Toronto Boom Town: NFB doc from 1951

Back when Toronto's equivalent was Cleveland.. Oh how times have changed!

My biggest observation is how much of yesteryear's problems are problems yet again.. Take the line: "Toronto may be a victim of its own success, traffic and gridlock threaten to stall the entire city". Same could be said today.. Except back then they built subways to take us into the future, today we plan on grandiose streetcar lines in the suburbs both above and below ground!

Jeez.. History is bound to repeat itself!
