Being polite and being nice aren't the same. For their population sizes, Canada and Australia are VERY dangerous opponents. Their people play hard, and fight hard. I'm proud to have Commonwealth allies like that.
I don't know about the unofficial rules of lacrosse, but I DO know that one of our two national sports is one of the only sports that lets athletes fight before giving penalties
@@TheDyllsThere's fighting in Lacrosse too
@@casualcausalityy Thanks! I thought so!
Wow, you’re a little too late, buddy. This has been done couple years ago. Can’t you do any original stuff?
The British will tell you what great soldiers the Canadians are.
No point going to war if it aint to win it, eh?
and most american soldiers that fought with canadians
Never mistake politeness with weakness.
We're efficient. And remember, it's never a war crime the first time.
That's why we're mostly peacekeepers now! Stupid Geneva Conventions... 😅
The Geneva Checklist.... ummm.... I mean convention 😁
@@TheDylls duuude right?! no more fun.
It makes me chuckle when people are surprised by Canadian's being a bit ... aggressive. Have you never watched hockey?
Yes, but we figure they're arguing over the best brand of maple syrup.
@TheEclecticBeard Yeah, right. Not!
We live by a rule "Be nice till its time to not be nice, then you take out the trash"
In the Geneva conventions All the things soldiers aren't allowed to do to the enemy were written because of the Canadians and all the things you're not allowed to do to civilians were written because of the Germans.
Nobody told us it wasn't a to-do list. Sorry, eh
@@Aughtel Hey it was not invented yet bud
Cant be mad at us for the first time when nobody really knows the rules, eh?
Considering how many Canadians have Scottish blood I believe this. No point in messing about
Considering how many Gaelic, have Canadian family, this makes sense... eh
And Ukrainian blood too
I have Scottish and Irish roots
uhmmm black blood too guys. Ill die for mother canada!
German, Irish, British, Scottish and Dutch are usually the big ones lol German and Dutch being the main ones in quite a few areas
We kind of go feral if you give us a hockey stick and put us on the ice too....
Yes, we try to be respectful and polite to everyone, but at the same time, that also means we don't let our frustrations out very often so if you pick a fight or manage to actually piss us off, it's probably not going to end well.
You should look up Canadian General Romeo Dallaire. Very interesting story dealing with the Rwanda genocide. He is also a survivor of PTSD.
My father and uncle fought in WW2 in Sicily, Italy, and Holland as assault troops with the 1st CDN Inf Div. They had a standing order of take no prisoners unless ordered by an officer. Once the shooting starts no quarter is given. And that included the walking wounded. Just because a soldier is wounded doesn't mean he won't shoot you in the back.
I find that hard to believe it was standing orders as that was against the Geneva Conventions. There are cases of Canadians shooting surrendering Germans in Normandy.
My grandfather, his brother, and two of their cousins fought in WW One and I had eight uncles in World War Two (my father was only 6 when it started in 1939. Fun fact, Canada declared war on Japan before the USA did after Pearl Harbrour.
The Yanks, always late.🤣
If I remember correctly, the IJA almost lost the battle of Hong Kong... Because of Canadians.
"Throw the first punch, see what happens" - Canadians
You might enjoy heritage minutes. 1 minute shorts on bits of Canadian history
Hi Alan, if you get to the Imperial War Museum you will see displays of weapons used raiding trenches. They include serrated bayonets/knives, maces, spiked clubs(with 6 inch nails), knuckle-dusters with or without a short knife attached. Basically anything that can be used close-quarters & do a lot of damage with only 1 or 2 blows.
“In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility; but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger; stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with hard-favor'd rage.”
(Shakespeare - Henry V)
"Let's Go Canada" poster with the Union Flag will make the Pub Landlord happy.
Canadian here, we are part of the reason there are Geneva suggestions.
The Canadian soldiers are also the reason why you don't want to shoot a Canadian officer.
With the dogs of the leash...
Canadian go to war, passive part of Canadian help also in war effort medics and stretcher barriers!
I think all countries have stories of war that involve NGAF about the enemy, WW1 was so different for all involved, I don't think what they did was necessarily bad, when going against other soldiers that would do the exact same thing given the chance, the Canadians just were the first to act. Even us Aussies, one of the nicest people you'll meet have done some dastardly stuff in war, I think the nicer the country and the harder you push them the more they will react, like me I've never been a violent person, but like most if you fk with those I love you will end up in the ground.
in ww1. The Canadians suggested giving caned food. And eventually replace the food with explosives.
There's a reason Canada has never lost a war.
Thanks for learning about us. We did it lads, we're popular!
Stopped the vid v early on just to comment that at first, I thought this might be a bit of a Canadian bashing video. You know. Two close country neighbours poking fun or rivalry. *Looks at France* Then I remembered Canadians are known for being beasts in war time so it couldn't be that. I'd be pretty proud to be a Canadian to have that sort of reputation compared to some others. I still can't get around the thought of heroic yet brutal Canadians bashing skulls in and then saying Sorry each time. Aye. Bk to the vid. Ima enjoy this one.
That WW1 thing was because the kaiser's troops were using serrated bayonets that left wounds that did not heal, so the wounded all died a long, painful death. The Canadians asked nicely but firmly to please go back to straight edge bayonets, and were told that anything goes in war! Don't tell an opponent that you don't care if every wound is death, not if you care about your wounded.
2 things
1) The Canadian Institute for the Blind was created for Canadian Soldiers blinded by Germans using illegal mustard gas. I am wondering if Canadian Soldiers were pissed enough to kill anything representing a German
2) As a Canadian I would like to give this narrator a smack for what he thinks is hilarious references to maple syrup and the word "aboot" The only time you will hear a Canadian say that is if they are talking about a boot.
The Canadian Institute for the Blind was started after the Halifax explosion. But was instrumental inbheloing soldiers blinded by the use of mustard gas.
Mustard gas wasn't illegal at the time.
Nasty. But not illegal.
Maybe I'm wrong, but the guidelines for war were written by someone sitting at a desk, not by someone sitting in a trench with five dead friends around them.
David Currie is from my home town.....plaques everywhere.
If you want receipts, check out about half of the Geneva Conventions...
Why do you think we're mostly peacekeepers now? Most of our OFFENSIVE tactics have been internationally outlawed 😅
Hi Alan, in that first picture of Major Currie, he's the spitting image of Colonel Trotman from Rambo First Blood.
Try looking at the Patricia's in Korea.
Some little know things of the Canadians : Many Like Grandfather were French Canadian So landing in France was personal
The Canadians were the first ones to finish all the objectives in the Normandy beaches And yes they faced the same threats And under heavy losses.
1 in 4 members of the RAF was a Canadian / 10% of Canadians went over seas *1 million from 1939 to 1945
We entered the war on our own accord. We each volunteered. From a country that was not effected by the rest of the war.
We sent our own millions of tons of goods to England in ships with our own men Along with goods from America.
We built Lancaster bombers And Mosquito fighter/bombers That carried the biggest bombs for each of its class
We used more Mine sweepers Than the Germans had mine layers...
The Dutch honored my Grandfathers regiment with a brass sign on a bridge into Holland as the first man that gave his live crossing it
Many Canadian cities And towns Are sister towns to dutch ones And have parks in the name of each others town/city In Canadians ones You will find Tulips as a sign of freedom of the dutch (Apeldoorn / Burlington)
The Killing of German SS prisoners - was wide spread As the SS killed the first wave of Canadians just after Normandy behind a church blindfolded And tied . Each shot in the head 1 by 1 (20 of them) ...Grandpa said the Canadian HQ after a week of no SS told the troops of courtmarshal if found killing prisoners....They simple handed over the SS to the French...And they shot them
Grandpa was shot under the collar bone right threw..He got it cleaned up And patched And moved on "I remember getting light headed Firing off a few rounds And the next thing i remember was a man and women dragging me in this basement window" Grandfather did not want to lose his unit/buddies by going to a field hospital 4 hours later under fire he was shot again This time in the leg shattering a bone A dutch couple pulled him in the basement And cut off the bleeding The next Canadian they saw They waved down..Bergen Op Zoom ......
I myself have been to the Philippines And walked the Bataan route of the Americans Swam in the Surigao sea where some of the biggest American sea battles took place All around Manila And other areas Even said a prayer for a American that lost his life in Santo Tomas 1942
Good God t qui toi? Merci🇨🇦
When Canadians stop saying sorry, the Germans get a nervous tick and Geneva schedules a new convention hearing.
Leo Major is Rambo in real life.
As a Canadian I never really understand all the maple syrup jokes like the ones in the video being reacted to, except to explain it as foreigners needing to make wisecracks but not knowing anything else about Canada besides hockey. Maple syrup is nothing special in Canada - it's a condiment that only some Canadians bother to buy and occasionally put on certain foods. There's a vague awareness that it's a notable national product, but that's about it. Canadians consume vastly more ketchup, mustard and BBQ sauce than they do maple syrup. I probably had it a half dozen times a year growing up in Ontario on the rare occasion my mother felt like making pancakes for breakfast, or if I went out to a breakfast restaurant and got French toast or waffles. I've never purchased a bottle as an adult, and I'm middle-aged - can't justify the expense.
Your country has a maple syrup reserve. The only such in the world. In 2022, only about 10% of Canadians said they didn't use maple syrup and then because it was too sweet. Y'all like hockey, that's a given but you're known for maple syrup for a reason.
We produce close to 90% of the world's maple syrup, which is a coveted ingredient in many high class cuisines. It is considered a delicacy on the world stage. We have a maple syrup reserve (guarded by the federal government) so large that a group of men once pulled a heist on said reserve, stole 10'000 gallons of syrup - 37'500 litres - and it still wasn't even 10% of the total reserve. That is how much maple syrup we have
It’s not a crime the first time!
Had family at Ypres in WW1 and other battlefields. Also had family in the Calgary tanks at Dieppe, the Sicily invasion, Italy including Ortona, etc.
At Ortona the streets were too narrow for the tanks to support so it was mouseholing and sniping. The Germans were paratroopers so an elite group. The irony is that they were relocated to the waterlogged Netherlands. Given slogging up the east side of Italy was compared to the mud of WW1 trench warfare, the Canucks were quite able to go after the opposition. The German general knew what they were facing from their earlier encounter.
The pronunciations are a bit off, e.g. Leo Major is Lay-oh Mah- jeur.
Look at the Royal Newfoundland Regt at Beaumont-Hamel in WW1.
You are quite right in what you say about actions in wartime vs peace.
You have my attention and my thumbs up , cheers EB!
i found a phrase that fits well, Canada at peace: "We're sorry" Canada at war: "you're sorry". i will say that when someone surrendered in wwII Canadians didnt always accept that surrender. but i believe that was situational and there we're several incidents throughout the war where Canadian prisoners we're killed after the surrender i think at a point a lot said screw it we had been in it with England for 2 years at the point where the U.S joined in
I’m Canadian and spent time in military. In war you do what you got to do to win, WW1 if you take prisoners you have to babysit them and feed them , food was probably scarce plus they probably had some hate seeing the damage the Germans done , your choices are low and they brought it on themselves, my opinion. Cheers 🍻
Oh, not going to disagree. War is hell. Has always been so, even when they were "gentlemanly wars" with designated campaign seasons. Trying to put a rule book on what's acceptable when only one side will adhere to it is hamstringing the effectiveness of soldiering. There's no humanity in war so to expect it outside of individual displays from soldier to soldier is a fools practice. You may very well punish a deed that's "crossed a line" but then it's already been crossed at that point hasn't it? You wouldn't want unneedful violence on the innocent not on the front line but to expect a sense of decorum for military forces when there's only a guarantee that one side will follow it, then how do you expect the side experiencing "war crimes" from not dipping their toe into the pond?
I agree, in WWI Canucks had no way to take prisoners. Also squads, platoons, were generally from the same small towns. So seeing neighbors, buddies from childhood being killed next to you, created a ferocious stab/shoot happy foe to the Hun
We are polite,but not stupid. Don't mess with CANADA
I'm only 1 second in and have paused just so that I can leave this comment to say that the thumbnail of you for this video, and the expression on your face, really needs the introduction of a "Caption Competition" feature, where you choose the winner of the caption that you think is funniest, wittiest or whatever, that is suggested by us in the comments section. Stay cool bro 😎✌️
Lick arse 😂🍀🇮🇪🍀
That 'kill the wounded stuff', was common in WWI but less tolerated in WWII. It led to the Geneva Conventions of 1949. Those conventions are so accepted now that it just seems wrong to us that in prior times warfare really was so brutally 'medieval'.
You think the Canucks are bad? Wait til the English get angry....
Lol.... Nah we're not that bad
@@eldoofthe3rd We used to run the world with 2 blokes and a pushbike. I reckon we're in our "polite" phase. 😄
@@robertwright7937 it's what happens when we fall from greatness we were once god's you know
@@eldoofthe3rd Once and future kings, my friend.👍
5 years from now yous will all be pushed out of England at this rate. Yous need to start getting angry now
Apparently any German prisoner of war with a last name that started with a letter in the first half of the alphabet would get sent to canada 🇨🇦 to make it difficult for them to escape back to Germany 🇩🇪.
Ever heard of the Geneva Suggestions
First, we always punch up. every time its a greater enemy we face. every time. so we have to go a little nuts and stop saying sorry. also. dont mess with tim hortons, beer, weed, hockey, or our civil freedoms. or, any of our buddies as when they call on us its the same t hing. we stop saying sorrry. lol Im 54 still some fight in me lol.
There were no rules back then. There are rules today and we follow them as best as we can to my knowledge. Can we say the same thing about the russians?
Keep in mind most of the 1.1million men volunteered
Being from a heavy military background i can say that modern Soldiers from any NATO country are as qualified as the next in todays world. All NATO militaries practice and have Military Exercises together so often the foot soldier from any one Nation can easily work with an ally on little notice.
i think for the most part canadians were told in ww1 to win by any means necessary, so they way we behaved in ww1 differed than how we usually fight in wars
Don't mistake nice for soft.
I just wamt to say that i am a proud member of major Paul Triquet V.C. and Leo Major's Regiment. The Vandoos. Royal 22nd Regiment
We are kind to friends, neighbours, and allies. But if you declare yourself our enemy the niceties go away. You're threatening our friends, neighbours and allies
I'm a very healthy 75 year old Canadian, strong and overly heathy for my age, as were my parents. My uncle Charlie (he was Irish, we are all Irish) went to England to contribute in WWII, because he got sucked in by the lies the media told. And from there I don't know what he did in WWII. But he must have seen something, because when I was child he told me that the Canadians turned so vicious because they did not want to be there in the first place. Canada is not violent. Canadian people are not violent by nature. The one thing that pisses us off more than anything is being "thrown into a fight". Like cannon fodder. Canadians do not react well to being treated as "cannon fodder". So by that fact alone, the Canadian arrived very angry, not at the enemy, but at the fact that they knew the war was not even a natural human thing. It was a banker's thing.
One of these days, the bankers are going to find out the hard way that if they force Canadians to go to war again, the warriors of this nation will not only kill the enemy, we will kill those who forced that unnecessary conflict upon us.
Canadians do not want to war. Bankers of earth should respect that demand.
Yes we were kind of war criminally, back then
It's like the saying goes. All's fair in love and war
True story. I was a weapons tech for the Canadian Army. I was in 2 service battalion, 4 service battalion and 4 CER (Combat engineer regiment). I was on loan to RCR's and during an off night several of us decided to go shoot some pool. We were in Charleston South Carolina which is a huge naval base. There was about 8 of us. We were having a great time, tipping back a few and the door opened and in walked about 20 sailors. It was a big pool hall with about 30 tables. They were on one side and we were on the other. But one of the sailors decided to take our only piece of cue chalk, which was fine but when it came to returning it, he said he was going to keep it. A big brawl broke out over a piece of chalk. It was 2 against one basically. We cleaned up. Sure, we all took a few shots to the face but we beat them to a pulp. Everyone was kicked out of the hall and we took the brawl to the streets. More sailors showed up and word got to where the RCR's were holed up and they brought the whole battalion. It was an all out war. Both the RCR's and the American sailors got in a lot of trouble the next day. After it was all said and done the Americans called us crazy. Canadians might be polite and kind, but we love to fight. That was in the 80's before cell phones. This became national news in both the US and Canada. The fight became very popular and many of you may have heard about it back in the day.
Britain, importing valour since 989AD.
The Geneva checklist
Canadians first battles in WW1 were against objectives that both the French and English had failed to take. The British more or less explained this away by saying that Canadians had the advantage over the British, because they were not bound by the standards of 'gentlemen' - an excuse they used when bettered or matched by other 'colonial' allies.
So at the end of W1 Canadians (in British folklore) were undisciplined, ignored rules and were unnecessarily violent.
So WW2 rolls around, and the Canadians are assigned Juno beach. One of the most difficult beaches to deal with, since it has French occupied towns along it. It was spared much of the bombing and bombardment in preparation for the landings, since the allies didn’t want to harm French morale by killing them.
So, if we are to assume that the invasion - planned by the British - had decided to invade a 'sensitive' area with a bunch of undisciplined, murderous, psychopaths, it is stranger still that they sent them ashore with virtually no commissioned officers. They went ashore led by NCOs. Because under the Canloan program, Canadian officers had been brought in to lead British troops.
Following the initial invasion, the Canadian troops were sent to the Netherlands. Another region where civilians were present everywhere, but the Germans were well entrenched. From the start, it was part military mission, part humanitarian mission. Unlike Germany, where civilian deaths and abuses weren’t considered a problem, the liberation of the Netherlands required great discipline and making sacrifices to drive Germans out in a way that did not endanger civilians. They could not simply blow up a town, they had to fight their way through it street by street to avoid civilian casualties.
We are left with the choice that the British chose blood hungry, maniacal troops to take on two of the most sensitive missions of the war - and only after they had seconded their officers to lead British troops. Or possibly that British military intelligence and experience with Canadian troops had shown them to be tough, determined and prepared to make sacrifice. I suspect it is the latter, while the stories of unruly savages were the invention of the British media, which has always - and still does - make excuses about why 'colonial' troops are successful.
If you think about the fact the US is about 10x the population, 6000 x 10 (equivalent??) in one battle... can understand the lust for revenge
Dude meat cleavers and spiked clubs was a joke, satire. Our weapons are often the same or comprable to the US we train constantly with the US to the point we can imbed in each other unit pretty well seamlessly.
not an expert on war but was there rules in WW1 or was brought about because of WW1 atrocities
.. Now just think...
How short the wars would have been. ( IF )
the Canadian army didn't call themselves Royal this and that..How many more kick ass troops they would have had and the damage they would have done..
Canadian troops have traditionally performed well at all conflicts it has been involved with, including peace keeping missions. The battle of the medak pocket needs to be told. But Canada won't tell it. Canadian soldiers are very stubborn.
the Germans would not like to go against scotts guard and the Anzac's (aussies newzeland and Canadians) also you should look up the Crucified Canadian very dark and sad true story
Canadians get not sorry quick at War. Imho
The meat cleavers were for chopping off fingers to get rings. We like our war loot.
we werent there for glory we wanted to end the war and go home. period.
Ww1 trench warfare cheers
The Meat cleavers and clubs were during WW1 for close range trench fighting. Mouse holing was used mainly to avoid using the roads and ally ways to move building to building to avoid ambushes set up on the streets.
Canadians in war are getting bad press IMHO,
if you really need to know why Canadians in/during war are like this, read the Book "Vimy" by Pierre Burton.
if you think we were bad during WWI & WWII, the reason is in there... read the book, we weren't bad, we just get tired of loosing friends... the Dieppe Raid in WWII shaped and molded Canadians for the long continual fight that was WWII... as a Canadian veteran myself I know the value of esprit de corps.
Usa asked our help to win the war, we helped. XD Never mess with nice people
USA asked our help? Learn your history. WW1 1914-1918. Canada joined in 1914. US joined in 1917. WW2 1939-1945. Canada joined 1939. US joined 1941.
....... I'm English soooooo technically somehow this is about how the British change when they hear war..... Most countries are known for having good weapons I can imagine the Canadians favourite weapon is the maple syrup tar pit...... I love being British..... Ooops i forgot to mention the FRENCH Canadians so whatever good the Canadian army does it's all undone by some Canadian's believing that they are indeed actually FRENCH!!!!
Indeed. The french ruin everything just by being french.🤣
Nonsense. We are not English. Just look at how we used modern tactics to take places like Vimy Ridge after the dinosaurs in British command failed.
when canadians were under british command they'd get slaughtered, canadians under canadian command it was opposite.
Oof! We wouldn't waste maple syrup like that.
Obviously NOT the French Canadians
Google Leo Major, the one eye scout who liberated an entire town. Or the Royal 22e Regiment ( The Van Doos ). You'll eat those words.
You know nothing about French Canadians, only your stereotypes.
The Van Doos are known as the Canadian Marines. I met a bunch of them when I was in barracks near Ottawa once. Great soldiers to have in your corner.
The Geneva convention is just a list of things Canadians did in WW1
