  • Welcome to Australian Reacts, where an Australian reacts to all types of videos from around the world! In this video we check out 'Canadian Stereotypes!' and I see how they measure up against real knowledge from a local of "the land down-under". Overall we get to see a glimpse of what this incredible country has to offer and have some laughs along the way!

    It's not 32C one day and then -40C the next(well not generally, LOL!) . Remember, in some of your other Canada themed videos - Canada is HUGE, from above the Arctic Circle to southern Ontario which is south of ALL of the northern US states and on level with northern California! Also we have TRUE four seasons - so the weather transitions from one season to the next gradually,except the west coast(west of the Rocky Mountains) and bordered by the Pacific Ocean which remains fairly moderate year round,at least the southern parts. You can't eat sap directly from the maple tree - it needs to be collected and boiled for a long,long time greatly reducing and concentrating the sugars to create actual syrup.All of this created by the indigenous peoples centuries ago,and they would pour it onto snow and wrap the hardening syrup onto sticks making a sweet treat to eat as is still done today in "Sugar Bushes" mostly in the east in the spring. Maple syrup and natural honey would have been some of the only sources of "sweet" before the sugar cane industry developed.

    Your comment about constantly checking the whether made me laugh cause it is very true. It’s sort of a morning routine thing to check the whether and then prepare accordingly if you’re going out anywhere. It can be especially crazy when a huge amount of snow is said to come so people swarm the grocery store to stock up on food and supplies so they don’t have to go out later. I remember many times when I’ve been getting ready to go somewhere, whether it be school, the store, the park or anything and my dad insisting I bring an emergency jacket and umbrella if need be. He also would always tell us to wear layers all the time so you can stay warm and if you get too warm you just shed them.

    I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. And I get such a huge laugh out of what people think "us Canadians" are like. Toronto can get hot. Really really hot - most houses have air conditioners to deal with this. There are heat advisories all the time. But we do have a cold season, which actually doesn't get too cold till December/January. Snow hopefully arrives for Christmas... but not all the time. Then we are checking the weather constantly because one day can be above freezing, sunny and mild, and the next can be so cold you can't go out without your nostrils freezing. That lasts till about March. Then the thaw begins and it's shorts/tshirts, gardening, camping weather for a good long time.

That being said while the weather is transitioning you CAN get rain, sleet, snow(flurries), and then the sun comes out and your thinking about busting out the fans or air conditioning. Most of Canada is humid, winter or summer, however the prairies and the tundra in the artic tends to be dry ( technically tundra is a cold weather desert) one of the reasons the Canadian military are survival experts, we have every type of climate even rainforrest on the west coast it's just a bit colder than other parts of the world.

    Poutine isn't particularly popular here either, though it is available and so do love it, instead Asian foods are far more common and popular.
    As for the weather, well I live in a temperate rainforest region (think evergreen trees like cedar/fir/pine, lots of moss and a thick undergrowth of bushes and ferns). We might get snow 1-2 days a year, the rest of the winter is just rainy with temps between 0c - 10c on average. During the summer we average 20c - 30c and plenty of sunshine.

    As far as cold goes I live in Winnipeg, Other Canadians often call us “ Winterpeg “. On average we are the coldest city in Canada in the winter, averaging -30 C, but we often go lower. You might think we would consume gallons of hot chocolate in winter. Fun fact for 22 years in a row Winnipeg is the “Slurpee” champion of the world!

    Depending on where you live in Canada it can be super cold (I currently live in an area where -15 to -40°C is common), and Winter generally lasts 6 months of the year for most of Canada. I will point out that various places in Canada can get a random cold snap in Spring & Summer where even in Mid-August you can get a Blizzard of snow that usually disappears in a day or two.
    However, there are places like the Lower Mainland of BC (Vancouver to Hope) that is part of the Temperate Rainforest biome and it is much more rainy than anything else. There is a running gag of the 40 days & nights of rain, and it has gotten to 39 days & 18 hours of rain straight (if it stops raining for a bit it resets, and technically it rains more than it is sunny there). We do have deserts in Canada, but they also go through winter with a little bit of snow (much like deserts in Chile).
    Also maple syrup is not what comes out of maple trees, maple trees give out the equivalent of sweet water. Maple Syrup is what you get after boiling the water out of the sweet water from the trees.

    The majority of Canadians probably never consume maple syrup. "2-6" is 26 fl.oz. of booze. It just one of the typical sizes for Canadian booze bottles. A "40" is the other common booze reference, referring to 40 fl.oz. bottles. The popular spirits here in Canada for both 2-6s and 40s are rum (in white, golden, dark, or spiced dark), rye whiskey (ie Canadian whiskey) or vodka. Although those are the main ones we also consume our fair share of wine, tequila, gin, bourbon, and scotch etc. We also fancy beer and ours typically has a higher alcohol content than American beer. I have some cans in my fridge waiting for me as I write. They have 8% alcohol. (USA Budweisers have 5%. Bud Light is 4.2% Piss in Canada has more alcohol than a Bud Light 😋 ).
