Quite honestly, The Agenda is one of the best shows regarding political discussion in Canadian media. Any decision in the Canadian political landscape is thoroughly discussed and disseminated. While national news can do this, it often glosses over the issue because of time restraints, an understandable issue but still a significant one.
Aside from the thoroughness, Steve Paikin is one of the best moderators in both national and international news. He allows both sides of an issue to explain themselves and doesn't allow for the either side to meander into their own talking points. He seems to be one of the few people who truly appear to be unbiased.
While the show can be a bit dull at times (depending on your interests- if you don't have an interest in the minutiae of Canadian history, the show won't always grab your attention), but with Paikin's moderation allows for valuable discussion.
If you want to genuinely try and understand the Canadian political landscape, give the show a try.
