Montreal's Expo 67 Was A Landmark Moment in Canadian History
Completed in a record four years on artificially-built islands in the middle of the Saint Lawrence River, Expo 67 was a Category One World's Fair and the main celebration of the centenary of Canadian confederation in 1967. The scale and ambition of the project forever changed Canada, as well as the perception of Canada by foreign countries. With over 50 million visitors, the fair broke all previous attendance records and would prove to be the most successful World’s Fair of the 20th century. Still considered to this day the largest cultural event ever held in North America, Expo 67 firmly established Montreal as an international world-class city and remains etched in the memory of all tho...

When Canada 🇨🇦 was still Canadian 😢
Definitely had cool uniforms and logo.
Bruh I'd love to live in places like this
Impressive documentary! LET’S GO EXPOS ❤️⚾️💙
you can live in buildings that are connected to this reso and sometimes if you are lucky enough the wifi extends to your lot lol my cousin lived in one such condo and had free internet for like 5years
I was expecting to get emotional watching this, but i'm severely overwhelmed at how deep my feelings go & the intensity of my tears. In '67, my family was living in the suburbs 46K north of the city. The year our country moved into triple digits, turning 100, i moved in double, turning the big 10. I'm extremely grateful for being old enough to have realized & appreciate at the time, not just the massive physical accomplishment, but also the social impact of celebrating the cultural uniqueness of a large diversity of nations while bringing them together into a peaceful, true global village. Having an 18 years old brother who introduced me to the music he listened to, i was a little more socially aware of the cultural revolution than my fellow 10 years olds. I remember thinking, San Fransisco could keep their 'summer of love', (i was too young anyway 😂), we had Expo 67!
Montréal Québec to be exact
Awe inspiring. I will go back one day 100%
I have a similar story. My parents met just before the storm and couldn't talk to eachother as they were cities appart and the storm stopped them from speaking to eachother. The met again 2 months later and then 2 years later here I was! truly happy that they met again, or I wouldn't be here
Bullshit propaganda piece. Fast talking, annoying music, too many jump cuts. FAIL
I worked there in 82 and 83 loved working there the top hotdog with swiss is the best dog in the world .
Fantastic video thank you!
I can barely believe it.. Wow!! Thank you so much for this video! =•)
Thank the smog that's always present in the city for such unstable heat and rain.
It wasn’t just Canada we got hit hard too in maine lost it for weeks
Montreal hasn't changed much since 1967 ...
Learn French if you want to preserve it...
I’ll never forget this disaster…I’m in Toronto, but my dear friend lost his car, house (both crushed by trees), and almost his life after being hit by a bus while walking to work, that lost control on the ice, jumped the curb, and pinned him against a wall. He and his family was devastated, I just thank god he survived after 2 months in the hospital. It was an awakening reminder material things mean nothing, because you can replace a house and a car, which he did, but you cannot replace a life. Ps - a HUGE THANK YOU to all those that came to help!!!!
i got a poster of this at home
NY sports fan here; I always rooted for the Montreal Expos, especially during the late 90's on. I truly believe that there were behind-the- back scheming to get rid of the Expos from Montreal. I can only hope that Montreal can get another team soon.
After the pandemic I’ve noticed that montreallers seem to be a lot more rude. The last couple times I have been there, I’ve encountered a lot of rudeness and dirty looks.
The season pass for a child was $17.50. Which is the equivalent of $166.05 today. I still have a wallet from Expo 67.
Oh yezzzzzz get in action everybody plizzzzzz, let only music rule the world & let everybody enjoy the fun, visit gorgeous Montreal for the occasion, bring them all birthday party guests with you, a music happening is my very favorite birthday gift... you can bet on it 🎉❤🎉
Would this version of the REM be 'Socaily acceptable' ruclips.net/user/shortsqWvU_tiACSk?feature=share
I love the sentiment of it only comes one way that’s it or get the f*** out. It really makes you feel like your ordering from some real bad asses and you should be grateful your even getting one. I love that whole f*** you pay me non personal big city feeling. A lot more businesses should be ran this way!
People from “down south” are acting like they ate fried bologna at least 2-3 times a day for 35 years. Frying bologna really isn’t that special, I believe everywhere people eat bologna it has been fried.
A wonderful coverage of Expo's impact. I was 11 when it opened, 12 when it closed, and much wiser after visiting. My only quibble is something that was missing. It was Prime Minister John Diefenbaker that made Expo happen by throwing the weight of the Government of Canada behind it in November 1962. Diefenbaker lost the 1963 election but the die had been set and the Expo braintrust was unstoppable. He apparently told Drapeau to "think big" and the mayor was the master promoter and showman it needed to succeed.
I was in Montreal last weekend to see the f1 race, was my first time in Montreal. I really like to hear the girls speaking in French, I love it.🥰
Love this video! I'm so excited to return soon!!
WE'RE SO PROUD OF THIS GREAT CITY WITH GREAT FESTIVALS, FOOD AND PLACES TO SEE. LUCKILY I LIVE ON 0NE STREET FROM OUR BOARDWALK WHICH GOES FOR MILES RIGHT ON THAT ST. LAWERENCE!!
I now work in one of the buildings that were originally there are the expo.
The foliage was beautiful that fall... I lived in VT.
I remember we had a mini ice storm in Pennsylvania the next week and all our power people had left to help Montreal. We were out for days
Still have my Expo67 passport.
I’m pretty sure that ice storm was in Buffalo New York USA also because I don’t remember exactly when but I remember in the 80s going to the bus stop one day with my sister. It was so difficult to walk on the ice. We waited a long time for the bus but school was canceled. The ice just kept getting thicker and thicker and it took so long for the ice to get cleared and for it to melt There was also an ice storm years later when I was living on Deer Street. A power line came down and landed on a car. We were without power for a couple of weeks.
The humidity in Mtl is deadly, all year around 🙂↕️
Born in Montreal - I was 9 years old in 1967. My parents (not with a lot of disposable income) they pulled every available $ and bought season passes for Expo 67 - we went every Monday and Saturday afternoons/evenings - my Dad was a baker who worked 6 days a week, but short days on Monday and Saturday (well not really short starting at 2am those days). I feel so fortunate to have been able to experience Expo 67 - AMAZING! Season passes were fashioned like “passports” - brilliant
WTF? What was Ed Sullivan thinking? Montreal was not, no matter how magnificent, the first International Exposition in North America.
Indeed it was the first, and the last actually! Expo 67 was a Category One World’s Fair, the highest ranked type Fair, and it’s never been done in North America again, unfortunately.
LOL. If you are afraid of weather don't come to Montreal. We have severe storms to hard winter storms and everything in between. There are many cities across NA who have this same type of weather. We live in the east which is humid and hot at times. We have experienced hot weather before. In the 80s a couple of summers were as hot as the one you describe in your video. Montreal gets way less smog days in the summer nowadays compared to the 70s of last century. At least we didn't experience the heat of the 1930s.Stop believing in what they tell you today about record breakers etc. Most of it is false.
Ahhh..NO . it's a casino on 4 floors with strict rules and very unfriendly people. Real addicts losing their life saving .
I feel bad for 🇨🇦
Lived in Montreal until th Summer of 66 my dad had had enough Expo and moved us to Vancouver
shit really fucked up since then!
Toutefois, si vous me le permettez, j'oserai dire que la ville la plus européenne de TOUTES les Amériques, c'est la ville de Québec. La ville de Québec qui est très peu fréquentée par les touristes, voire même par les canadiens eux-mêmes, c'est un véritable bijou d'architecture européenne du dix huitième siècle. Pourtant il fraudait éviter toute visite à Québec en hiver vu climat hivernal. En été par contre et surtout pour la fête de la Saint-Jean Baptiste .... et non je ne suis pas québécoise en rien et dans rien.
The Russians pulled that move with _NO_ intention of hosting, just to set Canada, (Amerika's neighbor and ally), up for failure.
getting this up and running by Apr67 was like sending a man to the moon by the end of the 60;s.
Je me souviens du Gyrotron a Terre des hommes
Truly a spectacular chapter in Canadian history. I was a child in absolute wonder visiting Expo67. I lived on the South Shore of Montreal and we visited several times. Everything was new, the subway, the skyscrapers, the bridges, the highways, it was a city beyond compare. Canada's centennial, our best year ever, we never came close to that euphoria ever again. Seems like something we lost forever.
In moving from New York to Montréal, I would not change my allegiance from the Yankees to the Red Sox, but I became an Expos sympathizer. The Vermont Lake Monsters were the VT Expos & were the Class A team with them from 1994-04. I wanted Youppi! in the Mascot Hall of Fame when he got nominated, and I was so happy to see he did. I sincerely hope that MLB returns to Montréal. It deserves to have a team back! A better stadium & hopefully a return to emphasizing finding & developing young talent players would be incredible.
