City of Rivers (1964) - Hosted by Ed McCrea

[@talltiger2790]

I was watching CBC news Winnipeg when I saw this video. I just had to check it out. What a great piece of Manitoban history! Thank you so much for posting! :)

[@blossommarion9167]

My first time in Winnipeg was summer of 1967. And although I moved away many times I considered it my home base. Seeing the Monarch Building was a reminder of a lot of good times- I worked in that building for many years.

Excellent and somewhat optimistic view of Winnipeg in 1964, hosted and narrated by my brother's old teacher, Ed McCrea. My grandmother can be seen sipping coffee at 7:29.

I was 3 years old in 1950, and that was when our family left Winnipeg to live in Vancouver....now I've discovered more about where I was born !!! I have lots of good Winnipeg relatives that live there now, in 2021 . !

25:55 "If we Winnipeggers could make time stand still..." I think we succeeded. Winnipeg peaked in the 60's and really hasn't changed much at all since. It's incredible to know that Winnipeg's population was almost the same back then and it was the biggest city in the west until you got to Vancouver. Now cities like Edmonton and Calgary have nearly surpassed Winnipeg by double the population as much more modern cities. Very cool video.

[@XxxXxx-fm3wo]

Winnipeg did peak probably in the early 1970s, but it has changed a hell of a lot since then!

Unrecognizable. My Pops was a Cree pilot on the riverboats from '67 and on and off for years until they shut down. I lived there for a decade from the '80's to the mid '90's. I was attacked on my way to work on the morning of May 28th '98 and was in a coma for a month. After I got out of the hospital minus one eye and 7 skull fractures to heal up from I got mugged quite regularly every time I stepped outside, but not with the same deadly ferocity of the first episode. I've had an aunt stabbed to death in st. Vital when she was 12. I had a cousin shot execution style a couple years ago. I only return for necessities and never stay after dark. Meth will finish the city off. Watch.

That is beyond words, glad you survived. It's to bad you had this all happen. I've(so far) have been lucky but this is home for me. It's not always a shit hole but you still watch and are always on alert.

[@xxcallmegodxx89]

unfortunately you could not make a movie that convincing about Winnipeg anymore. all we are seeing is the decayed reminisce of what was 1964... and all of the garbage we see now. So sad. Let this video be a reminder of what was, and let this be a realization of what we are living in today so that we may focus on what the future needs to be.

[@barbarahales4569]

Winnipeg is still a small town in 2020.

so what is your actual point to your statement?

800,000 isn't 'small town'. anywho, what does it matter?

@@pro-tection9140 I was thinking tat too. I was actually impressed that the indigenous culture was represented at all in the way of dances, and marketing their leather and beadwork stuff. They are just as much a part of our cultural fabric as any other group. I never understood why they were treated so badly and looked down upon so much. 😕. I'm a white woman born in Winnipeg and although I've moved away many hearts so now, some of this stuff was c still around while I was living there( a lot still is)

As a white woman born in Winnipeg and lived there for almost half of my life I never ever understood why indigenous people were treated so very poorly. It was never fair. I'm very sorry that all that horrible stuff happened

[@BlondieGuitarGirl]

I grew up here, but left it behind because it had turned into such a total dump and terribly dangerous. The murder capital of Canada... Winnipeg in 2015 is an absolute cess-pool. Manitoba is a poor have-not Province, and its residents are taxed to death. Food is ridiculously over-priced and the water has become a horrid mix of dangerous chemicals, and the infrastructure is decayed /falling apart - something awful. What used to be an amazing city, has been transformed into a city of brown water and rotting EVERYTHING. Heaven help Winnipeg because in 20 years it will be resembling something of a 3rd world nation.

[@martinkent333]

In Winnipeg, many of the parents ignore traffic laws with their children and many of these parents are civil servants. Youth in Manitoba actually deserve law-abiding, ethical and conscientious civil servants, because their future depends upon it. Let's double traffic fines in capital cities and watch long overdue, law-abiding streets and adults appear, in Winnipeg!!

[@TheTenthLeper]

I wonder if you still think it's a good idea..

[@martinkent333]

@@TheTenthLeper Yup, any city who thinks calling their football team the "Bombers" instead of the "Blue Bombers', after having a lawyer's hand blown off and a car full of people bombed, is a suspicious one. Winners? or Losers? Lawlessness in any capital is obscene, to the Law-abiding Commonwealth Capital City Streets, Communities and Institutions Association, dude. Kids expect their civic servants to be conscientious, ethical and law-abiding at ALL times.

@@martinkent333 you sound like someone who got the short end of the stick in dealing with the city somehow . Also not sure if you meant football team as opposed to basketball
