Gzowski in conversation with Peterson

Broadcast Date: Oct. 30, 1990
CBC Radio's Peter Gzowski visits Oscar Peterson at his home near Toronto. Together they look back on Peterson's long and illustrious career.
At this stage in his career, Peterson has received countless accolades and awards. Despite the honours, Peterson can't shake the feeling of being slighted by Canadians. He tells Gzowski how he has even been mistaken for a football player in Canada.

What is clear is Peterson's fierce nationalism. He's particularly passionate about issues of Quebec separation, native rights and the treatment of home-grown talent.
