The tireless energy that encompassed Life back then. The cars. the roads, the buildings..but the indisputable reality is Life has it's own Harmony in it's own era...it also passes on to the new generations from 1 decade to the next..Amen.
+Jean Ouellette isn't Ottawa the most gorgeous city in the world 🙃 it's a secret don't tell everyone about us lol. Just love Ottawa. And what's funny is that it hasn't really changed all that much. Thanks for uploading this video.
I loved looking at what Downtown Ottawa looked like than in 1940. Are you going to make videos what North River Road from Wright Steet to Montreal Road looked like than?
Shovelling snowbanks by hand into a dump sleigh. Now we tax property owners through the roof to buy multimillion dollar snowblowers and dumptrucks, meanwhile thousands of homeless unemployed people wander the same streets. Put the homeless to work shovelling snow and sweeping streets and collecting refuse, put them up in dormitories and feed them on the city payroll. Be cheaper and keep crime and drugs down. They don't work, they don't eat and they get the boot.

Excellent contribution Jean.
Always nice to be reminded of the pre digital age. Thanks from British California
Love the shots of trains, particularly the one of kids going to camp on the Quebec side!
Great footage, thank you for sharing.
Good film. Brings back memories from before I was born.
how can they be memories if you weren't born yet?
This is excellent.
Some amazing views.

My family is here 20 years now, and this is the history of my kids' hometown now. Thanks for sharing this, Jean. It means a lot!
I was born in 1943 in Ottawa and remember all I have seen here even though it was the early 50s when I saw the scenes and old enough to remember.
Trains alongside the canal..real cool.Now its bike and walk paths and pan handlers

Ottawa was beautiful up until 65 and its been downhill ever since.
When Ottawa was safe and beautiful...
Wow, thanks
Wonderful footage - but the aspect ratio needs to be fixed.
Was that Mr Cundle driving the horses from his stables in Lowertown?
Eerie to think these kids are all in their 80s if still around
2:54 LOL there is always one in every group.
Thank goodness for train enthusiasts !
Nice

Please try again and change the aspect ratio, everything is too fat !
