I'm not sure if people have seen this already. It's really interesting what Jane Jacobs (may she rest in peace) has to say about Montreal and Toronto. This was recently after her and her family moved from New York to Toronto in poopsition of the Vietnam War. If nothing else, it has some AMAZING footage of T.O. and Montreal from the sixties.
