What we talk about when we talk about hate

Cole, author, playwright, broadcaster and senior editor at NOW Magazine; Jonathan Kay, op-ed columnist and comment pages editor for the National Post; Janet Keeping, President of the Sheldon Chumir Foundation for Ethics in Leadership; Richard Moon, author and Professor in the Faculty of Law, University of Windsor. Moderator: Steve Paikin, Host of TVO's The Agenda.
