The post war half of the 20th had a depressing aesthetic. Soulless boom. But it also had a feel. It had a a vision for how to build. A vision I personally find depressing but a vision none the less.

The pictures look pretty modern too. It was also the start of the computer era.

"Canada" not too far away

I think you mean South Vancouver

"Canada" was more British back then. At least Vancouver wasn't Hong Kong 2.0 until the late '90s.

Was their accent much more different to the American one in the 50s?

Idk. Yeah, on the TV it seems people spoke differently back then due to the Midatlantic accent but I think the differences are mostly the same with our compatriots up north raising their vowels.

There was British Canada and before French Canada. Both cultures have left their influence and mark on Canada

I don't live in Seattle. Was just searching for old pics and happened to stumble on this Flickr gallery of retro skyline pics:
