Tell us a little bit about
00:01:06.90\00:01:07.83
Panashooter Films.
00:01:07.83\00:01:09.53
>> Panashooter Films...
00:01:09.53\00:01:10.47
You know what?
00:01:10.47\00:01:11.57
I don't know how I--
00:01:11.57\00:01:13.40
I didn't look for the name.
00:01:13.40\00:01:14.84
I'm from Panama...
00:01:14.84\00:01:15.70
>> OK.
00:01:15.70\00:01:16.74
>> And so when you film you
00:01:16.74\00:01:18.21
shoot films so Panashooter is
00:01:18.21\00:01:20.31
like, hey that's easy,
00:01:20.31\00:01:21.68
I'm tired, I'm gonna go with
00:01:21.68\00:01:22.81
that one.
00:01:22.81\00:01:23.81
And kind of like, I liked it.
00:01:23.81\00:01:24.91
>> I like it.
00:01:24.91\00:01:25.78
>> Yes, yes...
00:01:25.78\00:01:26.78
>> I like it, pretty cool.
00:01:26.78\00:01:27.68
>> So, Otto, you are born in
00:01:27.68\00:01:30.32
Panama...
00:01:30.32\00:01:31.12
>> Yes.
00:01:31.12\00:01:32.15
>> in Central America,
00:01:32.15\00:01:33.36
so can you take us back a
00:01:33.36\00:01:35.52
little bit to your earlier
00:01:35.52\00:01:37.16
years in growing up and tell
00:01:37.16\00:01:39.03
us what they were like?
00:01:39.03\00:01:40.20
>> Yes, of course.
00:01:40.20\00:01:41.60
It was great.
00:01:41.60\00:01:44.40
The city I was born in is
00:01:44.40\00:01:46.07
about fifty kilometres away
00:01:46.07\00:01:48.20
from the border with
00:01:48.20\00:01:49.50
Costa Rica
00:01:49.50\00:01:51.01
and...
00:01:51.01\00:01:54.04
we had Grandpa and Grandma and
00:01:54.04\00:01:57.01
there was the countryside and
00:01:57.01\00:01:58.75
so I grew up
00:01:58.75\00:02:00.58
climbing trees, riding horses,
00:02:00.58\00:02:02.58
playing with baby cows...
00:02:02.58\00:02:04.99
>> So, Otto, can you tell why
00:02:04.99\00:02:06.96
you had to leave Panama
00:02:06.96\00:02:08.82
and how you ended up
00:02:08.82\00:02:10.16
coming to Canada?
00:02:10.16\00:02:12.13
>> That's a story!
00:02:12.13\00:02:14.10
Yeah, to put it in a few
00:02:14.10\00:02:15.73
phrases, I experienced
00:02:15.73\00:02:20.17
political persecution during
00:02:20.17\00:02:22.70
the dictatorship of
00:02:22.70\00:02:25.04
Manuel Noriega and so I--
00:02:25.04\00:02:29.21
at the time, Canada was
00:02:29.21\00:02:31.11
allowing applicants from
00:02:31.11\00:02:34.58
Panama to apply as
00:02:34.58\00:02:37.15
political refugees and so
00:02:37.15\00:02:41.76
that's how I ended up here.
00:02:41.76\00:02:43.53
It wasn't really my intent to
00:02:43.53\00:02:46.49
do that and probably if that
00:02:46.49\00:02:48.03
hadn't happened I would have
00:02:48.03\00:02:49.26
never come to Canada.
00:02:49.26\00:02:50.70
Yeah.
00:02:50.70\00:02:51.67
>> So you-- I know the
00:02:51.67\00:02:54.27
Canadian Armed Forces was a
00:02:54.27\00:02:55.40
big part of your life.
00:02:55.40\00:02:56.50
>> Yes.
00:02:56.50\00:02:57.64
>> Why did you join?
00:02:57.64\00:02:59.01
>> As a little kid, I would
00:02:59.01\00:03:01.34
sit down for hours and look at
00:03:01.34\00:03:03.14
these encyclopedias with black
00:03:03.14\00:03:05.75
and white pictures and
00:03:05.75\00:03:08.15
look at maps of the world and,
00:03:08.15\00:03:10.75
you know, I would just--
00:03:10.75\00:03:12.19
for whatever reason,
00:03:12.19\00:03:13.19
I was mesmerized by
00:03:13.19\00:03:15.79
the Peace Keepers,
00:03:15.79\00:03:17.09
the Canadian Peace Keepers in
00:03:17.09\00:03:18.83
Cypress and other places in
00:03:18.83\00:03:20.70
the world, right?
00:03:20.70\00:03:21.96
And that was such a cool thing
00:03:21.96\00:03:25.27
what they were doing and
00:03:25.27\00:03:27.44
I just had, you know--
00:03:27.44\00:03:28.54
Kid's thought,
00:03:28.54\00:03:29.67
"I wanna be an astronaut."
00:03:29.67\00:03:30.77
Well, for me it was, "Hey!"
00:03:30.77\00:03:31.94
"That would be cool to be a"
00:03:31.94\00:03:32.97
"Canadian Peace Keeper."
00:03:32.97\00:03:34.41
>> Oh! And you were in Panama
00:03:34.41\00:03:35.61
at the time.
00:03:35.61\00:03:36.85
>> Yeah, I was a little kid.
00:03:36.85\00:03:37.58
Yeah.
00:03:37.58\00:03:38.71
>> And you ended up becoming a
00:03:38.71\00:03:39.85
Canadian Peace Keeper.
00:03:39.85\00:03:40.75
>> I had no idea, yeah,
00:03:40.75\00:03:41.88
that's right, yeah.
00:03:41.88\00:03:43.28
>> So when we talk about your
00:03:43.28\00:03:45.65
experience of war, we're
00:03:45.65\00:03:47.26
talking about something that's
00:03:47.26\00:03:48.46
really difficult for you to
00:03:48.46\00:03:49.42
talk about.
00:03:49.42\00:03:50.76
I mean it's affecting you in a
00:03:50.76\00:03:51.56
big way, right?
00:03:51.56\00:03:52.43
>> Yes, yes.
00:03:52.43\00:03:54.00
You get exposed to a variety
00:03:54.00\00:03:56.06
of things that have happened
00:03:56.06\00:03:59.17
or that happened to you.
00:03:59.17\00:04:01.77
Just an example of that,
00:04:01.77\00:04:05.21
I was part of a unit
00:04:05.21\00:04:07.54
investigating any kind of
00:04:07.54\00:04:10.58
intelligence piece that would
00:04:10.58\00:04:12.88
lead us to solve any kind of
00:04:12.88\00:04:15.95
war crime that would have
00:04:15.95\00:04:17.69
happened in the conflict.
00:04:17.69\00:04:19.09
>> Before we talk about that
00:04:19.09\00:04:20.59
and get into any more detail
00:04:20.59\00:04:21.72
about that, I know that
00:04:21.72\00:04:24.13
you're very much into fitness
00:04:24.13\00:04:25.33
and health.
00:04:25.33\00:04:26.73
I wanna introduce you to our
00:04:26.73\00:04:28.13
kitchen...
00:04:28.13\00:04:29.06
>> Oh, OK!
00:04:29.06\00:04:30.27
>> Which is a healthy eating
00:04:30.27\00:04:31.53
experience and experiencing
00:04:31.53\00:04:32.60
life in the kitchen.
00:04:32.60\00:04:33.94
So what kind of recipes did
00:04:33.94\00:04:35.84
you-- I mean, what kind of
00:04:35.84\00:04:37.37
food did you like to eat at
00:04:37.37\00:04:38.27
that time?
00:04:38.27\00:04:39.67
What were the types of things
00:04:39.67\00:04:40.48
to keep you healthy?
00:04:40.48\00:04:41.74
>> Well, I was and I still am
00:04:41.74\00:04:43.38
a big fan of green shakes
00:04:43.38\00:04:46.08
and smoothies.
00:04:46.08\00:04:48.62
Not the sugary smoothies that
00:04:48.62\00:04:50.45
you can buy in certain places,
00:04:50.45\00:04:52.82
but the ones that are natural,
00:04:52.82\00:04:54.86
made from scratch,
00:04:54.86\00:04:56.29
no added this or added that.
00:04:56.29\00:04:57.89
So yeah, those are like
00:04:57.89\00:04:59.19
really awesome.
00:04:59.19\00:05:00.93
>> It's a lot of work to make
00:05:00.93\00:05:02.26
them, but it's so worth it.
00:05:02.26\00:05:03.30
>> It is!
00:05:03.30\00:05:04.27
We're gonna teach you how to
00:05:04.27\00:05:05.50
do that and we're gonna teach
00:05:05.50\00:05:07.00
our guests so-- our viewers
00:05:07.00\00:05:09.40
and Bev in the kitchen, she's
00:05:09.40\00:05:12.01
going to show us how to make
00:05:12.01\00:05:13.31
green smoothies then we'll be
00:05:13.31\00:05:14.31
right back with Otto Castillo.
00:05:14.31\00:05:16.68
>> Hi, everyone!
00:05:16.68\00:05:18.11
I'm Bev and today
00:05:18.11\00:05:19.15
we're experiencing life
00:05:19.15\00:05:20.85
in the kitchen.
00:05:20.85\00:05:22.68
One of the very best things
00:05:22.68\00:05:24.49
you can do for your health
00:05:24.49\00:05:26.15
is to eat more greens
00:05:26.15\00:05:28.59
and a really easy way to
00:05:28.59\00:05:30.69
accomplish that is to actually
00:05:30.69\00:05:32.59
drink your greens.
00:05:32.59\00:05:35.03
Green smoothies are excellent
00:05:35.03\00:05:37.50
powerhouses of nutrition,
00:05:37.50\00:05:39.30
packing a wallop of vitamins,
00:05:39.30\00:05:40.84
minerals, and protein.
00:05:40.84\00:05:43.34
Yes, protein in those greens!
00:05:43.34\00:05:46.74
While fruits are cleansing for
00:05:46.74\00:05:48.61
our bodies, greens are
00:05:48.61\00:05:50.78
healing for our bodies.
00:05:50.78\00:05:53.21
And so today, we're going to
00:05:53.21\00:05:55.62
be making a summer-licious,
00:05:55.62\00:05:57.45
green smoothie, packed with
00:05:57.45\00:05:59.72
great fruits and some spinach.
00:05:59.72\00:06:02.76
We're gonna be using grapes,
00:06:02.76\00:06:05.63
we're gonna be using oranges.
00:06:05.63\00:06:07.83
Of course oranges are
00:06:07.83\00:06:09.13
fantastic for vitamin C
00:06:09.13\00:06:11.13
and fibre.
00:06:11.13\00:06:12.80
We've got wonderful sweet pear
00:06:12.80\00:06:15.30
here, lots of fibre, vitamins,
00:06:15.30\00:06:17.47
and minerals in that.
00:06:17.47\00:06:19.04
We're using a banana, tons of
00:06:19.04\00:06:21.51
potassium in this banana.
00:06:21.51\00:06:24.45
And I'm gonna be using spinach
00:06:24.45\00:06:26.68
as my green for today.
00:06:26.68\00:06:29.42
And, of course, we're gonna
00:06:29.42\00:06:30.52
use some water
00:06:30.52\00:06:31.75
and we all know water's
00:06:31.75\00:06:32.85
benefits for us.
00:06:32.85\00:06:34.22
Water is fantastic for our
00:06:34.22\00:06:35.99
good health.
00:06:35.99\00:06:37.63
Now, we are using a Vitamix
00:06:37.63\00:06:39.76
blender today.
00:06:39.76\00:06:41.43
We wanna use a high-speed
00:06:41.43\00:06:43.20
blender, so I recommend the
00:06:43.20\00:06:45.27
Vitamix or a Blendtec or one
00:06:45.27\00:06:47.70
of the really high-speed
00:06:47.70\00:06:49.07
Ninjas would do it.
00:06:49.07\00:06:50.74
But you know what?
00:06:50.74\00:06:52.31
I find that my Vitamix is just
00:06:52.31\00:06:54.58
perfect for the job.
00:06:54.58\00:06:56.75
So I'm gonna put the water in
00:06:56.75\00:06:58.71
first, just to get that base
00:06:58.71\00:07:00.95
happening, about a cup of
00:07:00.95\00:07:02.78
water, maybe not quite so much
00:07:02.78\00:07:06.02
because the fruits have a lot
00:07:06.02\00:07:07.46
of water in them.
00:07:07.46\00:07:08.76
We don't want it too watery.
00:07:08.76\00:07:10.56
Then I'm gonna put in
00:07:10.56\00:07:11.86
some grapes.
00:07:11.86\00:07:13.13
Here's these wonderful
00:07:13.13\00:07:14.36
red grapes
00:07:14.36\00:07:16.50
that have so much
00:07:16.50\00:07:18.87
antioxidant activity
00:07:18.87\00:07:20.17
happening in them.
00:07:20.17\00:07:21.64
And just a handful
00:07:21.64\00:07:23.44
depending on how sweet
00:07:23.44\00:07:24.47
you want it.
00:07:24.47\00:07:26.68
OK, let's put in our orange.
00:07:26.68\00:07:30.48
And the really nice thing
00:07:30.48\00:07:31.78
about the Vitamix blender is
00:07:31.78\00:07:34.02
that because it's so
00:07:34.02\00:07:35.65
high-speed, I don't have to
00:07:35.65\00:07:36.62
chunk these up too much
00:07:36.62\00:07:38.39
so I can put nice, big chunks
00:07:38.39\00:07:39.89
in there.
00:07:39.89\00:07:41.06
Next goes our pear.
00:07:41.06\00:07:43.29
This is gonna be so
00:07:43.29\00:07:44.46
yummy-licious!
00:07:44.46\00:07:46.06
And then we've got our banana
00:07:48.13\00:07:50.33
with all that good
00:07:50.33\00:07:51.57
potassium happening.
00:07:51.57\00:07:54.40
And then we've got this
00:07:54.40\00:07:56.77
gorgeous spinach.
00:07:56.77\00:07:58.24
Now when you buy your spinach,
00:07:58.24\00:08:00.31
sometimes the package will say
00:08:00.31\00:08:01.88
that it's triple washed,
00:08:01.88\00:08:03.14
I like to wash it again
00:08:03.14\00:08:05.45
just to be really careful,
00:08:05.45\00:08:07.48
just to be careful with my
00:08:07.48\00:08:08.98
family's health.
00:08:08.98\00:08:10.59
So I'm putting a whole bunch
00:08:10.59\00:08:12.72
of stuff in there.
00:08:12.72\00:08:13.92
It's got the water at the
00:08:13.92\00:08:15.02
bottom so that's gonna get it
00:08:15.02\00:08:15.96
started nice and easy.
00:08:15.96\00:08:17.96
I will put more greens in
00:08:17.96\00:08:19.39
after, but already it's
00:08:19.39\00:08:20.70
stacked up so high.
00:08:20.70\00:08:22.56
So I've got everything in the
00:08:22.56\00:08:24.20
blender, it's good to go.
00:08:24.20\00:08:25.43
Doesn't it look gorgeous?
00:08:25.43\00:08:26.84
All these beautiful colours.
00:08:26.84\00:08:28.00
And now we're gonna start
00:08:28.00\00:08:29.04
our Vitamix.
00:08:29.04\00:08:30.57
The Vitamix will make a little
00:08:30.57\00:08:31.81
bit of noise, so here we go.
00:08:31.81\00:08:33.61
[blender whirring]
00:08:33.61\00:08:44.29
OK, so actually what I'm gonna
00:08:44.29\00:08:45.82
do now, since I've got some of
00:08:45.82\00:08:47.16
it already blended,
00:08:47.16\00:08:48.19
I can push down
00:08:48.19\00:08:51.03
this and add more of my greens
00:08:51.03\00:08:54.10
because we want a good wallop
00:08:54.10\00:08:56.77
of greens in our smoothie.
00:08:56.77\00:08:59.17
[blender whirring]
00:09:01.34\00:09:08.24
And here we have our
00:09:08.24\00:09:10.18
finished smoothie.
00:09:10.18\00:09:11.65
And of course whenever you're
00:09:11.65\00:09:12.71
having a smoothie,
00:09:12.71\00:09:14.55
you simply must have it in
00:09:14.55\00:09:18.22
a gorgeous glass.
00:09:18.22\00:09:19.89
And I'm gonna taste this
00:09:19.89\00:09:21.49
just to make sure.
00:09:21.49\00:09:23.46
Oh, yeah!
00:09:25.53\00:09:26.56
That's good.
00:09:26.56\00:09:27.86
The really neat thing about
00:09:27.86\00:09:29.40
green smoothies,
00:09:29.40\00:09:30.83
those greens are so fantastic
00:09:30.83\00:09:32.13
for our bodies.
00:09:32.13\00:09:34.34
They're gonna help to cleanse
00:09:34.34\00:09:36.94
your blood, to make your blood
00:09:36.94\00:09:38.31
more alkaline and we want more
00:09:38.31\00:09:39.84
alkaline blood
00:09:39.84\00:09:40.98
rather than acidic.
00:09:40.98\00:09:42.34
This is going to promote
00:09:42.34\00:09:43.88
clearer skin,
00:09:43.88\00:09:45.18
better eye sight.
00:09:45.18\00:09:46.65
It's gonna reduce inflammation
00:09:46.65\00:09:48.08
in your body.
00:09:48.08\00:09:49.48
So many amazing things
00:09:49.48\00:09:51.89
that eating greens
00:09:51.89\00:09:53.46
is gonna do for you.
00:09:53.46\00:09:54.79
So eat 'em up, eat 'em up.
00:09:54.79\00:09:57.03
Well, drink 'em up.
00:09:57.03\00:09:58.66
Enjoy this in good health.
00:09:58.66\00:10:00.90
>> I absolutely love green
00:10:03.80\00:10:05.67
smoothies and thank you, Bev,
00:10:05.67\00:10:08.57
for sharing that wonderful
00:10:08.57\00:10:10.34
recipe with us.
00:10:10.34\00:10:11.87
We're talking to Otto Castillo
00:10:11.87\00:10:14.88
and Otto, you were sharing
00:10:14.88\00:10:16.44
with us before Bev showed us
00:10:16.44\00:10:18.45
how to make that green
00:10:18.45\00:10:19.58
smoothie, that you love
00:10:19.58\00:10:20.55
green smoothies.
00:10:20.55\00:10:21.82
>> Yes, I do and that recipe
00:10:21.82\00:10:23.75
actually sounds quite awesome.
00:10:23.75\00:10:25.92
>> It does.
00:10:25.92\00:10:26.86
And it's not so hard.
00:10:26.86\00:10:28.12
I mean, you just throw the
00:10:28.12\00:10:28.96
stuff in the blender and
00:10:28.96\00:10:30.59
let it do its thing, right?
00:10:30.59\00:10:31.59
And then you just drink it.
00:10:31.59\00:10:32.63
So it's just taking
00:10:32.63\00:10:33.66
the time, really.
00:10:33.66\00:10:34.83
And so, tell me--
00:10:34.83\00:10:37.13
What was the best part of the
00:10:37.13\00:10:38.47
military for you?
00:10:38.47\00:10:39.47
You were in the
00:10:39.47\00:10:40.60
Canadian Armed Forces.
00:10:40.60\00:10:41.60
What did you like the most
00:10:41.60\00:10:42.64
about it?
00:10:42.64\00:10:43.64
>> Um...
00:10:43.64\00:10:45.91
Well, as we were already
00:10:45.91\00:10:49.18
mentioning, the fitness aspect
00:10:49.18\00:10:51.18
was really high for me
00:10:51.18\00:10:52.58
on the list
00:10:52.58\00:10:53.78
and then the second one,
00:10:53.78\00:10:55.02
I think, most of my former
00:10:55.02\00:10:58.65
mates and comrades will agree
00:10:58.65\00:11:00.79
with me, it is the camaraderie,
00:11:00.79\00:11:04.69
the Esprit de Corps,
00:11:04.69\00:11:07.10
the team atmosphere, right?
00:11:07.10\00:11:11.17
You are brought up as a team,
00:11:11.17\00:11:13.07
you always depend on each
00:11:13.07\00:11:15.30
other and the others depend on
00:11:15.30\00:11:16.97
you and so that's...
00:11:16.97\00:11:18.74
a very powerful glue.
00:11:18.74\00:11:19.94
>> Their very life
00:11:19.94\00:11:21.78
depends on you, yeah.
00:11:21.78\00:11:22.94
>> Yes, and vice versa.
00:11:22.94\00:11:24.85
>> Yeah, one of the things,
00:11:24.85\00:11:25.88
I think, that you really
00:11:25.88\00:11:26.95
enjoyed was biking.
00:11:26.95\00:11:28.28
I can see the bike in the
00:11:28.28\00:11:29.25
background there.
00:11:29.25\00:11:30.42
>> Yeah! My baby!
00:11:30.42\00:11:31.89
Yes, yes, I thoroughly enjoyed
00:11:31.89\00:11:35.89
long rides or short fast-paced
00:11:35.89\00:11:39.36
rides, climbing, descending...
00:11:39.36\00:11:42.50
mostly road bikes, umm...
00:11:42.50\00:11:45.27
And it--
00:11:45.27\00:11:48.07
Up until injuries,
00:11:48.07\00:11:50.51
service-related injuries have
00:11:50.51\00:11:52.41
prevented me from fully
00:11:52.41\00:11:55.34
enjoying the sport.
00:11:55.34\00:11:57.48
I'm still in love with it
00:11:57.48\00:11:59.01
and I will always be
00:11:59.01\00:12:00.22
in love with it.
00:12:00.22\00:12:01.35
Yeah, it's--
00:12:01.35\00:12:04.02
Cycling is a very therapeutic
00:12:04.02\00:12:08.19
tool, it's very healing.
00:12:08.19\00:12:09.69
You're sitting there and
00:12:09.69\00:12:11.56
you're thinking about things,
00:12:11.56\00:12:13.03
and processing things and when
00:12:13.03\00:12:14.63
you come back home, it's like
00:12:14.63\00:12:16.13
you're tired, but it's--
00:12:16.13\00:12:17.80
you're lighter.
00:12:17.80\00:12:19.13
>> Yeah, yeah.
00:12:19.13\00:12:21.14
>> So, Otto, can you tell us
00:12:21.14\00:12:22.40
how your time in the
00:12:22.40\00:12:24.41
Armed Forces, in the
00:12:24.41\00:12:25.87
Reconnaissance Regiment,
00:12:25.87\00:12:27.84
affected your family life
00:12:27.84\00:12:29.64
and your personal life?
00:12:29.64\00:12:32.28
>> Yes, that's a very
00:12:32.28\00:12:33.55
common thing.
00:12:33.55\00:12:35.92
Not so much when you don't
00:12:35.92\00:12:37.52
deploy, but when you deploy
00:12:37.52\00:12:40.52
or you have to go for the
00:12:40.52\00:12:42.89
summer on a task and teach
00:12:42.89\00:12:44.93
somewhere for three or four
00:12:44.93\00:12:46.26
months and you're not home,
00:12:46.26\00:12:47.96
then obviously,
00:12:47.96\00:12:49.16
it's inevitable that there
00:12:49.16\00:12:50.43
will be...
00:12:50.43\00:12:54.20
disruptions in the
00:12:54.20\00:12:55.34
family life.
00:12:55.34\00:12:56.87
For example, you're not there
00:12:56.87\00:13:00.18
when your child or your
00:13:00.18\00:13:02.94
children get sick and they
00:13:02.94\00:13:05.41
need to be taken to
00:13:05.41\00:13:06.41
the hospital,
00:13:06.41\00:13:07.72
you're not there when the roof
00:13:07.72\00:13:09.08
starts leaking,
00:13:09.08\00:13:10.92
you're not there when there is
00:13:10.92\00:13:12.35
an issue with the car and
00:13:12.35\00:13:15.22
yes, you're out there doing a
00:13:15.22\00:13:17.16
very important job, but it's
00:13:17.16\00:13:19.66
just as important holding the
00:13:19.66\00:13:21.90
fort back home and that many
00:13:21.90\00:13:24.13
times places, inevitably,
00:13:24.13\00:13:26.03
strain on relationships
00:13:26.03\00:13:28.80
to the point that for some
00:13:28.80\00:13:33.04
traits that require people to
00:13:33.04\00:13:35.04
be away for long periods
00:13:35.04\00:13:36.01
of time,
00:13:36.01\00:13:37.85
the rate of divorces in the
00:13:37.85\00:13:39.58
forces is fairly high.
00:13:39.58\00:13:41.02
Yeah.
00:13:41.02\00:13:42.78
>> That makes sense.
00:13:42.78\00:13:44.32
>> And personally,
00:13:44.32\00:13:46.25
how did it affect you?
00:13:46.25\00:13:48.39
You know, did you experience
00:13:48.39\00:13:50.49
any kind of trauma going off
00:13:50.49\00:13:52.43
in these combat situations.
00:13:52.43\00:13:54.63
>> Yes, that's
00:13:54.63\00:13:56.63
actually a good point.
00:13:56.63\00:13:58.60
When you're conducting what we
00:13:58.60\00:14:01.67
call pre-deployment training,
00:14:01.67\00:14:03.47
and even if you're not
00:14:03.47\00:14:04.94
deploying, you get these
00:14:04.94\00:14:06.94
lectures and you get these
00:14:06.94\00:14:09.11
specialists coming and talking
00:14:09.11\00:14:10.51
to you saying, well, if and
00:14:10.51\00:14:14.72
when you get exposed to
00:14:14.72\00:14:16.75
X or Y...
00:14:16.75\00:14:18.79
domestically or abroad,
00:14:21.46\00:14:24.13
then chances are that
00:14:24.13\00:14:26.43
your brain will react this
00:14:26.43\00:14:27.56
way or that way,
00:14:27.56\00:14:28.96
you could develop what,
00:14:28.96\00:14:29.93
you know...
00:14:29.93\00:14:32.40
what some people call PTSD.
00:14:32.40\00:14:34.60
Or maybe just maybe
00:14:34.60\00:14:36.27
depression, or just maybe
00:14:36.27\00:14:37.71
anxiety, and a whole bunch of
00:14:37.71\00:14:38.74
things can come up to
00:14:38.74\00:14:39.81
the surface and not
00:14:39.81\00:14:40.71
necessarily right away.
00:14:40.71\00:14:41.98
>> So you were told this in
00:14:41.98\00:14:42.81
the training.
00:14:42.81\00:14:43.48
>> Yes.
00:14:43.48\00:14:44.75
>> What did you think of that?
00:14:44.75\00:14:45.65
>> You are told that in
00:14:45.65\00:14:46.75
pre-deployment training very
00:14:46.75\00:14:47.75
clearly and nowadays it's even
00:14:47.75\00:14:49.62
part of your, what we call on
00:14:49.62\00:14:52.22
the street, boot camp or basic
00:14:52.22\00:14:53.86
training as well.
00:14:53.86\00:14:55.19
So from that point on, people
00:14:55.19\00:14:56.69
are made aware of that, but
00:14:56.69\00:14:58.16
personally I--
00:14:58.16\00:15:00.66
back in the day I was feeling
00:15:00.66\00:15:04.43
too much on top of the world.
00:15:04.43\00:15:06.50
I was super fit, I was...
00:15:06.50\00:15:10.24
enjoying my trade and anything
00:15:10.24\00:15:12.57
related to it.
00:15:12.57\00:15:13.84
And I thought, oh--
00:15:13.84\00:15:15.81
I carelessly dismissed it.
00:15:15.81\00:15:18.45
I was like, "Oh, that's for"
00:15:18.45\00:15:19.71
"people who are weak-minded."
00:15:19.71\00:15:22.52
"That's not me."
00:15:22.52\00:15:24.49
"That's not really me."
00:15:24.49\00:15:25.79
And well...
00:15:25.79\00:15:28.22
And I saw some comrades
00:15:28.22\00:15:30.99
in arms go through it.
00:15:30.99\00:15:33.63
Some of them years after they
00:15:33.63\00:15:35.40
were exposed to,
00:15:35.40\00:15:37.07
whatever they were exposed to
00:15:37.07\00:15:37.93
and then it just
00:15:37.93\00:15:39.17
came out of nowhere.
00:15:39.17\00:15:40.57
Um, so...
00:15:40.57\00:15:44.37
You end up with these
00:15:44.37\00:15:46.31
situations, for example in the
00:15:46.31\00:15:48.44
case of the PTSD, I really
00:15:48.44\00:15:50.25
like this ex-U.S. Marine guy
00:15:50.25\00:15:54.18
that he has it and then he has
00:15:54.18\00:15:58.52
this organization, non-profit,
00:15:58.52\00:16:00.79
in which he tries to help a
00:16:00.79\00:16:02.56
lot of veterans through it,
00:16:02.56\00:16:05.59
but he doesn't call it PTSD
00:16:05.59\00:16:07.30
which stands for, as we know,
00:16:07.30\00:16:09.36
Post Traumatic
00:16:09.36\00:16:10.33
Stress Syndrome.
00:16:10.33\00:16:11.40
He calls it
00:16:11.40\00:16:12.47
Post Traumatic Stress.
00:16:12.47\00:16:14.90
He leaves-- PTS,
00:16:14.90\00:16:16.84
he leaves the syndrome behind
00:16:16.84\00:16:20.78
because he says it's not a
00:16:20.78\00:16:22.28
syndrome, it's--
00:16:22.28\00:16:24.81
It can happen to anyone.
00:16:24.81\00:16:26.88
So it's just stress-related
00:16:26.88\00:16:29.58
mental injury.
00:16:29.58\00:16:31.49
And so, you know, once you
00:16:31.49\00:16:33.82
have PTSD, due to whatever it
00:16:33.82\00:16:36.29
is that you were exposed to,
00:16:36.29\00:16:39.63
it'll never go away.
00:16:39.63\00:16:41.30
So from that point on,
00:16:41.30\00:16:42.73
you have to recognize that
00:16:42.73\00:16:44.97
you have it and you have to
00:16:44.97\00:16:47.00
really be willing to seek and
00:16:47.00\00:16:50.27
receive help and work hard at
00:16:50.27\00:16:52.74
trying to learn how to live
00:16:52.74\00:16:54.51
with it and still be somewhat
00:16:54.51\00:16:56.78
a useful member to society and
00:16:56.78\00:16:58.48
to, in my case,
00:16:58.48\00:16:59.81
my church, right?
00:16:59.81\00:17:01.38
And to people around me
00:17:01.38\00:17:03.12
instead of being--
00:17:03.12\00:17:05.12
dragging everybody around you
00:17:05.12\00:17:06.92
down, which can easily happen.
00:17:06.92\00:17:09.29
>> So when you were young and
00:17:09.29\00:17:12.56
you were new in the military,
00:17:12.56\00:17:14.56
you felt, "I'm invincible."
00:17:14.56\00:17:17.03
"This is never gonna happen"
00:17:17.03\00:17:18.17
"to me..." and...
00:17:18.17\00:17:19.47
>> That's for weak people.
00:17:19.47\00:17:20.77
>> It's for weak people.
00:17:20.77\00:17:21.57
>> Yeah.
00:17:21.57\00:17:22.57
Was I ever wrong.
00:17:22.57\00:17:23.27
>> Yeah.
00:17:23.27\00:17:24.31
So how did it hit you?
00:17:24.31\00:17:26.11
>> Little weird things.
00:17:26.11\00:17:28.71
Back from the Balkans,
00:17:28.71\00:17:30.71
back there in theatre,
00:17:30.71\00:17:32.18
the Military Police,
00:17:32.18\00:17:34.15
the Canadian Military Police,
00:17:34.15\00:17:35.55
they use a very specific model
00:17:35.55\00:17:36.99
of American-made vehicle,
00:17:36.99\00:17:39.99
four-door vehicle, white.
00:17:39.99\00:17:42.76
And then it didn't really
00:17:42.76\00:17:44.89
click for me right away,
00:17:44.89\00:17:46.70
but I felt-- I felt like...
00:17:46.70\00:17:50.40
flushing, like when you get
00:17:50.40\00:17:52.47
red in your face.
00:17:52.47\00:17:54.04
I felt like that every time I
00:17:54.04\00:17:55.60
would see back home, after
00:17:55.60\00:17:57.57
deployment, I would see that
00:17:57.57\00:17:58.77
type of car,
00:17:58.77\00:18:00.24
but it never crossed my mind
00:18:00.24\00:18:01.44
that, "Oh, that's because"
00:18:01.44\00:18:02.74
"this is the same car that--"
00:18:02.74\00:18:04.75
>> So it was an association.
00:18:04.75\00:18:06.05
>> Yeah, but I wasn't really--
00:18:06.05\00:18:07.88
>> Making the connection.
00:18:07.88\00:18:08.98
>> No, I wasn't really
00:18:08.98\00:18:09.68
connecting or putting
00:18:09.68\00:18:10.59
two and two together.
00:18:10.59\00:18:11.92
And then I would go and pick up
00:18:11.92\00:18:12.92
my daughter at
00:18:12.92\00:18:14.29
Deer Lake School,
00:18:14.29\00:18:15.82
she was in grade one,
00:18:15.82\00:18:18.39
and she'd be across the field,
00:18:18.39\00:18:21.66
totally at the end of the
00:18:21.66\00:18:22.66
sports field
00:18:22.66\00:18:23.77
and I had to actually--
00:18:23.77\00:18:25.63
the first time I started
00:18:25.63\00:18:26.94
walking on the grass
00:18:26.94\00:18:27.97
and I didn't--
00:18:27.97\00:18:29.07
I stopped and I couldn't go
00:18:29.07\00:18:30.47
forward and I had to actually
00:18:30.47\00:18:32.21
get a teacher to get her for
00:18:32.21\00:18:33.61
me because for so long
00:18:33.61\00:18:36.78
we were drilling in our heads,
00:18:36.78\00:18:37.98
like, in the area that you're
00:18:37.98\00:18:39.85
deploying guys it has one
00:18:39.85\00:18:41.52
of the highest concentrations
00:18:41.52\00:18:43.15
of unexploded mines and
00:18:43.15\00:18:45.19
ordinance in the world
00:18:45.19\00:18:46.86
and so wherever you go,
00:18:46.86\00:18:48.59
be mindful of this,
00:18:48.59\00:18:49.26
don't do this,
00:18:49.26\00:18:50.16
don't that, don't--
00:18:50.16\00:18:51.66
Only go through approved,
00:18:51.66\00:18:52.79
clear routes, etcetera.
00:18:52.79\00:18:54.76
And then don't ever walk
00:18:54.76\00:18:56.16
on grass.
00:18:56.16\00:18:57.33
And so little things, but
00:18:57.33\00:18:58.80
you know, I said, "OK."
00:18:58.80\00:19:00.04
"That's gonna come and pass."
00:19:00.04\00:19:01.10
And it did pass.
00:19:01.10\00:19:02.94
And these dreams that are so
00:19:02.94\00:19:06.24
over done by Hollywood in
00:19:06.24\00:19:07.61
which you wake up
00:19:07.61\00:19:08.68
covered in sweat.
00:19:08.68\00:19:10.35
Well, that happened to me,
00:19:10.35\00:19:11.55
but that did pass.
00:19:11.55\00:19:14.05
And things got
00:19:14.05\00:19:15.68
quiet for a while.
00:19:15.68\00:19:17.65
When I was going through,
00:19:17.65\00:19:22.92
just prior to being released,
00:19:22.92\00:19:24.79
going through the realization
00:19:24.79\00:19:27.30
with the help of the military
00:19:27.30\00:19:28.63
doctor about my hip injury and
00:19:28.63\00:19:30.30
that it wasn't going to get
00:19:30.30\00:19:31.47
any better and my lower back,
00:19:31.47\00:19:33.10
that it wasn't going to get
00:19:33.10\00:19:34.77
magically better and I was
00:19:34.77\00:19:36.77
gonna be released,
00:19:36.77\00:19:38.11
I think that
00:19:38.11\00:19:39.97
that was a catalyzer
00:19:39.97\00:19:42.18
and then these things really
00:19:42.18\00:19:43.91
hit me hard.
00:19:43.91\00:19:44.78
And...
00:19:44.78\00:19:47.42
there were some days and
00:19:47.42\00:19:50.62
I would lay on the couch in my
00:19:50.62\00:19:52.95
living room, blinds closed,
00:19:52.95\00:19:56.62
doors locked, windows locked,
00:19:56.62\00:20:00.16
TV off, not listening to
00:20:00.16\00:20:03.67
music, not reading a book,
00:20:03.67\00:20:04.77
just laying there,
00:20:04.77\00:20:06.90
not even wanting to eat.
00:20:06.90\00:20:09.07
And so that is a very slippery
00:20:09.07\00:20:10.51
slope and if you don't do
00:20:10.51\00:20:13.01
something about it, with a bit
00:20:13.01\00:20:15.88
of a sense of urgency,
00:20:15.88\00:20:18.08
sometimes that's a slope that
00:20:18.08\00:20:20.28
you cannot climb back out of.
00:20:20.28\00:20:21.45
Yeah.
00:20:21.45\00:20:22.72
>> What did you do?
00:20:22.72\00:20:24.32
[exhales]
00:20:24.32\00:20:26.12
>> Um...
00:20:26.12\00:20:27.36
Eventually, I realized my only
00:20:27.36\00:20:33.09
wise choice would be to seek
00:20:33.09\00:20:35.90
help and to try to work on it.
00:20:35.90\00:20:38.80
And I also was reminded,
00:20:38.80\00:20:43.07
first lovingly and then a
00:20:43.07\00:20:44.74
little more energetically
00:20:44.74\00:20:46.88
by God that
00:20:46.88\00:20:48.91
regardless of what I had,
00:20:48.91\00:20:50.95
I was still expected to go
00:20:50.95\00:20:53.68
and serve.
00:20:53.68\00:20:54.85
I had been the sound team
00:20:54.85\00:20:57.99
leader at my church for a
00:20:57.99\00:20:59.25
long time so
00:20:59.25\00:21:01.49
God told me that He was still
00:21:01.49\00:21:02.92
expecting me to go and fulfill
00:21:02.92\00:21:05.33
that volunteer role and to go
00:21:05.33\00:21:09.00
to Africa and help out for
00:21:09.00\00:21:11.37
a month somewhere and
00:21:11.37\00:21:15.30
not to be so obnoxious to
00:21:15.30\00:21:16.84
people around me.
00:21:16.84\00:21:18.84
Sometimes when you have these
00:21:18.84\00:21:20.54
mental illnesses you go from
00:21:20.54\00:21:23.35
being a pushover to being
00:21:23.35\00:21:26.38
extremely angry at everything
00:21:26.38\00:21:28.02
for nothing.
00:21:28.02\00:21:29.38
And so I was like--
00:21:29.38\00:21:32.45
Then I realized, like yeah,
00:21:32.45\00:21:34.56
if I don't do anything
00:21:34.56\00:21:36.99
either I'm going to commit
00:21:36.99\00:21:38.53
suicide or I probably would
00:21:38.53\00:21:40.53
end up as an alcoholic or a
00:21:40.53\00:21:42.00
drug addict or
00:21:42.00\00:21:43.57
all of the above,
00:21:43.57\00:21:45.47
hurting someone, and
00:21:45.47\00:21:47.74
unfortunately they do teach
00:21:47.74\00:21:49.40
you how to do that so
00:21:49.40\00:21:51.51
that would have been bad.
00:21:51.51\00:21:53.94
So God made a big push
00:21:53.94\00:21:57.21
through a variety of ways,
00:21:57.21\00:21:58.78
directly and indirectly,
00:21:58.78\00:21:59.75
like, "Hey."
00:21:59.75\00:22:01.62
"Yes, you have this, but"
00:22:01.62\00:22:03.42
"do something about it."
00:22:03.42\00:22:04.89
It's not good enough to sit
00:22:04.89\00:22:06.15
there and mope.
00:22:06.15\00:22:09.42
I'm glad that I had God and I
00:22:09.42\00:22:12.09
still do have God for that
00:22:12.09\00:22:13.80
because this trouble is real
00:22:13.80\00:22:16.00
on a week to week basis.
00:22:16.00\00:22:17.83
Some weeks are good, some
00:22:17.83\00:22:19.57
weeks are not so good, but...
00:22:19.57\00:22:24.34
through people, through things
00:22:24.34\00:22:26.41
that were lined up in front of
00:22:26.41\00:22:28.34
me, God made it very clear to
00:22:28.34\00:22:31.11
me that I needed to, you know,
00:22:31.11\00:22:33.88
take action which is not easy
00:22:33.88\00:22:35.98
and, yeah, so I--
00:22:35.98\00:22:39.55
I mean, of course I'm thankful
00:22:39.55\00:22:40.69
that He is my God, but--
00:22:40.69\00:22:43.32
and even more thankful beyond
00:22:43.32\00:22:46.06
words and thoughts because He
00:22:46.06\00:22:49.50
still shows me the way to
00:22:49.50\00:22:51.13
actually go and try to work on
00:22:51.13\00:22:53.94
my things.
00:22:53.94\00:22:56.47
I have friends from the forces
00:22:56.47\00:23:00.44
that are not with me anymore
00:23:00.44\00:23:02.34
because they committed suicide
00:23:02.34\00:23:04.51
because of mental illness.
00:23:04.51\00:23:06.08
I have friends that are not
00:23:06.08\00:23:09.05
dead but are alcoholics
00:23:09.05\00:23:11.89
and drug addicts and
00:23:11.89\00:23:13.99
yes, so I could have
00:23:13.99\00:23:16.56
just as easily been
00:23:16.56\00:23:17.99
one of them,
00:23:17.99\00:23:19.16
end up like that.
00:23:19.16\00:23:21.03
God has a purpose for everyone
00:23:21.03\00:23:22.76
and in my particular case,
00:23:22.76\00:23:25.10
He reminded me that...
00:23:25.10\00:23:28.54
I guess He wasn't done with me
00:23:28.54\00:23:30.31
yet.
00:23:30.31\00:23:31.44
>> How important is
00:23:31.44\00:23:32.27
God to you?
00:23:32.27\00:23:34.61
Umm...
00:23:34.61\00:23:36.38
>> He's always been
00:23:36.38\00:23:37.25
important to me.
00:23:37.25\00:23:40.12
But through my physical
00:23:40.12\00:23:43.08
breakdown and my emotional
00:23:43.08\00:23:45.29
breakdown, He has reminded me
00:23:45.29\00:23:51.73
how important He should be,
00:23:51.73\00:23:53.83
not how important I think He
00:23:53.83\00:23:54.93
is, but how important He
00:23:54.93\00:23:56.90
really is to me, right?
00:23:56.90\00:23:58.97
So to me, that's quite
00:23:58.97\00:24:00.37
powerful.
00:24:00.37\00:24:02.17
Yeah, yeah, it's just--
00:24:02.17\00:24:04.01
I could sit here and try to
00:24:04.01\00:24:05.54
explain it, but it's beyond my
00:24:05.54\00:24:07.64
words in Spanish, French, or
00:24:07.64\00:24:10.18
English, it's just
00:24:10.18\00:24:11.35
beyond my words.
00:24:11.35\00:24:12.78
>> Otto, tell us in closing
00:24:12.78\00:24:14.45
about scriptures.
00:24:14.45\00:24:16.55
How do the scriptures come
00:24:16.55\00:24:17.45
into your life?
00:24:17.45\00:24:19.09
>> I'm very aware of the
00:24:19.09\00:24:20.82
importance and the beauty of
00:24:20.82\00:24:23.46
the Holy Spirit and...
00:24:23.46\00:24:26.93
the commandments and
00:24:26.93\00:24:29.53
forgiveness and all those
00:24:29.53\00:24:31.80
attributes, but to me the
00:24:31.80\00:24:34.84
Godly attribute that really
00:24:34.84\00:24:38.31
blows my mind every single
00:24:38.31\00:24:39.81
time is grace,
00:24:39.81\00:24:41.98
God's grace and...
00:24:41.98\00:24:46.25
I don't know where we would
00:24:46.25\00:24:47.32
be, I don't know where I would
00:24:47.32\00:24:48.28
be if it wasn't for God's
00:24:48.28\00:24:49.78
grace, right?
00:24:49.78\00:24:51.19
So...
00:24:51.19\00:24:53.25
That's my favourite one,
00:24:53.25\00:24:54.82
but that cannot exist without
00:24:54.82\00:24:56.32
love and so that's why
00:24:56.32\00:25:00.16
I Corinthians 13,
00:25:00.16\00:25:02.90
the whole chapter is like my
00:25:02.90\00:25:04.33
very favourite.
00:25:04.33\00:25:06.20
Yeah, and especially
00:25:06.20\00:25:08.50
I Corinthians 13,
00:25:08.50\00:25:10.37
the last verse is so amazing.
00:25:10.37\00:25:12.97
>> As we close off today,
00:25:12.97\00:25:14.14
I'm going to ask you, Otto,
00:25:14.14\00:25:15.31
would you close off with a
00:25:15.31\00:25:16.64
word of prayer for us?
00:25:16.64\00:25:18.01
>> Oh, for sure, yes.
00:25:18.01\00:25:20.15
Dear Lord, I humbly thank You
00:25:20.15\00:25:23.18
for the opportunity that
00:25:23.18\00:25:24.99
You have
00:25:24.99\00:25:27.79
led me to be here,
00:25:27.79\00:25:30.69
sitting in front of the
00:25:30.69\00:25:32.36
cameras with René and Mike.
00:25:32.36\00:25:38.07
It's not something that--
00:25:38.07\00:25:39.30
and You know it's not
00:25:39.30\00:25:40.40
something that I like doing,
00:25:40.40\00:25:44.07
but You know better than me
00:25:44.07\00:25:47.68
and thank You for the
00:25:47.68\00:25:49.64
opportunity to actually
00:25:49.64\00:25:52.38
arrange things so that
00:25:52.38\00:25:53.58
this happened and I
00:25:53.58\00:25:56.02
ask humbly that You
00:25:56.02\00:25:58.89
allow what we share here to
00:25:58.89\00:26:02.26
impress even just one person
00:26:02.26\00:26:03.53
out there
00:26:03.53\00:26:05.53
and to know that
00:26:05.53\00:26:07.73
no matter what they go through
00:26:07.73\00:26:09.16
they're never alone.
00:26:09.16\00:26:11.07
And thank You for Your love,
00:26:11.07\00:26:12.70
thank You for Your grace,
00:26:12.70\00:26:14.07
and thank You for
00:26:14.07\00:26:15.84
It Is Written Canada and for
00:26:15.84\00:26:17.91
all they do and their labour
00:26:17.91\00:26:19.77
of love through so many people
00:26:19.77\00:26:23.95
and homes and individuals
00:26:23.95\00:26:27.85
and please keep us safe,
00:26:27.85\00:26:29.58
in Your name, amen.
00:26:29.58\00:26:30.82
[Mike and René] Amen.
00:26:30.82\00:26:32.02
>> Although Otto was not born
00:26:32.85\00:26:35.19
in Canada, he was so proud
00:26:35.19\00:26:37.33
when he became a Canadian that
00:26:37.33\00:26:38.73
he was prepared to wear the
00:26:38.73\00:26:40.93
maple leaf and become a member
00:26:40.93\00:26:43.20
of the Canadian Armed Forces.
00:26:43.20\00:26:46.10
>> So what makes Canada great?
00:26:46.10\00:26:48.77
Some say it's the clean air,
00:26:48.77\00:26:50.31
the natural resources,
00:26:50.31\00:26:52.44
the 3 million fresh water
00:26:52.44\00:26:54.48
lakes spread across this
00:26:54.48\00:26:55.78
beautiful landscape.
00:26:55.78\00:26:57.48
>> And others say that it's
00:26:57.48\00:26:58.65
the people.
00:26:58.65\00:26:59.95
They are so considerate and so
00:26:59.95\00:27:01.35
polite and so welcoming,
00:27:01.35\00:27:03.59
known all over the world for
00:27:03.59\00:27:05.32
this kind of behaviour.
00:27:05.32\00:27:07.46
So what makes Canada great?
00:27:07.46\00:27:09.46
