I've been a long haul trucker for 46 years, and as such I want to thank these people for my safety and open highways
Damn man, that is impressive! 46 years in one career, you must have seen a crazy amount of changes in how that business and technology works!
@@dorianlindberg1662 it's 48 closing in on 49 now. Still loving this career.
Yes, I have seen huge changes. A simple one to give is I use to leave with money in my pocket for 2 weeks of fuel, repairs, hotels, lumpers... one days of fuel today can cost more than the full two week expenses 48 years ago.
This is the most Merica thing I've seen done by Canadians.... Y'all keep on little bros up north.
Merica does it too but they can do it privately as a citizen
Yep, we are little lmao! Love the comment :)
UBIQUE
Yes, snow is indeed almost everywhere.
Have they ever smoked a moose with that cannon
Hey Larry you want some tender moose for supper
Well I dunno Jim where we gonna get the moose*Pauses and looks at one another......BOOM!!!!!
It would just be feet and a head left lol
@Andrew MacRae Mmmm some roasted lamb...
Hell of a climb to get it though!
2:00 I thought she was about to snort that
That's Canadian cocaine
Ikr lmfao that's great
LMFAO!
I am so glad i found this, that is impressive 100hrs a year!
Dream job here
Can't have avalanches if there's no mountain.
What a cool job
The War on Snow
The best defense is offense
105mm Howitzer. Nice.
Trail signage: "Stay on trail to preserve the mountain" Military: "Firing mortar in 3... 2... 1...
Pretty sure they blocked off routes at the time that were dangerous.
I got to see/hear them blast a pack off the mountains around Banff NP as a kid. It was impressive. :)
Now THAT'S COOL.
that video quality though...
why does this remind me of the humans warring against the gods?
1:58 that looked a bit suspicious.

Lmao they say sorry after every shot
Now I know what the Canadian military is used for
Fun Fact: The Canadian military was also used for brutal slaughtering in WWI. It ranged from raiding enemy trenches in the middle of the night and slaughtering the sick and injured along with everyone else, to burning down a village because some dude was sniped.
@@dinosaurus1172 Canadians do the same thing with the snow
@@dinosaurus1172 I think everyone did that in ww1 did that idk why u make it seem like Canada does it the most when Canada obviously was one of the least counties that have committed war crimes. Fun fact: DinoBryson is mad that Canada did some war crimes
@@0zp343 fun fact he was just pointing something out and you need an English lesson “one of the least countries” that might just be me though as it is like 2am
@@dinosaurus1172 Yup, sounds like ww1 alright. Everyone was to blame. The question of the day is why did Countries that were not there fight as well??
I Think it was to stop imperialism. It certainly worked!
The plus side was that after the war the rest of the empires collapsed as well.
Car salesman: 1:37. Like if u agree
This baby can fit so much snow...
NFS the Run
I hope they have reconned the area before they shot those rounds 🙃
There is no doubt, they’re not gunna go like “Hey there might be a couple hikers up there. Too bad for them we’re shooting now”
Coe Trot I read that in a stereotypical Canadian accent and it made it a hell of a lot funnier
Hey look all the Trump style cultist's are commenting. I knew when i scrolled down there would be at least some nut commenting on a video that has nothing to do with politics.
Calm down there sparky.....there's literally just one person, probably just a troll anyway.
He was right though. No Russian collusion...
Cool :)
more shelling less talking
Canadian Rockies "Please don't hurt me!"
Won't using Artillery for Avalanche Control hurt the Bunnies and the Trees? 🤔
Bunnies yes, trees not so much.
This is the new role of our once proud forces. we need to better fund our forces and let them do there jobs. please support our troops.
Hey political cultist Kat , this has been going on for like a hundred years in some areas of Canada.
so do u want rogers pass or not
The troops are supported, albeit a lack of funds here and there. That is what makes our forces great though! Canadian forces engineers and officers are well trained and equipped to retrofit older tech into modern top of the line systems!
How is there snow? The World is supposed to be over heated.
Well that’s Canada for you, even in the southern-most city of Canada where I live, winters get pretty brutal.
Although summers get pretty hot.
I hope you're joking. If the Earth was so hot that there was no snow in Canada, most warmer countries would be toast.
@@sitofak It was a joke aimed at Earth Worshipping Global Warming fruitcakes.

@@paperwoman839 Yeah we're all supposed to not believe in One God but only one science right?
this is why they have no time to defend its border?
From what? The Americans wanting to flee?
