As an American I get to hear a lot of American opinions but I rarely get to hear the genuine thoughts of individuals outside the United States and what they think of America. That is exactly why I am very interested in reacting and hearing about what Canadians really think about Americans, from this video's interviews. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Im Canadian born and raised, and i think most fellow Canadians would agree with me when i say the biggest negative for me is the violence in the States. Mass shootings and gun violence in general.
The shootings are not evenly distributed. Stay in the white areas and out of the ghettoes, and you'll be quite safe here.
I have to say true but eh I live in the country side of the USA u rarely see it happen I guess you just have to find the right neighborhood
How about American jingoism? Americans are myopic and often don’t understand and have no interest in learning about others than themselves…
How about the Sikh lunatics running around shooting killing each other?
Didn’t you see how refugees defect on the streets of Vancouver?
Didn’t you feel the rise in taxes?
You guys don’t have gun violence like we do but we don’t peep in our neighbors house to see what’s going on there like Canadians do. As a matter of fact, every Canadian has his/ her nose buried in an American crack.
That and healthcare for sure I think are the 2 biggest reasons
I’m Canadian, and I agree- you couldn’t pay me enough to live in the USA.
At one time I would agree with this, but as I grow older, every winter Arizona looks better and better to me. No figid cold or heavy snow shoveling when I'm full of arthritis 🤣🤣
A lot of well off ppl move to America. We also have a brain drain.
Same
I lived in the US for a few years when I was a kid ( in the early 90's ). I enjoyed it, but no chance in hell I would move back the way it is now.
same, and i live right across the river from detroit. i don't even visit. not till they clean up their Nazi problem completely from their government.
I think Canadians who aren't recent immigrants know a lot about America. Growing up in Canada we had classes directly about the USA. Personally I found all the questions very easy.
Or yet another way to say that is new immigrants don't know as much about the western world, that's why they came to Canada in the first place...we tricked them into coming here. Now they are stuck working for basically nothing!
A warning for anybody think about moving to Canada from India, Pakistan any Africa nations, China or South Korea, etc. So many immigrants I'd meet here are like what the heck. I thought this place was going to be nice. Then they get injured or sick and I think we have a "healthcare system" only to find out that we don't even have family doctors anymore or many doctors for that matter period.
There is far too little Canadian content, especially history and current events in Canadian schools. It’s ridiculous how much we learn about the United States compared to our own country, and the rest of the world. COVID was an excellent example of how much Canadian education is failing students, American news media has wormed into our culture, and how easily people are ready to be manipulated. The gap between the wealthy and the poor keeps growing, regular Canadians are buying into the idea of American style healthcare, letting go of good education for children (just accepting both private healthcare and education getting tax money from the government). I’m tired of watching Canada slide down the list of best countries to live. I’m tired of watching so many countries swing right, shooting themselves in the feet.
Being Canadian isn't about colour, it's about Spirit.
With all due respect to peoples' country of origin, once you're here - and prove you're not a total dick - your culture and traditions are now a small part of overall "Canadian culture" ❤
Amen❤
spirit airlines
with all the aggressive affirmative it kinda is about color now.
I’ll say this- as a Canadian, watching an American trying to understand Canada… I’m kinda touched. I like this dude. Thanks for learning about our country.
Yea it makes me happy
He is endearing...
Well he is making money being a CZcamsr out of uneducated Canadians loosing their time on videos produced by anybody who tries to make money on CZcams ... a poucentage of Canadians like Americans have the same lack of culture and history of their own country . this is a fact that most canadians are the same as USA regarding education, culture, values and history...meaning poor knowledge.
I like how open he is to learning.
lmao, he's a typical product of the Murica education system
Hey Tyler, Canadian here. Martin Luther King is actually super important in the Canadian public education curriculum too!
Same in my country I started learning him in yr12 and i graduated high school in 2020 when the hole riots became an event because of George Floyd but I started learning about him in yr11 the topic went through yr12
i never learned about MLK once in school in Canada. They prbly only started teaching it after the George Floyd murder
Dude did so much to try to fix America. Damn rights we know about Mr. King too.
In a Canadian city Vancouver, i felt uncomfortable walking home at night because it was so late and i was a young woman, a homeless man could tell walked me home so sweet!!
About the safety issue I remember this story from a Canadian from Ottawa who became a famous actor i the US and settled in LA . Years later returned to Ottawa for a visit and got lost at night. He pulled over to check his maps and heard a knock at his window but then remembered he was in Ottawa. The person just wanted to offer diriection
This made me laugh
Dear Tyler, please react to Rick Mercer Talking to Americans. I'm Canadian and just couldn't believe what I was hearing and neither will you!
It’s important to remember that those shows are curated. But the politicians falling for the tricks is sad
I recommended that to him in an earlier video, along with a few dozen others. We would wet ourself listening to it. He wont get a damned thing!
As a Canadian watching this I was surprised by the people not knowing the answers to these questions.... I learned all this in school.
I’m in Australia and I knew the answers. 🤣🤣🤣
I was surprised also, however, I would guess that some of those interviewed did not attend Canadian elementary schools.
@@lauragreen219 yup
judging by a couple of accents, some were new canadians, but still everyone is taught about the US in our schools.
Yes definitely taught these in school
Canadian here - tend to travel in the USA, mostly to historical sites, but not since the pandemic started, and Trump. I still feel like you are all in a hangover with it, so we have been looking for more Canadian destinations. Turns out places like Banff, Victoria Island, etc, are so stunning, I don't need to go elsewhere
Exactly ever since Trump voted in, I refuse to go to USA.
Where is Victoria Island?
@@tsam3338he hasn’t been President for years lol, not to mention the majority of Americans didn’t vote for him, he won because of the electoral college.
As a Canadian, I love my country. But there is so much that is wrong with our country. We have a lot going for us but we are very similar in a lot of aspects. Btw Love the videos, trying to understand our country from across the border is amazing.
Yeah dude, living in Canada has some serious problems lately, pretty sure we're living under a communist dictatorship nowadays
Canadian leaders are trying to be American leaders, but Canadian civilians have no, if not negative, desire to be American civilians.
I am an American Veteran and I cannot wait to visit Canada again. It's beautiful, safe, and peaceful
come back any time bro
@@jackobite68 bro'ette 😉, and thank you 😁👍
Thanks for your service. Protecting America in turn protects Canada .
You are welcome back any time
Im a Canadian Veteran, come have a beer sometime eh?
Not that safe
I'm a Canadian. My husband has been on many business trips including to the US, Saudi, and Shanghai. The place I worried most about his safety was the US. Anywhere else, he could be aware of the laws and be safe, but the US has so many random mass shootings that no matter what you do to keep yourself safe, you aren't. In the US, kindergarteners practice active shooter drills. That's a sign of a very ill country. I agree with that one woman, you couldn't pay me enough to live there.
Same.
To be fair, as a Canadian teacher we have active shooter drills also. But for us, it's mostly for a precaution not due to the inevitable like in America....
@@alandeon Yeah I was going to say we have drills too, but they're not really just about shooting, they are more about keeping children safe in the event that someone comes to the school and you don't know what their intentions are. This could be anything, a mentally ill person in the wrong place, a homeless person searching bins for cans, or somebody with a knife or gun.
Through my entire time at school there's only a couple lockdowns, most were false. Only one had to do with guns and it was something that was happening in the area, not specifically in our school. I've never feared for my life going to school in Canada. Drills are just there for worst case scenarios that barely happen.
100% agree!!
On a visit to Austin Texas I was eating breakfast with my child. A young man looked at me and said," If I pulled out a gun and shoot, what would you do?" Verbatim quote.
My reply? "It's your choice."
People in the restaurant sat there, doing nothing.
Nope,not ever going back for any length of time.
I am Canadian and prefer Canada. I remember the shock I got once when I traveled to Buffalo on a whim when visiting Niagara falls. We decided to check out stores across the border. I headed towards Buffalo as I had always stayed in Niagara falls before. I think we got off the ramp at the first "Buffalo" off-ramp and ended up in a round about in front of an old tall office building and decided to get off the left of it. We drove past some really old mansion size houses that looked lived in...a few mins down the road I turned right to check out the houses off the main road...wooooah! It was like night and day...every other houses was boarded up and people were eyeing me up standing on street corners...we turned around fast and got out of there! I can't think of any neighborhood of houses that are that run down here. They either are torn down or renovated. Rarely see anything boarded up long. It also seemed like their street lights are further apart...like it is darker at night...just creepy to me. I was also constantly thinking if someone hit me and I needed to go to the hospital, because it was a spur of the moment thing, I had not bought any health insurance. It could end up very costly. I did not enjoy that worry. We left to came back after a quick lunch and stop at a grocery store for foods we can't get here. I was so glad to be back on Canadian soil when we crossed back over. That was about 20 years ago. With all the political divide going on and random mass shootings I have no desire to go there.
This made me realize as a Canadian i know more about American politics than i should lol.
self criticism is the Canadian way of being nice and polite. When you talk bad about another, you then feel bad and self criticise too
it is called education , etiquette and manners.and it is all the same in each country on the planet and not specific to Canada..Some europeans countries have a better sense of identity and culture than Canada. Since Canada is unfortunately a country of immigration ... Canada has no identity( very sililar to USA), no common values , no commun culture ....same tv, news same movies, same food , same violence, guns , xenophobia and more racist than ever.
Having lived in both countries, I have to say that life in Canada is generally better, more enjoyable, and more free. I concur with random lady at 4:45.
I grew up thinking there was 52 states, 50 south of our border plus Alaska and Hawaii. Of course there are 50 states including Alaska and Hawaii. I recently learned there also are territories such as Guam and Puerto Rico.
There is a reason it is called "The lower 48"
same here! always thouht it was 52 states + territories... I should have counted the stars on their flag before hahaha but I know there are 13 stripes for the first states... or something haha
@@MaevaRocks I thought it was 52 as well. Same thing exactly. 50 + Hawaii and Alaska. Plus Canada never changes and the US does change. Every few years there is some new place trying to join the States.
At one point some place in the Carribean tried to join Canada. I don't remember what place, but it must have been in the 60s or 70s. It was rejected. In Parliament I think. I've been upset about that ever since. I badly want to move to some place warm, but the LAST place in the world I would ever move is the States! So my chances were wrecked by it. I wish I could remember which place that was.
Same always thought there was 50 plus Alaska and Hawai, 52 total. Lol, too lazy to count
That's a rather common misconception, can't really count how often I see it. Still intriguing, though.
Tyler, for comparison to these interviews, have a look at Rick Mercer’s “Talking to Americans.” Canadians found it one of the funniest videos ever!
I'm extremely proud of being Canadian. Our society has superior education and healthcare, but Amercian politics is influencing ours in ways that undermine our social infrastructure. In Ontario, the government continues to underfund and/or attempt cutbacks that cause cracks to key programs. We need to remember our core values as Canadians and resist American influences.
Agreed 100%. You can already see the American form of hate creeping into our social media sites.
Both countries have the same political issues but obvi in the US it's more extreme cuz, well, it's the US.
I don't understand why we're flirting with fascism again. Do we think we didn't give it a good enough go the first time 🤦🏻♀️
I agree withi you. I get the sense that there are some Canadian politicians that look longingly at the polarization in the US and are attempting to replicate it here. American political and social mindsets are quickly gaining ground in Canada.
perfect way to word it , agree 100%
The bleeding effect, yeah. American internet society is unfortunately infectious to lesser minds, and vice versa. (Too easily externally affected too)
Another fantastic video Tyler! Just a thought on Canadian Health Care for you, in March 2021 our 19 yr old son was admitted to hospital with what we originally thought was complications to asthma. We thankfully live In London, Ontario that has several large urban trauma centers so he was getting the absolute BEST care. Tests, scans, x-rays, blood work, biopsies, surgeries etc. in July he was FINALLY diagnosed with an extremely rare terminal lung disease. He has gone through 6 months of chemo, he has been doing thoracic physiotherapy three days a week for more than 16 months. Multiple hospital stays. Since July 5 of this year he has been put on the transplant list for a bilateral(double) lung transplant. Our only out of pocket expenses have been coffee, gas, and sometimes hospital parking. That has been it.
His boat load of medications have been 100% covered by my husband, his father's employment health insurance. We are so extremely grateful to live in Canada.
@Mary Antonio if you needed those tests though, it would be covered. It’s just like car insurance. You pay into it in case you need the services that the insurance would pay for, and you still have to pay for everything the insurance won’t cover. Even if you never get into an accident, you can comfortably know that you’re not one accident away from being without a vehicle. Losing your vehicle could mean losing your job, losing access to community services, etc. I think private insurance is a scam but if your focus is on the things you feel you should be getting but aren’t, I think that’s the wrong way to look at this in this scenario. People pay for OHIP but it’s so that everyone gets equal treatment, including our children who don’t have jobs, rather than people getting unequal treatment based on their income.
Also a number of these people that are being interviewed are probably fairly new immigrants to Canada from other places around the globe so why would they know American history including presidents.
Much hugs and love.I was engaged to a man with CF who got a double lung transplant at Toronto general.You will be in my prayers ♥️♥️
My heart is with you! I cannot imagine the strength and courage it takes to share such news! But, I do know that your son has one heck of an amazing mother in his corner! Like your son, my mom and Dad has been in mine as well!
Many Blessings to You and all your Love Ones☺
P. S. Prior to having terminal cancer, I had an Organ Donor card for this very reason! I hope that your family and son’s story will remind EVERYONE just how fortunate they are to celebrate all the Christmases, New Years, birthdays, and even the “everyday” possibilities of a HUG or cup of coffee with our Love Ones…simply, because we can! I hope this does not offend you, as it’s meant as a blessing….I will keep your entire FAMILY in my prayers!
Take good care of yourself too! I remind my parents of this often! But, it is my darling, best friend of a mother, I have to continually remind most
I live about 40 minutes from London towards Windsor. London does have top notch hospitals. Hope all goes well for your son!
All honesty, some of the nicest people I’ve worked with. From welders to Doctors I’ve met some great Americans. I find there more put together somehow, you only notice when you talk to them and get to know them, seems like a common thing amongst the one I’ve got to know. The most polite by far have to be Texans, we had to laugh when 1 walked up and asked for some help lol guy had to be 8 feet tall and talked like it was Sunday service, great experience.
I think when a lot of us Canadians were young we were told 52 in relation to the number of states. I don't know why it happened but it did. Most of us now have been corrected at some point but don't care enough to make sure we adjust it. 50 and 52 are close enough together. We do know however the amount states is equal to the amount of stars on the flag, we just never bothered to count them.
as a Canadian, I was taught in elementary school it was 50 but I did witness my peers in my youth mixing it up due to having two states essentially separate from the main body of America (Alaska and Hawaii) and so they thought the main body had 50 and the others would make +2.
As a Canadian, I watched a lot of American TV. I could have answered all those questions.
Oh yes! Canada is better! I'm glad to have been born and raised here. 💖🍁💖
I am Canadian. I have over many years asked American family, friends and fellow travellers if they own a gun and if so, why?
Virtually everyone has answered yes and that the gun was for protection.
I can only speak for myself, but I would not live anywhere that I did not feel safe let alone feel the need to have gun for protection.
Very few Canadian that I have asked if they own a gun actually own one and those that do only own rifles for hunting.
Exactly. I have two. They're under lock and key. I don't want to open carry or conceal a gun on my person and I don't want anyone else to either. There are plenty of people carrying if you count police and armed guards. I cannot imagine walking around not knowing who is armed with what, when and why.
A gun is a non necessity in Canada, I would not even know where to go to buy a gun...
Yeah, as a Canadian gun owner I do NOT own them to protect myself against my fellow citizens. If I need to protect myself from my neighbor I'd be living in the wrong country.
Not only do we have fewer guns, you have to take a safety and firearms regulation training course to buy and own one. I don't know why anyone would require a handgun unless they associate with violent criminals. I find some of the gun hobbyists a tad sketchy tbh. Violent criminals are too busy going after each other to care about the average Canadian. I don't have problems with folks owning guns for hunting. If they have a handgun I want them to jump through all kinds of hoops to get one.
All that being said, that does not stop the illegal gun trade with folks smuggling guns in from the US. The mass shooting which occurred in Nova Scotia in 2020 by that disgusting skeezy nut occurred due to illegal weapons smuggled in from the US. He was banned from owning firearms and purchasing ammo in Canada.
@@isabelleblanchet3694 I inherited mine but if you take the hunter's safety course and get your acquisition license I think you buy a new one at outdoors shops. Bass pro shop for example.
Also, you have to understand that as Canadian's the majority of America that we really see is Hollywood, school shootings on the news, and what crazy shit happened in Florida. As a carpenter turning 30 this year I've had the privilege of meeting SO many people from all around the world, and people who have traveled the world. Not one of em had a bad thing to say about America, so while I used to think these same things I learned that I should hold my judgement till I see it myself. Looking forward to seeing a Coyotes game in Arizona someday soon.
The US isn't all about being a nice place to vacation. Few vacation spots provide much info on what its really like to make a life in that country, and what you have to deal with to survive. The real issues in the US are more about the political and economic struggles. Those with vested interests in wealth and a purely capitalist economy have elected representatives like Trump, who promise everyone will benefit from such things as significantly reduced taxes for the wealthy and large corporations, while stripping away hard fought for social programs and benefits. They play fast and loose with the truth, so they can pressure those overseeing a fair election to allow them to sway election results, then enact legislation that is targeted to make it harder for the disadvantaged and lower income voters to vote. (Because they certainly won't vote for them...)
Successful nations around the world have long ago discovered all your people benefit from a reasonable balance of capitalism with balanced social safety-net programs. People shouldn't go bankrupt (as many do in the US) because they had to pay a fortune for healthcare for a member of their family.
I am from Canada and the main reason I would move to the USA is for the weather, Canadian winter is harsh.
Maybe the border should be north to south, then we would have benefits of both and so would USA. lol
Same
I think, but clearly I may be wrong, that most Canadians know there are 50 states. The 52 number is likely because a lot of people aren't sure if Alaska and Hawaii are counted in there, or whether places like Puerto Rico or Guam are included. The one lady referred to treatment of Japanese, she is referring to the internment camps, but the US also had those and did same.
I mean they might know but my grandma and little sister tried to tell me I was wrong about the 50 states they tried to tell there was 51 or 52 but I mean I think most Canadians know that
I also think that we count our territories as provinces even if they are not... so to us it's 52... even if it's really 50 + 2 territories.
I should have read the comments before typing almost exactly the same reply
I personally think it more relates to all the jokes when someone says “the 51st state” like when referring to Canada or other places that aren’t actually states.. I know after hearing that joke so much when I was younger I started to get confused about the actual number as well. We know it’s 50 but when you’re put on the spot like that it’s easy to second guess yourself as well.
If the question was how many contiguous states are there, Canadians who don't totally trip on the word contiguous would probably correctly say 48. Then we add Hawaii and Alaska but do we add Puerto Rico? What about the District of Columbia, American Samoa, some will think of Guam or the U.S. Virgin Islands and I had to Google Northern Mariana Islands. Canadians have a different relationship with our three (formerly two) Northern Territories. We can find them on a map and we consider them Canadian. They're Federally administered but they are just as Canadian.
So it's not just Canadians that often think it's 52 states (or sometimes 51), alot of places in Europe and globally also think this. Doing some digging, the reason stems from the old list of states we used. It often listed the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico as well, which brought the number to 52. The 51 are lists that only included DC. Honestly even in school our lists included both for my lessons.
Oh and it's easy to remember Canada's first PM, John A. Macdonald. Not related to the fast food but still easy to recall because it's so famous.
I was taught 52 states....the tricky part was naming them, which we had to do
lol
Here is an easy way to remember how many states there are. Hawaii five 0 was so named because Hawaii which was the last state to join the US is the 50th state.
This honestly shocked me as a Canadian. I also thought it was very commonly known here that there are 50 states... I am a bit embarrassed on behalf of Canada lol
@@dk9174 yeah. Like how the hell does someone think there are 52 states. It is so engrained in popular culture that's practically impossible to not know
@@brendamiller5785 I think you got a point there
Tyler, I have to hand it to you. You are very fair in your assessments in 'all' videos you have done about Canada. You never let yourself lash back at a comment from a person in any video that most Americans wouldn't particularly like to hear. You seem like a real good guy to me. Thank you for the videos you produce, and keep up the great unbiased attitude. Best regards from western Canada (where God lives, speaking about the natural beauty).
AS a Canadian one thing in can tell you is we know more about AMerica better than most AMericans
Canadians are friendly but I think they also 'accept' friendliness more openly...I can walk down the street say hi to someone , talk w them, maybe buy them a coffee and hug them goodbye, and they wouldn't be offended(maybe now w Corona), in America if I did that they would think I'm a kook...I smile at every American when I'm down there and say cheers to each and every one and that alone is enough to inspire 'suspicion'...my GF says that soon they are going to put a sign just outside Texas just for me, reading ....'To all other Brits, please don't come here, we have one of you already, and we are still trying to cope...'
In my opinion, Americans in general are ignorant about the rest of the world. They're told since kindergarten that they're the best country in the world. They consider themselves better than everyone else. I'm well traveled and the subject quite comes up with ppl I've met over the yrs. America is truly not liked at all. I have been advised over the ys to sew a Canadian flag on my backpack to differentiate me from an American so to avoid conflict. Sry but that's really what the world thinks about America.
Hugs might be a problem but "Cheers!" and a smile will earn you a big "Hi!" a smile and in most cases a pause in walking that indicates we have time to chat if you're willing. As long as you don't mind the small talk starting with the question "where are you from?" hundreds of times you could really talk to Canadians all day.
No gurl many of us would look at you weird here in Canada too. Depends on where you are.
I’m Canadian and I would be scared if some stranger came at me to hug me!
Awesome on your husband, though!
I don’t hug people off the hop I say hi and stop and talk buy them a coffee and when I’m done hug them goodbye. I don’t invade peoples personal space unless ‘invited in’
I vowed 30 years ago never to go back to the states after having everyone I met except a teenager working in macdonalds be extremely rude. If a few more of them were like Tyler, i may have gone back.
You sound like a simpleton
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving Tyler, and all Americans out there!
May it be a peaceful one for you.
I am a maritimer who moved to the US in 1991. I now live off grid in Arizona. Thanks to a successful youtube channel and social security and CPP I am financially ok. I love that today I took a shower in my outdoor shower and its Dec 10. I will always have a Canadian worldview and am still a canadian citizen. I have no desire to become an American citizen but of course pay taxes and act responsibly in my American home. I don't miss the gloomy canadian winters one iota.
Hey Tyler, She did say she was from Montreal which is the 2nd biggest city in Canada. Of course, the population is nowhere near the US major cities. But Montreal does rank 19th biggest city in North America. So if she feels safer in Montreal, that is huge.
Montreal with a pop of 1,8 million....3.5 Million in the metro area averages 25 murders a year
I challenge any american city of about the same size to these numbers
I live in Montréal, a city of approx 3 million people, and for the most part, it is very safe.
I am a Canadian who was raised less than an hour away from Detroit, MI. Growing up we saw many American tourists visit our area. I even got to hang out during the summer with some of the kids who came our way on vacation during the summer. I didn’t see much difference in our two countries until I was well into my teens and going to rock concerts over in Detroit. Those differences set the tone of my perception of Americans for many years. Fast forward through my life and I have lived in both countries due to my husbands job (he was in mining). I have lived in multiple Provinces and 2 different U.S. States (Missouri 7 years and Texas 2 years) and had the opportunity to visit many more. My honest opinion of the USA is that there are many lovely people there, and some bad. You find the same here in Canada. I found prejudice to be more “in your face” in the US, where as in Canada it is more of an undercurrent. Health Care in the US was a real pain in the patoot for me (I guess you could say I was spoiled with the Canadian Health Care System where everyone has equal access to healthcare professionals). I agree that the US has more opportunities of businesses to compete on the world stage. And that very thing is the reason Canada has a shortage in certain sectors… it’s called “the brain drain”. We loose doctors, nurses, business professionals, scientist, and our software techs to the US constantly. I was OK living in the US, but never felt like I fit in. I am happier living back in Canada.
I lived in the USA for 9 years and received two degrees from American Universities. I have some great American friends who treated me so well.
Spot on the ''the brain drain'', so many opportunities in the u.s of a. It's a shame but money talks right?
be glad you didn't live in Windsor then. the down town was nothing more then a bunch of pre-21 Americans getting drunk picking fights up till the smoking ban.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
If you want to find any technology you can find it in the USA. Many Canadian advancements end up bought by USA industry and then produced in the USA only (not produced in Canada then) because USA is the bigger market.
I just gotta say thanks for putting my home, Niagara Falls, on display. Nothing can beat the view from our side. Thanks also for taking the time to learn about our home 🫶🏽
As a Canadian, I do feel, I’ll be honest, I take Canada’s side, but I know we have SO many problems too. I have relatives in America, and they’re really nice. I never had been in a dangerous situation when I visit. No countries are perfect, but in terms of people, I know there’s a lot of nice Americans and nice Canadians, but also some bad. I still like to pretend we have a small tension, but deep down I love you guys down south❤
I was working in Japan once, and my roommate was Canadian. I had to ask him if he was really Canadian since I never heard him say, "aboot" lol.
Ur gonna make my heart light up as an American 😢
@@TotemoGaijin 🤣🤣
Taxes for healthcare in Canada is often misunderstood in the US. Prices for procedures (paid by the government to doctors/hospitals) are set much lower in Canada whereas in the US the hospitals/organizations are driven by profit to charge as much as they can. The private US insurance agencies are overly complex and are driven by profit to charge as much as they can and refuse as much as they can. The simpler Canadian system saves large amounts of money and reduces stress at the time people are at their most vulnerable. It also saves lives (kind of the point of healthcare).
Ironically, American hospitals typically only charge outrageous fees if you have private insurance, and those fees are paid mostly by your insurance company. If you tell them you will be paying cash, they actually have a separate billing structure and charge a lot less. This is because the American health insurance market is insanely distorted by the many layers of bureaucracy that have been crammed into the law over the decades, starting with the WWII-era price and wage controls where employers asked the government to allow them to compete for employees by using health benefits since they couldn't use wages anymore, which is when health insurance first got all tied up with employment. Then the layers of legislation which were added on subsequently drove up costs, then added in a clause where if a person declares bankruptcy to escape medical debt, the government won't pay for it, and they're not allowed to put that cost on the uninsured, so the cost ends up getting passed on to the insured.
I'd rather keep my taxes and pay myself so I can choose my doctor and care. Our Healthcare system is seriously flawed here

I am very well acquainted with the health care system. Though I am extremely grateful that I live in Canada compared to most other countries in the world because we have some of the best doctors, facilities, equipment, and drugs, (and I am truly greatful for that, however) the system itself is extremely inefficient and sometimes even exacerbating problems. I won't go too much into my personal experiences but we can
Just look at how our govt and Healthcare dealt with c19: instead of recommending people go outside in the UV light, getting some vit D and exercising, boosting their immune health, they told everyone to stay home, they shut down gyms and even taped up playgrounds at one point, and then they taped off seeds, shoes and clothing, but chips and chocolate were all available as essential goods?? in the name of Public Health and Safety? Then literally segregating people based on a personal medical decision.
Thats just one blatant example of how the govt is not going to prioritize our health and wellbeing.
We pay *a lot* in taxes, and then often end up having to pay a portion of medications and some things aren't even covered so you have to pay the full amount for those things anyways.
We are definitely lucky to live in such a developed nation, I cant argue that. But I also know there are some serious flaws the way things are currently.
@@jetstream6389 oh.. I'm Canadian lol..
there's no doctors available if you want to switch. Years long wait lists for practically everything. We pay a lot in taxes but we still have to pay a portion or even all of certain medications that aren't covered. Neither are naturopathic doctors, if you want some help for your health without drugs. Yes we do have some of the best doctors, facilities, equipment and medications but the system itself is flawed. Do you have a lot of experience with our Healthcare system? You can probably tell by my comment that my personal experiences have been pretty negative.
I heard the results of a study done a couple of years ago, and I forget the percentages, but it looked at how many people move from the bottom fifth of income (born into the bottom 20%) and work their way into the top fifth in their careers (highest 20% of income earners) and it found that you are more likely to achieve “the American dream” in Canada by a factor of two. I could be wrong, but I think the percentage of Americans that pull it off is around 6% and Canadians was around 11%. Something like that… We could therefore rename it “the Canadian dream” lol
This is true, but the gap between the top and bottom 20% is far larger in the US. There are other factors to consider in that stat

Basically, if you want to get to the highest level of success, you pretty much have to do it in the US, but you have a higher chance to break out of the lower and middle classes and into the upper class in Canada.
Some people in this video may have only become Canadian in the last 10 years say. I think those of us that had families that immigrated here 150 plus years ago just have more education about north America in general. I learned all this in school. Not only did i need to know the name of all 50 states but i needed to know the capital. That was grade 9 i believe. Now in my mid 30s I've been to at least 25 of the 50 states.
Im Canadian and was %1000 taught about how our country had a lot of Chinese and Japanese slaves working in coal mines around that time, and I learnt that in juniour high (middle schoo) and we had to watch documentaries on it.
Also was taught a LOT in highschool how the British and French hurt the natives.
As a Canadian who lived in the US for 12 years, I was happy to return to Canada. There are many great things about the U.S. but for me it was difficult living in a country that has so many guns. The thinking that everyone has the right to own weapons boggles the mind. I feel so much safer in Canada, not that there isn’t crime in Canada.
enjoy your oppression
@@wcam7822 What oppression are you talking about? There's a different culture here towards guns - we're not fanatical about them.

@ Carol Maurizio......you must live in a different Canada then me!!!
yeah in canada its mostly just brute weapons like baseball bats crowbars brass knuckles and other kinda stabby type items such as knife machete bayonet shives ,but the amount of guns here is much much lower in canada but none the less there are still firearms in canada but you need a pal. (PAL) enables a licence holder to possess and use firearms in Canada. but you probably already know
Many of have travelled in the States. But Canada has so many unique regions, I'd rather tour my own country.
I would like to see the Arizona desert, and the Grand Canyon, and New Orleans. And Montezuma's Castle....that is around the GC somewhere isn't it?!....Canadian learning here. Yellowstone is also amazing but kind of scary. I would like to see that mountain that looks like a big old tree stump....where is that? lol. I would like to tour a guilded age estate. I would like to visit the Alamo. Tombstone..
That's what Americans think too, such a varied and vast country they might as well just buy a bus sized motorhome and stick within the continental US and Alaska.
I bought my last truck with 180,000kms on it from a man who bought it specifically for towing a trailer to travel the USA while retired.
@@trishtv8310 the mountain is Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. They used it in Close Encounters of the Third Kind
@@patrickw123 See, I too am learning and growing here....and yes I want to go to Wyoming and see that crazy wonderful mountain!!! Thank you!
As a person from southern Alberta 🇨🇦 you couldn’t pay me enough to live in the USA either. But it’s honestly getting to the point where I don’t want to live in Canada anymore either lol 😂 that guy was right, we need a lot of changes. Also Canada has a lot of history that it ignores and a lot of countries would have no idea..
The World Health Organization actually praised Canada as a world example for handling the vaccination rollout. We we're also one of the first countries to get 80% of the population vaccinated.
Well, that's because many people were forced to get vaccinated in order to keep their jobs.
Being born and raised in 🇨🇦 My Main issue is… I don’t want to live in a Country that allows 18 yr to own AR 15!
But Canadians can own semi automatic hunting rifles at 18 which are very similar to the ar. It's just that the ar is black and mean looking, it's no more or less dangerous.
@@sl0ptartwe still have to pass a test to buy a simple hunting gun, US is just like, i decided today that I’m going down to Walmart to buy my first gun
You do. Canada has different laws regarding owning weapons though. An AR 15 is basically a mean looking hunting rifle. AK47... Different thing if that is what is coming to mind.
@@laurieleannie mean looking hunting rifle huh.... thats a very American way to downplay your gun control issues.
It's not a hunting rifle in any way, the base platform is an assault style weapon generally with a medium sized barel that isn't optimal for hunting or range. It's quite literally a semi automatic assault rifle, don't downplay the issue. There's no reason to own something like that.
As the other folks have said, it's a great misconception about how difficult it is to obtain firearms in Canada. I'm a retired police officer and I can advise that it is very easy indeed. Also, many Canadian homes have multiple firearms in them. Handgun ownership is a little more complicated but the fact is you can carry a locked rifle around in the trunk of your vehicle any time of year in Canada, and you will not be breaking the law. I'm not personally a fan of guns, and I suspect many Americans feel the same.
Canada is far from perfect, but one gripe I'd say we have is how tired we are to hear Americans call their country "land of the free" and president "leader of the free world" when Canada and most developed countries have more freedoms than the US and we're progressing rights, not regressing like the US. The US is doing poorly on LGBTQIA and women's rights, for example, and incarcerates the most of its own citizens for what essentially amounts to slave labour. Maternal mortality rates are also closer to those in 3rd world countries.
I never understood the thing about the alphabet gang and women rights thing. Don't we all have basic human rights? When did trans and women lose them?
Advancing freedoms for “the alphabet gang” has gotten to an extreme place in Canada. Check out the male high school teacher in Oakville Ontario with the enormous prosthetic breasts and tell me this is progress. Insanity is more like it!
@@valerieeves4557 If you get enormous breast implants, why should I care? You do you. Everyone is free to do what they want as long as they don't hurt anyone. And hate and misinformation hurt people, Valerie.
I love the 'Leader of the free world' thing. Ukraine is in the free world last time i checked. So where is the "Leader"?
The NFL & NBA put "World Champions" on their Trophies & Rings. Leagues of ONE country,who only play in that country.
I dont think its because they're all stupid,just that they're mostly ignorant & uneducated.

More people have a better and more free life on Canada. 71 years old, born and raised in Canada. Not rich but own our home, 4 bedroom 2 bath side split, large backyard. No problem buying groceries, and no we are not wealthy. I am so appreciative that I was born here.
I am a proud Canadian but very glad to be best friends with Americans.
Travelled in both countries. Common courtesy is much more common and expected in Canada which makes for very pleasant travels.
That is just bullshit
@@Veggamattic Ah, you must be from the US.
@@treegreen941 No.
The only thing I find any different (and I am the type to really objectively look) is the fact that many American just say "uh huh" instead of "your welcome", when you say thank you.
@@treegreen941 It's also very regional...for example Southerners and Californians are definitely more friendly than Quebecers and Torontonians.
They are asking a lot of people who haven't lived in Canada long enough to absorb common knowledge from our neighbour. That's like anybody moving into another city and being asked common things about the city when they haven't been there long enough to answer every question correctly compared to long term residents.
Yes, many have accents.
@@susieq9801 having an accent doesn’t necessarily mean a person is new to the country. My dad is 90, immigrated here when he was 18. He still has a Greek accent.

Tyler, one thing you may want to research about Canada is our Winter celebrations. One of the biggest is in Quebec City, called "Carnival". It runs for 10 days of fun and is hosted by the lovable Bonhomme. Cheers!!!
I'm really surprised that our strict gun-control laws didn't come up. Last week an American asked a question in my large-ish city's subReddit -- he's moving here with family, wanted to know how often we have active shooter drills in schools? Everyone was like, "...Huh?" We have earthquake drills (west coast) but the whole concept of regular school shootings is completely alien and horrifying. (We had one bad one but it was a university in 1989. We have a moment of silence every year but no one says his name.)
There's the Dawson one as well. But it is true that it's an abnormality.
having to jump through just a few hoops to own firearms saves so, so, SOOO many lives. Interview at a police precinct, PAL license, restrictions on carrying and transporting, limits and restrictions on type, not allowed to use them as self defense tools, boom automatic humongous reduction in statistics, like. every. other. country.
edit - added huge or bigger mandatory minimums for just having them, you want to do 10 years in prison for just having it in your glove box? I didnt think so. hyperbole but you get the point.
I could never feel safe living in a country where so many people have handguns and feel they need them. A few statistics...Since 2013 in the US there have 604 mass shootings and 34 mass murders. 290 childen aged 0 to 11 have killed and 603 injured by gun violence. And 1211 teens aged 12 to17 have been killed by guns while 3393 teens have been injured. Source: gunviolencearchive.org
Compared to many other countries, our gun control laws really aren't that strict.
School shootings weren't that many when I was growing up. That changed after Columbine.
I'm enjoying the interviews and your own reactions!
I am Canadian I love to visit states so many beautiful places
Beer might be cheaper in the states but Canadian beer is 100% better

F*cking close to water!

Most of us in Canada know who Martin Luther King Jr. my age group learned some American history too
I went to New York and Philadelphia and loved both of them. I got off the bus in Hell's Kitchen. I was greeted with the aid of a young man late 20s or so who helped me carry up my luggage. It was awesome. It was my first impression of New York. However, I didn't get the chance to eat out until I went to Philly. I got a pretty good laugh when I asked for vinegar and ketchup for my fries..lol They looked at me like I was insane... too funny.
All in all. I loved what I saw and enjoyed everyone I met.
When I was a kid, a man came up from the USA during a heat wave.. He was looking for snow, a person asked me if the roads were payed and every American I met, said, they didn't know much about Canada
Most hockey fans know both anthems...it heartwarming look up canadians sing american anthem at hockey game and vice versa. Its great
One thing i've noticed as a Canadian we don't really say "America" when refering to the United States, but rather "The states" or "The Us". Most of the Canadians in this video say "The States."
That’s because America is actually Canada, USA, Mexico and that makes up North America. They kind of confuse the country with the continent, lol
Canadians are Americans (the continent) too.
Its weird to call them americans as if we aren't included under that title as well.
@@sibergirl2645 wasent referring to the name “Americans” rather the name of the country
@@sibergirl2645 do you typically refer to yourself as American or Canadian? How about Mexican citizens, how do they refer to themselves, as American or Mexican? Do you know of any other citizens of countries in Central or
South America that refer to themselves as Americans? Your southern neighbor is the United States of America. Should we call ourselves USians or something instead of just Americans? It’s in our country name and usually when referring to nationality some part of the nation’s name is used.
@@movehandslikeclouds It would be accurate to refer to myself as American, but I can't do so without much confusion so I find the hoarding or our continent's name to be frustrating to be honest.
I’m back. Kenny from Toronto here. Let me just say WOW! Look, I’m not trying to toot my own horn here, but this video really helped solidify my confidence in the fact that I am in fact an educated person in history, law and both Canadian and American politics. I’m actually embarrassed at the lack of knowledge that these Canadians displayed in this video! Like…seriously! Again, I don’t mean to sound like a cocky asshole, but for ME, this was all just common knowledge and these people were STRUGGLING! Good Lord!
Being Canadian is about survival. We could not have inhabited such a vast and dangerous land without the help of others. we needed to stick together in those harsh winters most people will never see again. Snow seven months a year...Blazing heat for six weeks. People were drawn to this land and, by necessity, became Canadian.
On CZcams check out Rick Mercer Talking to Americans. I live in a border city, I can go across the border to go to concerts, sports events, shopping but I am always glad to come back home. I am always cognizant of my surroundings and people over there. I feel much safer in Canada even though I have never experienced anything bad.
I'm going to be a Canadian who is willing to list some cons of living in Canada. Some of the biggest cons to me are that it gets really cold in most parts of the country, it can be very difficult to travel between cities unless you have a driver's license because many of our major cities are spread out over great distances and air travel is not cheap. We don't have any high-speed methods of travel like high-speed trains, housing prices are incredibly high and inventory is low, taxes are higher than the US, but I think most Canadians would agree it's worth it because we don't have to pay out of pocket for most Healthcare services. And lastly, our Healthcare system can come with some major delays, but it is all triaged based on severity so you're not going to die having a heart attack while waiting for care in an emergency room, but if you have a less severe problem you could be waiting for hours before you see a Physician and may have a difficult time finding a Family Physician as we do have a shortage.
Housing prices are high because there is demand. Meaning people want to live here, not elsewhere. Just wait till you have a mortgage and its on a home where there is NO demand. Talk about money circling the drain.
I'm glad you said "really cold in most parts of the country" because where I live (Victoria) we get maybe 2 weeks of snow a year, and we have palm trees. I lived for years in the Okanagan Valley where it always gets up to 40°C (104°F) in the summer, being semi-desert. I moved away because it was too hot.
@@imisstoronto3121 If the home is in a NO demand area it's asking price is going to be much lower. It's all relevant
according to the 2022 survey on happiness , Finland is in the top position in the world happiness report in 2022. Followed by Denmark and Iceland in second and third place. Switzerland, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, Israel and New Zealand, were among the top 10 'happiest are the happiest countries in the world . Canada is not at the top . So the snow , the cold are not a good raeson for complaining about canadian winter. What makes the differences are social support ( education, health, housing, identity ) the culture ( history, values, principale )and the quality of life( joie de vivre, food, outdoors, retirement and families) . In Finland there is no daylight for almost 3 months per year( May to August per year ). The cost of living in toronto and Vancouver are the highest because of wealthy immigrants from Asia and since immigration works by bringing friends and family to Canada they often live in ghettos or share a house or apt.
It's not accurate to say you won't die waiting for care. Thousands of Canadians die on waiting lists ever year, and even if they don't die, the wait times can allow conditions to worsen and result in a drastically reduced quality of life. Wait times aren't always just a harmless inconvenience, and the triage system isn't working so well if it takes so long to get to the non-urgent patients that some of them end up becoming urgent or de@d.
Martin Luether King Jr. was very important to Canadians as the Freedom fighters and the movement affected Canadians and began to inspire Change here in Canada too. Canada was also very
involved in American History as they helped free slaves and those on the run through the Underground railway. Some took refuge in a church and under the floor boards just blocks away from my current house so they wouldn’t be found. From there they fled to Amhurstburg and other towns in southern Ontario. We study American History here in our schools as well as our own because in some cases they intertwine. plus if you live in a boarder city like I do you naturally learned more about the US when I was younger because we received American TV channels and news broadcast back in the 50’s right up till now. Once people started to get home computers and the internet then things changed rapidly because so much information was available. Also since we are Allies there was constant involvement with each other’s military. Desert Storm is a perfect example of that. I have many American relatives as my grandmothers sister married an American and we often were in the US. It helped when years ago you could walk across the Ambassador Bridge at one time to go from Windsor Ontario to Detroit and vice versa. Our nations have the longest boarder between two countries and have gotten along for years. One of the Best Stories comes from the plane People who landed in Gander Newfoundland during 911. Canada opened their hearts, homes, and community to Americans who were stranded when all the planes were grounded immediately. Canada and the United States have a unique relationship even though we have cultural differences. I love watching your video’s though because we can learn so much from each other by respectfully discussing our similarities and differences. Just for fun, many Canadians know the words to the Star Spangled Banner because of Sporting events. Canada’s favourite sport, Hockey’ will always play both countries anthems if they are playing an American Team. To not do so would be considered rude and even disrespectful to their guests. Oh, just so you know a little more history from Canada our first Prime Minister was Sir John A MacDonald. Lol Thanks for these video’s, keep up the great work
I’m a Canadian who would give anything to live in America ( where it’s warm)I hate the cold.
But I like our free health care.
It’s also very expensive to travel in Canada.
Canadian here although living in the USA for years now. I think both countries are great✌️. They both have they're fair share of issues and they have great things about both countries. Both countries have been good to me. I have family in both countries. Love and peace to Canada and USA
The best thing about Canadian health care is we don't lose it when we switch jobs. I'm in Alberta. As long as I have my health care card, I can still get medical care, and the only things I really care about the cost are dental and optical.
vote out the PC's then, they want to privatize it.
Tyler, I am really enjoying your videos. Love your approach and I hope that some of our American neighbours are learning from you. I am leaning things too. from a proud 7th generation CANADIAN eh!
Good one check out to Rick Mercier talking to America's
US vs Canada: Canadian finding someone on their lawn "Can I help you?" American: "Get the F!#k off my property!"
not even close
Canadian's generally learn about America in school. People not knowing basic American geography that are from Canada simply didn't pay attention. Let's just say we are both lucky to live in North America and not have to deal with severe poverty or war. These guys asking questions is truly a freedom.
I just want to say, I love Tyler❣️ Such a sweet, thoughtful and “balanced guy”. He should come to visit. I recommend Quebec City. So beautiful and different. If you go to Alberta, skip the big cities and go to Banff. I’m in Saskatoon Saskatchewan where it’s quite beautiful, especially in the summer. Our northern lakes are beautiful here like the rest of Canada. 🇨🇦 ps…Dems welcome!
I find it funny that many Americans know little if any of the War of 1812, even though their national anthem was written during the conflict. :)
Canada's first Prime Minister was Sir John A MacDonald
You need to see Canadian comedian Rick Mercer's Talking to Americans. Comedy gold.
Yes, with regards to starting any type of business here in Canada, the red tape is HUGE!
We used to be taught a lot about USA in school;50 states people!
I love my American friends and family. Though no longer talk about politics with friends. We are on opposite sides completely!
I'm also a very proud Canadian.
Martin Luther King Jr. Is pretty big in World History and helped change the world not just One country. His influence and the influence of the rest of the civil rights movement had an effect on the hearts and minds of many. Especially those of colour in all kinds of states the world over
I think that because Puerto Rico is part of the US, we often think of it as a State...same with Washington DC...hence why the numbers can be 51 and 52
I traveled from Vancouver to LA and went to the Grand Canyon and the Badlands and Month Rushmore. Started from Montreal to Vancouver. Month Rushmore to Montreal was "normal" BUT, i had as much fun traveling in the US than i had in the rocky mountains in Canada. The Grand Canyon is spectacular and had a great encounter in Santa Monica, spent a night there with a french canadian mother and her american family, that was awesome. USA is magnificent, probably much more diversified than Canada in term of landscapes and wildlife. Yes if you get crippled it can ruin you in the states but if you have relatively no injuries in your life and don't really need healthcare, it's about the same price with taxes as if you had an insurance south of the border. And ya, a lot of brains from Canada goes in the US because of opportunities.
I live in a small town with a pretty close knit community and a "support local" mentality. My husband started his small business from the ground up and is successful because of his helpful nature and the local support. At first I helped to pay for all our household bills, and now he is able to support us and I can change jobs whenever I want. We have an affordable home and 2 cars.
We stay away from drama, go out to eat whenever we want, see our friends often, and there are lots of free or affordable activities we can do.
Now we're expecting and have no worries about financial burdens and I am able to take a year of paid maternity leave based on the hours I have already worked this year.
To me, that's pretty darn free and I don't see how it can get better than that. 🇨🇦
in Canada, we have the mandela effect on the number of states because of how it is taught in primary school. "There are 50 states in the U.S.A. and Alaska and Hawaii are the last 2 states that were added" So people kind of half remember the lesson and go 50+2=52.
Yes!! That's what happened in my head.
Personally I think it's because people confuse the amount of states with a deck of cards 😂
@@meggggg And of course the Joker is Washington DC ♥️😁♥️
I am Canadian and a little surprised that more people did not know there are 50 states in America.
As a Canadian, with the how many US states are there, you’d genuinely be surprised how common the number 52 would be said by the average person. I think most Canadians would still be in the ball park (around 50), which I would imagine would be better than the average American, but I wouldnt be surprised if majority of people did say 52 (probably 50/50 with some outliers), even with a larger sample size
I was in hospital 3 times in 18 months for a heart attack, stomach ulsers and 3 brain hemhorrages and it cost me nothing out of pocket. If I was in America Id be paying for that for the rest of my life.

With Newfoundland's own terrific comedian and proud Canadian, Rick Mercer!
We learn about the United States in school like not just basic stuff, we know how many states, we know landmarks, we know facts about their sports, we know historical people. It’s just that eventually we forget lol but it is 100% taught in school in Canada
As a Canadian Brit, living around Montreal for the last 12 years, and with some good friends in America, the best way I can describe Canada is to say it is what America should have been. Does that make sense to you all?
Hey Tyler, do you know what the word "Spangled" means? Also, during a Toronto Maple Leaf's hockey game, the PA system went out and the crowd continued to finish the American National Anthem. - czcams.com/video/mHSaHRd4Q48/video.html
Love this! Sooo Canadian!
and there you have the real reason Canadians know the American anthem. Both are played at the beginning of every hockey game when the visiting team is American based. Watch enough hockey, and you absorb the tune and words. I would also suggest more canadians know the american anthem, than they know the french version of the Canadian anthem.

Oh my polite American friend, if you only knew what Canadians really think of Americans you probably wouldn't like it. I would NEVER include YOU in this because you are probably the most respectful American I have ever met. And to be fair, I have met more polite Americans than rude ones.

I would think most people everywhere know Martin Luther King Jr. ! Every once in a while I read his " I have a dream " speech . I like to hear him say it, but I also like reading it myself. Sometimes I read it out loud. The words are so powerful. Almost 60 years later, it still packs a punch.
