I have been anchor of TVO's flagship current affairs program The Agenda with Steve Paikin since 2006. 

I have written five books: 

•The Life: The Seductive Call of Politics 
•The Dark Side: The Personal Price of a Political Life  
•Public Triumph, Private Tragedy: The Double Life of John P. Robarts  
•The New Game: How Hockey Saved Itself  
•Paikin and the Premiers: Personal Reflections on a Half Century of Ontario Leaders

In 2013, I was appointed chancellor of Laurentian University in Sudbury, was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and invested into the Order of Ontario.

I have served as moderator of six election debates: the 2006, 2008, and 2011 federal leaders' debates, and the 2007, 2011, and 2014 Ontario provincial leaders' debates.

I have also produced several feature-length documentaries for TVO and I hold honorary doctorates from Victoria University, Laurentian University and Humber College.
