to discuss whether our bail system is failing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One Canadian's Peace Mission in Syria

With the overthrow of the Assad government in Syria, the story of a daring diplomatic mission undertaken more than a decade-and-a-half ago can now be told. Syria and Israel have been implacable foes for more than three-quarters of a century. But in 2007, a resident of Thornhill, Ontario met secretly with Assad for two-and-a-half hours in hopes of beginning a peace process with Israel. That man was Moshe Ronen, who has never previously publicly discussed his peace mission, and he joins Steve Paikin to talk about this experience and more.

True Stories From Sports History

Howie Mooney does have a day job that has nothing to do with reporting on football and hockey, podcasting, or writing books. But the day job doesn't float this Ottawa native's boat like sports does. And so we thought we'd get him in here to tell us about a couple of his books: "Crazy Days & Wild Nights", and "The Consequences of Chance", where he indulges in his passion for all things sports.
