As always, I'm Dan from The New Travel. Thanks for watching!
Right now this is the present, but in 50 years, a 100 years this video will be historical documentation.
Hitomi Melonade it’s astonishing to see how people already are talking about the futur mentioning a possible 50 or 100 years as if it was something that will surely going to exist... stay focus on the present damn ! This is the reason why the world is in crisis right now. This society failed because we always focus on what we would like for the futur and keep on always projecting and talk about the futur and nobody focused on the reality of the present. And now with this coronavirus everybody act surprised. I don’t know about you but tomorrow is not guaranteed. And I think it’s fucking time for people to open their blindfolded heart.
@@BluebutterflyofJune jesus calm down I wrote this knowing fully this might not be the case. You're looking way too far into my comment lmao
Hitomi Melonade 😒🥱 as usual
djeneba diallo that paragraph is honestly sad. Look back throughout history the human race has overcome a lot and most of it worse than COVID-19.
Christian Galante je n’en disconviens pas chacun son avis je suis désolée que mon paragraphe t’ai fait ressentir de la tristesse.
Someone should fix the streets while no one is using them.
Eric Nicholls lmaaoooo so true 😭😭🤣🤣🤣💀
We should, while maintaining social distancing
A City is not all about polluting cars.
DUDE YES I'M SOO TIRED OF THIS DAMN CONSTRUCTION 😥
Eric Nicholls you are so right.
As someone who used to work with homeless individuals, I have to commend you for your consideration of their consent. I’ve been preaching that for years and you’re the first videographer I’ve ever heard say and do it. Very well done.
Thanks T Case. Just felt like the right approach to take

@CarlosChip Morales I hear you from a legal perspective but I'm not so much referencing the legal side of things as I am the human side. Imagine you lose your job, family, and house and for the first time in your life, you find yourself living at a shelter or on the street. You may feel confused, scared, ashamed, and worried about the future. Then, I come in with a camera and start snapping pictures or taking videos for my video series or documentary I'm doing on homelessness. Now, I may have the legal right to do so but how would you feel as the subject of my film without having given your consent? Have I honored your right to decide whether you want your face in my film? Did I do you the common courtesy of asking? That is what I'm discussing. Homeless people are not street furniture or ornamentation. They are people. And people should be respected as such.
Notice the cones in almost every shot... we’re the cone capitol of Canada
Actually from my latest travels to Toronto, it's closing in on Montreal. Especially along Eglinton Avenue!! That stretch might be worse than Montreal: )
@@cindydownard nah, definitly can't be worse than Montréal (I'm from Montréal and went to Toronto last summer couple of times). This video isn't representative of Montréal in terms of closed roads, cones, constructions
@@ZPIRITmusic if u visit toronto soon...you'll see what I mean. Drivefrom Don Mills to Keele street on eglinton....hope you have good shocks when you do! Lololll. All due to the new LRT line going that length. Bonne Chance.😊
SUNSEEKER true i was there last summer in Etobicoke and i saw for myself..
There's a saying here that only two seasons exist in Montreal: winter and construction.
Thanks for making this, as someone who lived in Montreal // misses it terribly It feels good to see home, even if it's empty streets.
"Times of crisis always brings out the best in people or the worst in people." Ain't that the truth! Let's hope we see a lot of the "best" and not much of the "worst."
Wish you the best, Maddie and Jordan
Tangerine Travels so true
Amen.
Muntreal: High taxed shiethole with low services and cones. That would be an accurate title. With coronavirus city gonna crumble with high taxation. Now no ones eran enough to pay taxe. Remember this: great taxation comes with great corruption.
The Jesus guy at the mcgil / saint Catherine is always there. -30,-40 winter pandemic, summer incredible
i dont even need to forward to the video to know who you are talking about lmao
@@KinkyLettuce he'll be the one who'll survive corona for sure

jang hui su IKR! Whenever i pass by i get to see him and say hi
I wonder how the homeless people can eat during the pandemic? Most places refuse cash and demand that clients pay with credit/debit cards.
Enn Vee i know its so difficult for them.... 😢
Montreal is organizing a thing for homeless and they feed them
I've lived in montreal for my entire life and to see that the metropolis I live in is completely empty is a true shock
When I'm older, I hope I can be financially stable enough to help those around me. That's a dream of mine. Rather than food, I'd want to give gift cards for food chains. That way, they could get hot food when they are hungry instead of having to save food to be eaten cold later.
That’s a good idea. I usually take them to a restaurant but gift cards would be so much more convenient so they’ll be able to eat more than just the one time I happen to take them to eat.
I Love my city, i know its not the perfect but it has its positive points
That was a really well done video! We are really living history right now, it’s crazy to see Montreal’s streets empty and free parking spots.
people are still too close to each other. stay home and/or give space.
Nop people won't stop especially with the sunny days coming in, the canal lachine if filled with people.
I almost couldn’t recognize the empty street of Montréal. It’s almost unbelievable to see Downtown devoid of people on the street. Thank you for being this video to us. I hope to meet you someday.
it’s so nice that they left cheeseburgers for the homeless 💜
So f good meal
The Peachie Spoonie u sound like you might just have the munchies!
There are organizations in montreal taking care of homeless people. For that compassion I appreciate my hometown.
i live in montreal and this is honestly really really sad
Sama Elnaggar I do too and I agree
Same sucks how lonely it feels..😞
@Vagenstein lol you mad bro?
Thank you for sharing all that you do on this channel. Big hugs to all, from someone living in the mountains of West Virginia. We're in this together.
If there's one good thing to come from all this, it shows us humanity needs to work together 👍
I hope people saw how much construction is ALWAYS GOING ON
Big mafia
We'll get through it... Eventually...
I KNOW MAN😂😥 it's annoying
Great video, I'm from Montreal as well and I can attest that the streets you're filming are normally packed with people. This city and countless others in the world have become not-so-vibrant at the moment - but this will pass.
Stay safe everyone and we'll get through this together!
This is so weird because I was here on a trip with my classmates only a month before this and the streets were packed with people eating at restaurants and shopping downtown
I actually work (worked) near the Apple Store, so your thumbnail got to me.
And I realized just now that I have not been downtown since this all started.
Thank you for this. I am keeping a written journal about all of this and it dovetails nicely with your work.
#coronavirusMontreal
WOW so strange seeing the city so empty, But it means people are doing the right thing and staying home! I love my city, and my hope is things get better soon, might never be totally the same, But I have hope! stay safe everyone!!
It really did, Dan. almost brought me to tears thinking of our thoughtful some people are. It does give us hope!
Someone once told me, when everything feels lost, look for the ones who are helping!
The New Travel Went to a Tim Horton’s drive thru today near Toronto and when I got to the window the lady said the person in the car in front of me paid for my bill. Such a nice gesture, so I paid for the car behind mine’s bill. The employee at the window said it has happened quite a bit lately. We are all in this together, so let’s look after each other
Same story in every city it seems !! To think i was just there in August. Appreciate the disclaimer in the beginning, so important as Vloggers that we set a good example !
Great video! You did a good job filming different parts of downtown during difficult times.
Great vid ! I used to live in Montreal … stay safe and thank you for sharing the love and positiveness ;-)
Even the “spoon man” isn’t on the street playing his tunes !!!
Charlie Makopoulos omg yeah. He’s awesome. He let my daughter try his spoons like 13 years ago when she was small. He’s an icon
So sad 😥 I haven’t been in the city since November. I’m hoping everything returns to normal by next month.
I hope you and your entire family stays safe and healthy
Thank you for posting this. I've been watching how other cities are coping. I live in Seattle, but believe it or not Montreal looks a little bit more alive. It looks like a very beautiful city from this video with all the old architecture next to the new. Hopefully I can visit someday!
Great video I was waiting to see a shot of the pot store and what is like there.
Thank you for this!!! We will focus on the "best" in people. Montreal is a much loved city for locals and tourists around the world! Thank you for showing your love of Montreal: )) May you be safe in your travels!
Thank you for this video. Much
Thank you for the amazing video!! 🇨🇦💞🇨🇦💞
Montreal is a beautiful city; not just for the architecture and the culture, but for the people as well. This brought back a lot of wonderful memories, especially seeing the area around saint Catherine. My thoughts are with all in Montreal during the lockdown.
C'est vraiment triste. I was working at PVM and now from home. Thank you for the great video.
Was thinking of going downtown to do just that... good job mate 😎🙌✌🤘💖
This is crazy i didnt go outside for a while downtown so crazy
its going to be interesting to see how it all turns out after this passes
I really hope small businesses can survive. It's a tough time for them
I see a bleak future. I’m 42 and unemployed. I hope it gets better. I’m feeling quite pessimistic.
I highly doubt things will return to normal.
nothing will comeback to normal.
omg such a nice video. thats so amazing...
God bless you dude , thanks for the video 👍😍🌹
I was in Montreal during the ice storm many years ago. I was just little but I remember driving with my dad and thinking how eerie it was, no people, no lights (power out), no stores open, no cars.
Things returned to normal much quicker than it will now but a big city without people is freaky.
Having said that I am so glad everyone is staying home and trying to flatten that curve.
Beth MacDonald I was 17. I remember it well. It’s very eerie.
It`s a super good video for me that Im doing my quarentine and Im a tourist here so Its nice see the city empty like this but its also strange Im agree!! and a litlle sad.
Thanks for sharing, stay safe.
You too, Gary 🙌
Thanks for posting this and your obvious respect for the privacy and dignity of those less advantaged!
I work in downtown Montréal, am currently quarantined and my workplace is closed. I wanted to see how things were but won't for obvious reasons, so thank you for sharing this.
I live on guy/st-antoine, yesterday there was 100 homeless people near eachothers, passing smokes and stuff its discusting. thehn near the canal there was hundreds of people walking.. it's gonna be worst when the sun will come out in the next days. people wont stay inside
What a difference. My daughter and I were in downtown Montreal at the beginning of February for a Pokemon Go event, and the streets were Saturday afternoon packed. Now the city is almost like a ghost town. There's talk about many of our vaunted summer festivals being cancelled. The pharmacies are still open because they are considered to be an essential service.
I love this channel bro
Thank you for sharing this with us. It's nice to see that the people in our city care about themselves and each other. As we watch parts of the rest of the world being selfish and hateful it's reassuring to see what a wonderful community we are and it makes me even more proud to be a Montrealer!! Stay safe!
I’m in Montreal and this was a good exposure video :)
I've seen a girl w her dog in front of tim Horton and a guy w his cat on front of simons. I hope they (and their pets) are ok
Stay safe. Stay healthy. And stay awesome!
Omg!! Todo está vacío, por favor cuídate mucho! Saludos desde México🇲🇽❤
I am from Montreal and it is quite cool to see someone walking around my daily (before pandemic) spots, like I have memories in most of the places he showed. and yes even though there is a lot of homeless in MTL some people like helping them, for example the old man close to the apple store (miniature image)
nice piece....
I live in Montreal, never experienced that!
i don't even recognize my own city anymore, it feels like forever since the last time i was downtown or took the metro
Good video my friend,
Thanks for the video Dan! Very well done. From someone who lives in this beautiful city ive been trying to hit Downtown to shoot a couple of videos but still tryna respect the self isolation rule.. hope this will be gone soon. Bless up 🙏🏼
I'm been in total lockdown for the past two weeks because I was travelling abroad; so thanks for the city tour :) Though I'm surprised by the amount of people still out; in Madrid the city completely emptied overnight even though the population is six times that of Montreal.
The reason is because the government of Québec dealed the crisis quite soon and effectively. That's why people still can go outside for a walk, as long as they stay two meters away from other people.
Thank you for bringing me my city that I love so much 😊 The people here are great, which was clearly displayed in the couple giving out cheeseburgers as well as in the respect that you showed the cities homeless population. Be well, everyone. Hopefully, this will pass quickly and people will be bumping into each other at the Jazz fest before we know it.
Sadly, it has been cancelled. I think it was the right move, given the circumstances. But hopefully, next year, we will be enjoying it again! All the best. Stay safe.
When this all goes away, we should take another video of how it is usually!
Saludos desde San Francisco california dan love your videos soy mexicano
I actually live downtown Montreal and am in self-isolation due to my history with breathing illnesses. Admittedly, I'm scared to go outside and haven't left my apartment in two weeks. It is very eerie to not hear any cars and horns honking, and to barely see people on the street. To everyone out there, please stay safe and respect the social distancing. Let's do our best and let this nightmare to be over soon.
Hey Jade. If you need anything let me know ok? If you're on your own and need food or supplies, send me a msg on Instagram. I can help
Thank you so much for your kind offer! I actually live with someone, and we've been having our food and such delivered so we're okay for now. Please take care of yourself. :)
Good for you for not putting homeless individuals in your video without consent (it would be inappropriate). 👍 I agree, Corona Virus has changed our city. For a portion of November & December 2019 (therefore, approximately 3 months ago), I stayed at Place des Arts Motel on Sherbrooke (near Park Avenue). It’s in close proximity to McGill University, FACE (an EMSB school), many businesses. The streets were constantly filled with people at all hours. Last week (mid March, 2020) I went for a bike ride along Sherbrooke (going West), and (naturally) it felt very unusual to see the streets so empty. No students, no construction, no employees from local shops. This pandemic is very scary. It is great to see people self-isolating, self-distancing, & self-quarantining, otherwise the spread of COVID-19 🦠 would be rampant (or, as PM Legault has stated, the transmission would be worse than it is now). Thanks for the video. 🙏😔
This is a very sad historical event I hope it all will end soon insha Allah I never thought i would miss the fullness of the bus or metro. I miss the business of the city
think about the planet having a break from pollution, animals (especialy those in the water) can have a normal live for few time (for those that are still alive since humans kills everything that lives) its not that bad, humans are selfish has fuck. the over population on earth is real thing people just wan to live their life and not care about anything else
My favourite city of Quebec. I am from Northern Quebec and I travel 8-10hrs to reach Montreal. I really miss the population on the streets. Hope that this virus ends sooner..... Craving for a Double cheeseburger at 5 Guys.
Im proud to be a part of this city
my respect fron brazil , to Montreal Canadá.😷
Same to you Brasil 🇧🇷♥️
@@TheNewTravel Thank you!! will always be welcome here in Brazil
First time I went to Montreal was during a summer and it was great... lots of street activities to enjoy. Another time I went during the fall and it just depressed me... no one out and the city just lacked life. It was a bit surreal like being at a funeral or something ... hard to describe.
I came back 1 week ago in Mtl and I don't feel I have been back in Canada since I am still in Quarantine
God bless you for this video as you said this video inspired me to decide to buy something for homeless people !!
i live near montreal and know how busy it can be this is crazy
Take care 😷👍
give U my heart❤️💗💙💚💛💜💖
This was my home town.
So strange to see this City Empty and quiet
I’m missing downtown so much 😒
apparently now it is even more empty
I ♥️ my city
De por sí montreal es una ciudad sola y deprimente, no quiero imaginarme como sería Montreal encerrado en tu departamento
this is crazy downtown montreal is never that empty this is really sad
think about the planet having a break from pollution, animals (especialy those in the water) can have a normal live for few time (for those that are still alive since humans kills everything that lives) its not that bad, humans are selfish has fuck. the over population on earth is real thing people just wan to live their life and not care about anything else
Thankfully the sqdc is open 😚👌
Haha yes I saw they had a line up!
Ya its scary out there bud, I am also trying to help people out when I can.
lol why did i get some kind of ptsd from the metro noises at the beginning, i swear the metro always shuts down for no reason here
Holy shit first time seeing montreal this empty.
Thank you for wearing a mask!!! It’s quite important to be wearing a mask!
Wang Isabelle it’s useless unless you have the virus..
a tiny virus dropped mankind to his knees. it's mind-boggling.
all virus are tiny
bgregg55 The virus, and some mass hysteria
This aint no « tiny virus »
Its about time
This is the beginning. Please be prepared. Think now.
Gotta put montreal in a complete lockdown, bring the army, because if not the virus just gonna keep spreading, and this quarantine finna last till 2021
I lived the UQAM dorms but they made everyone leave, unfortunately my stuff is still there and I can’t get it... I miss my place and my roommates
Oh wow that's crazy that you can't even get your stuff out!
Whenever I went out to eat and had leftovers, always gave my food to the homeless. Still do it to this day whenever I travel to big cities.
I would love to see how downtown looks at night without bars or clubs opened
Montreal has slowed down it's nearing to become a ghost town...I live right next to The JGH and it's pandemonium here and all hell is about to break loose...
💖
HI DAN
Hope everything ok
Terrible, just been there in the end of January saint Catherine was totally full.😢
Yea it's spooky when you think how busy it usually is...
I appreciate your respect for not filming homeless without their consent. Most people would not cared
I don’t want to say only Canadians would do that, but in the other hand, doing such a thing is something soooooooo much Canadian...! Cheers from a Mexican follower living in Germany
Pretty empty for Montreal but just like Ottawa, still too many people out. Wish people would take this more seriously and just stay in! Quebec is not as bad as Ontario but it will get there is people don't make an effort to self-isolate! Heartwarming video Dan. Stay safe my friend!
how do you think it will go in the next 2 weeks with the beautiful sunny days that will occu. people wont stay inside for 1 month, we been lockdown for 20 days now
@@davenadeau8671 I know.. so sad. Gatineau closed the border to Ottawa. Now Quebec numbers are the highest in the province :-( The less people stay in the longer we will be inside, the longer it will take for things to get back to normal .
@@Busybeeee Oh I completly Agree at this point, I've been locked down in my room for more than 2weeks, theres nothing to do anyways outside.. well I see people passing in front of my house with tim hortons coffee and stuff but I'm not gonna go and get a coffee too risk my health, but I wonder if I will be still have this mentality in 1 month when it's gonna be 30 degree outside
this is my hometown go #canadiens
NOW will be a GOOD TIME TO FINALLY FIX THE ROAD ! Most of the road look like the moon now. Many peoples will die from accident for sure.
