we fucking love mac and cheese, but we call it kraft dinner
it's great high food
Yaws KD
+Madison Whelan *Yass
I'm in Canada and here Mac and cheese is melted cheese on top of the noodles and Kraft dinner is cheese with cheese that u mix with the noodles
Kraft Dinner is amazing
Canada also invented poutine, baseball, basket ball, the telephone, inculin, and much more. Crazy what we've done for such a small population.
Zelda Master And the telephone, basketball, baseball
Yeah we rock! I wouldn’t be able to live without Poutine😅
James Smith You’re wrong at 50%. Because Canada invented Poutine, but not chips lays. Chips lays have been invented by the United States of America.
I think you mean Old Dutch chips... Lays is an American brand. Although "All dressed" and "Catsup" are uniquely Canadian flavours.
And Nanaimo bars. Don't forget our blessed treat
45 years here and not one ticket for doing something nice, Sounds like Bs lol
Are you out there doing nice things? I think it's more oriented towards the youth to encourage good behavior like "helping a granny cross the road" and things of that nature.
My son has gotten one.
depends where you are, also a specialized enforcement officer must be present
+Danielle S how?
Its only with the RCMP
I'm seriously proud to be Canadian
And hey you forgot to say that we have the lowest crime rate too ^^
not the lowest. it's certainly lower than the states
+Teh Lolbitz Ever heard of Deadmonton?
Elare briefly, yes.
Same, I'm so patriotic
Reflection Gaming not the lowest but Juan of the lowest
I sent a mail to Santa Claus when I was 9 and actually got a mail back, I was surprised but really happy!
I remember that too HOH OHO
I did when i was 10, never got anything back,i was so sad.
Isabella lol Santa doesnt love you.
OngNiel Trash I got a video of santa talking to me for free :D
after my country I have to say this is my favourite country I love Canada and Canadians!! magnificent people!! 😍😍😍
Roberto Chinchilla my favorite county too
Roberto Chinchilla yay! I love me too 🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸
Hardcore Barbie GamerGirl Hahaha !!😍🤘
This dude was lowkey hating on the United States
I noticed that too
yeah I live in the US and have my entire life and I openly hate on it everyday. I however love Canada, and think we can learn from them on how to better our country.
Uh..no
Don't forget Canada has fewer people than the state of California in an area larger than the entire USA. Less issues and problems tend to arise with much fewer people.
F Dannn true
The McDonald's McFlurry was created in New Brunswick, Canada
Matthew Walsh lol so proud right?
i live there lmao, didnt know thats where it was made.
Don't mention bieber, thats an embarrassment like nickleback. We brought you RUSH, thats all that matters, you owe us eternally for that alone.
I agree
cbilljones we don't want Bieber have him
we had a hockey game usa vs canada and canada had posters all over saying loser keeps bieber, canada won btw
But you have Our Lady Peace and Finger Eleven
We did make them take Beiber though, soo........they should be pissed really!
Never in my life have I heard of or seen anyone get a positive ticket. Maybe that's only Quebec or something.
no I'm from quebec and we don't have it here either
Nope never, Canada confirm from Ontario.
Never Manitoba
Probably
every province and territory but only Rcmp, OPP, Alberta and bc policing
I'm moving to Toronto wish me luck.
+NIRVANICA SANDE Best of luck to you! :)
No don't wish u luck wish Toronto luck
Tammy Coles why is that? :(
Toronto is the worst place to live in Canada
if you have the money move to Vancouver specifically Richmond
We also invented the telephone
Alexander graham bell is english
Americans fervently deny that.
+Teh Lolbitz We invented blackberry
LongLiveSim that's not something to be proud of
Trenton Pottruff dude Alexander Graham bell is English.
I'm moving to Edmonton, Alberta for college :) wish me luck
good luck,bring a coat,bring two actually.
haha okay
Good luck!
good luck dude
thanks guys :)
Ya, we are pretty amazing.
Geneviève R what about private dentists earning in Canada?
Ikr
I'm from France and I think your country is shit compare to france
I think Pakistan is the best
Every country is best
I'm glad I live in Canada!
I'm coming in your country.
I'm coming
I love living in Canada. Lived here all my life. Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. We have the biggest nickel and Science North. Medical school, University and 2 colleges. Great fishing lakes. This is just the city I live in. Winters are pretty cold. Currently it is -20C and we have lots of snow. It is only the beginning of winter. Another 5 months of this. lol. We do know how to keep warm, though. :) Much love from Canada, everyone.
I'm on the longest street right now!
+Sean Webb don't internet & drive! Unless you're in the passenger seat..
In which case: that's awesome!
Alux.com Oh I wasn't driving. The building I work in in on the street.
***** Oh cool. Where do you work?
I am coming to find you dude....only 1800 klms worth of doors to knock on!!!!
2:20 When police see kids practicing bicycle safety, they give them a ticket for free icecream at Dairy Queen or something
Oh, I would love that
That is so not fucking true I'm 17 and lived here my whole life and not once has that ever happened... got a few tickets for jaywalking though
you forgot basketball
what about basketball?
rodney perry Canada also invented basketball
+Naum Leibman they also forgot ice cream cones.
+Naum Leibman and the canadarm
And baseball
This makes me happy to live here in Canada
When I think about the word "Dignity" with respect to the world politics etc, I am immediately reminded of Canada. Canada should be THE role model to the rest of the world. Just live your life with dignity and joy.
I knew all this because I am Canadian 😂 😂
Can hou explain the hooker thing?? I dont understand
The best friend I have had for many years lives in Sarnia. I have never actually met her in person, but she has corresponded with me frequently, and is the kindest, most compassionate true lady that I have ever known.
So today, I am proud to celebrate Canada Day for all the reasons that make our ally so strong, but also because of Helen!
Canada: has oil
*America wants to know your location*
Oh wait you forgot to mention that Canada has the best marijuana in the world ;)
only in BC
did you forget Colorado?
Josh Harlan canada has better weed
That's not something to be proud of
***** yes it is. Unless you are a Mormon.
I'm so happy to be Canadian
:Edit I live in Brantford where the telephone was invented and I recently visited the Bell Homestead and it's quite a cool place to see some history
We also invented basketball and baseball, so you're welcome America for the Warriors and cavs
B B Yet they only have one team of each.
Matthew Brunette because hockey is more important
The Basketball Association of America became the NBA. The first game played by the predecessor of the NBA was played by the Toronto Huskies hosting the New York Knickerbockers at Maple Leaf Gardens. After that Canadians decided it was somewhat of a wimpy game and left it for the Americans. No one knows when or were baseball was invented but the first documented or recorded game was played outside London Ontario. The game that influenced Gridiron football(American football) was played between Harvard and McGill. Good news for our American friends however there is no question the Americans invented Volley ball. Incidentally Canada also has the oldest professional football teams.
My mom said we may move to Canada so just getting prepared!! (It's going to be hard because I won't know any history and I will have to spell some words differently)
We just add the letter U everywhere (labour, colour) and the z in some places is prononced zed.
Ok thanks!!!
Leave your bike at home. Everybody gets a moose.
Welcome. It's better up here. There are fewer crazies
+shuhan they get help for free as well!
I am goddamn proud to be Canadian 👍
You and me both brother
I never thought about it but we do eat lots of mac and cheese o_O. We are a weird people.
I'm German and I often think about moving to Canada since I heard so many good things about this country!
KD!!!!!
ahh yes. The perfect high food
We also have the world's longest coastline and are the biggest exporter of blueberries.
Awww I remember my first Santa Letter !!
4:35 we also invented the zipper, baseball, basketball, poutine, and the telephone.
The 6th fact truly convinced me to one day visit this beautiful country.
I really enjoyed this video .
And also it motivated me to be in that country one day.
I'm from Iran but I really enjoy traveling.
You know , I decided to travel around the world!!❤✌
Oh boy ...
3) There's no such thing as a college degree here. Colleges give out diplomas and certificates; universities give out degrees.
4) It's "Santa Claus" not "Santa Clause"
7) It's "Yonge Street" not "The Yonge Street"
9) We have lots of other fun place names, too, such as Climax and Vulcan.
12) "The Police Department in Canada"? I googled this and found 2 small towns where this had happened. It's not usual.
13) As wonderful as it sounds (and we like to brag about it), the Americans actually tried to invade the British colony of Canada. We didn't become a separate nation until 1867.
16) You're referring to "correctional facililties" (aka prisons aka penitentiaries). We have many, many more jails.
24) "In Canadian NorthWest Territories". Our territories are similar to our provinces. We have 3 of them: The Yukon, Inuvit, and The NorthWest Territories. You should have said, "In Canada's NorthWest Territories".
I know this is nit-picking but, if you're sharing interesting facts, please be more accurate.
Patricia Carlin It’s not Inuvit it’s Nunavut
"Peanut bu-u" 😂😂
1. Poutine
2. Ketchup chips
3. All dressed chips
4. We call beanies “tuques”
5. We went once at 9th grade to visit a working jail and it feels better than my school.
I'm from Canada, and number 22 on this list should be more specific. We have the most fresh water lakes in the world, does not include all lakes cause if it did we would also have the most salt water lakes! Also a Canadian invented insulin, so that diabetics would have a better chance at survival and stuff.
what? insulin is a hormone. no one invented it
synthetic insuline
Good
I Love Candan Who does too❤❤❤
I’m Canadian and I knew almost every thing
Oh, Canada! we miss you... from a Canadian who works in Kuwait.
We invented Canadian Tire...😂
Riki Yul GOOD ONE!!!
I love Canada! I've been to Toronto and Montreal a few times, such a beautiful country with very friendly people! I would love to have a house in either city one day! :)
You already go in Montreal? Cuz I'm in Montreal (during 2016).
@@gammaechofoundationproductions Oh i'm just in Laval now but next to Montreal and sorry for the mistake. It's because I thought that Laval is from Montreal but at least, i were at Montreal during 2016. Saturday, I'm going to Montreal to go to Chinatown
@@gammaechofoundationproductions And do you know the STM (Montreal's metro)?
@@gammaechofoundationproductions Oh ok. And do you know french mon ami?
@@gammaechofoundationproductions Bien et comment tu sais que c'est mon nom?
#7 is actually a misconception. people think that yonge street turns into highway 11 and then arcs north and eventually west, but it doesn't. yonge goes from to Toronto to my hometown of Barrie. highway 11 (which is a totally different road) begins at a fork in the northeast part of the city where highway 400 turns left but 11 heads east and then north. the closest yonge got to that fork was downtown, but streets changed and intersections moved causing it to change names into burton and then end abruptly at essa road.
Why are you so underrated??? You need more subs!
Agreed! Almost 100K now! Yay!
4:35 and paper, and phones!!!!!! Damn right!!!!! Alexander Grahm ball was CANADIAN!!!!!!!!!!
No he isn't he just lived in Canada for awhile.
He emigrated to Canada first and had a huge home in Cape Breton were he built the plane the Silver Dart and raised his family. One of his children married a Grosvenor of the National Geographic Magazine fame. The Alexander Graham Bell museum is in Baddeck, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The first long distance phone call was made in Ontario.
Actually at the time if you were a British subject and lived in Canada you were regarded as Canadian. The term citizen came much later.
Andy Drany his last name is Bell not Ball
Canada is heaven
Elder Maxson not really, this video sugarcoats it. I'm proud of my country but it's not all sunshine and rainbows.
im with Mona on this one. Canada is great, but were far from perfe- aaaand this was posted a year ago....
Wow I learned a lot about Canada 🇨🇦!
Thank you Alux! I have a new respect for Canadians!
I often jump into strangers cars to get away from polar bears
if ur trying to be funny, its not working
+Steve F or you just don't have a sense of humor
Steve reefer
It's the norm. Your sentence made me laugh by the way.
James Naismith invented basketball in US but he is Canadian！
Sid Li yes he was a Canadian citien that libed in America he was trying to figure out a sport for the kids to do during the winter inside so be took a soccer ball and peach basket to make BASKETBALL!!!!!
Loved this video so much Canada is one of my favorite county
Damn! I've lived in both the USA and Canada, and consider myself a bit of a military history buff, but I had no idea that Canada declared war on the Empire of Japan before the US did!
we also invented the telephone
no we fucking didn't.
Bell is an American sorry
He invented it in Canada then produced it in US.
whilst the dude himself was british
So a british man in canada invented the telephone then sold it in america?
I want to move there. I feel like this country is perfect. I believe in equality for everyone and I am currently trying to get my degree... makes me want to enroll in one of Canada's colleges to move and be part of this amazing country... if only it was that easy
"Amazing place with maybe syrup" lmfao 😂
Canada is a beautiful rich an d powerful country full of the most different varieties of people and ethnicities,people in mostly educated and interesting but they have such a strong character and personality,they are also people who respect nature and environment and are very close to their environment.What is admirable is the way they respect their laws and they are inclusive with disabled people. And exactly why they are very educated people they are open minded and tolerant as well,you gotta love Canada!
You missed basketball
I live a few hours away from Dildo
grand master flash lol
I love canada even more
I love Canada. Wish I could move there 😍
I'm very proud of myself for moving out and living in Canada (Montreal). ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
You guess real-life Captain Kirk was born in the city?
26. In Canada we have the best sport: Skiing!
Can anyone by chance tell me what the background music is in this video and where I can get it?
About the blueberries in Abbotsford the biggest one. Also the beautiful castle Chateau Frontenac !
We invented poutines!!! Let's see you Americans invent something good
The internet.
alyssa the internet is sometimes full of lies
Philly cheesesteak.
@@kodidane5824 Philly cheesesteakkkkkk. As a Canadian, I can agree that those 100% are up to par! 🤤
Where did you get these facts, they are all BS. I've lived in Canada all my life and this is all not true. I sounded like you went to the click bait web site and got it off that
which Ones? and how would living here give you the information to the things listed?
James William Irwin-Cowan hi,,bro where are you from??
Hello how are you doing
Thank you for the information. ♥
Santa Clause is the title of a Tim Allen movie. The jolly guy who lives at postal code H0H 0H0 and delivers toys to kids is called Santa Claus. No "E".
I'm movin up there I can't take this fool trump
Fresco702 H dawg wait until u see our politics. lol
Fresco702 H you're right m8 Trudeau loves kids and helps the homeless meanwhile Mr. Toupee spent $3 Million of taxpayers money at one of his resorts.
Fresco702 H trump is better than the train wreck Trudeau we got
Hammi hell no
Dominic Blair yes
The countries with the most highly educated citizens are also some of the wealthiest in the world. The United States, Japan and Canada are on our list and also have among the largest GDPs. Norway and Australia, also featured, have the second and sixth-highest GDPs per capita, respectively.
Qatar has the highest income but their literacy rate is lower than Canada's انا اتكلام عربية
Baggage tags. I don't know why I am fond at looking at baggage tags? Is it the large bold three letters of you destination, or the black and white font and background colors that contrastses with the airline's colourful logos.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE macaroni and cheese! I had no idea that we invented peanut butter! That's awesome!
I LOVE CANADA:) MY FAMILY IS PLANNING TO GO THERE! Hopefully we do:)
Santa Claus also lives in Rovaniemi, Fnland in Europe and Santa Claus (St. Nicolas) is from Demre, Turkey, originally :)
I am from a small town in Canada and we have 4 lakes which is basically my whole town☺️
All canadians are lucky because it's very special to be in canada

Devlin Fraleigh
Have you been to camp 30?
I’m proud of us
I am a proud Canadian and ...yes... I LOVE mac and cheese!!! mostly my home made baked one!!!
Yonge street is actually only 83klms (53mls) long. Yes it continues as highway 11 but that doesn't count as Yonge street
This might not be correct because a dude from my school was probably trying to impress me by telling me facts about our country but I'm pretty sure he said that Tim Hortons was named after a famous hockey player?Also you can get pretty much anything you can think of maple in Canada
I am from Canada and I did not know a positive ticket was a thing! Very well done!
never heard of a positive ticket in my life
+Steve reefer Who would have though??
