Come to Toronto

[MoiChannelify]

That is amazing video/ audio!

[towerofrebel]

I think it would benefit you to get a VZCINERIG, basically a thing you strap around your body that lets you attach the camera and record without any unecessary motion.

I could tell the story the images were telling, and I really enjoyed middle portion where it was side view transition as well.

[tweety9102]

WHY CAN'T YOU LIVE WHERE I LIVE?! D; 

[brightneonstripes]

i am actually jealous of how amazing you are. you kind of remind me of myself, but like 20x more amazing.

[BrownSugarSweetheart]

whoa, so trippy seeing my neighborhood in a youtube vid haha! your vids are pretty cool :) kudos for calling us girls out on slut shaming

[shraka]

That's actually some pretty good music. Can I download the track somewhere? Visuals are nice too.

[illdoc1]

YOU ARE GREAT.

[pinkhotarurose]

i typed in "altair" and got a ton of assassins creed stuff :p

[AnacondaMiningCo]

I miss Vancouver :(

[eddddyyyy]

WOOT VANCOUVER FTW

[wolfhowl91]

Is this Vancouver?

[crayolaababy]

@wolfhowl91 yaa<3 it's beautiful isn't it? :)

[xianiumn]

VANCOUVER!!!!!!

[viciousandchaotic]

is there anywhere to download the song?

[ItsMeAlexaB]

how did she make the music?!

[newskynet84]

Really good combination audio-video... Great job! Bye from Italy

[kategriff12]

Being seriously impressed by the young lady in the video, I headed over to her YouTube account to check out her other videos, and was immediately smacked in the eye by images of this beautiful city in which I live, and which I love. Turns out her most recent video is a kind of tour of and tribute to this fine city. I knew exactly where she was in every single shot; I have walked down these streets more times than I can count. I can think of no finer way to show you guys my crazy Canadian world.

[kategriff12]

Yesterday when perusing the Pigtail Pals - Redefine Girly wall, I saw a post by Rachel Simmons, author of 'The Curse Of The Good Girl', a book which I enjoyed very much and learned a lot from, so I added her official page to my interests. Today, she posted an AMAZING video about the evils of slut-shaming by a thirteen-year-old girl. (more follows...)

[kategriff12]

Hi there! New to your Tube. Thought you might like to see what I commented when I reposted this video to my Facebook for the benefit of all my friends and family back home in England. (I'm living in Vancouver for a year on a working holiday visa, and loving it.) Will post it as a separate comment since brevity is not my friend.

[turtlefan9111]

0:46 FIAT. best car ever. and anyway, you are like the most insightful, intellectual 13/14 year old I have ever heard. Seriously. Why can't everyone I'm surrounded by be like youuu

[UsoppFangirl]

WHOA, SPARKLY BALL AT 2:28. Hee hee.

[Gmmaverick]

I saw most of your videos .Smartest 13yo I ever heard. Your ability to process info. is very good. I appreciate and value that, above all. So you have my respect. I wish I could find a grown up girl, half that smart.

I saw one of your questions was, why are you suddenly getting lots of views. I think it may be because one of your videos are on the main -international page- of YT.

Anyhow,congrats! And best wishes to you!

[MsGeek703]

Beautiful. And you're only 13? When you grow up you are going to just kick ass all over the place. Keep creating and don't let anyone dissuade you from it.

[LaurenPoly12]

It's funny that as soon as people discover that a person is excelling intellectually, they immediately destine them for president, or in your case, prime minister or premier. Becoming a politician seems like a good way to spend a lot of time trying to convince people to like you. :) I like your videos...you remind me so much of one of my good friends when I was your age. Greetings from Montreal. :)

[remedywithin]

Fuck... Your good also your sister. Damn good editing... Loved it!

[MelissaxoFuller]

This reminds me of Mitchel Davis videos. Like his art ones.

[SherwinGooch]

So, Astro, are you like named after the dog in "The Jetsons?"

[GhosstReconn]

@SherwinGooch no she is not

[SherwinGooch]

I love driving vids. This place kind of reminds me of Vancouver.

[crayolaababy]

@SherwinGooch it is vancouver LOL

[Mike300125]

Woohoo, Canada! Subbed. (Not just because you're Canadian :P)

[pch0mey]

What song is this?

[napalmnacey]

Awesome music! Your sister is talented! <3

[KnaakBakerofPastries]

By the way. It does sound way better on Sennheiser 280s than MacBook speakers.

[KnaakBakerofPastries]

Dude! This is so legit! With full knowledge that all my compliments will likely fall into an abyss of other compliments, I still think I should say how excited I am that there exist young people with brains, confidence, depth, and PERSONALITIES. Holy shit on toast. Anywho. I'm rambling. Good job, and your sister's recording is SUPER boss. Go Canada.

[DontxBringxPajamas]

Love it

[Refflection]

Hey there, I just want to shout out and say that you have an inherent ability for creating meaningful media, so please keep going with what you're doing. I'm a filmmaker in San Francisco always on the lookout for other kindred spirits, and I see that in you. Great cinematography, great editing and composition. And you're smart. Can't wait to see your first film, I know it will kick ass. Peace.

[shamalakable]

Is this shot in downtown Vancouver? If so, way to rep the west coast! I'm on the island!

[PavelPeev91]

You are one of us, but not one of them, does it make any sense to you ? You are Great btw ! :)

[tonelar415]

Great editing. Ur gonna go pro in a few years aren't you?

[umHIitsLeahV]

young one...you're very insightful. cant even imagine what kind of woman youer gonna grow into. wanna run for president?

[astrorice]

@umHIitsLeahV but politicians are the worst. also, i'm canadian, so i'd be stuck running against harper, and i HATE that guy.

[Loracman]

@astrorice At this point, you'd probably do a better job than him.

[improllyright]

@astrorice Better to be running against harper than the country to be run BY harper. They're still looking for someone to replace Jack Layton, go go go!

[GhosstReconn]

@improllyright no don't be cool to her jk

[TheRevRockstar]

@astrorice Once someone asked my government professor if he'd considered running for office he said "NO! Politicians are slimy! I suppose... if I became slimy I might..."

[rcmtimes3]

Your arguments are well reasoned and eloquently presented. I don't know about Canada, but in the U.S. we view reasonable arguments with suspicion. You wouldn't get many votes down here.

[Maxdwolf]

@astrorice He might well be dead by then. And the fact that you hate him is a reason FOR running against him. :p

What the hell is Canada doing with a Hotel Georgia? Who do they think they're fooling?

[astrorice]

@Maxdwolf just because i know a little about equal rights does not make me a suitable candidate for prime minister.

go google "hotel georgia" and lemme know where the hotel on every first page result is located, man.

[Maxdwolf]

@astrorice Well, I'd presume you'd have learned a bit more by the time you are legally eligible. In any case, I'm not pushing to you prepare for a run. Just saying that hating Harper is not a valid argument against.

Re Georgia: I stand corrected. Allow me to revise my statement: "What the hell is Vancouver doing with a Georgia street? Who do they think they're fooling?" :)

[astrorice]

@Maxdwolf i think i'd prefer to go into the film or theatre industry. if i was a politician i'd just hate all of my coworkers and i would not be a happy camper and WHY WOULD YOU PURPOSELY GET A JOB THAT MAKES YOU UNHAPPY.

but if you google georgia street the first thing that shows up is the wikipedia article about georgia street in vancity. what are you implying, anyway? that georgia street is copying the US state? ahaha

[Maxdwolf]

@astrorice Why? To pay the rent. Having a job you don't like is often the only option for many. Someone's got to take out the trash.

re GA st. Of course. Everyone does. The UK named a few kings in its honor in advance ant there's even a nation in the Caucuses that did so. :D

[coreyleavitt36]

@Maxdwolf you have it backwards. the state was named for the british king. the country of georgia on the other hand actually has no direct relation in its namesake.

[Maxdwolf]

*facepalm* @coreyleavitt36 Please look up the word "sarcasm". Also, please note the emoticon.

[GhosstReconn]

@umHIitsLeahV no she does not

[ahtnamaas]

Where can I find more of this beautiful music?

[kentuckyfriedliam]

casual drive around Vancouver eh?

[burnettsteven]

bleep bleep, bloop bloop.. i dig the music. i hate ketchup chips.

[astrorice]

@burnettsteven i concur

[countbluescreen]

Great music, great editing... Thanks!

[Purenain]

Pedo Van: 0:24

Also Y U CRITICIZE CANADIAN SEX EDUCATION? IT'S AWESOME!

[astrorice]

@Purenain clearly you don't know about a little thing called heteronormativity, friend.

[improllyright]

@astrorice So you want there to be more info on lgbt?

[rcmtimes3]

@astrorice It's all relative. In the U.S., sex education is abstinence only in a lot of places.

[ChloeBellatrixx]

@rcmtimes3 YUUP.
