Great resource to get to know Canada better

I love listening to Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath (not in any specific order ;)) about Ontario's politics. I am a prospective immigrant originally from India, currently residing in the US. It really helps me get to know more the Canadian politics better and understand the local issues. I have always enjoyed listening to Steve on The Agenda with Steve Paikin because of his cordial style of interviewing (a pleasant departure than how they conduct interviews here at CNN or Fox) and love listening to JMM as well with his knowledge and insights about local politics. It was a delight following last years election with you two on OnPoli. It really helps me understand better what I am signing up for while going through the immigration process and make my decisions. Thanks so much to both of you and other contributors at OnPoli!
