A Place to Stand


boingboing has this link to these vintage Ontario tourist materials, including the video for the "Ontar-ari-ari-o!" song. I remember first seeing & hearing this classic at Expo 67 - Je suis ne à Montréal
Give us a place to stand
And a place to grow
And call this land Ontario
A place to live.
For you and me
With hopes as high
As the tallest tree
Give us a land of lakes
and a land of snow
And we will build Ontario
A place to stand, a place to grow
Ontari-ari-ari-o !

Maybe we got tired of it... after many years... after too many car trip... but it was a great piece of advertizing

That link says it was a 35mm film, but it was actually a 70mm (65mm negative) film, which makes it more special.
