Overview
Did you know that the Wonderbra is a Canadian invention? How about the gas mask? Standard time? The instant replay? Computer animation? How about electronic music? Or that famous "American" Superman? Canadian Made is a series about Canada's tradition of invention, innovation and discovery - astonishing in its range and genius, yet unheralded at home and abroad.

Overview
'Hewers of wood and drawers of water' is how Canadians were traditionally (and pejoratively) dismissed, abroad and (shockingly) at home too. If Canadian Made proves anything, it's that this old image is a load of beaver dung. This episode tells the stories of three inventions that utterly change our view of trees: the totem pole, newsprint and the water bomber.
