I remeber the water shows at the Ex. I was 11 yrs old in 65. The shows carried on into the 70s

Ah.... the good old days before Canada became a colony of India.

Remember the two guys playing acoustic guitars Neil young songs in that lower entrance to a store? North of college east side

so cool to see Le Coq d'Or

Wow...lots of memories of Younge Street. I lived near there going to college from 71-74 and loved walking up and down both sides of the street hundreds of times for something to do. I loved going into the Brown Derby and Friars Tavern when I had a few bucks to spend. Sam the Record Man was a great place to spend hours just looking trough the thousands of LP's.

priceless footage - thanks for posting.

Home! ❤

I have a property quite close to Point Petre, we were out on the ATV one day an my husband proclaimed "wow , that is the biggest raccoon I've ever seen" we carried on and returned 30-45 minutes later. I got off the ATV and saw something staring at me in an opening of the woods on our property. To this day, I have never seen anything like it and still not sure what was staring at me. It looked like it had the head of a raccoon (same ears and mask marking) but tall and leggy like a coyote. We studied each other for a couple minutes and it slowly sauntered off into the woods, never to be seen or heard from again. The closest thing I have found on the internet is a Raccoon Dog out of Asia, but this was taller. I will never know what I actually saw that day. There is a weird energy in the area, and often low droning frequencies can be heard in the quiet.

A really great video.

What a great base. My dad was a C-47, C-119, 707, and mostly a Herc pilot. I sure miss flying on the Hercs, nothing else like them, lots of good memories. Thanks for the effort put into this film.

Wonderful voice, enjoyed your song. 😊 keep on writing and hope to see a CD soon.😊

I was often in the store in the early 60's, having walked over from the Gilbert, to check out the comic books.

Shes the best

RCAF station Rockcliffe air show.

I never saw 6218 but I did see 6060 At Beaverton on the bala sub

Hi is this actual footage of the train going over the consecon area? 43:00

Berliner invented,...ready? The microphone, the Gramophone, the flat disc record, the process of pressing, mastering and mothering the disc record, improving Bell's telephone and sound recording in general and much more. I used to work for his grandson, Oliver, a very smart guy in his own right.

Remember as a kid staying over night in the transit accommodation when we came from Germany on a Yukon. Think it was when dad was posted back to Canada. It was still cold so the heat was on in the building. After being in Europe for years the dry furnace heat felt stifling.

What is this sharpner and where can I get one

my dear friend walk from Hamilton to Toronto to see them RIP my sweet friend and F cancer😔

Thanks for posting this great piece. I love history.

LOL I'm sorry, but I've been watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia".... So... He took Minister of Defense out on the boat to discuss building the base, and he couldn't say no, you know, because of the implication...

Of valuable heritage and historical value. Thank you for your services everyone and God Bless!

Yes, well done! The flow, the narration, the music are perfect. Thanks for showing us the future through our history.

Well done Sean, another great video of this great town we call home. The gates donated in 1949? I was lead to believe they were donated in 1953. I am sure your research is better than mine.

This is a great historical! I grew up as a child in the 60's on Dixon Drive that ran right into the base. I loved watching all different types of aircraft flying overhead nearly every minute of the day!! Thanks for posting this!

Emile's grandson Oliver is still alive, he's in his 90s.

Parts of this sure look like Bill Nolan, but the staging and timing are Amateur Night at the Zoo.

Some where in that crowd was my Grandmother and me, she as a widow of a hero of the first war and me as her escort.

Walshearts valve gear the best

Yes it's spadina

My grandfather. God I miss him.

Very cool my father was part of the Trenton pipes and drums during those years, Angus Cameron. 😊🇨🇦

It's great seeing these memories. I lived on Dixon Drive in the early 60's very close to CFB Trenton and loved watching all the various aircraft flying in and out of the base.

Thanks, Sean

That he died at age 78 is wild. Good thing "LPs" weren't a "thing" he'd have died at 33.3333333333! 😜

I have always thought the word "phonograph" should refer to the RECORDS, not the recorder or reproducer. After all a "record" made by a camera is a "photograph". In this context any audio recording in any format should be a "phonograph". But I'm weird when it comes to words, LOL! I did somehow manage to raise an English teacher.

Promo-SM ✋

Why such hate for Edison? Congrats, you've joined the sheep. Edison himself had thought of the disc record even before Berliner. Should we say the the disc record was merely "credited" to Berliner? No! Because Berliner made it PRACTICAL. Edison believed there were too many flaws in the idea for it to be used, and he was wrong, because he was a man. Edison was not merely "credited" with the invention of the phonograph, he did invent it. Martinville did invent the phonautograph. It was made to simply see sound waves, not play them back. And it's not impossible that Edison knew of this and thought perhaps Martinville missed something. And what's wrong with that? Genuinely what? Because Martinville never intended for the phonautograph to reproduce sound. If Edison had not picked up where Martinville left off, we wouldn't have the ability to play back recorded sound. Stop hating Edison. He was a man with many limitations, but without him our modern world would not be what it is technology wise.

Ask any oldtime Canadian railway man what the remember about steam and they will say "40 below zero and keeping them running."

I would love to see her back on the rails but.i dought it.

Thanks for this Sean - one of the cheese houses he managed is said to have been on our property, so our family has always been interested in the stories.

It's amazing how far "motion pictures" have evolved over the years!!

Hey, you know... I *really* do like this... and having turned the sound *off* brought back more of a "vintage-ness" to this footage .

Nice video sean! My favorite is the one on the trenton miracle!

Water must have been very clean, also no zebra mussels.

Love your videos! Thank you for this information about our town! The quality of these videos are amazing! You should work for a museum! I was also wondering where you get the historical information?

Great memories of Railfair in Ottawa. TTC PCC fans can skip to the last minute of the video and see various shots of cars going around the complex Queen/King and Roncesvalles intersection. And a closing video of PCC interior
