- Welcome to Australian Reacts, where an Australian reacts to 'Canada Provinces And Territories Explained! Geography Now'. Australian reacts is a series of checking out a whole range of international videos, based around history, peoples findings or even just random little facts. Some videos teach us more about a countries history and others open the door to something we never knew. Meanwhile any videos on Australia get measure up against real knowledge from a local of "the land down-under". Overall we get to see a glimpse of what this incredible world has to offer and have some laughs along the way!

One correction: Toronto is the capital of Ontario, Ottawa is the capital of Canada. I think they should have done the provinces in order from one coast to the other instead of jumping all over the place and shown the map first while posting the statistics.
They decided on an alphabetic order...not the easiest to follow, unfortunately. You're right coast to coast to coast ismuch easier:
Provinces:
BC-Victoria
AB-Edmonton
SK-Regina
MB-Winnipeg
ON-Toronto
QC-Québec
NB-Fredricton
NS-Halifax
PEI-Charlottetown
NFLD&LBD-St. John's
Territories
YKT-Whitehorse
NWT-Yellowknife
Nunavut-Iqaluit (hope I got the spelling)
@@caralynne2809 Oh, I didn't even catch that they were doing it alphabetically, it seemed just random. lol But yeah, coast to coast would have been better.
That was painful. And the laws of territories are not all made directly by the federal government.
@@caralynne2809 you forgot Nunavut
@@slake9727 I did, oops...no offense...guess it's my pre-1995 education, it makes me forget since it wasn't a Territory at that time. Will remedy it 😀
The territories have delegated powers, while the provinces have constitutional powers.
The territories do elect a legislature at the territory level but only have powers given to it by the federal government.
Provinces, have their powers listed in the constitution of Canada.
Stay safe, stay sane, be well
Thank you, I came down here to say just this. They still make autonomous decisions, they are elected, it's simply a difference in implementation.
@@AdamDavid Similar to how canada had autonomy under the british crown.
Fun fact- I live in Southwestern Ontario near London, Ontario. For me to drive out of my province to the west and stay inside Canada, it takes a full 24 hours of driving just to get out of my province.
Same, or ya know like 20 minutes east to Quebec.
@@michellamoureuxm From London, Ontario to Mattawa (on the Quebec border) is at least a five hour drive.
SK here, drove out to Niagara Falls which took ~36 hours of non-stop driving and pretty much 24 hours of it was spent in Ontario. So can confirm that very fun fact
@@purplemetric22
Can confirm. Saskatchewan/Manitoba; beautiful driving. Ontario; lots of drive hours to cover very little distance.
You should watch “Terry Fox Anything is Possible”
It’s very good.
Interesing fact about the north: in the winter time, the sun doesnt come up for the whole season - it only gets about as bright as dusk.. During the summer season, the sun doesnt go down - just goes around in circles .. 12 midnight is as bright as 12 noon.
Cajuns didn't migrate to Louisiana, they were deported by the British who depossesed them of their homes.
That's still a migration, just a forced migration.
Alberta has a rat patrol. If anyone finds a rat, alive or dead, we call the rat patrol and they take care of it. Rat's can't cross the Rockies, so the rat patrol was set up as rat's were making their way here from the East.
as someone who was born in Newfoundland, Raised in Labrador, to Ontario and landing in Alberta the last 14 years. Alberta is indeed the Texas of Canada 😂
Winnipeg, also called 'Winterpeg'. winter -40c for weeks, summer +40c for weeks. Land flat as a pool table like Saskatchewan.
Quebec is my home province so I can explain the horizontal traffic lights. There are two red lights that are square on the outside. On the inside, the amber light is diamond-shaped and the green light is round. This was adopted by Quebec because it's much easier for colour-blind people to know which is which.
In terms of geography, "The Prairies" are meant to refer to the flatter land in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba, which is in contrast to the Rockies in the west and the Appalachian mountains to the east. Canada is built a bit like a bucket in that sense if you looked at it from left to right, mountains on each side with a flat middle.
The US is the same. The prairies extend down to at least Kansas. Kansas, Saskatchewan, and Ukraine are all huge producers of wheat.
Only reason I know a lot of smaller Canadian towns or cities is that as a Latvian I follow hockey and Canadian junior leagues, QMJHL, WHL and OHL, and they have teams of all kinds of smaller places
There is a joke that your dog can run away in the prairies for 2 days and you can still see him..flat with not much of nothing to see..I am from Canada and am impressed you have taken such a great interest in our country. Great videos
Ha, well I guess Canada and Australia keep proving to be more and more similar!
There's lots to see on the plains! There's nothing to block the view.
I agree, except your smile and voice are addictive. My dog wont run farther than two kilometres from my house. I feed her twice a day :)
Saskatchewan. there's a cartoon on TV with a New York mafia family in the witness protection program that was relocated to Saskatchewan. that is what they are poking fun at.
To learn more about Saskatchewan culture, watch the Canadian TV comedy series Corner Gas.
Yo someone from Saskatchewan here! a prairie aka a steppe is a large grassland plains area, and the main difference between a steppe and a parrie is parries have taller grass.
Plain and Prairie are 2 different words describing the same thing. It's a vast continental grain belt that straddles the Canada-US border. Then US portion is called the Great Plains while our side is referred to as the Prairie. Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba are Canada's 3 prairie provinces. You may remember the word prairie from a 1970s US tv show called 'Little House on the Prairie'.
Only half of Manitoba is Prairie, same as Alberta
@@daniellysohirka5079 Only about 25% of Manitoba is prairie, a third in Saskatchewan, and half of Alberta. The term 'prairie province' isn't in reference to what % is prairie but due to the fact these 3 provinces are where the prairie is located.
Also, the prairie region is the result of an ancient seabed that eventually turned to grassland. That's also why the soil is so fertile.
Since you've been doing Heritage Minutes, the Minute Joseph Tyrell is on the Dinosaur fields in Alberta and there is one about the Acadian Deportation. That little Alaska panhandle that you found strange used to be part of BC. When gold was found in the region, the US threatened to go to war over it, so rather than go to war the British gave it up. The Museum in Manitoba is indeed the one on the Viola Desmond $10 bill. On Newfoundland , Gander Newfoundland took in thousands of Plane People during 9/11. Called Operation Yellow Ribbon ( American reporter Tom Brokaw did a piece on this as well for the 2010 Olympics which I recommend) , a Tony award winning play was based on this. Most students in Canada are required to take 2 years of French usually around grade 7 & 8. This year, there was a maple syrup shortage ( production has been dropping off mostly due to climate change. It's not getting cold enough long enough for a good sap run) and Canada had to tap that reserve that amazed you.
Windsor Ont is the most southern mainland city point in Canada. Windsor is actually South of Detroit Michigan.
Saskatchewan also has a large oil reserves, mining for potash, uranium... We grow a large amount of Mustard, oil seeds and grains.
We have a fun saying here in Alberta: "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes".
Our average temp range in the winter thanks to a phenomenon known as a "Chinook" fluctuates so wildly it's insane. This winter alone we've jumped between -50c all the way up to +26c.
Just super jazzed in general to have someone online FINALLY learn about my province. Those out east and even BC tend to outshine us publically 🤣
And yeah, I've used that line to explain my province to international friends: Alberta is the Texas of Canada. Oil, cowboys, and dirt.
RAT FREE!: yes! We are the only place in the world (aside from the arctics) that doesnt have any rats. A long time ago the provincial Gov set up some sorta buffer zone between Saskatchewan and Alberta where they even went so far as to poison crops the rats were attracted to. We have a provincial number to call for rat sightings and we take a moderate amount of pride in this fact ^-^ (I've gone my whole life and have never seen a rat in Alberta. Plenty of field mice/house mice, but no rats)
I experianced my first Chinook when I went to see my Dad in Calgary it felt weird to be outside in the winter without a jacket
Our Albertan quote that us Albertans have actually connects us that much more with Texas. I have friends all over the world, I was blown away when a friend from Texas had another Texan friend use that phrase. They have the same mindset that it’s a Texas phrase.
The yellow areas are also largely wheat farms and ranch land .
I find funny as a Saskatchewan resident that he thought that Saskatchewan gets floods when we here are getting record settings high temperatures and droughts.
Small error on the Ontario description. The capital of the province of Ontario is Toronto, not Ottawa. Ottawa, despite being located in Ontario, is the capital of the entire country.
The bilingual aspect of Canada is mostly tied into the country at the federal level. Federal politics requires bilingualism and regulations that generally apply to Canada as a whole include english & french requirements. Example being the requirement of nutritional information on food packaging sold in Canada overseen by CFIA (Canada Food Inspection Agency). This is why, for the most part, you will see english and french on packaging together, as it is a federally regulated issue. Also, any services provided by the federal government are required to provide service in both languages.
Aside from the obvious benefits, many people will try to learn english/french, whichever is their non-native language, as it opens more doors for careers at the federal level.
When it comes to each individual province, things differ greatly province to province. Quebec is 'officially' only french and New Brunswick is 'officially' bilingual. The other provinces are 'officially' english. Many people are bilingual in Quebec/Ontario/New Brunswick and across the country, so what is 'official' is mostly a regulatory element and not a reflection of the population as a whole at the individual level. Needless to say, the official language does influence the culture and regulations of the provinces.
Quebec has the highest percentage of bilingual population in Canada even if we are officially a French nation. Being surrounded by an ocean of English, it is useful to have more then a "yes/no/toaster" level of English, especially if you want to work in any kind of job where you have to interact with people. Even the cashier at the gas station or coffee shop needs at least a basic level of English for the odd customer who speaks English.
Oh! I'm from Hamilton, Ontario, too!
Canada's southernmost point is Middle Island, which is in Lake Erie about 5 km south of Pelee Island.
I've seen bay of fundy. It really is amazing.
Resident of Drumheller here, you need to check out the Royal Tyrell Museum.
The southern most point in Ontario is Windsor which is on the border with Detroit.
I'm from Montreal and spent a year in Paris, France. How the accents compare depends. There are many different accents in France, like in every country. Same with in Quebec. Remember, France fits into Quebec like 2 or 3 times. Even though all of the north of Quebec is empty, there is still great distance east/west, and there are some pretty different accents/slang, believe me.
I like to say that French Canadian accents are to French accents as English Canadian accents are to English accents.
17:00 Quebec is recognized as a nation within a nation. To most Quebeckers or Québécois, our Quebec nationality comes before our Canadian one. You can live your whole life without using English at all in Quebec, beside mandatory English class in school. French is also very protected in Quebec because we have had to fight to keep speaking our language. To be able to go to school in English in Quebec at least one of your parents must have gone to school in English, otherwise French school in mandatory. Beside the language, we also have a different origin, history, culture and even a completely different legal system from the ROC (Rest of Canada). Quebec's legal system is based on the French system and not the English one. That is for civil laws, as criminal laws are a federal jurisdiction.
18:30 The 2nd red light is a backup so if the red burns out, there is still one, so you don't cross the intersection on a red light, other then that we have yellow and green. Don't need a backup for yellow and green because you won't cause an accident crossing the intersection on those.
Alberta is rat free (claimed). They have all these protocols for reporting seen rats and they send out teams to exterminate the problem immediately (as well as a bunch of other protocols around trains, planes etc.)
Also they can’t really enter the province from the west because of the mountains. We’ve got loads of rats in BC.
About the maple syrup reserve: main reason is retail price stability and revenue stability. Maple syrup is almost exclusively run by small producers. So the reserve is made to help stabilize the market in bad seasons or too good of a season.
Basically a savings account you can dip into when paycheck is a little lower and you still need to pay rent. (Demand being rent)
FYI : Bosnia is NOT a landlocked country as he thought. Croatia does run down the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic but there is less than a 200 meter gap that gives BIH access to the sea. It's really hard to see on a map. I drove it so I know first hand.
For maple syrup emergencies
Pelee Point is the southernmost point in Canada on Lake Erie. It's a few 100 kilometers south of Niagra Falls. It's slightly north of the northern point of California
The French in Quebec, is close to the French spoken in France in the 16/17th. Century!
the bay of fundy is visible from my kitchen, lol
13:18 Toronto is the capital of the province of Ontario; Ottawa is the capital city of Canada.
yes new Brunswick is officially bilingual meaning every street sign has both english and french quebec only has french ontario has both in the eastern part of suthern ontario but most places its just english. its funny on an Inuit reservation in northern quebec the stop signs are in french and Inuit but the res sign in that shape is the national sign for stop no matter what language it is in
growing up in New Brunswick I was surprised when I went out of the province that the rest of the county's street signs were either in French or Enlish, not in both. Also I've heard of horror storys of peaple flying to Saint John, N.B. and their luggage ending up in St.John's, N.L. because of how similar the names are.
it is now Toronto.
The prairies stretch over three provinces , Wheat , Cattle , Oats , Rattlesnakes , and Bad lands
Nobody says poutine is “good for you.” Plenty of people say poutine is “heart attack on a plate.” It tastes reeeeeeeeal good, though!
I live in Drumheller Alberta and the Royal Tyrell Museum is just down the road. Check it out!
New Foundland is a province. There are 3 territories they are Yukon, North West Territories and Nunivit.
BC means "bring cash" its so expensive
Don't worry about the traffic lights in Quebec. No one pays attention to them anyway. The most exciting ride I was ever on in my lifetime was a taxi ride from the airport to downtown Montreal. I lost count of the traffic violations before we even left the airport area.
i dont beleive you took time to write this unappropriate and false information. Good exemple of the lack of respect of englisg canadians
@@jeanbolduc5818 Were you in that cab. I don't think so. By the way the driver was Italian.
Fun Fact: The province of Alberta was originally given to French Canadians as a new francophone country. After the migration of francophones to Alberta and colonizing the province, the federal government did a 180 and settled a bunch of European immigrants in Alberta, thereby out numbering the French Canadians who were STUCK there because they didn't have the means to return to Québec!
This story is true. I am in my sixties and my father told me this. It was my own grandfather and great-grandfather that helped colonize Alberta. Although my grandfather came to Ontario during the Great Depression, my great-grandfather is buried in Alberta and most of my dad's many cousins, aunts and uncles stayed in Alberta and their descendants still live there.
You’ll never see that truth in a history book!
I never knew this. Merci.
@@donofon101 My dad was born in Morinville. His siblings were born in Legal, Saint-Vincent and other French towns.
A truth you can find in a history book is why that "migration" map of New Brunswick blew his mind. As an Anglo NBer the shortest story, is best for making me feel less bad. England and France are at war, as usual, in 1774. The contest North America. In 1775, GB searches out the French colonists of Acadie and offers an either or proposition. Swear loyalty to GB to keep your land or get in the boat. Many did stay. Many did set sail. Crazy map.
@@trudycolborne2371 The English Canadians of today have no idea the hell they imposed on French Canadians! Especially outside of Québec. The worst part is that the racism is still very much alive today! At least in my province it is. Since 1759 we have been fighting against them and they still haven’t learned that they will never win against the French Canadians.
@@danielfortier2629 That's not my experience here. New Brunswick is the only bilingual province though. It wouldn't make much sense to be bigoted against a third of the population who live beside us. I don't know why you're fighting your own neighbours. What do you think should be done for Canada's First Nations people?
Look into doing a short clip on Hans Island. You'll get a smile out of it!
I live in Sackville -- approx. 50kms away from Moncton. It's pronounced as "monk-ton", but without the hyphen separation and almost skipping the "o" in the ton. Just kind of say it quickly.
Also, blueberry syrup > maple syrup. My husband disagrees, but he's a BC boy. Blueberry syrup is actually more of a Nova Scotia thing. We live 15 minutes away from the nearest Nova Scotia town. Sackville is a bordertown. We're in NB, but closer to NS.
British Columbia: Canada's California
Alberta: Canada's Texas
Saskatchewan: Canada's Nebraska
Manitoba: Canada's Minnesota
Ontario: Canada's New York
Quèbec: Canada's France
New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island: Canada's England
Nova Scotia: Canada's Scotland
Newfoundland: Canada's Ireland
Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut: Canada's Alaska
The point about French in Quèbec being different from French in France: Quèbec French is basically French as it would have sounded 500 years ago. For French speakers from mainland France, it's like stepping into a time machine.
Cape Spear, Newfoundland is not only the Easternmost point in Canada, but in all of North America.
Accurate
That stored maple syrup isn't for emergency, it that you just end up producing that much maple syrup but in order keep supply low and prices high they store it away to keep it off the market.
When I was in Melbourne a Tasmanian chap said, you can substitute Newfy (or Newfoundlander) in a joke and it would be fitting.
I'll add a little more as the host didn't seem to know. Saskatchewan may be known for grain but it's also the Canadian Football (not soccer) heartland. It's probably the only province where hockey isn't #1. The Saskatchewan Roughriders football team are religion there. It's also the province that gave Canada medicare (public health care). Manitoba is home to the Canadian Mint. Labrador (part of Newfoundland & Labrador) is where the dog breed, Lab/Labrador Retriever comes from.
Ottawa also has a mint, not just Winnipeg.
@@cassandrakerwin417 Sure but Winnipeg is the main facility. Ottawa makes collector coins while Winnipeg produces the entire supply of Canadian circulation coins & foreign coins.
This guy seems so sweet! Love from Canada!
Prairies means flat grasslands. In tye US, they refer to those states as "Plains" states whereas in Canada, we call them "Prairie Provinces." (Alberta, Saskatchewan & Manitoba)
The trafic lights are for colorblind eavh color have a shap and rep have 2 light so its easy to know its the red light
Acadians did not migrate as much as were forcefully deported by the English to other colonies or back to France. Some, once in Saint Domingue, ended up in Louisiana. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_of_the_Acadians
I spent 8 mos in Tassie. Newfoundland and Tasmania are very analogous. Half day ferry ride to the mainland; N Sydney NS to Port aux Basques...Devonport. to Melbourne., Two larger population centers: St Johns and Cornerbrook vs Hobart and Launceston. Very nice harbours in both St Johns and Hobart. Lots of smaller semi rural or rural towns in both. English, Scots , Irish settlers. Forestry, fisheries and mining are main occupations. Lots of Hydro electric installations. Both islands virtually exterminated Aboriginal Populations (Beotuks in NFLD... Tasmanian Aborigines in Tassie.) BOGANS everywhere! LOL! (Just kidding!) I was at U Tas in Lonnie (AMC).
😂 not all Canadians have a secret stash of maple syrup on them at all times 😂 but we do like to play up sterio types to mess with non Canadians 😂
what do you mean I do
Prairie is sort of like a Grassland/Savannah
update: with the damage Hurricane Fiona did in the Maritimes, I wonder if that rock formation still exists. Also, it was only in recent times when Newfoundland is now referred to Newfoundland and Labrador. The rock formations near Drumheller are called The Hoodoos. PEI has red soil, and they grows LOTS of potatoes. Politicians and federal employees are expected to be bilingual, especially those in higher positions. There was some criticism about our newest Governor-General Mary Simon, the first indigenous GG in Canadian history because she speaks her native language and English only. She is still expected to learn French. Alberta is not totally flat. My city of Calgary is near Banff, and we are 2-3,000 ft. above sea level. Lastly, on immigration, many humanoids (?) emigrated from Asia over the Bering Strait - when it was still a land bridge- into northern Canada and then further south probably 15-20,000 years ago.
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta are collectively known as the Prairies, I guess its because of their ecosystem and what not. And yes there is a big flood risk, look up the flood of 1997 in Manitoba, our Red River pretty much became the Red Sea, lol.
Also Manitoba has the richest farm soil because during the end of the ice age, the ice sheet moved down the land taking all three soil with it digging huge gouges in the earth. It formed Lake Agassiz which covered eastern Saskatchewan, part of Northern Ontario and all of Manitoba. It was formed 11, 500 years ago and has since dried up. Because of the basin thft
Quebec is like poutine. It's not necessarily good for you but we love it anyway.
southern Ontario call it (toronto) go to the cottage ////////// while northern Ontarians call it camping as in go to camp.
Prairies... Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. All flat (except the mountains start in Alberta) it's all grain and cattle farming. It's a vast expanse similar to the outback in Australia
Saskatchewan has some oil and lots of Potash!
The Prairies are flat grasslands, mostly.
@badplay156 Only about the southern third. The north country is all soft hills, lakes and boreal forest. It's really pretty.
With a ton of mosquitoes and black flies LOL@@Sotto_
@@Kiera_Jackson74
Yes, but not as bad as Manitoba and Northern Ontario. Those can be provincial birds there. Thank goodness for cold winters.
Being Newfie I'm biting my tongue but I will add, that comedy skit was obviously an extremely and poorly exaggerated example of our many accents. Now back to the tongue biting.
P.S. PEI I'm biting it a little for you guys also.
When describing Saskatchewan as a "Prairie Province" means most of it is prairie, as in all grasslands. There are no trees in the southern half of the province. It is also very flat. In terms of the "bread basket" it produces a lot of wheat and durum. They also produce the most lentils in the world. They also produce a lot of canola, chick peas and other cash crops. They do produce some corn, but it is mostly used for feed, as they do have a lot of beef farms. Saskatchewan is a very dry province, almost desert like, however, the northern half of the province does get a little more rain, but the growing season is short, so the selection of crop is limited. If you want to learn more about Saskatchewan, I highly suggest watching vids from Mike Mitchell, he has a channel that shows the daily activities of a farmer in Saskatchewan. He owns one of the largest farms in Canada. czcams.com/channels/RDywryGtWBmac-O4AReYpA.html
Most of us live close to the American border and get their TV stations on basic cable growing up. Territories do have Governments. Alberta is on the map between Saskatchewan and BC. It is big oil, cattle and country music - the Texas of the north.
Things are calming down somewhat. If you've been vaccinated and bonus points if you already caught an got over Omicron and so won't catch it again while traveling you can come see Fundy. Summer weather is really only warm enough in July and August on the coast. If you wanted to come though we'll offer up some hospitality. If you want a road trip driver in the Moncton and Bay of Fundy area I know the area and will happily book a week off this summer to take you sightseeing. The catch is you'd be stuck chatting with a middle aged woman and a 12 year old boy for the trip so we aren't exactly your age group. We live in and know the area though and we've never had the pleasure of encountering an honest to goodness Australian before and would be just as curious about what you find the same or different. If you look in to it and think sure I'll give you contact info.
I'm from Hamilton, Ontario as well (about 1 hour drive west of Toronto) and now live near Vancouver, British Columbia. I've been to every province, except Newfoundland and Labrador and have yet to get to any of the Territories. There is a Heritage Moment about the Klondike Gold Rush but it deals mostly with the North West Mounted Police (early form of the RCMP) and how they kept out, most the 'undesirable' elements from the Gold Fields. The Bay of Fundy photos were of Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick, a short drive south of Moncton. The Confederation Bridge connects PEI to the rest of Canada, opened in 1997. It is 12.9-kilometre (8.0 mi) bridge is Canada's longest bridge and the world's longest bridge over ice-covered water. Before it was built you could only get there by ferry or plane.
The Maple Syrup "Stash": Canada's answer to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Territories have there own governments. In the Yukon its based on consensus.
What I find so bizarre is I can drive to Canada in about 6 hours but we never really learned much about Canada in school. I bet we learned more about Mexico in school than we did Canada. The strangest part is a good chunk of Wisconsin was in Canada for a long period.
That is indeed the one on the banknote, the joke being that it looks like a certain army helmet or something like that, lol.
Hi from BC and no not like California and we're not mostly hippies we are just regular coastal people, I'm half Native and live just off a beach on my People's original village sight (me personally don't like maple syrup) but we do have a hiking trail that goes through our place and I make and sell fudge and crafts to the hikers in my house store.
I think we need to react to you reacting to this. - Love Canadians
Go for it! Would be great to get the other sides perspective :)
I form northwest territories and I used to live in yellowknife and now I live with my hometown whati
Hey man great video!! "Je me souviens" is the devise of the 22 royal regiment aka the Vandooz wich is in service since WW1. Keep up the good work!
Wrong!
« Je me souviens » was written by Eugène-Étienne Taché in 1883 :
Je me souviens / Que né sous le lys / Je croîs sous la rose.
Translated to:
I remember / That born under the lily / I grow under the rose.
(I.e.: the Lily being the floral symbol of France, and the Rose the one for England)
@@Locutus_5618 Alexandre Chabot is not wrong. He never claimed ‘Je me souviens’ on license plates is derived from an army regiment’s motto, only that they share it. But of course you are right about its origin ☺
If you want more information on the Acadians or Cajuns have a look at the heritage moments Acadian deportation
As an Albertan, I have never seen a rat inside of Alberta. Plenty of mice and other critters. No rats.
10:30 First the province name is Newfoundland and Labrador. Newfoundland is one word not two. The island on Newfoundland has its own timezone which is 30 minutes later than Atlantic time which Labrador uses. Newfoundland was once a separate nation (dominion) like Australia and Canada but it failed and lost self-government and was taken over by the UK before deciding to join Canada.
To many Aussies in British Columbia , mostly on working visas at Ski hills 😁
The Acadians didn't migrate, they were deported... big nuance! Québec has french as the official language though a lot of publications are written in both language... and lots of Quebecers speak English as well as French!
Hint: Newfoundland - rhymes with understand.
The Territories are not independently run due to immense size and low population. Adding another level of government would be horribly costly for everyone living there. Here is what I mean:
Yukon Territory has a population of 42,986 people in an area of 482,443 square kilometers.
Nunavut has a population of 33,403 people in an area of 2,093,000 square kilometers.
Northwest Territory has a population of 45,504 in an area of 1,346,000 equated kilometers.
In an area of 3,921,443 square kilometers, the total population is only 121,893. It is almost incomprehensible how sparsely populated that vast area truly is.
The Easternmost Province is Newfoundland and Labrador. Newfoundland is the island, Labrador is part of the mainland. Both were British Colonies until 1949 when the two joined Confederation and became the 10th Province.
The boys are wrong. Ottawa is the Capital City of the Dominion. The Provincial Capital is Toronto.
Quebeçois is a French dialect most closely related to French as spoken in Medieval times. It is fun to hear a person from France trying and failing to converse with someone from Quebec! Acadian is even more different.
Poutine is very similar to English cheesey chips, but with cheese curds instead of cheddar cheese.
Just so you know, -40 degrees is considered a warm day in the winter in any of the Territories. Nighttime lows of -60 are quite common. Too cold for my blood. My brother can have it. Would like to drive up and see for myself. It is 5,300 kilometers each way from where I am in Ontario. The old car should make it. The old boy only has 613,000 kilometers on the clock.
I live on Prince Edward Island. Yes the squeaking sand is true. We are covered with beaches but only 1 makes the loud squeaky sound. We call them the singing sands. Its not a normal sound here.
SPeaking of provinicial capitals: What two Canadian provincial capitals are named for Queen Victoria?
Victoria BC (not surprising) and Regina Sask.
The large vehicles you saw in Churchill are called tundra buggies. They are a custom built ATV, specifically made for viewing polar bears. You would be surprised at the number of tourists worldwide that travel to Churchill. Just for the bears. Manitoba also has the largest number of French Canadians outside of Quebec! There are small towns all over Manitoba who only speak French. My mother-in-law’s own mother never ever learned to speak English! Thanks for the great video!
Re Newfoundland having its own time zone. There's an old Canadian joke: "How do you tell if there's a Canadian in the room? You announce 'The world will end at 8 PM, 8:30 in Newfoundland' ".
PEI and Nova Scotia share the same area phone code of 902
I'm from Alberta... we are Rat Free. The rats can't travel over the mountains from the west, or the vast cold prairies from the east. The only way in is by trains and trucks, usually hauling grain... but we have rat patrols that we can report sightings to, and they will come and exterminate them. I can honestly say I have never seen a rat in Alberta in my lifetime.
Newfoundland, you got new at the beginning, land at the end, and fun in the middle. That’s how I pronounce newfoundland
We are used to Quebec bashing from English Canada ... we have English and French schools in both languages from kindergarden to University ... not the case in the rest of Canada ... Quebec is a distinct society and the best place to live in North America for culture , food , work , design , health , sports and night life ... people are beautiful and international . Montreal ( founded in 1642 ) Quebec city ( 1608 ) were the first cities in the continent of North america

Newfoundland and Labrador are a Provence
Originally from Toronto Ontario and now live in Northern Ontario in French River. I am just a 45 minutes drive to Sudbury the largest city in Northern Ontario.
French in Quebec vs France is like comparing Australian accent to american accent. And we have ( being in a large province ) alot of sub-accent. Quebec protect french as Heritage or else it would have passed to english by now (Je me souvient) i remember my french heritage. Ps. In New Brunswick they have what we call Franglais (Français + Anglais) where they mix alot of word and you end up understanding 1/2 if not bilingual --- Radio-radio Jacuzzi song for example
"Je me souviens" is the devise of the 22 royal regiment aka the Vandooz wich is in service since WW1. Your information is incorrect
@@jeanbolduc5818 as yours is not totally complete. "Je me souviens" is the devise of the province of Québec since 1883. Eugène Étienne-Taché, the architect of the Parliement of Québec engraved it. The 22 royal regiment chose that devise as well in 1914 if I remember correctly.
And Manitoba French is different from the rest but similar enough that you would be anle to get your point across
Great video man! Wish they touched more on Nova Scotia
Thanks, I guess there is always more to learn!
The territories have elected Members of Parliament.
One year they had 6 murders!
Last year they had 43.
Record year is 2019 with 44. They are holding steady.
I think the one year they reference must be 1909.
