Montreal 1965 archive footage

[@144wychwood]

I was year old when this was filmed. Brings back fond memories of Montreal when I drove around city with my late father.

Montreal in 1965 looks a lot cleaner than Montreal of the year 2024.

The year and city I was born in.

I was born in Montreal, (Pointe Saint Charles), in 1961. Lived there until 1981 when I joined the Air Force. Nice memories in the film, the buses, the old bus signs, (64 went on Wellington St. in "the Point"). Cops with horses and motorcycles. The buildings, and of course the street signs, wonderful to see "Dorchester" St., and of course all the English signs. Things have changed so much, and not for the better. Practically no english anywhere, many street names gone, changed to french... Even though I'm fully bilingual, I did not feel welcome last time I visited in 2012, and I really don't see myself ever going back to Québec.

Thats sad to say but Montreal and Quebec are french land. We were not welcome french citizens back then.

[@jeancharland3858]

C,est la meme chose pour les Quebecois partout hors Quebec.

Bullshit

It's the same for us anywhere else in the country.

The golden age of Montreal!

When the city was secured and clean!

Roads looked amazing

Nostalgic yet eerie at the same time knowing that all the people shown on these busy streets are likely dead today...

[@mstt3530]

Not all, but most. If you were a young child in 65 you’d be past 60 going on 70.

[@linnstr8609]

@@mstt3530 You're right, I see some young adults and a couple of kids near the end of the video that could be still alive today.

This footage of Montreal in 1965 is nostalgic for me because I arrived there in 1965 from India after spending an year each in UK and Germany. On Oct 16, I embarked the Holland America liner Ryndam that sailed from Rotterdam and arrived in Montreal on October 26, 1965. In 2024, I am 85 and still kicking in Guelph, Ontario.

The high-rises being built in the 60s (and beyond) were ghastly. Imagine what was destroyed to make way for "progress".

Where is the music credit?

[@alanpern]

Who plays the music?
