Where is the live footage from? Province, river?

You're not Canadian if you haven't seen this

I love this short film!

Fun animation. Seeing the live footage, at the beginning of film, brought back a memory of a rumour that an ancestor had lost his life running logs downriver. I can see how, watching the log driver zipping down the river in the film! A different time for sure!

Love this - brings back many memories. Now I'm teaching it to my grandchildren who like it too.

Such a treasure of Canadian history. THANK YOU NFB for continuing to offer this film for FREE online!

I appreciate what you mean canDarian, but I am an ex-pat living in the UK and am grateful for the fact that this content from our childhood is available to view on line. I have been able to show my kids the films I was treated to as a child in Canada. the film board can be proud that children in other countries like England have the ability to discover the Canadian experience through such a wonderful website like this. Fair play that the film board has the option to make money from these films, but my kids have watched this, the sweater and the cat came back for free and enjoyed just a little of the Canadian experience. I miss my homeland everyday and am glad I have the opportunity to give my children the chance to get a taste of what it means to be a Canadian.

Working class nostalgia: "To please both my parents I've had to give way, And dance with the doctors and the merchants and lawyers; Their manners are fine but their feet are of clay, And there's none with the style of a log driver."

Is nostalgia wrong, unprogressive?

A very sweet film...

This wonderful film is an extremely well-done and entertaining work. I remember when it was screened on TV. I loved it then and I love it still. Canadian history dull? Don't ever believe such nonsense. Thank you NFB.

Just love this animation. My wife's favorite too!

Such a Canadian treasure! I remember being thrilled as a kid whenever this happened to come on television. I loved it then and I certainly have retained loyalty. Everything works so well together, the animation and the lovely voices. I am certain this will be a favourite of all who view it.

I loved this. Makes me think of my Dad who use to ride the logs. Freemanor

Thanks for the tip Matrix I was thinking something might be possible, time to open Opera. I still hope they add download links though to make it easier for everyone.

lesty: All video are technically "downloaded" onto your computer before you can view them. You can save any video you view by going through your browser's cache and finding the corresponding file (method for doing so will differ from browser to browser--I personally use Opera and there's a "cache" folder inside the application profile folder).
matrix_peter2000, 25 Jan 2010
Is there going to be a direct download of this? I'd take it in the FLV format its already in or more preferably a XviD AVI file. You could use bittorrent to keep bandwidth costs down. I understand that you need to generate revenue but since this is only 3 minutes long is there a possibility of a download?
lesty, 25 Jan 2010
Thank You Kate, The lads on the river.

Rest in peace Kate McGarrigle. You may be gone but never forgotten.

@canDarian: I'm not sure why you think people have to pay for this, but you're mistaken. Also, are you really sure your grandfather wouldn't be proud to say that he's part of a NFB film/song that has literally been burned into the cultural fabric of this country, money or not?
Richard_Toronto, 20 Jan 2010
Rest in peace Log Driver's Waltzer Kate McGarrigle. You will be missed.

canDarian, My family were involved with the log drive in Quebec/Northern New Brunswick and I'd LOVE to see my grandfather on this film clip. Where was your grandfather working the drive?
Lynne from NS, 19 Jan 2010

My grandfather is in that reel and you besmirch his memory, by charging a fee,disgusting.
canDarian, 12 Jan 2010
This goes against everything that is Canadian and everything that I was brought up on,I know you hsve a right to make money off of the video but it doesn't make it right,and we all know it. This video isn't yours it's Canada's and every person that loves Canada.
