    6 or so properties north west of the Gould's cottage was my family's cottage . Fountains beach Uptergrove on Lake Simcoe back in the mid fifties I fell in love with Glenn's dog Banquot. A beautiful collie that i played with as a child while wandering up and down the beach. i got permission from Glenn to play with his dog so long as I returned it at the end of the day. This lasted for a few summers until i got my own dog in 1959. So i can say my first dog friend was Glenn Gould's dog. I knew that Glenn was a famous pianist but that didn't seem to effect our good neighbour relationship. As Glenn's career grew so did my love for Bach's music. I think Glenn Gould's greatest achievement was bringing Bach's music to the 20th century. he magically brought Bach's Goldberg Variations to the New York hit parade in the early 50's. when i heard that Glenn died from a stroke at the young age of 50 i was devastated.

    I have been a GG fan for years, and didn't know some of this info. However, you got two things wrong: 1) The Foss family were not at the time in LA, but in nearby Buffalo when the affair took place, and 2) not all conservative towns are "boring" and "backward."

    To be honest, Canada was the biggest supplier of children for rich elites sexual gratification. Canada has a horrible past and it was built on children in 19 38,90% of the population was under the age of 20.

  • @laurav4797
    @laurav4797 7 місяців тому

    Children were kept in the residential homes along with the indigenous children. Unlike the indigenous children, these children did not get to go home, did not know who their mother or father was, did not know where their siblings were, and still don’t even know that they have this horrific past over 4 million. Canadians are descendants of these trafficchildren, this country was built by the blood of children

    I knew Glenn Gould from Strafford, Canada where with my father Oscar Shumsky and Leonard Rose directed the festival there. He sometimes would drive us to the Dairy Queen in his old white Lincoln Continental. Glenn was a wonderful man and both my parents were so fond of him. I have great memories of him coming for dinner and remember his superlative playing. Eric Shumsky

    Thank you. There is one detail that should be addressed. Glenn Gould in fact very much disliked anything to do with fishing. In fact, he would take his motor boat and circle around fisherman to scare away the fish. He thought that catching fish was cruel.

    The log tramway was powered by steam. A photograph at the Orillia Public Library (W.S. Frost scrapbooks), shows a wooden building with a tall smoke stack. The steam engine for the tramway was provided by John Gartshore's foundry at Dundas. Gartshore also manufactured the machinery for John Thomson's mill, which was completed in 1868. The portage tramway was completed and opened in April of 1869.

      The Rama Timber Transport Co. was founded by: Henry Williams Sage, an American lumberman with mills at Bell Ewart. Thompson Smith, a Toronto lumberman with mills at Bradford. John Thomson, founder of the Longford Lumber Company. F.W. Cumberland and Clarence Moberly were involved with the Northern Railway of Canada (NRC), which became involved with the project, to protect the interests of the railway. Over the course of a few years beginning around 1865 there was a decline in revenues for the NRC, due to the exhaustion of timber to supply the mills. F.W. Cumberland was managing director of the NRC and Clarence Moberly was the Northern Railway's chief engineer. In 1866 Henry. W. Sage purchased the rights to cut standing timber in Oakley township (Muskoka), on the Black River. Mr. Sage needed the timber to stock his mill at Bell Ewart. It wasn't until the following spring, that Sage realized that the Black River doesn't flow into Lake Couchiching. At first he contemplated building a mill on the Severn River or possibly at Wasdell Falls. In the spring of 1867 H.W. Sage had correspondence with H.L. St. George of Washago, possibly in connection with acquisition of lands in Rama township. Sage also had correspondence with Thompson Smith in June and July of 1867, to attract his interest in the idea of building of a canal to carry the logs to Lake St. John and Lake Couchiching. Thompson Smith must have had timber on the Black River. In one of his letters Sage wrote: without it there will be nothing to do. H.W. Sage later became chairman of Cornell University, he kept transcripts of his outgoing correspondence as well as letters received, now preserved on microfilm at Cornell University Archives, at Ithaca, N.Y. The canal opened in April 1869 and the logs for the Bell Ewart and Bradford mills, were towed from the end of the tramway at Portage Bay. John Thomson had barges constructed and a tramway built to Quarry Bay from his mill. The sawn lumber had to be transported to the NRC railhead at Bell Ewart. In the video John Savage mentions that the lumber was transported to Beaverton or Jacksons Point. The Midland Railway didn't reach Beaverton until 1871 and the Lake Nipissing Junction didn't reach Jacksons Point until 1881. Neither Bell Ewart or Bradford were mentioned. After the Northern Railway extended north of Atherley, John Thomson preferred to ship his lumber on the Midland Railway to Port Hope, likely because it was marketed in the eastern USA and shipped by way of the Oswego canal. John Thomson continued to use the lumber barges he previously used for transport to Bell Ewart, but I always thought he shipped the lumber to Orillia to be loaded onto the rail cars.
