Ontario Hubs and The Agenda's Week
McMaster University medical student Nicole Crimi talks about how her children's book, "Patty and the Pandemic," came about and why it was important for her to use artistic skills and scientific knowledge to help shepherd kids through this uncertain time. Since March, dating apps have experienced a surge in membership and usage as people turn to their phones to find companionship. How has the pandemic affected the search for love and intimacy? We ask: Maryanne Fisher, a psychology professor at Saint Mary's University in Halifax; Rebecca Liang, a student at Ryerson University; and Natasha Sharma, relationship expert and co-founder of The 8-Hour Therapist. How are businesses doing in the network of underground paths in Toronto, and office towers across the province when so many people are working from home? Then, how can the province attract students to the fields most needed? How is the China-Canada relationship progressing along? And, we discuss what happened to the open internet's promise?

90 Day Fiancé
90 Day Fiancé offers a unique look into the world of international dating and matrimony. Using a unique 90-day fiance visa, the K-1 visa, four women and two men will travel to the U.S. to live with their overseas partners for the first time. The couples must marry before their visas expire in 90 days, or the visiting partner will have to return home. They'll have to overcome language barriers, culture shock and skeptical friends and family -- all with a clock that starts ticking the moment they step foot on U.S. soil. The stakes are incredibly high as these couples are forced to make a life-altering decision: get married or send their international mate home.
Vienna Blood
Max Liebermann is a brilliant young English student of famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. When Max comes into contact with Oskar Rheinhardt, a Detective Inspector struggling with a strange case, he agrees to help him investigate a series of unusual and disturbing murders. Max's extraordinary skills of perception and forensics, and his deep understanding of human behavior and deviance, lead them to solving some of Vienna's most mysterious and deadly cases.
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.
