This re-broadcast of a special documentary prepared by staff of the Public Eye satirizes Canada's relationship to the United States. Shots of Canadian mountain ranges; sketches of early settlers; political cartoons; footage of politicians; media headlines; and commentaries by Warner Troyer and Ben Lennick ridicule the ongoing battle between the "Joiners" (Liberals), who want Canada to merge with the United States, and the "Loyalists" (Conservatives) who want Canadians to continue taking their cue from Great Britain. The shared assumption of both groups that Canada is not economically self-sufficient is satirized as a myth contributing to a Canadian sense of inferiority. <30mn>
