Wow Toronto looks so beautiful and peaceful
[sic] looked
Sadly, this Toronto is over.
" a rich city, on the rise, going places" and now its an unaffordable traffic clogged mess
I miss the old Terminal 1 at Pearson
Me too. The last time I was at that terminal was in 2003 or 2004 just before they tore it down.
I miss it a lot nowadays (Covid, maybe? And the new variant ;)
I wish our city was this peaceful today
Didn't you hear? Diversity is our 'strength'! 🙄 🙄
@@UzumakiNaruto_ bruh kids were getting raped on Yonge St in the 1970's. Drugs ruined this city not immigrants
@@UzumakiNaruto_ you meant "downfall" didnt you?
@@solitaire5142 what's wrong with diversity? lol..
@@chocolateisntpooplook up Robert Putnams study, it destroys every aspect of societal health
Eastern Airlines, wow, a blast from the past!
Actually this film is from 1965-66 because it uses the slogan "See how much better an airline can be." The 1970s was the decade Eastern used the slogan "The Wings of Man."
+John Eddy I agree. This was shot in 1966. If you look closely, the TD Centre is still under construction and it opened in 1967.
You're 100% correct. The hairstyles and the clothing are clearly 60's fashions
TD was not built that much in 66
John--->Later in the 1970s,I seem to recall hearing radio ads (on Toronto AM rsadio station CFRB 1010) for Eastern Airlines...where....I would hear a group of male & female singers singing "Going South?Go Eastern Airlines!"
And was it circa 1978 that Eastern Airlines became the official airline for Walt Disney World?
This is most likely, a very well produced ( for the time ), late 1960s ( not 1970s ) ad, probably 1968-ish. ( though, it may have used slightly dated stock footage, which would make it look earlier than it really is ). But it probably isn't the 1970s, which actually makes it even cooler! Upper limit on the date is set by there being no Commerce Court South building, making this definitely pre 1972 - the main tower of the TD Center is shown, so this is definitely post 1967 - however - the BIG clue is - there's definitely no TD Center North! So unless they were using old stock footage - this is pre-1969 folks. And yes, Toronto was quite the city back in those days.
It has more of a mid-late-'60's vibe to it, not quite '70's.
I miss the way Toronto used to look
+rockybudgeboa no immigrants, it was boring
Actually, No Condos
Me too
Ya you and me both.
Yeah I know, Toronto now is a clusterfuck
Back when there was no shootings
Lol. There were! Except, there were no cameras on city blocks/building corners/doorbells or cell phones to record the footage. So you had to rely on the media and wait for the daily news to be informed .. *if* they actually reported it. No instant posts on UA-cam. We just heard about it less back then :)
lol. If you only knew. You may not find it online, but the Toronto gangland killings of the 70s are in a lot of books.
@@RonPerillo And--just to clarify--not all of these gangland killings involved folks in various organized crime groups from Italy?
When strong morals was important....... now people are only concerned about the next high.
Can't be 1970's. I only see the first of the TD towers in this, built in 1967 (the second North Tower was finished in 1969). Also the fashions and cars are later 1960's. Glorious to watch this. All that modernism was so shiny, new & clean.
And the Leafs still haven't been in the finals
Hab diarrhea 💩
Highway traffic heaven !!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH PIERRE TRUDEAU!!! YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
Dude with the old school pipe at 0:55 😂😂😂👍🏼
Great footage of Eastern's "Whisperjet," the Boeing 727.
maybe in row1
Did not realize we advertise Toronto as destination at Eastern
Toronto the Good
When Toronto was true great city with little crime
@albert einstien And,at around the time this promotional film was made,a number of individuals were coming into Canada from the US of A.....vis-a-vis.....not wanting to get involved in the Vietnam conflict.....
@albert einstien What a pile of BS, Toronto was a much safer affordable city back then and people weren't leaving for the US, if anything people were going to BC because it was booming.
@@kenlompart9905 the crime rates were pretty high but alr
I live in Toronto.This city is heaven, I love this city where I live.
Leave it to Eastern Airlines to showcase Toronto elegantly
I want to go to that time period now and not come back to this one. 😌
The pink bulldozer at 0:46
it was red, just the film faded it.
Glad no more parking lot addiction and highway addiction isn't alive in Toronto these days
This is great nostalgic footage (and music to match!).
I grew up in Toronto during this time, so crisp and clean...with room to breathe !
...and all I want to say is that someone should
have Fast-Frozen the city so it would remain like 1967....instead of morphing
Into the overcrowded disorganized mess of today....
Eastern Air Lines commissioned the following films: "Viva Mexico: a cultural portrait," "Last Week we flew to Florida," "Atlanta - A New Kind of City," "Miami Previews," "No Simple Thing" and "Person to Person." Could you find and upload them. I would really appreciate it.
1:40 whisper jets lol ...That is the buzzword Porter keeps using to sell the idea of jets at the Toronto Island Airport. Boeing 727's were ear splitting loud.
That was very cool. Like # 341!!!!
District 9 now .
groovy baybeee....
Back when Toronto wasn't averaging 400+ shootings, hundreds of stabbings and dozens of murders every year from mostly one demographic. 😢 😢 😢
Just shut up man Toronto is still in the top safest cities in the world. what would u expect it's a lot bigger now, with our metro population of 5 million just be greatful u live here and stop acting like it's Iraq 😂😂😂
happy dim sum I’m from Germany 🇩🇪, and have visited Toronto 🇨🇦, New York 🗽, Los Angeles 🇺🇸, San Francisco 🇺🇸 and Las Vegas 🇺🇸. Vegas 🇺🇸 is my favourite city in North America. I rented an AR-15 at a gun range, than I got drunk smoked some weed than fucked some sex workers.
happy dim sum Toronto 🇨🇦 is a cool city too, I just couldn’t rent a gun to shoot so that’s a thumps down for me. Love Canadian weed tho.
It's been shown that violent crimes have gone down significantly since then
@@ntt2k
You have to be living in fantasy land if you truly believe that Toronto is safer now than it was 20-30 years ago. You can't have hundreds of stabbings and be setting a historic record high in number of shootings this year and still believe that Toronto is safer and less violent today than it was several decades ago.
There are many crimes and violent incidents that are often not reported and if you want proof of that all you need to do is go to the Toronto subreddit and see the number of stories people report on that subreddit and then see how many of them make the news.
Heck a little over a week ago for example there was this black guy who was walking around yelling racial slurs at people and assaulting them and then running away. This happened to several people before he was caught.

These racist attacks WERE NEVER reported on nightly news because the perpetrator and the victims were of the wrong races. Can you imagine a white person committing these acts of violence against several minorities and others and NOT have it be the first news story the media reports for weeks on end? Cmon now you know the answer to that one. Things ARE getting worse and the media are doing more to cover it up and you have to be living under a rock not to realise this.
Toronto the good before it was corrupted.
I moved out for BC ... too much pollution , rat race and corrupt Trudeau ... that was 1981
since then you can go to a Blue Jays game downtown but not much else is better
too bad EASTERN went SOUTH!
Indeed, all due to corporate greed too.
canada before mass migration ❤️❤️❤️
Now too expensive to live.
It's kind òf sad the majority of our current infrastructure was from back then and anything new is being privately built. Wish we had more highways and subway lines
wow the seventies did give us some ugly ass buildings
Wha? this is great architecture!
Those buildings are much more iconic and timeless than the generic crap towers we get now
Yeah 70s design in general is pretty awful. Although we actually got off lightly from that garbage era compared to other cities (Los Angeles for example destroyed so many of their Art Deco stuff for stucco ceilings and earthquake proofing). Toronto was maybe a little too in love with Eastern Euro influenced Brutalist style compared to other cities. We have a lot of those here.
THAT DUTCH ANGLE!
lol its ruined
I used think Canada was great, until government fucked all over.
not one black person in any of these videos back then lol
