I cant believe I’ve found such a great youtube channel that aligns perfectly with my niche interests about the city I love so dearly. Thank you so much!

Great stuff I like your videos, we need our history told, so many stories here in Toronto and barely have we scratched the surface! Hope to see more of your work!

not only will I like and leave an algo-deity comment, I will also share this one. ps: the Grand in the dot may have been torn down, but there are a number of Grand Theatres that survive in other towns. I worked at the one in London Ont (Londont) in my youth.

I watched a video about Ontario Place and its closure, then one of your videos popped up. I've now watched 5 of your videos! 😂

Dundas Street is on the ORIGINAL rout of the ORIGINAL path of the original Dundas Highway. In other word...the highway to Dundas city near Hamilton.

And if I'm not mistaken the first Queen's Plate race was held at a track near High Park and Annette.

It's depressing how most of North America doesn't try to preserve such buildings or etc...

Eventually all the streets will be renamed to remove/replace/rewrite the British history of Toronto.

I love the drama, tradition and innovation of British history and there’re plenty of city features left to tell that story and expand on the truth of it. I personally would love to no longer be walking down streets named for people who thought it was my rightful place to be owned and inherited like property. Certainly not in a city that claims diversity is its strength.

@@goldenretriever6261 …I was born here. And my parents immigrated here from England. They grew up in London as part of the windrush generation - as I said, I love English history but pretending it’s not fraught with terrible choices and ways of thinking is cowardice. Slavery was a practice in Canada that people like Peter Russel and the Jarvis’s participated in and actively defended. Read a book - presumably you know how. And since you’re being petty, you should be claiming that this is not the United States, given that Mississippi is not a nation.

Slavery was eboiished in British colonies before Canada became a country. It's time to move on.
