Landry has been learning Punjabi, one of the most widely spoken languages in the Toronto-area city.

Mike you’re on RUclips!!!!!!!!! This guy is an amazing person I know him personally
Wow that's awsome. He seems like a great man. Pls let him know we appreciate his dedication to his job and humanity 💖
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Big deal, can he speak French?
God will bless him!
@@trentdabs5245 there is no language called 'indian' , diverse languages are spoken all over India varying from region to region
When a non Indian speaks an Indian language, other Indiansconsider them a part of their extended family.
@lol lol and this is what has led to the deterioration of Indian Civilisation but we are now fighting back.
What your name means? Lol
Then why Indians dislike NE Indians
@@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN Why tribal people in NE bully non tribal people?
@@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN What?
Damn what a devoted driver!! Good on him learning a new language just for it
yeah shame the people living in his country can't be bothered
I met him, he's a very funny guy respect brother ✊
@@TheFlyMan are you punjabi? and if not then do you really know the meaning of bhencho? 🤔
@@Jojomojo202 i think he is gora
@@sahilsuman2704
My Indian friends told me what it meant. I'm white.
@@Jojomojo202
Khursa? What?
@@TheFlyManhahahh gud 👍
This guy knows more Punjabi then most Punjabi’s born here 😂😂
Yours a joker.
Lee Steal you’re a joker* learn to spell kid.
Wtf you talkin
So true
Facts I can only count to 30 LMAO xD
This gentleman is a true professional.
I can't front, this definitely made me smile.
Really genuine human being. People who go above and beyond like this make the world a better place. Just by doing something small, it goes a long way
What a nice man, he truly treats his job with pride and his passengers with love ❤️
Good for him but Canada needs stronger language requirements. I'm Indian by descent and people in Brampton speak worse English than people in India lol.
I agree with your point, good for that man we need more people with that kinda of attitude but with that being said can you speak any french? We are a bilingual country if we start getting stronger language requirement for immigrants moving here I think we should also be inflicting stronger requirements on the English-speaking population to learn French
@@ryanstevy8639 - I do not speak French, but I use "Frenchi" Brand underwear. Atleast I remember the French people everyday. Do you have any connection with the French people? French people do not insist on speaking French only. They are multi lingual. Did somebody sell you a French rubber stamp?
Bahahahahaha
Reading? How about writing.
@@ryanstevy8639 great point. I am indian and to some degree i believe anyone going to a country should try and learn the language. Its an amazing feeling tht you can converse in the language of the land. However everyone learns at their own pace and need. If you think that the retired 70 year olds need to learn English then no. As long as the younger generation knows the language
This is so me at work. I work with a lot of punjabis and it's so interesting learning their language. This is amazing!
@@gametillgrave44 lol
😂😂😂
Claire Moncada you meant learning their way of speaking English language 😂
Hor phir ki haal ne thuade.?
He also is learning Gujarati and Tagalog as well. I remember speaking to him in Gujarati on the bus once
Dhwani Gandhi *seriously....* 🙄
Gujju pan sikhe che? Oh wow that's great of him, these are dialects with some million speakers only, it's great somebody's learning it from a total different world
Really that eould be nice if he will learn tagalog too thank you so much
@Rich 91 what
Can you teach me how to Gujarati
I work for an international school and I understand the connection he gets from his passengers...he is amazing!🇨🇦❤
May God bless this bus driver. He care about others by showing kindness and doing things to help people.
This is a great example of Canada and Canadians' hospitality. This kind of generosity is rarely seen in the world. Those who have lived in other countries know that for certain. The driver is an example of how we should all behave in our daily lives; respectfully, politely and with an open mind.
@@skopa1223 It's a fine line though, between kindness and weakness. Don't get me wrong i am not saying anything bad about the video, the driver seems to be a cool dude but in general by Trudeau calling Canada a post national state he is saying that Canadians have no identity, it is why nationalist backlash is starting to build traction.
As long as the balance is both ways, people come here want to learn and become Canadians. Canadians equally want to learn about the people who come here.
Oh god your so narrow minded its digraceful. This kind of hospitality happens anywhere there is a huge minority, including the USA that you think is less nice and more rscist than Canada. In fact in California there are whites who have converted to sikh and even built temples for sikhs to worship in that they also run.
@@Baseshocks exactly
@Elena Lina - The man was speaking English in the interview
@PopnLock Popin I love how your only ok with Indians who think like you entering Canada.
I love this guy I also met him in bus 36.. he is very cool guy and hilarious...
lol met him in his house 🤗.Great man!His daughter and i went to school together.We are friends and He is our Papa.
@@Rrrrcc4666 he is great guy..
How is his Punjabi? Can u understand him easily?
@@MyName_Jeff Well we all know that he s not Punjabi.But even though he s not still his diction is pretty clear and easy to understand.
@@Rrrrcc4666 That's cool. Can he actually have a conversation or does he just know certain phrases?
Yeah, I met him once or twice coming back from work. He introduced himself as Mikedeep Singh from Moga😂😂😂 My mind didn’t function well while I was talking to him because he was so good at it
Edit: and that was 6 years ago
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👍
Waheguru Satnam 🙏
Amazing person -thank you for your kindness
Nice man. Glad he feels appreciated and making lots of friends. He loves his job I am sure otherwise he wouldn't have made the effort to go that extra mile
This is awesome! Now that’s Legendary customer service!
Punjab people are great spiritually grounded people respect from 🇮🇪 Ireland
Vishwas Singh Alright Mr. Perfectionist take a freaking complement
Thiara California USA. This is the respect of Punjabi & Pbi people in the world Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji
Wow this is truly amazing. What a beautiful soul. Well done Mike. . Bless your heart. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦❤️♥️
I know this guy from 14 no bus going north on torbram. I love his learning skills. he always came up with his curies. love mikey!!!
2:17 that weak two-finger handshake is killing me the most in the whole video! Hahah!
Totally!
Lmfao was gna comment that too 😂
She has a boyfriend
Bruh hahaha
Viji she comes from two finger village custom there
This bus driver is the coolest guy on the planet. His heart is in the right place to have made the effort to learn Punjabi and make his passengers feel comfortable by greeting them in Punjabi. Its so heartwarming to hear about stories such this. 👍👏
Top guy, lovely new Canadians - great country win-win!
Great Gesture Sir!! Now the onus is on all Punjabi’s (including myself) to give him a nice return gift by learning and speaking English.
This will ensure we give equal respect to Canada and it’s primary language!
Saare ielts krke jaande chwla
When I worked at fortinos he was there and speaking Punjabi even though my Punjabi isn’t that good he’s amazing
Impressive and amazing! It’s very nice of him to go above and beyond to help the passengers and learning their language. Congratulations.
Mike you rock..........Your brother from another mother...at Miway transit....
what a positive video! love how he is embracing punjabi culture! trust me we punjabis are fun people! :)
Wow he speaks better thn my cousins so called *British borns* 🤦♂️
@Intrø Vërt "blaming my cousins" if you can read properly.
@Intrø Vërt what's the difference ? Im curious
@Intrø Vërt bro you need some help i think
Sikhs in the UK are very patriotic and speak Punjabi very well. North Americans ones are probably more Uncle Tom types
@Intrø Vërt nobody here( read India)cares
2:05 damn she cute
She is
very
@Will Wilberforce and lmao
@Will Wilberforce actually u will find a ton of them if u visit
Simp alert
Another amazing example our true Canadian spirit
Unlike Trudeau
Hey! I travel with him everyday. He greets me everyday and i just casualy say sat shri akal to him. I had no idea that he has a video made on youtube. He drives the 50 no. Bus from humber college to the gore road.
“It brings us together than divid” he is so true. Thank you Sir, world need more people like you. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽🙏🏽
just love his dedication about his daily riders. most of the crowd you travells in bus in Brampton area are from india. This man is loved.
These are the most humble Punjabis I have seen....
Respect that’s amazing i heard of this story years ago! Punjabi are great people but when they hear the bus driver speak punjabi probably shocks and brings a smile to folks (;
I always try to learn small things in many languages, mainly "hi, thank you, and bye." It really tends to shock people and makes them happy. When you speak in their native languages you are speaking to their heart not their minds. Which really tends to move people.

All he need is a mustang now
Lol
better than baniyas driving vernas 😂
@@Hsp44 Mai v Punjabi he han, not driving verna lol

Ive lived in Brampton all my life and honestly I wish I knew Punjabi or Urdu or just something new
I learned hindi by watching bollywood movies with subtitiles
Great customer service Mike. Keep it up.
Yes, he is an amazing person. I met him one time...he also speaks Gujarati.
This person has an amazing heart 💓
Love from India 🇮🇳
If half of the people in the world has heart like him, there won’t be any bloodshed
Very Nice Person... GOD Bless Him

Excellent.. a sweet poetic language..
🇧🇩🇧🇩😘😘😘😘😘
He’s a very friendly person. We’ve had a couple of interactions.
He’s beautiful inside and out
Bless this man.
Give that man a medal
I currently live in Brampton. I go to a French immersion school which has a decent amount of Indians, but when I was younger literally everyone either spoke English Hindi or Punjabi. I remember in grade 4 I was taught to sing an entire song in Hindi. I actually didn’t mind. But it was when the neighbors would kind of force their language a bit on me. I remember playing cricket with the neighborhood kids when an Indian aunty started speaking in Punjabi. I personally thought she was talking to someone but she was actually talking to me. Honestly after she left I just went home. I know this isn’t related to the video but I felt like saying that.
Man only if u were positive enough to open your eyes that push could have meant something positive
Amazing 👌🏿 learning about other cultures and languages bravo sir
Y Huss why dont they come learn our language and culture. This is canada
@PopnLock Popin he's just being sarcastic

Welcome to Can... India !

I'm very happy to know our culture and traditional language is running everywhere in my way #Puniabi is the most loveable and funniest language I ever seen and hear and speak it I love it ... I really love my language and I'm proud to myself that I can speak and teach to others and everyone love our language...
#Chakdepathe👏👏👏
I simply love him and his thought process. Thankyou for including our language in you life journey. It means a lot.
It is super nice and very admirable when White Canadians take an effort to appreciate other cultures respect it and even to learn the language is just amazing. We live in times of Trump and Trumps like, we have to take a step back and treat each other as human being, not as Hindu or Sikhs or Muslims or...
Haha i guess there are a lot of Punjabis in kanneda
Mostly in Brampton
Indians form the largest immigrant group in Canada.
They need a 1 child policy
Salt &pepper u have so much problem from PUNJABIS
Rishav = Peshab
Kanneda wale... This approves he is speaking in Punjabi...😜✌✌
Ahah I learnt a whole lot of Hindi, Punjabi, Somali, Arabic, Spanish , and tangolog, also stoney. From living in Edmonton. For the past few years. Only reason is cause I’m a talkative person and just love socializing. And I pick up on things quite quick and fast. Although since I live in the North i try and talk mostly in Cree and avoid English. Except when I go to the nearest town I do enjoy going inside and talking with the gas station and corner store workers.(they are usually one of the above.)
WOW very inspiring person!! It’s really not easy to find Canadians or Americans like him that finds interest in learning languages outside of English. Keep the great work!! 😀😀💪💪

Canada is always an answer for a new world
Stay out of our country
@@JohnSmith-hp7gt what about you? When are you going to your country?
@Elena Lina even my profile picture is Thor so it doesn't mean i'm Chris Hemsworth😆
And yes i agree with your second statement..They should learn English being in that country..
Elena Lina And why are you coming to Canada without learning an Indigenous Language?
Make Canada Great Again
Very touching!!!
What he says in the last 15 seconds is so amazingly well put. Hats off to you sir!
The fact that the whole world speaks English and he still took the chance to learn the language is impressive.
The whole world speak ? Since when ?
@@ehjo4904 Half the world speaks it
