    As a Canadian, I'm puzzled why people wouldn't thank their bus driver. I always do so when the bus driver drops me off, and until watching this video I never even comprehended the possibility of not doing so.

      you would be surprised to find, a lot of countries think Canadians are to polite. like that is even a thing. my mother raised me to be grateful to people, and say thank you when someone does something for me. is it a bus drivers job, sure it is. but that doesn't excuse using manners.

    Canadian here: I really enjoyed this video. I've actually always wanted to visit Germany, and this video has reinforced that. I found the Germans in this video to be very pleasant and well-informed. I find Germans to be quite modern and adaptive to many situations. It was interesting to note, as with most places, Germans don't really think of Canada often. Sometimes it pays to be quiet on the world stage :-)

      That is very nice to hear, aixopk. You would of course be most welcome in Canada. Canada has a fairly rich history regarding German immigration; going back quite some time. As a matter of fact, I live only one hour from a few areas here in Nova Scotia, Canada, which are very heavily influenced by German immigrants. There is actually a place not far from here called "New Germany". Also, one of the most beautiful places in Nova Scotia, named "Lunenburg", was settled primarily by Germans, and is a beautiful, small cultural place which focuses on traditional tall ships and sailing. Many people love to visit this place.
      Germans have contributed a great deal to Canada. And that is speaking only of Canada. North America in general has greatly benefited from the Germans who decided to make their homes here, in both recent and times past. This continent in it's entirety would be no where near as modern as it is now without the cultural, technological and social developments of the German people.
      I must disagree with you on one point. You would know much better than I of course, but I have found each and every German that I have met to be very open-minded, intelligent and very informed.
      Thank you very much for your reply! :)

      Well, you gotta know, badmouthing ourselves is a HUGE sport in Germany!
      Whenever I travel and meet up with people who have visited Germany, they always say how open minded, friendly and well informed we are.
      Yes, we do have idiots here, but as far as I can judge, so has the USA, so has China, Hong Kong, UK, Scotland, Taiwan and yes, I even ran into some mofos from Australia and New Zealand.

      When someone applies to Canadian immigration online , many seem to be on the waiting list as tens of thousands of people in the world apply to Canada and Australia.

      That's very true. In general though what I mean is we always have the U.S. shadowing us as far as news and what people talk about. Rarely does someone ever think of Canada or mention us other than it's cold and we're nice. Which I don't mind at all, just an observation after having lived in the U.S., and having been born and raised here in Canada.
      And yes, the grass is greener syndrome definitely happens for a lot of people.

    Ja, das Video war charmant und es hat mir gefälllt. Danke schön! I couldn't help but notice that even though many of the Germans spoke of stereotypes they were also aware that they were stereotypes. So nice... I have sometimes wondered in the past if everyone visited just the interior of British Columbia (impressive nature, bears, etc.). Yeah, our country is far from perfect and has its problems, too. Perhaps compared to some other problems happening elsewhere in the world, it's not always bad to be 'boring' or otherwise 'unheard' of in the news in comparison.

    I went to Croatia and anyone who heard us speak thought we were American, and when we told them we were Canadian, some people just thought there was no difference between us and the USA (including my cousins), and some people became friendlier towards us. I hope to go to Germany soon!

      imaproducabruin - "Nope, they didn't actually become friendlier. You may have confused it with being surprised because they don't come across canadians as much as americans."
      Have you ever actually travelled extensively? I very rarely come across people from the US, and when I do they are wear fanny packs, are talking about their own domestic politics, or ordering food they can easily enjoy in the US.
      And no, areas where there are US military bases don't count as travelling.
      There's always at least one Canadian everywhere you go.

    I wonder if modern day Germans are aware how many Germans settled in Canada... quite a lot. Present day Kitchener-Waterloo used to be called Berlin (the name was changed back around the time of the war.) My great-grandfather was born in New Germany, Ontario (now called Stevensville.) His mother and her family came to Canada from Germany in the 1880s. Lots of German heritage in Canada.

      Curiously there is still a New Germany in Nova Scotia and Nova Scotians never seemed to have had much of a problem with it during or after WWII. The original settlers in that area were German and to this day they still have a distinct accent different for all other places in Nova Scotia. It is known as the Lunenburg accent. Also, in Nova Scotia, if you see a place or street name with Dutch in it is probably was originally Deutsch. I don't believe this was a slight to German people. It was just a typical English lack of knowledge of the German language and they probably substituted Dutch for Deutsch quit innocently.😀

    One thing that some people say about Canada is that we say hello, how are you like Americans, and we say it so much that people think we are being fake. That is not true though, it’s just a simple greeting to show that we care and are interested in meeting you (or serving you if you are at a restaurant) it’s also like an ice breaker if you get what I mean. But I guess I can see how foreigners might think different. Also we in Canada do say sorry a lot (I’ve heard they do a lot in England as well) and people think that’s fake too but we always say sorry even if it wasn’t our fault JUST IN CASE IT WAS so we can let the person know that we know. For example if someone had their foot out and you tripped on it and said sorry usually the other person would notice that they had a part in it too and say sorry as well. No harm done, simple mistake, move on.

Ist bei uns oder den Niederländern oder Australiern ja auch nicht anders

      And in Santa Catarina state there are several villages where German is still spoken and one where the now extinct in Germany Pomeranian dialect is spoken by everyone!
      One very remarkable characteristic about Pomerode is the fact that 90% of its residents speak German, more specifically the East Pomeranian dialect.
      In Pomerode, as in some other localities in southern Brazil (Santa Maria de Jetibá, Espírito Santo, among them), the German language is not a foreign language, but a Brazilian linguistic regionalism.

    I'm American from the south shore of Lake Superior. I agree with the comments insomuch as I take them as being directed toward rural Canada. Truth is, rural Canada isn't that different from rural U.S. But, I was shot at by a road-rager in Toronto because I was slowing him down driving in a snow storm, in the dark, in a construction area. That's never happened to me in the States.

Berliner waren mir gut......und gaben mir nicht zu viel Berliner-Schnauze! LOL Kanada hat auch ein "Berlin" .....heutzutage heißt es "Kitchener". Diese Stadt findet jedes Jahr ein "Oktoberfest" statt. Und es war mir eine Überaschung, daß viele deutschen Städte liegen weiter Nord als Vancouver oder Toronto. Auf der Westküste gibt es jedes Jahr viele deutsche sprache Touristen aus Deutsch, Österreich und der Schweiz. Easy Deutsch ist am Besten.....herzlichen Dank für dieses Video, Kari. Es war sehr nett von Ihnen. Herlichen Grüße aus der kanadische Pazifikküste. Ich kann besser Deutsch sprechen, wegen dir!
