My vision of Canada along Quebec's Lighthouse Trail Photo by Sue Frause |
Granted, you can't pack everything into a 90-minute puff piece, but I felt there were some big oversights, and the video was more gloss than substance. Also, the narrator's voice was a bit too soothing and fluffy, and doesn't match the flavor that is Canada.
And yes, I caught a blooper. When highlighting Vancouver's Gastown area, they showed the exterior of Amarcord, a restaurant that is actually in Yaletown.
I prefer British Columbia's recent ad campaign much more than the PBS video. You Gotta Be Here in 2010 ran during the Winter Games, and featured some very familiar faces. Good stuff.
Side Note: When Googling Visions of Canada, the first result I came up with was an eye glass company in Windsor, Ontario that creates the "world's thinnest eyeglasses."

They also mentioned Boldt Castle which is not in Canada but a point of entry to the US.
