my skin crawled and I started scratching my back when I read that .... also, I can't wait to get back to my cottage in the north Ontar-i-o.
As an Indigenous person who grew up in the north ... skimming off the bugs from your hot cup of tea in the wilderness was a completely normal thing growing up.
... and the Logdriver's Waltz was a fun tune when I saw it as a kid ... and I appreciated it even more when I met my wife's family who were all from the Ottawa valley and had come from the log driving culture a hundred years ago.
The song they loved was the Log Driver Song ... here's a modernized version of it by Mac Beatty ... https://youtu.be/UnKmPCrqYDE

The Log Driver's Waltz
I love all the old stuff that was on kids television in the 90s, but one of the NFBs more recent projects really suck out to me. Carts of Darkness.
Murray Siple's feature-length documentary follows a group of homeless men who have combined bottle picking with the extreme sport of racing shopping carts down the steep hills of North Vancouver. This subculture shows that street life is much more than the stereotypes portrayed in mainstream media.
The film takes a deep look into the lives of the men who race carts, the adversity they face and the appeal of cart racing despite the risk. Shot in high-definition and featuring tracks from Black Mountain, Ladyhawk, Vetiver, Bison, and Alan Boyd of Little Sparta.

Yep, I've been there before! I'm American and I used to watch the shorts on there and on the app.
oh that's easy https://www.nfb.ca/film/neighbours_voisins/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_aSowDUUaY
Trivia moment: The original version of the music video for Rest In Peace by Extreme had segments shot in a very similar fashion, but evidently it was too similar. Since they didn't have permission beforehand they had to pull that version of the video from broadcast and replace it with this version.
A mockumentary called Stupidity from 2003, by the Documentary channel, which the NFB was a part of.
Well letβs test how bad my French is (I donβt know much, if any)
Quoi est lβONF? β¦. Please donβt answer in french
Using the English words for the French, it's
Office National of Film
Sounds like good French to me. Just another name for the National FIlm Board of Canada.

Pimp ma botte par Marc Daigle; we watched it back in grade 9 French class and it's always stuck with me.
