This television public affairs program, hosted by Philip Deane, satirizes Canada's political process and structure. Impersonations, skits, humourous interviews, animation and unflattering photographs of Canadian politicians are used to point out foibles in Canadian leadership, election campaigns, federal-provincial relations, the two-party system, and Canada's sense of identity. Noteworthy features include: Rich Little's impersonation of Prime Minister Pearson; skits in which Eric House and John Welles portray citizens being polled; animation ridiculing Canada's constitution "based on nearly a thousand years of British history"; and interviews on the streets of London (England) and New York (United States) where people give unintentionally hilarious answers to questions on the upcoming Canadian election of 1965. <30mn>
