Hi, BruiseKnee...sorry I'm tardy in responding, and thanks for taking the time.

"They need to drop the ideology and focus on the documentary."
As if documentaries aren't part of "ideology!"  That goes back to the NFB of the 1950s (when we kids used to sit in a darkened school gym to watch "fillums"; documentaries about Canada.  Talk about "ideology"!  See the husky (French Canadian) lumberjack.  See the kindly wheat farmer. See those hard-working Atlantic fishermen (and they were "fishermen" back then.)  And those Ukrainians in their quaint costumes; those magnificent headresses worn during Banff Indian Days!

The ideology changes...one of the more recent CBC "docu-dramas" I recall, not because of stellar performances or production, but because of the outrage that ensued) was the WW II program on Allied (Canadian) bombing raids on Germany.  EVERYONE was up in arms (pardon the phrase) on that one...new-age thinkers and hoary ol' vets who sweated out the hours in Lancaster bombers.
