Toronto now smells like garbage and has mentally ill people on every street corner the state has thrown to the streets and abandoned. No graffiti back then like now everything has crap tags or bad art on it. Drugs being used openly every where these days and openly sold by csis/rcmp employees. Imagine how clean the air was back then. and no FFFFFing camera watching everything u do!

Amazing to look back at this to get the full perspective. My dad was born in 1920 in Dauphin. Came to Toronto in 1922 becoming his true hometown. He sold newspapers at 13 during the Depression on downtown streets and Maple Leaf Gardens to make a buck for the family. Was at the Toronto Maple Leaf overtime game where Ken Doraty scored the eventual winner. Back then, overtime ran a full 10 minutes with unlimited scoring. My dad, arguably the greatest newsy in Canada, sold a record 4,110 newspapers (incl. Telly fun cheques, for car draw) by the CNE ferris wheel on a single Labor Day in the 1960s. He was steeped in Toronto history and one of the Three Stooges was his friend, Curly Joe DeRita, who would send us a Christmas card every year. I got autographed pictures of the Stooges at the Royal York Hotel after a performance at the CNE's Exhibition Grandstand. Many fond memories. Thought you might find this interesting. I was very lucky to have such a great father.

So nice to see my city as it was in the 1920s. So many of the buildings are still around today. The city has changed in so many ways while remaining somewhat familiar. Toronto has truly evolved over the last 100 years. Today's metropolitan population is roughly 8 times what it was in the late 20s. Crazy to see the CNE as packed back then, as it is today. Thanks for this wonderful time capsule. Hope there are more videos like this one out there.

My father came to Toronto in 1926, when he was 18. He saw signs that read "No Catholics or Irish need apply." Nevertheless he made his way and really enjoyed Toronto, living in beautiful Parkdale, and joining what would become The Boulevard Club, playing Tennis. He told us of all the great music in the 30s and 40s, when he would go dancing,imlooked for him at Sunnyside.

In 2010 at the age of 58 I left Toronto for a quieter, smaller, less congested town about 110 kilometres away. It's wonderful to view all of this incredible architecture from a time when it was mostly new to Torontonians. Many of these grand, old buildings still stand today but Toronto is a far more modern metropolis now about 100 years later. This is a real trip down memory lane, thanks very much for bringing the city I love so much to life once again. What a treat!

I’m not sure if this is the Canadian Exhibition or a separate amusement park, but either way how can you fight that crowd to enjoy any ride or exhibit? And I can’t help but think, what if you are in the middle of all that and suddenly have an intestinal “emergency”? You couldn’t get to where you needed to “go.”

The Midway (where the rides and games were) were always crowded when I was a kid too in the 1960's. The Food building was a zoo as well since there were always free giveaways as well as many small businesses and farmers that sold specialty foods. My favourite building was the Arts and Crafts Building where you could get all sorts of models, crafts. stamps for collectors, model railroads, kites, chemistry sets and other things like that - activities which have declined into almost oblivion when PC-s and Cell phones etc. became accessible.

The sound effects were obviously added not long ago since sound films did not begin in earnest until the late 1920s. With the first talkie feature film being 'The Jazz Singer's made in 1927 and only a partial talkie at that.

Great one, thanks. As a 6th generation Torontonian, I heard many stories of the city from this era. Toronto lost a lot of its beautiful architecture in parts of the downtown, but the vast majority seen in most of this video is still there. Although, right now the wokesters have the John A Macdonald statue at the foot of Queen’s Park in a box: it’s at the 4:33 mark. Speaking of that, I have to head there now!

"Toronto lost a lot of its beautiful architecture in parts of the downtown", you can't keep everything, the structures that are tagged as Heritage, are kept and that's why most of us can still recognize Toronto from this video.
