I love Canadaaa

When I was a kid, and until recently, I always thought the last shot at the end showed a gigantic inukshuk. I didn't realize it was just forced perspective.

I'm glad I finally know what Fraser (VGA) was referencing, but because of the context I can't take it seriously.

Yeah, me too. I loved these bits when I was a kid! Y'know those sayings about being a late 80's/early 90's kid with respect to Saturday morning cartoons (eg Pinky and the Brain)? I guess they could reference this one for the Canadian ones lol. Like someone could come up to me and say, 'now the people will know we were here," and I would have instantly gotten it; same with all my friends.

that is called "throat singing". It is a traditional Inuit song style. search for it on YouTube.

[Roy Kloholtz]

Those noises at the end are creepy

[lowaces]

where i live the mayor and city council would rip it down and call it an improvment

no heritage no history only egos

[Roselynn Akulukjuk]

beatboxing is something else...throat singing us the right word

[scientolofag]

2000 years from now when some archaeologist will find these stacked rocks and say "aliens"

[scientolofag]

throat songs still exist today but their more commonly known as "beatboxing"

There is something really amazing about these spots. The interesting bits of random history, mentioning little things at the same time as talking about major historical events everyone knows like WWII, the pride shown in many of them, or maybe just the fact that they have become such a huge part of Canadian culture.

that is awesome. I thought that too, i always wondered how they built a giant one.
