How our politicians can bring in billions of immigrants and not widen the roads is unbelievable.

How is Dial A Bus working out?

back when brampton was not a shit hole with indian people stinking up the place

Huh, guess the jews were driven out off Spadina by the influx of Chinese migrants, Chinese have Spadina (one of four Chinatowns...) and the Jewish folks dominate Bathurst and Lawrence area.

hahaha I love it.

Cool to see how the Canadian Horseshoe Falls looked on the left before they built Niagara Falls State Park on the American side. Those small thin Falls are no longer there.

once upon a time i guess, because 2024 ontario is a very different place...

The narrator is 100% Canadian.

all vancouver has is skid row granville street and the yellers

like vancouver think they have highways lmao

Wow , I was 16 in 1984. Loved the 80s. This is great

I thought it was the starting credits but it was actually the ending credits

I remember, in mid 80's driving with my parents from Canada's wonderland on HWY 7...and slept in a brand new Holiday Inn, and Markville shopping Center was brand new.

Wow no nudity 😮

HAHAHAHAHA. What happened

I was born in Aug ‘53 so I don’t remember Hazel. But then I was living in Toronto so it may not have been affected. Since 1980 I have lived in Florida so have seen too many hurricanes, including Katrina, which blew my roof off.

Oh look no god damned pick up trucks every five meters driven by absolutely small dick bozos. Good old days.

1903 10 miles an hour in urban areas, well we must be going back in time the way they keep reducing the speed limits in urban areas today.

Living as a Jew in Canada has become a nightmare. Thank you Socialism.

and today most dirt roads in America are in better shape then our paved roads do to all our tax money going to countries to build their new bridges and super trains and better ports and better medical advances and our military fighting their wars

should be called the road that destroyed every small town in America

I miss this Ontario, now it stinks. Moved to Alberta and no regrets.

Now the climate change globalist demons want us on the bike path in 15 minute cities while conducting their war on freedom and our beautiful cars.

Great film classic music

Better than the disgusting things we see today. They wanted equality back then. Now, most of them want privilege. I'm gay and went to pride a few years ago. Never again.

I noticed that a lot more people used to ride a bicycle back then. Now most people drive in huge SUVs and almost nobody rides a bike.

Roads aren't dust clouds anymore.

the last generation that lived a "normal" life

I am from this area - really appreciate this footage thank you for posting

What happened to the Future?

I was 18, what happened to the future? The beginning of the elete planners. No regard for cost. Now We pay.

I have been stuck in traffic on the 401 collector lanes since this film was produced in 1978

I had more hair.

10:37 Depicting the manufacturing of cigarettes is not something would "celebrate on film" today.

7:30 The rail car depicted is for the "Expo Express" rapid transit system inside Expo 67. Similar to Toronto subway cars (shown behind) but automated, air conditioned and larger windows. After expo, used only for a few summers afterwards. After lots of false starts and failed re-use plans, the abandoned trains were finally scrapped in 1996. A similar fate to the Deux Montages commuter rail line cars under Mount Royal. Built by Bombardier in 1995, the electric powered cars ended service in 2020 so the line could be converted to part of "REM" , a regional rapid transit service. After attempts to sell the cars generated no interest, they were scrapped in 2023. This was the only "mainline rail" electrification, started in 1921, in all of Canada.

GO train running down the Don Valley in Toronto at the end.

2:24 Yonge and 401/Lord Seaton.

This is so exciting and a blessing. I will share with my social work colleagues in education... You have truly blessed me

i remember this like it was yesterday . ahh , a time when someone could put a little humor in a otherwise dull service commercial without getting someone's feels upset ...lol

sorry vancouverrites you cant drive in toronto you dont have the balls

18:14 - We call this one "The Decapitator"!

Such a great teaching resource, thank you!

Spending 99% of my life growing up here. This is both amazing and depressing at the same time.

When Ontario was led by visionary leaders real "Progressive" Conservatives like John Robarts and Bill Davis and not Mike Harris and Doug the Destroyer. When Ontario Place was a public place with the Forum and Cinesphere without privately owned spas and music theatres designed to enrich Ticketmaster.

My grandfather (1886-1976) worked for Eaton's in Toronto, for many years and was the tenor soloist and choir Master at Timothy Eaton United Church also for many years.

We will never feel this sense of optimism again

The Bagel just west, a few yards from Spadins on the south Ssde, was a tremendous Jewish Deli. Switzes rDeli oo on Spadina ...west side of street.

Remember The Sticky Wicket pub by Top Cuts?

It doesn't take the I.Q. of a rocket scientist to know that it makes no logical sense at all when confusing what generation someone is from. Only keeping up with fashion while still being single is not going to cut it either.

Dont remember the last time I noticed and advanced green blinking light.
