When asked "What can we do better than the Americans?", Conundrum answers "Sell to Communists". He also comments on an economic union between the United States and Canada, stating "There is advantage in the U.S. merging with a competitor, but what sense is there in merging with a subsidiary".~The program includes film clips of the following: Russian parade; General Charles de Gaulle in motorcade of French parade; Chinese parade; "Poles Apart" - A Bilingual History of Our Flag (cartoon short); staged interview with fictitious Canadian economist Professor Conundrum; and a skit featuring the Peace Tower lifting off as a rocket.
