You mean there's no global warming? Al Gore lied to us?

Gorgeous. And sort of like a trailer for The Day After Tomorrow.

Really cool video. I'm totally going to have to take a ferry ride over the holidays this year with my time off. They're still running them, right?

Its a nice video but really reinforces alot of the stereotypes people have about Canada.
Cold & Icy.

Cool video. If for no other reason than it shows how cold it is in the city in February.

Beautiful... great idea - I wish people captured more winter shots of Toronto like this (but speaking from experience, it's hard on the fingers)

Almost expected to see a March of the Emperors, I mean, Penguins going across the ice flows.

very beautiful, but the music is overwrought.

Should we pretend that ice and snow and cold don't exist? I don't think Toronto, Canada being perceived as cold is a stereotype... it's a cold, harsh reality! :)

VERY VERY NICE

I'd love the camera to be even closer to the surface of the water can you go shoot that? Thanks man.

A little ostentatious wouldn't you say? I mean, it's HD so it's obviously kinda pretty to look at... but kind of insane with the soundtrack, wouldn't you say?
