- Notes
- 1C: Various shopkeepers recount the reasons they are in Canada, the amount of time since their arrival, and their background in several takes before their shop windows. They are: Jacques Elharrar (?) of Boucherie Select (kosher), six years in Canada, 35 years old, occupation butcher; George Cohen, optician, ten years in Canada; Nissim Loeub of Loueb Jewelry and Watches, three years in Canada though he holds the honour of working for the Palace of Morocco in crafting swords for the king -- he holds an example of his craftsmanship - worked as a jeweller since 1935; Maurice Cohen, men's barber, ten years in Canada; Elefair (?) David, owner of a travel agency and combination women's hair salon for three years; Kahone Salomon, "epicier" in front of his shop, Market Kahone, specializing in Moroccan spices for eight years. 2C: Four merchants discuss how long they have been here and why they like Canada, how long they have had their shops, and their appreciation of Canada's liberty compared to their Moroccan past. Simplest and clearest statements of shop owners. Most of the other material loses sync sound, rambling, not particularly articulate.
