Counterpoint (TV series)

This Montreal-produced series highlighted Quebec culture in an effort to encourage harmony between English and French Canadians.

For example, a segment showed francophone customers of a British-themed tavern while anglophones ate at a French bistro.

While the series tended to promote culture more than politics, an interview with federal cabinet minister Jean-Luc Pépin was featured in one episode.

[1] Counterpoint was hosted by journalist Armande Saint-Jean and actor-producer Arthur Garmaise.

This half-hour series was broadcast on Sunday afternoons from 12 February to 18 June 1967, initially at 2:30 p.m., and changed to the 2:00 p.m. time slot from 16 April.
