- The Royal Canadian Regiment , National Defence and the Canadian Forces march onto the parade square at Queen's Park in Toronto on April 27, 2013. 3rd Battalion receives New Colours with Prince Philip
The struggle to stay in step is very apparent when two bands are playing in close proximity. The memories.
“Oh crap, quickly need to get in step hope it’s not noticeable”
As a former bagpiper myself, the cadence pipebands typically use is a slower pace and more difficult for regular soldiers to march to, they are often train/march at a faster pace. So they are actually doing well here.
@@pacificprospector This is quite true! The difference between 116-120 and 90-100 bpm makes all the difference. I was in the Air Cadets until recently, and it was near impossible to keep anyone who isn't used to pipe marches in step, let alone the 3/4s.
But yes, they are doing quite well, and their best when it's more cluttered.
Always has been a problem. No fault of the troops.
Love how the Canadian's have kept the amazing British army drill and marches.
Hi from England.
yeap! we haven't forgotten to Pay The Queen Her Taxes too :D
Soviet Trollzz Wonder how America would have been if thats still happening.
Hi from Canada :)
hey dude its your son :)
not like the USA
god bless all our Canadian soldiers
their not "Our" they are the Queens
Soviet Trollzz Nope they are Citizens were are not subjects since the Magna Carta
+Soviet “mr” Trollzz inaccurate. First of all, yes they are her majesties soldiers - however, as pointed out, since Magna Carta 800 years ago the crown draws it's sovereignty and legitimacy from the people themselves. This guarantees the rights, and liberties of all subjects of Britain (and by extension her former colonies).
Secondly, the crown and the government are two entirely separate institutions and as states the military owes it's allegiance to the crown (which is bound to the people) therefor making it impossible for the Government to oppress, subjugate or otherwise employ force on it's citizens as a means of coercion.
Also, under article 61 of the Magna Carta: should any party i.e parliament or the crown infringe on the rights of the people their legitimacy is void and we move to what is called 'lawful rebellion' where the barons (and the people) wage war on the party in question until redress is delivered. What you claim equates to tyranny is actually what prevents it.
god bless my grandfathers country, sent with love from southend on sea essex england, god save canada and our queen x
John Green I salute you good sir I have much respect for you lads, rule Britannia
God Save the Queen, God Bless you Canada and the Commonwealth.
thank you!
fuck the queen
God save all children and not a 100 year old granny
I served with the Toronto Scottish Regiment ,Fort York Armory Toronto Ontario Canada 1973 to the middle of 1974. Thank you .
Nice to see that although Canada has changed her flag she is still proud to be who she is.
Traditional regimental colours, decent drill (better than the Americans by a long shot).
I wish we could be together again. How great would we be if the UK (and her territories), Canada, Australia and New Zealand united again - even if only militarily.
Also, love from the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Wales and Northern Ireland.
We wish. Unfortunately, maintaining an empire is impossibly expensive no matter how much we want.
On the bright side, we're all in the NATO club :D
Sounds good, no Americans though. Maybe let the Irish back save them from the EU.
I'm French Canadian and even I am kinda proud to have been part of the mighty British Empire haha.
Hell of a lot better than the American wannabe Harper.
Great parade from the Royal Canadian regiment and thanks for showing it to us.
Remember - the majority of these units are reservists.... The Highland regiments march far better and stay in step than the others, even though the highland drill step is slightly slower traditionally, and posses far more esprit de corps!!
Called the Scots guard swagger
As a Canadian, I've literally never seen a military parade that had anything other than bagpipes, snares and bass drums playing. Genuinely feels wrong. Something about the bagpipes just feels so much stronger than anything else they could use.. brass, woodwind, anything.
God bless a peaceful country and all our alies for the respectful comments as well as keeping our heritage strong and all cultures that make this country great as well as the world.
Adam HELLLZZZYAAA1982 “our culture is multiculturalism” lolol
A lot of these units are reservists. So cool it with the negativity.
..well then. We shall reserve our judgement.
What a great parade,, many brave men left for the wars,, from your country and still do from Belfast,, Northern Ireland,,, least we forget,,, ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️God save the Queen
Thank you for posting this awesome film!
Live the Canadians. Total respect...
I've Always Adored Canadians
Hi from Mongolia
+SWAT71917 hai :)
SWAT71917 thank you I am proud of the of my country's military it comes out as boring as a strong military I mean I'm not as strong as you guys of course nothing stronger than you but we fight together we fight forever
Mongolia? Jesus, i would love to visit Mongolia one day.
Thank you.
Thank you. I would love to go to Mongolia.
The RCR is one of three regiments of the Canadian Army that maintains regular battalions. This seems to be a parade from the Ontario Legislature down University Avenue in Toronto by all the Toronto Reserve regiments.
wrong
Cannot think of one reason to disparage can. Army, english,or quebecois. Magnificent soldiers.. yall should be very proud of your military history.
Some people can't stay in step...
And it annoys me greatly
In fairness, I served in a Toronto Regt in the late 60s and the echoes of the bands among the buildings along those streets made it very difficult to keep in step. It sounded like a tape delay. Usually an NCO in the ranks would call out the step to us discreetly. Also, the reservists didn't get much rehearsal for this, unlike 3RCR.
Here's a better example of Canadian regulars marching (versus reservists) th-cam.com/video/z0zLLXLgfRU/w-d-xo.html
@@DragoonEnNoir So I watched that...and the goat was out of step.
This video is not the RCR but a bag of hammers militia units. They look like shit.
Canada has all the cool uniforms.
Said no one ever
@@MickFras HEY
well . . . yea
BUT STILL
Yes...yes we do ! Sorry
Uh, nope. I was there, in 1 RCR in 1983 during the Regimental Centennial In London, ON when those scarlets were issued. Now, since I was in Charles Coy, 8 Pl, AKA The Corps of Drums, we had been wearing scarlets since forever and had them fitted so we looked sharp. The rest of the battalion however just got issued the closest size that fit and they looked like a bag of hammers. And those silly plastic Wolseley helmets did not look much better. I see that the Regiment still won't spring for a proper tailor or two. The CF uniform at that time did look sharp, what with the trousers bloused into the SSF jump boots and the SSF shoulder badge.
Don't even get me started on dragging the left foot on the halt. If the RSM had seen that in my day... Man! Extra duties for everybody!
Canadians are getting new grey urban uniforms soon
Hard to figure out which units we're seeing here. They're not all RCR, for sure.
True, I identified the 7th Toronto Regiment, RCA (easy when they're helpfully towing an artillery piece in the parade), the Lorne Scots, the Toronto Scottish, the 48th Highlanders, and the Queen's Own Rifles at various points in the footage. I assume it was the 4th Battalion of the RCR getting new colours, but aside from them the majority of the participants seem to have been Toronto-area units.
Style never gets old or out of service
Excellent vid. Thanks.
Marvellous. Would it be unfair of me to suggest that Donald Trump couldn't lay on a parade like that? Honour and Tradition, that's what the Canadian Armed Forces have. Bravo Zulu. (You have to be a naval man to decode that). OK, it means well done. From Brit RN.
Yeah we said "Fuck you" to the British tradition a long time ago to be fair.
i served in this Regiment in Toronto. I noticed some of the guys are out of step. Back in the day that would have never happened...things change.
When was that. The RCR never had a battalion in toronto in the name of the RCR unless you are talking about their past names of the infantry school corps back in 1883
Could you be thinking of the royal regement of canada that is a reserve regement in toronto.
Or are you talking about being posted there.
What happened to the highland regiments? Why can't they march?
i served with 2nd Battalion Canadian Guards, 3rd Battalion RCR and 2nd Airborne Commando. A couple of those Highland Regiments need some extra drill. Other than that good show lads
+Conrad Huhn I served in the 4th Bn. RCR in 1983 for the trooping and reunion for Prince Philip in London Ontario in July 1983
I served Italian Air Forces, third battallion mtx 96, Taranto. Never knew why.
and that... bitchez is how we buy our maple syrup and our hockey sticks in canada :)
Toronto Garrison . Thank you .
I see this and I think of WW1 where such men so amazing had to march directly into fire, the stuff your hear about the Black Guard etc. ----- so sad, : RIP them all
During World War 1 they didn't March into battle.
@@supremecmder6107 They might not have marched, but they kicked ass just the same.
LEST WE FORGET
Trudeau dont like you vets you ask fore to mutch….love you Alberta.. thanks fore my freedom i am a Suede...never forgett Juno ….
We won't see Canada's strength again until there is another threat to our way of life. The British didn't have to convince us to fight the Nazis. in a Country of 11 million we had nearly 1 million volunteers in the second WW.
Ill be killed before I let their sacrifice be in vain
You forgot to add Australia,. We declared war on Germany before you did
th-cam.com/video/FZedhB6Olvk/w-d-xo.html
All Australians were volunteers as well. Not many people know but Australia did not get a standing army until 1947. From 1901-1947 the country was defended by the Militia. Most of our Generals in WW1 and WW2 were Militia.
General Leslie Morshead was he first allied General to defeat the German Army in WW2. He was the manager of a shipping company in Sydney in 1939- Orient Lines. But he was in the Militia. He only became full time Australian Army when WW2 broke out

Long live the Empire 🇬🇧🇧🇲❤️🇫🇮
Help me out here a bit, my knowledge of Ontario regiments is a little slim. Who are the Highland regiments, there seem to be. at least 3 of them, I think? I think the "Tron-Scots" with their plain kilts I recognize, but the others I don't. It is also interesting to see the "old" CF Greens.....I'm guessing they now have the re-introduced "pips" and "red-tags" (Colonel/General collars) again.
Tor Scots, 48th Highlanders and the other one is the lorne scots
@@liamcahill8801 Thanks! I'd been a piper x 16 years and we wore plaids. Interesting to see the Toronto Scottish "ranks" wearing some sort of plaid. My old pipeband has since given up wearing the "full dress" with feather bonnets.
@@pacificprospector Ya each unit has a unique kilt to go with their full dress or DEUs. glad to help
oh look at those SLR's miss mine.best weapon for marching
every other contry: WE FLEX OUR WEAPONS AND OUR TROOPS!!
Canada: we like things short sweet and simple :)
only in the east, places like russia do you see that kind of parade where they bring out their tanks and rocket launchers
which regiment is that at 2;50?
32 Signal Regiment.
Very smart well done
To the army I was in. ..We shall not abandon our Kurdish allies in the war. Turkey defies the rights of an Indigenous people! And Canada defends the oppressed of the world! We will defend the Kurd's!! Watch video>>"FELEKNAZ (Zeyno).avi"
other than the RCR's the rest of the regiments are a reserves. All good regiments.
+Jimbo Jones I remember the Canucks from the 40s Great fighters but these lads need an Sergent Major who is a Brit
talboters44 British military influence would be nice. I saw a video of Canadian and British forces fighting in a combat training area and the British were much better with strategy but head on the canucks did good. As Winston Churchill said. US Arms and Tech, Canadian Soldiers, British Officers, and fuck Russia
Good eyes pig well and 4 RCR reserve is in there too and they are all good Regiments and all from Ontario. I picked out 5 bear walkers in them and numerous others in the reserve ranks, usually caused by one too many bands and bass drums echoing off buildings, that will throw some troops out of step.
Galing naman siSTAR Emily may kanya kanya silang banda in every lineup 👏
Watching here from #Simpleng_Pinoy_Canadian Team SPC 💖
Great job Canada! I suppose y'all wanted to stay loyal to the crown in this area. Cheers from your neighbor, USA! 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
What?! What's that comment. Of course we are loyal to the crown.
@@dougraddi908 Why?
@@shyryTsr2k forgive me, I was wrong when I said we are loyal to the crown when there are so few of us who are. Why I am loyal? England rescued us from those wretched people the French. England to me is our Mother country.
@@dougraddi908 Oh no worries at all neighbor (USA and Canada ARE neighbors after all), and... Ah that's a good reason to be loyal I suppose. However it was the French that helped the Colonists claim their independence so we the United States owe them so much. They also gave us the statue of liberty which was real generous of them.
@@shyryTsr2k yes they did give you the statue. I don't mean to be hostile to the French but when you've grown up around racism and believing you live in a free and beautiful country where we can live together as one then finding out there are a people who don't share your beliefs and want out then if your not strong enough to deal with that, you form a negative opinion on them as I have. I'm an Inuit from Canada's Arctic and living in the south life is great. I found out not everyone wants Canada to separate and it gives me hope that one day we can live together in peace under one flag. So I stay loyal to the Queen who gave us this country. Without England then I don't know who would we have become.
1:35 what march is that?
Jayden Murphy the one rig before is the Skye boat song
Captin Letus I'm talking about the March on of the flags. My bad.
People can make fun of us all they want, sorry we're not assholes. PROUD CANADIAN!
Justis Kennedy same here
Bagpipe song?
This is late 'Skye Boat Song'
3:24 see if you can spot the guy in line
This is a wonderfull parade.
Canada!
What a great friend is Canada from a Geordie...
Those 31 dislikes are from the Filipino soldiers
Why though ?
I hate people giggling during military parades.
Uh.... this is a traditional parade, not a show of force! Learn to speak properly and with intelligence people! Please...
You really don't know the military don't you?
+ExoticMl123 It is a traditional parade and not a show of force. He's right tbh.
CanEhdianbuddEh!? "Not saying its not "traditional" but "traditional" parades are basically how the Common wealth armies (i.e Those countries whose head of state is the the Queen" display their militarise.
ExoticMl123
That's what I said... It's traditional...
+pspboy7 a show of force generaly consists of large scale, mostly cross branch, commonly international military exercises
My brethren died for England, kind of angry aboot that
Reservist ?
🇨🇦👍🏼👍🏼
Some of these units must be made up of reservists. Their marching is terribly out of Step 😄
Drill.needs discipline!!! Wtf.. air cadets.march better
Well to be fair that's all air cadets do🤣
Pro Patria
God bless the r.ca.f.
Coming soon to a Muslim country (Dearborn, Mi) soon!

+Jenna Hill lmfao fuckin trudeau eh
Take them on once,then tell us about it,asshole.
505
"Canadian culture" they said
whats wrong with those cadets? they dont know howto march or whatlol
c'est l'armée anglaise !!
Vous pensez à l'armée britannique. L'Angleterre n'a pas d'un armée. En tous cas, c'est l'armée canadien.
Toronto is obviously traditional an Anglo region. Quebec is the Keystone to Canada, as an Anglo I understand Canada would be nothing if it weren't for the Canadiens. Le Regiment du Volitgeurs in QC City was stood up by Salaberrys son, very old regiment. Its history dates back to fending off the American invasions which would have englufed Canada. Vive le Quebec.
@@keithmarchand90 And les " vandoos", les fusiliers Mont-Royal, le régiment de la Chaudière,le 12ième régiment blindé de Trois-Rivières and so on ... Salute from Montréal
Judging from their size, probably the "Heavy" artillery. Viewers should bear in mind that these are Militia units, made up of volunteers and high school students. I give them a LOT of credit, even though they can't march like Regular Force troops. In the US even Active service don't parade, and don't know the "meaning" of the word. The National Guard, which are highly trained reservists, in the Canadian sense, probably don't bother with drill much, but know what they are doing. When they DO march, they don't TRY to stay in step too much, and doesn't look THAT bad. But the Canadians.... every other man trying to do a drill movement to change step, looks awkward at best. Perhaps LESS effort might be better. This is not a criticism. I served in a Militia unit ( British Columbia Regiment, 15th Field Artillery) the regular force ( 1 Airborne Signals, 2Bn Queens Own Rifles), and the US ( USAF , captain), Search and rescue, and New Jersey State Guard. I have served from 1957 ( 13) to 2007 ( 66 Years old). I am retired US Homeland Security. ( Canadian Service counted to retirement.)
I also wonder why Canada went to Scarlet. This was unheard of when I was in. The new flag came out, and the Scarlet went on. I am an Englishman, ancestors Coldstream Guards , RFC and RAF, so the Scarlet means something..... the Canadian cut is off, way too long, almost a greatcoat. Wear a CANADIAN uniform. Reclaim the RCMP Stetson, which started as Canadian Army in ww1, and the RCMP cut is terrific. Let the Brits wear the busbies and pith helmets. Your Canadian. be proud of it.
sk101810 Clarkson, RD
my unit is here at "1957 QOR" this is how MEN march .
my dad served as a militiaman for a few decades of his life, pretty sure hes done with it now but he was a corporal in the South Alberta Light Horse Regiment, He was a tank commander if i remember correctly. He's now a constable with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, he's one of the few out there who i think really has found his dream job
Thats not heavy artillery its 3rd battalion royal canadian regiment regular force light infantry
u guys have no idea what military is and no one cares. shame.. soldiers with no pants?
Richard Clarkson. I think the fact that Canadian troops have wore scarlet since 1757 might be reason to keep wearing it.....
About the "busbies", The fur wedge cap was used by both the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP), later Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), with the first examples coming into service in 1876 until 1901 and then again from 1928 until 1935.
Most ceremonial dress is red going back to the military history of the 1800s and sometimes earlier. Some units wear green as rifle regiments. Formal dress uniforms are usually green for the army. Should note some of these regiments trace themselves back to the American Revolution(Butlers Ranger) or the War of 1812. Canadian regulars (fencible militia) typically war red or green.
Terrible drill, are they even trying?
Better than American drill
anything is better than american drill
Do Canadians have any self discipline? Like a lot of them are way out of line and not remotely close to being synchronized. And wheres the emotion? Casual walk with a careless flail up of the arm?
+xDarkSoul18x it is not all about the drill and discipline on parade, it is about the efficiency and self discipline in battle, which our Canadian Forces are known to have a TON of. Our Army may be a ton of reservists and militiamen but when the fighting starts we do it right, we have since 1867.
+1812AndMore In all fairness, this is some pretty sloppy drill compared to what the Van Doos and the Ceremonial Guard are capable of, but the 22e and CG do it day in and out all summer long, and have much more practice.
xDarkSoul18x These boys aren’t used to culture or heritage it’s rare here under Trudeau, p.s better then american drill
Fuck u.cambia,messines.plogerstert, gold beach,,where the fuck were you, from a yank.
Messy drill!
Why does Canada even have an army? If war came to North America, Canada would be protected by the United States. It's one of the perks of being Uncle Sam's neighbor.
frisco21 because Canada is a Sovereign Nation. Just because we're leaving United States neighbor doesn't mean s***.
Canada may not have a “world power military” but what Canada DOES have, both historically and up to this date, a very highly trained and exceptionally professional and military (quality as opposed to quantity) of soldiers; being said, the modern Canadian military, from the earliest days of WWI proved its immense military worth , fighting and defending alongside the Commonwealth and our Allies. The Canadians forces were very well known by the German troops in WWI and WWII for their tenacity and aggressiveness alongside their exceptional skills during some of the most challenging battles of both world wars. God bless 🇨🇦 always.
Marquis de Dijon god bless Canada from uk
Messiness, cambria, ploggerster, the hundred days,gold beach,Pyongyang, hill 183,ect,who'd think would run.
All countries have an army - either their own or someone else's (old Finnish saying)
Why are they playing Scotland the brave yeah yeah commonwealth but Scotland didn't make the common wealth England did
Britain did!
laura Osborne we have lots of highlanders in the CAF
laura Osborne Scotland is part of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and hence part of the commonwealth. Maybe brush up on your geography.
laura Osborne Reed history be Governor Generals in Charge of parts of Empire & Dominions(The Scotsman/Soldiers.)Who built it!.
laura Osborne You are FUCKING THICK!!
What a joke! I wish canada had a military parade with actual tanks. Look at Russia or china even Latvia I think Latvia has more weapons than we do.
have some respect for the people who give up there lives for u
THE RCR is an infantry regiment. The armoured regiments equipped with the best tank in the world, the Leopard II. are based in Edmonton AB, Gagetown NB, and Valcartier QC, All a long way from Toronto.
Wow show some respect for Canada don't expect all military parades to have tanks
I wasn't trying to disrespect Canada, I see other country's on you tube showing its military gear and.. Well Canada's military parades aren't very impressive at all. I have friends currently in the military and I do have great respect for those who sign up to join and fight for Canadians rights. Sad part is our military has been in some questionable conflicts the last few years!! That's an entirely different debate. I think the Canadian government should step up to the plate and give more funding to all our military!! Especially our navy!!
BULLOCK1973 Canada's military doesn't stand for the same concerns as Russia or China. We march to show our unity and compassion, not weaponry or to intimidate.
what a JOKE !! shame on you Canadian military march !! Learn from British German, Russian , Polish, Ukrainian army how to march !!
Hey buddy canadian soldiers fought like no one could during both world wars . This is not an opinion but an undeniable fact . Read books . They always were far more than simple parade soldiers.
