Canada's Plan to Unleash a Bacteriological Apocalypse
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2023
- Grosse Île lies 50km east of Quebec City, one of 21 islands in the middle of the St. Lawrence River. Though its name means “Big Island” in French, Grosse Île is barely two kilometres square, home to a small collection of buildings from its days as a quarantine station for Irish immigrants arriving in Canada. Designated a National Historic Site in 1974, today the island is open to tourists and hosts a museum, guided walking tours, and other activities. Yet this seemingly idyllic little island holds a dark secret. During the Second World War, a team of Canadian scientists used Grosse Île as a secret laboratory to study and weaponize some of the deadliest diseases known to mankind - biological weapons which, if used, could have unleashed a bacteriological apocalypse.

Oh, Canada.
Canada - Upper America
USA - Lower Canada
Our home, and native laaaand.
True patriot love
In all our SONS command
Yeah, eh
@Steve Goodzeck "all of us" makes sense though or are you discounting half the population?
It's obvious that an indiscriminately lethal and uncontrollable weapon is too dangerous to use, because its spread and effects are unpredictable.
The Germans had an additional factor to consider. Winds generally blow from West to East, putting them downwind of most of those nasties, most of the time. As the Battle of Towton demonstrated, if you're trying to use airborne weapons, that's a Very Bad Thing.
I visited Grosse-Ile around 10 years ago, when my uncle was working there (restoring the historic buildings).
We had the chance to have a local with us, he told us that he worked naked until the end of the use of the site (up to the 60s-70s). I did not know then if he was just making fun of us, looks like it was really the case!
I truly think the German army would have used chemical or biological weapons but Hitler had been gassed during World War I and he forbade it. Also it must be remembered that in the first years of World War II the Axis looked unstoppable when we look back with 20/20 hindsight we can’t have the same since of fear they did. Same reason during the Cold War the west kept working on WMDs while looking nervously at the huge Warsaw Pact Armies.
Fear of a chemical weapon attack is why the Americans sent a shipload of mustard gas to Italy [it was intended for possible retaliation if the Germans used chemical weapons. It became known, after a Luftwaffe raid hit that ship, releasing the mustard gas, and killing a sizeable number of people.
You know the Soviets were working on chemical and biological weapons just like everyone else.
You do know Hitler gas like 3 to 6 million Jews or something like that right Using chemical weapons
And Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.
"Working naked" yeah, to be honest I do this a lot when cleaning... if you're home alone/just with your significant other, cleaning naked just makes more sense, pop in the shower after and it's a lot less crap than having all the cleaning chemicals moxed in with your laundry, or how much your clothes just drag filth around if they're loose fitting, plus if your knees get dirty, you can wipe them off, with clothes that just gets tracked around too
I prefer to just use the cleaning chemicals on what I'm cleaning, rather than put it on my clothes/body.
When you said, "pop in the shower," yeeeeeah...
I misread that.
For more information, see 'waffle stomping' in the appendix.
Imagining this as a Canadian Heritage minute on CBC 😂
Did Simon sell this channel? It's nice to see content again
Nah, him and Daven have worked together since the beginning. Daven was just more behind the scenes
Was a little wary at first of the new videos with it not being Simon but glad those worries were overblown.
Daven is cool, he used to do a podcast with Simon back in the day
@@Tob1Kadach1 he also used to host the today I found out channel with Simon. I think he just decided to do more work behind the scenes because Simon has a more popular presenter personality with his outgoing nature, compared to Dave's more calm presentation style 😊 I love that he's showing back up. Always loved his more layed back style.
Daven is cool. It’s fun to watch the older videos and seeing how much more comfortable he is with the camera now. I miss their podcast tho. I’d love to listen to Daven and Simon geeking out about Star Trek and Stargate
Man has more channels than cable
I prefer him to Simon.
Nowadays, I gag if I see him in the thumbnail.
That'll explain the smoke lol
"New-found-land."
Oh,my
Canadas that quiet kid. God help you if they decide to talk or reach into their backpack
Daven, it's been bugging me for a while so I have to ask lol what is in the bottles on your bookshelves? Heck I'd love a video exploring all the cool stuff on your shelves.
I'm curious about that too!
for anyone who wants a deeper look at the Japan stuff, Hello Future Me did an amazing (and very heart wrenching) video essay on it a few months back, called "The US Covered Up Japan's Worst Warcrime. Here's How."
Knowing about Japan’s war crimes is helpful in understanding why so many countries are still upset and hesitant to work with Japan. I wonder if they had their turn at the Nuremberg trials if they would have a different relationship with other countries now
I just hope the Japanese stay an ally!
Do a video about the Edgewood arsenal experiments.
The only reason we never went full out on our biological and chemical warfare options is the same reason we dont have or need a nuclear program.
.we get it done conventionally every time.
Not to mention the US already had them and Canada is protected by the US nuclear umbrella. Saved them a lot of money they could use to make national health care.
Sorry aboot that bad cough, eh. Sure hope it doesn't spread to your buddies, eh.
From what I read, Banting died depressed due to his work in this field. There is a reason Canada never needed to develop an atomic bond.
Lovely
Daven, it's not pronounced "New Found Land", it's pronounced "Newfunlan'd"
Only for us Canadians....I've never heard a non-canadian pronounce it correctly.
@@maplobats I was always taught to say it correctly in the UK as a kid, but I've never heard a yank pronounce it correctly either.
@@zeusgsy I'm a Yank and I know how to pronounce it.
Umm, yeah . . . I thought everybody pronounced it "Newfunlan'd." That's what we all did. "New Found Land" just doesn't sound right.
To me it sounds like people say new-finland
I'd be happy to help out free of charge with pronunciation of Canadian, French, and Belgian place names.
Naming your town "gross eel" might have been a tip off.
Johnston island in the pacific.
Oh, humanity.
Did whistle boy sell this channel or something?
Canada - Upper America
USA - Lower Canada
You're Welcome Guy's 😂
Go Seattle Mariners! :D
just *one* of the reasons why we're always "Sorry"
So the only nation to actually use chemical and biological WMDs in the era around WWII was Japan. Hmm How many Chinese were killed by the Japanese using WMDs? Maybe the U.S.'s use of WMDs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was just.cosmic justice.
It was necessary. Saved lots of lives.
Just go down the Wikipedia rabbit hole on Japan’s war crimes and if the A bombs didn’t kill so many civilians, I’d agree it was 100% karmic justice
Of course it's in Québec
So much for Canadians being nice polite.
Why do you think we say sorry so much?
When it comes to war, we just want that shit over ASAP, so we forget that war crimes are illegal.
Canadians, polite? 😂😂😂
Some of us are nice and polite
Silly clickbait title. Something like 1 in 6 draft-age, Canadian men was a casualty in WWI, by WW2, we had developed a fearsome rep on the front line. No surprise to me we were neck deep in bio warfare stuff back then, whatever the King wanted, we'd pretty much do, likely whole project was at Churchill's request, and the research shows it was funded by the US.
I say release it.
Wow 😳🦆 ing Canada I. Kool I have learned so stuff keep it coming
Blame Canada...
Blame Canada.....
And I'm surprised that we didn't get blamed COVID
Blame Canada!!!!
Stop calling people by their last names. Call them by their first names.
Ah the beautiful world of men
I thought this was a Simon Whistler channel.
I thought you were aware he was part of Simon's team since ways back.
As a Canadian I can tell you, this isnt a surprise. We have a long storied terrible history with Eugenics. Chemical weapons arent that big a stretch.
Remember when this was one of Simons channels. Till he got board with it.
Good riddance. He can go sell soap for all I care.
I love facts.... but this guy's voice just turns me off.
Interesting. Most of The World views Canada as a 'Goody-two-shoes' that has never done anything questionable. We know better now.
Yikes🙀😷🦠🔬
You got a thumbs down for referring to Canada as a 'colony'. Canada became independent of Britain in 1931.
You could argue that since Canada couldn’t fully amend its own constitution until 1982, it wasn’t actually independent until 1982. It claimed Commonwealth status in 31, and gained limited constitutional amendment power in 49, then fully separated from the UK in 82.
The US took a more straightforward and violent approach. Canada is more patient evidently 😅
Where is simon😢
Having his program updates stalled.
And the Canadians are supposed to be the "Teacher's Pet" of the world.😅
Idk how we can be the "teachers pet" when we are the ones teaching.
@@TheCanagoose
I just meant they are the World's favorite. We know most of the sins of the USA UK, France, etc. but Canada was supposed to be above even planning such things.😉
@@arrow1414 fair enough. Alot of people like to shit on us for being world peacekeepers rather than world police.
@@TheCanagoose
Sometimes you need a policeman. Who else has the power to confront Iran, China, and Russia right now? As I said, the US, among other major nations have committed sins like helping to overthrow the governments of Iran in the early 1950s and Chile in the 1970s, but you wouldn't want the US to be like Germany and wait for others to take the lead or worse become quasi Isolationist.
@@arrow1414 at least until the Republicans pull off a SUCCESSFUL coup, then it's a fascist GOP kleptocracy like their new hero, Putler, has, and he can finally ditch any pretense of democracy. That's why Putin's Russian Trolls teach the racist underbelly of the GOP (MAGA morons) to despise and distrust both the media and democracy.
