1940s CANADA TOURISM MOVIE THIS IS CANADA QUEBEC ONTARIO NEW FOUNDLAND NEW BRUNSWICK 79534
THIS IS CANADA is a promotional tourism film produced by the Canadian National Railroad, highlighting the cities, sights, and incredible natural landscapes of Canada. The “tour” begins in its capital city, Ottawa, Ontario with footage of the Peace Tower (also known as the Tower of Victory and Peace) of the Houses of Parliament (01:15). A Royal Mounted Police officer stands on the steps of the parliament building (01:24). Inside the Peace Tower is the Memorial Chamber—a memorial to the Canadians who died in the Great War—and the Book of Remembrance (01:28). An aerial shot of the city (01:43), Rideau Hall (01:48), the U.S. Embassy (01:51), and the world-renowned hotel Chateau Laurier (01:54). The film then transitions to a narration of a man and woman from San Francisco. They start on The Narrows (02:13) leading into St. John’s Harbor at St. John’s, Newfoundland. There is footage of residential buildings in St. John’s (02:38). The tour then heads west across Newfoundland, stopping at Gander with its large airport (03:06), and Corner Brook (03:25) and its pulp and paper mill (03:27). Sydney on Cape Breton Island (03:36) is home to the region’s coal and steel industry (03:40). A boat trip along Bras d’Or Lake (03:50) reveals the summer home of Alexander Graham Bell (04:09). The landscape is similar to highlands of Scotland, and there are a number of Scots who live here now (04:30). Cape Breton Highlands National Park (05:02) has popular trails. The next stop is Nova Scotia with visits to Pictou Lodge (06:15) and the Nova Scotian Hotel (06:25) in Halifax. Prince Edward Island is reached aboard the Abegweit (06:59), a railway, vehicle, and passenger ferry that operates across the Abegweit Passage of Northumberland Strait. It is also the largest icebreaker in the world. Highlights of Prince Edward Island include Province House (07:24), Green Gables—the 19th century farm of Anne of Green Gables (07:40), and a golf course. The island has sandy beaches (08:01) where families swim, play, and picnic (08:27). St. John, New Brunswick (08:35) is the next stop, followed by Magnetic Hill (08:56) at Moncton, where an optical illusion makes it appear that cars are going uphill when, in fact, they are traveling downhill. The famous tidal bore (09:18), a wave that travels up the Petitcodiac River twice a day, is another must-see sight in New Brunswick. Taking a train (09:33) through Quebec Province provides rural scenes of a riverside town (09:57) and a waterfall (09:58). In Quebec City, viewers see footage of the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre (10:18), the Plains of Abraham (10:27)—site of Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759, the old walls of city (10:31). Crossing the famed Victoria Bridge (11:07) over the St. Lawrence River brings viewers to Montreal, arriving at Central Station (11:11; 11:47). Aerial views (11:25) show the Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral (11:30), bustling streets and stores (11:40), the first outdoor clock in North America (12:12), and the Bank of Montreal (11:56), the oldest bank in Canada. The next city is Toronto (12:23), a clock tower (12:28), historic buildings (12:35), and easy side trips to Niagara Falls (12:40) and Midland, Ontario (13:00), where a man builds a replica Huron long house. In Winnipeg, Manitoba (14:03), the film shows the Canadian National Railways building (13:54) and the city’s Fort Garry Hotel (13:55). Regina, Saskatchewan (14:18) is the next city, home to the historic Saskatchewan Legislative Building (14:30). North of Regina is Saskatoon (14:37), with the elegant Bessborough Hotel (14:41) and its Elizabethan Gardens and scenic river frontage on South Saskatchewan River, just up from Broadway Bridge (14:57). A stop at Edmonton (15:04) with a stay at the plush Hotel Macdonald (15:12) gives viewers an aerial view of oil fields (15:22). A train goes through the Canadian Rockies (15:50) and arrive at Jasper, Alberta (16:07) and Jasper Park Lodge (16:30), where a black bear strolls along the golf course (17:00) and a deer explores the lodge grounds (17:05). The Columbia Icefield (17:20) is the featured side trip from Jasper, where people climb or ride horses on the glacial ice (17:24). From Jasper, passing the imposing Mt. Robson (17:39), viewers are taken to the final two stops of the film: Vancouver (17:56) and Victoria (18:21), British Columbia.

The Delhi Ride - for Picton hospital
To bring more attention to the cuts proposed for Picton hospital, the County's Frere Brothers created this talk'n blues tune 'The Delhi Ride'. The song was created by Mark Despault, Robin Lunn and Alec Lunn with a bit of inspiration from their friend Washboard Hank's tune.
NOTE: no real bums were used in the making of this video :)

ANZAC Day Parade, 2016 Brisbane
ANZAC Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations and the contribution and suffering of all those who have served. Observed on 25 April each year, Anzac Day was originally to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli against the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
With the coming of the Second World War, Anzac Day also served to commemorate the lives of Australians who died in that war. The meaning of Anzac Day today includes the remembrance of all soldiers killed in military operations.
WW2 Authentic Bomber Command Station Tower
Hear what it would sound like inside a WW2 Bomber Command Tower during Operations. Video taken at the Yorkshire Air Museum in Elvington, North Norkshire, England home to 77 Squadron before going to Full Sutton. Also home to one of the few Halifax Bombers left in the world. I could have been there all day just listening to it over and over again hearing the sounds of Bombers starting up and taking off. Great experience!
