A great deal has been written in the days following the passing of former Ontario Premier, William Grenville Davis. And I can only imagine even more has been said around kitchen tables, summer campfires and Zoom meetings around the province. It's hard to imagine what more can be added to the story of a man who shepherded the province of Ontario through times of great growth and modernization as well as times of increased political tension and financial restraint. Well, hard to imagine unless you're Steve Paikin or Charles Pascal. Steve Paikin is the highly respected host of TVO's flagship public affairs program, The Agenda and, among many other things, the author of "Bill Davis: Nation Builder, and Not So Bland After All".Charles Pascal is professor of applied psychology and human development at OISE/UT. He has a great deal of expertise in early and higher education, public policy and leadership development and he's not shy about sharing that expertise. His most recent book is "Leading From The Inside Out: Hard-Earned Lessons from Education, Government and ... Baseball".Steve and Charles have been sharing a lot of stories about Mr. Davis over the past few days. They've been good enough to join us today to allow us to listen in on some of that remembering.

Ontario's 18th premier William G. Davis, who created many of this province's most celebrated institutions while becoming its second longest-serving premier, died last Sunday. Steve Paikin speaks with some of Davis's former colleagues to mark his achievements. Hugh Segal, former associate cabinet secretary for federal provincial relations in the Davis government; Janet Ecker, former Ontario finance minister and former staffer in Bill Davis's office; and Toronto Mayor John Tory discuss their experiences working with Mr. Davis, and discuss his imprint on the province - its politics and policies.

Today we rethink Technical and Vocational Education and Training. Instead of looking at it from a human capital approach, my guest, Leesa Wheelahan, looks at it from a productive capabilities perspective. Together with Gavin Moodie and Eric Lavigne, Leesa Wheelahan has recently co-written a new report for Education International entitled Technical and vocational education and training as a framework for social justice: Analysis and evidence from World Case Studies. Leesa Wheelahan is Professor and William G. Davis chair in Community College Leadership at the Ontario Institute for Education Studies at the University of Toronto. This episode was put together in collaboration with Education International. www.freshedpodcast.com/wheelahan/ ‎ Twitter: @FreshEdpodcast Facebook: FreshEd Email: info@freshedpodcast.com
