Beautiful Canada. How very elegant they are.
amazing bit of history. not just about the queen really, more about Canada and Canadians and wow, how we have changed! The narration alone says a lot about the times. and as for the Queen, i can not imagine how she has tolerated a life of this
Watching this film as a history preclude to the documentary Crown.
Very informative and a pleasure to watch.
A few years ago I would have scoffed at the silly commentary of this era but...I'm glad I was around in this time as a child. I feel sorry that today's children are exposed to the dark side of life.
BTW this was the first complete film shot on the Eastman Kodak 5247 negative stock, which if you grew up in the 80s so many of the films you saw were shot on.
Amazing. Thanks so much NFB for making this film available online - steve hartwell st catharines ontario january 2018

I wonder why Elizabeth Queen made this trip to Canada for what purpose?
Honeymoon of sort
The then Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip made many trips around the World as the King was in poor health. These trips were diplomatic and since Canada, though an independent country, has the British Monarch as it’s Head of State, it is a show of respect and support by the Monarchy to the people of Canada. This is still the case today.
Right after the war, I think it was important politically for England to show its support for our help during the war.
Back in the good old days when going to Christ Church Cathedral wasn’t an heretical act.
Bay GeE
Toronto decked in gay colours has a different meaning today.
LOL.
Animated crowds everywhere ! An expression of almost boredom on Princess Elizabeth's face . How these royals must think of us, Commoners !

And we gave that great British culture away. Sad.
Pretty cringeworthy to see the vicar beside the Inuit people, I wonder if he was involved with part of the schooling that took away indigenous children?
1950s sexism sure was alive in the cameraman.
Please explain (this documentary reliably appears on PBS when they are fund-raising, and I've never heard any objections)
Racist commentator, they are Inuit not Eskimo! The subtleties of 1950s racism, as well as the not so subtle racisms, enough to make you puke!
Remember, it was 1951.
Take your Tums Mikey,
If you bothered to attempt just five minutes of research you would have easily found that:
'Eskimo' is the term southern
First Nations used to describe the Inuits' ''rare'' hunting and eating habits, which means...' eaters of raw meat.'
It would be exactly like calling anyone who described anyone from England ''Beef Eaters' as racist....
Pass the blubber.
