    I've been to Vancouver, BC for the past 4 years and I'm always astonished by how much Canadians talk about America. Meanwhile in the US, we rarely hear about Canada (if ever). You're more likely to hear about Russia, China, North Korea, and the Middle East.

      NYK Fan Media tends to shape things. Often opinion. We don’t have enough access to Canadian media and news in the U.S. Even now with the internet, much of it is geoblocked outside of Canada. As a teenager who didn’t have any internet access quickly available to me, I learned most of what I knew about Canada’s culture from the 2 Canadian TV networks we had here. CBC Newsworld International and MuchMusic. They were both gone from American cable systems by the time I was 18. Canada on the otherhand is flooded with American News, Music, TV. They see way more of what we do than the other way around.

      I have had many American friends and acquaintances in my years who love their country (but i do see the confused who take party politics far to much to heart).
      Politics must bring people together. Both the major parties have had some great history with care & policy for the people.
      But now they both seem to be bought solid by Big Corp, Media and Business.
      Bernie has shown it doesn't take bribery to compete. Next election time, won't it be interesting to see if the 'Big Guys' are going to have learned from Bernie? Or, are they so totally in the pocket of Big Money and Corruption, they have no choice.

    I’m proud of the American attitude: to talk to any rando on the street, to be boisterous and friendly with anyone who crosses our path, to be honest when we’re angry or confused. I, personally, still think all of Canada is my friend, and whenever I meet a Canadian, that’s how I treat them. Until someone makes it clear that they don’t like me, we’re friends. Has there ever been a better way to make and keep friends than treating people right? Here, we have the policy innocent until proven guilty. So, friends until proven enemies! And then friends again after that, if at all possible!
    I get that a lot of people think we’re loud, rude, annoying, and a little dumb, but I’d like to tell people from other countries this: America is like a big dog. We want to play and make friends with literally everyone! But we also turn around pretty quick and bite if someone seems hostile. It’s a definite downside-maybe even a fault-but really we WANT peace so that we can play and make friends all day everyday.
    Honestly, the dog analogy works really well. If you think about it more in that mindset, you’ll probably come to like our assertive friendliness a little bit more, and tolerate the slobbering.

      Corvette Dude - Same here. Canadians think they know a lot about the USA, but what they know is a lot of what they see on television or a lot of what other Canadians have told them about the USA. Living in the USA is a very different experience from watching its television.
      People need to watch their local or maybe regional news some time, while specifically looking for any similarities between what is reported and what their own day-to-day lives are actually like. Then do the same thing for entertainment-oriented programming. Again, they should look for similarities, but they'll need to look really hard, because television really only bears a superficial resemblance to reality.
      Canadians who think they know a lot about the USA because they get TV from American stations are about as foolish as people who think they know a lot about Japanese high schools because they've see anime or even live-action dramas about them. At best, you might have a superficial knowledge of history and geography, but certainly not real-world culture and behavior.

      I've lived in both countries as well, and come from neither of them and I can say that I also have respect for Americans. Actually when I lived in Canada, most of the people I befriended where actually Americans, because they were friendlier and more outgoing. I found Canadians to be somewhat dull and even a little conceited.
      I like both countries but I have to defend the US here, even though the US has problems it STILL has a lot going for it and I find the people to be, generally speaking, friendly and eager to please. I mean, it's a country of over 320,000,000 people; it's not ALL going to be bad. And day-to-day life in America is not so different to day-to-day life in Canada.

      personally i think that america is great but the average canadian does not see the things that we lack, that they do. the average canadian is only looking for the things that we as a whole do best, in the Americans.that's not right. Americans are very hard working people and i don not understand why some Canadians don't see that.

      I agree. The loudest voice is always the one which gets noticed and that voice doesn't always paint a positive picture. My stance on the whole "Canada is better than.." thing is that Canada is my home, so it is a better place for me. An American will, likewise, find their home to be the best place for them. My personal experience with Americans has been, largely, positive and marred only by the confrontational types who sling labels like "libtard" should you voice opposition to Donald Trump, but I would classify those as the vocal minority of Trump supporters.

They do try to highlight somehow that they are different but for those of us here in Colombia who have dealt with them and I'm assuming for much of Latin America as well, we just don't see it. After seeing this video though it's left a bad taste in my mouth. Just because someone was born in a country that has a bad government doesn't mean that person themselves is bad.

That's not to put them down, but by accident, they were born a few miles to the north in a country that is largely known as America's neighbor.
      Look around your home and see the result of thousands of inventions created by Americans. Can you think of any that are Canadian off the top of your head? Even the Netherlands has had a much greater impact on history than Canada has. Of course, they'll have an inferiority complex.

    I am from the UK. I have been to both Canada and the US for over half a dozen weeks each. Canada may be more accepting, tolerant and have less of an forward energy motivated by greed, but there is no place more boring than Canada. Everything happens in the US, nothing happens in Canada, it is almost like the place where immigrants who failed to reach the US decided to live instead. The US, despite its flaws, possesses a greatest ability to do any significant good in the world. Canada looks aesthetically the same as the US, with a British/European level of funding. If Canada somehow had a higher GDP than the US, I doubt that you would see much difference in terms of policy. The idea of living in the most powerful country corrupts most of those in charge of it. Canada would be no exception to that rule if it had the economy.

    What sums up this segment the best is the fact that the students threw out a lot of synonyms for "ignorant" to describe Americans, but then were asked to make sweeping generalizations about a country of 300 million people. I prefer strong socially democratic countries, but I understand that I'm left of centre in my views, which not everyone would agree with. My political stance is based on the idea that socialised systems are more compassionate, and more effective than systems from the right of the spectrum, and so it would be easy for me to say that Canada is a "better country" because it is more socialised. However I also believe that a country and its government should be a reflection of its citizens and their values. Americans are typically further right in their views than Canadians, and I think that their political system is a strong reflection of those views. As long as a country provides and protects the rights and freedoms of its citizens, is run by elected officials, and reflects the values of its people, there are no better or worse countries, there are simply different countries.

I am currently a student in the US, I’ve taken and am taking world studies classes and never once were we taught we were superior to another nation or culture.

      Luke Colwell have you ever been to America? I guarantee you that I know more about world politics than you and that while you pity yourself with the opinion that Canada and Canadians are better than America and Americans, you glance over the ties between the 2 nations. Don’t talk about heathcare, Americans with jobs don’t need it for free, nor do we need to request the government allow us to fix a broken arm, don’t talk about education, we have it feee through taxes and college can be payed for upfront, most people save their entire lives for college, and it costs the same upfront when compared to paying it though taxes. I respect Canada, but if you claim to be superior even though our politics don’t agree- where I think you should get a job and work with society rather than let society treat me- , then I find nothing superior in that. Im happy being an arrogant, egotistic American if I live in a country so shrouded in controversy, but willing to accept others who criticize me. Candaians aren’t nice people, in my opinion Canadians are extremely self centered and closed off, k think Canadians let to much get ti them and hold grudges for years upon end. But I also think Canada is a nice neighbor, i appreciate our shared history and trade partnership, I watch and listen to Canadian musicians and actors and I have some Canadian friends, but why must you claim to be so innocent but then be so arrogant to say “America is wayyyy worse than canada”?

We were the same, different nationalities, but interchangeable, no little brother bit brother bull, we were taught about Canada in school, I beg to differ on the intelligence , the USA has always had Canadas back, and vice versa, these Canadians in this video seem to be a bit mislead, probably by media or social networking. You may be surprised at how much the USA citizens know about Canada.

    So I would like to share something that has happened to me today, I have a friend who I skype with all the time in Canada and today his father came onto the FaceTime and started talking to my friend about a tank that was outside his aunts house.
    Somewhere during that conversation I couldn’t hear what was going on because I felt like it wasn’t my place to keep listening to their conversation..but his father started yelling really loud saying “we’re not gonna steal a tank! we’re not Americans!” my friend mumbled something to his father that I couldn’t hear but I think he may have said “please apologize” but his father started yelling even more saying “I’m not gonna apologize! Look who they voted for!” I remained quiet and didn’t say anything but my friend started defending me saying that I wasn’t old enough to vote (i’m 16) and his father replied with “Well their parents did!”. That whole conversation made me start tearing up and I ended up leaving the call, I didn’t let my friend know it was bothering me because I didn’t want him to worry... but it made me feel like I wasn’t even a human being and just someone who they felt they knew everything about? I can’t explain it but is this how canada really thinks of us?? Not all of us voted for trump.. stereotypes are stereotypes and words hurt.

      I haven't been to the south myself except on a few occasions, so I can't say what day-to-day life is like, but I suspect there would be a noticeable, but survivable, culture shock if I moved there. I don't think I would find it so difficult to adapt.

    There are a lot of Canadians that have a simultaneous superiority complex and inferiority complex when it comes to America. While this doesn't fit all, it does sadly fit enough. You see this when some Canadians build their entire identity on what they are not (notAmerican) as opposed to what they are (Canadian) the reason being is that because our two nations and cultures are virtually identical in most ways, so these sorts of Canadians take great pains to differentiate between us. To the point of absurdity as this video shows.

      Both the National Institutes of Health in the US and the Journal of the American Medical Association quote 38 peer reviewed medical studies comparing medical care and medical outcomes between Canada and the US. Of those 38 studies, 27 (71% of them) say the Canadians get vastly better health care and medical outcomes in Canada than you Murcans could ever (for decades) have with insurance run health care in your backward nation.
      52% of Americans want a universal single payer health care system in the US, and 91% of Canadians say that the medical care they get in Canada is vastly better than the insurance run health care you Murcans are stuck with.
      You Murcans don't pay more for health care. You Murcans pay more in bureaucratic insurance company overhead.
      In your backward nation, between 40% and 50% in what you pay in insurance premiums goes toward CEO salaries, advertising, massive paperwork, and insurance company bureaucracy, while 99% of the money going toward Canadian health care goes to health care, and only 1% is overhead.
      You Murcans pay more because insurance run health care is very inefficient and wastes half of the premiums you pay, while Canadian health care is very efficient and Canadians get vastly better health care in Canada than any American insurance company would ever let an American have in your backward nation.

    Between 1:30 and 1:45 I learned that Canadians have no sense of national politics or economic development. I say this as a Canadian who resides in the States now. I too believe Canada does some things better than the US, but I think this is a trade-off for the more enterprising and self-starter culture one finds in America (which seems at odds against more social cultures that take care of citizens in need).
    How can one say "Canada is better than the US" but not "Canada is better than most countries"? Do these students believe Canada is worse than most countries in Africa or Asia? Most countries in Eastern Europe and the Middle East? Most countries in Latin America? There are probably only 10 countries in the world match Canada's standard of living (btw, the US is on that list)... 10 out of 150+ countries.
    Shameful display by Ryerson's students.

      Proof that the U.S. is interested in invading Iran? The petrodollar is the biggest bullshit being peddled. Remember when the BRICS were going to start their own financial system that was surely going to spell the demise of the U.S. and dollar? That failed or is in the process of failing. I've been alive a little longer than you, I think, and I've been hearing about how the U.S. is on its last legs and the dollar is dead since the '50s. I guess eventually a broken clock will be right. China's growth is starting to dramatically slow, and they have a bigger debt problem than we do because it's mostly "off the books" in their shadow banking system. Now China is starting to take steps to deal with that, but it will come at a cost. The real reason people invest in the U.S. is because it's stable, has a functioning financial system with laws that are enforced, and with U.S. debt in particular the government's ability to tax. There's a reason Chinese are buying up properties in the U.S. as one of the only legal ways they have of getting their money out of the country.

      Mircea Davidescu The people of Backward Corporate States of America cannot be enterpreneurs or self starters because they have to work for someone else in a job they hate to have any chance of having minimal insurance run health care. Canadians are more entrepreneurs and self starters than Americans because Canadians are guaranteed excellent health care even if they start their own business, while Americans can't do that.

      Hey don't worry. A lot of us love you. I want you guys to always sleep well knowing that you will wake up to wonder friendship across the globe. That includes us here in Canada.
      I live 10 minutes away from the border and I travel down south all the time. We love you guys.
      You are always appreciated by us, and it is always the smaller minority odd ball group that makes appearances on clips like this.
      Every country always has a small minority of people that dislike others abroad. That's normal. Don't let that define you.
      God bless you guys!
      God bless you all! :) 🙏
