The visit to the Canadian Pavilion at Expo 67 highlights Canada's natural resources and advances in technology and science. Directed by Marc Beaudet - 1967
I am so proud and I was so lucky to have attended Expo 67 on Sept 29th and Oct 13th 1967. I even still remember the dates. For a 12 year old boy, what I saw, what I experienced changed my life, it was that incredible !! It taught me to dream and that anything is possible. Seeing all the world in one place spread out before our eyes. The sights, the sounds, the people. Each pavilion was a architectural masterpiece and told a story. What a special time for Canada and all Canadians. I treasure that time and think of it often. It has never been beaten and no worlds fair has come close.
This was used in Battleship Galactica 1978 - Welcome to Earth Season 1 Episode 17. They had to have an abandoned modern city scene so they used the abandoned expo setting
Although it happened 3 years before I was born, I have always had a great fascination with Expo 67. It must have been a sight to see! I imagine that very little of it still exists today.
@@nicolasforestell3563 Great to hear that! If I ever get up there I will have to check it out and experience it in person! Many Blessings and thanks again for the info!
Quelle époque que furent les années 60 au Québec, en plein dans sa révolution tranquille et Montréal qui reçoit le monde, grâce à Expo 67 ! Que reste-t-il de cet événement prestigieux, où tout était parfait, selon le slogan nationaliste du temps : Québec sait faire ! Eh oui, le Québec a su faire, grâce à ses forces vives. Qu'en est-il aujourd'hui ?
I turned 13 the summer of Expo. Though I lived in Toronto, I visited three times. Still among my life’s most formative experiences. But jarring to hear about the “exploitation of natural resources” as a positive thing.
Looked absolutely amazing... I think here in Australia, Brisbane had the world expo about 15 years later.. I don’t think it compared anywhere near to the impressive structures and pavilions of Montreal in 67...
I doubt this refers to homosexuals. The term "Gay" came later, this is still the traditional meaning of the word, i.e. "Happy, flamboyant" etc. as in the hymn "Don we now our gay apparel". We hear this again in the video clip at 12:18. an obvious reference to the traditional meaning.
Absolutely amazing you'd think that had anything to do with militant gay rights...and that it would be mentioned in a documentary from 1967! At 12:18 it's "gay butterfly birds". Then it went on in to resources "harnessed by Man". Does that word only refer to the male gender of homo sapiens?

A return in time as I was 15 when I was there. Thank you so much! It refreshed my memories....I have suggested to watch it on my facebook page.

Pretty sure buckrogers used the british pravallen as Chicago
Expo 67 was the Birthplace of IMAX
The best expo yet

Mitch Salawine I’ve been there, a few pavilions are still standing most notably the American one which is now a museum.

Wish I alive back then and Canada was an innovative and respected country in the world...

The guy playing the guitar at 17:22 is Gordon Lightfoot.
a legendary Canadian singer
I was wondering … thanks!
The pavilion came 8th in popularity.
Not bad...!

jarring or sensible?
Indeed. Today we are taught that self abasement is a positive thing.
''The victory of men over nature.''
first time with mankinds exploits? /sigh give it a rest
Jarring that you think that… And that’s exactly the reason we’re dying

it was a wonderful fair. the inverted pyramid so cool. I believe Joni Mitchell performed.
I was there I was 8 years old.
Alvvays - dreams tonite, bring me here
It's too bad Man and his World went up in smoke.
Can you elaborate on what you mean? Sounds interesting.
Today, it would be called “Persons and Their World”.
unexhaustible forest???
yeah wake up, climate bs is marxism
Forests recover even after volcanic eruptions. See Mt St Helens.
We can't cut it down fast enough. It keeps coming back.
Back then everything was just one big nightmare acid trip. And then it got worse.
It's all in your mind.
Only for "hippies" and in 67 those were still an oddity.
Made in Quebec by quebecers but of corse everyone know this ...
a gay canadian painting... a year before Stonewall

best propaganda video since the residential school one
What a waste.
It was the USA pavilion (geodesic dome) that was consumed in flame.
It is now a biosphere.
