Jo bole so nihal ...sat sri akal. This police guy must go to sikh gurudwara langars and must see the service sikhs provide to the every community without any discrimination....love from india

See he is blaming Canada lol!!

The cop didn’t do much wrong I see. If one has to follow these customs, better stay in India….

Sad to see a Sikh brother being charged for that .

It's amazing that when you see a pig that it's expected that they have a weapon that can kill someone on there person you don't think anything of it but you see a knife not hidden but on someone an the pig feels threatened

sikhs must be disarmed in India soon otherwise we will see the conditions of Anti farming laws where a labour was killed by these kirpan holding men , covid crisis where a police officers hand was chopped off by these kirpan holders hence at last everyone must be allowed to carry weapon otherwise no one should be allowed to carry.

Well I respect their culture and tradition but carrying knife itself makes it not so safety for one seeing him, in India burqa was asked to be taken off , why nlt knife ?

Wait until we see if we shake the current tyrannical government we have here in Canada. As it is, the PM can lock you up and freeze your bank account if you say something he doesn’t like. Sounds simplistic and exaggerated but in essence it is true. Thankfully we have a champion for freedom PIERRE POILIEVRE so there is a ray of hope. If not for his success, I’d say don’t come. Many of us will be leaving if we are not able to regain freedom here.

Sad to see this happening to a sikh guy?

I think it’s also important for them to say they don’t consider moving back or moving back in the near future if they want to naturalize as Canadians. Just in case one coconut head decides to take their words and see them as people that don’t want to be in Canada long term and frustrate their naturalization process

If he is khalistani.... No comment. We see them as terrorists. If normal Sikh, then they should not carry that knife openly. That thing must not be revealed. We all know it's part of tradition but you never show it openly in public especially in non indian area. They have the right to assume, and investigate because of cultural differences. Peace. Rot in hell if khalistani.

Isnt it supposed to be worn under cloth. If you would carry ka knife(in eyes of foreigners) then definitely its invitation for trouble. I live in punjab and have never seen someone wear a kirpan outside their clothing. See these are kind of people who are creating nuisance in Canada and making it tough for us to go. Thats why hate crime is increasing against ?? in Canada bcs of what i have heard, canadians are one of the post polite and friendly people.

As a conservative it’s time to upgrade the pussy Walmart police to military im sick of seeing these idiot cops pretending like this man is a threat

It's really sad to see these people act like this

I don't see an issue here as long as I can carry an ar15 as part of my religion ? but seriously at least he was calm and respectful... Sihks are the warriors yet every one I've ever met were the nicest most centered people you can imagine! I hope this is settled peacefully and responsibly, aka I hope the school doesn't kick him out or over exaggerate the punishment

Okay people, correct me if I'm wrong. Though arresting him is an extreme step, I just think it's not necessary to wear a Kirapani to uni. If it is an cultural event, then you can make a point about the police and uni bieng insensetive. But I see no reason to wear one in a normal day. I get that we have to stick to our roots, we also have to be logical and resonable. Tell me about what you guys think.

We also have to see things from their perspective.... these things r alien to them...it will take time for them to understand Indian religions....\nHe stayed cool that's nice

*sad to see hindus commenting against kirpan here and opposing Sikhs right to wear it*

Avoid wearing religious symbols in educational institutions. While for us it's just a holy Kripan, but try to see other's perspective as well. They might feel unsafe.

Nice brother its great to see u from 300 subs now its 900 keep going Buddy

Cop did the right thing. We all know that in sikh tradition male and even female wear Kirpan which is a symbol to protect yourself when you are in serious danger. But as we see in the video the guy is wearing on top of his shirt which absolutely incorrect it has to be worn inside not from outside

And then my Fellow Hindu brothers say that we are brother and one .\nYeah my brothers , I can see how much love and respect you have for us by seeing all the liked and comments .\n?

Bro knife toh kahi pe nhi leke jaa sakte so I don't see anything wrong in this .

The guy would have wielded kripan in india had he been tired to arrested but in USA see that law abiding guy

I'm depressed and I'm watching this video!\nMoving to Canada from a developing country made me think Canada is awesome\n\nBut after 6 years of being here and making 2500$ per month, I have become truly concerned about my future\nThe rents and mortgage rates are crazy\nI have always hated to become a poor retired but I don't see any reason to not become a poor retired considering the situation

It sounds so dumb seeing two Nigerian ladies complain about standard of living in Canada while their own country is 1000000 times worse. I felt ashamed watching this as a Nigerian and I realised people would always keep complaining. Dear ladies if Nigeria was 20% as good as canada , it would be a thing to rejoice about. Leave those who are born citizens of canada to do the complaining not you.

I left because I wanted to see the world... and... I didn't move back because of taxes.... what a joke the tax system is in Canada.

I love you ladies you are the hope of Africa I can see you are sick and just tired ? of the white world

Don't see the fuss in running to that place Run there for what? The cold miserable climate? The racism? The marginalization and retraining even though you're more qualified than your supervisor? I say let them all die then go there and make a claim .

If you want to save your wealth, you should have a TFSA. The reason why Canada's cost of living is high is that the interest rates are too low. It built an unreal housing market. It is no different in the U.S. I find it concerning those immigrants in Canada who complain about healthcare, all I can say is, if you take care of yourself and plan carefully for your own healthcare, it will work. If you want to see waste, incompetence, and extreme costs, you need to visit the U.S. as a resident for a while. Sounds like you ladies should leave.

Hi, I am canadian born and I totally agree with what you are saying. I am from quebec however and here you can chose to see a private physician if you have the $ to pay for it. Also Montréal definitely has more of a party and fun vibe than any other city I have visited. BUT over all I totally agree. I love your insight!

Omo D.R.A.K.E is the draw for me.. \nI want to visit that Toronto just one time for the GOAT.. just to see where the best music of all time came from...\nI've already been to Houston so NWTS, I get it.. Half of it.. I need Toronto to complete that Journey

Yes the racism is very high here. \nMany people come here for a better life but that is very hard to find now days in Canada. Governments here, on every level have let Canadians down . They stopped investing in affordable housing. They haven’t provide enough placement for education of medical staff over decades and now we don’t have enough nurses and doctors. \nWe need better educated voters but of course they don’t put enough money into education. It’s seems people prefer voting for bullies rather than people who actually care about the people and the land that feeds us. Jagmeet Singh is s good leader but would Canadians vote in a person of colour with an agenda to actual help the people and the environment, probably not. It really is sad because Canada did provide a lot more for people in the past. But it’s always been a racist country unfortunately, just look at its history. \nI love this country and I see the politicians saying oh free healthcare doesn’t work while behind the scenes they are the ones not providing the training of medical professionals. They line the pockets of corporations Like the fossil fuel industry. Those are our resources. Taxes paid is our money. We need to be smarter voters and louder voices to demand our governments do their job. Protecting and caring for the land and the people and animals that live here. It really comes down to us the people. \nWhy does a country as rich as Canada have homeless people , because the leaders don’t care and the voters don’t care enough to demand more. \nI can’t blame immigrants for leaving. Plus it is bloody cold here lol

I came to Toronto in 2018 to visit Canada for the first time, and I went to an Italian restaurant where they were obviously very prejudiced and did not like to see a black man eating there. My GF then forced us to stay when I expressed my unease staying in that restaurant, but the drink and the food were just disgusting and I believe they did serve us that way on purpose. I even felt like they spat in my food. For a moment, I felt like I wanted to punch the arrogant and condescend manager in a face, but the grace of God wouldn't allow me to do such thing! I am not tempted to come back there anytime soon!

Surprised to see someone that looks like my little girl ,the lady in black

well i spend almost 13 hours in the bahamas to see doctor

Cant finish watching because it disappoints me seeing Africans moving to Canada thinking you can get rich and build an empire , well we are in 2020 where we are living neocolonialism ..actually that’s the modern slavery (taxes ) yet you can build an empire in your continent .please work in Canada and build in the motherland there we are talking thank you .

Thanks for sharing but its all over the western economies system you don't get to keep any thing but deth an stresse hopefully we will all wake up an see who is the demon

I thought moving to Canada was life changing it is my wish but seeing this now i don't know it Anymore!

WHY UNA NEVER COMMOT SEE THIER MOUTH LOL

AS SOMEONE WHO CALLS CANADA A HOME AWAY FROM HOME.... I FIND THIS INSULTING AND SERIOUSLY FLAWED. COME TO ANERICA AND SEE IF YOU'LL KEEP SAYING HOW EXPENSIVE CANADA IS. THAT COUNTRY OPENED THEIR DOORS TO YOU AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO DISRESPECT THEM LIKE THAT? \n\nWAYNE PARCHEMAN\nCEO OF QUANTUM STEREO

I was considering leaving the UK for Canada but might have to reconsider after now seeing this vid?

Successful people don't just become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

LOL next time you go to British Columbia go to where I'm from and it's a little Valley called blueberry Creek it's in the interior about 400 mi from Vancouver Vancouver isn't as bad as you say it seems that way but truly I lived there for about 10-15 years after I grew up in blueberry and it is definitely unpredictable that's for sure you have to take an umbrella with you or a raincoat or a sweater or something cuz you could go out in the morning it's bright and sunny and by the time you get to the bus stop it's raining that is very true but it doesn't last long there is certain seasons that it rains but if you look at the meteorology it really isn't that much more than anywhere else and gloomy you want to talk about gloomy you live in Alberta I live there for quite a while and one morning I woke up and I just couldn't take it anymore all you see is different shades of gray and brown so I packed up and went home and finally saw green again I'm glad you guys are in Canada but boy do I hear you I used to be middle class owned a home and some land and then I became homeless because yes that's what our government is trying to do they don't want me to class people we have too much power when Harris came into power he almost succeeded in wiping out the middle class dirt poor have no say in anything so I'm trapped here I hope you guys have the freedom to go where you like I really do you guys are great

Lol. You knew you were black when you got to Canada? Wait until you see America! ? I can't believe you've lived in the states and think America is better on any front outside of weather.

Meanwhile the indigenous tribes of Canada would love to have their country back. Immigration makes everyone miserable: the ones who see their country and communities taken over by strangers and the immigrant that invariably learns there's no place like home.

You look like two very intelligent women. Why didn’t you visit Canada first to see if it was a place that would fit your lifestyle? \nI hope that you find your perfect country in your next move.

See the response from the Ghanaian girl made me feel happy....these Nigerians are just shameful....yea...I'll definitely leave for Nigeria sometime along the line

so what we de see in movies na lie?

It is probably wrong assumption on my part, but I have noticed black women complain of loneliness in Canada. \nI'm curious of, why that is, because rarely do I see men residing in Canada complain of loneliness. Is dating difficult for black women in Canada? I'm genuinely curious this topic.
