I remember when I went to France. Everywhere I went before I would say anything, I would be told...you're Canadian and I asked, how do you know? I was told Canadians are always smiling. Sweet.
In my case, it was my French Canadian (Québecois) accent that gave me away ... they kept calling us their cousins. LOL
There's a lot of goodwill towards Canadians over there ... when I went to Spain, we were also very well received to my surprise.
Tip: Always use the word "Bonjour" when entering a commerce over there, it's a sign of politeness and they will appreciate it.
I'll never forget the time me and my daughter were in Canada for a hockey game. I was behind another car at a red light. The light turned green and the guy didn't go for like 30 seconds. I gave him a light tap on the horn. Next thing you know I see the flash of red and blue lights behind me. I think to myself what did I do wrong now? I pull over and the policemen asks me what I was doing at the light back there. I ask him what does he mean? He asks me about my horn? I inform him that the car ahead was not moving when the light turned green. He says "Well up here we're a little more polite than that. You need to watch yourself". After that I knew that Canadians take their politeness seriously.
Great story! Reminds me of my brother, we’re Canucks BTW, driving a rented car in San Francisco. He stopped at the light when it turned yellow. The woman behind him leaned on the horn.... he couldn’t believe the rudeness. It’s obviously a cultural thing.
@@therealberlinsylvie So what are you supposed to do in Canada if the car in front of you doesn't move?
I call bullsh*t on this story. The gotten is absolutely to let someone know to move...or alert oblivious pedestrians not too keep jaywalking. Guess it depends on the province... but I've never seen or heard of police pulling you over for honking your horn. 🤔🤷♂️
My wife and I went to Toronto on our honeymoon, and we returned with the kids several years later. Growing up in Michigan, my parents and I traveled and camped several times in Canada (and I can actually say that I've been to Wawa.) My "timmy's" coffee mug is one of my most treasured possessions.
And yeah, RUSH rocks!!!
RIP Neil Peart
🤟😎👍
Good Ole Wawa. I go there for work all winter
Hello my northern brothers. I am a transplanted Michigander living in Arizona but always miss my northern homeland. I often refer to Michigan as "Canada light." Twice the crime, no free health care but the exact same shitty weather.
😂
Another name for Michigan- “Can’tada”
Michigan is sort of “diet Canada”
Maybe southern Canadian weather
@@daniellysohirka5079 To the rest of the Planet, Southern Canada is still Canada. Anything over 4 ft of snow is all the same.
If you have to ask where the nearest Timmie's is your not from around here. Walk ten minutes in any direction in any populated area, and you'll bump into a Timmie's.
very true. -Adam
Love your channel, recently subscribed. As an American, I have nothing but respect for Canada and her people. I am sure there are millions more down here that feel the same way.
Awe the feeling is mutual. We miss travelling to the states. :( hopefully Covid gets Under control soon. Thanks so much for the nice words Michael! -Adam
We love you in the US too!!! I can tell you that I celebrated when Biden won, and when you guys confirmed Merrick Garland and got the Covid relief package. We want our US neighbours to feel better post Covid and Trump and have our border open again. I think I speak for millions of Canadians too, that we love our American neighbours. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸
@@christinevr7698 Thank you Christine! I have always wanted to travel to Canada especially in both summer and winter. I am curious though, how expensive produce is in Canada since the cold weather probably isn't ideal for growing most vegetables and fruits.
Awesome they mentioned RUSH , the greatest band (being a loyal and devoted fan myself) in history !!! CANADA ROCKS!
Sorry, I never liked rush, I always change the station when I hear a song. I would say the tragically hip is the better band.
@@kevinW826 No problem everybody is entitled to their opinion nevertheless Rush is still an incredible band loved and admired by artists and fans alike !!
Rush sucks! Ooooooooo fight’s on, fellow Canuck! Lol
@@buddyboy4200 Does not change the fact that they are LEGENDS and will go down in history as masters of their craft !! Cheers fellow Canuck !!!!!!!
@@dianaa9826 As much as I do not like rush, I did actually go see them live and met Geddy Lee. Their talent is undeniable. BUT! If you roast 40 chickens for an hour and a half in front of me, I’m leaving early to go get some chicken. Lol
I don't think me calling Tim Hortons Timmy's with my Jersey accent is going to pull the wool over anyone's eyes in Canada.
His accent seems weird but he said Timmies.. he must be legit.
@@danil.m.5799 You could maybe pass as an immigrant who's lived in Canada for a bit?
Ya but we may like you more
Yeah, me saying Timmy’s in my syrupy southern accent wouldn’t fool anyone either 🤣
They forgot one, never get in the way of a moose, or taunt one.
Also, polar bears don't like to be petted.
moose are borderline rhinos; i wonder if they have to use those "elephant" guns when they hunt em? miss the shot, you might not get another before you're crossing the River Styx
As an Aussie, we love all Canadians.
From a Canadian we love all Aussies too :D
I recently saw Jai Courtney on a U.S. talk show, I think Colbert.
Stephen asked him
"What do Aussies like about Americans?"
And Jai answered
"Aussies like Canadians."
In 1994, Canada's Parliament passed the National Sports of Canada Act, which declared two national sports. Ice hockey became the country's official winter sport, while lacrosse became the official summer sport
Thank you!
Go Toronto Rock!
Does the CFL not count? Ottawa Rough Riders vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders!
The Tim Hortons reputation is no longer sacred. Lots of Tim’s criticism by Canadians now ...but.... there are still long line ups at the drive through 😆
that is because they Americanized it by putting tons of extra shit on the menu that most people don't want and wait times are longer per order now because of these snowflakes going to Timmies and ordering an Egg McMuffin.
I’d take McDonald’s coffee (the old Tim Hortons recipe they sold to McDonald’s) any day of the week. Timmies coffee is disgusting 🤢
About 10 years ago, my wife's nieces and nephews moved to Toronto from Vietnam. Not being able to speak English for the first few years, things were tough for awhile. They eventually got good jobs and are thriving now. A couple of years ago when we travelled to see them, they could speak English enough to communicate with me. The oldest niece said to me, "Tim Horton's, Tim Horton's! Why so many? Tim Horton"s too many! Why?" I answered, "Because Canada."
We moved out of TO to a small town in Southern Ontario, pop 50,000. There are NINE Tims outlets in town - all busy.
😂 sounds about right. - Adam
@@CanadiansReact Aboot
how cute that you think 50,000 people is a small town lol
@@Shimmeringhook lol agreed
only 9, Saint John NB pop 60k has 30 Timmies last I counted.
Tim Hortons was bought by Burger King but ironically they're both owned by a Brazilian company, 3G Capital Investments.
That’s why Timmies is going downhill.
NO, Tim Hortons was bought by Wendy's.
I'm a Canadian, pretty much everyone I know agrees that Tim Hortons isn't really good anymore, it used to be great, but the quality has gone down over the years. If you come to Canada and trash talk against Tim Hortons, we're probably gonna nod in agreement. That's in Québec though.
Same in BC
Same in the Prairies.
Yeah it isn't really Canadian anymore. Still a great donut 😊
same in NB, went to shit the second they sold it to an American, go figure.
Same. And before I moved from Alberta to Ontario, I'd never once heard anyone refer to it as "Timmy's". I think it's an eastern thing. Still sounds stupid to me.
I have such a good impression of Canadians from my time in the navy. They would always send an invite to other ships, to come over and try moose milk :) Really great people. I´m fascinated with the beauty of Canada when watching videoes. You have such a vast and beautyfull nature with so many different types of animals. Much love from Denmark
It’s all very true. Thanks so much for your kind words :). We’re not a perfect country but it’s pretty great! -Adam
Haha, moose milk invitations!
When we're not dropping off Canadian rye whiskey on "disputed" islands.
Howdy neighbor, we now share a land border on Hans Island.
So now we have the longest undefended border in the south as well as the shortest undefended border in the north.
I live just across the border in the US, and I miss going to Canada! Love Canada sfm! Can’t wait until this pandemic is over so we can visit our neighbors to the north again ❤️
I love south of Seattle, and I try to visit Vancouver Island at least once a year. I miss you, Canada🇨🇦
Especially BC!
/ Love ya, too !
Just a few hours ago I was at the local Timmies and saw a guy walking around outside wearing a toque, mitts, winter coat, boots and SHORTS. I'm in Peterborough, Ontario and the temperature now is -4C. Only in Canada.
😂
Hey, I've been known to go to my community mailbox in bare feet & shorts, I mean I don't do it when it's -40, but, -10 is fine, it's only 1/2 a block away & I always wonder what people think when they see my footprints in the snow, "maybe we'll have to keep a lookout for bigfoot"...
@@bigfatbaataed LOL! Crazy Canucks eh?
So very true!!! I see it every year. + 5C - 10C on a sunny day is practically sunbathing for some people around here, in Hamilton.
Was probably my husband.
Canada isn’t the only place Hollywood makes fun of with exaggerated accents. They make fun of other areas of USA with exaggerated accents.
Im from Panama, i lived in Toronto for 2 yrs and I still dont get why u guys hate the ttc hahah, it was so good to me!! always on time and cheap (for canada) and clean!
I understand your point about Tim Hortons. Some things are home grown, and people think about it as they might a family business. To have Wendy's buy it is kind of a slap in the face for all those years of community support. For us here in the States, a rough equivalent might be when Renault bought American Motors. It just felt wrong.
Yeah exactly! For something that identifies with a culture so clearly it's almost a must that it remain owned by that country. -Adam
I think Wendy's sold Timmy's to Burger King a few years back.
I love watching CZcams channels from other countries. It just shows me that people are basically the same no matter where they're born. Canada is our closest ally and trading partner. And I hate to show my age here, but how could you not love a country that gave the world Bachman-Turner Overdrive and John Candy?! Not to mention the huge crush I've always had on Anna Paquin. Lol! I'm a truck driver and was talking to a Canadian driver once about how much I love poutine. He said he'd willingly trade their poutine for our biscuits and gravy. I'd take that deal! Edmonton, Alberta is the number one destination on my bucket list by the way. I'm trying to visit that mall!!! 🇺🇲🤝 🇨🇦 Long live Jordan Peterson by the way.
I would say the video is pretty accurate. Rush is the greatest rock trio ever, Tim Hortons is awesome, Toronto does a fantastic food, and never ever mess with the customer agents. They pull you over and tear your car apart and not put it back together, true statement.
Yeah ... and leave your guns at home, we are a lot stricter about those in Canada.
That 2nd Amendment thing is not recognized in Canada.
You guys are fun! Way before my dad passed away, we used to go to Montreal for a few days to a week to see the Canadian Grand Prix. I loved the trips. Yes, even though we were US citizens, we brought our passports with us and that was in the 80s and 90s. Canada felt like a mix of Europe and a much more polite and dignified type of people than in the states. That's not saying that everyone and every place were like that. However, it was nice seeing a clean major city. The metro was impressive. It was quiet and clean and not scary. I loved old Montreal. It really felt like Europe. I have relatives in Toronto (the capital, hahaha!) and hope to go there someday, but Montreal will always be in my heart. In the meantime, it's fun to see you guys and to hear what you have to say, eh?
Thanks for that great story Lewis! Yeah ya gotta come check out Toronto where Ryan and I are from. But I love Montreal a lot to. And Ryan is a big car guy. Maybe come to Toronto for the Indy! -Adam
As a native Montrealer, I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed your trips here! We hope you will visit us again! Our family has also travelled quite a lot throughout the US for both work and pleasure and have always enjoyed the interesting local sights and appreciated your hospitality (yes, even in NYC)!
If you want a feeling of old Europe then Québec City is a must see ... believe me you will not be disapointed.
It's the oldest city in North America and it's also the most pittoresque and beautiful, it's like going back in time.
When my sister and her husband visit from TRONTO 😂 and bring that REAL maple syrup each year, I am the envy of my street.... friends you never knew you had find any excuse to drop by and I must admit my 'maple-syrup snobbery' kicks in, lecturing those syrup heathen 😁
Growing up in Ohio, we had a lot of Tim Horton's. Also, I loved visiting Toronto!
After watching that video I started to noticed your accent when you said "about", "house", "outside" lol. Amazing video guys!!!
Thank you! :) -Adam
What is the equivalent of racism on Canadian accents? we don't have those accents but we do say some of them in jest. Not the norm but we still think it's "kinda" funny.
This was actually good to know. Not that Canada is on my bucket list, so I’m not going there anytime soon, but “Knowledge is Power,” and I’m a very powerful guy
If you want good cheap coffee in Canada, go to McDonald's. When Timmie's was sold (again), the new owners stopped using the original Tim Horton's roasting company and McDonald's Canada walked right in and made a deal.
Would love for you guys to visit south Louisiana (areas in and around Lafayette Louisiana), home of Cajuns. Our ancestors were Acadians originally from the area of Nova Scotia area. Our summers are horrible for heat and humidity but our winters are mild. Great food and plenty of festivals when COVID has passed.
Maybe one day! Can't wait to travel again :) -Adam
I’m one Canadian that loves Louisiana! Honestly, the people are like Canadians but with southern accents and warmer weather! ❤️
@@flotaylor8170 our summer is as harsh as your winter.
I spent time in Lafayette so I could visit Avery Island and the Tabasco store. Awesome people but honestly I can say the same for any State that I've visited. I find that Americans are typically as friendly as we Canadians are. Even more so than Torontonians eh?
@@billpemberton3982 I thought Toronto was basically the neat version of NYC with nicer people?
I grew up in the northeastern section of PA...near the Poconos and people would say we sounded like we were from Canada....parts of Michigan outside of Detroit really sound Canadian!!
I'm a Canadian nurse and worked in NC for 20 years. People there used to always ask me if I was from West Virginia. Something about the way I said "about" lol
@@vickiharrington8870 same think...about....you guys...eh.....yah
I'm from Northwestern Pa and people have told me and my family that we have an accent. I guess it's called a PA accent. Lol. I don't hear it though. Lol.
There are worse things in life... consider yourself blessed !
I knew an Italian guy who called it Timmy Hortinos, I was calling it that for a while, it's catchy lol
Hockey is our winter sport officially, lacrosse is our summer sport. Windows kept falling out of the high-rise development down on the Lakeshore... pretty funny unless you own one or happen to be walking underneath. Love the videos. Was a Stouffville boy, kinda feels like being back home. Thanks.
Ahhhhh yes thanks for that clarification! -Adam
It's the same here in Sweden with Stockholm, everyone in Stockholm looks down on people outside of Stockholm.
Guys, Love your channel. I came across a quick and accurate way to convert Celcius temperatures to Fahrenheit for your American viewers. Here 'tis: (1) Take the Celsius temp and double it. (2) Subtract 10% of that new number. (Loosely. You can round up or down & drop anything after the decimal.) (3) Add 32 (because you're going onto the Fahrenheit scale). For example: 18, doubled is 36, less 10% (3 or 4) is 33 or 32, plus 32 is 65 or 64 F. Because the human body can't tell the difference between 64 and 65 F., it shows that the Fahrenheit scale has too many degrees and the Celsius scale is more useful for most things.
Thank you!
Switched my coffee supply from Timmies to Rotten Ronnies quite a while ago. Timmies coffee aint what it used to be.
I see Ontario as the Cali of Canada. The one who's leading the nation but in this sense of developments, innovation and immigration. Let's not also forget being the most populated, and probably having the rest of the country blaming them for national problems and high taxes. lol.
I see BC as the Cali of Canada... Ontario is the New York State of Canada for me, haha
@Al Tee Ottawa
And i see Ontario in California 😂😂😂 and it's weird cause when you look at it like this... Ontario, Ca, the Ca could be for Canada instead of California 😂
You nailed it.
if anyone says anything bad about timmys we all perk our head up like a deer in headlights knowing something's wrong in 10k radius lmfao
Rush will forever make me think of Bubbles now
Love Toronto's PATH Underground. Timmy's is awesome. Rush and John Candy are national treasures of Canada.
🙌
Don't forget Mike Myers and Jim Carrey
The accents are regional. If you live in my neck o' the woods, cigarettes are darts, some of us do say aboot but not all the time and it's tongue in cheek. Letterkenny the TV show is pretty accurate to describe Listowel and SW Ontario. Those slang terms are not used by people in the cities. Just in the country. Rush is a no go. You love Rush or you shut up. lol
Back when I was a kid in Quebec during the 1980s, Dunkin' Donuts were the ubiquitous doughnut chain. Timmies only expanded into Quebec during the 1990s and by the late 2000's, Timmies were just as common as elsewhere in Canada and Dunkin's were pretty much dead in the province.
True ... I'm also a quebecer and Dunkin Donuts are now very rare.
But we’re so grateful you guys have given us T Ho’s!! That’s how we call “Timmys” in the Midwest
😆
"T Ho's" , lol from Toronto.
They are called donut holes. Only Dunkin Donuts calls them munchkins.
Ahhhhh thanks! -Adam
Timbits. Accept no substitutes.
We have a "Path" in NJ. Its called the Hoboken Path. Its a Terminal or Transit Hub which connects all points in NJ through Hoboken to Lower Manhattan (World Trade Center).
Tim Horton was my favorite hockey player. I remember seeing him play a game where someone on the other team tried to fight him. Tim grabbed him and then pinned him on the ice. The guy got 4 minutes for fighting and Horton wasn't awarded a penalty. It was a sad day that he died on his way back to Buffalo after he got the second star after the Sabres beat the Leafs in Toronto.
Yeah such a tragedy eh. - Adam
Very surprised they didn't mention the hip!
Tim Horton's is owned by Burger King now, and they became a Canadian company on paper, and used the Timmies purchase to do that. So they are owned by an American corporation, but that corporation is Canadian on paper. There was a big backlash against BK in the USA for doing this. It was 2017 or 2018 IIRC.
And Timmies used to also be owned by Wendy's in the 80's and 90's but were somehow able to go independent again (Canadian owned) until the BK takeover.
I forgot to add... BK became Canadian on paper because of our much lower business tax up here. That's why Americans were so pissed.
Thanks for the background! -Adam
@@JeffWaynee Tim Hortons and BK are owned by Restaurant Brands International. RBI is majority owned by 3G Capital which is a Brazilian based company.
YES!!! Once Tim’s sold out to outside interests, I actually found the quality of the products went down. The coffee didn’t taste as good. I don’t know if they messed with the recipe, or what but it was NEVER THE SAME. Tell me it wasn’t just me. Did anyone else notice this?
I worked with a former employee, and when Burger King sold out to RBI they stopped each location making their own donuts. Now they make them at a central location, flash freeze them, and then just finish them up at the store. They all taste like gasoline to me now.
The same thing happened when Fairmont bought CP hotels. My mother worked at the Chateau Frontenac for many years and whenever she had to stay the weekend as director on duty, I'd go keep her company. We went there during a break between our sixth and seventh pandemic wave, and it was so bad it was heartbreaking. Service was terrible, redecoration was blingy and gaudy, and everything was outrageously expensive. I felt like the American owners were treating us like captive consumers rather than hotel guests. Like they're going "now that we've got them in one of our rooms, how can we fleece them?" Instead of "how can we give them a wonderful stay to justify the price of the room, so they want to come back and give us good reviews?"
I feel like the American way is to make as much money off you as possible. Period. Companies like Tim's and Canadian Pacific hotels had a certain Canadian pride to them, representing our country and serving our communities. Americans don't care about that, on top of their capitalism being more extreme than ours, they're not Canadian, this isn't their country or communities.
@@michellesheaff3779 oh no… I didn’t know out of country buyers owned Chateau Frontenac/CP hotels! That breaks my heart. Those are our country’s “castles”, our heritage, aren’t they? You are right, there is something inherently real about Canadians- as -business owners. I feel that - money at all costs - way of seeing people as consumers. It feels so pushy and … not Canadian.
I visited Victoria B.C. a few years ago, LOVED it! Want the long, but I saw Craigderoch castle & Hatley Castle (military college now?) Nice people, nice atmosphere.
I live about an hour south of the border, we use to have several Tim Horton's across North Dakota and Minnesota, they all ended up closing after only a year or two in operation.
Nothing more Canadian than two boys drinking beers and watching videos...only thing missing is a bbq!
Around me, we often call Tim Horton's "Timmy Ho's".
Oh for sure bud!
They forgot don't get drunk at a Canadians Bruins game and than try to French Kiss a police dog.
lol say what......
This is the greatest channel on CZcams in my opinion. Belly laughs for days! Thank you gentlemen!
Even though they aren't as popular as Tim Horton's, we've had plenty of Dunkin Donuts in Canada. We had one in my little town of Tracadie NB. It went out of business in the early 90s. I think that's the deal with Dunkin, they just went out of business in Canada as Timmies got their meteoric rise to stardom, which was all pre-2000s.
You men are the best I love hearing you talk I think laughing at oneself is the best therapy someday I will come to Canada I want to because of this video and both of your inputs
Awe thank you thats awesome to hear :) -Adam
I stil remember being just outside Toronto about early 2000s when Krispy Kreme opened...I took my nephews and we made the run..got to the store..the lineS wrapped around the outside like 4 deep and people were waiting from that morning!!!..the drive-thru was about 100 cars and was about a 3 hour wait...I decided to walk in the main entrance....the cheek of me! I was ushered out and told I just cant walk in....The experience was funny for me, who sets his watch on the 'red light' at my local Krispy Kreme..we left and went to Timmys....never followed up on how Krispy Kreme did in Canada after that.
Montreal's night life put's Torontos to shame lol
Had no idea Tim Horton's sold oot.
😂
Burger King bought it
Timmies is awful. I am not a fan. Go ahead and tear them a new one and I won’t be offended in the least!!
@@markmierau5189 nope, I think it was the Wendy's hamburger company that bought Timmys.
@@myahoff wendys owned it until 2006, burger king bought it in 2014
they forgot to mention cannabis laws
I was so excited about 4 years ago we in Minnesota got some Tim Hortons. 3 locations in Minneapolis. But they struggled. And after about 2 years of trying, they all shut down at once.
I don’t know anything about Canada BUT I am a proud member of the RUSH Army! ❤️
The part about people moving to Canada because of the election was so true 😂😂, great video guys. Can’t wait for covid to be over so I can visit Canada.
No it’s not. People say they’re going to move here and they never do because it’s just an empty baseless threat.
It's really hard to legally move to Canada, anyway.
I always laugh when i go down to florida during spring break in march. Americans are walking around with sweaters and tuques and im there in shorts and sandals going swimming
😂 yeah me too -Adam
Hahaha ... so true!
Unless those Americans reside in border states. I'm from Michigan and got odd stares wearing shorts in Vegas in February. It was 50°F (10°C) and I'd flown out of a foot of snow back home.
Mantis Lake im talking about just in florida i didn't mention anywhere else
@@Whitewolf1827 - sorry, wasn't aware of the state stipulation
I've always wondered what Canadians think of Terence & Philip from South Park. Do they find them funny or offensive? Shout out to our neighbours in the great white north! 🇨🇦
South Park is hilarious
Agreed 💯!! South Park is definitely hilarious. 👌🏽
Love South Park!
Toronto... "horrible horrible winters!" Haha thank you for making this NBer laugh
I call my cousin Timbit because his mom is Canadian and they love Tim hortons ☺️👍🏾 you guys are my favorite CZcams channel I love all your stuff . Hopefully I can actually visit Canada one day
i think our accents would give us away not calling tim horton's tim horton's hahaha :P i would love to visit Canada but i'm poor and disabled making travel nearly impossible but its cool to see shows like yours.
Never try to take your weed back over the border.
9:45. Canada’s official *SUMMER* sport is lacrosse; Canada’s official *WINTER* sport is hockey.
NEVER under any circumstance call someone a "Goof" in Canada, if you say that to the wrong person you can expect to be curbstomped. "Goof" is jail/prison slang for an informer, snitch or sex offender.
Maybe, but it also just means someone silly. I think people will figure out what you mean by context.
The Timmies here in WV lasted two years! Now it is a bank!
Lmao that beer kicking in so soon there Adam? 😂
So Canada is a major arms dealer, major oil producer and greenhouse gas emitter, and tortures terrorists (I doubt that last claim). As a American, I couldn't be more proud (warning: sarcasm)! When I was a college student in Vermont in 1988-1991, my friends and I occasional travelled to Quebec specifically to buy some great beer or to go to a bar, since the drinking age was 18 rather than 21. We would just tell the border agents we were visiting for the day. Never had a problem. Sometimes they wouldn't even ask for drivers' licenses; just asked where you lived.
Buddy with the beard has a laugh super similar to Seth Rogen and that alone had me giggling pretty good here
I've heard it called "Hortons" in Nova Scotia but it seems like it's "Tim's" in the other provinces and in Michigan it's "Timmy Hoes." Their coffee is okay but their donuts taste like chemicals.
😂
Western Canadian here... I don't get the 'Timmy's' thing. DEFINATELY an Ontario thing - and the coffee is nothing special. But of course, if it's a Toronto thing it's presumed to be universally Canadian. All that said, Toronto IS a fantastic world-class city - far better theatre and museums than almost anywhere else, and the people are far friendlier than in Vancouver. If only they didn't have unbearable weather for 8 months of the year. TOO hot and TOO humid in the summer and fuck Ontario winters!
You raise a lot of good points. haha - Adam
There are certainly people who don't care for Timmies, but there's 9 of them, just in Chilliwack where I live, and they're always busy. I happen to like their coffee, but my presence is for Folgers Black Silk. To each their own, I say.
I had to go through a whole ordeal once driving into Canada for business. I stupidly told them what I would be doing and for some reason they didn't like it. I waited an hour, drove to the same crossing to a different gate and told them I was visiting a friend, and they said have a good day.
There are a lot more rules about traveling for business. You might even need a visa.
i love that Canadian border patrol tv show they are not messing around! if you get caught with a pocket knife they will arrest you, which would be hard to remember bcz most of us carry one not for self defense but in case we need to cut something or need a screw driver. etc. even as a woman i have one in my purse. anyway they are not messing around!
Actually, lacrosse is our official national summer sport. Hockey is the official national winter sport.
I’m an American and I take exception to anyone disparaging Rush.
here here! - Adam
The Canadian government security at Vancouver Airport came close to getting a kicking, I even got an apology after reading him the politeness charter towards visitors.
I always say Tim Hortons, never Timmies, and I'm Canadian, born and raised. No one in Newfoundland calls Tim Hortons Timmies.
Alright good to know! :) - Adam
i live in nb and also never heard it called timmies,only tims or its full name
We here out in the West don't mind if you want to start saying it now that you've heard we're doing it ;-p #nitimmiesTuesdays czcams.com/video/Tsmnm_IyN8k/video.html
@@erissmith845 I'll pass. Tims or Tim Hortons is enough for me. Timmies sounds ridiculous.
Yeah, it varies a lot from province to province. Here we say Tim Horton's too. I had a friend once from Saskatchewan who called it 'Timmy Ho's' which I had never heard before and which sounded pretty weird to me.
Don't let them fool you. Most Americans see New York exactly as they described Toronto.
I swear us Canadians are the only people that can laugh and embrace our stereotypes
Tim Horton was also a Buffalo Sabre. Therefore, TH was international. As far as money crossing the boarder because of TH, more US money crosses into CA than Canadian dollars crosses into the US. For example, Ford and Chevy produces pickup trucks in CA (and Dodge in Mexico). Those trucks alone will never make up for the the donut exchange.
Shush...our economy relies on stupid and greedy republicans.
Just to point out, the owner of Tim hortons is a Brazilian company
I just found your channel! Good stuff!
Jerry Seinfeld has a joke about donut holes...how can you eat a hole? He calls them donut plugs.
Hope you guys will be able to see the Blue Jays play in Toronto soon. I’m old enough to remember when the Blue Jays played at Sky Dome…although I’m a Yankees fan.
It must be nice living in a place with friendly and positive people like canada.
You guys are too funny! Much love from Michigan. ❤
Rush hour(s) from Toronto all the way to to Hamilton makes Los Angeles seem free-flowing. And BTW, Timmy’s is not all US owned. The International Holding Company that includes Timmy’s is 32% owned by a Brazilian investment firm.
Yes thanks for clarifying :). All I know it’s still not 100% Canadian! -Adam
My whole life I have always felt Canada is America’s little brother. We pick on them a lot and give them a lot of crap “However” we can only pick on them and if anyone messes with Canada we will kick there ass.
There are a lot of Tim Hortons in New York, mainly western New York in cities like Buffalo where a lot Canadians live.
Same in Detroit MI
Most important, "Hockey Town" is in the states. Detroit will always be the home of the octopus and Hockey Town.
Lacrosse was actually formed in the United States, in the state of Maryland, by native Americans.
Good job you guys! SK here 🌾
And regarding the Dunkin Donuts.... I thought we had a lot in Michigan until I went to Boston. 😳😳😳
