Defend this nation from external threats. Start firing!!!!

bunch of fuckin idiots, why would you come to canada? At least in the states they enforce laws and let everyone defend themselves with guns. All we got here are homeless camps and frozen wastelands. Way to make this place even shittier. Personally I'd rather chill on a beach in mexico than deal with the homeless scumbags here. Even the whites here are either race traitors, bleeding hearts, or worthless drug addicts. This is not a good place to be.

Well Canada is a great country, my grand parents were able to get here in 1957 with their 3 kids, after going through and surviving WWII, work in Europe was scarce and employers were abusing their workers everywhere. My dad was one of those 3 children's, he met my mother here, they had me and my sister. Today i have 3 boys of my own and my sister has 2 girls. Canada has any country as their plusses and minuses, but i wouldn't live anywhere else. I've lived my whole life on the south shore of Montréal, worked in and around Montréal for 35 years. Never ran out of work as long as i was willing and able to work. I've worked in all my life, 65% immigrants and 35% Québecer's. There both are kinda racists in some way and they have there own reasons as well. I was bullied in school till i was 11 years old, i had an accent and dressed differently since my dad made our clothing. Being ridiculed, pushed, punched etc, and then one day the bully of the school approached me and wanted to fight me. I was scared, everyone else were laughing, so i clenched my fist and punched that kid right on the nose. Everyone got quiet and the principal came out, we went to his office and then he asked me straight away : Are you gonna do this again or was it a one time thing ?? I said it will be one time thing unless someone else wants to fight me again, then i will have to defend myself again. He said ok and now go back to class, and that was that. But in the 1970's with the augmentation of people moving here after WWII, people in Canada were scared immigrants would steal their jobs etc. My grand father worked all his life till he died at 82 years old. Worked 6 days a week, 12 to 16 hours a day. My dad had worked all his life 70 hours a week and sometimes 85 hours a week. People complaining about doctors or hospitals, a lot are going in for a cold, the flu, headaches etc, for sure take 2 aspirin or tylenol and stay home, no need to see a doctor for that. If you have a broken limb or were in an accident, you go right in and get fixed up without issue really. Any country as it's inconveniences in the end ?

im a canadian living in toronto, and been here most of my 65 years and believe me it has changed not for the better but worse country to raise a family. government care more about the criminals than hard working people. if you try to defend yourself here at your property you will be charged . we have a government run by a dictator and because he has a famous name he gets a free ride on lying and cheating by the mainstream media of a well establish liberal newspaper . people dont feel safe going out downtown toronto once a safe and vibrant city but destroyed by the woke crowd and left leaning politicians.

This is such a heartfelt and honest video. Good job man! But I would expect immigrants from the UK or Asia in Australia to strongly defend their choice ? Weather-wise, Australia beats Canada — maternity leave-wise, Canada beats Australia hands down. Australia is pretty isolated compared to Canada …mostly because Canada is next to the USA. Australia is overpriced in terms of groceries etc. and the extreme weather in Canada makes life expensive. Many Canadians move to the US for a reason. Australia is terrible with family reunions and visas for parents etc. There is a reason over 1 million Aussies prefer to live and work elsewhere — including myself — I was fortunate enough to get my PR in the US.

I just want point out the income and hate crime stats don’t necessarily prove any racism, a lot of immigrants end up making less money as there is already a lot of competition in the industry already and companies prefer experience in Canada itself, and the hate crime stats don’t prove much either as there will always be some racist people anywhere (and they are rarely race to their home country) so obviously the biggest minorities (the ones on the chart) will be more prone to hate crimes basically regardless of the amount of racism or the location\n (I’m not defending racism just pointing out facts)

Hats off to the lady who intervened and defended the victim. Merci!

My religion permits me to carry a Bazooka as a symbol of peace, to defend the weak.. Can i carry my bazooka to school?

The media interviews 3 crazy guys who play religious police and the comments are filled with hate speech and conspiracy theories about how Muslims (who can’t even defend their own countries and mostly live a life of poverty) are going to establish Sharia law in Europa. I swear you people as paranoid and deceitful as the Nazi were back then and I don’t hope you try to do the same things again.

I love Canada. It's fantastic that we don't have to worry about safety. One thing I do like about America is that you have the right to defend your home with as much force as you want. In Canada it can be difficult to defend yourself because they can make the claim that you used too much force to remove someone. I think that's bs. If you're in my house without my consent, I should be able to do whatever I want to get you out. It's my house.

The other thing America has over us, is the ability to defend ourselves. If someone breaks into my house, murders me, then slips and falls in my driveway while carrying my tv, they can probably sue my estate and win because my driveway was slippery

You guys are out of touch. Not sure where you live but Ontario is less safe than the US in my opinion, and it correlates with the lack of self defense/firearms rights. Our population is 10x less and many urban areas aren't as densely populated as their American counterparts, so of course crime rates will be lower. That doesn't mean they're not still significant and rising at alarming rates. You can't even use your registered firearm to legally protect your home, let alone us pepper spray to defend yourself from a rapist. People are given the illusion of being safer, when in reality they are extremely vulnerable and defenseless.

?I'm American, grew up next to Canada and have worked in Europe for years. This conversation is about 90% bullshit - these places are essentially the same. They all have fast food. They all have their own crime issues and transportation issues. Their health care systems are all dysfunctional, all complained about and ranted against _constantly,_ until they have to be stubbornly defended against criticism by some foreigner for egotistical, xenophobic reasons. Not one of them is measurably better or worse than any of the others. It's all a lot of self-important fucking nonsense.

I'd rather live in a country where I have the 2A and the right to defend myself. Also, how do you have a hard time getting good food in the states. Y'all are nuts. There are plenty of spots. Just clean your eyes. lol ? love your content \n✌️????

To Enjoy no right to defend yourself and no right to free speech under the guise of people being polite

This might just be me. But no way I'm moving to a country where you can't use a firearm to defend yourself or your property. Also I'm not getting the klot shot. I'd rather die. Shout outs to my fellow purebloods!

I only speak Ukrainian. I am using google translator. Therefore, please excuse me if the translation is bad! I am from Western Ukraine. I am a nurse and I save lives. I live now in Germany. I need a lawyer to file, with other disabled citizens of Ukraine, a lawsuit against Norway. My husband, a Ukrainian (oil worker, human rights activist) became disabled as a result of his defense of the rights of other people (Norwegian and Russian media for 9 years). My husband fought corruption in the Russian oil giant, which was headed by the founder of the 6th Directorate of the FSB and the ex-Chancellor of Germany. My husband defended the rights of disabled people and Ukrainians in Norway against Russian-speaking citizens of this NATO country. The Norwegians took my disabled husband to Moscow AFTER: anti-war pickets of my husband in the Russian Federation, his defense of the rights of Ukrainians in Norway, the issuance of documents to my husband by the Norwegian Red Cross for his close relatives (Polish servicemen repressed by the Russians), sentencing his defender to prison (in married to a citizen of Finland for 25 years) in Belarus, who reported the crime of the Norwegians against the Ukrainians and was recognized as a Political prisoner. My husband and his lawyer warned the Norwegians about the coming war, but they did not believe him. The husband was kidnapped and the war began. And after the war began, the Norwegians do NOT admit their mistakes! Unlike the Swedes, the Norwegians DO NOT LIKE to admit their mistakes even when the Chechen refugees deported by the Norwegians were killed in the Russian Federation (Norwegian media).df

manitoba sucks, lived here 32 years.\n\npeople who defend it have some serious stockholm syndrome.\n\nI was born here, whats your excuse?

A lot of Sikhs conceal carry guns in the USA, because it is a more effective weapon to defend the innocent than a kripan.

Canada is cool and all but bruh you can't defend yourself here what so ever without being publicly hung or some crazy ish literally home intruder in Canada is a mf guest to the Canadian government

The descendents of the people who built Canada, who fought and died defending Canada have no future in Canada....God help us all.

Why are there so many people defending him?!

Pay close attention to what the neighbour did. She saw her neighbour, who couldn’t speak French being harassed. She used her French ability to defend her neighbour. This is what being a neighbour and being an ally look like.

I’m not defending the government in any way, but it’s easy to come into Canada with false credentials and shady people have done it, so the honest, hard working people are paying the price for that. I feel for them, but it’s very difficult for an employer to have to “weed out” someone who gave them a fake Electrician’s Licence for example. And it’s dangerous to simply take someone’s word for it who claims to be an experienced Surgeon. A coworker of mine told us about a place in the Philippines where they will sell you a counterfeit diploma from any University you choose. So ya, it is what it is.

Ok, as a Saskatchewanian, going to have defend my prairie home a bit. The crime statistics always bug me because we get labelled high crime in some places. Except those stats go off per 100,000 people so with a population of only 1.18 million the numbers are slightly bias. Ok rant over. But total true about the cold...we've been colder then Antarctica and even Mars some winter days.

3:14 \nIslam and communism is a dangerous ideology.\nWatch YouTube channel named 'Apostate Profet' for knowing the truth. \n\nNote: \nI am not anti-Muslim. I am just anti-Islam.\nThere is a difference between Islam (Ideology) and it's follower (Muslim). \n\nMost muslims are just normal people because they don't know the ideology in detail. They are just Muslim because they were born in Muslim family, they just recite Quran (which they don't understand, do prayers etc) just like a ritual without having the in depth knowledge of the Islam. They just feel that their identity is attached to Islam, so whenever someone attacks Islam they feel the urge to defend it.\n\nBut few Muslim who do in dept reading and follows actual Islam are radical like ISIS.\nWhich is very dangerous for liberal society.\n\nThe common perception which forms in the mind of westerners is that, 'Islam is good but some people interpret it in little strict way and get radicalised. Those few people are the problem and not Islam'.\n\nI am very sorry, but this perception is very wrong. The truth is Islam is dangerous, and few people who are joining ISIS and other groups are just following their relegion.\n\nWe need to counter this ideology.\nAnd now people will accuse me Islamophobia. \nYes I am Islamaphobe, because I know about this ideology.\nYou never sought Comunist phobia, then why this.

Sikhism is a religion created to defend Muslim rule in India, two sikh gurus were brutally killed by muslim rulers of India.

Okay ik Manitoba isn't great, but I didn't think it would be 10th lol... but like I can't even defend it at this point?

Its been 25 days since war came to Ukraine. Every day civil people and children die under missile attacks. At the same time American companies like Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Citibank continue their operations in russia sponsoring the war and making money on the blood of innocent Ukrainians. Help us convince them to wind down any operations in Russia. Stop paying taxes and sponsor their army! \nSpeak up, contact your authorities, refer to your politicians, convince them to give Ukraine full military support and increase economic blockade for russia. Help Ukraine defend themselves.

Infrastructure, health care , weather Are all factors that make Canada behind other nations . Its hard to defend it if its worst in almost all aspects.

BJP IT CELL DALALS DEFENDING MODI SARKAR DISASTER

Absolutely Brilliant, You had us rolling with laugher. We watched, prepared to defend, what will they say about our country, then you totally disarmed us.\nWell done\nCheers from Toronto

So here's my take after reading most of the comments. You can tell who is trying to defend their province...it's almost juvenile. Honestly every province has it's good traits and bad. It's all in your perspective.

People in this comment section are defending each others country, I mean like why??, don't we all know that racism is everywhere like no matter where you go, you will find at least 1 person who is narrow minded\nAnd that's a freaking true!!

You are biased man dont defend christianity of canada you man. If canada is so good then why this incident happened Mr.

lost 2014 navy seals couldn't defend.

Don’t be surprised when Filipinos will rise and defend themselves. Then what happens? Filipinos will be charged for defending themselves?

2 brothers? Way to stick up and defend your sister there guys.

I love how everyone here responds the way the media wants you to respond. The headline could be ' a guy defending himself.' Or 'Fear turns to violence.' Etc

The new Sikh is a Muslim no doubt safer for them I never see them defend the Hindu anymore ..

The moment you don't stand up to defend someone who needs it is a defining moment, your life has brought you to that point and you have the chance to do something meaningful and if you don't do it whatever you do after that doesn't matter. Go do your shopping, watch a movie, live your life but know that it's pointless. Thank God we don't live in a time where there is much war, so you won't get to save someone's life, or do something heroic. The most you can do is stand up for the little injustices you see on your path

Just like the police, those store workers spent so much time focused on who they think will steal, they miss the people actually stealing. They focus on a certain group, therefore they have more opportunity of finding criminal activity within that group. Then later use that same data to defend why they focus their attention on that one group.

A society where people are not allowed to carry any tools to defend themselves. The police didnt even get there a day later. what a joke. The police will protect you they say. This lady could have gotten hurt or even killed. Canada is a joke. Asians here in the US are all carrying defensive tools such as pepper spray and firearms. Our right to defend ourselves has not been infringed by a tyrannical government like the one you have in Canada.

Defund police. So defend yourself

I mean racism is probably a big problem in canada..\n'But as a whole I think on the defund the police I think this is a one sided piece that didnt portray any defense of the police only criticism, in good journalism you need to let someone defend themselves and bring their perspective, this type of journalism is what you get if you have a ideologically possessed 23 year old fresh out of left wing college.. Perhaps learn real journalism try to portray facts not oppinions formost.. Journalism on a news outlet like this isn't supposed to be activicism but objectively portraying facts, and also doing interviews with people with different perspective.. Like perhaps interview Jordan Peterson and let him say stuff about group-politics actually agitating people and causing more conflict and more harm than healing..

Sorry this happened to you Patricia.\nYou stand your ground, don't let nobody intimidate you. Learn to defend yourself. ???

Learn to defend yourself. What rock do these people live under thinking planet earth is a peaceful place? History books are free online, they're ancient warning signs telling you to be prepared. Nope, they just ignore the sharks, no swimming sign and go swim anyways.

Guys before saying racist comments . Remember that refugees and immigrants help built this country , we love and defend this country just like you . God bless Canada .

The couple that standed to defend her made me emotional. I am from ??. A lot of racism here as well.

i am native american/irish my best friends were the black basket ball players they defend me anytime.
