The banter between the people at 24 Sussex Drive and Rideau Hall is so charming.

19:10. As Red Skelton used to say "I wouldn't touch the next line with a ten foot pole."

This film was produced and released in 1957, not 1995.

[@Eons000]

Nope Only for specific ceremonies (New Governor General, queen's death, Chatles III, etc.)

50's in Canada seem to be so interesting. No shame from colonial past and proud of Western institutions.

[@buurmedia]

Residential schools happening as this was filmed on a massive scale...

@@buurmedia 👍 Sharp answer. Deep reminder

Anyone ever questioned how they built the train station which has Greco Roman columns, yet the first power tool was only invented in 1895!? Or how they built what is now called The Royal Canadian Mint, which is a Castle by the way. Who built that? And if we are advancing, and we're not, but they say we are so how come in the early 1900s are we building shacks for homes using wood planks and building barns made out of wood? Man goes from building massive ornate buildings made with marble or millions of brick to then start building wooden shacks. Something smells off. We don't even "see" those old world buildings which are right in our face. Founded really means "found it". They found those buildings! Most of those old world structures are now used as government buildings too. And many of the old world buildings have huge doorways. They tear those old world buildings down so that we don't have a clue about this world or where we live, etc. Destroy the history. Nobody "evolves" backwards. You don't build impressive "cathedrals" with spires with old world technology on the roofs with super ornate details and graduate from that to building shacks! Anyway, I was born in Ottawa in 1971. Fascinating to see how it once looked. Can't say it didn't pull at my heartstrings because it did. Thank you for this video.

66.651 ,odd number.

[@bs48267]

What year is this produced? Surely cant be 1995

[@AlexR2648]

1959 maybe

[@AlexR2648]

It must have been before 1966 because that's when the Mounties ended equestrian training for all recruits.
