Bring the Expos back!

this the most Canadian thing since that time Mike Bullard filled in for goalie in that lacrosse game with those french Canadian singing nuns

Wow. The ultimate flashback to when I was 7 years old in 1967. My parents took us a number of times from Ottawa. Watching this brought back so many memories. Makes me sad and happy at the same time.

Just think that in 4 short years this amazing man made island was completed pavilions, rail, and all. I was 18 at the time and traveled twice from staid old Toronto into a thrilling moment in our history. I will never forget that experience and the joy I felt being Canadian in what seemed like a foreign land.

My parents went there on vacation. They had so much fun, I popped out 9 months later. 😆

Where's our collective dream?

Why does everyone think that Russian pavilion has become a university? It became a part of permanent exhibition in Moscow.

What a lovely video. I was lucky to attend when I was just six. I still vividly remember my wonderment and joy.

What an excellent documentary, thank you for bringing life to one of the most defining moments in Canadian history :)

I was 3 when we went, I have memories of this that brought tears to my eyes. It’s too bad the world cannot come together like this anymore.❤❤❤

IT WAS A DREAM TO COME TRUE FOR THOSE OF US LIVING HERE. OUR PARENTS BOUGHT US ALL PASSPORTS AND THAT WHOLE YEAR WAS AMAZING. I BELIEVE THIS ONE FESTIVAL BROUGHT CANADA INTO THE WORLD'S EYE.

I was born in Montréal in 1967. I guess my parents were really into it..!

We met with chief Pokinfire in Oka to discuss a Totem pole but it never materialized

I lived in Montreal and I could not stand the lineups ~ My guests saw Expo more than I did -The following year I visited what remained

👍👍

Please explain how Walt Disney (who died in 1966) was supposedly inspired by the Expo 67 American Pavillion for his Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow that featured no such dome in its initial planning and wasn't completed until 1982?

Drove there in my Austin Mini Four good sized guys with Camping gear on top. Absolutely fantastic.

M. Jean Drapeau! L’Expo 67, les Olympiques, le métro!!… quel grand homme! Montréal est depuis devenu une risée planétaire, sans âme!

The age of civility before hyperinflation is dearly missed. Happy memories of visiting after 1967.

I grew up in Ottawa, just down the road from Montreal. I was 12 years old when it opened and attended at least three times, if memory serves. I personally had NO idea until now, thanks to this video, of the actual history of the event and the incredible challenges that had to be overcome before opening day. Sadly, in those days, it seems that Quebec and Canada were much better prepared and certainly more determined to make this incredibly complicated event actually happen . . . and ON TIME than we seem to be today. Don't know what happened to us. For example, we have a rapid transit system here in Ottawa that has NEVER worked properly having opened only recently. Compared to the rapid transit in and around Expo, we've very much gone backwards. Very sad.

how much debt left?

Where will they play ?

My family told me that all they remember was the lineups

As a Montrealer, I am so proud of this golden age of Montreal even though the Expo took place before I was born.

Differences between Canadian and American strip clubs?

I remember that day that Tornado touched my hometown that day it was horrible . 😢😢😢

Forever envious of ppl who got to visit. I wasnt even born until 30 years later! 😂

WOW! I am floored. I have just seen the greatest show on earth. This version of Expo 67 is absolutely stunning. I thought the previous version would be the best I will ever see but this one brings the experience to another level completely. Breathless is how I feel right now. Like visiting Expo 67, viewing this video was itself a magical experience. And I know what I am talking about because I had a passport for the summer and was there on opening day.

Expo 67 an amazing event, amazing venue, I was so fortunate to attend with my mother and older brother as an 8 year old. I returned to the park in 2015, I was overwhelmed with the flood of memories upon seeing the old US pavilion. Montreal is a wonderful city to visit.

DRAPEAU. Best Montreal Mayor and who Put Montreal on the World Map...😁👍🏻 Today we have a useless PLANTE mayor who is destroying Montreal. It looks like a Middle East War Zone.🤬👎

Canada at it’s peak. In 2024 that’s rather obvious.

we didnt get power for 3 weeks

MAN THIS CITY IS BOMB! The issue here: the mayor, the Vice president of Quebec and the mafia also the (immigration)

I wasn't alive yet but I was definitely happy to attend Expo 86 in Vancouver for virtually every weekend from May 2 to October 13 that year.

1967 was Canada at its absolute zenith. Everything was possible. Canadians from coast to coast oozed with national pride and unity. How far we have fallen as a nation.

SICK STUDENTS HAVE ALREADY VANDALIZED SOME CARS WITH THEIR GEOMETRY SETS!!!

Oh que oui! as we say. My mon did murals for the Canadian Pavillon! My dear mom! My father stole all the money from commissions! I love her! RIP mom!

34:41 In 2001 Montreal made a huge error selling La Ronde to Six Flags and leasing the land to them until 2065. La Ronde has just been an overpriced tourist trap ever since. Terrible decision by the city to lease such prime real -estate for such a long time.

Such a hard hit of nostalgia that includes a profound feeling of pride nearly 60 years later. It is absolutely where Canada found its modern identity and sense of self, removed at last from the shadow of its neighbour to the south and allowed to shine in its own right. An identity that remains to this day. There is no need to compete when you've proven you're without equal. That is true of both Québec specifically and Canada as a whole. Personally, I placed the tip of my thumb on the tip of my nose, looked north toward Russia, and wiggled my fingers. Les Québécois(e), eat pressure and impossible goals for breakfast, and wash it down with a tall cup of 'enweille, allons-y"

I was 10 when we visited Expo. I've never forgotten the experience. Towards the middle of the video, I found myself weeping for the Canada that used to be.

WHEN IT COMES TO AMAZING FOOD, MONTREAL IS ONE OF THE TOP 3. HOWEVER, PARIS INVENTED THIS ICONIC TREAT 100 YEARS AGO BUT WE COME CLOSE!!

🌹🌹🌹🌹

I went to Expo 1967 almost every evening after work....... and also every weekend....!!!! I was 22 years old when it opened in April........!!!! It was for me THE BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE....... and I am now 79 years old...... and I will never forget this......and the city where I was born..........!!!! Thank you Canada for such an incredibly year.....!!! BRAVO......!!!!

I found vintage monthly magazines about expo published that summer.

And this is why I Canada has a debt that’s impossible to pay off took them almost 50 years to pay off the Olympic stadium too. Lol.

I was 10 years old and lived on the west island of Montreal. The pride and optimism in Canada was such a far cry from today. Canadians no longer know how to dream. This video reminds me so much of what we have lost as a nation. Now every city in the nation has homeless encampments. Something that didn't exist in 1967. Our forests are burning and young folks can't even dream of owning a home. We could really use the same sense of possibilities and can do attitude that existed in 1967 again.

So, according to this porcine hedonist, the only thing people are eating in NYC, the biggest food scene in the world, is scallops, steaks and whitefish?? Yo, props to your joint, it is an incredible place to eat, no doubt, but you need to put down the pipe, let the Lipitor take effect and chill with your nonsense.

That maybe the only transit railway in America that take you from downtown MTL to Panama in 15 minutes! ! ! Wow! No Boeing, No Airbus only the REM could do it. - So maybe you should rename the station to Brossard something not to confused Americans.

Vous devriez faire ce reportage en français pour vendre le REM dans l'Est de MTL. Voir la ville de haut plutôt que sous-terre.

4 ans! En 4 ans on a créé des iles, bâtit des pavillions, aménagé le territoire mais aussi bâti des autoroutes et le Métro. En 4 ans!. Aujourd'hui le tunnel Hippolithe-Lafontaine est en 'réparation' depuis combien de temps? On doit bâtir un nouveau pont pour l'ile d'Orléans à quel coût? et ça prendra combien de temps? J'avais 14 ans à l'époque et ça été tout un été et le party. Ce qui m'embête le plus aujd'hui c'est que plus rien ne bouge. On a belles paroles mais on n'avance pas. On a besoin de plus de Jean Drapeau et de Lucien Saulnier. Des hommes et des femmes qui mettent en action leurs idées avangardistes.
