Canada at peace: I'm sorry Canada at war: You're sorry.

The reason Canadians are considered so friendly is because anyone that has seen otherwise didn't live to tell

It's actually very simple for us Canadians. We don't like bullies

Most people: I had no idea Canadians could be so violent... Me: ... Have you seen us play hockey? It's basically a gladiatorial arena on ice.

“God you Canadians are so friendly to everyone! How do you do it?” Canadians: *blinks in suppressed blood lust*

During times of peace we transfer our Seething bloodlust into The Geese.

Canada is the true definition of “there’s a time and a place”

As a USer, I am proud to call Canadians my northern brothers and sisters. We aren't protecting Canada from the rest of the world. We are protecting the rest of the world from Canada.

NOOOO DON'T LET THE SECRET OUT. UNDERESTIMATION IS OUR GREATEST WEAPON.

Who else agrees that Canada deserves more credit for ww2

My Grandmother grew up in the Netherlands during WW2 and shared stories of her parents forced to eat flowers as they had absolutely nothing until the Canadian army came to their Aide. Her older 8 year old brother shot down playing in a field by Nazi aircraft. Shortly after they came to Canada. I am so proud to be Canadian.

People that don't understand Canada's performance in war have clearly never seen a hockey game.

Canadians say “sorry” so much that a law was passed in 2009 declaring that an apology can’t be used as evidence of admission to guilt.

I live close to a Canadian war cemetery in Holten, The Netherlands. The first time I got there it was extremely overwhelming. Most of therse men where 19. Thanks to them and thousends of others my country can be the way it is. Free and happy. I'll make sure my children and theirs will not forget. Thank you Canada.

As a Ex British soldier who has lived in Canada for 30yrs now i just have to say, that i have had the honor of meeting many WW2 veterans. As you said Canadians are the nicest peaple you can meet, but dont test them,.They have a national pride like no others and will bring there wrath down on any who chose to test them. Europe owes a lot to the fighting men and women of Canada. I would go to war with at the drop of a hat. Saul Higginbotham

Leo Major was the living definition of "fuck it, how far can i go with this" and then single handily liberated an entire town. absolute fucking CHAD

Canadian person: **bumps into German soldier** Oh sorry. German Soldier: **Sweats**

Canadians: **Passive and peace** Germans: **Declare war** Canadians: So you've chosen.... Death.

Makes me even more proud to be Canadian😂 Literally the definition of "I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me"

During ww1 the French and British spent almost 3 years trying to take vimy ridge.... the Canadians took it in 4 days

Canadia is the embodiment of the adage "Do not mistake my kindness for weakness."

My great grandfather survived Juno at the age of 16. Although I never got to meet him I still think about the strength and courage that must have taken. Truly a hero.

Many of those statements still hold true to this day. The fact is that Canada has a rather small military. As a direct result, a very large portion of military personnel are trained to be able to handle a far wider range of roles than your average American soldier. That versatility is part of what makes the Canadian military is.

Germany; *declares war* Canada: oh boy here I go killing again!

My ex wifes father was in the Wehrmacht during the second war . He said that they were wary of the Russians but scared shitless of the Canadians .

Proud to be Canadian. Fière d'être Canadien. We're always ready to die by the sword to STOP wars and defend virtue, even in our worst days.

I had a great uncle that fought and survived both wars. He lied about his age to get into WW1 and lied again to get into WW2. He was heart broken 'cause the Forces wouldn't let him fight in Korea. He came out with so many medals that a normal person would tip over from the weight.

*Canada is outnumbered* Canada: I like those odds

I am alive today because Canadian soldiers liberated my Nana and her family when they were in hiding in Holland. Shortly after they immigrated to Canada themselves and now I get to live in one of the greatest and most beautiful countries on Earth 🇨🇦

Just barely beginning to understand Canadian history. This is awesome! Gained a whole new level of respect for this country. The fact that Canada is really friendly and non-aggressive, but will do anything to fight for peace is the definition of Pacifism to me. And that's very admirable.

Here's the thing. The nicer people are, the scarier they are when they snap. An interesting addition to the topic would be the involvement of the indigenous people in the war efforts. I heard a vet from our closest reserve give a speech on remembrance day, and the volunteer enlistment rate from all eligible men was over 94%. It was a really interesting speech, and their treatment both while overseas and when they returned home was heartbreaking.

You ever seen a Canadian family tackle a snowy driveway? Ruthless.

Fun fact: in the modern era the Canadian special forces have captured more high value terrorist targets than any other military.

As a Canadian I feel proud of those generations accomplishments. It runs through my maple syrup veins with pride. All Allied nations were heroic, tough, vicious when need be, and prevailed as a collective. Lets make sure we always remember those efforts and sacrifices made by all each time we enjoy our moments of peace and freedom. And don’t ever piss off the nice guys. 😬

My grandfather flew a French spad fighter in WW1 in France to support the troops when France ran short of fliers . RIP John Mcgaw. ❤

We Dutch love Canadians! It was them who liberated the Netherlands during WW2

Canada during peacetime: Oh, I'm so sorry Canada during wartime: *I am fluent in over six million forms of kicking your ass.*

My Grandfather's older brother died in Holten Netherlands in May 1945. He helped liberate Belgium and the Netherlands. I wish I could've met him. The way my grandfather talks about him, he seemed fearless and driven to help those in need. He's buried in the Canadian Military Cemetary in Holten, Netherlands. This video made me so proud of my heritage.

When you live in the best, free country in the world, you do ANYTHING to protect it. 🇨🇦👍😎👍🇨🇦

US at war: “We do what’s necessary, and fight for what’s right” Canada at war: “BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!”

Don’t forget that the Canadians captured Vimy Ridge in 3 days when the British and French were trying for months on end to do so in WW1

Canada: Im about to stop saying sorry... Time to add to the Geneva Suggestion List.

I am a Canadian Veteran, and I’m not gonna pretend I’m some kind of tough guy killer, but I have the pleasure of knowing some absolutely fearless warriors that ran roughshod over the Kandahar province for years.

I feel that its important to note here that during both wars much of Canada was still very much a frontier. Many of our soldiers and officers came from farms on these frontiers and had previous experience with firearms, fighting and extreme weather (in places like Manitoba it regularly gets to -40 degrees.) So many of the challenges most soldiers who come from large urban spralls face weren't there for our boys. We were already adjusted to harsh conditions.

Canadians normally: "oh, sorry" Canadians at war: *are outnumbered 100 to 1* "Then it is an even fight"

"If I had Canadian Soldiers, American technology and British officers I would rule the world." - Winston Churchill Cheers from Quebec, Canada. 🇨🇦

As a Canadian, this video makes me very proud of our history and the soldiers who gave their all for everything. ❤️🙏❤️

“Once the Canadians had tasted gas, they never let the enemy forget it”

"If I had Canadian Soldiers, American technology and British officers I would rule the world." Churchill

We take all our rage of dealing with such long snow filled winters out every time there's a war

My father fought in North Africa, Sicily and Italy with the 80th anti tank regiment. Was wounded in Sicily. He was quite a formidable man. He also had a lot of respect for the German soldiers. He said "the Germans were very well trained and professional soldiers. The Italians, not so much" Thanks for the video.

Given how Canadians are in Hockey, I'm not surprised they can fight. The military just tells their soldier that the other side has the puck!

Germany: I declare war Canada: *maple syrup stops*

As a Canadian, I’m particularly proud of what we were able to do in Belgium and the Netherlands during WWII

Just to the makers of this video as a Canadian I want to thank you very much, honest video, well researched, I love it👍

As a Canadian, it's true. We might be nice, but in truth, when behind closed doors, we have an insatiable lust for blood.

Canadian Soldier: “Hey aren’t you going to apologize for that?” German Soldier: “Um Nope” Canadian Soldier: “So you’ve chosen death, eh?”

We Canadians prefer not to fight, but if forced to, we will win at any cost.

This is true as a Canadian I can confirm this is how we think

Guys let's not forget when Canadians literally PISSED in their towels and put them on their faces TO CANCEL OUT THE POISON SET BY THE GERMANS, AND THEY WON, TOO!

My step-dad’s dad fought in Italy. He never really talked about it. Toward the end of his life, 50 years later, he had to have hip replacement surgery. He asked the surgeon “listen doc, I have a piece of mortar stuck in my leg since the war, it hurts when I sit down. While you’re down there, could you remove it? It would be appreciated”

My grandfather fought ww2 in the Netherlands, was the only survivor of the group under his command. Thirty soldiers ceased to exist when a bomb landed on their bunker... he happened to be at a friend's bunker playing cards,when he went to his bunker to rest, expecting anything to happen the next day, he found a crater where it had been! He was scarred for life... had PTSD before they knew what it was. Went in a private, came out a corporal.

We are the literal definition of "built different"

I heard that when Leo Major got his eye wounded, he was told he just earned himself a ticket home. He responded he wanted to keep fighting. His medical officer told him: but you lost an eye! To which Leo responded: so? I only need one, I'm a sniper. He died in 2008 but I only learned about him a few years ago. I could have met this guy, he lived not far from where I live!

Canadians: playing hockey. Germany: Starts invading more countrys in Europe. Canadians: So anyway I started blasting.

Great delivery and presentation my friend..I had fun with this keep it up 👍

Oh, how I love to be Canadian. 🇨🇦💯

We still send them 50.000 tulips each year and each generation is taught how these hero's liberated us. I am thankfull for every canadian and i do hope to visit one day

Up here in Canada we have a saying.... "There are three things all wise men fear, the sea in storm, a moonless night and the anger of a gentlemen...." -Canada

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen good job keep it up

Please read through this comment very interesting fact.... Major Currie commanded the combined Amour (Tank), Anti-Amour and Infantry force .Currie displayed outstanding leadership and is an inspiration and was critical to the success of the combined force during this battle. The Infantry soldiers who fought in this courageous battle lead by Currie, were the same troops that burned down the German town (Friesoythe) you previously mentioned. It is worth mentioning, the evacuated town (Friesoythe) was levelled for 2 reasons: 1) retribution 2) to use as material to rebuild the marshy roads so the heavy tanks, trucks and supplies could continue the advance of the allied forces. Without repair and reinforcement to the road, the forces would be bottlenecked and would be vulnerable to attack thus stopping the advance further in to Germany.

"Iran destroy plane with canadian in it" Iran: why do i hear boss music?

Guy shoots canadian guy Canadians: we have a city to burn

Thank you for talking about my home country!

🙌 you know it buddy, we chill till people mess with us

our Taste for Blood never stops we just switch to Tree Blood every so often.

Under the usual Canadian passiveness and politeness is repressed aggression that get uncorked in wartime.

brilliantly done man ty that was a great video

Thanks for the great video!

"He liberated the entire city, by himself." - How has this not been turned into a movie yet!

_"A warring nation Canada is not, though a nation of warriors she has sometimes been forced to become."_ -Pierre Berton, *The Invasion of Canada 1812-1813*

Just say the word… and see what happens… you’ll be sorry…🇨🇦❤️

Great video, glad I stumbled upon this.

There's a reason Palpatine's galactic empire never came to Earth. He learned of Canada and truly knew fear.

What I find sad is that my country is mostly overlooked in both WW1 and WW2. Sure, we didn't send the biggest and best units to the front, but we did our best with who/what we had. I am truly thankful that in this video you cover our feats of heroism and triumph. Cheers from Canada!

Canadians were known for collecting the severed, dried ear-lobes of their enemies and making necklaces out of them - sometimes they would collect these while listening to the enemy's false confessions. Canadians would also use the the mixture of blood and mud as camouflage. It was said that the blood of the soil would give ungodly strength as they hid amongst the corpses, often mistaken for death's golems, before rising from the earth and collecting more ear lobes.

Proud to be and thankful to those who came before and what they've done.

"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."

"If you are our friends we will go to the ends of the earth to defend you, but if you choose to be our enemies we will make you wish you never did."

Never mistake kindness for weakness.... or mercy.

I mean come on, what else would you expect from a nation where you fight moose? Have you seen a moose? They're friggin terrifying.

Normal Canadians: “Sorry” Canadian hockey Players: “ I will knock all your teeth out” Canadian army: “Even the Germans fear us” French Canadians: “Hmmm be a badass or surrender?”

Canadians in Peace Time: Oh hi there, wanna come over for some food? Canadians in the World Wars: *There is no mercy.*

We are proud. Thanks for the pat on the back, we're to humble to do it ourselves.

Great story 👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👍👏👋

My grandfather is 98 years old today and he fought in WWII as a Canadian. He's the most humble man I've ever met. He was there at Juno Beach and at the liberation of France, Belgium and Holland. I truly respect everything this courageous man has done for the world and for the people. He explained to me many times that the hardest part of the war for him was to see the starving children that had lost their parents during the war. He also said most of the times they could not feed the children because they didn't have enough food to feed all of them. The kids would fight each other out of desperation when the soldiers gave them food. My grandfather was known by his fellow soldiers as the small soldier that ran really fast. making him a difficult target to hit. I'm extremely thankful for every soldiers that helped end the war once and for all, bringing peace to Earth and giving us the future we have today. His name is Edgar Doiron, a proud french canadian from New Brunswick. He's my hero.

God: you should stay here, for safety Canada: I can keep myself safe just fine God: not your safety

My great grandfather almost died during the death March in WW2... his feet were so bad that he could barely walk, and couldn't at some point. A friend ended up carrying him the last of the way. He then passed away when I was a kid in the 2000's. He apparently did not talk about his time in the war often.

My grandpa was in currie’s light armoured unit at the falaise gap. Thanks for making this!

Freakin Canucks, they even hold the record for the farthest sniper kill. About a mile and a half in Afghanistan with a McMillan Tac 50.
