I don't want to be overly negative on my channel but I have to pin this comment. I've gotten a lot of hate for correcting my speech around the word Indigenous - never thought I'd be called a racist pig and a woke liberal in the same day, new to UA-cam and it's been a wild ride lol. I don't like shallow wokeness at all, and a lot of far left people are just douchebags and want to police every little thing. But as a card carrying Conservative I'm highly disappointed with some of my brethren. Using correct terminology in publicly presented informational videos isn't woke, it's necessary. I'm not shooting the breeze on the weekend with buds, there are different standards for public speech and private chat with friends. Duh. I don't think it's racist to say the wrong words, it's just not the best choice for videos like this. Duh. Sounds trite, but I truly want this to be a channel where people come together from different backgrounds and political stripes. I appreciate everyone watching and engaging with my videos, cheers! Note - I said at the end of the video that I'd be posting a gangs of Calgary video on Sunday. I'll be posting a different video this Sunday and then the gangs of Calgary video next week.
Ey, you will NEVER have a 100% satisfaction rate, you have to be ok w that. Mother Theresa or even Jesus would get cussed out in this eco-system. One thing I learned over all my channels/years, you get thick skin fast when being a public presenter/creator, and can't over-apologize or attack back - they will eat you fast. Just be impartial, intelligent people fully innerstand what you're doing.
@@NORBZMUSIC Hey bro I appreciate the insight - you're right. I definitely don't want to over-apologize or cater to the crazies with their insane complaints, but people have been pretty reasonable in explaining word distinctions and how I might be more precise. And I want to present things as well as possible if I'm putting out these public videos dealing with highly sensitive topics. It's definitely been an adjustment going from a couple hundred views a video to this gong show. I hear you though, good looking out mate. Learning to let things slide and prioritize what I respond to. Cheers
I never called you a racist. I don't like all the new handles that the government labels us. I understand that younger ones meant want to be called first nation
As an indigenous man you don't have to apologize. We are not all sensitive 😅 lots of indigenous people just look for things to complain about unfortunately. People call us a lot worse and with the intention of being racist.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I hear ya, I'm just trying to be as respectful as possible. I also just think there are different standards for public and private speech, it's not like I'm just shooting the breeze with bros at the bar. I hope people can see my heart is in the right place and I'm trying. Cheers mate
Native guy here don't give af what ya call us lol call us flat backs or chief squats while pees. People are offended about everything. Live a little. By the way fuk trudeau 😂
You are going to be damned with whatever term you use. Some prefer Indian, First Nations, Aboriginals or Indigenous. Someone is going to be unhappy with whatever term you use.
That's very true - I offend people regardless of which way I go. But I want to use the most commonly accepted terms, especially when talking about such serious subject matter. Thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. Cheers mate
As a full status indigenous person. Go ahead and call us Indians or Natives dude. It’s not offensive at all. I don’t know a single native who’s actually offended by those terms. Keep up with the videos tho! Loving your channel
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - I hear you, I just thought it was proper to use the official terms when making presentations like this, especially when it's more of a controversial topic where I have to really tread lightly. I appreciate what you're saying though, cheers mate!
It's usually white university students who get upset about it because "racism". Yet they don't hesitate to tell indigenous folk what they should be called, which is the very definition of racism
It's just the ones in the cites, and it's mostly about getting something...( don't forget the white chicks) A good chunk of my family is native, just don't be a loser person about it. Plus they have the best Indian jokes
I'm from an indigenous community out west, and obviously not looking indigenous at all I had to figure it out over the years. It's tone and intention that people care about. I obviously raise my kids to say indigenous but even when elders visit them they use Indian, native and indigenous interchangeably.
@@deadnorth8648 I am a white boy in Winnipeg married to a amazing native woman in the North End for 35 yrs and have 6 great sons and a daughter and have had great relationships with the gangs in the peg , what still to this day pisses me off is the education system that teaches that the indigenous and great peoples from the land of the free were called "Indians " and have never corrected this historical error in schools nor apologised when the true fact is that indians are from India , not Canada . Peace & Love
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - just trying to face up to my mistakes, I'm a rookie at all this and still learning. Cheers mate!
Hey thanks for watching and taking the time to comment - I'm a rookie at all this and it means a lot when people do that. I also appreciate the feedback - I thought the videos flowed better with music but many people have said the music I have added to my videos is irritating. Certainly easier on my end to omit that step. Still figuring that out, will probably try a few more without music. Cheers mate!
Hey thanks for watching and taking the time to comment - I still can't believe my little videos are getting so many views but I'm glad they're providing some value. Striving to improve! Cheers mate
I really like watching the videos. Keep going doing what you’re doing. If people get butt hurt and offended that’s their problem they can suck it up. Tell it like it is.
Here's a bunch of Canadian gang channels worth checking out: Hood chronicles, MindSoul6ix, Child Suhpport, Oba.Bubba, and even though it's not Canada only - Swamp Storiez does some good pieces on Canadian activity.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - I plan on doing some of those cities down the road. Had no idea these would be so popular. Cheers mate!
@@strangenorth no worries at all! Love the stuff Should add. I find it really useful to help me better understand Canada. Moved here from Ireland and nobody ever teaches you about the less savoury parts of the country. But it’s fascinating stuff and it’s great to learn more
As a lifelong Winnipegger i remember several of these events you mention. I think your presentation of them was accurate and respectful. IMO the value of illuminating these stories outweighs any UA-cam right fighters complaints. Keep it up!
Hey thanks for watching and it means a lot when people take the time to comment - I hope I was fair and respectful, it's serious subject matter and I'm trying to tread carefully. Cheers mate
Im only 25% MicMac and mostly Balkan Serbian, but i know lots of gangs, and i slowly progressed into Crime and Gangs myself when i was 12/13yrs old, i started getting Charged and my Court Sentences started off with 1 year Probation and Fines at 13, and then got 9 months Monitored House Arrest a few weeks after my 15th BDay except for when i was at School, but my Junior/High School was Very Strict and i was a Troubled Kid, which didnt mix, it had Extra-BulletProof Glass with Wires in between 2 Bulletproof Window Panes, and was quite a Large School that had over 1,400 13-18yr old Kids, plus over 150 Teachers & Staff, it also had 4 Un-Armed Security Guards that were Controlled by 2 Rotating Armed Police Officers with a Mini Police Sub-Station in the School with an Office Equipped with 2 Holding Cells. The reason was mostly because of a Bomb Threat at one of the Elementary Schools a few blocks away in 97'/98'ish, and i was attending there when it happened, i was in Grade 3, and after i was done 3rd Grade something terrible had happened to my mom, and my Mom had to Move Us to a 17Story Womens Shelter in Downtown Edmonton, that had a Kindergarten-Grade 7 School with a Fenced Protected Rooftop Playground at the 10th Floor for the first half of Grade 4, and then We were moved to Wetaskwin Women's Shelter where i Finished the other Half of Grade 4, and we moved back South shorty after the end of my School year in July 1999. This just happened to be 3 months after a School Shooting in 99', a CopyCat TrenchCoat School Shooting that happened just a few days after Columbine happened... Anyways after i did my house arrest i was still 15, but was getting worse and more involved in the Streets, at 16yrs old in 2006, i did 1 Short 6 Month Youth Sentence (Served 140 of 180 Days) in CYOC, and once i was 18, actually on my 18th bday i got 30 days in jail which was a sh!tty 18th bday, lol but in all, ive done a few Short Provincial Stints (30, 90, 150, and 320 Days) and a Couple Longer Provincial Stints (400 and 480Days) All in Alberta, and your right about the Warriors, they are Usually Lead by Native American Members and have alot like 3/4 Native or Part Native Native Members, but its been a Mixed Gang Now for a while (All Western Province Factions anyways), and AB and BC Warriors consist of quite a few Full Blooded Caucasian, African-Canadians, and Asian members. Good video tho man! KEEP IT UP! I just wanted to Correct you tho, so you can Learn and maybe have Some Short 5-10 Minute Part.2 Extended Videos, that will ALL Ultimately Add Up to More Subs, Likes, and Views. It will also Reach a Larger Audience, and Practice for You and Your Content Creating for your YT Channel and hopefully put some extra Change in your pocket, if your up to it. First i want to help ya out and teach ya some info on the Black Caribbean and African-Canadian Gang Gang Prescence to look up Carribana ha eto know that Edmonton is #2 in Canadas Top 5 Metros with African, African-Canadian, and Black Caribbean Gangs, so it does have the Largest Black Gang Prescence Outside of Toronto followed by MTL and then Winnipeg and Halifax. However Toronto and Edmonton both Hold some of the Largest Carribana Festivals in North America, but the Black gangs are mostly Caribbean Jamaican, Hatian, Brazilan, and Dominican, followed by Nigerian, Congolese, and Ethiopian Gangs. The Alberta Government has a Reccomendation though that Mainstrean Newspapers and News NetWorks dont use the Gang Names, so its harder to study. Calgary, Vancouver and MTL will be awesome Vids, those cities have more Organized Large Mixed Criminal Organizations that arent based on Race Anymore, Although they may have a Name that Says so.. However ALOT of White/Dark White Southern/Eastern European Balkan, Mediterranean, and Baltic 1st-3rd Generation people with Family Members from Countries like Ukraine, Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, Romania, Armenia, Albania, Italy, Greece, Spain. Ireland and France as well. Another Cool Video would be on Albertas Large Town-Mid Size City Gangs with Populations under 200k. Also The Okanagan (Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Peachland) would be Awesome!!
Hey brother, thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to write a detailed comment. I read through it and I appreciate all that information. I have some knowledge of gangs, but I don't know everything and I have a lot to learn about that world. I hope I was mostly fair and balanced in this video. I really appreciate all the tips you gave me, lots to research and think about. You also make a great point about how a lot of gangs sort of started out being a certain ethnicity and then they gradually include members from other races to become more diverse. That seems to be happening more and more and I think I could mention that more in my videos. I'm still a rookie at this but I'm really motivated to up my game and bring people better videos. I'm looking forward to more videos down the road. Cheers mate!
I lived in Winnipeg from 82 to 89. I had friends that were aboriginal and I was told at the time to use the word Native which I always did. I have always loved the city of Winnipeg and it saddens me to hear about the gang activity there.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - I'm just trying to be as respectful as possible, I don't think it's necessarily racist say the wrong word but I want to use the proper terms when presenting controversial topics like this. And Winnipeg is a great city overall, just wanted to give a general gang overview. All the best to you, cheers
Thanks dude, I appreciate you watching! I figure if I'm presenting information in a formal way then I need to use standard terms - never thought so many people would call me a liberal snowflake for it lmao. Can't please everyone I'm finding out quickly. Cheers bro
i’m from canada myself, and have been playing a game as i watch your videos where i try and figure out what part of canada you’re from. i’m getting big bc/alberta vibes, but i gotta know
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take time to leave feedback - I've heard it's one of the most violent prisons in the country, I'm sure you've got some stories! Cheers mate
Hey thanks for watching and it means a lot when people take the time to comment - I definitely do respect your people quite a bit, just prone to mistakes and still learning. Cheers mate
We are kinda stuck in a generation of change. My grandfather probably never heard the word Indigenous, while my grandsons may never hear the word Indian. Easy for our generation to make mistakes like this. Love these videos!!
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - I am a rookie at all this and it means a lot when people do that. And that's a fair point, I honestly think that most people mean well. I certainly want to be very respectful to all parties, especially when talking about a more controversial issue like this where I really have to be careful and tread lightly. All the best to you, cheers mate!
You’re doing great and I’m surprised to know you are a rookie at this. I subscribed after the first video that I watched. I appreciate all the information you share.
as someone with native blood who has faced racism countless times; there is absolutely nothing wrong with calling first nations people natives. anyone who has a problem with that has a chip on their shoulder or too much time on their hands. that being said, the most important thing is to not be racist in your day to day life. when racism shows it's ugly face at schools workplaces and even hospitals it can be quite devastating. (seen hiring processes in Kingston Ontario AND Vancouver BC where the person looking through resumes singles out a native sounding last name, making a joke, and dismisses the applicant immediately.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I hear you, just trying to be as respectful as possible. I also think that there are different standards when I'm presenting public information versus just chatting casually with friends. I was wondering about that, seems like Indigenous is the most accepted word overall but native doesn't bother people that much. A bunch of people called me out for misusing Indian and aboriginal specifically. I'm a rookie at all this and still learning. And you're right, there is all sorts of discrimination out there and life is depressingly unfair. Hope you're doing well, cheers mate
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I still can't believe anyone is watching my little videos but I'm glad they're providing some value. Cheers mate!

Hey Buddy I have a fledgling UA-cam channel as well. We gotta stick together. And I actually like your delivery. I can't wait until you hit all the biker gangs in Thunder Bay. Back in my day there were tons. Angels, Los Bravo's, If I'm not mistaken a few Rock Machine. Was a wild time in the 90s. Oh and I do a kids animal channel Wild Canada for Kids!
@@bahbus Cool thanks for the info, and you're right - Thunder Bay has a serious gang reputation, especially given the relatively small size of the city. I'll check out your channel too, I respect the initiative and challenge of starting out on UA-cam, not always easy! Cheers brother
Thank you for that, Wild Canada is just a trial channel to develop my skills. But I do take seriously my commitment to quality children's educational content.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - just trying to be as respectful as possible when presenting this information, really have to tread carefully. Cheers mate!
Don't worry too much about getting hate for using the "wrong" terms to describe indians/natives/aboriginals/indigenious. You will always piss someone off, regardless of how politically correct you're trying to be. Great video(s) and very well done, you deserve way more views and subscribers!

Good for you for clarifying the "indigenous" terminology. It can get a little bit complicated, especially from place to place sometimes, and terms can be very generational too. I'm always of the perspective that as long as a person is well intentioned and respectful, the terms aren't always as important, but "indigenous" is definitely the way to go 👍
Thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback - I just really figure that if I'm presenting this serious subject matter than I ought to use the most commonly accepted terms. I have to tread carefully, trying to respect everyone. Cheers mate
In regards to the words you chose to address indigenous people, I wouldn't worry too much about what the woke crowd thinks. You certainly did not come across as racist or discriminatory. Great videos btw!
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - I'm glad you're getting some value out of my videos!

i like your style bro. When you talk it doesn't sound like it's scripted, it's more like actually having someone talk to me with knowledge straight from their brain. You know? As if your'e trying to have a conversation with me about it instead of just ""heres the facts and heres my opinion"" kinda thing. That make sense? I hope it did. Keep posting videos! youtube needs more of you. Cheers! And you give a shoutout to another channel. You are a true canadian Gem brother!
Hey thanks man I appreciate it - I'm definitely pretty new to UA-cam/video production and striving to improve but I'm glad people are getting some value out of my little videos. And it only makes sense to shoutout other channels as there any many other people who make better videos on the same subjects lol. Cheers mate!
Congrats on another job well done! I am enjoying watching your videos and glad that I have subscribed. Please know that you are not the only person to use an incorrect moniker such as "Indian". Even as a non-status woman, I too have a hard time keeping up with what is politically correct - Native, First Nations, Aboriginal, and now Indigenous. But as you have admitted your mistake, and are so willing to learn from this misstep, I hope others will understand that you are only a human who is learning just like the rest of us... Keep up the informative videos and I look forward to your next project.

as someone who lives in Winnipeg, there is about 25 different blood sets ranging from kids, to females, to prison gangs. there is much more that what is mentioned in this video. Still great job on the video bro!
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback! Good to know - I'm still very much learning and definitely don't know it all, wanted to just give general overviews on some of the big players. I hope I was fair and respectful, it's a sensitive topic where I have to tread lightly but obviously gangs know that people are aware of them. Seems like gang activity is surprisingly high in Winnipeg given the size of the city. Cheers mate!
@@strangenorthyou’re also missing asian crip n blood gangs too it’s very hard to find info on them cuz there are less and very good at staying low key but they have an ongoing feud with many bodies between them and are big in the drug trade here same with the AFG afghani gang
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I found the Waterhen dispute to be pretty interesting. That was actually a big story and I could have talked about it for a long time but I just wanted to touch on it briefly. Hope I was fair in my presentation of this topic. Cheers mate
Grew up in Pine Falls, Stronquill was one of the RCMP officers there when I grew up. He later transfered after I left and was murdered by 2 boys and a girlfriend
I'm a new fan by the way, I live on Vancouver Island and live in Duncan I'm a current member of the Mexican gang Ñuestra Familia there's not much members here in the Cowichan Valley because majority of our members are in Victoria and the Wilkinson Victoria prison it started when the first members from the island traveled to Mexico and came back being Norteno members there's tags here in the valley and Victoria "XIV"
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - wow I didn't know the Mexican gang families had a presence like that on Vancouver Island and I'm even more surprised they're watching my channel, gracias por mirar senor!

@@leogiberson5046 I'm glad the video was useful, I think it's a pretty fair overview of gangs in the city. And yeah I agree, the north end of Winnipeg seems to produce these really influential gangs that spread out across the country. Winnipeg is a neat city with a rich history and many stories. Cheers
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback - fair point, I probably could have emphasized more the fact that some of these groups aren't as prominent on the streets. I just really wanted to highlight some of the major gangs in Winnipeg history, always fascinated by the topic. Cheers bro
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback - I plan on doing more city gang videos down the road, although these gang videos definitely get a lot more negative backlash than the others so it can be stressful lol.

@@strangenorth I feel I am an expert on this issue having been addicted to UA-cam for over a decade. It is only acceptable to play music during points at which nobody is talking. For example, if you are showing Russians getting blown up by a drone, you can play music at a low volume during the clip. If you are talking, it is annoying to viewers because it is distracting and harder to hear the information.
You should read Danny wolfes book they said they started on langside there was 7 of them. I'm not sure if they are against the bikers tho when I was in stoney they where running with them but I heard they are not with them again. MOB are not with the warriors any more. There is no red alert here TS is not really here and they had green rags.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - I actually haven't read that book, that's a great recommendation. I understood there was still a small Redd Alert presence in Winnipeg but it was very limited. I didn't know about TS using green rags in Winnipeg, have they always done that?

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I hear ya, I'm just trying to be as respectful as possible. I also just think there are different standards for public and private speech, it's not like I'm just shooting the breeze with bros at the bar. I hope people can see my heart is in the right place and I'm trying. Cheers mate
Native guy here don't give af what ya call us lol call us flat backs or chief squats while pees. People are offended about everything. Live a little. By the way fuk trudeau 😂
You are going to be damned with whatever term you use. Some prefer Indian, First Nations, Aboriginals or Indigenous. Someone is going to be unhappy with whatever term you use.
And neechie..
That's very true - I offend people regardless of which way I go. But I want to use the most commonly accepted terms, especially when talking about such serious subject matter. Thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. Cheers mate
@@klovenkane5982 Yes, I have heard that before too!
I prefer to be called a wagon burner lol
@@49wolfen lol haha
As a full status indigenous person. Go ahead and call us Indians or Natives dude. It’s not offensive at all. I don’t know a single native who’s actually offended by those terms. Keep up with the videos tho! Loving your channel
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - I hear you, I just thought it was proper to use the official terms when making presentations like this, especially when it's more of a controversial topic where I have to really tread lightly. I appreciate what you're saying though, cheers mate!
It's usually white university students who get upset about it because "racism". Yet they don't hesitate to tell indigenous folk what they should be called, which is the very definition of racism
It's just the ones in the cites, and it's mostly about getting something...( don't forget the white chicks)
A good chunk of my family is native, just don't be a loser person about it.
Plus they have the best Indian jokes
I'm from an indigenous community out west, and obviously not looking indigenous at all I had to figure it out over the years. It's tone and intention that people care about. I obviously raise my kids to say indigenous but even when elders visit them they use Indian, native and indigenous interchangeably.
@@deadnorth8648 I am a white boy in Winnipeg married to a amazing native woman in the North End for 35 yrs and have 6 great sons and a daughter and have had great relationships with the gangs in the peg , what still to this day pisses me off is the education system that teaches that the indigenous and great peoples from the land of the free were called "Indians " and have never corrected this historical error in schools nor apologised when the true fact is that indians are from India , not Canada . Peace & Love

@@strangenorth Hahahahaha yup! F**k him, that traitor! Love the channel bro!
Dude, respect on the start of the video. That was dope and you are a sincere person

Thanks so much for no background music👍you are awesome. ❤love your channel!
Hey thanks for watching and taking the time to comment - I'm a rookie at all this and it means a lot when people do that. I also appreciate the feedback - I thought the videos flowed better with music but many people have said the music I have added to my videos is irritating. Certainly easier on my end to omit that step. Still figuring that out, will probably try a few more without music.
Cheers mate!
Love this one dude, Winnipeg is really the gang capital of the prairies and has been for awhile
Thanks for watching! I agree, seems like it has the heaviest gang presence in the prairies. Cheers!
Great video, keep it up! I've been watching every upload since I found your channel.
Hey thanks for watching and taking the time to comment - I still can't believe my little videos are getting so many views but I'm glad they're providing some value. Striving to improve! Cheers mate
I really like watching the videos. Keep going doing what you’re doing. If people get butt hurt and offended that’s their problem they can suck it up. Tell it like it is.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback - I just figure if I'm presenting serious information I should use standard terms. Cheers!
You are a great person i think. Thank you for being respectful 🙏
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment - means a lot! Cheers
Awesome!!! Thank you. I grew up in the northend, i love seeing this

Here's a bunch of Canadian gang channels worth checking out: Hood chronicles, MindSoul6ix, Child Suhpport, Oba.Bubba, and even though it's not Canada only - Swamp Storiez does some good pieces on Canadian activity.
Thanks for the recommendations - I haven't heard of the others but Hood Chronicles is great, they have a ton of really informative videos. Cheers bro
Respect 🙏 Love how you are so humble and focus on ensuring your facts and terminology is acceptable and true.
no, that's apologetic cuck-talk.
Hey thanks for saying that, means a lot when people take the time to comment. Cheers mate!
Looking forward to seeing you going further east. Thunder Bay, the GTA and Ottawa for example
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - I plan on doing some of those cities down the road. Had no idea these would be so popular. Cheers mate!
@@strangenorth no worries at all! Love the stuff
Should add. I find it really useful to help me better understand Canada. Moved here from Ireland and nobody ever teaches you about the less savoury parts of the country. But it’s fascinating stuff and it’s great to learn more
As a lifelong Winnipegger i remember several of these events you mention. I think your presentation of them was accurate and respectful. IMO the value of illuminating these stories outweighs any UA-cam right fighters complaints.
Keep it up!
Hey thanks for watching and it means a lot when people take the time to comment - I hope I was fair and respectful, it's serious subject matter and I'm trying to tread carefully. Cheers mate
Im only 25% MicMac and mostly Balkan Serbian, but i know lots of gangs, and i slowly progressed into Crime and Gangs myself when i was 12/13yrs old, i started getting Charged and my Court Sentences started off with 1 year Probation and Fines at 13, and then got 9 months Monitored House Arrest a few weeks after my 15th BDay except for when i was at School, but my Junior/High School was Very Strict and i was a Troubled Kid, which didnt mix, it had Extra-BulletProof Glass with Wires in between 2 Bulletproof Window Panes, and was quite a Large School that had over 1,400 13-18yr old Kids, plus over 150 Teachers & Staff, it also had 4 Un-Armed Security Guards that were Controlled by 2 Rotating Armed Police Officers with a Mini Police Sub-Station in the School with an Office Equipped with 2 Holding Cells. The reason was mostly because of a Bomb Threat at one of the Elementary Schools a few blocks away in 97'/98'ish, and i was attending there when it happened, i was in Grade 3, and after i was done 3rd Grade something terrible had happened to my mom, and my Mom had to Move Us to a 17Story Womens Shelter in Downtown Edmonton, that had a Kindergarten-Grade 7 School with a Fenced Protected Rooftop Playground at the 10th Floor for the first half of Grade 4, and then We were moved to Wetaskwin Women's Shelter where i Finished the other Half of Grade 4, and we moved back South shorty after the end of my School year in July 1999. This just happened to be 3 months after a School Shooting in 99', a CopyCat TrenchCoat School Shooting that happened just a few days after Columbine happened... Anyways after i did my house arrest i was still 15, but was getting worse and more involved in the Streets, at 16yrs old in 2006, i did 1 Short 6 Month Youth Sentence (Served 140 of 180 Days) in CYOC, and once i was 18, actually on my 18th bday i got 30 days in jail which was a sh!tty 18th bday, lol but in all, ive done a few Short Provincial Stints (30, 90, 150, and 320 Days) and a Couple Longer Provincial Stints (400 and 480Days) All in Alberta, and your right about the Warriors, they are Usually Lead by Native American Members and have alot like 3/4 Native or Part Native Native Members, but its been a Mixed Gang Now for a while (All Western Province Factions anyways), and AB and BC Warriors consist of quite a few Full Blooded Caucasian, African-Canadians, and Asian members. Good video tho man! KEEP IT UP!
I just wanted to Correct you tho, so you can Learn and maybe have Some Short 5-10 Minute Part.2 Extended Videos, that will ALL Ultimately Add Up to More Subs, Likes, and Views. It will also Reach a Larger Audience, and Practice for You and Your Content Creating for your YT Channel and hopefully put some extra Change in your pocket, if your up to it.
First i want to help ya out and teach ya some info on the Black Caribbean and African-Canadian Gang Gang Prescence to look up Carribana ha eto know that Edmonton is #2 in Canadas Top 5 Metros with African, African-Canadian, and Black Caribbean Gangs, so it does have the Largest Black Gang Prescence Outside of Toronto followed by MTL and then Winnipeg and Halifax. However Toronto and Edmonton both Hold some of the Largest Carribana Festivals in North America, but the Black gangs are mostly Caribbean Jamaican, Hatian, Brazilan, and Dominican, followed by Nigerian, Congolese, and Ethiopian Gangs. The Alberta Government has a Reccomendation though that Mainstrean Newspapers and News NetWorks dont use the Gang Names, so its harder to study.
Calgary, Vancouver and MTL will be awesome Vids, those cities have more Organized Large Mixed Criminal Organizations that arent based on Race Anymore, Although they may have a Name that Says so.. However ALOT of White/Dark White Southern/Eastern European Balkan, Mediterranean, and Baltic 1st-3rd Generation people with Family Members from Countries like Ukraine, Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, Romania, Armenia, Albania, Italy, Greece, Spain. Ireland and France as well.
Another Cool Video would be on Albertas Large Town-Mid Size City Gangs with Populations under 200k. Also The Okanagan (Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Peachland) would be Awesome!!
Hey brother, thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to write a detailed comment. I read through it and I appreciate all that information. I have some knowledge of gangs, but I don't know everything and I have a lot to learn about that world. I hope I was mostly fair and balanced in this video.
I really appreciate all the tips you gave me, lots to research and think about. You also make a great point about how a lot of gangs sort of started out being a certain ethnicity and then they gradually include members from other races to become more diverse. That seems to be happening more and more and I think I could mention that more in my videos. I'm still a rookie at this but I'm really motivated to up my game and bring people better videos.
I'm looking forward to more videos down the road.
Cheers mate!
I lived in Winnipeg from 82 to 89. I had friends that were aboriginal and I was told at the time to use the word Native which I always did. I have always loved the city of Winnipeg and it saddens me to hear about the gang activity there.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - I'm just trying to be as respectful as possible, I don't think it's necessarily racist say the wrong word but I want to use the proper terms when presenting controversial topics like this. And Winnipeg is a great city overall, just wanted to give a general gang overview. All the best to you, cheers
Bang bang, looking forward to this, and good on you for approaching this respectfully.
Thanks dude, I appreciate you watching! I figure if I'm presenting information in a formal way then I need to use standard terms - never thought so many people would call me a liberal snowflake for it lmao. Can't please everyone I'm finding out quickly. Cheers bro
i’m from canada myself, and have been playing a game as i watch your videos where i try and figure out what part of canada you’re from. i’m getting big bc/alberta vibes, but i gotta know
Hey thanks for watching! I'm in Alberta, how about yourself?
Fellow Albertan I see, you don't see much of em around 'ere.@@strangenorth
As a ex correction officer i saw lot's of gangs in my life, used to work at Stony Mountain penitentiary.

Humble intro man , Thanks for sharing .
Hey thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment, I'm a rookie at all this and it means a lot when people do that. Cheers mate
We are kinda stuck in a generation of change. My grandfather probably never heard the word Indigenous, while my grandsons may never hear the word Indian. Easy for our generation to make mistakes like this. Love these videos!!
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - I am a rookie at all this and it means a lot when people do that. And that's a fair point, I honestly think that most people mean well. I certainly want to be very respectful to all parties, especially when talking about a more controversial issue like this where I really have to be careful and tread lightly.
All the best to you, cheers mate!
You’re doing great and I’m surprised to know you are a rookie at this. I subscribed after the first video that I watched. I appreciate all the information you share.
as someone with native blood who has faced racism countless times; there is absolutely nothing wrong with calling first nations people natives. anyone who has a problem with that has a chip on their shoulder or too much time on their hands. that being said, the most important thing is to not be racist in your day to day life. when racism shows it's ugly face at schools workplaces and even hospitals it can be quite devastating. (seen hiring processes in Kingston Ontario AND Vancouver BC where the person looking through resumes singles out a native sounding last name, making a joke, and dismisses the applicant immediately.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I hear you, just trying to be as respectful as possible. I also think that there are different standards when I'm presenting public information versus just chatting casually with friends. I was wondering about that, seems like Indigenous is the most accepted word overall but native doesn't bother people that much. A bunch of people called me out for misusing Indian and aboriginal specifically. I'm a rookie at all this and still learning.
And you're right, there is all sorts of discrimination out there and life is depressingly unfair.
Hope you're doing well, cheers mate
I think you're a good guy. Awesome videos.

Oh and I do a kids animal channel Wild Canada for Kids!
@@bahbus Cool thanks for the info, and you're right - Thunder Bay has a serious gang reputation, especially given the relatively small size of the city. I'll check out your channel too, I respect the initiative and challenge of starting out on UA-cam, not always easy! Cheers brother

Good for you for clarifying the "indigenous" terminology. It can get a little bit complicated, especially from place to place sometimes, and terms can be very generational too. I'm always of the perspective that as long as a person is well intentioned and respectful, the terms aren't always as important, but "indigenous" is definitely the way to go 👍
Thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback - I just really figure that if I'm presenting this serious subject matter than I ought to use the most commonly accepted terms. I have to tread carefully, trying to respect everyone. Cheers mate

i like your style bro. When you talk it doesn't sound like it's scripted, it's more like actually having someone talk to me with knowledge straight from their brain. You know? As if your'e trying to have a conversation with me about it instead of just ""heres the facts and heres my opinion"" kinda thing. That make sense? I hope it did. Keep posting videos! youtube needs more of you. Cheers!

Congrats on another job well done! I am enjoying watching your videos and glad that I have subscribed. Please know that you are not the only person to use an incorrect moniker such as "Indian". Even as a non-status woman, I too have a hard time keeping up with what is politically correct - Native, First Nations, Aboriginal, and now Indigenous. But as you have admitted your mistake, and are so willing to learn from this misstep, I hope others will understand that you are only a human who is learning just like the rest of us... Keep up the informative videos and I look forward to your next project.

The outrage was not over the major crimes these gangs committed, but over which is the politically correct racial descriptor. Typical
Indians are from India, duh

@@strangenorth I feel I am an expert on this issue having been addicted to UA-cam for over a decade. It is only acceptable to play music during points at which nobody is talking. For example, if you are showing Russians getting blown up by a drone, you can play music at a low volume during the clip. If you are talking, it is annoying to viewers because it is distracting and harder to hear the information.
Thanks for the education
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback - glad this provided some value. Cheers!
I was born in Murderpeg
I've heard it can be rough!
You should read Danny wolfes book they said they started on langside there was 7 of them. I'm not sure if they are against the bikers tho when I was in stoney they where running with them but I heard they are not with them again. MOB are not with the warriors any more. There is no red alert here TS is not really here and they had green rags.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to comment - I actually haven't read that book, that's a great recommendation. I understood there was still a small Redd Alert presence in Winnipeg but it was very limited. I didn't know about TS using green rags in Winnipeg, have they always done that?
Proper funding and different healings from guarding my monyas growing up.
Hey thanks for watching, all the best to you!
Bro it's Hobbema, everyone calls it that even people from there lol. You gonna get hate no matter what
I hear you, just figured I should use the formal terms when talking about contentious issues like this. Want to be as respectful as possible. Cheers mate
terror squad is so cringe, i have cousins who r active in them and always bring violence into my reserve.. so childish really

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback - just trying to be as respectful as possible, especially when presenting controversial topics like this where I have to tread carefully. Cheers mate
Never mind "proper terms" even they are not offered by the terms
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I hear ya, but I disagree about using proper terms. I gotta use proper terms when publicly presenting sensitive topics like this. I understand a lot of people aren't offended by the "wrong" terms, and I don't think it's racist to get words wrong. But it's not like I'm just shooting the breeze with buds here, there are different standards for public and private speech. I take your point though. Cheers mate
@@strangenorth fair enough man. Cheers back
Political correctness I'm a fucking Indian 61years old been an Indian
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I hear ya, just trying to be as respectful as possible. I also think there are different standards for public and private speech. I mean I'm not just shooting the breeze with buds here, I'm publicly presenting sensitive topics and I want to do things as best as I can. I'm a rookie at all this and it means a lot when people leave their feedback. Cheers mate
