Great to see you using our old photolog footage, that we converted to video, again David. Your 2016 video, Prince Rupert to Terrace: Then and now, is a beauty too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-egOY7TMyGfk.html For more information about why and how we captured those images, see: www.tranbc.ca/2014/08/22/drive-a-highway-in-15000-photos/
Absolutely amazing! I moved here in 96 as a kid and while not as long ago as 1966, the old images is definitely how I remember Canada from my childhood. Just add a couple more randomly strewn brown wooden houses, gas stations and big box stores (THE BRICK) and its pretty much exactly the same
The coquitlum stretch of lougheed would suck so much if it were still a 2 lane road. Its also interesting that one of the few recongizable landmarks in both videos is riverview hospital.
sooo, basically, for anyone interested in successfully using a time machine, Lougheed would be a good reference so they don't get lost, or teleport under some hi-rise. Just try to stay to the center of the road :)
@@claybomb1064 lookup urban sprawl in wikipedia. They will tell you it is a bad thing. Example: Los Angeles. One can buy a bus ticket and be guaranteed a seat. Also nobody has or will argue against economic growth. How do you expect economic growth without growth? In my neighbourhood (Surrey) we knocked down a fully functioning hospital, so a highrise could be built. It's not like any doctors move here. Plus everyone agrees. We've already doubled Vancouver's population. It's going to double and triple.
@@rosssmith8481 do some research into ecological overshoot, biodiversity loss, abrupt irreversible climate and ecological collapse The population and economy will not be growing for much longer...
@@rosssmith8481 Haha the majority would disagree with you so "Also nobody has or will argue against economic growth." is wrong. We have made society into a less caring more wealth oriented thing. Community in it's true form is gone. We used to help each other all the time because we cared, that sadly is gone. It is sickening to watch my town died in the throws of "economic growth".
