It is factual that the North West Mounted Police patrolled the border with the US during the gold rush to keep the criminal element out of Dawson City and maintain law and order in the area. They even needed a detachment of the military to help them keep Dawson safe, so before you go all "USA" in this video look up the Yukon Field Force and Soapy Smith before you brand this video propaganda. Compare the relative law and order of Dawson City with that of Skagway, Alaska at the time.
@Knoss Apparently, this was an actual incident between Steele and an American. While most of the dialogue was made-up, apparently the line, "In that case I'll be lenient..." was word-for-word in the actual incident.
Americans were disarmed but Canadians were not. Many towns in the American west controlled by a single corporation in industries like mining and cattle practiced forced disarmament of newcomers exchanging guns for a metal token. It was about looking good to investors back int he major cities.
Actually if you read about Steele he was not the man shown here. Sam got to write history in these parts so you can see the outcome.
Sam Steele was implicated in a few dirty contracts. Including a political appointment during the first world war. he was denied a leadership role by the british due to his lack of experience.
The northwest mounted police were scum they took off the streets of Toronto to chase down Riel. There was no honour in the police or the natives they were chasing.
@summer20105707 Not a claim, an oberservation. You won't find it in the mountie museum. Hit the books I am not in the business of educating others............
I don't mean to be rude to you or anyone. But calling these pioneering recruits scum is unsubstantiated. Besides in the States you have your own share of respected legendary lawmen whose methods today would be considered barbaric. Wyattt Earp Elliot Ness etc. The mounties did what they were supposed to do. They brought law to our west.
@summer20105707 I am afraid I have to accept the methods in a modern context. Basic Human rights laws have not changed in a century in Canada. The methods used were backward and showed no value. Are you aware of the issues that still exsist with the native population due to the draconian ways used to quell this non issue? Reil was not as much a threat as our government was and still is today to the native population.
@LukaScepanovic1 They have the heritage of Aboriginals, Britain and France and other countries' immigrants. Why do you speak of it like it doesn't count? Why do you even airquote the word heritage? Every country in the world's heritage is made from whoever inhabited it since immemorial times and/or proceeded to settle it.
Some countries are older than others,even are the part of the heritage of other younger countries, but there is no limit on what is old enough or good enough to be part of it.
Fuck you stupid Canadians. That is not a typical American. That is what your told to believe Americans are like. I keep forgetting how liberal and nice a guy Harper is.
Stupid Canadians, look at yourselves in the mirror. And Stephen Harper is extremely right wing, maybe you should study your Canadian politics a little more. That is if your'e one of the few Americans left that can read at anything higher than a 4th grade level.
@damonster667 How are we stupid? Its a very entertaining 60 second heritage commercial. Its has nothing to do with USA vs Canada.
The intent of this heritage minute was to demonstrate the great job the NWMP did at being our police force back in the day. They didnt treat him bad because he was an American. they were just doing their job of enforcing our laws in the north.
@Knoss The people who made the Heritage moment probably thought it would be cruel to depict just what a bunch of drooling fucking morons Americans were when they came staggering up to the Yukon looking to line their pockets with OUR fucking gold. Sam Steele had to mandate that the fucking idiots carry one ton of provisions with them, and had to set standards for the kinds of boats that they could use, because so many of them were killing themselves by coming unprepared.
lol at Knoss, there was no violence involved with our guns? AND OUR GOLDRUSH? Gold Rush + Guns = people getting shot all over the place, common sense.
@Knoss The result was "not violence" because of the work of the RCMP. The Heritage Minutes stories are told in 60 seconds. So yes, the moment depicted here may not be a depiction of a particular documented incident, but it represents the greater work of the RCMP during the gold rush. Your ignorance claim is itself ignorant.
You weren't listening. The American wasn't told he couldn't possess a gun in Canada. He was told he couldn't wear it on his body in the open. He was told to pack his firearms in his saddlebags. He didn't comply. He got sent home. Pretty lenient compared to today's border crossing procedures I'd say.
Major General Sir Samuel Benfield Steele, CB, KCMG, MVO (5 January 1849 – 30 January 1919) was a distinguished Canadian and soldier. He was the famous member of the North-West Mounted Police and Commanding Officer of Lord Strathcona's Horse during the Boer War.
american didnt consider canada a country during that time. canada became a country in 1867 but still a British colony Canada was not created fully independent, as the United Kingdom retained legislative control over Canada, and full control over Canadian foreign policy. canadian were british subject during that time until 1947. canada became a full nation in 1982.
Men don't ware pistols in Canada. That was not true, Yale town on the Fraser had a gun fight rate that made Tombstone Arizona look tame. These heritage commercials are overlooking historical accuracy for modern political correctness. That is a pity. Why not really tell it it was. Sam Steel here is very accurate except for that one line.
Hey! thats Don S. Davis of stargate fame! You know the guy i mean.. from the vid.. the ignorant American with anger issues! Just like their boys imn the military! And the ones finished their tours of duty!.. what are they called again... Veterans is it?
Hey CRTV1982.. is that what they call washed up old duche bags who supposedly "served" in the military and then sit at home with post truamatic stress disorder and bitch at other people on youtube for having a different oppinion then then?
Good representation of america, the cowboy. Shoot first, the more is the better with the biggest gun then if theres survivor, ask question then shoot again. How to solve problem with more problem, watch bowling for Columbine with open mind, you will get a lot about america and his guns. Its all about killing a fly with a nuclear bomb....
@gcndoyon18 Bowling for Columbine is a fraud. Why do you think the History Channel refuses to air it?

A bunch of punk gangsters from seattle came into my town (in canada) and shot up the laser tag venue of all places, killing the guy on shift. They went down to the arcade to brag about it and got hauled off by the cops. We need more Sam Steeles about keeping dirty americans from shooting up my canada.
You know you sound just like Mayor Daley of Shitcago: "Oh yes our hand gun ban is working out just" BAM BAM "You see it is the rest of America's fault! They need to enact some moderate gun control like us, we are not asking much just licensing, registration, excessive taxes, and an eventual ban! Geez, it is not like we are asking you to give up your liberty! Gigas this is to you you Daley-Bloomberg wanna-be, FUCK YOU!
@Gigas0101 Really? So do you believe that they need to place more restrictions on voting? Next, my scores on my high school, college, and military exams show a different picture than me being stupid. If you were not so indoctrinated maybe you would see that gun control does nothing to stop, prevent, or even slow crime.
@CRTV1982 Considering how george bush got two terms in office twice I do believe americans should place more restrictions on voting. Actually, why would someone with presumably high test scores feel compelled to needlessly spout their views on gun control in the youtube replies of a Canadian Heritage video?
@Gigas0101 Or how Obama got elected. As for the gun control comments, I was not the first to say anything on the issue but you have some friends that made the comments so I responded to them.
@CRTV1982 wouldn't really count them as friends seeing as how my views would offend them as much as they would you. Obama got into power because he looks like a chimp, same as bush. Granted Obama wants to see america catch up with the rest of the world concerning health care and Bush wanted to avenge his poor daddy's loss in the middle east so he faked 9/11...
@Gigas0101 Catch up to the rest of the world in Healthcare? Why is it then that Canadians who can afford to do so come to the US for healthcare? Obama and your crowd mean by that is you guys want government controlling healthcare. BTW, if you think the government faked 9-11 then why are you for giving handing over more power and control to them?
@CRTV1982 Ever heard of faster service...... In Canada those that need immediate attention GET IT! So stick your finger in your ass and suck your shit bottle because you got Healthcare like Canada's now. Dick.
@SniperViper1000 No they don't, first off. Second, BOcare will be gone with the next Congress so I am not too worried. Thanks to this bill the DNC won't control Congress for a very long time come this next election. Finally, you have a very dirty mouth for a 12 year old.
@SniperViper1000 Oh, I am real f-king impressed. I am a veteran and I have already got my diploma from high school. I have also seen how government run healthcare works overseas and in the US (keyword VA). I doubt you have even seen a private doctor so you can take your little ego a stick it where the sun don't shine.
@Gigas0101 And BTW, I have been to other parts of the world, I have seen British "healthcare" in action and I can tell you I would rather have US healthcare any time for any problem.
That is not your typical American gun owner most of us are not looking just to shoot someone or use our firearms to coerce anyone. Now many of us will draw to defend ourselves from imminent danger from someone threatening our lives. BTW If that man was really the type to draw down on a man in that fashion he would have shot him.
i'm sure there are other alternatives to defense then pulling out your gun on someone
thats nice, where is your neighbourhood a small town? I live in a big city and i know a lot of crazy people who live around my neighbourhood who carry bb's and shoot little kids.. imagine if they got their hands on guns?
if you think im joking or making fun of people stop replying
And do you think that if there was a country wide ban of firearms that criminals will turn in there guns? I live in a big city too, and laws or no laws criminals will always be able to get a hold of guns.
You ever handle a firearm? Are you military, LE, or something? No? Where per say do you get your info from regarding firearms? TV? Hollywood? Some Gun Control group? So no first hand experience, just what others have told you? So you were told your opinion? How is that not brainwashed again?
@TheStar73 Dumb? HA that would be a compliment to you.
You are a complete fucking moron, and from the comment you left on my channel it sounds like you are a self admitted rapist, and probably a diddler. You need to just die. Do the world a favor and put a bag over your head you sick fuck.
I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you were only joking but since you have proven yourself that naive, I will continue. Ppl in your neighborhood are shooting kids with bb's, well many kids did that growing up for fun even when they had access to firearms with live ammo so where do you think the problem lies? As for other means of defense, it more often than not involves someone or both parties getting hurt. A firearm ends the situation without any violence in most case.
silly little american, it was merely an assumption, though I'm quite sure it was an accurate one. On top of that a stupid yankee telling a truly superior canadian they have a "little mind" is a remarkable joke, you should go into comedy.
Yes I live in a small town, I used to live in a big city too though. A big reason I moved was because of idiots like you. If I was ever to move back to a big city again, you are damn straight I would want every single one of my firearms at myy disposal for self-defense. If someone is going to try to kill you, it won't matter if they have a gun or not, they will try anyway. You are damn right I would want a female relative armed to offset the general size difference between males and females.
Okay let me put it to you this way. I am not telling you that YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GUN, what I am saying is DON'T TRY TO FORCE BEING DISARMED ON ANYONE ELSE. My right does not end just because 1, 2, or even 10,000 morons tell me that (or anyone else for that matter) that our property is being taken away for the "greater good".
What liberal BS.... "We don't carry pistols in Canada"......... we did until the fricking liberal party decided we didn't have a right to defend ourselves.
You are a complete moron. You say that now, but it your wife was kidnapped, raped repeatedly, and had cigarettes put out on her face for a week straight, you'd change your idiot Liberal mind
People in Canada don't own guns? Wow that's strange.. I'm in Canada and I own guns... strange... There is enough guns in Canada to equip every single family here... get your fucking facts straight
Okay, I see your priorities that you would just sacrifice your relatives in the name of Gun Control. Are you aware that gun control has been used for a good while and that it has nothing to do with crime control as some would have you believe?
You know in my neighborhood just about everyone owns a firearm and we are yet to see one of those "Wild West" shoot outs that you liberals keep talking about. Chicago on the other hand where firearms are pretty much banned is seeing quite a large number of killings, including handgun killings.
of course your good with it why wouldt you be? aslong as its not you thats affected why should anyone who actualy might be affected be able to have a say in the matter.. asshole
So you're okay with one woman being raped. How many women being raped is too many for you? 10? 100? 1000? How many would it take for you to rather they be allowed to defend themselves?
I had a dream after seeing this once that I was Sam Steele, and I had to stop a wily American who was trying to smuggle Beanie Babies into the Klondike. I don't remember if I actually stopped him...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Lol this is the worst one. The American is a drunken old slob and the Canadians are all noble and stoic. Even I, as a Canadian, am disgusted by it... But it's funny lol.
@Roboboogey1990 It's propaganda against Americans. This must be why I hate America... Oh well, its not as bad as that nazi propaganda against jews, because all Americans ARE fat violent drunk slobs.
It's a historic retelling of something that actually happened. People who looked for gold fields were rednecks trying to make a fortune 'cause they didn't have work. The elite police officer in Canada has to act professional, since he's doing his job. Nowhere does this video slightly suggest that ALL Americans are like the guy and ALL Canadians are like Sam Steele.
Lots of the nazi propaganda never said ALL jews were hideous rodent like people, but they certainly showed them as such, and nazi's were always portrayed as very noble heroic looking.
Heritage Minutes could have at least shown some of the negative of our history, it's no less a part of our heritage right? But Canadians are always shown as noble and great, while Americans are always obnoxious and loud bad people. Like in the Sitting bull one.
It's a good point, although there are ones that have a kind of underlying negative tone, like the Chinese miner one that blew up the mine and lived to tell about it. That was, well, a positive for Chinese Canadians, but a pretty negative look on White Canadian slave owners or whatever.
@NoisyWolfXII I was actually going to point that one out, cause if I remember correctly he seemed pretty happy to help when he was talking to his grand kids xD haha and he willingly goes in after he explodes, it's not like they forced him the second time, I'm not sure about the first.. I'd be really surprised to find out that was historically accurate. Ah well, whatever, I'm not sure if it was supposed to be propaganda or not. Just something I observed as a kid growing up with the commercials.
Well, comparatively, we actually have been more "noble". All history is rather dark but Canada's was unusually less so when compared to other nations. Of course they don't want to show anything dark though, why would they? Just because it isn't objective doesn't make it propaganda though. It's just an organized presentation of historical facts with a predisposition to bias in showing the nicer stuff.
Funniest part was that all Sam Steele suggested was keep your pistols in your saddle bags, or go home...Take it as one up but the gold rush drove many to just do whatever it takes to make dough, but be smart about it, and saddle that shit up.
And this is why I'm sad that I'm an American. I mean, I'm proud of some parts, but to think that many of us still act this way today disgusts me. Not to say that other peoples of other countries don't do the same thing, just that Americans are the most well known for their ignorance, arrogance, and all around assholiness. Probably gonna get thumbs down for this, since I am an American, but I gotta post it anyways.
Actually there are pretty bad people in Canada too, and I'm not saying this to offend Canada since I'm Canadian. There are lots of good people in America, too. As long as YOU are a good person you shouldn't need to worry about the rest of America.
It is factual that the North West Mounted Police patrolled the border with the US during the gold rush to keep the criminal element out of Dawson City and maintain law and order in the area. They even needed a detachment of the military to help them keep Dawson safe, so before you go all "USA" in this video look up the Yukon Field Force and Soapy Smith before you brand this video propaganda. Compare the relative law and order of Dawson City with that of Skagway, Alaska at the time.

if people were not stupid I wouldn't have any problem with them having power. If you were not stupid I might take your opinion seriously.
Gigas0101 1 year ago
@Gigas0101 Really? So do you believe that they need to place more restrictions on voting? Next, my scores on my high school, college, and military exams show a different picture than me being stupid. If you were not so indoctrinated maybe you would see that gun control does nothing to stop, prevent, or even slow crime.
CRTV1982 1 year ago
@CRTV1982 Considering how george bush got two terms in office twice I do believe americans should place more restrictions on voting. Actually, why would someone with presumably high test scores feel compelled to needlessly spout their views on gun control in the youtube replies of a Canadian Heritage video?
Gigas0101 1 year ago
@Gigas0101 Or how Obama got elected. As for the gun control comments, I was not the first to say anything on the issue but you have some friends that made the comments so I responded to them.
CRTV1982 1 year ago
@CRTV1982 wouldn't really count them as friends seeing as how my views would offend them as much as they would you. Obama got into power because he looks like a chimp, same as bush. Granted Obama wants to see america catch up with the rest of the world concerning health care and Bush wanted to avenge his poor daddy's loss in the middle east so he faked 9/11...
Gigas0101 1 year ago
@Gigas0101 Catch up to the rest of the world in Healthcare? Why is it then that Canadians who can afford to do so come to the US for healthcare? Obama and your crowd mean by that is you guys want government controlling healthcare. BTW, if you think the government faked 9-11 then why are you for giving handing over more power and control to them?

That is not your typical American gun owner most of us are not looking just to shoot someone or use our firearms to coerce anyone. Now many of us will draw to defend ourselves from imminent danger from someone threatening our lives. BTW If that man was really the type to draw down on a man in that fashion he would have shot him.
CRTV1982 1 year ago
i'm sure there are other alternatives to defense then pulling out your gun on someone
thats nice, where is your neighbourhood a small town? I live in a big city and i know a lot of crazy people who live around my neighbourhood who carry bb's and shoot little kids.. imagine if they got their hands on guns?

I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you were only joking but since you have proven yourself that naive, I will continue. Ppl in your neighborhood are shooting kids with bb's, well many kids did that growing up for fun even when they had access to firearms with live ammo so where do you think the problem lies? As for other means of defense, it more often than not involves someone or both parties getting hurt. A firearm ends the situation without any violence in most case.

Yes I live in a small town, I used to live in a big city too though. A big reason I moved was because of idiots like you. If I was ever to move back to a big city again, you are damn straight I would want every single one of my firearms at myy disposal for self-defense. If someone is going to try to kill you, it won't matter if they have a gun or not, they will try anyway. You are damn right I would want a female relative armed to offset the general size difference between males and females.

You know in my neighborhood just about everyone owns a firearm and we are yet to see one of those "Wild West" shoot outs that you liberals keep talking about. Chicago on the other hand where firearms are pretty much banned is seeing quite a large number of killings, including handgun killings.

It's a historic retelling of something that actually happened. People who looked for gold fields were rednecks trying to make a fortune 'cause they didn't have work. The elite police officer in Canada has to act professional, since he's doing his job. Nowhere does this video slightly suggest that ALL Americans are like the guy and ALL Canadians are like Sam Steele.
NoisyWolfXII 2 years ago 3
@NoisyWolfXII I know, it was a joke (kinda). =p
Lots of the nazi propaganda never said ALL jews were hideous rodent like people, but they certainly showed them as such, and nazi's were always portrayed as very noble heroic looking.
Heritage Minutes could have at least shown some of the negative of our history, it's no less a part of our heritage right? But Canadians are always shown as noble and great, while Americans are always obnoxious and loud bad people. Like in the Sitting bull one.
RandomNPC15 2 years ago
It's a good point, although there are ones that have a kind of underlying negative tone, like the Chinese miner one that blew up the mine and lived to tell about it. That was, well, a positive for Chinese Canadians, but a pretty negative look on White Canadian slave owners or whatever.
NoisyWolfXII 2 years ago
@NoisyWolfXII I was actually going to point that one out, cause if I remember correctly he seemed pretty happy to help when he was talking to his grand kids xD haha and he willingly goes in after he explodes, it's not like they forced him the second time, I'm not sure about the first.. I'd be really surprised to find out that was historically accurate. Ah well, whatever, I'm not sure if it was supposed to be propaganda or not. Just something I observed as a kid growing up with the commercials.
RandomNPC15 2 years ago
Well, comparatively, we actually have been more "noble". All history is rather dark but Canada's was unusually less so when compared to other nations. Of course they don't want to show anything dark though, why would they? Just because it isn't objective doesn't make it propaganda though. It's just an organized presentation of historical facts with a predisposition to bias in showing the nicer stuff.
