Please tell me one time that someone took the kirpan and killed someone or stabbed someone ever? \nIf the UK and Canada and other counties have accepted it, what’s the big deal with America? \n\nYou guys want to argue and call it a knife, any student can bring a knife in their backpack. \nHow do you know that? Yet in America, all I hear on the news young teenagers walking in and doing mass shooting. Actually in America you can just go buy a gun anywhere. \n\nLike seriously? And you guys are worried of that?

This is America where guns are common and the country preaches the world about secularism and safety.

Why would you carry a knife?\nJust carry a gun like a normal citizen.\nPeople like you are responsible for lowering gun violence.\nYou should definitely be jailed

They got offended because he wasn't carrying a gun. That's what most Americans carry right?

Never bring a knife to a gun fight

It's an educational institution where knives,Guns, hijab should not be allowed or any religious symbols should not be allowed .

So a gun is acceptable but not a knife....murica moment

GOI should intervene. There has been a rise in hate against Indians since last few years. Indian Govt can't give US gov free Hand on this ant-semitism.\nKnife is banned in The Country of Guns.

Don't bring a knife to a gun fight

Lol when teachers and other staff can carry a gun then it's just an kirpan better than having drugs I guess.

Keep guns and knives out of educational institutes and public places. There was a reason and time when it was justified and valid reason but not anymore

What an attention seeker.\nMost of you are comparing it with a gun but a weapon is still weapon. There is a time and place for everything. Stop forcing people to accommodate every little aspects about your religion.

So you can conceal n carry gun but not a knife

Bringing Knife to a Gun fight ?

Gun is allowed but kirpan not?‍♂️??

The guy : officer James openly carries his gun on campus.\nOfficer: Carrying weapons is only allowed to white imperialist Christians anyone else is a terrorist

People in USA literally have gun for protection as well as for mass killing but this little kirpan is more dangerous to them

No knife no guns.

Why the f is he carrying a knife?\nA gun would be more reasonable...

if your religion tells you to carry a gun, ypu don't!

Kripan in today's era a formality, so better keep a smaller one just for the name. Otherwise like hijab-turban, someone else will say his/her religion permits or mandates to keep guns or bombs. ?

you can carry guns and not a knife ??

I know that knife is kirpaan and its your religious object but you creep sardar always use as weapon when you fighting with others. You creep people didn't think twice before using religious object. Police did great. How you feel any religion allowed you carry gun and they will roam with gun and shoot people in name of religion.

If I saw someone with knife or a gun I too would call cops on them. I am not waiting to find out if its religious.

So many schools and universities in US and public places/events face gun violence and mass shootings every year with thousands of innocents dying. No action by police in time. But hey there’s an Indian practising his religion peacefully, let’s get him!

I get it that's it a ritual. But what was his parents thinking when sending their son to educational institute with a knife?\n\nAnd he was ahowing it off like a goon could have hide it under his T-Shirt. And I wouldn't wanna be near someone carrying a gun or a knife without license cause one argument with him and I will be knocked cold.

He was in USA he should've bought a Gun

Yeah sure in country of guns knife is dangerous\n\nAmericans ☕

Wow people are literally allowed to carry guns in that country but they feel threatened by a small knife!

Well it's not a crime to carry kripan at least a place where guns are more common....but when you are in other country their jurisdiction applies not your ethnicity ..race or religion . Same goes for foreigners in India....and that is a educational institution not a religious temple no one is wrong here just mis communication of rules

It's still a knife though, even if it is a religious thing. But then again Americans love their guns so why not let him have his knife lol

Lol a country where gun is allowed and legal and the students have no objections but but when someone carry a knife, they called the police seriously ?

I think posession of any weapon in kind should be banned in school..its not about religion its about fellow students feeling safe in school.\n\nImagine someday a religion proclaims that they keep gun as a religious practice.\n\nBurkha, tilak, kirpan..everything which devoid of uniformity and safety feeling among students should be banned

eanwhile people buying guns from supermarket

I think they should first take care of the GUN VIOLENCE also while they just arrest ppl

His only crime was that he brought knife in a country of guns???\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSince I am becoming famous here's a disclaimer... I am actually not the owner of this comment, I saw it in another video and thought to use it..

lol america is a joke\nIn india they are allowed to carry it everywhere and there has never been a single report of crime involving kirpan.\nThe whole point of carrying it outside clothes is to show that its harmless. I had a friend who used to carry it and he told me that most of these kirpans are just for religious purpose and hence not sharp. \nLooks like guns are the new religion in america.\nAlso u cant use it for school shootings?\nAmerica= ?

Id rather pay high taxes than be used as gun targeting practice when ever Im outside, living in a country with no social security net. And ER waiting times are the same everywhere. Canada boring? I live in Montreal. Americans come here to party with the legal drinking age being 18 yrs old, instead of the American 21.? Also, youre not obligated to go to a seniors residence when youre older. Thats a CHOICE. Dont base living in Canada just on your experience in one city, TORONTO, the most Americanized city in all of Canada. My parents left the US when I was 2 yrs old to come here and it was the best decision they ever made.

A knife or gun shouldn't be in a university

Being from a sikh family \nI completely agree with US ?? police \nThese people and thier knifes ? and swords ? can be scary nd dangerous sometimes for other people around them \nThey recently chopped off a hand and a leg of another nihang sikh on rumours of sacrilege \nWell done US ?? police\nNo one should be allowed to carry knifes or swords or guns in the name of religion

I can definitely relate to all of these living in Canada my whole life and working.\n\nCar accident - was recommend by the insurance to visit the emergency room. waited for over 5 hours, 1:30 in the morning I just walked out I had to work the next day.\nWork - construction designer, basically working regularly 6 to 7 days a week about 10 hours a day behind the a computer. Doing my own work & managing our other designers, and it's not slowing down.\nPay - only making like 25 dollars an hour. and I don't just design, I also help manage the construction, list the projects (welding fabrication), order the materials, as wells as doing a lot of paper work. \nBills - I'm living in the cheapest place in the entire city with my fian and sharing a car at the moment, so not to bad. But obviously if we want to buy a house or a condo I'd be looking at well over 2000 dollars a month split between our two incomes.\nGas - prices are high, carbon taxing.\nHomeless people everywhere you look, can't really blame them TBH.\nShootings and police raids right out side my apartment, literally drove through a crime scene one morning. Yet I'm not allow to own a gun for self defense.\nThree months of summer, winter storms, but I love skating and snow boarding so that's ok with me.\nWeed's legal but along with alcohol, both heavily taxed.

HEY LISTEN UP _ killing children with heroin isnt considered murder, its a slap on the wrist , released to kill more of our kids.!!! AND the parents who complain get told to shut the fuc up, 12 year olds can decide for themselves if their grown ups or not. YES SERIOUSLY ACCORDING TO RCMP damn pricks./...,ooops another damn psyc evaluation trip you gun toting tin star freakin dictator book learned mofo idiots. haha that'll get me an extended nurse flirting vacation WOOOHOOO !! (no, I am serious)

I was born in the USA,I would never live anywhere else but Canada. Gun laws do it for me. Most from the islands think they are owe something, breaks me up. Then you have the others who are happy to live here. if you don't like living here , please leave. Bye, take care.

Most of these reasons are the same in each country. Been living in 4 countries and I can tell you that it's the same almost everywhere. Also, taxes are not that high in Canada. I live in a country now that has almost 50% taxes. And I'm just in the middle class. I've seen few of those videos now and I have a feeling that people complaining about Canada are the people that haven't lived anywhere else. US is the worst possible place to live. No work-life balance, toxic work culture, no holidays, no vacation, no healthcare, working people being homeless, violence, racism, wokeness, gun violence. These are just a tip of the icberg why US is the worst place to move to.

A lot of places are gloomy. Go travel for adventure. Adventure and excitement always comes with guns and other issues. I am from there and moved away. I miss Walmart and Toronto summers. Do this same video in 20 more years ladies. Take what you can and leave the rest. You went there for a reason don't forget. But yes, the winders can be hard. Find a winter sport ?

This video for privileged people, not people struggling to survive. In a country like Nigeria, a PhD holder is applying for trucking driving job and secondary teaching job. They would be grateful to move to Canada for a befitting job and will be excited to pay tax. Many with good educational background don't even have any job at all. At least Canadian government takes taxes and provide good infrastructure. In Nigeria, the government takes your tax and nothing works, no jobs, no security, no healthcare, no good roads or infrastructure. It's difficult to travel inter state without being kidnapped. Your family sells all your properties and pay the ransom but still be killed. You can even be gunned down in your house or on the street just for next to nothing. All my relatives in Canada are happy with their families and are begging me to come. Even people with good jobs are moving to Canada. They're not doing it for themselves for the future of their children, for peace of mind, security and to escape poverty. \n\nIf you're in doubt please move back to Nigeria then you will know Canada is heaven. Many have resorted to prostitution and crime because they believe they don't have any other way to survive. I want to come to Canada not to get rich but to get a decent job and live a meaningful life with my family. I will be more than grateful to contribute to the progress of Canada even beyond paying my taxes.

Look, I would appreciate it if you guys can talk about Nigeria ??, Leave Canada for Canadians to talk about...You are clueless...Live in the States and be carrying guns everywhere including in schools....\nLook , Stay in your Nigeria and shut up....Just make sure you have electricity....\nThe country is so bad, Why do you even want to come here and make money.?...Am a proud Canadian ?? \nBlacks would always complain, Just take it to your country where you belong, and it's called Nigeria ?? and don't come here with your fake certificates... That may work in the States...??

If you already used to life around friends and families back home Canada is not for you. Quite frankly Canada is for natural born loners.\nFact, You will definitely feel more at home in the u.s than Canada mainly due higher immigrants population.\nIf you moved to Canada as a teenager or was born by immigrants parents then Canada is for you. You get used to the lifestyle, bitter cold, Old age home and so forth are considered normal. \nIf you moved to Canada as adult with your wives and kids and doing well Canada is for you.\nIf you’re young and single there are endless nightclubs to make friends, schools, community gathering, places of worship even online.\nThose that reached older age moved back only if they still have strong family ties else they stayed and enjoy there pension.\nIf you moved to Canada as adult found it boring and moved to u.s and find the high cost of healthcare attractive, the gun culture less dangerous, the mass shootings, more racism, police brutality and still loved it, there’s no need to move back to Canada.

born and raised in the UK. its a great place. NHS, no guns etc. yes there are issues. leaving for Africa or Caribbean in the next 5 years, heaven regardless of the issues , home is home.

Canada is similar to America minus the gun violence, when you come from a almost homogeneous society where you are the majority ethnicity/tribe is used more. Since both of you are young surprised that you wouldn't know people here are call colors white, brown etc. You notice it's not always accurate for those people who say my skin isnot literally black (its makes no difference.) propaganda. to all coming o the west learn the history of your new country donot relie only on social media and marketing propogranda.
