Telescope: Pat Carney
Broadcast Date: Nov. 3, 1970
One of the few “lady business writers” in the country, Pat Carney tries to give her readers a vicarious thrill by taking them places they’ll never go themselves. From remote logging camps to mining in the high Arctic, Carney puts a western point of view on the business pages. Talking work, family and politics in this Telescope close-up, Carney explains how she went to Ottawa a couple of years ago “as a committed nationalist and I came back a raving regionalist.”
