About the event
John Turner was the prime minister of Canada in 1984 for only 79 days. But that short stint in no way reflects the commitment he made to his country, or the impact he had. Steve Paikin takes us through the life of a man who wasn't born in Canada, but gave so much to it.
Steve Paikin is the host of TVO's flagship current affairs program, The Agenda with Steve Paikin. He co-hosts the weekly provincial affairs #onpoli podcast and contributes columns to tvo.org. Paikin was born and raised in Hamilton, which explains his love of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Toronto Maple Leafs. We’re still trying to figure out his obsession for the Boston Red Sox.
