    Just stumbled across this video and I will have to say as a 50+ year resident of Saskatoon and an amateur Saskatoon historian, there's quite a bit wrong with this. There was no "repurposed mud" or "mud flood" in Saskatoon. There was no "coating of mud over brickwork". Downtown and the west side were built on a flat plain. Workers built the structures - workers don't actually need to be residents. Saskatoon experienced a HUGE boom in 1912-1913 - so much so at the time, there were estimates that Saskatoon's population would reach a million by 1950.
    If you're going to present a historical take, then opening a slideshow of historic pictures and rambling, uninformed commentary isn't the way to do it. "Stamped over old world structures"? What the hell. At least get the population figures right - Saskatoon's population in 1913 was closer to 20,000, not 13,000.
    And you shot yourself in the foot right at the start by mispronouncing landmarks like the Bessborough Hotel - it's not Beesborough.

    I grew up in Saskatoon and went to Caswell School which is still used as a school today. I can remember the streetcar tracks were still visible on second avenue and in front of the Hudson Bay store right into the 70’s. That underpass was removed when the Midtown Plaza was built and the train station was no longer used as the mall replaced it. The facade of the Midtown when looking from the Bessborough Hotel still looks like the old train station though. Saskatoon is now the biggest city in Saskatchewan and has been for some time.

    Being from Canada I have seen these types of buildings (and greater) with these same (or worse lol) ridiculous narratives in every Province and Territory across this great nation. Our population has always been, and still is, on the low side despite the amount of land we have and this is primarily due to the rather harsh climate most of Canada experiences (especially during the winter months). When you take these factors into consideration it makes one wonder further how so many buildings of this magnitude were able to be built across our country (as well as the United States) during the same period of time. As always, thank you for your research and your perspective on it. I hope you, your young assistant researcher and the rest of your family and friends enjoy a wonderful Christmas and holiday season! Take care, stay well and be safe.

      Exactly, it is ridicule for Montreal (Ville Marie) and Quebec city... so facing the grand architecture already aged and unnecessary size of the old part of the west coast like Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, the city and the island, is obviously not making sense with how late the Brits crossed the Rockies with the train... Who had the masonic skills, where the material was from, why living in log houses and trading in with natives behind timbers forts, what they were eating if they had to clear farm land first and were relying on coal locomotive while putting on rail tracks across BC??? And why does the Chineses did the job while the Brits were scamming every living individuals they happened to cross paths with?!!!!! FreeMasons from England appropriated the old world and made up a false version of our history, eliminating cultures and locking people in asylum or spreading diseases to endoctrinâtes and limit mankind to their dark and evil satanic system throught trauma and poverty.... F**k the UK, bunch of generational satanists who abused, reduced and destroyed Gods creation. Queen is dead, time to kick those parasites out of humanity!

    I grew up in Saskatchewan. I am 64 years young. Lots of strange things. My grandfather came up to Luseland area about 1920. He went back and forth to the states. Didn't move the family up till 1945 or about. He had some interesting stories. Used to travel by horse early on. He had worked for Henry Ford. He was a farmer. Thru the wars & depression. Always thought it strange how all the roads were built when i was young. A lot of roads on the prairies. Also the sky seemed bigger and brighter than it is now. And people were more friendly. I see bad things coming in near future. Everyone better prepare. I have read so much and seen so many videos. Makes a person wonder about the world. Nice video and work done.

    It is funny that Saskatoon had some incredible architecture. Many were by some of the Scottish architects that immigrated to Canada.
    A lot of the grand old buildings have been demolished, but there were great structures (including beautiful movie theatres like the old Capitol.)
    The schools like King George and Buena Vista were designed by a fellow named Webster who my uncle worked for, before he moved on, to his own firm in Vancouver.

    I enjoy your channel and appreciate all the work that you put into it. I don’t disagree that the historical narrative seems incongruent with population, resources and technology of the times. How do you feel about The authenticity of the photos you present? With the knowledge that photo manipulation has been going on since the inception of the photograph I am looking at all “photos” much more critically. Even if my eyes cannot discern that the photo may be manipulated in some way or an outright montage The possibility must remain on the table. What would the controllers gain from putting forth false information in this way? If the historical narrative is false then it may all be false, I mean why not? I’m not trying to discredit you and your work. I’m only trying to get to a deeper level. Do you have any interest in critiquing the authenticity of photos on your channel? Thank you for helping us all move forward in our quest for reality.

    • @oldworldex

      I have no doubt that most of them have been 'vanilla skied'. I also show a lot of postcards which of course have been retouched. Because we can't really know what has been edited out, just that it has been edited, I have no interest in critiquing the level of 'authenticity'. I'm just highlighting the deception and speculating on what type of society existed before the parasites injected themselves into our realm. The AI generated photo debate is circulating of late thanks to Jon Levis latest release. I've also seen people speculate that many of the signs on the old buildings look to be an early photoshop addition to give these places a designation. Thankfully there is plenty of evidence left to lead us to believe the previous civilization existed, indicating that we were once much more than we are now..

    All the questions about why and who built the buildings give the appearance you have not studied the history of the city you are just making comments. Your comments about religions are also a little whack as there were MANY immigrants moving to Saskatchewan from MANY COUNTRIES including my own family from Ireland. The architectural style of the buildings in Saskatoon are very much like those in Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary etc from the same era--it was just the way things were built that is why so many of these old world buildings are referred to by their era or as craftsman. Why were so many buildings going up, simple people were moving to Saskatoon, and most of them immigrants with the promise of land and a place to live in peace and prosperity, and that is one factor that brought my family out of Ireland. Another reason the buildings are larger than you think they should be is because the city was also frequented by those from the surrounding farms and villages coming for supplies, entertainment, travel and medical care. Remember the train came through Saskatoon which also brought people into the city. So many people sell Saskatchewan short saying it is a nowhere place and remote and on and on but those of us who have lived there have love for the place and found it to be a wonderful place to raise a family. Since Saskatchewan is part of the Canadian bread basket again that drew people to the city for employment in the factories like Robin Hood and the river going through the city was a constant source of water in a dry province. Saskatoon is one of the few cities that have preserved a lot of the heritage buildings. Calgary has all but demolished theirs. I still miss Saskatoon a reason I watched this video.

    Whether or not the photo was photoshopped, and it probably wise, that is how they built buildings in the 1600s like today. The small bricks don't hold up anything as they are just facade. Not the same as lime or sandstone structures although steel framing was most likely used to hold up the interior of the 1700s+ stone buildings.
    Do you think that a civilization which had to have today's technology had to of built those buildings? To set up a town in unpopulated areas do you remember from history class that a school, hospital, armory, shop, etc were built by labours brought in via train to attract new citizens...? Do you remember that?
