First Day of "Lockdown" Walk in Toronto on November 23, 2020

[@rb4627]

I have a disability so it's hard for me to get around. These videos are great to live through vicariously.

[@sinasisimsek9434]

Hi man.doesnt matter .me too...I see the life from good side..

[@JohnnyStrides]

Glad you find value in the vids!

sorry to be so off topic but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me

Thanks a lot for these videos, mate. You do an incredible job of showing us around. Nowadays, my mornings start with taking the "e-stroll" through Toronto downtown streets with tea in my hand. Even though I've not physically been to Toronto yet, I already know my way around the downtown, especially the Eaton Centre :D .. Would love to bump into you someday soon (post this pandemic craziness), while taking an actual stroll, and treat you to a hot one from Timmy's haha .. Keep up the great work, buddy.. Love from Sydney!

[@JohnnyStrides]

That's awesome and glad you enjoy the vids! Stay safe down in Sydney!

Last year, i had stayed at toronto(about a month) for study emglish. I really missed that time. 😭😭 this video remind of my memory in Toronto

[@alibhg3063]

You are soo close to 25K! I'd be shocked if you didn't get it by tomorrow or Thursday. You should do another wild late night walk lol when you get to 25k. The old city hall is beautiful!

[@KristinaTravelina]

Exactly 👍🏻

[@JohnnyStrides]

I might be there much sooner 😲😲😲

[@nenarojas5721]

Es bueno empezar o terminar en Yonge con Dundas , es más fácil ubicarse en la ciudad. Maravilloso paseo en la nieve ayer. Gracias por las filmaciones nocturnas, la cámara extraordinaria.

[@rauldiaz8987]

Canada is so beautiful 😍. I'm from Los Angeles California, hopefully one day I'll be able to visit.

[@streetsofasia8895]

Hello Johnny Strides, my fellow walker of the KZbin platform, I am always inspired to watch your successful and very interesting videos in Toronto. Keep it up, my friend!

[@CityWalks]

🍎👍Stay safe up there. Glad you are still able to be out walking and exploring and showing us the situation. Stay safe. -H

Hi Johnny my phone is down I have a loner phone using until mine is fixed 😔now I can see your wonderful vlogs I surely had missed your vlogs and i am about to go and watch all that i missed and i am sure i missed some kool seen and I have seen you made it to 20k congratulations 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳these vlogs are so relaxing and breathtaking you deserve it👏👏🤗thanks once again for sharing and continue to stay safe 🥰🤗🥰

Beautiful walk - really enjoyed and thank you for taking me here! 👍

Looking at this is making me miss Toronto even more!!! Gosh, I want to come back so bad!!!

[@keithng2517]

"Buskers and Religious creatures!" Johnny, I love your commentary. I do not understand why you prefer to mute yourself on some the walks/rides. Your commentary makes the walks/bike rides and the streams very interesting and it kills the time much more enjoyable

[@JohnnyStrides]

The older vids were all quiet so I try to do some of those from time to time. The majority are narrated though!@ :)

[@pamrosina]

The old city hall building is so gorgeous 💗

[@johnh23z]

They almost tore it down .

[@pamrosina]

@@johnh23z that would have been tragic, so happy they didn't.

thanks for going out even at a time like this. take care dude.

Just wow. This is a great job man, i dream to visit this beautiful city 😍

Hi Johnny me and my grandson are watching this in Belfast really good video hoping to get the Canada soon

[@laura-tr8uw]

Omgggg I miss Toronto so much I have traveled there twice and fell in love, I’m so sad and bummed out I won’t be able to travel there anytime soon.

[@mariajiml9895]

I have visited Toronto 36 yrs ago Honeymoon we went to NIAGARA FALLS.

[@thefozzybear]

In many ways, Canadian Tire is essential, what if you need a part to repair your sink to prevent it from flooding.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Yes but most of what they sell isn't, and it's absurd that smaller retailers are left out in the dark while someone can walk around Canadian Tire and browse toasters.

[@lindafukuyu5767]

I saw the ad "New Season - The Masked Singer" .. What a Timing ! :-P

[@chriswakefield8909]

Some of these shots are beautiful for low light on the pocket 2. Do you use the standard color profile or d-cinelike? Do you set your ISO max or just let the pocket do it's thing?

[@JohnnyStrides]

It's on standard and pretty much auto everything. I do run these through a denoiser if time allows (this one I didn't though). Cheers

[@chriswakefield8909]

@@JohnnyStrides Ah great, that's good to know thanks. Do you use a denoiser in Premier Pro or a different one? Good stream last night btw.

[@roblamb5468]

Toronto love toronto a great place to visit from barrie ontario. I Love going down there when I can to sonic boom great city for sure!!! ❤

[@iangarcia2452]

amazing video! just want to ask, is the footage color graded/ corrected in post processing at all or is it straight out of the pocket 2 camera? if it is straight from camera was it shot on full auto or did you have to tune the settings a certain way? thanks in advance. I'm planning to buy the pocket 2 but is not sure about its video quality.

[@JohnnyStrides]

My Pocket 2 vids have just been straight from the camera, mostly on auto, normal colour profile. I haven't had the chance to fiddle much.

[@iangarcia2452]

@@JohnnyStrides wow now I’m very impressed with this tiny thing lol

[@searaydrivingguy]

The last time i was in Toronto was in 2009, I am from Vancouver i have to say Toronto looks very clean for a large city

[@ericasmith6919]

The buildings are huge a lot those condos?

[@martysender5539]

the Toronto Chamber of Commerce should hire you. the Pocket 2 is amazing.

[@MaryLordsCaamino]

I miss this place. Take care my friend.

[@Starfire3684]

Big box stores are open because they sell essential items such as groceries,the tire place is open because transportation is essential,my guess.Love your videos.

[@JohnnyStrides]

That is correct but it's unfair for them to be selling non-essential goods while smaller retailers are locked out IMO and provided almost nothing in the way of assistance. Cheers!

[@OneClipAtATime]

Just discovered your channel, Johnny! Great content! How are you liking the Osmo Pocket 2? I have the original version and I like it but I hate that I don’t have any zooming capabilities. Is it worth the upgrade, in your opinion?

[@JohnnyStrides]

If you're a heavy user I'd say so. I much prefer the Pocket 2 but I can see why it's not worth it for people not using it a whole lot... also for 4K the zoom is just 2x (but still neat!).

[@OneClipAtATime]

@@JohnnyStrides I’m not a heavy user. Most of my work is photography work (done with my canon 6D mark ii). I thought I’d use the OP more than I have been unfortunately. The zoom ability is the main new feature that appeals to me. Maybe I’ll hold off for now. Thanks for the reply, dude!

[@JohnnyStrides]

@@OneClipAtATime No worries! I guess it comes down to budget? If you have unlimited money then sure, but most of us live in the real world so if the zoom is that appealing I'd consider seeing what the 1 could fetch used and use that as a discount off the 2? Cheers!

[@dharmeshpanchal4864]

Very very nice video thanx...!

[@irianaiskandarsjah8034]

Wish to visit Toronto again....🙏👍

[@BevieYHZ]

We have the exact same Churchill statue here in Hfx. I'll try to show it in a future video. Can't believe how quiet the city is now in lockdown.

[@sinasisimsek9434]

Hi good camman.you are s nice dude.I enjoyed very much from this hot vid.tour..

Don't dwell on negative vibes. As long as we are breathing, this is a grateful event for all of us. Praying for each one, this will pass.

It's hard not to notice the province gutting local businesses in Toronto.

Thank u for vidoe :) we comming out 2nd lockdown on 2nd dec :), good luck u be fine :) safe well and stay :) 😊🙃 i dunno what go happen new year i think go be 3rd lockdown ):

No they said the lockdown will be extended. I say give it a few weeks before the rest of the GTA shuts down

Ken you know I said can give us a ride on the on the train yesterday

[@ryeencoke]

So did you end up on tv when you went past that news crew?

[@JohnnyStrides]

lol, beats me

[@ryeencoke]

@@JohnnyStrides hehehe, you're more famous on youtube anyway, who cares about tv

[@RainbowObsidian777]

this is rhetorical question but... why is it that these mom and pop restaurants can not open and even use a patio space, yet McDonalds and A and W and Pizza PIzza etc can remain open, and don't even use outdoor space? i sure hope more and more small business owners take action on this, because there are a few doing it and even opening and taking a fine and then fighting them in court. knwo hour lawful rights etc. much love to all

[@JohnnyStrides]

That's a good point and I can't think of any valid reason. If the province really cared about them they'd offer substantial assistance while forcing them to close. They have presented zero evidence that outdoor dining is contributing much to our numbers yet they're hell bent on destroying these businesses. It's disgusting IMO and they should absolutely be held accountable for it.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

At the 15:00 min mark I kept thinking to myself, "what does that Ukrainian sign say?" since it had a backwards R and backwards N, I thought it was Cyrillac alphabet for a moment! I kept trying to sound it out in Ukrainian/Russian! LOL 😆
