@@bazz2438 Unfortunately, the MP5 is classified as a prohibited firearm in ALL variants, even if they are not capable of fully automatic fire. Fully automatic MP5 submachine guns have been banned since 1978, but semi-auto versions have been banned since the 1990s by name in all variants. The MPX was, up until recently, an excellent alternative to the MP5 but the government of True-Dope banned that as well. By the way, I am a Canadian citizen and I have fired a fully automatic MP5. A couple weeks ago, I rented one in Vermont, where I was working.
Because MP5 submachine guns are classified as prohibited firearms by name, even if they are not capable of full auto fire. But a few ranges in Canada actually rent prohibited firearms to shoot; you have to pay quite a bit, but it is a worthwhile experience. The Calgary Shooting Centre rents several prohibited firearms such as the FN-FAL, Thompson SMG, MP5, and a few others. Then again, you can always travel to the States to shoot one. I recently shot a full auto MP5 in Vermont (a rental gun).
The VPD has had several incidents involving the use of these weapons, most notably at YVR resulting in the death of an innocent civilian. It was a joke.
If the tac. unit broke down my door and the first thing I would see if Rick Mercer running through the door, I would collapse in laughter. No need taser me, I would already be incapacitated by laughter.
I loved the line, when I was 18 and came here , I think I had a beer under this bridge now I am repelling down it, sad thing is I know that bridge and I had a beer down their also.
Look closer. The video was produced by the CBC for "The Rick Mercer Report". It's a TV show. You'll need sharper deduction skills than that if you want to be a police officer.
Police units operate with every member of equal rank except the team leader, who is a sergeant. All these guys are Constables, and that rank has no insignia.
And Rick got shoot an MP5 without an RPAL. Rick there is a red dot sight on that thing for a reason. You were shooting a little low. Good on the rest to leave when he went full auto. And me with an AR15 OIC ban on semi-automative single shot firearms. Lol.
rick mercer is the best, setphen colbart should get out more. best thing ever would be if colbert and mercer joined in a joint training exercise with the canadian and americans armies, that would be great!
@kirky1801 This is just more or less political humour. I find it funny cuz im Canadian. Maybe you dont. Anyways this was in my home town so its pretty darn funny!
i met Vern White, he is so racist it's not even funny! bristled at the sight of my black friend and stood as tall as he could to speak over him when questioned about his response to his officer's abuses. You can tell he's a bad person because of how broken his nose is
Lol their gear is hilariously old. But so is this video. Didn't they have level IIA acrylic in those days? I dang near fell off a mountain safely rappelling, I know law better than most cops and MP9 all the way. Bullseye 1/27, 3rd ring 80percent at 300 rpm with pistols. 2nd ring 100%. Cops lost out denying me clearance. Hey guys where do I go to get a meaningful job that will test my skills in a way which I deem morally acceptable and which any breach of rights cannot be made without 90 percent certainty give me a shout. Shoutout to legit organizations just say the word and I will send a rather meaningless resume. My experience doesn't justify me because I am a broke social idiot vested only in science and justice. I have spent more than 1/4 of a year in 'not jail' for a 'not a crime'. GIMME A JOB ANYONE AS LONG AS YOU ARENT THE CROOKED OR SCREWED.
Rick is the only civilian Canadian that got to shoot an mp5 I’ve ever seen
They're are variants available in the civilian market

I mean I'm an independent when considering politics...but seriously I gotta give respect to John Baird for agreeing with this haha.
Baird has a good sense of humour to take part in this...
How did they ever get John Baird to agree with that one?
John Baird, holy shit lmao, what a good sport
''Eat your heart out, mall security'' LMFAO
I love how we Canadians have such a good sense of humour
When ever I am feeling down, I just watch Rick Mercer and life is good again😉👍❤️
Ottawa Tac Unit has got to be the most comfortable swat team in the country knowing JTF2 is literally right there all the time.
One of the things I love about my neighbors from up north.
"Can we taser him?" Be glad it's not the Vancouver Police Department Rick was training with, Min. Baird. ;)
The VPD has had several incidents involving the use of these weapons, most notably at YVR resulting in the death of an innocent civilian.
It was a joke.
AJ Zebadua The one at YVR was the RCMP, not VPD.
Marodan My mistake, the point was that they weren't Vancouver-based constables.
I love it when politicians get in on the fun.
Claytron -pe
He got to dump an MP5?! I wanna dump an MP5! D:
nice to see fellow cape bretoners doing something awesome
Rick is a great Commentator ,, shows it like it is !!! , with a Sense of Humour ,, that all can relate too !!!
Before i watch the full video, I would like to point out that it kinda looks like he walks into the telephone poll a little at 00:15 lol

Everyone used to drink down there,especially on Canada Day.
As an aspiring police officer I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
"I could eat." hahahah!
my aunt went to school with him, she said that he was HILARIOUS!
"Mercer, you good to go?"
"I could eat..."
They filmed this on the Quebec side of the bridge..
this is the Canada we all remember and love
love the weed leaves at the end!
LMAo when i saw Rick and the Ottawa tactical unit, i was like fuck this is going to be funny.
That's the guy that announced the Carbon Tax in 2008!!!!!
The part with the Environment Minister had me in stiches LOLOL!
Jezuz, a funny rep of parliament!!!
Well done Rick, was waiting for the take down...
LOL, Rick was pointing the gun everywhere and anywhere hehe!
We have a situation! "I could eat!" LOL!!!
Baird you're a good sport!
Look closer. The video was produced by the CBC for "The Rick Mercer Report". It's a TV show.
You'll need sharper deduction skills than that if you want to be a police officer.
shoots the target in the crotch area. "Yea, he would be in a world of hurt!" hahaha
Rick thanks for the laugh, 😂😂
I have also drank a beer under that bridge
Flagging everyone never seemed more fun 😂
If they actually have GMC vehicles then we are screwed!
Bless Canada
@vancouverbman Basically every time they take on a guy with a "weapon" it's considered risking their lives, plus lots of major stuff is covered up.
Anyone notice the pot plants around Baird?
Those plants in the room at the end look like pot plants.
I subed because this is so goddamn funny!!!
Love this video
they came to my old nieberhood with 29 cop cars sipers and everything
Mercer has that finger off the trigger!

Rick Mercer is cool...!
HAHAHA That Police station he's at in this vid is only a 5 minute walking distance from my school (Immaculata Catholic High School)! Not EVEN! XD
Hats, why did i picture that as a TF2 reference
Good to know where my taxes went
That marijuana plant in the background looks like its doing quite well
@MagnesiumAlloy I never saw any M16's.
Im really intersted in being a police officer and becoming a swat member!!! Do you guys do job shodowing or ride alongs? :D

Well, the answer is yes, but you'll have to go into a police station and make your case. There has to be a valid reason.
you from canada?
Who are you asking? The people who comment on UA-cam videos?
fellow cape bretoner

rick mercer is the best, setphen colbart should get out more.
best thing ever would be if colbert and mercer joined in a joint training exercise with the canadian and americans armies, that would be great!
