I WAS 17 WHEN WE VISITED THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT WAS LIKE A MAGICAL DREAM. WE HAD NEVER IMAGINED ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE. OUR PARENTS BOUGHT US ALL PASSPORTS AND WE WENT THERE ALMOST DAILY FOR THE WHOLE SUMMER. IF ANYTHING PUT CANADA ON THE WORLD STAGE, IT WAS THIS!!
quels beaux souvenirs!!!! j'y ai célébré mes 20 ans... J'ai visité davantage avec TH-cam qu'à l'époque... il y avait foule et on devait attendre des heures pour une visite.
I'm very grateful for this posting. You made my day! The Mario Armengol statues are now located outside the Education Centre of the city of Calgary, Alberta.
It's crazy that we do the Olympics but not world expo anymore. I think it was a much better use of money and did way more to build consensus between nations
I was only a toddler when the world came to us here in Montreal, but the memories are still magical. I think it set the foundation of seeing the world as an inherently friendly place with everyone have fascinating cultures and making wonderful contributions. I once read that the primary difference between a conservation and liberal mindset is the first sees danger in everything that is not "us" and the second seeks to perhaps naively to connect and understand. We went to Expo many times, and even as a small child had a sense of Utopia. Maybe one day we can put aside all our fears and stop putting insecure, malicious blowhards into power and finally step in ourselves to build bridges. Thank you to the person who put this up. I have travelled the world many times, but am always delighted to come to my beloved city.
That mentality is fine for the temporary situation of a world's fair, but not as a permanent condition in a country. Montreal is the city that gave us the insecure, malicious blowhard known as Justin Trudeau; thank you so very much.
@@orbyfan Ok, bit odd to judge a city based on your opinion of one person, but I'll play along. We also contributed Jack Layton, Leonard Cohen, Oscar Peterson, Julie Payette and four Nobel laureates. People who became Montrealers later in life include Roméo Dallaire, Marie-Victorin Kirouac and Hugh MacLennan. Collectively, these are people who had dreams of making the world better place through music, art, science and literature and political life. I will also fully concede that unfortunately Justin Trudeau does not have the moral integrity, intellect and backbone of his father.
A good news reel in the British Pathe tradition about the crowning event of Pierre Berton's "Last Good Year". One significant mistake, Montreal was never the capital of Quebec.
Yep! still don't know why? Quebec city never find is own way! no metro,too much government worker,not great festival, dull city. Toronto not really better without soul like Montreal,only money talk.Montreal decline since 80's but still better social life with french soul.
The Government of Canada officially withdrew from the International Bureau of Expositions in 2012. The World Expo still lives on (with no Canadian participation): the last one was in Dubai, UAE, and the next one is in Osaka, Japan, followed by Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The narration is somewhat superficial, Montreal is not capital of the Province of Quebec, rather Quebec City is...And Montreal is not France, it is quite different...This being said, images are very nice and Expo 67 had been an incredible technical realization along with a unique cultural and human experience for those like me who had the great chance to live it during that magic year 1967: daring architecture, technical feats, cultural diversity and unknown and mouth watering smells from foreign cuisine restaurants.
oo la; poor English there: narrator ought to have mentioned the 'river channel' as being what separated the pair of opposing, bigwig pavillions; not the (whole) "river" itself
No, the language laws are what drove businesses away and new businesses from making Montreal their home. The Province of Quebec has always been stuck in the past and they decided to take Montreal down with it.
A lot of the structures weren't designed to last for decades. Also, the Korean, Jamaican, and Tunisian exhibits are still being used and you can go see them.
The commentary is very cringey and condescending. Coffee and a croissant are ubiquitous cafe items but he thinks that's true Parisienne flavour? That certainly didn't age well. He sounds like a country bumpkin who's never been outside UK/France. What's next, confusing New York with London because New Yorkers speak English and one can find sandwiches there? And summing up Montreal as a creation of the French, British, and US? So Canadians had no hand in shaping their largest city? How dismissive and insulting.
i remember 3 points in order of importance. no one spoke english that i interfaced with, second i remember some big carp like fish in the water riding the sky trams? and lastly: i had made no connections with anything at age 5! 100% observer of that event.

Great. I still have my Expo 67 pass
Nice, my parents both went there.
I am watching it just now lol! It is still a mind-boggling event! Yes, keep that passport, it's worth every penny.
I can’t believe we pulled this off in 1967. We couldn’t put this show on today in 2023.
What a show.
you got that right
we?

@@kgm4556 the naysayers were there in 1967 and still doing their thing in 2024.
back when Montreal was was France and not multicultural hell
I visited Expo 67 a bunch of times. It was a fabulous experience. Life changing really.
Brings back meomories. I still remember visiting when I was ten years old at the time.
quels beaux souvenirs!!!! j'y ai célébré mes 20 ans... J'ai visité davantage avec TH-cam qu'à l'époque... il y avait foule et on devait attendre des heures pour une visite.
I am watching today of this great event that took place some 55 years ago, and still today it's worth watching!
My family and I attended the 1967 World’s Fair. It was such a fun and interesting experience.
Montreal is not the capital Quebec, Quebec City is.
50 years too late for this comment
51 years too late for this comment
"Oui!"
and Quebec City is one big village.
My dad and i went to Expo 67 , it was awesome!
Man and his World was open for many years after 1967. We had many fond memories going there every summer.
nobody ever called it Expo 67, it was always either Man & His World or La Ronde
I wish I could teleport and live in this era
Retro futurism at its finest.
I'm very grateful for this posting. You made my day! The Mario Armengol statues are now located outside the Education Centre of the city of Calgary, Alberta.
Thank you for sharing this with us all!
When i go to the Canadian GP on Ile Notre Dame, Jamaican pavillion is still there!! Incredible!!
But its empty
I was 4 so many memories, one of my favourite part was riding the monorail
I was born in Montréal,in 1967😊
This is wonderful, I wasn't alive at the time but I sure wish I was!
It's crazy that we do the Olympics but not world expo anymore. I think it was a much better use of money and did way more to build consensus between nations
50 million visitors to Montreal in 1967

True, it's just its heart and soul.
Montreal was the capital of the United Canadas from 1844 to 1849.
When and why did we stop doing these world fairs and expos?
There is an worldwide expo in dubai ending this march! They do them every 4 or 7 years in a new country, a bit like the olympics
They cost a fortune

Its sad what this city has turned into. I dont think they have fixed the roads since this period.
My parents took me there in 1968.I don't remember a thing.
Can we get a F in the chat to pay respect to the deerly missed pitoune. 2023 edit. Rip the last monorail line at la ronde.
Some rides at la Ronde are in the same condition
Ahhh, yes the humble days. The days where every is affordable.
J'y suis né 10 ans avant. C'est vrai que c'était une belle ville en 1967.
Moi avec j’y suis ne a Montreal le 14 fevrier 1961 Hopital General Montreal. Cheers de L’Ile Perrot😎
Beaucoup souvenirs de L’Expo a six ans.
Montreal, capital of the province of Quebec? WTF?
... yes where the Canadian pavilion wasn't a circus tent and when les anglais felt like they belonged.
Belonged = Ruled
@@mikeFolco exactly
7:00 wow thats crazy
I was given & still have the flag from the Israeli pavillion
Faudrait recommencer
Rode here on the bus.
And in 2024, still the best city in Canada.
"...Montréal, capital of Canadas Québec province." I do not think so.
0:37 nous sommes à l'intérieur d'une MGB.
Throbbing seems to a favoured adjective with this narrator.
Interesting.
Could you imagine dropping acid and going to the Expo?
oo la; poor English there: narrator ought to have mentioned the 'river channel' as being what separated the pair of opposing, bigwig pavillions; not the (whole) "river" itself
Montreal is NOT the capital of Quebec. It’s Quebec City. This piece is so poorly done
Partant du futur hier demain aujourd'hui

Difficult to believe that it was in Montreal....The city did not evolve well, Too much politics....
Since Montreal loses its French soul, this city becomes even more insignificant like Louisiana.
No, the language laws are what drove businesses away and new businesses from making Montreal their home. The Province of Quebec has always been stuck in the past and they decided to take Montreal down with it.
What a waste of money and time!
Montreal was very english at that time
a lot more than today
how mutch money lost build all of that only 2 remind Americain Sphere and france pavillion now csino ! i wish to have saw that ! so mutch money lost
