    Does Ontario Have Too Many Colleges and Universities?

    Does Ontario Have Too Many Colleges and Universities?
    There are nearly 50 colleges and universities in the province of Ontario, and they're all screaming for more money. It's a complicated problem. They say the province doesn't fund them enough. They say the federal government cost them nearly $2 billion by cutting back on visa for foreign students, who pay six or seven times the tuition of Canadian students. And the province has frozen tuition fees for the past five years and will do so for another three, which will deprive the post-secondary of even more money. For insight, we welcome: Peggy Sattler, NDP MPP for London West; Adil Shamji, Liberal MPP for Don Valley East; Mike Schreiner, leader of the Green Party of Ontario and the MPP for Guelph; and Alex Usher, president of Higher Education Strategy Associates.

    What should the criteria be for a fair legal system in Ontario?

    What should the criteria be for a fair legal system in Ontario?

    In some countries, judges are elected and affiliated with political parties. Here, they are appointed by the government of the day. Traditionally, the idea has been that they should be non-partisan, independent, and make decisions based on the law and the merits of the case. So, when Premier Doug Ford recently indicated that he wanted to appoint ,like-minded, judges to sit in Ontario courtrooms, the hackles went up in the legal community and beyond. For insight, we welcome: Michael Spratt, partner at the Ottawa criminal law firm Abergel Goldstein & Partners. He's served as a director of the Criminal Lawyers' Association; Mitch Heimpel, director of policy at the public affairs firm, Enterprise Canada;and Joanna Baron, executive director of the Canadian Constitution Foundation.

    The Magic of Mushroom Therapy

    The Magic of Mushroom Therapy
    Depression. Addiction. Anxiety. OCD. Anorexia. Psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, is being used to treat a wide range of mental-health disorders, with some very promising results. But what is the experience like in these sessions that can last as long as eight hours? And what exactly does it offer people?

Producer Eric Bombicino visits "the most beautiful room" in Toronto General Hospital and finds out how this psychedelic is changing people's minds.

    Are Omnibus Bills Anti-Democratic
    What happens when a government wants to introduce a bill with a variety of unrelated items? It becomes what's called an ,omnibus bill., The current Ontario government introduced just such a bill last week, and we invite Peter Loewen, the director of the U of T's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, to give us an explainer on the meaning and intent of omnibus bills.
