Don Harron appears as his invented character Charlie Farquharson. Geoff Scott does imitations of former Conservative prime minister John G. Diefenbaker; current Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau; and Stanfield. The final speaker is Stanfield, who joins in the humour directed at himself. <60mn>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
