COVID-19 and the Economy, Ontario Hubs & The Agenda's Week
As the world grapples with containing the coronavirus, the economy has already taken quite a hit. To discuss what's happened and how Canada will fare, The Agenda welcomes Lindsay Tedds, professor and scientific director of fiscal economic policy at The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary, and Frances Donald, managing director, chief economist and head of Macro Strategy at Manulife Investment Management. In more than 300 communities across Ontario, public libraries open their doors to readers, and increasingly, others looking for a much wider range of services. Our Ontario hubs journalists have been looking into the many uses for libraries and why funding them is still so important, and they chat with Jeyan Jeganathan about what they found in each of their regions of the province. Then, we recap our top stories.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
