Marketplace has been a staple of Canadian television watching for nearly fifty years. From it's early days when "Stompin' Tom Connors" sang the opening theme song "...You save a lot of money spendin' money you ain't got!" through a string of hosts, many of whom went on to be national news anchors. "Marketplace" was a show we turned to for the low down on publicity trends, product safety and confidence men praying on unwary consumers. Many people turned to the "Marketplace" team for justice or to expose crooked business men and women. Often large corporations would settle out of court with victims of fraud rather than be exposed publicly on the show. Terrific television.

This is a very good series! It explains a lot of topics that concern us. From charges, we don't have to pay from the episode Canada's dumbest charges to showing us the real price for somethings like prices, Canada vs. The US and much more. This is one of the only series that talk about problems like these. I would totally recommend.
