i locked my door. we forgot a few times, nothing happened. I left my car unlocked many times, nothing happened. I did got break in twice in down town Toronto. They took my silly mp3 player, an old GPS. Yup, broke the smallest window that costs only $70 to replace. Professional, i would say. They event leave all my ownership and insurance (yes, small change) untouched.
it is okay, i went downtown almost 2, 3 times a week til late at night. That i would not do in the states.
da fuck. is that actually how it's like in Toronto? xD in the west, we lock our doors only when we aren't home or asleep. but if we are home, then there is no point. but like, wow.
Ur a fkn retard the people from Europe and Spain came to america and they straight up slaughtered 90 million of the 100 million estimated population of the first nations if you don't know what your talkin about then fkn say shit
Guns are more of a traditional tool for hunting i bet in canada rather than just some thing you use to kill some guy you have a grudge with in the states.
@metalweenis Did you watch this video we are commenting on? That kind of fear is unnecessary and that is one of the issues Americans have in their country. No one trusts anyone over there and that is not a good thing for a society. If you feel the need to lock your doors 24/7 then fine, but don't act like people who don't are stupid, because we could say the same thing about you.
@metalweenis Do you live in the "Canadian ghetto"? You must because I have never met a Canadian that locks their doors WHILE they are INSIDE the house (unless it is during the night, then it is more understandable. My house has never in 18 years (as long as I have been alive) been broken into even though we often have the door unlocked when we are out. We live in a safe area but still, most Canadians aren't terrified of intruders or trespassers.
@B2STKW No I do not live an the 'Canadian ghetto', but most people I know still lock their doors. Why would you NOT lock your doors? It makes no sense. My doors are locked 24/7. You can't trust anyone, not people in Canada, not people anywhere. People are people and they will do random things you don't expect.
@B2STKW they lock their cars/trucks when they are filling them up at the pump.... ive seen it. spent 6 months in alabama... fuck that place. with a timbit.
If you want a ghetto, go to Jane and Finch in Toronto. My parents used to threaten me by saying, l "We'll take you to Jane and Finch and strap a $20 bill to your head."
@Mitakashiku I was a 20-year-old white female living with only a roomate at Jane and Finch and I felt 90% safe. If that's as dangerous as it gets here, I'm proud to be Canadian^^
i lock my door.. but i live is saskatoon... so... yeah... alot of murders here. :\ its no different, people during the day are alot nicer. you can have a conversation with a stranger and not worry about a thing.. but still. at night. jeeze. gotta be careful
The difference is the attitudes and extent of force used against the citizens by police. Now no one trusts the cops, and you never want to get too close to your neighbors because everyone's a snitch. When the police no longer serve the public's interest then it's every man for himself, and his home is his castle.
The only reason I lock my doors in Canada is because last time I left it open, someone mistook my house with their own. LOL that's it.... I feel absolutely safe here!!!
@theageofminecraft1 had you watched the whole documentary you would have known he said there are a lot of guns in Canada, it's just that we use them in a more pacifist way
@lubi125 Ha ha funny i did and i learned!.... oh wait nothing everybody knows america are rednecks andunsophistacated little fools. Also i know but it is a very big waste of time to cut up canada and make us look like idiots on a movie when he was clearly trying to solve the us gun problem but he completly forgot about that and went to make it look like canadians are retortful people who have no knowledge yet we do. More then americans i daresay. wow proves how irrogant americans are.
@theageofminecraft1 I once went to Savanah, Georgia. Oh man that really was a shit-hole, some people didn't even have houses, they lived in camping trucks (or w/e they are called) RVs? Imagine that with a grey and dark atmosphere of a swamp, it's horrible! How do human beings dare to live there?!

@einrib4truth HAHAHA wow you are so uneducated, uncultured you clearly have zero education.....and obviously your NOT A CANADIAN HAHA bet your american you loser
@constantinmathieu actually pretty much nobody in Canada locks there door; there was a string of robberies in my town and yet still not one of my friend (me included) locked there doors when they left the house. now that i think about it i feel really dumb for doing that but what's done is done, right?
Makes me ashamed to be American. No worries, though. I'll rectify that mump up by moving to Canada. It's true. Americans only want to fight and solve everything with violence. As an "American", I was never like that and just couldn't understand why my "fellow" Americans were in which everything had to be about conflict? Is it because of all our violent movies and video games or what? I just don't get it.
@BostonCreamDonut They used to sell them across the country, Walmart did. But they stopped because some boy got shot (but not killed) by ammunition purchased from a walmart. So for the sake of their reputation they no longer sell it.
I'm actually Canadian and I only lived in Canada for the first seven years of my life between Toronto and Windsor. But I don't really feel like making a big deal out it like the rest of you.
I'm Canadian, but I'm also logical. Don't be affirmed by this ridiculous Liberal bias. I'd rather have more rights, responsibility, independence and freedom than live in the spook of what some wild person may do with a gun. Fellow Canadians ought to research the terrible blow back that came of our socialized attitude with the police brutality at G20 and the many deaths that happen in our hospital's waiting rooms.
@therealbradshaw Ppl die in US hospitals all the time because they don't have insurance, or 'cause they're simply black. The King hospital in LA had to be closed because of ongoing pattern of discriminatory shit.
@faheykj Jane and Finch isn`t even that dangerous, its made out to be, obviously if you try and cause a fight you`ll be up shits creek without a paddle but mind your own business and you`ll be fine. Jane and Finch isn`t exactly known as a place where innocent people walking home get shot down.
Soooo in America and Canada you can just buy a gun from your local supermarket??! In the UK they make you show ID to buy scissors! I wouldn't even know where to start trying to find a gun in this country!
@ItsDefinitelyCaela not a chance, that person who sold the rifle ammo was a complete dumbass. Where i live you need about three licenses to buy anything like that!!
@Hirotoro4692 As long as im home, and not asleep my door is always unlocked :P When i sleep though it is locked haha. Also, now that i love in a dorm i dont even lock it when i leave haha
As an American-Canadian, or Canadian-American, or whatever, I firmly believe that a large factor in the difference between violence in both countries is the population density of the US as opposed to the population density of Canada. People often forget that California alone has a larger population than the entire country of Canada.
@TheGreaterGood80 yeah, but most of said population in CA is condensed around the big cities such as L.A. How about if you were to compare an American town with a population density as equal as possible to the average canadian town?
@TheGreaterGood80 < Very good point; large population density make people sort less sensitive to others, IMO.
Also USA is more commercialized - too many ads, lack of indoor anti-smoking laws, pace of life faster in big cities(contrived to stress people), prison and healthcare is a industry and part of their GDP ! USA's citizens do not trust their governments and have lots of reasons not to.
@blazerx900 Toronto is one of the biggest shit holes in the country.
and, I hardly think having immigrants that can't speak english on every street corner qualifies for multi culturalism, they aren't playing music and making food, they are committing crimes.
@blazerx900 however good/innocent their intentions, the vast majority that come here end up in prison.
we are not receiving english speaking engineers from Hong Kong.
we are receiving refugees that are illiterate in their native languages from places like Somalia and Sri Lanka, that are a burden on the economy and the country.
@WinkyMaeve you have something against immigrants white trash? You assuming that majority of immigrants that comes to canada are criminals and are a burden to the economy? Well first of all EVERYONE but the natives are immigrants in this country and that includes you and everybody else a burden to this country. We didnt came to Canada murdering natives and assuming Canada belongs to the white crew.
@Posidengodoftesea same way that he found some of the most embarassing and slightly stupid americans for his interviews. not every american is the brother of the oklahoma city bomber. (i'm from toronto, btw)
I live in Ontario, & we only lock our doors at night. Many of my friends & family are the same way. The "open door" policy, I guess. I go to school in Michigan, & it's completely different there. Everyone locks their doors, has alarm systems, etc.They have multiple news channels that are constantly pumping out propaganda about the country, & keeping the fear level up. My stress level drops as soon as I cross the border back into ON. I love MI, but there's no place like home!
Peaceful Canadian society is quite the luxury I must say. I see people commenting on here about locking doors, Americans being born into war, addicted to violence and some of that is very true. But I also see the Canadians who refuse to admit that we're their shield from the real world. It must be nice to spend all of your time and money on making your country a comfier pillow-fort...
I don't know what the fuck kind of bullshit the guy at 6:30 is talking about. Canadians don't all have a phobia of locks and feel like were imprisoning ourselves. Lol this movie is so biased and fake to what it's really like up hear its scary. I'm going to take a wild guess that we have less murders, because we have 34 million people....the state of california has more than that.
i think the key difference between america and canada (and most of the world) is that guns are a responsibility not a right. in the uk gun crime is rare but does happen and makes national news when it does, the raoul moat incident made europe wide news because it happens so infrequently
"USA: Race/Ethnicity (2010): Black/African American 12.6%". I doubt Canada got that high numbers, and not the gangbanger-popularity (promoted more by vile greedy gangsta-rap mediabosses) as in USA...
There also must be a difference recognised between handguns and hunting guns, too - just because we own so many guns in Canada, doesn't mean we own guns which are designed for non-hunting use. Most people I know have guns, even several guns, but for hunting.
I don't lock my doors. Rural life! Whee! And as someone studying Criminology, it is rather theorised that guns can be linked to higher murder rates because guns are fairly impersonal, whereas things like knives require up-close contact - looking someone in the eyes, as it were, which makes it more difficult to kill someone.
How can you sum up the massive land masses of the United States and Canada with such sweeping generalizations? "Americans are X and Canadians are Y" can't be said about two very diverse peoples. For the record, the violent crime rate (i.e. number of violent crimes per 100,000 people) in Canada (between 600-1,100 since 1980) has been consistently higher than the U.S.'s (between 450-750 since 1980).
i lock my doors. i've never had anyone break in and i live in the suburbs. she had somebody break in, vandalize and steal? and she didn't lock her house subsequently? moron.

i lock my doors. i've never had anyone break in and i live in the suburbs. she had somebody break in, vandalize and steal? and she didn't lock her house subsequently? dumbass.
I live in Toronto, and occasionally don`t lock the doors, even though I live in the ghetto. It`s relatively safe. I think Mike paints an accurate picture.
Yeah ok i dont lock my doors, i leave the keys in my truck.. I live in the country.. Clearly Michael chose people who fit his criteria. This was for entertainment purposes, so lets leave it there.
When I sleep and when I go out I lock the doors "most" of the time but never when I'm home and awake. The truck has never been locked in the yard. I do own guns but would never think of pointing them at a person. They are locked up and would take some time to get out and load. I'm just not that affraid of being in Canada. Great country
I only lock my doors because there's a halfway house three houses over in my culdesac for mentally challenged people. They're always out riding bikes in circles without helmets and I just don't trust the look of them.
I'm Canadian... born and raised, and I lock my doors (even when I'm home). Just because I live in Canada doesn't mean that we are invincible and no one can hurt us. Humans are still humans at the end of the day, plus who knows? Maybe your neighbours are American hahaha just kidding. But honestly, it's just safe practice (or old habits in my case).
some things are right, and some not so right in the video. I think its true about the gun issue though, seems like if guns make a safer country, then the states isn't very safe by comparison. but then again, we're not without our own problems, so take the best out of everything, and improve on those, things'll get better =D
soo true about the NEWs. in canada the news makes me bored or change the channel and in the us channels i am glued to the tv like watching an action movie
@sweetdreeem I know what you mean, I went to Philadelphia few years ago for a school trip for University. Our first morning, we turned on the news and the top stories were about 4 murders and the funeral for a 5 year old that was killed 2 days prior. Safe to say me and my friends were somewhat shocked, considering the places were all those murders occurred we had to go there the next day.
Whe I went on a trip to the states we were passing the border and the American officer ask us plenty of questions like where and how long are we going and other questions and he check the car they also check our passeports for a long time. It took around 5-6 minutes. When I went back home the Canadian officer ask us if we bought tabacco or alchool. He also ask from which province we were from and check our passeports. It took not even 1 minute. It shows how americans are more scared than us.
@maiwe100 Really? When I went to Niagara Falls they search my car and asked us a bunch of questions. It took almost 15 minutes. They also confiscated my mace. When we went back to the USA it took less than a minute. I think you went right through because your Canadian.
@maiwe100 i think in general your home country will treat you better in customs since they don't really have much of a choice. i mean, what else could they do, force you to fend for yourself in Canada?
I live in Canada, I don't own a gun nor do I know anyone who does, and I lock my doors all the time and everyone I know locks their doors, doing otherwise is dumb and you are asking for your shit to be stolen.
@iguardo Yes you most likely do lock your door but I think he his trying to show that when you enter your home, do you lock your door after you enter as American's do (lock yourself in your home) . Obviously when you leave your house you most likely do lock your doors and I agree with you that it would be stupid not to do so. But when your in your house why would you lock your door ?
@iguardo many people don't lock their doors. i'd know as i used to do door to door sales. it seems that immigrants are the ones more likely to lock their doors than people born in canada. of course it all depends on what kind of neighbourhood you live in
I enjoyed this video alot and agree with of things that was said, But a couple things were a bit wrong... He made it sound like theres never any crime or murders in Canada.. Im from the east coast in a small town of only 20 thousand people, and theres a fair amount of crime and murders here. The nearest city to me is Halifax NS and it has a very high rate of crime. He also tryed to show what a Canadian "ghetto" looked like but let me take you to the real hood and you will see the difference..
So glad I live in Canada.

As an American-Canadian, or Canadian-American, or whatever, I firmly believe that a large factor in the difference between violence in both countries is the population density of the US as opposed to the population density of Canada. People often forget that California alone has a larger population than the entire country of Canada.
TheGreaterGood80 2 weeks ago
@TheGreaterGood80 yeah, but most of said population in CA is condensed around the big cities such as L.A. How about if you were to compare an American town with a population density as equal as possible to the average canadian town?
Hirotoro4692 2 weeks ago
@TheGreaterGood80 < Very good point; large population density make people sort less sensitive to others, IMO.
Also USA is more commercialized - too many ads, lack of indoor anti-smoking laws, pace of life faster in big cities(contrived to stress people), prison and healthcare is a industry and part of their GDP ! USA's citizens do not trust their governments and have lots of reasons not to.

@blazerx900 Toronto is one of the biggest shit holes in the country.
and, I hardly think having immigrants that can't speak english on every street corner qualifies for multi culturalism, they aren't playing music and making food, they are committing crimes.
Toronto is a joke
WinkyMaeve 4 days ago
@WinkyMaeve We're not talking about immigrants, we're talking about the fact that toronto is a multi cultural city.
My main reason supporting that Toronto is a multi cultural city is that the city has many immigrants from many different countries around the world.
Immigrants are not tools, they immigrate to Canada for a living. Non-immigrants commit crimes as well; thank you for stating the obvious.
Toronto is city like every other city. It just holds different aspects of community.

I live in Ontario, & we only lock our doors at night. Many of my friends & family are the same way. The "open door" policy, I guess. I go to school in Michigan, & it's completely different there. Everyone locks their doors, has alarm systems, etc.They have multiple news channels that are constantly pumping out propaganda about the country, & keeping the fear level up. My stress level drops as soon as I cross the border back into ON. I love MI, but there's no place like home!

Peaceful Canadian society is quite the luxury I must say. I see people commenting on here about locking doors, Americans being born into war, addicted to violence and some of that is very true. But I also see the Canadians who refuse to admit that we're their shield from the real world. It must be nice to spend all of your time and money on making your country a comfier pillow-fort...

I'm going to take a wild guess that we have less murders, because we have 34 million people....the state of california has more than that.

i think the key difference between america and canada (and most of the world) is that guns are a responsibility not a right. in the uk gun crime is rare but does happen and makes national news when it does, the raoul moat incident made europe wide news because it happens so infrequently

There also must be a difference recognised between handguns and hunting guns, too - just because we own so many guns in Canada, doesn't mean we own guns which are designed for non-hunting use. Most people I know have guns, even several guns, but for hunting.
CCNuck 3 weeks ago 3
I don't lock my doors. Rural life! Whee! And as someone studying Criminology, it is rather theorised that guns can be linked to higher murder rates because guns are fairly impersonal, whereas things like knives require up-close contact - looking someone in the eyes, as it were, which makes it more difficult to kill someone.
CCNuck 3 weeks ago
How can you sum up the massive land masses of the United States and Canada with such sweeping generalizations? "Americans are X and Canadians are Y" can't be said about two very diverse peoples. For the record, the violent crime rate (i.e. number of violent crimes per 100,000 people) in Canada (between 600-1,100 since 1980) has been consistently higher than the U.S.'s (between 450-750 since 1980).

Whe I went on a trip to the states we were passing the border and the American officer ask us plenty of questions like where and how long are we going and other questions and he check the car they also check our passeports for a long time. It took around 5-6 minutes. When I went back home the Canadian officer ask us if we bought tabacco or alchool. He also ask from which province we were from and check our passeports. It took not even 1 minute. It shows how americans are more scared than us.

I enjoyed this video alot and agree with of things that was said, But a couple things were a bit wrong... He made it sound like theres never any crime or murders in Canada.. Im from the east coast in a small town of only 20 thousand people, and theres a fair amount of crime and murders here. The nearest city to me is Halifax NS and it has a very high rate of crime. He also tryed to show what a Canadian "ghetto" looked like but let me take you to the real hood and you will see the difference..
