I would go a step further and literally just say the obvious, Canadians are Britons members of the former British Empire and like India, New Zealand, Malaysia have British traditions in uniform, doctrine and tradition. It is not a stolen thing at all, They are Britons and much as Canadians and their bueatiful culture in an extension of our large family.

[@Strelnikov403]

It's customary for the band at changeover ceremonies to play a song for show, rather than as a march to keep troops in step. In this case, I guess the band chose to play Preussens Gloria. The RCAF played the Game of Thrones theme when they guarded the Queen in London earlier this year.

[@currencytrader3917]

Very nice, this would be cool to see in person.

[@FooFahFoeFum]

The bearskin head gear should hide the Guardsmen's eyes. If not, it is because there superiors Efed up at sizing. A very good drill considering that 95% of these people are summer college students. The guys with medals must be regular enlisted troops. Please be aware that this drill is allot more difficult than what the Guards do at buckingham palace. Weapons movements are paused a bit longer, which is more difficult than the British guards do. Also, marching on grass is more challenging than crushed stones or concrete. It is easier on a hard surface when you can hear cues of others beside you marching. Also, These students/troops are shoulder to shoulder, while the drill at the queens palace in london is 2 feet apart. in the early 1940's Winston Churchill said ..."we need American equipment, British officers and Canadian troops." ... He was correct regarding Canadian troops. I can say they kick ass with little recognition.

[@alvindurochermtl]

And why is it necessary for such long regulation pauses in those on the spot movements. It honestly makes all the movements look more sleepy and lack sharpness.

[@fire5736]

It's also worthy to note that the Canadian Governor General's Foot Guards have the plume in the left of the bearskin whereas the Coldstream guards have it in the right of the bearskin.

[@aquillandscroll6428]

The Canadian ‘ceremonial’ guard aren’t just ceremonial. Much like their British Foot guards counterparts (who people know as the queens guard) they are deployed often to warzones. Also in a sense the Canadian Guards are still the Guards of the Queen as she is not only the Queen of the United Kingdom but also the Queen of the 13 commonwealth realms which Include Canada and Australia. All the militaries of the commonwealth pledge to the Queen when they get enlisted, hence why there’s the Royal Canadian Army and Royal Australian army. Though in Canada the Canadian footguards protect the Governor General who acts as a representative for the Queen as she cannot be in 13 countries at the same time.

Yes I was surprised by that as well. In the UK that wouldn't usually happen, though it must be said that before taking part in the Lord Mayor's Show, when the Household Cavalry get up on their horses, they often put their helmets on after that. In the UK, guardsmen and bandsmen/women would usually march out already in formation. Another thing that I find quite surprising here is the position of their rifles when they stand at ease, you don't see that in the UK. I like the idea of roping off the guards from members of the public. At Horseguards in London, troopers on guard duty on foot as well as on horseback are being increasingly messed around by tourists, even those who are standing behind a chain under the arches. They've had to put up something similar in front of the guard room at Windsor Castle. Canadian guardsmen have in fact mounted the guard at Buckingham Palace and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have similarly taken on guard duty at Horseguards. One last remark, I'm not sure about it but do I hear some of the orders being given in French ?

they were same was the UK guards

[@chriswilliams7480]

Every bit as good as the Queens Guards at Buckingham Palace

[@terrymo8240]

+Chris Williams Sorry to disagree, but they are not a patch on the Household Division. I am a former Scots Guardsman and I can tell you they would be getting a right good bollocking from a Guards Drill Sergeant for not driving their heels in while marching. They are still a decent looking spectacle though.

[@samuelscarisbrick6189]

Exactly and they don't slide forward a tad like they do on Horse guards when Trooping the Colour, now thats driving the heels in haha!

[@samuelscarisbrick6189]

You also wouldn't catch them standing around in view of the General Public

Ottawa and across Canada have much beauty, someday I'll know that beautiful city. And it's not a compliment, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's".

[@aquillandscroll6428]

@@coledavis5212 Nope Prussian Glory was inherited from British army who got it from the Prussians. And the British and Prussians did have a good relationship seeing as they fought with us in waterloo and against Napoleon.

The bagpipers are from nova Scotia probably. Nova Scotia means new Scotland

[@juucedasf9972]

Ryan Dube they're not from nova Scotia the reason being if you look at the cap brass on their glengarys you will see that it's not a stag (which is the coat of arms for the 78th highlanders and the seaforth highlanders)

[@lolaofalllola]

Could be from any highland regiment

[@coledavis5212]

Guardsmen Wilhelm, Ragnarok heavy dragoons There is more highlanders in Canada then just Nova Scotia...

[@alvindurochermtl]

Pipers and Drummers of the Ceremonial Guards are drawn from Scots and Irish regiments across Canada. You see them in the same uniform instead of their own regimental kit only as a matter of ceremonial uniformality.

@@coledavis5212 this comment was made 3 years ago when I was ignorant of such things, and thus I sincerely apologize. Now I'm in the Montreal blackwatch cadet corps learning pipes. I know now that there are 16-17 highlander regiments if I remember well. Once again, apologies for my ignorance
