I'm 3/4 Canadian, with flashlights, and am also a black belt (your basic triple threat). I'm scary without the flashlights. I wonder if those Canadians were wearing hockey masks with blood on their shirts? That might justify the fear people had. I wouldn't worry about a Canadian with a flashlight, but I wouldn't want to mess with one of their hockey players. Their hockey resembles angry football players tackling people on something as hard as concrete, practicing karate with blades on their feet, while hitting people with sticks, and knocking out teeth. That's something that justifies fear.
