Do You Remember When?

[miggles]

It sure did Pil. But the person who invented that little yellow gadget musta made a mint. lol.

Jojo, I was trying to find a pic of my chimp but remembered it's on a slide. But I found another pic that I thought had the chimp in it but it was a monkey. I forgot I also had a stuffed monkey. lol.

My chimp had suspenders on. Did yours?

 

[nanajojo]

I think he did , I will look around and see if I can find a picture. I have one but that would take time to find LOL !!!
I know he had clothes on shorts like I think

 

[nanajojo]

well I find this on ebay and I think this is the one I had if you had the suspender one yours is probably younger than mine and cuter

 

[miggles]

Oh, yes, mine looked like that too only he had on suspenders. I will try to find a pic of him. But I think all I have is that slide and I can't scan that. I need a film scanner for that. Wish I could get one. lol.

Jay Silverheels was a Canadian I think

 

[Bevlina]

I only remember old Australian stuff like Elvis the pelvis.

 

[davedajobauk]

Jay Silverheels was a Canadian I think

honest-injun? I never knew that!

he looked like an american indian

with a name like silverheels sounds like one
would expect canadian indians to have french names

apologies to any silverheels descendants
if the gentleman wasnt an indian

Yes, Jay Silverheels was Canadian. He was born at Brantford, Ontario.......Why would he be French or have a French name? That puzzles me.

Cheers,

Jim

French Canadians >>??

Wasnt Canada, ever called 'France'

yes of course I do jest!

The Dutch went to Africa
and the French went to Canada
was, always my-belief

doubtless, as-with England (in times of yore)
immigration Made the Country (I always thought)

Yes, it was once New France, but the British defeated the French and the British colony of Upper Canada was established, Typical of the Brits, they gave certain rights to the French and they established their own province of Lower Canada, later to be called Quebec. They were also given language, religious and legal status.

The Indians have always maintained their own heritage and spoke their own language. The only French combo was/is the Metis; Indians married into white families, mostly French. They were primarily in the Hudson Bay area, and Manitoba.

We are officially bilingual, English-French, but there has always been tension between the two.

With the political multiculturism of to-day, we are not sure where this country is headed. At onetime, we English could come to Canada without papers, but now we are just another immigrant, and low on the list of priorities. I came in 1948, but had to take out Canadian citizenship papers in the 70's.

Cheers,

Jim

yep!
thank you so-much for that Jim

I was so 'pleased' to be able to step over the bear pit

it is true,
that if, you walk around
with your eyes closed
you could miss so much
of God's 'Heaven On Earth'

I am glad my little trivia tid bit about Jay sparked the interesting History lesson. I remember when we used to sing in assembly most days In days of yore from Britain's shore Wolfe the dauntless hero came and planted firm Britannia's flag on Canada's fair domain.... I forget the rest but I bet it doesn't happen now. lol. We also always sang God Save the Queen Jan

Here's a pic of my record player in my room around 1961. Note teddy bears playing monopoly.

Oh Migsly
