Became a citizen and the first thing you did was complain about the housing market and a $2000 New West apartment. I'm so very proud of you, congrats on Citizenship!
The Halifax Explosion was in 1917/1918 It was a munitions ship that collided with another ship It was pretty bonkers Biggest non nuclear man made explosion until the Trinity Test
Yes the Halifax Explosion was because the French Cargo Ship SS Mont-Blanc collided with another ship and caught fire and was unfortunately laden with high explosives.
Canadian Historian here! Your deets are all correct about the Halifax Explosion. 1917 a collision between two ships, one carrying high explosives. As of posting, the largest recorded (non-nuclear) man-made explosion in terms of yield. Almost 1700 deaths and over 9000 injured.
I thought the death count was somewhere north of 2000, including a heroic railway operator who sacrificed his life to warn all incoming trains which saved untold lives, as well as the lives lost due to the tsunami the explosion caused?
December 1917 the Monte blonce was full of TNT with barrels of benzoyl covering the deck. Another ship called the Imos has mechanical failure and struck Monte bloncs side igniting the benzoyl. When the munitions exploded the explosion wipe Halifax off the map and it caused a tsunami that destroyed th surrounding towns and killed thousands
Canadian Italy, one of the great cultural flowerings of the 20th century. With such innovations as poutine pasta, maple syrup pizza, and the rapper Snow headlining The Barber of Seville.
Super proud of you Alex, I have been watching you for the full 6 years of your channel, all the way back to the total war days. Enjoyed your journey and very happy for you and all the success you have achieved, well deserved ❤.
It would require about approx 250 MOAB blasts to equal the Halifax explosion (2.9 kt). There are 5 criteria for the many of the large explosions and overall Halifax wins
Well done! In one of your previous videos, you tried out the 1919 scenario in a mod called The Great War. You could do another video like that with Soviet Russia or Soviet Hungary. I would be very happy!
“Junge” means “boy” in German 😄 Also big congrats to becoming a resident of Canada, I can still see you a couple years back pleading in a video something like “Please Canada, let me be in you” 😁
Hey Sir Alex The Rambler! I would like to congratulate you on your permanent residency in Canada, I am a college student living in Ontario and working a minimum wage job, No matter how much I save up I am unable to purchase even a 1 bedroom apartment because the city I live in (Which is NOT Toronto) a basic 1 bedroom apartment ranges from $2,500 - $3,500 a month. Wish you the best!
Congrats on residency. As someone about to get my residency in germany, junger literally means younger but its used like alter (older) by mostly younger guys to talk to their friends and also an exclamation
It's actually Junge (Boy) but in the context it means more like dude. It's kind of confusing with Junge and jünger and Alter (Old guy if talking to a person but also age) and alter (old)
@@OnlyGraftingo spaces sounds more like new-fun/fundland and a less pronounced Found. A lot of people say new found land which is fine it’s not too much different
If you really wanna be historical, you should have naval invaded Dieppe before Normandy, as the Canadians historically did [it did not go well historically, to say the least].
I feel like they killed Germany in the game. I havent been playing since they brought out the Turkey DLC, so all these new features like trains, supply hubs and even some gear are unkown to me. But Germany is absolutly getting crushed, every game. Like its not even a tie. They maybe push a bit into Ukraine hten hold, lose the same manpower as the soviets, sometimes even double and then just get wipped out. Italy is also doing way worse than I remeber it. The Axis needs a fix.
*OH CANADA*
Welcome to Canada gang!
Yeah Canada gang

Is Alex British?
The Halifax Explosion was in 1917/1918
It was a munitions ship that collided with another ship
It was pretty bonkers
Biggest non nuclear man made explosion until the Trinity Test
The Trinity Test wasn't non-nuclear.
I think it remained the biggest non nuclear man made explosion after the Trinity test aswell
The trinity test was nuclear no?
@@ZemanTheMighty it was
Biggest non nuclear explosion till the soviet N1 rocket crash
Yes the Halifax Explosion was because the French Cargo Ship SS Mont-Blanc collided with another ship and caught fire and was unfortunately laden with high explosives.
There's a great song about it by the Longest Johns called Fire & Flame.
It was also one of the biggest man made explosions prior to the atomic bomb in 1945
bloody french

I caused Halifax

Damn that’s a lot of people 😢

I also have 60% hardness watching Alex play as Canada

IRL Canada gets a ton of love and respect for how much they did to help liberate the Netherlands during WW2 so 25:57 is actually quite accurate.
Super proud of you Alex, I have been watching you for the full 6 years of your channel, all the way back to the total war days. Enjoyed your journey and very happy for you and all the success you have achieved, well deserved ❤.
Love Your Channel Alex. ❤ Keep up the Amazing Work.
3:51 it was 1917, munitions ship exploded. Biggest explosion in history until the trinity test

I learned much more about Canada than I cared for. Thank you, Sir.
Good job escaping the UK while you could
Hi Alex, you should try the “fire & maneuver” game. It is in a pre-release and that pre release is free up until the 17th of april.
I love the armchair historian
i left for a year, and i come back glad to see this guy doing fine
Well done! In one of your previous videos, you tried out the 1919 scenario in a mod called The Great War. You could do another video like that with Soviet Russia or Soviet Hungary. I would be very happy!
Others: "You captured Nazi Germany?" Alex playing Canada: "What? Like it's hard?"
Congrats on the permanent residency. It took me 7 years to get my citizenship in Australia. Now to move back and get my wife Canadian citizenship.
So, are you going to subject the Italians to their most hated Canadian invention, the Hawaiian pizza?
Thanks for the love, Alex.
Lol you had such a good time here! It was fun to watch. 🙂
“Junge” means “boy” in German 😄
Also big congrats to becoming a resident of Canada, I can still see you a couple years back pleading in a video something like “Please Canada, let me be in you” 😁
Das Jungs
@@JesusFriedChrist it’s actually “die Jungs” (pronounced “dee” not the word for one’s demise 😄)
The usage of the word is 90% of the time in a comparable situation "Dude" though, rather than just "Boy".
Genuine congrats on Canadianising 🥳
Congrats on the PR from Vancouver! (I don't know where you are lol)
Thank you!! 😁I'm also in that area!
Lol I've watched you for almost a decade without knowing that. I knew you were in Canada but I always picture Toronto or Montreal!
I started watching you as Alex Ramblings in the Mordor campaign Third Age 3.2!
Everyone else: Canada is too hard to play as.
Meanwhile alex; ahem, observe.
Congratulations on becoming a Canadian Permanent Resident.
CONGRATS ON THE PASSPORT!! Know fhat since ive started watching you youve been trying to get it, rly happy for you :)
Being Canadian, I unreasonably enjoyed this!
There is no other way to get a canadian to click on a video faster, than Canada being mentioned in a video.
The Halifax Explosion was 1917 and it was two ships colliding and one had munitions on it
Horray. He's a Canada people now.
"Come on Junge" just means "come on boy"
Congrats and welcome to our country! (dont forget we burnt down the white house twice!)
We're glad to have you as an official resident! 🎉 Welcome!
That 1812 joke hit hard Alex 😢 I’m sad now.
Congrats On becoming Canadian! 🎉

Now we finally know who was in Paris

its the same as saying "jonge" and "ouwe" in dutch
I live in halifax not much to see, big crater with some buildings in it like a fallout settlement
„Komm schon, Junge!“ (actually nicely pronounced) means „Come on, boy!“
from halifax, can confirm, big boat, BIG BOOM
German here: What Tommy is saing "Komm schon junge" means "Come on boy"
Canada has been achieved.
Am I going insane, or has the video icon changed like 4 times since this was released?
Congrats on the new citizenship, from a Canadian myself!

,junge' means boy in german
i think tommy means dude when he says it
"Dude" is the general Usage-Meaning of "Junge" for especially the younger population in Germany, but also the (Stereotype) Gamers, etc.
I know at one point Canada was the air controller of the allies.
I appreciate Alex's first attempt at some Canadian chauvinism towards the US. Congratulations!

Well Done.
I haven't played in a while. Maybe I will take Canada out for a spin.
Great episode!
You are a permanent resident yet you still cannot pronounce Newfoundland correctly…😂
Nah it's literally new found land
@@OnlyGraftingo spaces sounds more like new-fun/fundland and a less pronounced Found. A lot of people say new found land which is fine it’s not too much different
@@OnlyGraftingI mean you can pronounce it just new found land but I think most people in Canada say it like one word.
If you really wanna be historical, you should have naval invaded Dieppe before Normandy, as the Canadians historically did [it did not go well historically, to say the least].
We need more videos!
They're coming! My shoulder is a bit messed up atm so doing what I can!
I feel like you deserved that Italy puppet even if you did not ask for it.
The krauts shouldn't have tested the Geese.
Welcome to Canada Eh! From a fellow Canadian!
Sorry for the Late comment but I’m glad you’re here in Canada, I hope everything has been well enough eh!
I never comment, but I gotta say thank you for giving a shout out to the Okanagan. Congrats on staying in Canada eh.
Hey! What you said earlier „Komm Junge“ In Englisch means „come boy“.
