Correction if you have a PAL you can own restricted firearms i.e. handguns in Canada. I think gun control doesnt help canadians because most criminals obtain them illegally from the US. Meanwhile crime is going up in our major cities, especially car thefts and home invasions & we dont have laws to use self-defense to protect our homes, and the police wnats us to hand over our car keys to thiefs in contrasts to some US states where you can kill a tresspasser and not go to jail.

I was wondering how many Texans own guns .going by the population of texas .if a million texans own guns why aren't they at the border

You should abide by the rules of the uni or the country you’re in. Guns maybe allowed in that country but if any knife or sharp object hanging like that doesn’t fit into their rule, they have the right to call a cop on you. \n\nIn india the scene is reversed , sikhs wearing kirpan is normal, so they’ll not get arrested but if you have a gun then you’ll be. \n\nSo people just have to understand that different countries and places have different rules and we should follow them when in that country. The religion should never come in the way of

Carry a gun then u wouldn't get arrested.

A knife is a knife....my gun is holy to me but i cant walk around strapped in public...figure it out

Trudeau, the CBC, carbon tax, rising housing prices, persecution of gun owners.....

I don't whats the problem here, when you America allow for a person to own a gun what's the problem with bloody knife ...

I keep reading comments from Canadians saying, “I’m moving to America because Canada ?? is too expensive.” You all are in for a surprise! It’s expensive in America as well - and we have a gun violence problem on top of it. Plus, the outrageous cost of healthcare.

With increased crimes in college campuses, people can get alarmed looking at someone walking around with a knife hung around his neck! People who talk about guns also know that the person who called 911 would do the same when he/ she sees someone flaunting a gun in the campus.

I’ve certainly never heard a debate in Ontario whether Toronto is better than Ottawa—-the whole video is absurd and sophomoric—Canadian universities have many ‘internal’ students? You mean ‘international’? There are positive and negative aspects of living in every province—overall Canada has an exceptional standard of living without the gun violence and religious fanaticism of its neighbour to the south ??

Would never move to Florida or anywhere in USA reason 1) health care 2)Freedom I have never had people yell racial slurs at me from down the street and don’t get me started on the guns over there . 3)working rights YOU GET PAID vacations here in Canada YOU get paid maternity leave you get Paid sick days Worker rights gets taken more seriously in Canada Retail workers don’t work in a state holiday you get extra pay. Prejudice there is less of it here sure there are people that are jerks but it’s not full blown. There is a viral story about a grocery store that was left unlocked accidentally on a holiday and nothing was stolen . Politeness this is something I have a feeling that lots of people in Canada like to say thwy are on the service but tenth the service not so much . Look what happens during Covid all the niceness went out the door .

I like my guns

The gun comparison didn’t work because the same result would’ve happen if a non Sikh American had a gun

For some nations Canada turned into nightmare by spoof call attack. Many people died or killed. This kind of attack using impersonation by foreign country agents to target some people like me and many of my friends. Unfortunately most Asian and black and Latino people easily get fooled and used as a tool for attacker to target some people. Drug problem is another big issue in Canada and USA but fortunately gun violence is less than US. Healthcare getting worse everyday. Bad neighborhood experience which destroyed my health for life mostly because of spoof call attack. Bad policing which killed many innocent people. Woke laws and culture which marginalized men who are driving force of society. Very weird working experience. Work for yourself or get enslaved by another employer that's why people would love to work for government. Housing prices skyrocketing in big cities and there is no foreseeable future for its remedy. Cold weather for six month of year and at the end COVID force closure killed many of people and hospitalization was so bad. Anywhere there was no hospitalization people life were saved. There is no open market like many countries which are backed by government to buy goods in reasonable price for low income people. Very restricted laws for driver license. Life in Canada is far from normal kills you or make you disable for life without getting you paid. Now I disabled for couple of years and I'm outside of Canada and just my family saved my life because I couldn't work because of disability due to spoof call attack which cause severe peripheral neuropathy. Even there is no any protocol for this illness to get cured and forced me to see many MDs and cost me lots of money. Just stay away from Canada which is a nightmare and my sickness cost me not be able to protect my family and died because of that. Canada is a hell

When I visit America, I always just feel anxious about guns. I'm sure it's super rare to actually get shot and stuff, but it's always on my mind. I just can't imagine that theres probably tons of people with guns around. It makes me a lot more afraid of the poor areas, which I find are more extreme in general. This is the main reason. I am also a little uncomfortable with how the public school system is funded differently by area. I'm used to all schools having close to the same standards.

Regardless of culture rules of a country are that nations rules the same way when US citizens travel to other countries we can’t just bring our guns because of that nations laws

The US averages more than 1 school shooting per DAY. Tyler, you may say depending on the area, but in 2023 only 1 state (Wyoming) didn't register a school shooting. It is sad to hear you (the population) have become desensitized to it.\nGun culture bring us to gun laws which brings us back to politics and therein lies the problem.

This is going to backfire. The people illegally here are not going to adhere to woke-ism in anyway. The pendulum is going to swing like a Liberal at a gun rally.

I'm sorry but the United States is taking the number 1 position in crime everything is a rip off people can't pay their rent $2,000 a month is still a dangerous neighborhood.. But on the bright side guns are pretty available so you can protect yourself and hold your own ground. Genetically modified groceries are rip off but the cancer you get is for free.. delinquency rate on credit cards in Texas 25% and climbing rapidly.. The United States has become the leader of the new corporate communism... Brave New World.

Alberta is to Canada what Texas is to the USA. Lots of work in Alberta and conservative based. Saskatchewan is a little cheaper, but flat and cold. I was born in sk, but moved to Alberta in my teens and never looked back. So if you love guns, freedom, not so much government Alberta is your Provence

No mention of safety stats and high gun ownership?

I am Canadian and I was offered a live changing job opportunity and with the equity in my home at the moment my wife and I would of been able to by a 5000sq home with a swimming pool and palm trees but the thought of of my children going to school in the United States was a flare out no !! Absolutely not ! \nWhat parent would ever send there child to a school with such horrible gun violence. \nAnd it seems like American kids are behind the educational curve ask any random American youth on the street a simple question and there clueless about basic things unless it’s about bling bling and being flashy. \nAmerican is the Wild West

I live in America so I think I’m gonna be poor either way, plus there was a shooting at my college last year (we didn’t even get a day off btw ?) and yet guns are still so common around here it’s insane. I honestly just want to live anywhere but here. I want to study abroad so bad

Ni knives allowed. Only Guns are pemitted. ???

Well I know some sikhs used to carry the knife but not to harm others...\nbut the question is are the knives way more threatful than a gun??\n\nStill I respect the officer for ensuring safety..

Gatling guns have entered the chat

Simple people fight in front of public..complex People will just laugh will get him shot outside airport..from the world I come in I always believe the arguments and fights are normal healthy human behaviour and people who shouts confronts and argues are actually good people by heart…otherwise there is another world where guns speak more than words so people have to choose their words very carefully

So you went to Canada because it's America with Healthcare and no guns? Doesn't sound like much of an upgrade

No one holds a gun and makes anyone come here.. If you don't like it don't come, that's all.

by his logic, americans should be allowed to carry gun in india openly as its what they believe in.

Seriously just the last 6 months an officer was shot and killed,a woman was run over at a cross walk, driver did not stop,two people were shot outside a restraunt in their car,in a mall parking lot ,and thats just stuff I've heard about , dont even get me started on the machine gun shootings nearer the border in a family area and I live in a small city in Vancouver B.C. so that rules out low crime

My religion is the Matrix does this allow me to carry machine guns around?

Bro didn’t the memo, only guns are allowed not knives ? Knives just don’t do enough damage

Why is it that all mass shooters are put in the same category as all gun owners. Yet all illegals coming over borders are not all in the same category as prisoners/ criminals.

And the american tote guns! Knives are common with them ! What a sick culture

he brought a knife to a gun fight

In a country of guns. He is the dude with a knife and still got arrested ?

Carrying guns and knife is public is not allowed ........except with proper permission

As a Canadian, I can guarantee you the only citizens leaving Canada seem to exist in the comments sections of right wing click bait. Canadians don't like the US' expensive healthcare or the gun violence, and Britain is a sh*tshow with property prices that would make the average Canadian's eyes water and the highest rates of inflation in the G7. When you hear right wingers claim folks are leaving Canada, ask them where these folks are going to. Prepare for the crickets.

That's silly, I carry a knife and a gun at all times everyday everywhere..

Gun r allowed in American culture ?....next time you shd go with rifle or guns

You cannot blame cops, people usually carry guns in USA.

Because it isn't a free nation. Your bank account can be seized, your property and even your very liberty. This happened with the trucker protest, gun ban and throughout the plandemic. But those are only the overt examples. People are taxed and regulated into cages and poverty.

It is wrong to not let him practice his Religion. He was not harming anyone. And that was a Student, whom You made Criminal. That’s really sad. Sikhs are harmless and saviour. He follows his religion, which is why he openly carries it, which makes him the safest person to carry it. If he would have wanted to hurt anyone, he would have carried a gun than a religious knife. If someone wants to commit a crime, the person commits it and only after that police can do anything. But here there was no Crime going to happen and police caught an innocent person. Very sad

I am a US citizen and think of moving to Canada. Gun violence, homeless on the street, and migrants are hazard to live here. I went to Montreal last summer, staying in Travelodge near Old Montreal. Two nights stay cost me over $500 USD. It is really outrageous as I spent the same amount for a whole week on cruise, including room and all meals 4 years ago. I understand the inflation, but this same hotel usually charged me $200 US dollars in the summer. Now, Canada becomes un affordable to us. ?

No guns n knifes in college campus pls

It's funny. Guns are allowed to be carried in the US but knife carrying for religion is a problem ?

Why do we have border patrol if they don't protect our border? This is an invasion, pull out those guns and protect our country like your job title says.

According situation you don’t need therapy ,criminal is taking over best bet is to apply for GUN to protect you self ,now criminals coming to you dour and robing people ,the police are to occupy dealing with criminals Im 60 years in the Canada I never see that problem before.I sorry for police working harder than usual.
