Shame on you YouTube smh ! !!! I’m responding to the video of an innocent bystander being harassed & I defended him !! This is a crime ?!?? Was I suppose to roll over and meow … Absolutely ridiculous !!!!!

I'm from Asia and recently moved to Canada with my family to live a slower-paced and safer life. I've seen firsthand that the drug problem here is worse than it was back home, and they're being coddled with no plans to discipline or rehabilitate them. I asked my friends how I could defend myself and my family if a random drug addict broke into our house and stole our belongings; could I at least beat that person up until the police arrived? They said you couldn't because you'd be charged with assault. It's funny. \n\nApart from the crimes and exorbitant living costs despite living in a rural area, even Canadians who have lived in the country since birth are struggling to make ends meet. \n\nSome positive comments, Canada provided me with a work-life balance that was not possible in Asia due to the competitive nature of the corporate world. So I had time to spend with my family, and you don't have to travel abroad to see beautiful scenery. Canadians are also very accommodating and friendly, in contrast to where I came from, where people will not help unless it benefits them as well. The Canadians here are extremely friendly. So Canada is great because of its people, but I can tell you that the government consistently makes bad decisions about how to solve certain problems, such as drugs and harm reduction strategies. Another issue is that they do not recognize internationally trained professionals, which could have helped alleviate healthcare issues in our area, where we have many internationally trained nurses from the Philippines working as restaurant servers and janitors. We have doctors from Kenya who have to work as general laborers and in other odd jobs where they can use their profession and experience to help people. I am also an immigrant, but the government should strategically distribute us based on our qualifications. I chose a rural area because I don't want to add to the number of immigrants in big cities and instead want to contribute to the local economy by bringing my skills and experience to the pool. \n\nCanada is a wonderful country, and I continue to believe so, but the government must reward and do more for its people who are trying their best to make this country great.

I live in downtown Toronto and were being attacked 20 to 60 times a day from fire truck and ambulances horns and sirens\nTheir horns and sirens are meant for highways not residental communities with schools churchs and senior's \n\nThey started 2 year ago after the vaccines \nThey use their sirens betwern 10pm.and 8am and keep us up all night\nSome crazy group said sleep is not a human right when it is\n\nSleep\nFood\nClothing \nShelter\nAll a human right\nWithout it a person will die\n\nPlease help us get a lawyer \n\nAll lawyers said they wont defend us\n\nPlease get us a lawyer\nSleep is a human right\n\nPlease help us before they do the same to you or your loved ones or people in other countries do it to your loved ones

U.s citizens defend your country. There are no laws. It's personal survival

Canada sucks more. Guaranteed. I would know. I'm Canadian. Canada is National Socialist, like Germany 75 years ago. Our doctors are fired because they disagree with the government. I don't have healthcare because my doctor is terrible. We get our healthcare from the Americans, then the government takes a dump on it and tries to feed it to us like cornflakes. I wish I had the money to be nationless. Democrats are turning America into another dump like Canada. Warning: stop voting for the left. They're not on your side. They're in it for themselves. That's why they don't want you to have guns, like Canada. So the government can just step on you, and you have no rights to defend yourself. Just like Sucky Canada.

Correction: #Vancouverriots of 1907 were NOT only against #Punjabis \nThere were two major creeds : #Chinese #Japanese too\nPunjabis defended themselves well and attackers flee - as most of punjabis were ex soldiers and they were having firarms and knew pretty well to use them. \nJapanese were banned and for many years there was no immigration from japan.

Canada is a great country if you wanna be a dependent slave to the government. No guns, free speech is policed and your children can be taken away if you dont agree with them taking hormones and having their genitals mutilated. America isnt perfect but id rather the US then living in a country run by far left wing idiots. Also Canadian healthcare is very overrated. Sure its free but you might die waiting for life saving treatments because the government doesnt want to allow any form of private healthcare if its already “provided” by the government. Most of the gun violence in the US is in the lower income neighborhoods and at least you’re allowed to defend yourself. In Canada if you defend yourself, straight to jail. If you have evidence of self defense youll be ruined by the legal fees. Its sad, Canada used to be great but after 8 years of terrible liberal economic policies the prices have skyrocketed and now canadian kids are being told they’ll never own a house. Who would want to stay here? Most canadians dont care though, as long as they get to smoke their pot they’ll always remain complacent.

Past time to call out the troupes, we are being invaded and have the right to defend our borders

The Democrats want these people here to vote.\n\nEvery piece of sh!t that voted for Biden a responsible.\n\nEvery newscaster repeatedly defending him is responsible.

One of violent foreign country tries to invade your border you have the right to defend your border including shooting such such trespassers of the country open fire boys it's about time to shut down the border and that's my opinion and what needs to be

When your border is attacked you defend it by either subduing or eliminating the threat.

Then Why Canada did not defend Osama bin Laden? Deluded liberals ???

But what about the gun ban. I guess this goes to show that gun control doesn't stop criminals and law breakers. Shame he didn't have a gun to defend himself.

Why do small children sitting on the street with homeless adults? This is unacceptable. Where are Orphanages? Children must be defending by Government. Stop sending money around the world. Take care of your own children first. How people can enjoy walking in the park full of homeless people? Unbelievable.

Mr President do your job and protect the country from invaders otherwise you will be arrested for treason! When unallied units swarm your borders u need to use force to defend your countrymen from having their tax dollars providing for non citizens. Get back to work mr president!

The problem is that the government LIED and created FAKE homeless programs for people who are NOT really homeless in their own HOMELAND. No one is HOMELESS in their HOMELAND. Its GENTRIFICATION, OSTRICIZATION and DISPLACEMENT but NEVER homeless. Indoligenous Americans INHERIT this land and we will DEFEND.

British are fools. Muslims are taking over their country. They are still trying to defend them thinking Muslims are victims. Muslim people have been successful throughout history in calling themselves victims. Non Muslims historically have been suckers of this drama.

Looks to me it’s a matter of time we will be flying a different flag if there isn’t any real Americans left to defend her ! Sad ??fk Joe Biden

THIS IS AN INVASION OF A VIOLENT NATION!!!! WHY CAN'T WE DEFEND THE COUNTRY ????

How do you want us to go fix our own country when those in power are backed up by the same country you defend. Do you think it's easy to just bring the people together and fix our economy? It takes support and the US only supports those who are oppressors because it saves them more money. The only reason the president of El Salvador is making huge changes is because he is getting support from China.

Defend your country and yourselves against criminal migrants with 2A

Ironic. I bet if there was a shooting on campus this Sikh student would no doubt use his kirpan to try to take out the shooter. Weapons laws do nothing to stop bad guys who could just as easily run a van into a crowd, but they stop others from being able to defend themselves.

U.S. citizens have every right to go to that border and spray bullets to defend our country. This is an invasion..

Its an invasion force we the people need to take our country back put up our walls and deal with our own till thats solved close the borders defend them

The government should make a law Any person who wants entryway and citizenship and is between the age of 18-35 serve in the USA armed forces. Defend and Earn the citizenship thru Allegence to USA. ??????✌️

This is the fault of the Biden Administration. If they had done their Constitutional job of defending our southern boarder, all these Venezuelians wouldn't be rushing to get in. They waisted the trip to come all this way. \n But considering what happened to them 4 years ago, I say they have more of a right to apply for asylum than those from Mexico.

If only they had 100 billion dollars do defend their borders instead of giving that money to Ukraine

Sorry Ass Biden defending Ukraine but can't defend our own Borders....TRUMP WE NEED YOU NOW!!!!

What was he expecting white folks will be cool with a brown immigrant carrying a knife around. Respect the rules of the institution, this is not like India, where Sikhs brandish knives around. These folks have gone from being defenders of India to spoiling India’s brand.

Oh no it’s not the mass amount of migrants that are boosting inflation and prices because of the amount of illegals flooding in, it’s disgusting to even defend coming into the us illegally

Canada has become a stupid country! Giving immigrants everything free! While Canadian citizens and Veteran's that defended this country pay high taxes and are abused by the government!\nWe should all stop paying taxes!

Why do they want to come here? Have they seen California? Our president can barley put two sentences together and when he can he’s defending his coke head son. Shit, a little shack selling coconuts on a beach in Mexico sounds great right about now.

Sounds like citizens need to start defending that border.\nOur federal government sucks and is way to big

Can immigration abroad apply for study Visa on your behalf and how are they going to defend home tie

it's an invasion, act of war. American citizens should defend its border since the federal government isn't doing its job.

Here’s the thing, you are like a fish that is unaware that it is immersed in water. You defend the States in a way an abuse victim thinks what they are experiencing is normal. Trust me when I say people living outside the U.S. (even ex-pat Americans) look at your country with horror even while appreciating visiting your sights or admiring certain customs. You are inured by the conditions in which you live. You are defending your country without being aware that it really could be quite different and many things you see as normal are only ‘normal’ in the States but are actually quite awful. I suggest living abroad to see your country the way the rest of us do. I believe it’ll be quite an awakening.

Yes, of course, although Canadian views can be true sometimes. Yet, we cannot defend our own Country as you can. That alone makes us ' nice'. We have to be.\nDo you see realness vs manipulation here, even for/against ourselves?\n Not to mention a new thing I've learned through an American. Homeownership & land rights. We have something called mineral rights. Ownership of land under homes is unknown sometimes I am sure. No wonder the government can just get rid of people (paying something of course) off their land.\nIf we considered North America as a whole, America would be the male of the 2 countries. Kinda weird but a vague thought. \nWith all the immigration I am beginning to feel like a stranger in my own country. Dealing with it but, they are not the only ones feeling stress. \n\nIt's hard for anyone to move though when family is important to you.\nBlessings

So shameful. We should be more aggressive when I comes to defending if you know what I mean

At some point these people have to help themselves. If your a man in Mexico or South America it's time you grow a sack and defend your women and children and stop these cartels

This is no different then a invasion from another country! Why are we not shutting the border down and if they cross like this it is the same as war so defend the border like war! If you come legally then I say welcome!!

Anyone who defends her is a piece of shit

americans should be lining up and defending their country without the gov

The gun culture is insane, i would never move to the states, i do not wish to be shot. I would never visit the states for any reason.\nEdit, Canadians HAVE guns. My 63 year old mother in law bought a shot gun for her hikes, cuz bears and cougars. Grandpa is a marksman and at age 87 STILL competes in shooting competitions and regularly wins.\nThe problem is how Americans FEEL about guns. They are toys, they are something they are entitled to.\nAmericans are armed, ready, and just WAITING to use their guns on an intruder to defend themselves.

Defend the borders with force and you won't have this problem

Start defending

Canuks think about gun violnce because of the media propaganda.\nThey never hear about the daily shootings and stabbing here.\nIn calgary, a dude stabbed ten people. We have woman being pushed on subway tracks. At least in the states you are allowed to defend yourself. \nCanuks are lambs waiting for the wolf.

Nope ..never !!\nLove my American friends and loads about your country . For me it is your GUN CULTURE , this facko right to defend ones self ? !! PS : health care is free for most stuff here but sadly there are areas that are never diiscussed ... extensive treatments fir certain diseases or proceedures .. so sadly wd are not as protected as most think.

These useless egoistic men should be ashamed look at him defending his daughter but look at the impression he has made on his daughter , money doesn’t bring class , men like this should be thrown out of the plane, also the way he is shouting at the air hostesses like bruh you don’t pay them to work their their company does , go show your behaviour to your mom ?

Was an absolute NO for me most of my life until Justin Trudeau came along and if the opportunity presented itself I would of jumped on it until Biden but if it came down to it I think I would move to USA. People here think the health care is great but it's not and it's getting worse and I've seen the care deteriorate over the decades. If you want true medical care you pay a private health practitioner. I actually like that Americans have the right to defend themselves and carry a firearm. Canadians today have been so gaslighted and I think that is the reason for a lot of the negative responses because when winter hits they flock in droves to the US.

HUURR DUUURRR insurance through job. Moron. Health issues frequently lead to employers firing you. Which kills your insurance. Which bankrupts you. Your system is dumb, stop defending it, stop accepting it.
