Is it only me that clicked because you live in Canada and saw the title
Na
Nah bro
No me too
Nah fam
I wanted to make sure he got things right
I feel like 90% of people watching this are Canadian
Hello my friend, I'm from India, will you help me to move to Canada ? I like Toronto Maple Leafs & Tim Horton's coffee.
@@harrykane9593 i'll send you in a package to Canada
THE WHOLE WORLD MY FRIEND
Probs true, as I am Canadian too.
Lol
To put into perspective how big Canada is, keep in mind that St. John's (east coast) is closer to Dublin, Ireland than it is to Vancouver (west coast)
People say "Everything is bigger in Texas" yet the province of Ontario is 415,000 square miles, approximately twice the size of Texas which is 268,600 square miles.

Everything is bigger in Texas if you're talking about women.
Also, the lengths of BC, AB, Sask, and MB is greater than the distance between South America and Antarctica.
"there's a TIm Horton's across the street" No, dude, there are 10 Tim Horton's across the street
Julie Mills it’s more like one every 5ft
Where in the heck are you living? Tim Horton's has been annexing space in everyone's homes ever since they started coming out with their K-cup nonsense. :-p
Julie Mills on a 4 way stop 10:1 there are three Timmies on that intersection 🤣 spot on girl!
Strangest menu I've ever seen. Didn't eat much of what we ordered.
There's usually at least two at every major intersection in the country.
I live in Canada and LMAOO I can’t believe that people thought it snowed all the time! 😂 like if u live in Canada
I knew it doesn't show all the time, but I DID think Canada was flatter-like Michigan flat. It's not...... (by Atikokan)
+sara seaman haha no
+sara seaman as far as Canada being flat it depends on the area you visit like the great plains are super flat.
I remember on a cruise a few years back. Some guys were hitting on my daughter and asked if she had her own sled dog team for college or if she shared one with me. The guy beside him elbowed him and said "No you idiot, they're modernized now. Everyone there now has a snowmobile." hahahaha I only wish this was true.
Shishter LaUrA LeE love from beautiful BC!
Take it from a Canadian, if you come here and end up visiting a Canadian's house, TAKE OFF YOUR GODDAMN SHOES! In Canada, it's super disrespectful to wear your shoes in someone's house.
Can't you ask people nicely tho'?
@@FurnitureFan NO WAY THIS IS SERIOUS
Spot on !
👍👍
@@kittycat-sc7je people wear shoes in the house?
FurnitureFan I think people in Canada don’t ask because it is just known here that you take your shoes off. I would be surprised if someone came in to my house and didn’t take them off. To me, that is strange.
I was at the Vancouver international airport and, as I was leaving, another canuck was entering. I said, "after you." She said, "no-no, after you." "Sorry, please no, after you," I replied. "Thank you so much," she said.
At this point an American tourist who'd been watching this burst into riotous laughter exclaiming that that was the most Canadian thing he'd ever seen. This happens all the time here... I think about his reaction every time it does now.
Kelp Engineer My God it does happen like that. We are silly polite most of the time. 🇨🇦
@Kelp Engineer That's more a Monty Python thing. No, no no. I insist. After you!
this is why they cant understand how we have just as many guns as them, yet rarely a shooting..... because nobody learns from dieing, and we'ed rather call them everything under the sun instead lol... ridicule them.. make em acknowledge they're bound to learn a thing or two and not repeat the mistake..
perhaps were just more intelligent, since we pay more for education and less on military might?
Lol..kinda like "Chip ' n Dale"..the cartoon squirrels..
It's called "A Canadian Stand-off." It's happened to me too many times to count. lol
Who else here is Canadian 🍁🍁🍁
Those are Japanese maple leaves you posted, coming from a fellow Canadian 😂
I wish I was
Southern ontario.....baaaam
You don't hear sorry everywhere Depends where you are, in Quebec it's more like racial and linguistic hate, lots of it...

The hockey love is not exaggerated. The 4 seasons in Canada are pre-season, regular season, post-season, and off season.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Go Leafs Go!
Which exactly coincide with the other 4 seasons: nearly winter, winter, still winter and construction. (Yes, I'm a hockey loving Canadian)
I'm Canadian and I hate hockey
@@catprowlin3451 this is literally alberta.
Another “shocking” thing about Canada:
Every city is COMPLETELY different, with different overall culture, pastimes, personality etc... (apart from the love of hockey and having a Tim Hortons in plain view to your left AND to your right).
Every city is like visiting a different country. The landscape is completely different, the food is different and personality of the city is different.
We can’t answer “what’s it like in Canada?”
This comment deserves it's own video
The closest Tim Hortons to my place is a 45 min drive, seems your comments only relate to the cities. I agree with Chucky , I hate hockey but then I am not a spectator of any sport what a waste of time.
@chucky Thank God someone said it! I was born here and hickey is stupid and beer sucks. Do I lose my Canadian card now?
@@gwens5093 Amen. Timmy's sucks now anyway.
@@gwens5093 having a bad day??? go out there and appreciate life a little more. when you focus on positive it ends up overtaking the negatives.

I AM 66 AND I HAVE ONLY BEEN OUT OF CANADA FOR A TOTAL OF 1 WEEK. NO NEED TO GO ANY WHERE ELSE . EVERY WHERE ELSE IS ALL BACKWARD ANY WAY.
Lived here since I was 7 now I am 53 and not going anywhere
Me too! I love our beautiful country!
And yet you like the Bruins..boo
@@johnross5889 yep
I'll never forget this moment in the Québec province... I was just walking through a mall and saw a teenager open the door to leave. Despite the fact that I was far away from her, she saw me, and held the door the whole time I was walking towards it! It was weird as I'm used to people just leaving and not noticing people behind them. It made me so happy to choose Canada as a place to vacation in. :-)
quite often people are surprised when I hold the door open for them. I just thought that's what you do, it's what I was taught. Go figure, manners!
I’ll never forget the first time I parked in a Quebec mall. My 6 month old vehicle was keyed on every panel down one side. Ontario plates...
So there's the difference between Americans and Canadians manners go figure
Quebec is a city in the province of Ontario
Narata did you give her some poutine as a gesture of thanks 😂?
Here in Alberta we measure distance in hours driving
i never realised how true that is
Yup same on the east coast
i guess everybody does then..
So true
Don’t everyone? 😁. Here in Ontario, too!😆
Lived in Canada one year and I’m in love with this country oh my gosh. One thing that shocked me is people not judging you. I come from Italy and in many European countries people tend to be unfriendly.... love Canada
Ow shut up, u only mer the bad ones
Everyone judges, the part is to be kind.
Was it expensive to live? & find work there?
@@ravenwilliams3332 expensive to live but good salaries. lots of jobs are open
He talked about hockey and about Tim Horton's but he didn't mention that Tim Horton was a professional hockey player.
If Tim knew about the new crap coffee they serve, he'd roll over in his grave. Or, he wouldn't be able to, because he wouldn't be able to wake up enough because he wouldn't drink their crap coffee.
Thanks never did I know tims still have good coffee atleast alot better then starbucks
I love Tim hortons hot chocolate. .
I think that question is on the citizenship test
Played for the Maple Leafs. He wanted to open a hamburger restaurant but market research indicated that he would do better selling donuts.
Hello to fellow Canadians watching this. I hope you're doing well and having a great day or night!
Hard to tell which it is; its winter right now. :-p.
You too!
Awww thank you i hope you have a good day/night
✌🏻
Thank you that’s so polite eh!
further to your point about how everything ties into hockey, Tim Horton was a Hockey player
they also have a leauge
Can I point out that we have 2 national sports but hockey is the only recognized one.
@@chelsey9345 Actually Canada only has one national sport and that is, of course, lacrosse. A large number of Canucks believe that it is hockey but it really isn't.
They also have a Huge international bridge, they been trying to build a new one for 20 years they still haven't started last I heard,the but they already named it the Gordie Howe Bridge, ( canadian hokey player) the Americans wanna build it and pay for it, and there still arguing about it even back in the 60 traffic was backed up for 5 miles
@@hissibling933 Hockey and Lacrosse are both Canada's national sports as of the 1994 National Sports of Canada act.
I am from UK, and we spent 3 weeks in Canada in 2017. We encountered 0 jerks.
Lucky you. I meet them every day.
There are many
Sad to say, we have them too.
I'm from British Columbia. I lived in Kelowna for two years, and MAN, the drivers are such douchebags!
I visited Canada last year! I went to Québéc , Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa and loved it!! It is so safe, I want to go again but to the west coast... love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
You will love it on the west side of Canada
@@janparsons3300 Thank you dear!! I hope to go there soon!! 💞
I was in Miami on the beach , a couple of beach bros asked me if we lived in Igloos ? I answered yes of course we do and we inject maple sirop in to our veins like heroin .
Mon Dieu!!!!
I was asked the same thing by a co-worker of a family member in the States
and I knew they weren't poking fun, I told the lady, only in the summer time and kept my face straight lol
Clulest people !
You're not supposed to tell everyone! Sheesh. Way to keep a secret.
I once went to California and walked up to a random dude and said
"Bro ..the worst things happened last week...my igloo started to melt *starts to fake cry* and my pet moose had to be put down....I have to wait until next moose season so that they can herd up all the mother moose and their calves to get one....one of my motors broke down when I was on my way to work..I had to replace him with one of my motors in training ,he's a jerk and kept distracting my other motors...worst week ever" he even believed me
BTW the motors are huskies/Alaskan malamutes/sled dogs as people believe we use sleds with out sled dogs to get to work
I drove across Canada from southern Ontario to Vancouver Island. It took me 3 days just to get out of Ontario my god
But the area north of Superior is beautiful!!!!
Ontario to Van is not "across" Canada...
Leading to T Bay is bad, But not 3 days.....
Yes, indeed. Ontario is an absolutely gigantic province. One in three Canadians live in Ontario, most of them within 200 miles of the US border. The rest of the province is thinly populated. When seen from the air, northern Ontario appears to be about 50% water. Hundreds of thousands of lakes. Mind blowing.
If you took 3 days from southern Ontario to get out, you're slow! You have to drive more than 5 hours per day otherwise of course, Canada will take forever to drive across!!
I live in Montréal. We have an underground city and the tourist information centre is asked very often by tourists many Americans, where the caves are. These are actually shopping centres, office buildings, etc. connected by the métro (subway). This is very convenient because during winter some people can actually go to work without a winter coat. You can go shopping without going out to the street.
You didn’t even mention Nova Scotia or Newfoundland!?... the two most unreal provinces in Canada IMO.
As one who lives in NS and has most of my life I can confirm
@@brendenmccool1165 cape breton might be the most beautiful part of canada coming from a Montrealer
@@brendenmccool1165 I'm from Nova scotia. Cape Breton is breathtaking. I find all of upper nova Scotia is as well
We Canadians are super nice because we gave our mean side to the wild geese!
And sent them South! We know.
I must be part goose.
Cunts with wings
Cobra ducks from the cunty side of hell
Don't forget those moose! Surly buggers☺
This is ridiculously accurate
I live in Australia. I was born in Ontario. The 4 seasons in Canada (except Southern British Columbia) are: 1. Winter, 2. Still-Winter, 3. Construction Season, and 4. Almost-winter.
😂😂😂
In Toronto since it’s the most southern part of Canada (not including islands)
It’s Fall/mini winter, winter, warmer winter (still with snow), construction
I'm in Ontario, tell me which season I manage to grow tomatoes, peppers and other veggies in my garden ?
freddyzdead .. I'm in Ontario, tell me which season I manage to grow tomatoes, peppers and other veggies in my garden ?
Those are Michigan seasons also.
I moved from NY to Canada in 2008. Had a medical bill in the US for six days in a hospital. $32,000. Been in Canada, had a stroke. I paid nothing. Why Americans are so brainwashed against medicare for all is beyond me. And yes, you are right. Amazing country. Thanks for your vids.
“Because evil taxes ahhhh”
sometimes i feel like the only Canadian who doesnt give a damn about hockey.
Patrick Quenneville nope... I don’t either lol I watch football instead
you aren't alone
Low-key Americans right here lol
“🎶I never saw someone say that before”🎼
Or curling, don't forget curling....it's like a religion over here....help us that
don't like sports!!!!
"which beer is the best? ask a local!" shows child
in quebec it s only 18 to drink ..pics of a child is ok for this province
@@lacroix1976 it's all of Canada.. and you're teeechnically a legal adult at that point here
Ok, you ask a kid and they can probably answer.. not because they drink, but because they recognize the labels from their parents having them in a cooler on a picnic
xSHuSHx it varies province to province for legal drinking age... like Saskatchewan is 19... Alberta is 18, etc...
😅 Weird timing there, that was funny.
I convinced an America once that we have penguins as pets. Just like the rest of the world has dogs/cats.
He was excited to see Canada one day to see Canadians walking their penguins.
Edit: Woah!! Thanks for the likes/comments!!
I’m famous 🤗🤗
Open a world map and look where the Antarctic is, this is where your penguins live.
Jake Knelsen. What a stupid guy He has his poles mixed up. Penguins are found at the South Pole.
I convinced an American that we ride moose while hunting polar bears.
Jake Knelsen LOL- you also have polar bears as pets too. 😂
I used to live in Windsor Ontario. I once had Some Americans pull in to the gas station where I worked and ask me how long till snow. This was July. They wanted to ski.
I'm a native Québécois and most people age 50 or younger speak English well enough that tourists and migrants won't feel it's a big issue. The fluency will vary from an individual, but on average, it's quite decent!
I really want to live there in a couple of years, Canada has a special place in my heart
You are most welcome to our lovely country come visit me eh?😉
@Christine Pattison that's so kind of you. Thank you ☺️
We would love another inhabitant of the true north!
@@ashtonsenko536 hahahaha thank you
video gamesman no, Alberta has plenty of space, and as in my opinion one of the most beautiful provinces (second to B.C, sorry other provinces!) they should move to Alberta, cities like Red Deer or Sylvan Lake are places that need more population.
As a Canadian, I want to thank you for your glowing review of our Country. For many, many years a majority of us have felt like shouting aloud how much we love living in the Great White North and how it is one of the best places to live, but only let it out as a whisper, fearing we would sound conceited and petty. It is nice to see others also have a love for our Country. Just to add to your comment of French only being in Quebec, you should know there is a healthy portion of Francophones in New Brunswick, pockets of the same in Northern Ontario and an increasing amount of French immersion schools in Ontario, now that people are realizing the employment opportunities of knowing two languages fluently.
Also Manitoba has a rather large French community! I don't know the specific numbers but as a Saskatchewanian I'd say they have the largest number of us western folks! And while we may not be fluent, most of us remember enough elementary French to be able to get help a Francophone or get by if visiting Quebec.
Bilingual certification can lead to better paying jobs in service industries.
Also try calling some support lines in Canada when they ask for french or english hit french regardless you will get someone that most likely is canadian and can speak better english then the ones you get on the out sourced english ones
Christopher R. Cringe we have crooked politicians here who are bought off by large corporations . get your head out of your ass Canada is not a utopia other then less crime we are no different then the usa
I still don’t like winter. But am Canadian
There is a few English city's in Quebec!
Thank you from a Canadian for telling everyone about our beautiful country. :D
beccasmama63 everyone knows about us because we actually help the population. Why we have pipes in Africa to help the Africans
This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing the beautiful of Canada - it is really an amazing country and I’m proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦❤️
And rarely will we toot or own horn...wtf is wrong with us? Lol. Best country on the planet!!
So are you
Thanks Wolter, as a proud Canadian I love seeing such a great review of our country.
Lol i was driving home from a work call out on a long weekend and seen this little pos van on the side of the road with a flat tire and the guy was trying to charge it without luck so I pulled over and they all jumped in the vehicle and locked the doors I asked if they needed help they said they were from Poland doing a Canadian tour so I started changing the tire and there spare was flat so I pulled out my air hose filled it and removed the broken shock that wrecked the tire in the first place and said that should be better than the guy asked if I knew a shop that would be open cause the van had lost power a while ago and they were scared they were not going to make it much farther I laughed and said start it up so after repairing the boot on the aftercooler they said do all Canadians know how to fix cars I said yup that’s why I can’t let you pay me cause anyone else would have done the same thing. I still have his business card incase I make it to Poland one day
Wow...thank you for sharing your story! There is something in our DNA about helping others that makes us truly Canadian. It always amazes me how when we travel abroad, how respected we are in other countries. It comes down to how we do make a difference and I applaud you my fellow Canadian!
@@shannonh7015 This is how it works. We live in snow. Lets say you get stuck in snow in the middle of the road. Who's gonna help you now? This is why Canadians help people with common problems, we do it to survive.
How nice
Are telling us how good of a Canadian you are ? Anyone would have done this, Three brownie points to you .
NightRainPanda true I live in N.B Canada and my car got stuck in the snow once back when I was a teen, if it weren’t for the help of a fellow Canadian I probably would’ve froze to death do to how isolated I was in the middle of virtually nowhere, thought I was a goner before the guy showed up with his truck.
Just a little warning for those who come to Nova scotia, there are safety rules here in regards to the ocean. Tourists die here multiple times a year because they either don't read the signs or don't understand the landscape in the areas signs haven't been put up.
If you're in Nova Scotia, don't follow the tide out along the bay of fundy. Once the tide goes out, you can barely see the water from shore sometimes, but it doesn't mean that open sandy/mucky space is somewhere you can walk safely because there's no water. The further from land, the muckier, deeper, and more dangerous the ocean floor becomes. If you had to run 100ft away from the tide coming in in a hurry, the muck would prevent you from doing so. You're a human, not a mussel, you don't belong there. www.canada-photos.com/picture/fishing-boats-halls-harbour-nova-scotia-7365.htm
Here's an example of how far out the tide gets ANYWHERE on the bay of fundy. People tie their fishing boats down so they don't tip on their sides overnight, not because they might drift off.
Also, if you're going to Peggy's Cove, or anywhere more rocky than sandy, don't walk on the "black rocks", aka the wet rocks. If you wound up in the water, climbing onto smooth, flat, wet rocks while swimming is near impossible. The waves will smash your powerless body against them like a brick wall until search and rescue has to fish you out. If rocks are wet, the waves have already hit them recently, and it will happen again. If you lose your footing from a wave impact there, you're done. www.google.ca/search?q=peggy%27s+cove&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiNu-iRq-_dAhXmTN8KHc7vBEAQ_AUIDygC&biw=1517&bih=730#imgrc=gC5TkhTSq3ttFM:
Here, all I had to do was google "peggy's cove" and there's 2 people probably standing a little too close. It does look like an uncommonly large wave, but you have to expect such.
It's a sad reality, but I hear about nova scotian tourism from the obituaries more than anything positive. Please be safe enough to tell your family about your visit when you hopefully make it home. It's a beautiful place, but nature will have it's way.
Yesss specially at Peggie’s cove NEVER GO ON THE BLACK ROCKS many locals will warn u about it but make sure to stay away because u never know when a big wave could come!!!
I`d like to die multiple times too :P
Peggy's cove is bad for this see way too many foreigners die
funny thing to say because i live in halifax
don't stand on the black rocks
I Love ❤ Canada - i live in 🇺🇸

New Brunswick is Canada's only official bilingual province
I live in Ottawa, it is very bilingual.
OFFICIAL
@Nathan Henderson Why would it ruin people looking for a job?
@Nathan Henderson Yeah, but most people there are bilingual, aren't they?
@@flopunkt3665 actually no there not. There are some french who refuse to learn English. And English who refuse to learn French. Some who speak both. And God forbid if you ask a french speaking person to learn English for a job. But an English speaking person can loose a job if they don't learn English. And yes this has happened. I know some this has happened to. Personally I believe if you are required to learn French you should also be required to English. You can't have it both ways.
Hey, you forgot to tell that Tim Horton was a hockey player !
oxocult not really a shocking thing. Not allot of the tim Horton’s have the picture of Tim Horton in the ice
He was an alcoholic and failure before he made his coffee shop, so he was like a Canadian colonel Sanders!
That is why, in the movie WAYNE'S WORLD, Mike Myers had them put in a "Stan Mikita's Doughnuts" in the Chicago suburb. It was a nod at Tim Horton.
oxocult oh oh oh I live in Canada
Yea I did a project on him. He was good at hockey
I'm from Canada (Calgary, Alberta) and I love this video! Make sure you try all different kinds of poutines (they are everywhere) and get yourself some maple syrup!!! Some words of caution: 1) make sure you aren't cheering for the "wrong" hockey team, if the majority of people are hooting and hollering for one team don't step outside of that norm (people can get too caught up and get strangely aggressive); 2) please be careful of big wildlife, stay in your vehicles and/or admire from afar (including bears, big horned sheep, elk, caribou, moose, and the big cats if you are lucky enough to see one); and 3) ASK THE LOCALS ANYTHING!!! We love to help, and half the time you might end up with your very own tour guide.
Margaret Gust someone legitimately hijacked maple syrup fast and furious style because of how valuable Canadian maple syrup is.
Pretty accurate and make sure you get real maple syrup fresh from the farm, that’s where you go to get the best stuff
I'm from Canada (Edmonton, Alberta) and I love this video too! I'm not sure which "wrong" hockey team you're referring to, but we'll just assume it's the Calgary Flames :-p. As for the local wild life, you get those in your city too? We also see pheasants, grouse, porcupines, wolves, coyotes, bobcats, deer and foxes too. Heck, until just a few years ago we had a wild Peacock living in southeast Edmonton, just off our Whitemud drive and 75 street. And its true what you say about asking the locals anything; I ended up playing host tour guide to a family of Aussie's this summer past while intending to go out to a local community garden to do some weeding. We had a hoot!
@Margaret Gust Them's fightin' words! (chuckling) Vermont is just next door to the heartland of Quebec's maple syrup producing area (which produces 80% of the world supply, with the rest of Canada being another 10% - I think Vermont and a few other border states are the other 10%) and Vermont shares pretty much the same climate and general ecosystem. I've had Vermont's maple syrup and it's good stuff too. National pride forces me to root for the home team but you are definitely worthy foes in the maple syrup wars. ;) Besides, Vermont and Vermonters are awesome. I used to live in Montreal and visited several times. We couldn't ask for better neighbours.
I’m from England but have family near Calgary, I love it!
A tip which I learnt way back in Geography class - the further north you go the colder you get. Which would apply to Canada. I've got a nephew in Vancouver at the moment and he tells me that Vancouver has a similar climate to Dublin, Ireland where he came from. Like not too cold in winter and not too warm in summer.
I don't want to visit Canada, but I think I want to go and live there forever.
Actually, French is very common in the Maritimes too! Namely New Brunswick, it's the only officially bilingual province in Canada 😊
I have never meet a Canadian that can speak French but I'm from Manitoba
It depends where you live in Manitoba my town is a mostly French speaking community
@@iamcanadianprolife1249 Seriously? There's like a huge community of Francophones here in Winnipeg.
@Link Age the root of the word cajun
New Brunswick is very French even though it is officially bilingual there are communities that don’t speak English.
I was at Montreal for the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix and man, you weren't kidding when you said that Canadians are friendly. While walking around the track, there were 5, yes, five instances where total strangers came up to me, handed me their cameras and asked me to take their pictures. Remember, this was back in 2010. So smart phones with a good camera wasn't a thing. And I don't remember seeing any selfie sticks back then. So to this jaded life long New Yorker, this was a shock to me. 🤣 And of the 5, one of them handed me his DSLR with a crazy long lens. So I obliged and snapped a few photos with him and this friends.
And then on the grand stand watching the race, my friends and I started to strike up a conversation with some folks sitting next to us. One person whom I recall was from Toronto, saw that my arms were getting red from sun burn, so she just reached into her bag and offered me some sun screen for me and my friends. Then for the bus ride back to my hotel, I remember the bus driver noticed my hands and arm red from being exposed to the sun as I was swiping the fare card. And she was like in her French, Quebecois accent: "Ooo la la, are you OK?" 🤣😂 So I just said: "oui, I'm OK, I just put on some sunscreen 😁"
So yeah, Canadians are nice folks.
Super nice folks
And we love to see visitors.
mx5hong Clearly you were friendly too.
@@Alex_Mitchell It's true. I love meeting people who are visiting, especially if it's their first time!
mx5hong so happy to read your comment as a Canadian. I think we are very fortunate to live where we do and need to be reminded these things are not the norm. Your comment about holding the door seemed strange to me because my 1st thought is, who doesn't hold the door open for the person behind them? Hope you visit us again!
As a Canadian I have been asked some pretty odd questions from foreigners, like "What do you all eat up there" ? People generally have no clue about Canada, none what so ever. The snow thing, igloos, food, size of the place, these all seem to be mysteries to many. We have summer, winter, spring and fall. Summers are hot, high 30'sc, upper 80'sf and 90'sf. Winter, depending where you are, varies significantly, on the east and west coasts it's generally warmer than central Canada which can hit the -40c f, and that will blow your mind. 30 degrees colder than a meat freezer. They say it builds character, whoever they are? It's a big beautiful country full of wonderful people. Peace out.
Got news for ya In New Brunwick I have been out working on the waterfront in -40c then add the windchill on top of that and it was quite a bit frosty :)
@@Dargonkin527 bro, I'm in Winnipeg, we know cold 🥶, -40 with a windchill of -52 is called Tuesday here.
@@StephenMWest I was responding to your statement that you seem to think its warmer on the water/coast :) I can tell you from experience it is certainly not warmer just a diffrent type of cold which seeps into your very core(not to mention the very air above the water turns into ice fog/vapor) as opposed to the "dry" cold experienced inland. Anywhere in Canada really gets to a whole diffrent level of cold the the rest of the world does not come close to, save for maybe Russia :)
@@Dargonkin527 if you look, you will find that Winnipeg is the largest city on earth with the widest temperature extremes, and yes living near the ocean, even the North Atlantic, means you can never experience the cold we get, not possible. Ocean currents prevent that. As far as experience, I am from BC, have family in Halifax, been there, and I've been to Churchill, I've lived in Northern Manitoba, and now Winnipeg. I'm 63, I know Canada, weather, ocean currents, prevailing winds, tides, touched every ocean we border, been watching CBC since 1963, seen a lot of weather reports over that time, and many a day on the east coast in January above zero. So, yea, it is never as bonechilling cold anywhere in North America as it is here, for real. Wind chills in the -50s, regularly all winter.
@@StephenMWest I am not denying that you get down to those temps inland your cold is just diffrent then what we get on the coast. it was just the way you worded it made me think you thought we, on the coasts DONT get down that low, which is incorrect. I have personally been out in -55 with windchill delivering fuel to commercial fishing boats during the coldest part of the day 3 to 5am(Imagine a wharf in the middle of a harbor with cold wind AND frozen water vapor ripping through you) I have also experinced the inland colds during my service time in various places in ontario, yes its cold too but a completly diffrent kind of cold. I am sure it's diffrent again in our territories, We are a big country after all :)
I went to Quebec summer last year, it was perhaps my favourite city
As a Canadian, this video makes me smile. Thanks, oh, and sorry!
Whyd you say sorry?
haha No cuz it’s the stereotype that Canadians say sorry
@@MaesReverie sorry that you had to ask...
@@MaesReverie When a Canadian bumps into another they both say they are sorry! Out of politeness!
From Toronto to Vancouver, QUEBEC to Calgary, Canadians are lovely people 💗💗💗💗💗 God bless them
Ummm...you do realize there are cities east of Quebec, right? And many people say folks in the Atlantic provinces are the nicest in Canada. Just sayin'.
@@sheilaperry-long8710 couldn't mention all the cities, just dropped the line, Canada is lovely anyway, the ppl, the landscape everything !

I’ve been to every province except for newfoundland and Saskatchewan, and the east coast I’d say would be one of the nicest places in Canada

I love the feeling of Safety Canada provides!💜
@@globeheadgardener why is that?
@@globeheadgardener Im not sure what part of Canada you're from, but I haven't experienced that, and you're also being a bit extreme about this, of course there's gonna be violence here nothing's perfect, theres always violence around globally, just be happy it ain't the states.

@Globehead Gardener let’s say you had a gun, you still would’ve been attacked by multiple people with guns.
Thank you for the love man! Merci beaucoup! 🇨🇦
There are actually lots of small francophone communities around Canada. But mostly in the east.
The French arm of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, "Radio-Canada", has the longest French-speaking radio and TV network in the world, extending from Vancouver to Newfoundland, but at the edges they serve a very small proportion of French-speakers, maybe 1% of the local population. But they are still mandated to be there because of linguistic rights and yada yada yada.
Freeda Peeple definitely! I know this because I am from Vancouver and I have been in the French immersion program all my life.
@Canadian I assumed that because this tourist was speaking in English, they perhaps spoke to him exclusively in English. I often hear monolingual people "announcing" that hardly anyone speaks anything but their language. Naturally, people will oblige a visitor by using the language in which the guest is most comfortable.
I know I found this frustrating when I hoped for a more immersive experience abroad - people wanted to practice their English or whatever when we wanted to try theirs 😏
I think what he was getting at is that the only place you would *need* to know some French is Quebec. I've been to a few small French communities and have never had an issue with communication.
New Brunswick is the only bilingual province in Canada. That was not mentioned in the video. All signs are in both languages there. Also, in Montreal you can get away with just English better than in places like Quebec City. Depends where in Quebec you go. Very rural communities may speak no English.
Canadian here- great video. I agree with most of your points but feel it only right to warn people that Tim Horton's is no longer owned by a Canadian company and has drastically changed. It now totally sucks. People still go there because there is a Timmy's on every corner, but it's turning into a Burger King.
Back in the day Tim's was a BAKERY- their donuts/Timbits were made on site, they sold great sandwiches and their tea and coffee was really good. In fact, their coffee made them famous. Now, however, everything is "fast food" garbage and not good quality, their tea is utterly horrible and their coffee stinks. In an ironic twist, the coffee that made Tim's famous was switched just after they were (sadly) sold to a foreign company (parent company of Burger King....!)and is now the coffee sold at Canadian McDonald's! So, if you want Tim Horton's coffee, you have to go to Mickey's. Sheesh!
Also, as a final slap in the face to Canadians, the very popular Tim Horton's "Roll Up The Rim" contest is bullshit now. Used to be you could win a free coffee or tea, or a donut and other increasingly great prizes etc. up to a t.v. to a car with greater frequency. Now, the frequency of winners is very low and the car you "win" is only a lease! I have a batchelor pal who practically lives at Tim's- he used to get so many "Roll Up the Rim" wins (small stuff, but fun) that we averaged it to one out of three. RUTR is on now and has been for over 10 days and he has won NADA. Hmmmn... Nor have a lot of other people. Double-double hmmmn.....
There was a time when Canadians would talk about how good Tim's was- now we just talk about how much it sucks. My 4 teens and their friends are going there less and less. That tells you something!
Sadly, Tim Horton's is no longer Canadian OR good. So, if you come to Canada -and we hope you do-, go to a LOCALLY owned coffee shop for a slice of Canadiana. We no longer have a national one.
🇨🇦
I agree 100 percent. The whole chain is obviously in trouble because they keep changing the menu. We don't go there anymore. Even the items they did keep have different recipes.
On the brighter side lots of real doughnut shops are popping up.
Still better than most Americans are used to. Notice this isn't even a year old vid. it hasn't been owned Canadian for many many years.
I have made Tim hortons cups and roll up for 19 years. Frequency has not changed and they only had lease vehicles for a few years. It is back to owned.
Agree about Tim Horton’s. McDonalds McCafe made a great move. They switched to “Timmy’s” (Cdns call Tim Horton’s “Timmy’s” ) to Timmy’s old supplier that had the great coffee. Now McDonalds serves the better coffee. Timmy’s coffee now tastes like dishwater. Horrible

I have been watching your all-inclusive videos and this one popped up on my feed, so I wanted to check it out. As a Canadian it was so nice to hear your kind words. I am so extremely proud to be Canadian and to live in one of the most beautiful and safe countries on the planet. I have had the opportunity to work all across this big beautiful country and no matter where I go I feel safe and welcomed. Also, thank you for the reminder of how incredibly beautiful and amazing Canada is. Now go grab a double-double at Timmies and put your feet up. Thanks, eh! :)
I've lived in Canada all my life. I've been in every province except PEI and Newfoundland, but there's so much more I want to see. I've barely scratched the surface.
Mhm, same
Lived here all my life. Wouldn't live anywhere else.

I think “ eh” is an eastern and central Canada thing. I rarely hear it here in B.C. what do other Canadians think??
I agree I'm from the eastern coast of Canada so yee
From the west, B.C. born...nope dont hear that at all here

we say it a lot in Montreal when speaking english
Very common in Atlantic Canada
@2:19 Anne is looking a little different these days. 🤔😂 *_Pro Tip_* - Do not use your cell phone while driving on the highway or in the city. It is against the law to even hold your phone in your hand while driving...or even at a stop. I think the very strict distracted driving laws and fines are one of the biggest shocks to Americans...wish similar laws existed in the states actually. Love Canada. Love this video! 👍
Me too my friend. Me too
i think she got stung by a whole beehive full of bees... its all i can think of :)
Cell phone laws like that do exist in some states (Washington, Oregon, and California for sure).
+Adventure is my Middle Name Yes. You are correct. In my original comment I included the massive fines ($500 to $3000) and automatic diving privilege suspension in some provinces in Canada even for a first offense. Losing your license for three days for holding your phone is very strict but could be what's needed here in the U.S. I cut out that part because it was getting wordy.
We have those same laws in California. Don't even think of having your phone anywhere near you while you're driving.
Dude. None of this shocks me, but then I'm in Detroit. Canada's local; California's a foreign country.
And we have Timmy's here, too.

Canadian here. We don't all love hockey or maple syrup, you see those things when doing touristy activities because it's what you expect to find in Canada so we provide it.
Skoozi oui c’est vrai,c’est plus Québécois où encore des canadiens-français....😁
I’m a Floridian and I LOVE hockey!! How can you not love it? Way better than any sport in the world. I have friends who have no care for American sports yet love hockey. Thanks Canada!

@@darrylparks6053 no they are the food
When I visited Canada from the United States few months ago; I was deeply shocked how polite and nice Canadians are, I thought stereotypes are nothing so I disregard it until I encountered locals in Niagara Falls, Ontario. When I was eating a breakfast in McDonalds one man looked at me smiling and he said good morning, and when I was about to eat last piece of pancake but it fell off he chuckled and so did I. I couldn’t imagine how generous these people are, and when I was in park walking a man was jogging and looked at me saying have a great day.
As an American college student, I used to love going to Canada as it was friendly country with great beer, beautiful women, amazing breakfasts and desserts (esp. Chocoloate) all at affordable prices.
As someone who has lived in Canada her entire life, I am most shocked about how much I take this county for granted. That being said, I have only lived in the less touristy provinces- Saskatchewan but mostly Manitoba.
The snow here starts to become a pain when it lasts half the year..but I gotta stop and admire it more. Living in the flat areas, you can see so much of the beautiful prarie skies, sunsets are amazing here. I grew up more Northern MB near cystal clear lakes and forests of pine trees. Camping was a great break from busy life.
Anyway, thanks for helping me appreciate it more from a tourists viewpoint. Glad you and others felt welcomed❤
Most people around the world take it for granted it they even think about it at all!
Canada is a great place to visit as long as you don't turn your brain off....
Remember that we have criminals and not everyone will be as nice as you may be expecting, if you find an area that looks sketchy then stay clear of it.
Wild animals in Canada are still WILD ANIMALS and some (like Bears, Wolves, Bobcats and Moose) are extremely dangerous, also Canadian Geese have no problem attacking people if they get pissed off or if they just feel like it....
If you go to Peggy's Cove in NS..... Stay off the rocks (lots of signs), every year we hear about tourists being washed away into the ocean. Some make it and others don't.
Very true. Very true.
Oh those geese! They are in our yard often and have no problem going after our 100lb dog!
Canadian geese are jerks. The summer camp I worked for in Pennsylvania had a family and we carried a water pistol that shot far and hard with us. You would think 2000 people would scare them away, but no.
Do you mean "Canada Geese"?
Gordon Reiher .. I've never heard someone say "Canada Geese", has always been "Canadian Geese" around me.. maybe it depends on the region someone is from (?)
You are so jolly. I really enjoyed this video - thanks for showcasing my home and native land :)
Finally, a top 10 that got it right. Good job dude.
Cheers!
I'm Canadian and on the contrary, I find Southern Americans to be ultra friendly. My family vacation a lot and every time I run into an American from the south, they chat my ear off and are always so nice.
That's good old southern hospitality for you. Super friendly and causing permanent disfigurement at the same time.
Thx

Great Video,... I'm sharing on facebook!!
I remember as a child being at my friends and we didn't have chocolate so we made 'duncan' bars!!
David S-L Nanaimo bars aren't anywhere else??? what???
@@kaitling6527 nope, they are a Canadian thing
Nanaimo bars are the best!
I tried nanaimo bars for the first time in Windsor. And, probably because we were in Ontario, they had every flavor of tart you could possibly imagine. Buffet at Caesars Windsor.
THANK YOU for not just flying to Toronto and then saying you've "been to Canada". That alone gets a like from me for this video! On the reverse, one thing that shocks me about the US is that you sell liquor outside of liquor stores, like in grocery stores and gas stations. Liquor sales are much more controlled here. The sense of safety comes from treating education and healthcare as a right, and treating gun ownership as a privilege.
I'm from Pennsylvania, so I'm used to getting liquor in government stores like Quebec also has.
There are politicians in Pennsylvania trying to get rid of it, but I find our liquor prices to be generally more affordable than neighboring states.
As a Canadian I love this video..
I speak French and I’m from Ontario
Lots of people speak French in Canada that aren’t from Quebec 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Oui C'est vrai de Red Deer
There's around a million of us outside Quebec but it is true that most (certainly not all) of us are in parts of Ontario and New Brunswick fairly close to Quebec.
I thought of this, too, but ultimately the areas where French may be somewhat (or entirely) necessary to have a comfortable experience are in Quebec, so I let it go. Funnily enough, there are Quebecois who believe that all francophones in other provinces are just displaced Quebecois. I am always happy to burst that ridiculous bubble!
Sandy Louis I am sorry if I sounded mean. I was just trying to say a fact and did not mean to offend anyone. Sorry
@Rob Melrose As a native francophone québécois (but native-level bilingual due to early exposure to English) who speaks English with a distinctively anglo-Montrealer/Quebec City anglo hybrid accent (yes, Quebec City has an old but small anglo community - lot of Irish roots - I went to anglophone high schools there - I sound like a Montreal anglo with a dash of Brit/Irish) who's got dozens of anglo-Montrealer friends, I feel for ya, mate. The pinheads suck but most folks, especially in the Montreal and Ottawa regions know that there hasn't been any clear linguistic lines since 1763. Cheers from Ottawa.
As a Canadian I totally loved this. Cool to hear it from an outside perspective. As per usual you nailed it right on the head.
Thank you

Manitoba is a beautiful place! When you get the chance to see the prairies in full summer with the Big Sky above, and the grasses below, it's breathtaking. we also have beautiful forest spaces scattered around, particularly in the Whiteshell, and let's not forget that we are home to the National Museum for Human Rights, and have a strong francophone community as well. Don't write-off Manitoba because it's not all Canadian Shield and mountains.

@@SoldierFox1393 Well, sir. We would all like to write our own reviews.
I met some Canadians in Barbados. They are really nice and polite. I am a Fleming from Belgium. In my eyes they are still very European. More then the people in the South of the USA.
Of course we are
We were a colony of Great Britain
In WW 2, Belgium was mostly liberated by Canadian troops.
Bruno Pinkhof do you
Know what that was most likely because he were able to make our own military decision then unlike ww1 were Great Britain made theme for us
Belgium has nothing to do with Canada’s existence or heritage
there were settlers in Canada before the acadians came and the then Europeans came along
First Nations are the reason Canada’s culture and existence
it was just taken then taken again by the Europeans
@@madisonthorne4181 The Acadians WHERE Europeans
A couple of extra pointers (mainly for Americans):
- Canada uses the Metric system almost everywhere (e.g: temperature, distance), though they still use both Metric and Imperial units in a few cases such as measuring height and weight. Many Canadians prefer to express their height and weight in feet and pounds rather than metres and kilograms.
- Canada is a constitutional monarchy and part of the British Commonwealth.
- Basketball and Baseball are also heavily popular in Canada. Even though the Toronto Raptors (Basketball) and the Toronto Blue Jays (Baseball) are Toronto's teams, they are widely considered Canada's teams as well. Currently, they are the only Canadian teams in their respective sports.
- Canadians are very proud of their contributions to the entertainment industry in general be it music, films, etc... For example, to name some popular Canadian singers/bands:
- Paul Anka
- Rush
- Corey Hart
- Men Without Hats
- Bryan Adams
- Avril Lavigne
- Celine Dion
- Justin Bieber
- Carly Rae Jepsen
- Drake
Aww, such a nice video, thanks! I'm born and raised in Toronto, and I totally agree with everything you said. We never even have to lock our car or house at night, even in the big city. You can walk the streets in Toronto at 2 AM and feel very safe. No bars on the windows here!
Wait, the rest of the world doesn't have bagged milk???
some places do. many do not. in particular, the US does not :P
Sir, not even most of Canada has bagged milk
Yes, I saw bagged milk in Toronto, but not in Alberta. It did surprise me
I've heard that some European countries also have bagged milk.
It's mostly just those of us in Ontario and Quebec that have bagged milk, I believe.
Ruffles All Dressed chips....God Bless Canada!

Canadian junk food is really something special, let me tell you.

Thank you Wolter! Finally somebody got it right! Love you video! Great facts about Canada! Wouldn't trade it for the world!
Great video. The only thing I would refute- Tim Hortons is not your friend. It is a U.S. owned corporation that only cares about your money. Try a locally owned coffee shop or restaurant. You'll get much better food and a more authentic experience!
Megan Rodgers & the food is Crap at Timmies😔.
Lately quality has gone down the drain
Megan Rodgers ever since timmies got bought out by that American company the food and service has gone drastically down hill.
The donuts and bread are really doughy and all have the same sweet after taste. The coffee is not fresh, they lie when they right the times it was brewed (source: know a few people who work(ed) there), and it's always burnt.
Its not Delivery Its Delissio I hate the doughnuts now. They used to be so much better and fresher a long time ago.
This is exactly what I was just going to comment. Shop local! There's a ton of independent cafes to serve you and excellent cup of coffee. Way better than timmies.
Canada is a simple land. For instance. They only two seasons. Winter and July.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 dont forget hockey season
July is otherwise known as road construction season. 😀
Winter and the last winter 😉
lol winter and construction
Incorrect. You must be from elsewhere.
The two Canadian seasons are Hockey & Construction.
Thanks Mark! You and your family are welcome here any time 🤗 Everything you've shared is true 👍🏻 We are blessed w a massive country with so much natural resources and beauty, that we often take it for granted.

Love the fact this video came out the day after I return from Stratford Ontario. I agree 100% with the fact that there are a lot of friendly individuals I had people say good morning to me who I passed out on a walking path.
I loved the video and the energy! Definitely gotta visit soon! :D
For any actual tourists browsing the comments (most of us seem to be Canadians intrigued by what non-Canadians think about visiting here, lol), keep in mind that the size of Canada results in a LOT of regionalisms. Newfoundland is very different from Quebec, and both are very different from Ontario, and that's just three eastern provinces. There can even be big differences within a province. In my own home province of Newfoundland, there's a difference in culture between the city of St. John's and the rural towns around the coast (though most "come-from-aways" as we call them don't notice it until they've been here long enough to pick up on it, usually a few months or so). For travellers from the USA, just think about how much difference there is between the people and cultures in Texas, Washington State, and New York City. Canada is no different; we generally love being Canadian, but being Canadian can mean something a little different, depending on where in Canada you are and which Canadian you're asking.
I usually just tell friends in France and the UK "we've got twice the surface area of the EU and more time zones" and "driving across Canada is like driving Paris to Moscow BOTH WAYS".
French also in New Brunswick as it's bilingual
Lots of French in Ontario
Aren't those right next to Quebec as mentioned in the video?
Wolters World In Ontario you see a lot of French because it is the home of our nations capital city of Ottawa. Lots of policy making happens there, plus cities like Ottawa and Toronto house many cultural buildings and historical sites which are all rooted in the French and English languages.
Although, New Brunswick is actually the only official “bilingual” province in Canada. Quebec’s official language is French so it’s technically a unilingual province. Fun fact as well, the territory of Nunavut is technically is tri-lingual as along with English and French one of their official languages is the Indigenous language of Inuktitut.
Quebec and New Brunswick do share a border, however they are very different places with very different communities. Same with Quebec and Ontario.
I’m glad you enjoyed your time here in our beautiful Canada. If you have any other questions about the culture, history, or languages don’t hesitate to ask.
Northern Ontario has a lot of cities that are in majority french too
As do Alberta and Saskatchewan... People think Quebec is the only French speaking part of Canada because we're the only ones who fought to keep their French heritage as a majority.
There are some Francophones in Manitoba too.
