The CBC does have the The Fifth Estate which is a
magazine type show similar to 60 Minutes except that
the articles on Estate are often more detailed and longer so they may only have one or two topics on each show
rather than the usual three that 60 Minutes has. Several
journalists on Estate are quite good IMHO, especially
Linden MacIntyre, Eric Malling, and Hana Gartner.
One thing that This Hour left behind was Beryl Fox's
Vietnam war film Mills of the Gods, no doubt one of the greatest Canadian documentaries ever done.
There is a full-size metal Arrow replica that is supposed
to be fairly true to the original as it was built from surviving Arrow documentation at the Toronto Aerospace Musuem located at the old CFB Downsview. They have it displayed
alongside an Avro Lancaster which was built at the same plant in Malton that the Arrow was.
