[@shaunkirby273]

Been to church hill then got on a smaller plane n went to Eskimo Point to do a housing contract back in the 80s . Awesome adventure , will never forget it .

[@Momcat_maggiefelinefan]

My best friend lived in Churchill when he was around 9-10. Loved it. They keep all car doors unlocked in case the kids playing, or anyone else, was approached by a polar bear. And that was considered normal!

[@sadiecorning]

This week on the Mercer Report, a very special geust SNIFF! ME- I compeltly agree....

[@phantomkate6]

Miss this show already!

[@Diannalover]

Such awesome animals. Churchill is now officially a destination for the bucket list.

[@JoelCarli]

Who knew such a voracious creature could be so adorable?

[@hadi3199]

This polar bear place where rick went to its the best place to see polar bears in the world I'm glad I live in Canada

[@jeeholim0824]

Polar bears look so cute, almost looks like I could have on walking around in my home.

[@rohitjoshi6826]

lol that bear wanted an interview

[@mushysqueeze]

Imagine when he wakes up and it's like wtf happened!

[@swss12]

i just wanna hug it

[@mariposa9506]

It would like to hug you

[@10bears2]

Going to Katkovic (North of Fairbanks) to see them in September. ❤️ Can’t wait!

[@LordOfFreedom]

Damn I'd like to get that close to a Polar Bear... while in the buggy of course.

[@pseudopetrus]

I love Polar Bears, they love me as well, too eat!

[@arlingtonfilmfest]

Nice to see the polar bears...

[@TheParatrooper1980]

Wow!

[@jeveuxlesoleil]

Panda bears = look cuddlier, probably crankier. They are the most crotchety animals I have ever seen in my life.

[@guitarforlif]

best job ever

[@wandaborowy9400]

So cute and curious.

[@TornTech]

While Rick was petting the polar bear, the bear was probably wishing it could kill him

[@Drcragory]

The rick Mercer report, showing starving polar bears...how special

[@orlibloom4]

I'm from Manitoba but have never been to Churchill. I should do that soon!

[@hetfieldshoney]

@Izumka ... NOooo.... I feel bad for them too! I mean, I guess there's a need to get involved to some extent, and the ppl do seem to be as gentle as possible with them at least. But ...wow... those poor bears must be TERRIFIED to be rendered completely helpless & paralyzed, while being fully conscious & aware of everything happening to them! It must be the equivalent to a human being abducted & manhandled by aliens, then being returned home...requiring therapy for the rest of their life! Awww..

[@Chant88]

Amazing

[@Izumka]

Am I the only one who felt bad for those bears?

[@Njjrockstar]

Those bears are Backed

[@thevenetianharper924]

I actually think they come back because they know they'll get a free ride xD

[@CoolGuyCoolFly]

Loony Lyra A free high

[@seansky2721]

Rick Mercer was THE Best!

[@rustykrys888]

Company I work for runs trains up to Churchill. HBR

[@evelynlandry9814]

The Bears cheers 🥂

[@evelynlandry9814]

Rhum same line of thinking 💭

[@nickdawn3985]

Repeat offender lol, maybe he keeps coming back for the drugs :)

[@taylorslnorth]

I guess he had no comment!

[@Ian-pb6bs]

Hello Mr. Rikken

[@Msradiojay]

They look like my dog when he wants a belly rub. -MissRadioJay

[@Shandelar]

@Eggxpress ABSOLUTELY!

[@typhoon2minerva]

Did i see the bear is blinking?

[@themooddisorders]

@Meggs848 Polar bears are gigantic

[@lorribell9954]

So funny!

[@jwinger437]

so they just leave them there like that? kinda weird I thought they woulda at least flown around until they seen them wake up.

[@rustykrys888]

And we transport those tundra buggies by rail. Lol

[@BeakerInShortShorts]

I get that some people feel the bears have a right to be there but Churchill has been settled by humans since 1717. There is sooooo much landmass for all up there.

[@morganlast5498]

BeakerInShortShorts you're an idiot. The polar bears have been there for a million plus years. If there is no prey in that "land mass" because of over hunting and climate change, how the hell do you expect the animals to survive. Not too mention polar bears don't hunt land prey, they're ocean hunters. They use the ice to hunt. Your comment is a great display of your lack of intelligence.

[@phantomkate6]

Let's keep the great Canadian tradition of civility alive. Self-control is also a marker of intelligence!

[@Towndrunk26er]

phantomkate6 - So many things said with so few words, well done.

[@Freepepsi42]

Polar bears are fucking huge. Don't play around with the beast.

[@edralphy]

Don’t like the fact of a tundra hotel exists. Shouldn’t be only scientists allowed? I don’t know. Maybe these are the same bears making their way to the cities?

[@robertmoulds160]

Thankfully I was not here to neuter the male bears and shave bald spots on the bears so they never visit Churchill since they tell all the other bears they are not welcome. But it is so cruel so it should not be done any more than pulling out their teeth.

[@rps579]

omg too funny

[@Nevertoleave]

I'm think that one bear just likes to get high XP Fuck you couldn't pay me enough to get near a polar bear, or any other bear for that matter.

[@BtheBLU]

@janmadytay Don't start that

[@susandinardo9823]

should have left them food

[@maidmoira]

next horror movie, patented.

[@PSYCHOPATHsam]

@Eggxpress no

[@xowky4]

#Janmadytay pretty sure they meant whatever they want

[@BlueBlazer89]

god=fictional character in a fantasy novel

[@robertstevenson7122]

Rick Mercer , you are sickening, Why don’t you knock it off with these exploitive animal shows ?

[@truevelocity4262]

Seriously?

[@Denison935]

If you don't like it don't watch not to hard to figure out

[@Momcat_maggiefelinefan]

My best friend lived in Churchill when he was around 9-10. Loved it. They keep all car doors unlocked in case the kids playing, or anyone else, was approached by a polar bear. And that was considered normal!
