Produced by the NFB for Unity Canada.

To the tune of O Canada, the old prejudices are trotted out: the Indians can't hold their liquor; the Blacks are lazy; the English are businesslike; the French are all separatists. Canada is riddled with problems, but boasts twenty-three million solutions: those offered at the ballot box. The spirit of this tongue-in-cheek animation film suggests that perhaps Canada's problems are not as monumental as we would like to think they are.
