60 YEARS AGO ::: HOLLYWOOD COMES TO PICKERING … filming a winter episode of "HAWKEYE AND THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS" along West Duffins Creek

.

YOU ARE NEVER, NEVER, never… going to see a TV series like this, again. Ever.

 

HAWKEYE and CHINGACHGOOK turn a young, reckless, self-destructive man, away from his self-hate, with that disarming easy manner of theirs.

 

First with that, and then, by giving him a second chance.

 

"Young brave, not have right, to throw away life."

 

"Life belong to tribe."

 

Contrast these wise words of Chingachgook, with today's fickle, trendy, suicide encouragement cheerleaders across the globe.

 

You know what I'm talkin' about.

 

Think Belgium where the elderly and the mentally ill, can be forcibly euthanized for organ harvesting and/or to save healthcare dollars. Euthanasia is being 'normalized' there and in other western countries by a very subtle form of grand social engineering (secular human utilitarianism) whereby unelected elites who aren't concerned about your granny, can, and will make very direct decisions about her ongoing longevity in the near future, here in Canada the good.

 

Recently, an alcoholic in Europe, chose doctor-assisted suicide because, well, he was an alcoholic! A very treatable condition.

 

He shouldn't even have that option available.

 

This people-are-disposable mentality flies in the face of thousands of years of Western culture, Jewish and Christian religiosity, and certainly Hawkeye and Chingachgook's worldview. A worldview that continues on into eternity by the way. Higher intelligence, it seems, can always find ways to rationalize the most abhorrent practices in contemporary society. Eggheads are better suited to dehumanization than are red-blooded frontiersmen, and are thus able to separate emotions from actions. Elitists are able to do the mostly ghastly things, wipe their mouths, and ask shocked onlookers, "What's wrong?"

 

'nuff said.

 

This Pickering winter scene was filmed in an ACTUAL CANADIAN WINTER (which was brutal on the oil used in those large, ancient, movie cameras, back in the day — which would really freeze up)… because that's the way real men did things back then.

 

Real winter filming was harsh. Outside it was whip-snap cold.

 

They liked it. They loved it!

 

Today people use the walking trails alongside the West Duffins Creek (in Pickering) WITHOUT REALIZING they are on, and walking through, the former site of this FAMOUS 50s CLASSIC TV series.

 

No idea, not a clue…

 

Yet, Canada's HOLLYWOOD NORTH industry began right here.

 

Ground Zero or, rather, SET ZERO.

 

REMEMBER, THIS TRIP BACK IN TIME was helped along because of the great research efforts of others, and the 'Hawkeye' fanship of others.

 

I learned that "Hawkeye", one of my fav boyhood TV shows, was actually filmed in CANADA through one of the links below.

 

So I had to check things out (go there), MYSELF, because of that.

 

So, do check out these "Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans" links below!
