    8:48 the Guv nightclub! Years of great party nights still awaited back in 01’ before they demolished it for … condos lol. I was 18 when this was filmed and can remember this version of Toronto so well. It was a special time for TO. It had an awesome feel, lots to still do, but without the dense population, cell phones, intense advertising and condos everywhere. Back then Toronto didn’t try to imitate a true global centre like NYC or London. And that made it special. Thanks for sharing this. Cool trip to watch.

    I was 14 years old in 2001 and I feel like the video quality was better than this during that year. This recording looks like it's from the late 80s or 90s. Maybe the camcorder was a little older from the 90s but recorded in 2001. I lived in Brampton during this year.

      dude, there is no set "video quality" for any year. there are videos with bad quality in 2024, and there are videos with good quality from the 50s. i also cant say this video looks too much different from any other ive seen on camcorders from 2001

      @@chronofantasy1987 ok, but your point at first was that the video doesnt look like 2001, but i was telling you it does. also, film cameras have been able to shoot video that could be digitally displayed as 1080p since the early 20th century. and i dont just mean movie cameras, i also mean any camera that could record footage before the analogue era. but what im going on about is the fact that this video doesnt look any different from many other camcorder videos from 2001.

    I think this is when the condo boom started. This is also a few weeks before 9-11. I was working at the Rogers head office at Bloor & Jarvis when the planes hit and other office buildings were told to evacuate after the second plane hit. Rogers sent out a company wide email asking us to stay working because telecommunications were very important during this time.
