You are all so very welcome. I am actually from Montreal. Toronto was my second home in the early 80s... I made this after learning of the death of a friend from that era, Tracy Wright (she is pictured at the end). I now live in the States, miss that old town dearly.

Murray McLachlan should have been declared a Canadian National Treasure eons ago, keep on keepin' on, Murray!

I just wanted to say that out of all the picture-slideshow-to-music videos on youtube, this is one of the best.

I especially like the shots of the Maple Leafs on the "don't you wanna change from losing" I am a huge leafs fan, and I found it to be a nice touch. They'll change their losing ways one of these days

I love Toronto. First Nations playwright, Tomson Highway said it was a great place--where a someone like him; aboriginal and gay and an artist--could feel not just accepted but included. I love going to Toronto--it is so many cities in one, so many neighborhoods, so many places that, if you live there, you feel a sense of ownership and camraderie. And even though they are just the face of a corporation, I feel a bit sad for the city whenever the Leafs lose. T.O. isn't perfect, but it i love it.

Wow, talk about memories. I did not have to get out of my chair to take a long walk down memory lane. All those places I've been in my little town of Toronto through all these years. Awesome. Thanks for posting.
