My office is at financial district and It's been almost 2 years since I started working from home. While I don't miss the horrible commute by ttc, I do miss the vibrant financial district and fresh, cool morning air. Your video brought me back those memories.
I was in Toronto in the summer of 2019. I remember a ferry went from Toronto to Rochester, NY that was amazing, and then it was gone. Before visiting Toronto in 2019, I visited Fort Erie and Niagara Falls, Canada for a day in 2018. Every time I was in Ontario, I was treated like I felt welcomed and I felt that it was a beautiful place, not to mention the people up there are more wonderful than in New York State alone (no offense) and the TTC along with the subway was better, heck I never even been on a subway in New York City at all and I haven't seen NYC since I was a kid. Even somehow their "getthos" are significantly nicer than in New York State (especially in Western New York), much less the United States. I miss Canada, and I miss it more due to COVID-19. I hope that when the border opens again, I can come back to Toronto again and spend a bit more time than I did before.
Even though there is a mist at the top of the buildings you can see the CN Tower but not in the latest video. The streets are busier too. Nice to have these to compare what’s happening in the city. Thank you for recording history.
Watching your videos makes me even more nostalgic for pre-COVID times. So much more hustle and bustle :( The city is so beautiful around the Christmas season.
Worked as a mail runner in the downtown core back in early 2000's...this video brought back alot of memories...also financial district in the summer time CAN'T BE BEAT!!
Reminds me of New York City, but in European style. Never ever been in Toronto, live in Europe. Have close family in Toronto, my great-grands moved from Minnesota to Ontario.
We really enjoyed this video of this bustling city before COVID-19! We are very familiar with the area around Union Station and the Royal York Hotel! Thanks Alex again for doing this video!
I'm getting a bit emotional watching this - not a single mask or social distancing on display. Life before covid, it was just normal and the city was bustling and vibrant. Now it is not like this and I do not know if it will ever return to this
and the liberal mindset of the majority of people who live in Toronto translates to a gradual decline in everything desirable, little things like freedom seem to have no meaning to people of eastern canada
@@MacBolzack 90 percent of the people that believe everything the government tells them to the point they're willing to give up their freedoms and now revealed they've all shortened their lives due to the experiment they willingly accepted to be part of.
I lived 4 and half years in Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen. I've been only once to Toronto. I can definetly say, that the canadian megapolis is far more cleaner, safer and well designed than the Big Apple. Traffic idiots are all around the globe, so we can't prevent that. If i have a chance to go back to the Americas, Toronto will definetly be my choise. Good looks!
⭐ Hello from your french friend. Bonjour de la France en Europe! ⭐⭐C'est la première fois que je regarde une vidéo sur cette ville. C'est tellement différent de mon pays; la France en Europe. Merci pour ce partage, c'est vraiment intéressant d'observer d'autres cultures! ⭐⭐This is the first time that I watch a video about this amazing city. It's so different from my country; France in Europe. Thank you for this sharing, it's really interesting to observe other cultures!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
They are similar. The reason why the heart of Canary Wharf is called “One Canada Square” is because it was developed by a Canadian developer - Olympia and York.
I arrived in Toronto 3 days ago. I am in a hotel quarantined for 14 days. I am so exited to go out and see how the city looks like that I watch this video to have an idea of how Toronto looks. By the way I came here to study for at least a year XD
I can't believe my eyes this is the most amazing city I have ever seen in my life and I heard that people are so nice too I wish I can live here in the future
one of the first videos i watched on your channel...i used to work in the financial district years ago in the scotia plaza, a very cool building and the restaurants we walked to for lunch were awesome, thanks for making this video
Toronto's rush hour is deceiving because so many are underground in the PATH so I would highly doubt London's is 10x busier... maybe slightly busier overall. :P
Hey Johnny, you should do a side by side video comparison with this video and one present day. Both at rush hour, same exact place and time of day. Split screen.
i have a plane to migrate for continue my education in Canada and maybe Toronto city😎 this video was really enjoyable and fun to watch😌 thanks for sharing it💜
My first job after graduating from college in 1988 was in the TD Center. Then I quit and got a job in Scotia Tower in a well-known law firm. Back then, housing, jobs, were all easy to find.
Hey very nice, harmonious throwback quiet stroll vid through the heart of downtown TO post pandemic...was checking date assumed ws was year ago (November) looks like 2019 cause waves of ppl on sidewalks werent wearing masks. anytime is a good strides snacking@ walk time!
Awesome...Thank you very much! You are not allowed to film in the Banking area. Oh' sorry about that...hahaha. I was hoping you go trough the CIBC old and new Bldg. and the Elefant court and the BCE bdlg. ...maybe for the Christmas decor soon. I know I am asking way to much. LOL Again thank you soo much for all you do. 💚🤍🌍🍁
haha yeah, I was in the wrong, nothing I can do but be polite. Although recording is generally allowed in most places that are open to the public. Those are some great ideas, I'm overseas atm but I'll see what I can do when I return!
![Walking Dundas Street East in Downtown Toronto to Coxwell Ave [4K60]](/img/n.gif)
Perfect time of year and perfect time of day to film the financial district.
Thanks, and I agree with you!
Until Covid introduces itself within four months after this was recorded.
My office is at financial district and It's been almost 2 years since I started working from home. While I don't miss the horrible commute by ttc, I do miss the vibrant financial district and fresh, cool morning air. Your video brought me back those memories.
Unfortunately almost 90% of Businesses in The PATH have disappeared..You'll see it if you return..
Do you know if you'll be going back? This is going to KILL BUSINESSES IN TORONTO.
hi ur company
all those skyscrapers and everyone's WFH? tough for the owners. (i love wfh tho)
Y’all need to shut the hell up
Toronto is architecturally beautiful
It certainly has a lot to offer!
Its just downtown thats all
No its not lol just condos
To my replies: Merely your opinion against mine.
Nerdy Digger go home
Toronto, Chicago and NYC they look similar when walking in the avenues. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Toronto is the cleanest
@@bruce7773 You're right.
@@bruce7773 NYC is getting pretty clean too. Still Toronto is beter

I visited Toronto twice last year and I'm in love of Canada. Can see myself residing in this beautiful Country.🇨🇦
Glad you like the city! 👍
Me, too.
Canada is more than Toronto.
@@sweiland75 That's true. I'm planning to visit other cities and places in Canada.
wait till Trudeau is not in office
Outstanding stuff Johnny. The lit-up windows in the skyscrapers really gives off a nice warm glow.
Great observation!

Please come back, we need more people like you visiting Toronto.
Toronto is so beautiful, it looks better than some other famous cities which are overrated

You're welcome... !
I used to work for a big bank here in America, looking at the financial district brought back good memories. I am retired now.
The best city on the entire planet! PERIOD! ❤️
👀 Have been in love with Toronto since realizing Suits was shot there. Incredibly handsome city.
I'm currently watching suits and I was obsessing over new york for no reason? 😮 Damn what an exquisite city Toronto is.
Thats why suits was shoot here , Toronto is doppelgänger of New York
ayush sharma except the New York should be Chicago
@@victoriam2723 yep Chicago is great hometown of president Obama, but if you watch suits you will think it's new York but it was Toronto
I love suits i thought the scenes where from New York, i love Toronto even more now
@ayush sharma that is very extremely triple dead seriously true.😎
Toronto has it's own identity though. Much cleaner and safer.
I lived in downtown for a year. There are accurate shots. Well done. I recognize many of those areas very well.
Once every two years at least I have to visit Toronto. It gives me a special vibe and feeling
Great video. I’m travelling to Toronto soon. So this video was great research and inspiration. Thanks 👍
Amazing. Hopefully Toronto returns to looking like this again soon. Make Toronto Free Again.
Because of your videos i am seriously thinking of moving to Toronto very soon from Egypt. Thanks for your great insightful videos.
I hope you make it to Toronto one day, the city will welcome you with open arms
@@gumzy3000 oh thats very sweet of you. Looking forward to. Hope very soon
@@yassine3262 thanks sussy . Very nice of you
Wow! I really really really love this city, its architecture is amazing. Though I've never been there, I'm sure I'll be there asap
It's a very interesting city in the downtown core for sure! Thanks for watching and hope you get a chance to visit :)
wow the city is super clean.
Financial district. Not that it's generally a slum but downtown financial district gets extra attention...
12:40 can't wait 10 seconds. lovely toronto vibes
I'm getting a bit emotional watching this - not a single mask or social distancing on display. Life before covid, it was just normal and the city was bustling and vibrant. Now it is not like this and I do not know if it will ever return to this
@@MacBolzack Thanks for the tidbit of hope man! Stay safe!
We openin back up rn GET HYPED
We open back up BUT companies are making their employees work from home. Until that changes. We're screwed.

Your ideos are getting better and better, Way to go!!!
Looks so beautiful and very similar to Canary Wharf in London, I know now why the district center of Canary Wharf is called “One Canada Square”.
Lots of common elements with the sister country Canada-Britain
They are similar. The reason why the heart of Canary Wharf is called “One Canada Square” is because it was developed by a Canadian developer - Olympia and York.
Wow. 🤓 Toronto looks like an impressive city.
Nice to see Toronto as it was and will be again after this mess we are in with the pandemic!
Toronto Downtown is the most beautiful for me
I'm just curious why they were asking you if you like animals 😂😂
ha they were probably working for a charity.
@@JohnnyStrides AKA trying to scam you
It's just so clean beautiful, people are more friendly, I'd do anything to move there :(

This just popped up on my homepage.. would be a good one to re-do this year.
Wow! I didn’t thought Toronto had a Financial District, amazing!!!!
It’s one of the biggest cities in North America of course it has a financial district LOL
Love Toronto - rush hour in London is 10x as busy though :P
Toronto's rush hour is deceiving because so many are underground in the PATH so I would highly doubt London's is 10x busier... maybe slightly busier overall. :P

Wow THAT's Rush hour? barely any cars! Very different from where i live in Asia, the streets of the financial district are choked with traffic.
Toronto best city in my opinion
Hey Johnny bro, Which factors (like tax, house rent, food,etc) will lead to higher living cost in TORONTO according to your experience
What a good city 😍😍😍😍😍

Welcome to Toronto in advance!
I REAEAALLY LIKE NAD LOVE IT ! IT'S BEAUTIFULL AND AMAZING ..
3:35 - yup 28 bucks a day parking sounds about right.
Canada's downtown
Beautiful!!
Toronto is like Seoul. A big city.
Toronto and New York are similar, but I think Toronto is more modern and New York is more classic ❤
The best part was the couple of buses with the logo "Live Life Debt Free"...
Thanks for sharing
