PLOT
Barbara Frum helmed a 90-minute public affairs program that delved into national issues, typically airing quarterly. Focusing on topical subjects, the show extensively covered federal-provincial relations, starting with an exploration of the Parti Quebecois and its leader, Rene Levesque, who was elected the previous year. Other episodes scrutinized the energy crisis, unemployment, aboriginal land claims, family dynamics, the West, and Canada's natural resources.
