Canada actually won the gold medal for hockey at the 2010 Olympics, beating the USA 3-2. As others have pointed out, the riot in Vancouver over a hockey game was when the Vancouver Canucks lost game 7 of the Stanley Cup final to the Boston Bruins in June of 2011, some 16 months after the 2010 Winter Olympics. There have been seven other riots in Canadian cities following hockey games.
Yep, hockey riots have probably been the most common type of riot here in Canada since the end of conscription. Oddly, we can riot both in anger at a loss or in wild celebration of a win. I remember some friends of mine having a heck of a time trying to avoid get caught up in a hockey riot in Montreal during the 1990s (IIRC).
Was it? I mean, you could just have a conversation where both parties respect each other's time and give the other person time to speak and say their peace. You don't have to get violent.
Bagged cereal is usually a generic brand that will be significantly less expensive than name brands and placed on bottom shelves. That's why we typically refer to "top shelf" items as the "good" stuff in the US.
It's the same here in Canada. The generic,no-name cereal brands might come in bags, but a the name brand cereals are only in boxed. And you can get milk in cartons and plastic jugs,as well as bags.
Fact: boxed and bagged cereal comes from the same plant. Meaning, it's literally the same cereal. It's a mind thing, making us think the boxed stuff is better quality.
Access to a good and reliable information is what we CZcamsrs needs to progress in life more especially in financial terms.If you've started trading with this man , then believe me you are not far from making profits đ
@@angrysapper83 that's true, but the cereal in boxes is less likely to be crushed. The cereal in bags with no protective box is more likely to be crushed, smashed, pulverized, etc. so it is less expensive because the product may be slightly damaged.
âRiots in Canadaâđđđactually Japan too. we also say sorry sooooo often. I come to think that our personalities might have some similarities with Canadiansđ€
@@AngelA-qi1br Me either! I only heard of it a few years ago and was lucky to try them from my Canadian friend. If you have a chance definitely try them! đ
Florida here, we got hurricane days. We did get a snow day years ago, because our city didnât have any snow equipment to clear the roads. Lived here 40 years, that happened once.
Sydney is a great addition! I finally feel represented as a Canadian haha. Anyhow, just wanted to add my two cents. Keep up the good work everyone and have a wonderful day.
Btw, to Christina, I live in Maine. Just like Mass, we walked to school in 6 feet of snow. Only time we had no school, was when there was no electricity.
You know Canadians and Americans are complementary neighbours when one of them got bagged cereals and the other one got bagged milk. A marriage that need to happen.
Snow days are just going to be more common in areas that don't usually get a lot of snow because (surprise!) those areas don't have teams of snow plows standing by every night. So on the few times a year when they get a bit of snow it actually is more of a problem than it would be farther north.
@@alvallac2171I bet the reason Americans canât handle ice roads are because they donât even have winter tires. Trust me if we didnât use winter tires in Canada we would always have snow days because summer tires on ice roads is the best way to die
Growing up in Kitchener, ON, I remember having snow days often. As an adult, workplaces might tell their workers if its especially snowy not to come in, but so rarely were there snow days for workers, but schools always.
I'm in Toronto & I have NEVER in my life seen cereal in bags - except more expensive granola cereal in tiny expensive style bags.- just the same as Sydney in the video.
Fun show. Mostly the cereal in bags is for bulk buyers who consume a LOT of cereal. I have never seen cereal stored in jugs, but it actually is a smart idea so you can see the cereal, and it would stay fresh longer. More meme shows!
Funnily enough we have cereal in bags in the Netherlands as well, but typically they are the same size or smaller than boxed cereal for companies to have more cost effective packaging with the added bonus of pretending to have lower carbon and ecological footprint.
I have a weird memory from like late 80s finland of some regular cereal boxes and then a kellogg's corn flakes bag that was like a pillow case. nowadays there's some generic brands that come in regular sized bag but the jumbo sizes seem to have disappeared
You should get a Newfoundlander on here. We have a very distinct dialect despite being a part of Canada. Like a cross between Canadian, British and Irish English. Love these videos!
When I was a kid I lived in a place in the mountains of Norway where if the temperature dropped below -18C (just about 0F) the kids were allowed to stay indoors during recess, if they wanted to. That was our version of snow days.
Love these videos, they help improve cultural literacy. I also love the fact that everyone seems to be genuinely engaged and interested in sharing their thoughts and experiences.
Here from Wisconsin. We didn't get snow days really either. Only on super rare occasion when we'd get a sudden absurd snowstorm, but these days you don't see that kind of snowfall anymore.

Guns are not illegal in Canada. There are a lot of firearms legally owned in Canada. There are restricted and prohibited firearms. The AR-15 platform currently falls into the prohibited category. Handguns are generally in the restricted category though handguns with barrels under a specified length are prohibited.
I don't know about other parts of Canada but in quebec you need to go attend a class and have an exam to have the license to possess firearms legally or purchase some.
@@nieldoenn711 That is not restricted to Quebec. It is FEDERAL law that requires you to pass the Canadian Firearms Safety Course in order to obtain a Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) that allows you to possess and purchase a firearm.
@@nieldoenn711 The primary difference between Quebec and other provinces when it comes to the law is that Quebec uses civil law rather than English common law for law involving relations between individuals, such as contract law. The division of legislative powers is provided in the Constitution Act, 1867. Criminal law falls under federal authority so the likes of firearms possession is a federal responsibility. Just as whether or not Cannabis would be legal to possess was a federal determination and not a provincial one.
There are a lot of gun restrictions in the US. The AR-15 (semi-automatic rifle) is legal, but the M-16 or M-4 (capable of automatic fire) are not legal to build for civilians - not even for export. Sale of any gun capable of automatic fire has been outlawed for the general public since 1934, and manufacture of such weapons has been completely outlawed since the 1980s. While it is technically possible for a citizen to own one, it is an extremely expensive, long, and intensive process to apply and you must sacrifice some of your Constitutional rights (such as freedom from searches and seizures of your home and private effects) as long as you hold the special exemption. The weird thing about most attempts at banning the AR-15 in the US is that most people have no idea what they are actually trying to ban. The Assault Weapon Ban of 1994 made the AR-15 illegal until it expired in 2004, but the M-1 Garand (the main battle rifle used by US troops in WWII) was still legal because the ban went after cosmetic features that didn't fundamentally change the function of the weapon. States have even more rules, depending on the type of firearm and how you want to carry it, and they aren't consistent. In Vermont, if you want to carry a pistol (openly or concealed) you're fine. In New York, it would take an act of God (or being extremely wealthy and politically connected) to possess a handgun outside your home. If you are legally carrying a firearm in Vermont, mistakenly cross a bridge into New York and get pulled over for a traffic infraction, you WILL be arrested and could spend years in prison.
Living in Utah, USA, growing up I never had a snow day. But it also depends on where in Utah. My kids have had 1 snow day, living in the city where I grew up, but my sister's kids have had more snow days living in town in Utah.
I think the snow day situation varies from province to province, and region to region. Even within the GTA and neighbouring/outskirt towns, one school board could have called a snow day and the next one over kept it as a school day on the same snowy day. It has to do with the road conditions and how safe it is for those who need to drive to school. Sometimes, it could be a bus closure day yet schools remain open. If you live close enough, your children may need to attend school nonetheless despite them being the rare few in school that day. I am more used to âsorryâ being pronounced âsore-yâ. Bagged milks are definitely an Ontario signature. I didnât even know it wasnât common throughout the country until I became an adult. đ bagged cereals are available too. More like by a generic/no name brand. Walmart usually carries them.
On the snowy day thing, I'm from Canada but I moved to the US for 2 years, I went on Christmas break which was expected to be a week but turned out to be almost 2 months because of snow days.
That's the most common Canadian variation (and fairly typical of a Canadian Standard urban accent) but it isn't universal. My own pronunciation is closer to saw-ree with less stress on that first syllable (Quebec English accent with eastern Ontario influences).
I KNOW THAT ANNOYED ME SO MUCH. Every Canadian Iâve heard says âsore-yâ Americans NEVER say âsore-yâ Americans say âSORRYâ (small o sound)
Lol why do people find it strange to see bagged cereal? You do know that all cereal comes in bags. Some just are inside a cardboard box like most branded cereals.
Even then, the bagged cereal is typically just for really large quantities that would be awkward to make a box for. It's there for when you need a 4 pound bag or something, like if you're buying for a group or want it to last a while. Normal size bags exists, but it's not really common.
For the Kinder Eggs, there are actually two types. The first one, Kinder Surprise is what is illegal Stateside. Years later they redesigned them as Kinder Joy, and those are sold not only in the U.S, but Canada as well. Canada gets them both, actually. The difference is in how they're packaged, with the Kinder Surprise being a chocolate shell with the toy in the middle, where in the Kinder Joy, the toy is on the outside, and the chocolate is different, with two rocher-like balls.
Oh really, this is the reason for Kinder Joy? Makes sense, I always just assumed that Kinder Joy was designed for summer as the creme doesn't melt as easy as the normal chocolate egg does. And if I remember correctly Kinder Joy was only available in summer time, at least around 8-10 years ago. It's been quite a while since I had my last Kinder surprise đ
I'll also point out that the ban on Kinder Surprise isn't specific to Kinder Surprise. It's an older rule banning a "non-nutritive object embedded" in a food. To the best of my knowledge, in the years that Kinder Eggs have been available, only a handful of children have choked on the Kinder you, and it was after it has already been separated from the chocolate.
6:20 Guns are legal in Canada, but subject to much more restrictions (e.g. qualification, ownership and use) than the US. Some guns are straight out illegal (e.g. guns with full automatic capability).
When the French Olympic skating judge screwed the Canadian pair. I thought of US/Canada in familial terms. Bri bro & younger sister; we can pick on each other, but if somebody else messes with either one, watch out for the backlash.
It was -40C out and a blizzard was raging out. Our social teacher was like, "In Canada, there'll never be a snow day, not once did I have one in and there won't be one today."
I have a feeling that the "sorry" pronunciation is where you live in the country. Further East, in Canada, we say sorry with a strong, Capital "O" sound. I have only heard Americans change the "o" to an "ah" sound - until Sydney here from BC. People in BC (if this is normal there) must have picked this up from your neighbours below you! I loved this meme reaction - even better than the words or slang comparison videos.
The issue with the Kinder Eggs isn't specifically that there is a ton of concern that kids will choke on the capsule, but a technicality in food safety laws that prohibit plastic inside food. Basically the law is just written broadly to discourage any actual safety risks, but giving Kinder an exception would be grounds for any other food or snack producer to sue the FDA if they don't get the same exception.
I really enjoyed this, thank you for showing off our country! Keep in mind some things are a little different depending on province. In B.C. we don't get as much snow (but when we do, no snow days usually), and we don't bag milk (I think that's Ontario and other places...)
My father was part of the riot control force during the Stanley cup riot, and yes it was intense... they think there would've been a riot regardless of the result
I live around Calgary Alberta area. in the winter snow melts then freezes and goes -40c with a high wind and extreme warnigs and slippery, still no canceled school then snows a massive amount which stays for long time. Warms up too fast almost all melts and big puddle form and the cycle continues. The only time we get canceled days are when the busses can't start cause it's too cold, sometimes you still have to go if you don't ride the bus and can drive or get driven. 6 students show up for most classes so you don't get taught anything either way and just watch movies, I one time was in class and we could pick a show to watch that could show examples of what we were learning and so I picked avatar the last Airbender it was great, people actually wernt on their phones. :D
u can legally own a firearm in Canada just like the United States, but you are not allowed to use a firearm for self defense you can only use the firearm for hunting or sports shooting
Canadians surprised of bagged cereals while ignoring their jugged cereals and bagged milk. Americans surprised of bagged milk and jugged cereals while ignoring their bagged cereals. LOL
The whole world says Kinder toys are Illegal in the states but I live in Cheyenne, Wy, USA and I see them in my local Walmart all the time! They are even right at the checkout!
Where I'm from in Canada we've had snow days before but it takes A LOT of snow for school boards to close schools for the day. Probably get like one or two a school year at least when I was in school but not sure about nowadays as it seems to snow less and less every year.
I have heard about this twice now. The methods of dealing with grievances. I would have to say that the people can have peaceful methods. One of the best is to know the law and hold the government to it and not back down.
Iâm in south Louisiana. If there was a chance of ice on the road our schools are closed. Freezing temperatures happen so rarely that the road crews arenât prepared. Tire stores donât even sell snow tires and auto parts stores donât carry tire chains. Those would have to be special ordered.
the only snow days i actually had was when the road was to slippery but like majorly and when the snow was still on going like the storm was still there. i remember also playing king of the hill in the school yards on the massive snow hills.
@2:41: I think Sydney was referring to the NHL's Stanley Cup playoffs during Vancouver Canucks post-final riots, when they lost to Boston in 2011, *one year* after the 2010 Winter Olympics. Canada won, USA lost at that one.
@@sweiland75 lol well my passport and green card say otherwise. I wouldn't say I'm an Canadian in the traditional sense of knowing all of the funny quirks of the culture but I am close to my family and visit frequently to make the video hit different.
I went to school in the Canadian Arctic. WE never had a snow day, we had visibility days. If you couldn't see more than 30 meters in front of you, the school closed.
2:13 I'm pretty sure this was the Canucks' Stanley cup riot in 2011, not the olympics hahahah we won that one, remember? Both men and women. The riot was next year when Vancouver lost to Boston. City went a bit haywire heh
about snow : i spent only 2 weeks in Canada and everyday i had to remove 4 inches of snow on the car and people told me that snow was early but here, when we say snow is early it's because there's snow (there was 2 millimeters of snow in Paris and my plane took off with 2 hours of delay but when i landed in Montreal there was 50 cm and peoiple didn't care, i followed 3 snowplows driving at illegal speeds while i was going to my hotel...meanwhile in Canada)
I never had snow days either growing up for school. Just bus cancellations. My parents would still drive us to school, when the busses were not running. Lol
Usually when buying the bagged cereal you put the contents into a tupperware container actually keeps a bit longer than just crumpling the plastic bag down in the box.
Just to be clear, there is a big difference between a protest and a riot, and the one does not necessarily lead to the other. Peaceful protest is a form of assembly, which is constitutionally protected in the U.S. Rioting is not. Protests happen WAY more frequently than riots here.
Agreed. I'm a foreigner who had lived in the US for almost a decade, I really like the protests there. In the place where I lived (Ithaca, NY), it was a hippy liberal city and I had seen many protests, most of them during Trump's presidency (Women's March, March for Science). Their protests were so creative and very welcoming. They had witty and funny signs that made you think, and sometimes funny costumes, many of them were there with their dogs. There was someone handing out free pins that they made. The speeches were informative. The music was fun. The only time there was tension was when a group of Proud Boys arrived from out of town to counter protest. But there was no violence. And apart from that one particular time, it was a great atmosphere overall. I wish people in my country had more of these kind of protests.
The sorry pronunciations both sounded the same to me lol. And I'm in Canada and have seen bagged cereal plenty (even bought it a few times). The snow day one, on point though! Never had a snow day in 36 years, we go to school/work during blizzards or 3+ feet of snow
3:02 I had a snow day today and am having a snow day tomorrow. Maybe even the next day too lol with no online school to do since the teachers canât get to the school which is where their laptops are.
The gun thing isn't so much more prevalent in the south vs north as it is a rural vs urban thing. Where urban centers control the state (especially the East and West Coasts and industrial centers around the Great Lakes) guns tend to be heavily restricted. In middle America, population density is much lower and having weapons is a matter of survival in many areas even today. There are still many parts of the country where it's common to look out a window of your house and see a coyote, wolf, mountain lion, or bear hanging out on your porch or in your yard. Farmers have to be on constant vigil in much of the plains and mountain areas to keep predators away from livestock.
Too true, and also the rurals really skew the averages. When you have a shotgun for geese, a rifle for deer, a .22 for snakes, and 9mm for the range while your cousin in the city has none that's still 2 per household. Also worth mentioning, if you've ever been boar hunting (they are considered a pest here in the southeast, destroying natural and human habitats) then an AR15 or something of the sort becomes less overkill and more neccesity. They can shrug off buckshot at 30 yards and close the distance in seconds.
Killing that animal doesnât solve the problem to keeping them away from livestock like that animal belongs in a shelter weather there dangerous or not they belong in a shelter and trained either way u make no sense cuz u saying urban states r more restrictive but farmers r allowed guns so if someone trespasses the farm there shot on the spot no explanation isnât that the same as saying America legalises the law to be able to posses weapons because why do ur farmers have guns and if they do how did they get them if itâs more restricted in those states and canât anyone just get one if they have one where Iâm from no farmers r allowed guns no gun shops because there not legal where Iâm from itâs illegal so r drugs
Canada actually won the gold medal for hockey at the 2010 Olympics, beating the USA 3-2.
As others have pointed out, the riot in Vancouver over a hockey game was when the Vancouver Canucks lost game 7 of the Stanley Cup final to the Boston Bruins in June of 2011, some 16 months after the 2010 Winter Olympics.
There have been seven other riots in Canadian cities following hockey games.

Please keep upvoting Black Prince's comment so it'll make the top! This is a major correction that needs to be seen!
I am sure its a lot more. In just Montreal, after almost every game, the roads are a mess.
Christina's explanation on riots in the US was well handled.
Ours are more brutal and violent đȘđșđ«đ·đ©đȘđźđčđȘđŠ which means it's not good
Not really. Our riots don't occur from clashes, they occur from a group "punishing society" for their own problems, and trying to force their beliefs.

Growing up in California, our elementary school didn't have snow days. We had rainy day schedule instead where we got to go home early.
we had days when we the air conditioning would turn off in summer. And if the wind knocked the trees down or if we had an earthquake
sorry but its wears in ne it snows an 1'' scool OUT THE WINDOW
Growing up in Paris, France. We do have have snow days
Florida here, we got hurricane days. We did get a snow day years ago, because our city didnât have any snow equipment to clear the roads. Lived here 40 years, that happened once.

A marriage that need to happen.
As a grocery store clerk in Canada, I can say with confidence that we have bagged cereal up here too.
Best comment award!
We have bagged cereal from that same brand lol đ and in the west we donât have bagged milk, Iâve never even seen a bag of milk đ

The weird thing about most attempts at banning the AR-15 in the US is that most people have no idea what they are actually trying to ban. The Assault Weapon Ban of 1994 made the AR-15 illegal until it expired in 2004, but the M-1 Garand (the main battle rifle used by US troops in WWII) was still legal because the ban went after cosmetic features that didn't fundamentally change the function of the weapon.
States have even more rules, depending on the type of firearm and how you want to carry it, and they aren't consistent. In Vermont, if you want to carry a pistol (openly or concealed) you're fine. In New York, it would take an act of God (or being extremely wealthy and politically connected) to possess a handgun outside your home. If you are legally carrying a firearm in Vermont, mistakenly cross a bridge into New York and get pulled over for a traffic infraction, you WILL be arrested and could spend years in prison.
Living in Utah, USA, growing up I never had a snow day. But it also depends on where in Utah. My kids have had 1 snow day, living in the city where I grew up, but my sister's kids have had more snow days living in town in Utah.
i think every country has a warning on kinder eggs saying that a children can swallow this due to its size
I'm Canadian and I've never seen cereal in a jug until now lol
Thank god there's no "Indonesia vs Malaysia MEME Battle!!"
1:23 As a french person I'm used to riots
I think the snow day situation varies from province to province, and region to region. Even within the GTA and neighbouring/outskirt towns, one school board could have called a snow day and the next one over kept it as a school day on the same snowy day. It has to do with the road conditions and how safe it is for those who need to drive to school. Sometimes, it could be a bus closure day yet schools remain open. If you live close enough, your children may need to attend school nonetheless despite them being the rare few in school that day.
I am more used to âsorryâ being pronounced âsore-yâ.
Bagged milks are definitely an Ontario signature. I didnât even know it wasnât common throughout the country until I became an adult. đ bagged cereals are available too. More like by a generic/no name brand. Walmart usually carries them.
On the snowy day thing, I'm from Canada but I moved to the US for 2 years, I went on Christmas break which was expected to be a week but turned out to be almost 2 months because of snow days.
No, no. The Canadians (some and many) say sore-ree. The Americans most often say sah-ree/sar-ree. I enjoyed the video
That's the most common Canadian variation (and fairly typical of a Canadian Standard urban accent) but it isn't universal. My own pronunciation is closer to saw-ree with less stress on that first syllable (Quebec English accent with eastern Ontario influences).
I KNOW THAT ANNOYED ME SO MUCH. Every Canadian Iâve heard says âsore-yâ
Americans NEVER say âsore-yâ
Americans say âSORRYâ (small o sound)
Lol why do people find it strange to see bagged cereal? You do know that all cereal comes in bags. Some just are inside a cardboard box like most branded cereals.
Cut it's not everyday seeing bagged cereal in supermarket.
We Europeans have instead bar cereal
Even then, the bagged cereal is typically just for really large quantities that would be awkward to make a box for. It's there for when you need a 4 pound bag or something, like if you're buying for a group or want it to last a while.
Normal size bags exists, but it's not really common.
For the Kinder Eggs, there are actually two types. The first one, Kinder Surprise is what is illegal Stateside. Years later they redesigned them as Kinder Joy, and those are sold not only in the U.S, but Canada as well. Canada gets them both, actually. The difference is in how they're packaged, with the Kinder Surprise being a chocolate shell with the toy in the middle, where in the Kinder Joy, the toy is on the outside, and the chocolate is different, with two rocher-like balls.
Oh really, this is the reason for Kinder Joy? Makes sense, I always just assumed that Kinder Joy was designed for summer as the creme doesn't melt as easy as the normal chocolate egg does. And if I remember correctly Kinder Joy was only available in summer time, at least around 8-10 years ago. It's been quite a while since I had my last Kinder surprise đ
I'll also point out that the ban on Kinder Surprise isn't specific to Kinder Surprise. It's an older rule banning a "non-nutritive object embedded" in a food.
To the best of my knowledge, in the years that Kinder Eggs have been available, only a handful of children have choked on the Kinder you, and it was after it has already been separated from the chocolate.
@@TevelDrinkwater what about Kings Cakes?
@@theawolf2478 I think you are right. At least, they are a summer edition in my country đ
Iâve never even seen or had a kinder joy before⊠-Canuck
6:20 Guns are legal in Canada, but subject to much more restrictions (e.g. qualification, ownership and use) than the US. Some guns are straight out illegal (e.g. guns with full automatic capability).
Machineguns are legal in many states, subject to the federal licensing/tax.
I donât think thatâs fully true sometimes you can get a special License for the more heavy power or restricted guns
I automatically just look at Canada and think about how theyâre our cousin in country form.

When the French Olympic skating judge screwed the Canadian pair. I thought of US/Canada in familial terms. Bri bro & younger sister; we can pick on each other, but if somebody else messes with either one, watch out for the backlash.
I saw christina in Mom's diary teaching won hee english and i was like waittttt thats christina đ đ im suprised that she lives in korea
It was -40C out and a blizzard was raging out. Our social teacher was like, "In Canada, there'll never be a snow day, not once did I have one in and there won't be one today."
NYC rarely ever had snow days when I was growing up. I actually think it's a little more common now.
As a Canadian, the 2010 Stanley cup was definitely crazy⊠especially living in Vancouver
2011
kinder surprise eggs were my life. I called the corner store the kinder egg store.
We've had some bagged cereal in Canada for a while. Tastes fine. There's some in the organic section and some with regular cereal.
I live in Las Vegas. One inch of snow is not a snow day here, but the day after when the snow is melted there will be a snow day.
I have a feeling that the "sorry" pronunciation is where you live in the country. Further East, in Canada, we say sorry with a strong, Capital "O" sound. I have only heard Americans change the "o" to an "ah" sound - until Sydney here from BC. People in BC (if this is normal there) must have picked this up from your neighbours below you!
I loved this meme reaction - even better than the words or slang comparison videos.
Haha the first meme with the ketchup chips is great!!
The issue with the Kinder Eggs isn't specifically that there is a ton of concern that kids will choke on the capsule, but a technicality in food safety laws that prohibit plastic inside food. Basically the law is just written broadly to discourage any actual safety risks, but giving Kinder an exception would be grounds for any other food or snack producer to sue the FDA if they don't get the same exception.
Love how America has bagged cereal and Canada has bagged milk đ need to get together and have milk and cereal at the border đđ
I really enjoyed this, thank you for showing off our country! Keep in mind some things are a little different depending on province. In B.C. we don't get as much snow (but when we do, no snow days usually), and we don't bag milk (I think that's Ontario and other places...)
My father was part of the riot control force during the Stanley cup riot, and yes it was intense... they think there would've been a riot regardless of the result
The bagged cereal was always the crappy offbrands
The Vancouver riot was in 2011 when the Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals. It wasn't because of the Olympics
Because we, Canada, won the gold at the 2010 Olympics! Sydney Crosby's famous "golden goal". đšđŠ đ

I live around Calgary Alberta area. in the winter snow melts then freezes and goes -40c with a high wind and extreme warnigs and slippery, still no canceled school then snows a massive amount which stays for long time. Warms up too fast almost all melts and big puddle form and the cycle continues. The only time we get canceled days are when the busses can't start cause it's too cold, sometimes you still have to go if you don't ride the bus and can drive or get driven. 6 students show up for most classes so you don't get taught anything either way and just watch movies, I one time was in class and we could pick a show to watch that could show examples of what we were learning and so I picked avatar the last Airbender it was great, people actually wernt on their phones. :D

u can legally own a firearm in Canada just like the United States, but you are not allowed to use a firearm for self defense
you can only use the firearm for hunting or sports shooting
Canadians surprised of bagged cereals while ignoring their jugged cereals and bagged milk.
Americans surprised of bagged milk and jugged cereals while ignoring their bagged cereals. LOL
The whole world says Kinder toys are Illegal in the states but I live in Cheyenne, Wy, USA and I see them in my local Walmart all the time! They are even right at the checkout!
Where I'm from in Canada we've had snow days before but it takes A LOT of snow for school boards to close schools for the day. Probably get like one or two a school year at least when I was in school but not sure about nowadays as it seems to snow less and less every year.
Canadians : Bagged cereal in the US is odd.
Americans : bagged milk in Canada is odd
"Ive never seen cereal in a box"
*bag that the cereal sits in when in the box* : "Am i a joke to you?"
I have heard about this twice now. The methods of dealing with grievances. I would have to say that the people can have peaceful methods. One of the best is to know the law and hold the government to it and not back down.
Iâm in south Louisiana. If there was a chance of ice on the road our schools are closed. Freezing temperatures happen so rarely that the road crews arenât prepared. Tire stores donât even sell snow tires and auto parts stores donât carry tire chains. Those would have to be special ordered.
U both say sorry exactly the same đ€Ł
I sometimes see bagged cereal in Canada, but not so much anymore tho :)
We have bagged cereal here in Manitoba. Honestly things can differ Provence to Provence
the only snow days i actually had was when the road was to slippery but like majorly and when the snow was still on going like the storm was still there. i remember also playing king of the hill in the school yards on the massive snow hills.
@2:41: I think Sydney was referring to the NHL's Stanley Cup playoffs during Vancouver Canucks post-final riots, when they lost to Boston in 2011, *one year* after the 2010 Winter Olympics. Canada won, USA lost at that one.
I can really relate to this video because I am a Canadian that was raised and lives in Boston but I still go to visit family in Canada. So its funny.
Visiting Canada does not make you Canadian.
@@sweiland75 lol well my passport and green card say otherwise. I wouldn't say I'm an Canadian in the traditional sense of knowing all of the funny quirks of the culture but I am close to my family and visit frequently to make the video hit different.
Being from Alaska, I related to Canada a lot more lmao.
Snow day only means that if your last day of school is June 24 now it will be June 25 for that one snow dayâŠ
christina you're my comfort person, why are you so adorable ahh
Ugh
I went to school in the Canadian Arctic. WE never had a snow day, we had visibility days. If you couldn't see more than 30 meters in front of you, the school closed.
2:13 I'm pretty sure this was the Canucks' Stanley cup riot in 2011, not the olympics hahahah we won that one, remember? Both men and women. The riot was next year when Vancouver lost to Boston. City went a bit haywire heh
Probably going to be a lot of corrections to her
about snow : i spent only 2 weeks in Canada and everyday i had to remove 4 inches of snow on the car and people told me that snow was early but here, when we say snow is early it's because there's snow (there was 2 millimeters of snow in Paris and my plane took off with 2 hours of delay but when i landed in Montreal there was 50 cm and peoiple didn't care, i followed 3 snowplows driving at illegal speeds while i was going to my hotel...meanwhile in Canada)
I never had snow days either growing up for school. Just bus cancellations. My parents would still drive us to school, when the busses were not running. Lol
Usually when buying the bagged cereal you put the contents into a tupperware container actually keeps a bit longer than just crumpling the plastic bag down in the box.
last year we had a couple serial bags in the house in Canada
I live in canada and it never snows but one year it snowed like i dont know 50cm so that wednesday we had a no scbool day!....
People in Boston, Buffalo and Cleveland are laughing at the snow day meme right now.
đšđŠ Snow days! InterestingâŠ.I donât remember any, but then I grew up on the west coast where a few inches made headlines.
We had snow days in Ontario, but it had to be a ridiculous amount, like three feet, an icestorm, or something
0:40 In the US, we don't have cereal in bags.
Look on the bottom shelf, half way to the back. Usually generic knock offs.
Just to be clear, there is a big difference between a protest and a riot, and the one does not necessarily lead to the other. Peaceful protest is a form of assembly, which is constitutionally protected in the U.S. Rioting is not. Protests happen WAY more frequently than riots here.
Agreed. I'm a foreigner who had lived in the US for almost a decade, I really like the protests there. In the place where I lived (Ithaca, NY), it was a hippy liberal city and I had seen many protests, most of them during Trump's presidency (Women's March, March for Science). Their protests were so creative and very welcoming. They had witty and funny signs that made you think, and sometimes funny costumes, many of them were there with their dogs. There was someone handing out free pins that they made. The speeches were informative. The music was fun. The only time there was tension was when a group of Proud Boys arrived from out of town to counter protest. But there was no violence. And apart from that one particular time, it was a great atmosphere overall. I wish people in my country had more of these kind of protests.
@@rtse4358 I don't know how women ever survived those four years. đ
The sorry pronunciations both sounded the same to me lol. And I'm in Canada and have seen bagged cereal plenty (even bought it a few times). The snow day one, on point though! Never had a snow day in 36 years, we go to school/work during blizzards or 3+ feet of snow
3:02 I had a snow day today and am having a snow day tomorrow. Maybe even the next day too lol with no online school to do since the teachers canât get to the school which is where their laptops are.
in the 80's in Nova Scotia you could get bags of Puffed Rice cereal.
YES! MORE SYDNEY PLEASE đ„ș
I agree! It'd be nice to see a Commonwealth + US edition with AUS/NZ/UK too.
From Wisconsin. The one about school closers in winter fall closer to the Canadian one. The picture used tends to be for southern states.
The gun thing isn't so much more prevalent in the south vs north as it is a rural vs urban thing. Where urban centers control the state (especially the East and West Coasts and industrial centers around the Great Lakes) guns tend to be heavily restricted. In middle America, population density is much lower and having weapons is a matter of survival in many areas even today. There are still many parts of the country where it's common to look out a window of your house and see a coyote, wolf, mountain lion, or bear hanging out on your porch or in your yard. Farmers have to be on constant vigil in much of the plains and mountain areas to keep predators away from livestock.
Too true, and also the rurals really skew the averages. When you have a shotgun for geese, a rifle for deer, a .22 for snakes, and 9mm for the range while your cousin in the city has none that's still 2 per household.
Also worth mentioning, if you've ever been boar hunting (they are considered a pest here in the southeast, destroying natural and human habitats) then an AR15 or something of the sort becomes less overkill and more neccesity. They can shrug off buckshot at 30 yards and close the distance in seconds.
Killing that animal doesnât solve the problem to keeping them away from livestock like that animal belongs in a shelter weather there dangerous or not they belong in a shelter and trained either way u make no sense cuz u saying urban states r more restrictive but farmers r allowed guns so if someone trespasses the farm there shot on the spot no explanation isnât that the same as saying America legalises the law to be able to posses weapons because why do ur farmers have guns and if they do how did they get them if itâs more restricted in those states and canât anyone just get one if they have one where Iâm from no farmers r allowed guns no gun shops because there not legal where Iâm from itâs illegal so r drugs

Where I live in Alberta, we only get snow days when itâs around -50âC or colder. Even then, some people still go to school.
For me, I've never had a snow day in my life and the coldest it's been is about -40
