I feel bad for kids today who can't come home after school and see this and Heritage Moments on TV.

Seriously? This gets posted on YouTube and all you lot can do is badger each other about industry, the environment and the value of real work? Sheesh. I sentence you all to an hour time-out, to be spent watching "The Beachcombers".

@lisadanielle71 I think he meant to say "There was only French Canadians who lost on the Plains of Abraham" but it got lost in translation somehow.

[severedtesticles]

@Badgerinthenight Yeah, try saying that to your plumber or mechanic next time you have a problem. Blue collar work *is* real work. People who work behind desks sitting on their fat asses all day have the nerve to call what they do "work"? LMFAO

Is it really work when you don't even break a sweat all day while you check out Youtube videos and your Facebook page all on company time?

I have far more respect for the log drivers than I do for any desk jockey or cubicle slave.

Oh this brings back nice memories of when I was a Kid! They don't make nice things like this anymore!

[cddrothecker]

Yes I was born in 1971 and watching tv as a kid I saw this many times cause you really had only two stations to watch. There would be two or three of these vignettes that played to conclude CBC's tv programming for the night and then that steady tone with those colored bars would mark off air til 6am. Good ole awesome CBC

I also have an erection, and I'm a grandmother.

[ferociousgumby]

Does anyone know who sings/performs this? Her voice sounds vaguely familiar.

Should be a double-bill with Hinterland Who's Who!

Granted if the whole world lived as our first-world nations do, yes, we would be frigged. Our consumption patterns have to stop. We have to count our blessings, and spread the wealth, because as long as we have over $2200 (which takes into account exchange rates and purchasing power parity) a year, we should be grateful as we have more than most people in the world!

@Badgerinthenight

Really? 50% of the world live with less than $2200 a year. Their food and shelter are inadequate compared to ours. Even the lowest decile of earners in the U.S. has greater income than 2/3rds the world. No one has to be culled as much as help each other out. Read up on income inequality on the encylopedia, and ways to solve the problem through supportive infrastructure development (see my newest posted Youtube video for a success story on that).
