As a new immigrant to Canada, I want to thank you for this series - it's allowed me to slowly build up a list of things I have to see in this great land I have decided to call my home. This was a particularly interesting video that gave a strong sense of respect for the people of Winnipeg and I look forwarding to seeing more videos - keep up the amazing work!
Me as well! Love this video on the Legislative building. I'd love to see something on the Masonic Temple here. Unfortunately from what I've heard the building's interior has semi-recently been completely gutted.
it feels so deeply strange seeing Winnipeg depicted on video at all - I'm so used to us being greatly overlooked! I've heard these sculptures mentioned on a tour around the city before and the kinds of inspiration behind all of it - can't wait to see a concise history of my city!
Subscribed. There's so many videos on "How, Why, Where" but it's based in America. You are doing great work not only explaining but showing us the history of Canada.
Ahhhh. So you’re awake, here. What an extraordinary, extraordinary! In Canada, too, even. Thank you, dear creator, you, as you thoughtfully create the world your world that you share. FUN. Thank you 🎶👏🏻💥🥰🌸
Wow this video was incredible! As a Winnipegger, I wish some of these stories were taught in school. I had no idea the journey the golden boy had to take to get here, now I have a whole new appreciation for the city I call home
As a Winnipegger I think my schools took me through the tour of these ‘secrets’ along with several others not mentioned in this video- such as the important fossils found in the walls. I think quite a few schools have made use of this part of Manitoba history. Anyway if you liked the story presented here you should look into the guided tours (I assume there are still tours offered though I have been out of the country the past 13 years..)
I toured this as a boy and remember hearing about this in the tours back in the 80/90s, I now live by it and thing about this every day when I walk by, Nice Video
I lived in Winnipeg for a few years, I've been in the Legislative building for the opening of the legislative session, wonderful building and only now after your video do I want to see it again to find out more about it, to explore it... unfortunately, I live far away now, so your video will have to do, thank you.
Worked in this building for last 22 years and trust when I say there is much more to see here which sadly wasn't/could not be shown! Its been a pleasure to work inside an amazing building!
"The Pool of the Black Star" this is called and located at the bottom of the Manitoba Legislature or the Heart of Turtle Island. Masonic Rituals are no Conspiracy Theory. Hollywood Elites are just the tip of the Iceberg. Research this Pool of Blackstar you'll find that it is a sacrificial chamber, where the "gods"of the occult underworld received power through blood sacrifices. Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women are at the hands of Powerful Elites just like Residential School stuff. Politicians/Corporates/Judges/Priests/Cops. This Generations Genocide. This Govt Inquiry won't investigate themselves.
Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out the description for a list of more curious architectural features we didn't cover in the episode. There are also links to some pretty great articles about the effect of the Panama Canal on Winnipeg and some bizarre remnants of the corruption scandal. Also, if you want to learn much, much more about the theory regarding the Masonic symbols, go directly to anything Dr. Frank Albo-we hear his tour of the building is great! *We just want to mention, if this is the first time you're checking out our channel we have 14 other episodes and a handful of shorts! You may also notice we haven't released anything new for some time - please stick around, we're on a hiatus working on some new content but we promise we'll be back!*
@Dr Reform We could only cover so much and keep the flow, but that is true! We found out the "G" that is prominent in most Freemason symbols stands for Geometry.
@Dr Reform that is a natural pattern the triangle refers to 3 6 9. The natural pattern that occurs in life is 1 2 4 5 7 8. The Freemason sequence is not really a pattern and doesn't flow naturally. However I believe both are taken from Egyptian knowledge. One from the Freemasons and one from Tesla and other very intelligent people.
@Dr Reform also the streetlights on osborne deserve to be noted.. *the old ones anyways... they have 2 pine combs up near the top that supposedly are representative of the pineal gland in the human brain.. is it true? i dunno :)
Hello. I’m glad I found this video. I am Native American married to an Indigenous Canadian man. His close friend is a friend of the government in Winnipeg. This video is very interesting. I loved walking through these halls when we visited her in session. :)
This got me to watch because of the semi clickbaity title, but turned out far more interesting then I imagined. That kind of craftsmanship is all but gone now a days, the perfection and quality of work in that building is a marvel. You're walking in the footsteps of titans.Thanks for this.
Thank you for this, everyone always gives Winnipeg a hard time. This is why I love Winnipeg, so much history in our City that you will not find anywhere else in Canada.
Our local news organizations have had a big part in besmirching our image over the years. "If it bleeds, it leads." Our news outlets always exaggerate and hyper-focus on crime and violence in the city, just to boost their viewership rate, but at the expense of our image on the national stage - at the expense of how we see ourselves as Winnipegers.
was in winnipeg this week and took the tour [2 hours[ of the building. the tour guide fills in many more details of the building . you will never look at a building the same way. a must tour.
Great video, I was born in Manitoba and grew up in Winnipeg. When traveling from Winnipeg to variety of other cites when I was young, I always wondered where their opulent building was ( I didn't know every city didn't have a Legislative Building). Even when I visited a city that had one I always though to myself, the one in Winnipeg is more magnificent. I appreciate ll the hard work that went into this video, I can't imagine how many days / weeks. I look forward to more.
I’ve lived here since 1987 and I’ve never been in there and it’s awesome learning more about this city I’d love to tour all the old buildings and see the amazing architecture I would like to see a video done on the law courts building… cool video
Interesting video, the attention to geometry on the entire legislative grounds is apparent from all angles. Not suprised to learn the designer was a freemason.. although the video just barely scratches the surface when it comes to that group of people and their beliefs/intents
So interesting, I'm 49 and have been in Winnipeg my whole life and didn't know the history of this building. I use to delivery the newspaper to that building and was inside everyday and had no idea of my surroundings. Great vid and thanks for sharing.
congrats Adam on an awesome project!! and thanks for featuring my beloved hometown!! it was very informative and I dig the production/editing. really well done :)
I've been living in Winnipeg since 1996, a year before the big flood, and I had no idea about that building! I pass by it daily and never knew it's history.
Great video! Another great idea would be on the Manitoba vital statistics building. Last time I was there I've noticed numerous symbolism related to water (maritime admiralty law) I'll leave that for your next video!
Winnipeg is the cultural capital of Canada. The art, food, music, and festival scene in Winnipeg is the best across Canada - it's a long ingrained part of this cities culture.
I saw a video (on TV, I think) with Dr. Frank Albo talking about this. Next time I was in Winnipeg I stopped by just to see if the building was open to the public; my plan was to have a look around myself. By absolute coincidence, I showed up on one of the days he was conducting his tour and, bonus #2, it was just about to start. He gives everyone an excellent visit - a great speaker/presenter and fascinating material. I also bought a copy of his book right there on the spot - it's well-written and illustrated, very much recommended.
As someone who grew up in Winnipeg and of course went to visit it on a field trip in elementary school I can truly and honestly say the building is crazy cool. Now as a complete history nut I find myself wanting to go back and point out all the things I missed 😂 Thanks for this video! It was great to find out more about my hometown!
I've been following this series for some time now, and I'm delighted that this video was received so well. Congratulations to the team! Also, I visited that building, the tour guide gave me a nice bison pin, and I'm not even from Canada!
I'm from S. Ontario and I always found it odd that I knew/ know/ was taught practically nothing about Manitoba. Thanks for this, it answers questions I didnt even know i was asking 👍🇨🇦
Late reply, but for any other Canadians/Non-Canadians interested in "big" Canadian events, I'd recommend three. Two were mentioned in the video, the Red River Rebellion (Not to be confused with the 1885 Northwest Rebellion, also linked to Louis Riel) and the Winnipeg General Strike. Both of these had far reaching impacts on Canadian politics and development during the Late 19th to Early 20th Century. The third, is the "Manitoba Schools Question". Essentially the debate over the use of public funds to support separate Catholic and Protestant schools (all schools were religious in the 1890s, essentially). Mainly noteworthy as the issue rose all the way to the National level, and eventually cost the Conservative party the 1896 election, ending their unbroken run from the country's founding in 1867. This also raised the issue of bilingualism, Quebec Nationalism, and laid the basis for Canada to move from a strictly British/Monarchist society, to the modern one we see today of diversity and mosaic of cultures.
Incredible. Grew up in W, bought a house there a few years back. Out of town for school. Not once have I gone to the Ledge. My grandpa was a Mason and he died with his secrets. Thanks for this mate. Wonderfully put together.
I took the tour offered by the architectural historian mentioned in the video. It goes into so much more depth (of course it would - the tour is about 90 min) and left us all totally enthralled and overwhelmed. What an awesome structure.
Enjoy your story telling, editing.. all your videos are well put together.. thank you .... I lived on Osborne street just behind the building and didn't know the story! Thanks for sharing
This was fantastic to watch! I’ve been living in Manitoba my whole life, and I didn’t know half of the facts you mentioned! Thank you for such a cool video! I’ll definitely be showing my friends and family this video!
Great channel, quality videos. Quite enjoyable and educational. Just stumbled across it. So glad I did, I'm sending links out to my friends and family.
Wonderful video. We had a couple of tours during my elementary school days and some of this was related to us. It's a beautiful building, as is the Law Courts Building across the street.
thunderbird66613 - Could you ask him how he got up there to clean the statue? Does he have any stories about doing it? Like was he with a spotter or used ropes? How long did it take was it a few hours or days?? Personally, my father use to skydive! I remember watching from the ground when I was little. Looking for Daddy's parachute. He only stopped because the owners of the airport _insisted_ that he land at the airport. Dad said that was no fun?! He met too many nice farmers & such hitch hiking back to do it again. Wow, seems our fathers were brave & crazier then us eh?? Like yourself, I prefer my feet on solid ground 😆😆 Thanks for sharing. Do you have a Reddit account? Maybe I could chat further with you there about this? If you want to I mean? 🤗🥂 *hugz from the Atlantic🍁
@@Digitalhunny Well he had to climb a spiral staircase that had over 350 steps which took you into the dome where the boy stands on. Then you open the latch which is 2ft wide. There are already anchors in place where you rope off. Then you build the scaffolding around the 20ft boy. He did alot of the masonry work to the dome. About a decade ago the boy was covered in a gold plating so it wont tarnish over time. Ofcourse there is more too it. Thanks for your interest
Winnipeg will forever be in my heart. It’s both beautiful and hideous, infinite and a dead end. It’s a vortex of purgatory where time moves differently there. It’s weird and stunning. I miss it and I never wish to return. It’s Winnipeg
4 minutes in and knowing that I lived a mere 3 blocks from this building in the 80's and gave it little to no interest, for shame. How utterly intriguing this video is !!!!
I moved to Winnipeg in August, 2018. I do like it here, and in some ways more than where I lived, British Columbia, but I don’t think one of those things is the weather. Great video.
Great episode and great series! I have a little request: could you do a future episode on Canada-Aboriginal treaties (treaties with the indigenous peoples)?
Amazing video! Love seeing my home get a good shine like this! Too bad you didn’t do the sound effects when you walk into the middle of the black star but always for another vid
We tried actually! The problem was we only have a lav mic, it didn't properly communicate the effect of the star's acoustics. It was really cool on the day though-we mention it in the description for people to check out.
Went to Winnipeg for the first time last year, got to do the ghost tour of this building but sadly we missed the Masonic tour! I'll be back again for the winter holidays and hopefully moving there soon so if not this December, I'll have to find time to take that tour of the Legislative Building!
Pretty Neat. You should do a video on how some Canadian Towns were in fact founded by American Loyalists or just Americans who did not want to die in A War with Britain. Elizabethtown also known as Brockville is a good example.
thanks for the history it really helped me appreciate manitoba, im from vancouver and wasnt taught a whole lot about manitoban history so its been hard appreciating the province since im used to the sea and mountains, but i also have a huge appreciation for history so the more i find out, the more i dont mind living here (besides the winters, yall are nuts for living here haha)
As somebody who has been all over Winnipeg as a child on the streets, I used to wonder into tunnels and noticed they are across the whole city... building to building even to some old apartment buildings and bars and clubs even... the govt DOES have a tunnel system they don’t talk much about
I went on a field trip to the legislative building last Wednesday and it was pretty cool this helped a lot cause I didn’t find any of the secrets except the bisons in the front but decorated for Christmas everything was lights and Christmas trees lol
We did actually record Adam whispering "Winnipeg" in the centre of the star but our lavalier microphone did not do a good job of conveying the effect in post, so we cut it-alas we don't have the funding to upgrade our gear. We mention it in the description though, and we'd like to go back someday and record it properly for posterity.
Yea, I remember before I'd ever heard of the theory, on 420 me and my friends noticed the sphinx for the first time and questioned what exactly we were smoking.
That is actually a construction photo, and apparently the bison arrived later in the construction but we aren't sure when. When we speak about the corruption you can see a multitude of photos of the construction at various stages.
Winnipeg has always been a centre of multi-culturalism. I think our parliament building reflects that. My dad did the gold leaf in the dome. A beautiful building as are a lot of the historic buildings in Winnipeg. I worked on quite a few the old historical sites in Winnipeg including the bank on Main Street just north of Portage.
You should've mentioned the perfect acoustic resonance experienced when standing at the center of the Pool of the Black Star. I find it mind boggling that they designed it to perfectly resonate your voice in that single center point.
We did shoot a scene about it but we only have dinky lav mics and when played back you couldn't tell the difference. We definitely could when we were there though, very cool. Hopefully we get back there with proper mics some day.
As someone who's from Winnipeg I found this extremely interesting 🤔 Never knew about the medusa/athena heads as well as the sphinx's. Will be some interesting facts to throw into conversation. I'm surprised some of this wasn't touched on in history class
Just found another great channel, for all the infinite bad things to say about TH-cam's algorithm, without it, I probably wouldn't find great channels like this one.
Lol. They guy who wrote the Panama Canal article you reference was my grade 10 history teacher (American history, which is a required subject in Manitoba...for some reason).
Mäÿä Mïsërÿ Cïmmërïän ugh yes, I’m visiting back to my hometown in British Columbia right now, it’s hot here too but not like Winnipeg, I’m gonna have some getting used to, to do.
When i went there for a field trip the person who was giving us a tour said that one of the bisons name was mani and others name name is toba combined there names are Manitoba

We hope to do many more episodes revolving around Winnipeg and Manitoba! Thanks for watching.
Me as well! Love this video on the Legislative building. I'd love to see something on the Masonic Temple here. Unfortunately from what I've heard the building's interior has semi-recently been completely gutted.
Young Boss i’m in Selkirk 👍🏼
I got a question is there church Thursdays there
What Rez you from boyy prolly heard that before
it feels so deeply strange seeing Winnipeg depicted on video at all - I'm so used to us being greatly overlooked! I've heard these sculptures mentioned on a tour around the city before and the kinds of inspiration behind all of it - can't wait to see a concise history of my city!

It still blows our mind with each new topic we research that we don't remember learning anything about it in school!
As a Winnipegger I think my schools took me through the tour of these ‘secrets’ along with several others not mentioned in this video- such as the important fossils found in the walls.

@Dr Reform We could only cover so much and keep the flow, but that is true! We found out the "G" that is prominent in most Freemason symbols stands for Geometry.

Yes..
Interesting video, the attention to geometry on the entire legislative grounds is apparent from all angles. Not suprised to learn the designer was a freemason.. although the video just barely scratches the surface when it comes to that group of people and their beliefs/intents
Have lived near Winnipeg my entire life and learned a bunch of new things from this video!! Thank you!
This should be shown on CBC and in every classroom of canadian schools . Thank you guys
What a well-produced video! Reminds me of the old documentaries you’d see on TV.

It's spectacular on the inside. You really should take the tour.

The grand staircase is 3 flights of 13 steps. These are the 39 Steps referred to in Hitchcock's film. Winnipeg is mentioned in the first scene.
The movie The 39:Steps is adapted from the novel of tha same name by John Buchanan, Lord Tweedsmuir, a former Governor General of Canada.
That building is absolutely magnificent!!!
Great video! Another great idea would be on the Manitoba vital statistics building.
Last time I was there I've noticed numerous symbolism related to water (maritime admiralty law) I'll leave that for your next video!
I have to see this building for myself, one more reason to travel from Calgary to Winnipeg. Cheers.
Great video. Lived 16 years in Wpg. and loved every minute of it. I never knew the inside of the Parliament Bldg. was so ornate and beautiful.

Maybe I could chat further with you there about this? If you want to I mean? 🤗🥂 *hugz from the Atlantic🍁
@@Digitalhunny Well he had to climb a spiral staircase that had over 350 steps which took you into the dome where the boy stands on. Then you open the latch which is 2ft wide. There are already anchors in place where you rope off. Then you build the scaffolding around the 20ft boy. He did alot of the masonry work to the dome. About a decade ago the boy was covered in a gold plating so it wont tarnish over time. Ofcourse there is more too it.
Thanks for your interest
Thanks for a Winnipeg video Canadiana!
There will hopefully be more in the future, lot's of great stories to tell!
Alright, I'm in. Subbed for life
I always knew this place was special. There's something special in the people here.
LMAO! Special is absolutely right... LMFAO
Fantastic. Get this crew a documentary series. Very well made.
Winnipeg will forever be in my heart. It’s both beautiful and hideous, infinite and a dead end. It’s a vortex of purgatory where time moves differently there. It’s weird and stunning. I miss it and I never wish to return. It’s Winnipeg
That is beautifully said. We are similarly transfixed by Winnipeg.
Yeah, I dig it. A beautiful place to grow up, but a prison for ambition.
I live outside there, the best view ive seen of that "Shitty" is in my rear view mirror on my way out😂
Morbidly exquisite poetry, like a Guy Maddin film.
Love your videos! My brother lives in the Peg, I’ll have to send this to him.
Thanks! Hope he enjoys it!
4 minutes in and knowing that I lived a mere 3 blocks from this building in the 80's and gave it little to no interest, for shame. How utterly intriguing this video is !!!!
I moved to Winnipeg in August, 2018. I do like it here, and in some ways more than where I lived, British Columbia, but I don’t think one of those things is the weather. Great video.
Rose Pallet tru tru
ELITOS Burritos yep the god dam weather
Exceptional work! Thank you very much for this wonderful piece of work.
I loved this, it was so ominous and mysterious. It made you want to see more!
Great episode and great series! I have a little request: could you do a future episode on Canada-Aboriginal treaties (treaties with the indigenous peoples)?
I live down the street from this building just found this video pretty neat!
awesome video! this style makes learning history fun
As an American I found this video very informative. I’m a big history nerd and I know I want to visit Canada one day especially its historical sites
Thank you for making this video. I was born and raised in Winnipeg.
This channel is amazing - you guys are gonna be big
Amazing video! Love seeing my home get a good shine like this! Too bad you didn’t do the sound effects when you walk into the middle of the black star but always for another vid
We tried actually! The problem was we only have a lav mic, it didn't properly communicate the effect of the star's acoustics. It was really cool on the day though-we mention it in the description for people to check out.
the videos you make punch way above your subscriber count
Great video folks, well done!
Sending that Wpg Love your way ❤
Went to Winnipeg for the first time last year, got to do the ghost tour of this building but sadly we missed the Masonic tour! I'll be back again for the winter holidays and hopefully moving there soon so if not this December, I'll have to find time to take that tour of the Legislative Building!
Why ? Masons are in The 33 rd degree tbe catolists to the devil himself ans tbe sacrificed can attest
Pretty Neat. You should do a video on how some Canadian Towns were in fact founded by American Loyalists or just Americans who did not want to die in A War with Britain. Elizabethtown also known as Brockville is a good example.
nice....... now i shall make sure to take note when i go downtown to the legislative building
YES another canadiana video
thanks for the history it really helped me appreciate manitoba, im from vancouver and wasnt taught a whole lot about manitoban history so its been hard appreciating the province since im used to the sea and mountains, but i also have a huge appreciation for history so the more i find out, the more i dont mind living here (besides the winters, yall are nuts for living here haha)
As somebody who has been all over Winnipeg as a child on the streets, I used to wonder into tunnels and noticed they are across the whole city... building to building even to some old apartment buildings and bars and clubs even... the govt DOES have a tunnel system they don’t talk much about
Havre, Montana also has tunnels that were built and used for everything from Speakeasies to barber shops.
Having lived in Winnipeg (twice) Thank You! It is a beautiful city and as a bonus, I met my wife there.
I went on a field trip to the legislative building last Wednesday and it was pretty cool this helped a lot cause I didn’t find any of the secrets except the bisons in the front but decorated for Christmas everything was lights and Christmas trees lol
Beautiful editing! Its almost as if the pictures came to life! I hope one day my key framing can be that amazing.
We're learning everyday with After Effects! Thanks for the kind words.
The acoustics in the well of the Black Star are spooky.
Yes, I was surprised this was not mentioned!
We did actually record Adam whispering "Winnipeg" in the centre of the star but our lavalier microphone did not do a good job of conveying the effect in post, so we cut it-alas we don't have the funding to upgrade our gear. We mention it in the description though, and we'd like to go back someday and record it properly for posterity.
I used to live a few scant blocks from the Manitoba Legislature, impressive building near the corner of Broadway and Osborne.
Yea, I remember before I'd ever heard of the theory, on 420 me and my friends noticed the sphinx for the first time and questioned what exactly we were smoking.
Really well done!
Thanks!
at 3:28 when the bison are delivered, the building looks like it's been there for a long time already. Do you have any construction photos?
That is actually a construction photo, and apparently the bison arrived later in the construction but we aren't sure when. When we speak about the corruption you can see a multitude of photos of the construction at various stages.
Well, now I have a story to tell my history teacher about our city!
Good thing I clicked this video
Winnipeg has always been a centre of multi-culturalism. I think our parliament building reflects that. My dad did the gold leaf in the dome. A beautiful building as are a lot of the historic buildings in Winnipeg. I worked on quite a few the old historical sites in Winnipeg including the bank on Main Street just north of Portage.
Dryglide that's stupid :)
@@pamjohn5749 why is it stupid? Winnipeg is alot better than hog town Toronto.
Awesome video! I remember learning a few of these things in school, but forgot most of them. Winnipeg is awesome!
You should've mentioned the perfect acoustic resonance experienced when standing at the center of the Pool of the Black Star.
I find it mind boggling that they designed it to perfectly resonate your voice in that single center point.
We did shoot a scene about it but we only have dinky lav mics and when played back you couldn't tell the difference. We definitely could when we were there though, very cool. Hopefully we get back there with proper mics some day.
As someone who's from Winnipeg I found this extremely interesting 🤔 Never knew about the medusa/athena heads as well as the sphinx's. Will be some interesting facts to throw into conversation. I'm surprised some of this wasn't touched on in history class
Hard to find them if your not looking for them
@@KateLynnRaven don't you mean Easy to miss if not looking for 'em? Lmao
@@dejavudu8667 aha 😂
Just found another great channel, for all the infinite bad things to say about TH-cam's algorithm, without it, I probably wouldn't find great channels like this one.
Thanks so much for this video, being from Winnipeg, I feel better knowing a lil bit more about my city
Lol. They guy who wrote the Panama Canal article you reference was my grade 10 history teacher (American history, which is a required subject in Manitoba...for some reason).
That's awesome! It's a great article.
winterpeg still has the main switch board for all rail in canada based there too
Mäÿä Mïsërÿ Cïmmërïän lmao, I canttt wait to get back home to the fabulous +40 weather
Mäÿä Mïsërÿ Cïmmërïän ugh yes, I’m visiting back to my hometown in British Columbia right now, it’s hot here too but not like Winnipeg, I’m gonna have some getting used to, to do.
I worked in brandon manitoba last year . it got as cold as -40 for my time there that's fuckin cold lol
I mean it got to like -36 with a windchill of -55 in the winter this year... so yes still winterpeg
Taylor C such a fun city for outdoorsy people! Lmao
When i went there for a field trip the person who was giving us a tour said that one of the bisons name was mani and others name name is toba combined there names are Manitoba
Just likw mani from ice age except hes a mammorh
It's cool to see a documentary esk video about my home town. And one of its coolest buildings.
