Show detail Hide detail

This consists of film footage shot for a CBC Newsmagazine program about Operation Freedom, a publicity campaign by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce to promote the freedom of private ownership and production. It is an attempt by the Chamber of Commerce to communicate to the Canadian public that socialism really means that right to ownership and production, rather than the welfare state kind of socialism advocated by some political parties. Debates, discussions and interviews with members of various Chambers of Commerce and people outside these organizations shows the confusion and controversy Operation Freedom creates. This is part of an interview (audio only) with Mr. Kirkpatrick, President of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. He says the Chamber of Commerce initiated Operation Freedom to promote a country-wide discussion about the system of competitive free enterprise. Also discussed are: communism; socialism; criticism of Operation Freedom in the Toronto Globe and Mail newspaper in Saturday Night magazine and by the Toronto Board of Trade. Kirkpatrick says 75 percent of Canada's 900 Chambers of Commerce are in small towns. He disputes the charge by New Democratic Party leader Tommy Douglas that big business organized Operation Freedom to protect big business. He says the Chamber's Board of Directors will be reviewing Operation Freedom in May, which may result in changes. Kirkpatrick comments on the basic aim of the campaign "to inform Canadians of our democratic form of government and also of the free enterprise competitive system". He feels Operation Freedom has realized some of its basic aims to arouse discussion across the country. The segment concludes with his comment that the program will continue "for years" and that criticisms are good for it.
