The National
This flagship 22-minute newscast debuted in 1956, just four years after CBC Television itself. In 1982, it was the first newscast to jump from the 11 p.m. to a 10 p.m. prime-time slot. Followed by a new show called The Journal, The National soon became "must-hour" viewing for over 1.5 million Canadians. But a 1993 gamble proved disastrous when Prime Time News replaced the show in a 9 p.m. timeslot. It was bumped back to 10 p.m. a year later and renamed The National in 1995. Its anchors number among the country's top journalists, including Larry Henderson, Earl Cameron, Stanley Burke, Warren Davis, Lloyd Robertson, Peter Kent, Knowlton Nash and Peter Mansbridge.

NDP can't climb past Wall
Broadcast Date: Nov. 7, 2007
November, 2007: Brad Wall and his upstart Saskatchewan Party win a strong majority in the province, ending 16 years of NDP rule. Premier Lorne Calvert and the NDP consistently lagged in pre-election polls, despite overseeing a huge economic boom in the province. The Saskatchewan Party, formed just 10 years earlier for the express purpose of defeating the NDP, captures 51 per cent of the popular vote, and Wall promises lead Saskatchewan to "the vanguard of the country."NDP can't climb past Wall
• The Saskatchewan Liberal party was not very successful before the 1997 formation of the Saskatchewan Party, but it's had even less luck since. The 2007 election marked a second straight shutout for the Liberals as Leader David Karwacki failed to capture his own constituency and the party remained without official party status.NDP can't climb past Wall
