Victoria has had Sakura trees since before the war. More than one thousand were planted throughout Victoria in 1937 to commemorate Victoria's 75th anniversary of incorporation. They blossom for more than two months of the year from mid-February to late April.
I love that he delivers the stories aways in a paced and eloquent fashion, indifferently if it's at a desolate location, or coming out of a café and sharing path with bystanders at a park. The constant storyteller.
It's a pity you couldn't come to see cherry blossoms in their splendor in Vancouver. I mean, they're not just in parks and the viewing season is widely celebrated here on a scale much larger than in Toronto.
@@quantumhelium ahhhh i get it now. it was a sarcastic reply.... asking if they are so much more different or special from that what you have in toronto
@@thesage1096 Kind of, actually it goes back to my sister's wedding about 18 years ago. My uncle was having a good time and crowd surfing, but from a distance it looked like he was floating in the air, approximately 6 inches above the ground. This is how my cousin described it. Interestingly enough, I haven't seen my cousin in about 10 years - the last time I met him was when I bumped into him at the beer store.
Equally beautiful is the massive Japanese Canadian Centennial Temple Bell at Ontario Place, now removed by the Doug Ford Conservatives to make way for a beauty parlour.
Let's just completely forget everything that the Japanese did during the worst war in history. Let's forget about the cruelty and the atrocities. Let's forget the racism and the arrogance. Get out the whips. It's time for self-flagellation once again.
It's a sad fact that many immigrants hold allegiance to their country of origin. Internment camps, although unpopular these days, were, and are necessary in war time. Think I'm wrong? Take a look at the Palestinian protests all across the world right now. They don't care at all about Canada or whatever country they live in now. Their allegiance is with their terrorist middle eastern origins. A nation can be politically correct with disastrous results, or take the necessary precautions to keep their country/citizens safe.
Holy shit the content is interesting but your delivery is insufferable. Your cadence is bizarre and your intonation is extremely unnatural. You sound like you’re doing a bad impression of Mr. Burns from _The Simpsons_ or something. Setting the video to 1.25 speed helps _partially_ but it’s still enough to make me want to avoid your videos altogether-especially since you’re not providing cold captions, which is a matter of accessibility, I mean _come on_

Adam Bunch is the F'n man! I hope the right people notice the amazing storytelling he does for this city

Only 34 comments and 436 likes. Seriously???? I hope this channel grows man!
Man this is such a good station channel, I share with many other educators like myself
I used to live at Bellwoods and Robinson... Tuesday night drum circles... my lord I miss Bellwoods park.
My favourite place to see them is at Cherry Street and Villiers. Helps I live nearby but it's compact and not as busy as other locations.

Do they float in the air approximately 6 inches above the ground?
@@quantumhelium ?

Great job on the videos!!!
Great video and channel -- liked and subscribed!
Is this series still being done?
Yes
👍 Great video! 💖
I love the format of your videos but tuck in your shirt!
If it repels you.... look away. The information is worth it's weight in gold. Child. *pats shallow head*
His shirt is part of his look!
He tucks his pants into his shirt
@@hillbilly23 mad. love it
Sadly 2020 we will miss the blossoms :0( stay safe everyone
WHY?
It's hard to believe that such open bigotry and prejudice existed so recently in Canada...
we're far from the apex of society now, imagine how barbaric we'll seem to people 50 or even 500 years in the future.
@@dosmundos3830 - Yes, I believe you are right. Some of the things people commonly do nowadays will seem unthinkable in the future...
It was 21,000 Japanese Canadians to be more exact.
I feel these plants would thrive in british columbia

That would be an awesome sight without all the people there messing it up.

After the American Revolution how did Lower and Upper canada not become American. ?
It was war, stop going back through history with the red pen of modern morality.
