Tyler, I love this channel but you’re sounding a bit naive with the “safe, small towns with nice people” argument. Columbine, Sandy Hook and Uvalde all happened in nice, small towns. Small towns are in no way immune to severe mental illness, and some of the most vicious racism is often most entrenched in small towns and espoused by nice smiling people. One of the scariest aspects of American gun violence — which over the last several years also happens to have been committed in my instances by dudes with white supremacist manifestos — is that there is absolutely no rhyme or reason as to where it will happen. I also know a LOT of American parents who are terrified of gun violence impacting their kids’ schools and they don’t all live in large urban centres.

I love the random black dude with the shades on???

I love how people complain about crime in big metropolitan cities in the US, never once consider moving to the many thousands of small towns and rural areas in the US, but will instead move to a country with a much smaller population and then gloat about how crime ridden the US is. It's like, dude, why didn't you try moving to a small town first? Um, could it because you'd be living next to people who don't live and vote like you? Maybe the way you live and vote is how those big metro cities got the way they are.

This dude loves trouble??

Your politics aren't boring. Your guy loves taking away basic human rights. Dude's a straight killer.

Born in Canada. Dad is American. Mom is Canadian. Lived in both (Ontario Canada, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida). \nI moved back to canada just after 9/11. Dad thought my brother and I would get drafted. \n\nHealth care sucks for different reasons. The horror stories I can tell you that I'm STILL going through here in Canada is insane. \n\nLived in Texas just outside austin south/east going towards Lockhart. Different breed of human beings down that way. I loved Austin. Great food, good people. Though my dad caught shit because his parents Sicilian. Dude is a little less brown than aba. People thought he was Mexican. \n\nOther than Slag hills. Loved Pennsylvania. \n\nFlorida.. its Florida. Lived in Daytona. Too young at the time to have fun. I hated it but might have been better if I wasn't 10. \n\nI dunno. Ask me anything about both. I miss a lot about America. Dislike and like a lot about Canada. Depends on what you want to talk about.

Also man loved Degrassi was my sht growing up. Guilty pleasure, never told anyone about it cause it was kind of a thing back then for guys to enjoy 'chick shows' and degrassi kinda fell into that category long ago. Drake was cool on it, was like damn this dude talented, didnt expect the aftermath, agree completely tho dudes an L now lol. Never cared for his music, always see him as Jimmy who got shot and paralyzed on god.

Love the confidence and calmness this dude has

Love the jumper dude ?

Hey dude. I'm from Manitoba, it's not as bad as you make it. LAND OF 100,000.LAKES. BOREAL FORESTS, SANDI LANDS, CANADIAN SHIELD. WE LOVE IT.

Good on the Sikh brother well done he reacted in a loving manner not like that poor dude full of hate must have had a bad life let's pray for him to feel that love of humanity

You have to pick your battles ... Wow... We're all human beings, it's (racism) all of our battle... Spoken from a place of privileged comfort... It's hard until it happens to you and/or your loved ones ... We Don't Have to Tolerate This Shyt... Where's the allegiance dude?

Dude, if you DID understand their religion, you'd be just as terrified as the rest of us that do. Ignorance truly is bliss in this situation.... I was the same lefty-huggy-peace-love-all ignoramus before I learned more about Islam. If the people that are coming to our country are not going to put Canada and our values FIRST, then I want them out. Right now.
