Clark was the first Canadian politician to take a strong stand for decriminalization of marijuana in Canada, for a guaranteed minimum income for everyone. In many ways his social liberalism was as bold in the 1970s; these positions put Clark at odds with the right-wing members of his caucus, several members of which were not afraid to confront him. For example, in the lead-up to the 1979 election, the bulk of Clark's riding was merged into the newly created riding of Bow River during a redistribution of ridings. Fellow Tory MP Stanley Schumacher had much of his old riding of Palliser merged into Bow River as well. Though Clark was now party leader, Schumacher refused to step aside in Clark's favour, forcing Clark to run in nearby Yellowhead. Following the resignation of PC party leader Robert Stanfield, Clark sought and won the leadership of the PC Party at the 1976 leadership convention.

The favourite among Red Tories was Flora MacDonald. MacDonald dropped off after the second

The KB SAT SR-10 is a prototype Russian single-engine jet trainer aircraft, fitted with forward-swept wings. It first is being offered to the Russian Air Force and for export; the Russian design bureau KB SAT began work on a single-engine jet trainer and sport aircraft, the SR-10, in 2007, displaying a mockup at the MAKS airshow at Zhukovsky in August 2009. The SR-10 is a mid-wing monoplane of all-composite construction, with a wing swept forward at an angle of 10 degrees; the crew of two sit in a tandem cockpit. It is powered by a single turbofan, with a Ivchenko AI-25V AI25TSR fitted in the prototype, but more modern Russian engines, such as the NPO Saturn AL-55 are proposed for production aircraft; the SR-10 was offered to meet a 2014 requirement for a basic trainer for the Russian Air force, but was rejected in favour of the Yakovlev Yak-152, a piston-engined trainer. Despite this setback, KB SAT continued to develop the SR-10, proposing it as an intermediate trainer between the Yak-152 and the Yak-130 advanced jet trainer and for export.

The first prototype SR-10 made its maiden flight on 25 December 2015. In July 2017, KB SAT announced that it had developed an unmanned variant of the aircraft named the AR-10 Argument. In September 2018, according to media reports, the Russian government failed to allocate funds to start production of SR-10 for the Russian Air Force and as a result KB SAT suspended all work on the project.

The Red Lantern is a 1919 American silent drama film starring Alla Nazimova, who plays dual roles, directed by Albert Capellani. It is notable today for being Anna May Wong's screen debut. A single print survives in Europe with rumors of a copy at Moscow; as described in a film magazine, Mahlee is a half-Chinese and half white woman, which makes her an outcast. After her grandmother dies, she goes to a Christian mission in Peking where she is converted and becomes a missionary. There she falls in love with Andrew Templeton, the son of the mission leader Reverend Alex Templeton, but the son's admiration is tempered by her mixed race. Dr. Sam Wang is secretly a Boxer leader. Dr. Wang loves Mahlee but she spurns his advances. One day Blanche Sackville visits the mission, Mahlee realizes that she is the daughter of the Englishman her grandmother told her about and is her half-sister. Although Mahlee feels an attachment to Blanche, she soon becomes jealous when she realizes that Sir Philip Sackville favors a suite between Blanche and Andrew Templeton.

Capitalizing on the disdain in Mahlee's heart, Sam Wang convinces her to join him and impersonate the Goddess of the Red Lantern, a mystic personage that presides over the Chinese New Year, to convince the superstitious revolutionaries that victory is near if they follow Wang. While she serves the Boxer cause, she still cannot bear to have those she loves hurt, so she goes to the mission to warn them of an attack, she meets Philip Sackville and pleads for him to acknowledge her as his daughter and take her away from China, but Sackville refuses. She celebrates the Feast of the Lanterns. Although the Boxers are suspicious of her, Wang saves her. Armed conflict between the Boxers and Allies results in the rout of the Chinese. Mehlee goes to the Boxer Palace and while on her throne, she drinks the poison Wang gives her. Philip Sackville and Andrew come to the palace and discover Mehlee dead. Alla Nazimova...
