More than half-a-million Ontarians live with ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. But it's unlikely to be the focus of much attention during the debate tonight among provincial political party leaders. Heidi Bernhardt of The Centre for ADHD Awareness Canada tells us how they are helping families engage with candidates; Alex Marland teaches political science at Memorial University. He'sthe author of 'Whipped: Party Discipline in Canada,' and a Professor of Political Science at Memorial University. He discusses how parties vet their candidates in light of some the difficulties a number of them have had during this provincial election; Has our public civility declined over the course of the pandemic? And why? Laura Cavanagh has a few ideas. She is a registered psychotherapist and professor of behavioural sciences at Seneca College. It's probably no consolation to weary fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs, but two Canadian teams will move on in the N.H.L. playoffs. Sean Fitzgerald talks about the prospects for Canada's teams; Cecil Foster is a Canadian novelist and professor at the University of Buffalo who lives ten minutes away from the scene of the shooting of 13 people on the weekend; He offers his perspective on the tragedy; CBC reporter Joanne Chianello profiles the New Blue Party and the Ontario Party, two new parties in the province who are vying for our votes.
