Richard Gwyn was always good on The Agenda with Steve Paikin. I always read his columns in the Star and thought he gave a different perspective on Canadian politics.  Richard moved to Canada from England when he was 20 so his viewpoints and take on politics were unique.    Read both of his books on Sir John A.  Good reads and Gwyn felt that MacDonald was possibly the smartest and finest national politician of his era.   How times have changed,,,
