Since I'm not Canadian


Which cities did Buster go through or past? I'm sure this was meant to be an enticement for people to visit Canada, but, for the most part, you don't see much that is interesting - a few towns and cities, a lot of railroad tracks, then finally some mountains before getting to the Pacific Ocean - and not the most scenic area of the Pacific Ocean.

As a short film to get people to visit Canada, I can see how this might (most likely) fail. It's not Buster's fault - he managed to do quite a bit in the limited space he was given to work in (and considering his age - after all, this is about 50 years before his earliest work on film), but, for the most part, all we see is the limited space one would see on a train that never stopped.
