[Shoknifeman]

Now, if only someone could download the long version of this video; my life would be complete!

[Shoknifeman]

Ah, happy times (I was in Kindergarten), a country that seemed to be getting better and more prosperous everyday; I still love Canada, but, something is deffinately missing now, compared to that time.

[Shoknifeman]

memories of my childhood!!!

[intrepidlady]

And please remember . . . this song was written by Dolores Clayman, the same woman who wrote the "Hockey Night In Canada" theme.

Go, Dolores !!

[PizzaDinosaur]

Kid at 0:54 has a clone of some Bubba Kush, that's why he's so excited

[vexacon]

I remember this song every morning when the CBC started it's day of programming!

[Railrodder]

I still have a copy of the original single still in the sleeve! Its 2: 48 long. On the sleeve is a picture of the Ontario pavilion at Expo 67. I was eight years old then!

[BioWolff]

This was stunning at full length, multi media version at the Ontario Pavilion. A time of unlimited optimism.

[calvintoronto]

This film is actually a breakthrough in filming, in was the first effort to use multiple panes in one screen. It won the Academy Award for Best Short in 1967. You can see the effects today in shows like "24." The song was written by the same woman who wrote the Hockey Night in Canada Theme Song.

WTG Ontario!!

[Shoknifeman]

@calvintoronto You're quite correct, of course, that doesnt stop Hollywood from trying to take all the credit for such innovations 9_9

[hanksr]

This is one of the reasons that God created UTUBE. I love watching this old stuff.

[Expl0rati0n]

God didn't make youtube.

Stop thanking for things he didn't do!

[jeromebamley]

If this video had of been produced today, you can be certain that the child at the end of the video would have been an ethnic minority.

It's a shame that Ontario and Canada have become so politically correct. When I see TV ads praising Ontario's ethnic diversity, I cringe.

White supremecist piece of shit. Most of North American people are descended from immigrants.

[Beelzubub13]

@Firion345 And all the white people are descended from...? Immigrants.

[Shoknifeman]

@Firion345 How is this supremecist?

[applemixjojoba]

I think it's great to hear it again - but maybe because back in 67 I lived in Quebec so the only time i Heard it was at the Ontario pavilion.

[SamECircle]

Do you know where to find the full 18-minute version?

[CanadaguyRudey]

I have ben wondering that also.

[pipey61]

Dear God, NO, not THIS, not again! It was bad enough hearing it ENDLESSLY in 1967, but here, now, on YouTube! I think I'm having a seizure!

[iamnotatourist]

good, lord they made us sing this in elementary school, i am cringing right now, why couldn't they make it something beautiful?

[loginregional]

and, don't forget, the original 18-minute film won an Oscar for best short film. Ontari-ari-ario!

[borulceq]

[aquilo84]
