CBC-TV News in Review: September 1997*
- 1997 ----- color ----- 60 min ----- vhs
- Segments: 1. Election 97: The Regions Speak (18 min) Although Parliament regained a certain balance with the return of the NDP and the Conservatives, this election reinforced and perpetuated regionalism in Canada. The new political reality of five political parties holding official status in the House of Commons contributes to a lack of a clear political outlook as the country heads to the next referendum. 2. Newfoundland 500: John Cabot Was Here (14 min) Pride, festivities, pomp and circumstance, royal visitors, the tourism agenda, media attention, and native protests make for a problematic mix in terms of an event that involves historical uncertainties. 3. Hong Kong: Back to China (13 min) Canada and Hong Kong have always had significant historical, economic, and cultural ties. As a trading partner with Hong Kong in a new global economy, Canada also feels the effect of any political change in this relatively tiny jurisdiction. 4. The Manitoba Flood: No High Ground (11 min) The Manitoba flood of 1997 was a test of the strength and ability of individuals and governments to respond quickly and efficiently in emergency situations. It is also an event that underscores our need to understand changing global weather patterns.
