Hi Pat, Glad you enjoyed the video! You can search for descriptions of other archival footage in our holdings using the “Advanced Search” option of our online Archives Descriptive Database, accessible at: ao.minisisinc.com/scripts/mwimain.dll?get&file=[ARCHON]search.htm. Here you can search for Files and Items or Groups of Archival records using keywords and refine your search to footage by selecting Moving Images under Choose format. When searching the database, you will want to think about who created or accumulated the footage and how the footage might be described. You will also want to consider when the footage might have been taken and for what purpose. One collection you may wish to consider looing further into is the F 4396-1 CFPL-TV daily news program films and scripts, which features footage from the London based television news program CFPL-TV from 1953-1974.

Going from Toronto to see Niagara Falls my parents would take the old route over the lift bridge to save the dime.

@@StarGehzer and see the fairgrounds and bowling alley on beach blvd

I remember the toll as well. I believe it was late 1974 when they removed it and also removed the roundabout to the east that was the interchange with Centennial Parkway (Highway 20). Trucks often rolled over at the roundabout (I know, a roundabout on the QEW?!)

Going to Niagara? I would just take the QEW.

The Burlington Skyway makes people see the great views of Lake Ontario and the skylines of Hamilton and Burlington. Toronto is just 40 kilometers away from the skyway and you can't see the Toronto skyline until you nearly reach the Toronto bound end of QEW.

That’s because Trudeau senior sold our debt to the privately owned foreign entity called “The Bank of Canada”. He sold us out to the banks. We can even cover the interest let alone pay down the principal. I am a slave, you are a slave, your kids will be even bigger slaves and your grandkids will have it even worse.

@@ChuckBeefOG , @Andre Veers - I am glad there are some smart people left in this country!

Chuck Beef Way worse NOW with junior‼️

Can o' duhhhhh coupled to its Ton o' rot .. eh

It looks completely different. What are you on?

Lol same shit wit the roads south of the border from you as well lol

They need to use that road maintance money so the rich elite politicians can live in extra large mansions instead of fixing the roads.😂

Actually, it's 18 lanes in some areas.

Those things will be around forever

Same here, that's pretty amazing

First in North America, but it was modeled after the German autobahn, so not first in the world.

@@stephenp448 Ah. But is the autobahn really a super-highway? I mean, from what I know, the Autobahn and the Interstate highways in the U.S. are similar, both of which pre-date the QEW - but that's not what the claim is here though. It seems there is a clear distinction between a 'super-highway' and the Autobahn/Interstate-style highways.

@@scsi_joe If you define a super-highway as multi-lane, controlled access and grade separated, then yes, the Autobahns do count, and they were first. The US Interstate system was initiated by Eisenhower in the 1950s, and I believe also inspired by Autobahns, from Eisenhower's time in Europe during the war.

The 400-series highways of Ontario were concepted since the late '30s, but they weren't constructed until WW2 ends.

plenty

It was an interchange between the QEW and the North and South Service Roads in Oakville. It was between Burloak Drive and Bronte Road (which can be seen in the background). The ramps were closed in stages starting in (I think) the 90s and the rest was removed by 2009.

Germany I thought

No. It's just Canadian propaganda. The New York City area had the first divided highways. The Bronx river parkway opened in 1907, The Southern state parkway on long island was opened in 1927, and the grand central parkway was opened in 1936. Ontario didn't experiment with divided highways until 1917, and the QEW didn't open til 1940. Canada is still admirable in it's quality of highways, but I guess if you don't have as many to maintain, the few you have get better care. The US went for quantity over quality.

@@peterbelanger4094 It was the first super-highway, he said in the video.

427 today....we used to take 27 north into Barrie on the way north to the cottage
