I was pleasantly surprised to see my grandfather appear at the 5:38 minute mark along with other members of The North Shore Gaelic Singers at the milling frolic scene. He was involved in the construction of the Gaelic College and also did thatch repairs on the Lone Shieling. Dan K. MacLeod (1892-1972)

Thank you for posting, I really enjoyed this. 👍

Looks like paradise on earth. Too bad it all had to be deconstructed, demoralized, demolished and deluged with Kalergi Kidz...

"With a coastline over 4000 miles long, you just can't escape it's beaches!" *Eleanor McCain enters the chat*

Ummmmm, it's nice and all, but where are all the condos and airbnbs? And WHY are those people allowed near the water? Didn't they have the German and Torontonian overlords that we have today, barring all passage to beaches/ waterfrontage? Despicable!

Nova Scotia is not like this anymore 😢 sad it's gone

as a fisherman pei wish it went back to good old days

"And the banks seem just as prolific." Ominous words

I have been working in a boat shop for the last 43 years here in Chester that was built in 1980 for the purpose of building wooden 28 ft Cape Island boats for the local fishermen. Little did we know at the time that the Government would start granting fishermen money to go bigger and better. Fiberglass came in, boats doubled in size and the fish soon disappeared. Lobster luckily saved the fishermen and pleasure boats saved a lot of the builders. It would be nice to see bottom paints eliminated or changed so as to save the ocean bottom, as it looks bleak under the surface here in Chester.

Great footage 👍🏼

Interesting and a great watch

Seems if there is little left to exploit now, but it likely won't stop till there is nothing left.😢

ghosts never smile

Birchill creek, and middle Clyde river

Looks like lake rossignol, shellburne river

and now the fish are gone.....enough said

Ok, this is a decades old promotional film and yes, it’s interesting to see how much has changed but what it really needs at the start is an apology regarding the complete disregard for the fact that this is Mi’qMa’ki, whose original inhabitants arrived and settled here about 13,000 years ago.

Highway 1 in Halifax ended in May 1970 due the construction of highway 111 for the Mackay Bridge. It began in Bedford now for 53 years

Commies

Yes, a big difference.

Thanks, bro. You, the man for this Coreece, I needed this I been trying to find the 'West 47' story too!

Nazi display case "plastic paddies" the true Irish and Scottish people. Vinland has been confirmed to be in newfoundland. It's recorded in viking sagas that Greater Ireland is south of Vinland . Algonquin people speak Irish . Then simply read who invented this language . Walk like Egyptians.

What the hell happened to all that optimism?

They arrived home, just wanted to sit in the taverns and celebrate. The city was closed up deliberately for their arrival, no wonder they went crazy. They had won the war, I think they wanted to be welcomed and enjoy victory. I don’t condone the rioting, but I think I understand why it happened. My dad stayed on his ship at his post and did not take part. We lived near Halifax, at the time.

I enjoyed what was a better and more civil time, on this Earth , as illustrated in this video. Thank you.

75 years ago ✊🏻

I’m old enough to remember my relatives from this era and they certainly still had opinions that most people wouldn’t find acceptable today. There was no lack of hierarchy back then as far as most people were concerned.

Is that leslie neilson narrating?

Beautiful. Not one Tim Horton's cup in sight.

Wow, the fishing sure has changed

Interesting film since it all happened close to where I live.

Black smudges in the waterfront sky from burning Sydney coal ...

If there was any acknowledgement at all that there were (and are) indigenous peoples in Nova Scotia then I missed it.

Ravaging the River with nets and building foreign structures, constructing multiple dams and artificial fish ladders, manipulating water levels by damming off and draining lakes. What a great way to protect these magnificent, fragile creatures. It’s not like we could have just left them the hell alone.

Pray for all sailors.

Well that didn't work.

it’s a shame that these gardens are not as well kept now

Where’s the diversity, the inclusion? How did the obtain puberty blockers for trans-kiddies?! What about the LGBTQE+2 community and their preferred pronouns? No tax on all that carbon, either?! How things have changed!

My dad was in the RCN during the war- he was at sea when it happened but a lot of his friends were there. They were angry over the rent-gouging and profiteering of the citizens of Halifax who had been screwing over the Navy since the get-go and when some knob decided to stop them celebrating the end of the war (and remembering their friends who had died) they changed the narrative.

Listen to me, as when ye heard our father Sing long ago, the song of other shores- Listen to me, and then in chorus gather All your deep voices, as ye pull your oars: CHORUS. Fair these broad meads - these hoary woods are grand; But we are exiles from our fathers’ land. From the lone shieling of the misty island Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas- Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland, And we in dreams behold the Hebrides: Fair these broad meads - these hoary woods are grand; But we are exiles from our fathers’ land. We ne’er shall tread the fancy-haunted valley, Where ‘tween the dark hills creeps the small clear stream, In arms around the patriarch banner rally, Nor see the moon on royal tombstones gleam: Fair these broad meads - these hoary woods are grand; But we are exiles from our fathers’ land. When the bold kindred, in the time long-vanishd, Conquer’d the soil and fortified the keep- No seer foretold the children would be banish’d, That a degenerate Lord might boast his sheep: Fair these broad meads - these hoary woods are grand; But we are exiles from our fathers’ land. Come foreign rage - let Discord burst in slaughter! O then for clansman true, and stern claymore- The hearts that would have given their blood like water, Beat heavily beyond the Atlantic roar: Fair these broad meads - these hoary woods are grand; But we are exiles from our fathers’ land.

There is a list at the very end of the video, all are mentioned.

Hey, any possibility to use this footage to make a documentary on Nova Scotia for UA-cam?

Back in my day….

Met a lady that was on a train from Montreal to Halifax when they stopped the train and said the was was over and everyone was cheering she got to Halifax and saw the roits
