I like guns, guns are cool, rip those schools tho

I live just outside of Montreal, pretty near the border. One of my good friends used to live in Vermont, right near the border and we would visit each other several times a year. She moved to Tennessee, and I flew down to visit her a few years ago (haven't been down since COVID) while Trump was still president and I'm not even joking when I say that as soon as I left Nashville I was highly anxious 100% of my time there. And I'm white, I'm not a visible minority, I suppose if I kept my mouth shut nobody could tell I'm not from there, it really hit me how sad it is that I even felt that. All these patriotic gun toting Americans I feared would shoot me for whatever reason they could come up with. I understand that that's not ACTUALLY likely, I was glad I left my husband and children at home, and while I enjoyed my weekend there I couldn't WAIT to get back home. New England was easier to handle, but I'm not cut out for the openly racist, homophobic, anti women's rights, you name it kind of discussions. I was horrified that not only do people ACTUALLY think like this, but those who are being oppressed, or those who simply support those being oppressed are having to keep quiet for fear of being murdered because of this. Nashville was really cool, I loved it, but I truly feared for my safety outside of the city, despite being a straight white woman. I can't imagine what it's like for the minorities, it's so sad. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that you're just numb to it, because being on the outside looking in, it's hard to believe what's actually going on, it looks as though the country is regressing,

I'm Canadian and no way in hell would I ever live in the US. Sure, there may be cool places and stuff, but 1. no way would I give up the healthcare. 2. I'm disabled and in a wheelchair so can't offer anything work-related which would mean no health insurance or $. It would be a very bad thing for me.

Why would anyone sane want to move from Canada which to be fair does have serious issues to a septic tank?. I mean from wealthcare to monster storms, lack of insurance, guns guns guns everywhere and of course the cool calm dulcet tones of politics whispering like the talk of angels. As Carlin said living in Canada is like living over a nation of crackheads. And this is all before the growing lack of *blue gold* the states is now noticing, and that will be brutal when that comes home to roost.

Americans have one cool thing that they like to tell us here in Canada we do not which is the right to defend oneself

As a Canadian I am jealous that you guys get to play with some really cool guns, but no I would never move the states lol

I have spina bifida and I’ve had 20+ surgeries. I’m not leaving a country that kept me out of bankruptcy and death and kept me from getting shot. I’m white, but I’m not playing Russian Roulette with my life. I just in the last few years discovered cannabis as relief for my chronic pain. I know there are some places where it’s legal, but it isn’t worth the risk for me. I remember visiting LA when I was 12 and hearing about how cool and hip Beverly Hills was. When I got there, it looked worse than the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, which is one of the poorest, most crime filled places in Canada. It was scary. That’s not the kind of “freedom” I’m looking for. You can’t exercise any freedom when you’re 6 feet under.

I’m a duel citizen but I was born and raised in Canada and I would say I have more of a Canadian mindset. There are many things that I like about the States even though I wouldn’t move there. A lot of Canadians like to go shopping and for vacation. I hope to one day explore the North West coast of the States. I know there is a lot of awesome nature. This year however I plan on exploring more of Canada as I haven’t seen as much of my own home. \n\nTyler, I hope you will be able to come and visit Canada. It’s a hidden gem and the exchange rate is pretty good for Americans. I think that would be a really cool video. ?

See we are loosing it to keep it cool these days everyone seems to be raging up every time such thing happens

Cool down giys

Man, africans are sooo cool.

They are running from the cartels that we (The USA) sponsor. \nWhy don't we send in the army to fuck up the cartels once and for all? \nWouldn't it be cool if our neighbor was prosperous too?

Bhai Hindi main argue karo... Seriously English Indians ko itna cool sound nahi karta. Especially serious mode main! ????

?? cool, thanks for the information

Water guns would at least cool them off

It is just that these people don’t know about the Sikh culture and it can be ignorance but we can’t go to a western country and not expect this t happen. This is not racism as they would think this can be dangerous. Respect to this Sikh man to keep his cool

Bringing guns and blazing on kids thats the cool part not this things

U cannot take a knife to college and flaunt it. Above all that expect people to be cool about it.

Thank God he did not refuse arrest but he kept his cool. Well done son. ????

They need to really stop this. This is not cool. We pay so much taxes and stuff and we barely get help from the government. This is not right. We need Trump back in office now.

Cool... better start learning spanish everyone.

I wonder if people regret twisting trumps words when he wanted to cull ILLEGAL immigration,and people made it out like he said all immigrates....clearly if this isn't offensive to you,you aren't an immigrant.cause no immigrant who spent years learning the language and history and went through the screening process,would be like yeah this is cool.

Where are all the cool microwave beams and lasers that disperse the crowd and make them shit their pants? Probably in Ukraine

Cool .. its nice to see both of u in vlogs .. keep it up ...aisha use to go mall daily ..???

Why only kirpan wear all punjabi traditional dress. I am telling you it is just for fashion. They think it's cool

Cool car... Sherry....

This is the first time I'm seeing Aisha API(cuz she's way older then me ) and she's cool and she's nice mashallah. She has a nice and soothing personality, not super extroverted but not at all an introvert, she seems like a nice person to be around, good to have her appearance in the videos ?

This is allowed to happen on purpose trust me. I am not sure why they are allowing it but they are. For all who thinks this is cool. Tell me what country can you go to and allow this to happen.

This is America. There is not one other country on earth. Literally they can just walk into and say it’s cool keep them out.

Why are they not opening fire? I'm not sorry for your situation as we have problems here too. If you want to act like fools charging the gates to our border, that is an act of war and should be treated as such. One warning shot would have made them stop. If they didn't stop you shoot one person. If that doesn't make them stop, you start taking ppl out. We need to protect our borders, protect them from criminals, drug mules, and the like. That means we need to do a background check before anyone can cross that border. Not letting them in, giving them a cell phone, giving them a place to live, not allowing them to work while they sit there waiting 2 years for a court date. Its beyond ridiculous and that is what the Democrats are doing. If you are cool with that, then you are an issue and should second guess your own citizenship in this country because we the people are always first, no one else. Our government has forgotten that for quite some time, but amazingly Trump actually was bringing it back. Thats coming from someone who hated Trump, voted for Biden, and regretted my vote in March of Biden getting in office.

I've been looking for work for years, they have taken over whole towns where I'm from, Im from Long island you boneheads, I had to leave my home, family, everything! Not cool Americans have to leave America to live like a American!

Being as though I know a few cool whites from\nCanada this hurts, my guy is not from the places she named, Shout out the Helkamaniac and MedManBrand from up yonder, they show a ni99a love fasho.

Thank you Biden very cool

Black Friday in the Middle of May? Must be an unseasonably cool beginning of Summer 2023! In Texas

Im saying this again, stop effin with whities! I don’t care if they cool, don’t trust none deal with none and work on your black family!!! They are mad as hell they can’t be us!!! Stay away from them, period

Now that is not cool.

In the 80s in Germany, they had this big truck, It had a cool water cannon. They used it to clear protesters from the street.

Cool, where's cheech

it would be pretty cool if immigration laws were relaxed like before 1875. before they started the immigration policies, nearly anyone could just show up at a harbor and be allowed into the land of opportunity to peruse the American Dream. That was pretty cool in my opinion.

cool. now show us the other 329 points of entry.

Bro is super cool ?

Canada has a housing crisis which is why we need 100k more immigrants every year. Thanks Trudeau, very cool.

Use razor wire instead of Constantino wire. And deploy the Active Denial System and the LRAD 24/7 Set up.50 cal water cooled machine guns between check points to take care of cartel scum.

I work for the provincial government (Ontario)\nI'm single but even though I have a good paying job, it's nearly impossible due to the crazy prices houses are (though now starting to cool off) and the high interest rate.

You invaded their country and benefited from their resources. This is your karma Americans for not speaking up for them. It was all cool when you were enjoying the benefit of your country destabilizing their country and stealing their resources but now that they r coming where their resources went you wanna cry ?

Why invest in a business when a literal doofus can just buy home and land and make many of my relatives made fortunes from “land trade”. \nReal estate and all its related jobs (agents, construction workers) is where a lot of Canadians work.\nAnd cooling the real estate market will affect a ton of those workers. \nAlthough a lot of this actually ignores one of the biggest issues. Our geography.\nSo much of Canada is cold and just an overall annoying place to live in that it’s simply less attractive for anyone to want to set up anything here.\nIt’s big, but a lot of useless land.

I’ve never been to Canada but it seems like a cool place with everyone intermingling. When I meet someone from a different background, the first thing I wanna know is what their soul food is. Probably cuz I’m greedy. ??‍♀️???

Nigerians seem like super cool happy go people!
