Quebec joins mounting complaints about CBC’s Canada: The Story of Us

Here's my ten cents.

The series was pretty inaccurate in certain aspects. This is too bad that it came from the CBC, and had Trudeau's face on it. However, I expected so. I've been watching docudramas for a while, and I'm not suprised. It was hyped as some eye opening film... yet it was just a docudrama. They did get some things right, but a lot wrong. Especially the native and French contributions. I can understand how people may feel miffed, but at the end of the day, no matter how justifiably angry you may feel, it is a show. One that has to fit 150 years of history in 10 45 minute episodes. I don't like how they glossed over important things, but there are still 8 more episodes. Call me naive, but there's still a lot to cover. I think that Champlain could have had some more screen time. The comparisons of this b rate film to Soviet propoganda is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. They will likely cover the conscription crisis and other important issues. But, remember....it's the CBC. Who expects much from them?

I admit to being a naive teenage optimist.
