[hawickman]

I am ex British RMP, always love and trust the Canadians. Loyal to a man. Best backup ever

[wallyd611]

LMFAO canada? REALLY? HAHAHAHAHAA... THEY DON'T DO SHIT

[PcGamerPaul]

is that our gasmasks or paintball mask?

[NathansDavid]

I love that this canadian military focuses most of it's efforts on peacekeeping and helping people. it's what this world needs. Thank you canadian soldiers, from Dave in Ireland.

[Nickael7]

Long live My beloved CANADA, long live the canadian humble soldiers who died and served the nation. For peace and prosperity. Always to serve and protect those who are in need.

A Proud US Navy Veteran!

I love the pic where they helped the civilian get on stuck from the snow. True Canadian curtosy.lol

[ParanoidKitty]

lol no doubt. I think it's because us Canadians know what snow is and we know how to get out of it. LMFAO

[TheToxicEffect]

@ParanoidKitty its because we actually know that its really a pain in the ass so we help people so that they do not suffer it too :)

[chrishaha1]

@ParanoidKitty the car had 4 season tires

[bethandjason100]

I support all the troops 100% I am a true Canadian but there all over there doing the same fight bring them home safe!!

God Bless

[TheBitchgal]

another thing! For those that keep saying bring home the troops they are dying! Look at the stats. We have sent approximately 40000 (just in KAF itself) and have lost 120 (I know 1 is alot but remember this is a combat zone). That is 0.3%. Imagine that! Less than 1%. You have greater odds of dieing while walking down your street. By the time this mission is over we will have sent approx 50,000 troops. At the current odds we will loose 30 more. We know the odds yet keep going. Support the troops.

[TheBitchgal]

Thanks paranoidkitty for posting this vid! Both my husband and I serve! Our kids have more "adopted" military family than blood relatives. My husband is heading over in the fall and I will probably head out when he gets back. This is our way of life and it is nice to receive support from fellow Canadians. It upsets me though when I hear the rantings of those who do not support the troops. Then I remember it is exactally that reason that we keep going. FREEDOM for ALL.

[futuredirector1990]

Canadian I live

Canadian when I die

Canadian After I die

Canadian 4 all Eterinity

GOD Bless Canada and it's Soldiers

[StivenMKD]

Love from Macedonia.

[benboobop]

Im alot smarter then you, because i respect all the troops, american and other countrys. stop giving your country a bad name.

[NoelvilleGuitarHero]

[benboobop]

I wish you the best of luck NoelvilleGuitarHero , and all of the troops. :)

[NoelvilleGuitarHero]

[frale12345]

[Andrewfly24]

[ANIAGIRLZ]

[PSP10893]

what's the name of the song

i like it

[ParanoidKitty]

Avril Lavigne - Keep Holding On

I think

[mlharvie]

Well done.

[KoolKat857]

It reminds me so much about what my cousin was fighting for and how he died trying. R.I.P. Andrew Grenon!

[cplcdoum]

I have one thing to say...Thank you, MERCI!

[ParanoidKitty]

For what?

[cplcdoum]

for your support. I'm leaving for afghanistan for the 2nd time soone and it's well appreciated to have support from canadians.

[Rangalla80]

hey good luck man

[geisteskrankheit]

yeah, it's pretty bad when the only people who support me are those on youtube. my family and friends don't support my choice. it sucks at first but to me, it's not something i need support from those i care about. knowing i'm fighting to keep them safe makes me feel better even though they don't want to accept it. my line to my cousins who say i'm stupid for being in the army is "if you won't stand behind your troops ... atleast stand in front of us" :)

[alexnscn]

where are you posted?

[geisteskrankheit]

vacouver

[geisteskrankheit]

vancouver* oops. and thanks paranoidkitty.

[ParanoidKitty]

You are not the first to say this. Your family and friends just don't understand, plus they want you safe and purposely going into riskful situations scares them because they love you. They may never understand. I support all of you, which is why I made this video. The Canadian accomplishment and success makes me smile daily, and I cry as the death toll rises. I mourn each and every loss without ever knowing each soldier. I commend each and every 1 of you.

[person107]

awesome video!

[grave389]

don't take war as a joke its something that takes soldiers lives away from their family's

[ben12342666]

im reading a bunch of comments from these tribute videos and its very touching to see how many of u acctually care about us returning home safley and care that were doing this for u but honestly we dont do it for the money, or to be known. we do it because its our job and we want to keep you safe.

[ParanoidKitty]

It is amazing isn't it? I never thought this video would get as much attention and comments as it has, and I have the YouTube fans to thank. Without our soldiers this video wouldn't have been possible, and without our soldiers... Canada wouldn't be what it is today. Thank you.

[yamamato44]

It's pretty bad to see it in print, but thats the same line of reasoning that prevented myself from going into the CF.

[ParanoidKitty]

I don't think so. Soldiers are heros, but everyday people around the world are heros at home, everyday heros come from everyday people. Some people just cannot do the CF, it doesn't make you a wimp or any less of a person. =)

[yamamato44]

I just meant that the reason I never enlisted is because of the moralistic issue- I know very few Canadians worth dying for, in a combat zone that may or may not have any impact on the country I am loyal to. However, these are just my issues, I'm not bashing service-folk.

[ParanoidKitty]

Ahh, I getcha! I respect your way of thinking. Thanks for the comment =)

[dizy455]

i will pass this on go canadin toops

[demosthenets]

thanks for showing people care about the people across the seas.

[BOXofGLOCKZ]

excellent video, all my respect goes to you soldiers

[demosthenets]

these soldiers are payed shit work long long hours and are basicly sent over seas to kill people. and people wonder why some soldiers who come back are manicly depressive, or have shellshock. war is useless. just anotehr way of the government having easy access to lock a country down, take away rights and privacy. i wont go to war, not that i wont stand for canada, but because i refuse to kill for the pleasure of our government.

[InFlames44]

you got some fucking issues man that you should sort out.otherwise youll be a very unhappy person througout your life.

[halflife103]

wow man i looked at your earlier post and i thought you were great, but this comment showed something not so great. they are not sent to kill people. we are peeckeepers, but i do agree with you. i wont go to war for the goverment but for the canadians and to help the people in iraq.

[demosthenets]

thats what disturbs me the most "peace keepers" there no different than a regular soldier only they avoid direct conflict, they still kill people, no canadian soldier has died in combat, we have the best military, mabey not the biggestbut deffinatly the hardest to kill. only canadian soldiers to die were in roadside bombings or not so friendly fire. just dont forget, peace keepers or not there still sent over to kill people. supression of the taliban.

[halflife103]

yea i alweys forget about that.... aparently we match the US's skills bracause we use not so updated technoligy so when we have the new stuff were really good. but yea i ahvent heard of them dying any other way.... cool

[taykrismar]

i think i can speak for most military brats when i say thanks for making a good video for our soldiers.

[ParanoidKitty]

Aww, it was the least I could do for the great things they have done, and are doing for us and many countries around the world.

[Titming]

go canadian go (for the soldier and the hockey teams)

[leejames929]

our troops deserv all the respect we give tham and mutch more thank u for puting this great video up to supoort the our troops

[LABOMBA420]

key888ghost, you are a piece of shit! you are not a canadian, you are equivalent to the gum under my shoe. if it was not for the canadian soldiers you said belong in a ditch, this world would be speaking german and yelling "seig heil!" be thankful you scumbag.

[natebmartin3030]

Thank you brothers. Proud to serve with you.

[spartan230]

key u fuckin asshole show the army some respect they trained their ass's off so they could help make a differnce they arnt fucking shit u asshole!

[bobmar1y]

key888ghost I hope you rot in hell you ungreatful fuck tard, cock monger peace of shit you should be thrown out of Canada for not cairing about the people who gave there lives so you can injoy the freedom you have today.

[sniperM02]

RE:key888ghost:- hey asshole, i am a former armed forces memeber and i have friends overseas. people like you should be sent to places like afghanistan so you can see first hand what these men and women have to deal with day in and day out. if you enjoy freedom remeber that it came at the cost of human life. sacrifices made by SOLDIERS who defend the fredoms of all even sacks of shit like you!!!!!

[thebigguy377893]

key888ghost you are a worthless piece of shit and should be grateful that men and women are willing to sacrifice themselves for people like you. So why don't you show some fucking respect you worthless piece of shit!

[key888ghost]

We should just leave the soldiers corpses to rot overseas. Don't bother with burial or coffins. Just roll them into a ditch and put a tarp over them so Afghans don't complain abou the smell when they're out celebrating. Ha Ha!

[CanadianMedic074]

You should be thankful that men and women are willing to ensure that you have the right to spout off about things you probably don't know anything about other than what you read in the supermarket tabloids. You obviously know nothing about the atrocities that were being committed by the Taliban government. You obviously know nothing about the great things that Canadian troops are doing for the people of Afghanistan.

You inconsiderate, ungrateful, ignorant, sac of wasted flesh.

[infanteer2k]

You are clearly not Canadian and not much of an individual. You probably have no life, friends, future, etc... so do not post comments like that until you are worthy of a second thought. If that confuses you, just close your web browser and go to sleep.

[gonexforever13]

you ungrateful little piece of horse shit.

They are over there risking their fucking LIVES. and THATS what you think we should do as a final respect to them? Again, i repeat, you fucking piece of shit. How DARE you. Why dont you go say what you did in front of the 78 families thatll never see their bro&sis,mother,father,son or daughter again. Go tell them that you dont care about their relatives ultimate sacrifice...go tell them that you think they should just rot over there. You bastard.

[scurran24]

you are the biggest piece of shit i have ever. how can you say that they should put a tarp over our bodies. you go to afaghastan and see what my brothers in arms are dealing with. you should be front lines. you should be shot at. grow up and learn some respect

[demosthenets]

go over seas with a shitty rifle and fight the talaban. then you will die. so go fucking rot in a ditch. there brave people. they fight for the country and not the government

[jimmyphack]

Your problem Is the fact You are not from Canada And you immigrated here. I had immigrants from the middle east tell me remembrance day is a racist symbol. You don't like it or our traditions? gtfo. No one has a use for disrespectfull people.

[demosthenets]

fuck you. im pure canadian. that was a reply to key888ghost. no canadian soldiers have died in battle. all of the canadian soldiers were killed in car bombings and friendly fire. i would not fight for the shitty canadian government. stephen harper can go suck a cock. i would go over and fight for the canadian people. because shitheads like key888ghost wont. so dont dis me. id you wont stand behind our troops, feel free to stand infront of them.

[mishimasword]

The more of these "Support our troops" videos that I watch the more confused I get. This is G.W.Bush's war, not Canada's, what in the hell are we doing there? Stop being America's hat Canada, Canadian blood should not be spilled for something the yanks started. They got themselves in it, they should get themselves out.

[ParanoidKitty]

Canada is over there doing what we normally do, cleaning up and helping the country learn to stand on its own feet. Our death toll has now come to 74, due to road side bombs and whatnot durring our cleanup mission. We are also training the afghan police how to police, and thier army how to defend. It's what Canada does. It is Bushs war, we are just the cleanup crew.

[curtinder69]

were the spearhead, not the "clean up crew"

[Halofreak1010]

America's war is their war in Iraq, "The war of taroism" Canada's war is in Afganistan as peackeepers, we have permission from the Afgan Goverment. Not like America, their just invading Iraq.

[tpb4fuk]

when an american says somthing like that dont retaliate take the highroad

[Fubarask]

Coward

[ChretienDeTroyesIII]

Is it any wonder why most of the world really doesn't like them that much and look at the source, he cant even spell a three letter word (GOD) properly. Its really to bad because its people like this that give all the good American's a bad name.

[duckjm17]

i wanted so say thank u canadians for being in afghanistan with us (U.S.) it is appreciated..rnepinak if u think its good to see people dying u need help

[rnepinak]

good ole american ignorance. a country of racists, gangs, mexicans and immigrants. it's good seeing americans dying in iraq!

[klink1983]

I dont like americans either.....but your just a retard!

[denysbolgak]

your a retard... Doesnt matter that hes an american and that hes an idiot... people dying is still people...

[stefansmom]

hey great job done paranoid kitty my cousin is in afghannistan serving with the PPCLI currently. thank you from my family for showing the courage and the little things that out troops do in the world to keep the freedoms and things we take for granted here part of the world.

[ParanoidKitty]

Thank you so much, that means a lot. I do not know anyone serving, or thought I didn't when I made this video but one of my friends from my old town perished in Afghanistan sadly. I am just a girl who truly loves her country and this video means the world to me.

[sailorgirl4ER]

Thank you so much for being careful with the content for this video. It will be wonderful to use in my classroom next year.

[ParanoidKitty]

I was just curious how using this vide in your classroom went. It still makes me tear up when I watch it. =)

[anarrih]

I realy like they way your honering our troops

thanks so much my cuosin is in the army i thnk

he will apretiat it!

[ParanoidKitty]

Thanks. Even though I knew/know a few of them, they are great people and deserve so much more than this lame video I think. I hope your cousin likes i as much as you did. =)

[cyberjunky26]

Thank you for posting this video! We need to respect and honour our soldiers at home and abroad. Buy your "support our troops" bumber stickers and show your support! God speed to all our men and women in the armed forces, we are thinking about you!

[jimboortiz34]

go canada go

[broden04]

canada rocks but the canadian soldiers are better thnk you soldiers rip

[acanadianvoice]

We will have our freedom with or without the soldiers in iraq or afghanistan. Everyone is basing what they hear and believe from the news media. Get real, they're not fighting for 'us' they're fighting in someone else's country because we don't believe what they believe and additionally fighting out of fear for what they "might" do....

[ParanoidKitty]

Very well said. Our soldiers are only there representing our country and keeping our reputation and doing what we do best, peacekeeping and the cleanups. It's just so sad that those countries really don't want the help and are killing our soldiers to show that message.

[jonwhitty]

they're not peacekeeping in Afghanistan. They're "Peacemaking"

[ParanoidKitty]

Too true. I should have worded it better.

[Delningit]

Jonwhitty is right Paranoid. If you ask any Canadian troopie now, we'll tell you we're at war. This started as our usual Peace keeping, cleanup crew kind of thing, but our boys had enough of tryin to be good and not step on any toes, but we've since said screw that, this is an offensive war now. Now the fight is being fought on our terms and our way.

[Burgoyne]

Funny how I got minus one for telling the truth

Ottawa now admits that some Canadian soldiers are in Iraq, even though Canada refused to join the U.S.-led war against Saddam Hussein.

Thirty-one Canadians are with U.S. and British troops in the Gulf as part of a military exchange, and a British army officer told CBC News that some of the Canadians are in combat.

[dan0303]

umm afganistan isn't a peacekeeping mission, it is a military mission, When Canada sighned up for Afganistan it was originally going to be a peacekeeping mission but know it is a full scale military mission. Canada is no longer a peacekeping country, Harper is spending Tons of money on our military know and he has pledged to " rebuild the canadian military "

[AmericanPatriot92GBA]

Well at least in Iraq there trying to fight for the right reasons but Bush is a douch there are some terrorist over there but of course Bush isnt really trying to stop them just wanted to add this last part in.

[brandonbnm]

you americnas dont get the point do u my bro served in afghastan twice he is 24 and every americnas soldiers their and ones tht came from iraq said afghastan is way more dangerous.!!!!!! check ur wording be 4 u say it rock on canadian troops .

[AmericanPatriot92GBA]

Who really gives a fuck? Im American and I dont mind Canadians but when Americans and Canadians argue like this about the troops makes us both look ignorant. No matter what location there in they are both fighting for freedom and Justice so that alone makes both Canadian and American troops deserve respect from both counrtries.

[joshybrown17]

i dont mean that canada is the best country but a very strong country

[joshybrown17]

canada is the best country not just because im canadian because we have a powerful army,powerful government and the will to fight and are troops are very kind!im proud to be canadian and to all the kids and others who say we have no army we have a proud and strong army! so i salute our canadian troops in iraq defending the world from terror and keeping peace!

[z257425]

Canada does not have any troopes in Iraq. Get your facts strait my friend. I agree with the rest of the post. :)

[Burgoyne]

Ottawa now admits that some Canadian soldiers are in Iraq, even though Canada refused to join the U.S.-led war against Saddam Hussein.

Thirty-one Canadians are with U.S. and British troops in the Gulf as part of a military exchange, and a British army officer told CBC News that some of the Canadians are in combat.

[AmericanBattleCry]

Great video! Thanks to Canada for her part!

[aratzel15]

Great Video! Is Cananda helping the Americans in the War in Iraq? I'm just wondering.

[ParanoidKitty]

Canada is most always anyplace there is war. We don't help in the war persay, we cleanup and help with the aid and removal of dangers like bombs and mines.

[Burgoyne]

Our SF was there and we have a platoon or so of soldiers there and I hear we have an officer exchange thing going on there

[atoxzi]

nice vid check out my video "They are Soldiers"

[rodeogirl516]

my dad is in the military and has gone to afghanistan and will be going back soon, i am very proud of him and all of the other troops that risk there lives for others.. god bless

[TimpleTapper]

My thanks and gratude to all who stand in harm's way for our country - My prayers are always with you - thank you for this video - God Bless you!! I know a little something about this, my Father lies in a foreign grave - he too defended freedom - I am well aquainted with the cost of Freedom - and it must be paid - if we are to remain Free, and help others to be free - No one ever told us life would be easy.

This is bunny. Copy and paste this everywhere to help bunny gain world domination.

[Neveor]

lol

[juce9]

gay song.

[aratzel15]

IT'S NOT A GAY SONG!!!

[mirlin235]

summing it up and i think everybody will agrea with me is "God Bless Them"

[DustinMMWilliams]

Good vid. but hey what are we really doing over there? its Bushs war not ours..... I got some good friends over there fight'n and might not see them again thanks to the Yank

[wartimeoperations]

lol we all know that it's bushes war, but canadians have a duty for world peace. It's crucial for them to be in afgahnhistan, or else the americans would destroy everything.

[dan0303]

canada isn't even in the area the americans are in, canadian troops are stationed in kandahar province which has ALOT of taliban troops. How is this bush's ar the UN ( which includes canada ) voted that invading afganistan would be an approriate action. This is a fight for freedom. Life under taliban was terrible esspecially for women, women could be beat publically by taliban for no reason. Letting the Taliban rule Afganistan would be a death sentence for the afgan poeple.

[russianky]

What is the pic about at 1:47 comrade???

[cyberjunky26]

I'm guessing, but I think it means 1,000,000 litres of clean water so far. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[russianky]

That why Canadians are such a great country. They help people in need. I wish Russia was like that at times...lol

[ParanoidKitty]

I kind of wish every country was as giving and helpful as us here in Canada. It would make the world a much nicer place. lol

[ParanoidKitty]

Correct! =)

[ParanoidKitty]

Cyberjunky26 is right, the picture is about the litres of clean water.

[jennapiggy]

hey i am doing a presentation on our troops and i found your video could i use it for my presentation if i could could you tell me how?

[PurestSkyll]

excellent movie!! cheers to the troops!

[ganstamike830]

wuts the song for this? love it yo...

[ParanoidKitty]

Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne

[Spaxz333]

The Boyz in Red in White make me proud!!! I'm just glad there fighting a war that has meaning and reason

[unable2forget]

Great Video. I still haven't decided, but i hope its ok, i may use this in a class presentation, it would go good. "Canada as a Peacekeeper" Thanks, and amazing video.

[ParanoidKitty]

I would love for you to use it in your presentation, if you haven't already as I see this was a week ago you commented. I love getting it out there and sharing it, as long as nobody else is taking credit for making it.

Thanks.

[unable2forget]

I decided not to use it, sorry. But I did let many people see it,  because we had to choose between two videos, and we voted. Great video though.

[frankster016]

Sure looks like we are taking on the invasion started by Bush the 'killing' machine! We are no longer peace keepers, but just a pawn for Bush! Bring our people home on their feet, not in boxes!

[Humanwaste5150]

nice vid, really shows the difference what happens in iraq and afghan

[RCMPs8]

oops didn't think it went through and didn't remember what I wrote My bad

[RCMPs8]

That was GREAT...Well done..Canada's mission is peacekeeping. And has been for a long time..And with so many Bully's in the World Its a job that needs to be done... we do it well

[Eternalrest32]

It's disturbing, how some of Americans no matter even if they see our army, say we have no army, especially kids,I remember when I was in probally around grade 5, alot of the Americans in my class said the best weapon of the Canadian army was probally a knife and pepper spray, so I showed the idiots a picture of an M-16, AK-47, B.A.R, tanks, and our Canadian favorite, Grenades! That shut em up, but I know the Americans know we've got an army. And the song went really well with the video.

[ParanoidKitty]

Thats some people for you, they are so uneducated. Besides, the Canadians armed forces MAIN mission is peacekeeping. Who needs a gun anyways when you're a pissed off Canadian with someone shooting at you, we have enough attitude to kick thier ass, LOL!

[Eternalrest32]

Lol, exactly.

[RCMPs8]

Well done on the Tribute To Our Canadian Soldiers it was GREAT..Canada has played the role of peacekeeping for a very long time..And with so many Bully's in the World we need them..GOOD JOB

[ParanoidKitty]

Too true. Im glad you liked the video. Thanks for the comment. =)

[DrDreamtime]

God bless our troops! Soldier's risk their lives with the best intentions to help make this world a better place for all of us, so be God like and let them know how much you appreciate their courage and their sacrifices, because rather than rank with those poor spirits that neither suffer much nor enjoy much, they dare mighty things in the face of grave danger attempting to win glorious triumph for our country, and for all of man kind. Our sincere thanks to all of you! Reveen the Impossiblist.

[ParanoidKitty]

*nods* If it wasn't for them, our world wouldn't be what it is.

[ParanoidKitty]

Thanks guys! Good to know others thought the song went well with it, I was a bit worried.

[heresastraw]

Very nice. I especially like the WW2 picture. Great job.

[ChiiChii2000]

You did a really good job! The song totally fits.

[heresastraw]

Great Job!

[Brokedown]

they really do deserve more respect :) love this song

[LMartella]

I love it. Absolutely!

[ParanoidKitty]

Aww im glad you love it hun, thank you so much.

[thaggis72112]

Great video, my cousin Darren is over there, I grew up with him, he turned me on to the Clash and punk music in general. He was severely injured when his humvee was capsized and basically broke his neck but was still was able to perform C.P.R. on one of his fellow soldiers. I was so proud and scared at the same time.  I came home that day to numerous messages from reporters on my machine, it was totally sureal.

[ParanoidKitty]

I think I heard about that on the news actually!

Im glad you like the video, it made me tear up everytime I watched it while editing.

[ParanoidKitty]

Thanks so much! I worked 4 hours on it, lol. I guess its Avrils new song, it felt perfect for this video.

[els666]

nice vid hun great song havent heard that one before

elsxxx
