Megaprojects Jobs in BC: Province Report 1 with Fred Latremouille 1982

In the early 80s the Social Credit government of Bill Bennett in BC created a series of short films about the great work the government was doing.
The first film was about a series of megaprojects the government was funding and all the jobs that were being created during the recession.
37-year-old broadcaster Fred Latremouille was the host for the films.

Bill Bennett had the best aesthetics. The flag logo logo from the license plates, the entire expo futurism theme and videos like this
