Show detail Hide detail

A study of the access to the corridors of power in the economic world, this program focuses on John Porter's findings on social and economic backgrounds of Canadian leaders in the soon to be published book "The Vertical Mosaic". It is generally believed that the middle or upper income Anglo-Saxon Protestant has a better chance of making it in business than anyone else. The importance of a private school education and the continuing affiliations through business clubs in Canada is examined. The program, consisting of interviews, stock footage and some statistical graphics, concludes with an interview with N.R. "Budd" Crump, a "self-made man" and Chairman of the CPR.~Stock footage of Bay Street, Toronto; Rue Street Jacques, Montreal; the Montreal Stock Exchange; companies and businessmen; and education.~John Porter is shown with graphics and views of Upper Canada College, Toronto.~The Reverend Dr. C.W. Sowby, Principal of Upper Canada College, talks about the traditions and principles that form world leaders.~Businessmen's Clubs across Canada (Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Vancouver) and their role are looked at.~Bud Crump is interviewed.
