This channel is mostly home video of my travels, my friends & family and lgbt+ events. There's a lot from back in the 1980s and '90s of Toronto and more specifically the east end neighbourhood where I lived. I'm putting my old footage on UA-cam as a 'permanent' record. (I figure it'll be around for a while!) and to share glimpses of my life in bygone days with others .

Tank salot for sharing them memories there isn't enuff of our earlier Toronto airshow shows. The Concorde and Vulcan you captured capture. Thankz again😊
Worlds going to shit
Compare this to the real Toronto in 2006 lmao
Didn’t the terminal used to have a Rail Spur taking in boxcars?
I found myself in the parade :)
lovely! thanks for sharing!
If we are all equle why are my people in space and others starve?
Shitty cultures from unsuccessful countries allowed into canada by greedy libreals and the ones who have been trickd ruind a clean, safe, successful city and country
When I lived in Toronto (The 1970s) the Brass Rail was a hard rock bar called The Yonge Station.
Crack wasn't even a street term at the time.
Before mass immigration ruined it. Toronto is no longer a Canadian city
I was a year old at the time.
Was born on this day
me too! glad to share the same birthday dude, hope life is well
They are related.(Tape 22) February 1, 1992 To April 19, 1992)The Williams Frenette Family Videos UA-cam channel.
Honestly it’s worst now
I believe the band Always played at the Peterborough Memorial Centre. Molly the lead singer from the indie band Always is my avatar.It's my consciousness.When they are in Toronto It's the real me performing.I played the Budweiser Stage in August 2023.Someone posted the new song"Belinda Says"on UA-cam.I'm wearing the number 68 on my jersey.The cbc music at echo beach from 2016 is the real me too.That's on UA-cam too. The whole Rankin family are avatars. Always song"Archie Marry Me"was played on The Edge radio. The star beings have to tell the truth if asked.
Remember two dudes down in the restaurant alcove below on east side of younger street just south-facing Wellesley st playing Neil Young songs?
Just subbed. Thumbs up 👍
Why can’t I live in this country anymore. Now Toronto belongs to India
I remember this day vividly, I woke up in Burlington at my grandma’s apartment in Burlington where I was visiting her and my aunt for Easter and later that day I rode the GO bus and train east to Toronto Union Station where my mom met me on the Yonge subway to Finch station, then on the 42 Cummer bus back to our house on Hines Dr near McNicoll Av and Don Mills Rd. Odd that I have that particular day so ingrained in my memory but I do haha.
Good stuff. Toronto is a shadow of its former glory from the 80s and 90s.
I was on that street in 1974 . i went to a party nearby in a large house made of wood. The owner was a lecturer at York University and it had a lovely garden to the rear.He worked in the Dance department and it was a very enjoyable party. Non of those tall new buildings were there
I love this! It's quite mesmerizing for being a mundane urban streetscape. The colours, the lights, the textures, and reflections are truly captivating. Excellent choice using Zabriskie for the score, reminds me of Andrew Zealley's 1994 album 'This Is True To Me', it really fits with the cinematic feel you created with the slo-mo. Nice segmented/strobe-like capture of your car's reflection on the black metal fence in front of Church St. Jr Public School. In front of the Freshii restaurant at the Wellesley traffic lights did you pause then resume recording at the 04:45 mark and 05:00 mark? It generated a nice ghostly effect with some of those folks disappearing & appearing. I see in those reflections you appear to be using your new DJI Osmo, is it the Pocket 3 or 2?
Thanks for your thoughtful comment! Yes, I was pleasently surprised at the result of just driving with the camera aimed out the car window. tbh the mucic came from the UA-cam music library and seemed to fit the mood of the clip as well as the duration. I had to stop at a red light at Wellesley so I cut out the 'dead air'. I got the original 2018 'Osmo pocket', the one that came out before the 2 or 3.
You are back! One of the true pioneers of video blogging! Ah yes good old College Park, great area!
The star beings are making him do these videos.The Feline star beings are here for judgement.That's why all the Mason Centers closed down.

Ouch!Howie My Howie UA-cam shorts link: ua-cam.com/video/NB1-ndahF-g/v-deo.htmlsi=eYKfI22ZLz6loG0M Everyone here is going to face judgement for the unjust injustices done to an innocent female at all the Mason Centers.Including all the star beings who were running them. The vaccine cards are coming to the U.S and to Canada soon.They are starting in Europe September 2024.
Shitty shit
Now it looks like India...
This was the day Reagan was sworn in.
Oh man, I miss Toronto so much! Thank you for these videos, they make me feel like I’m home again for a few minutes.
Glad you’re still using an official camera for your videos! Hope you’re well Brian.👍😃👏
ну наконец-то современное что-то...) привет с Байкала...👋
Yonge street has lost the sleaziness that made it so interesting back in the 70s and 80s. your camara works well. keep it up.
House of Lords is gone! That part of Yonge Street has lost lots of it's old character. I love your new camera!
Friday the 13th!
Hello my old friend.
All white people such a beautiful rare thing
Concorde .. Classic
That weather was cold.
Wow man on my birthday in my city
Anymore videos of windsor Ontario ?
I remember seeing that. Good footage, seeing a station wagon brings back memories. I wish i had flown on the concorde. too late now.
OMG I was there working the Ex that summer - you don't have any footage from inside the Ex do you ? I was working in the hamburger stand beside the cotton candy stand where they played " The Candy Man " song on a tape loop from morning till night lol
Sorry, no CNE footage until my 1990 video! Your Candy Man story is funny! 'Now you talk about your childhood wishes, you could even eat the dishes!!' lol
lol
I was there, on the waterfront at Ontario Place, SR71 too if I remember. As the Concorde flew by at almost stall speed it would kick up water about 8 seconds after it passed. Massive jetwash
Yes the 89 Toronto Airshow best I've seen to this day nones beaten it since. Concorde 2nd last plane. The SR-71 ended with a bang and was retired after. If u can get a hand on that show let me knoe lol😅
What were the yellow packaged Reeses?
Crunchy peanut butter if I remember correctly.
@@gonesnake2337 I somewhat remember that lol
This is a cool piece of history. One thing I really liked from 7-11 stores back then was these very tasty chicken wings. Cheers! ✌️🇨🇦
Curious to know if you have Home Movie Footage of a Wheels Inn Chatham Visit?
That is the year i was born.
hey, i live in ontario, i hope you enjoyed your holiday!
The next day, a federal election was held. The first of too many where the 416 went wall to wall Liberal!
i left in 1985 thx god i got out life is awesome
All these comments people are making. I thought you're not suppose to speak ill of the dead.
