According to Google after Montreal is Vancouver then Calgary then Edmonton then Ottawa then Winnipeg. And greater Toronto seems bigger than 6 million (seems like 10 million)
At 8:10 you mistakenly say that Canada only had four provinces in 1967…….Ca had 10 provinces and two territories and all of the land it occupies today in 1967, which was our Centennial anniversary. I believe you meant 1867
Well, technically Vancouver city proper is smaller than Calgary but the Vancouver metro area has a much larger population than Calgary metro (it’s a bit of a political quirk)
The order of the cities has always been fluid. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver have always been the 3 biggest, but their order changes back and forth. The same thing applies to the next 3 biggest as well. Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg have all fluctuated within the range of #4 to #6. Calgary and Edmonton have outpaced Winnipeg a now, but not by much, and it could still catch back up again, as it was equal to them for many decades. If there is more action at the port in Churchill Manitoba, then Winnipeg will have a big growth spurt too. Quebec City was in the #7 position for a very long time, but I don't know how it stands now. BC and eastern Canada have a lot of medium sized cities, all under 1 million people. The prairies are a wasteland, in nearly every way, but Regina and Saskatoon both manage to sustain fairly large populations as well.
The world's highest tides are in Nova Scotia, not New Brunswick. Though the Bay of Fundy can be accessed by New Brunswick, it borders Nova Scotia, and the Nova Scotia side has the highest tides in the world.
The tides are still pretty high in New Brunswick, and, with the Hopewell Rocks, tidal bore in the Petitcodiac and the Reversing Falls cataract in Saint John, the phenomenon of the Fundy tides is more accessible and better know on the New Brunswick side of the bay.
@MonctonRad Better known? No. We have tidal bore rafting down the Shubenacadie River, and the tidal bore is much more dramatic , hence why there's a park where tourists can go out and experience it. It's one of the most popular tourist attractions in Nova Scotia. The NB tides don't come close, and neither does their tidal bore.
@@MonctonRadhonestly the entire east coast is amazing, and super cool to visit, bith for the tides and ocean, and for the people. I loved it there so much
The Bay Of Fundy borders on both provinces, and roughly equally on both, unless you want to get super petty about small distances. By far most of the world neither knows nor cares about New Brunswick or Nova Scotia. Your petty local squabble means nothing to anyone else. You should both just be proud and happy that you live in such a spectacularly beautiful place. My trip to the east coast of Canada was a once in a lifetime experience. I never expected that it would be so very beautiful! I loved both of those provinces! My only regret is that we couldn't go to PEI. What an awful shame!
@@cattymajiv It's not about the Bay of Fundy, it's about the world's highest tides which are specifically in Nova Scotia, not New Brunswick. And why they are in Nova Scotia is because the Bay of Funday in Nova Scotia channels water through to the Minas Basin inflating the tides even more than the Bay of Fundy. It's on this southern coast of the Minas Basin in Nova Scotia where the tides are the highest in the world. It's called Burntcoat Head.
@@burny6666that's why The Geneva Convention was created in 1864, three years before Canada existed, and half a century before Canada's reported atrocities of WW1. Very forward thinking.
Canada, the second-largest country in the world by land area, is known for its vast and diverse geography. From the Rocky Mountains to the vast tundra of the North, its landscape is rich in natural beauty. A **Geography map** of Canada reveals its extensive coastline, numerous lakes, and national parks, making it a land of both exploration and preservation. With its 10 provinces and 3 territories, Canada is a prime example of how geography influences culture, climate, and biodiversity.
By net area, not total land area. Total land area is 9.093.507 km^2. US net land area is 9.363.498 km^2. But, yes, Canada is larger than the lower 48 .

@@albertlorenzen3048 You know, as a French Canadian and a retired French teacher living in Quebec, I was briefly insulted by the fact that you called my language a creole. They have been trying to teach francophones how to speak a more proper French here, but since even our newscasters and teachers don't speak the language properly, we are giving up on it. But by definition, you're right, our French is a creole. So many English words have seeped through over the years and pronunciations having been mixed in that it has become a creole.🙂
@@TheHeat55 Perhaps "traditional" might be an alternative term? As a language expert you are undoubtedly aware that the Canadian version is not that of France.
One other thing... Canada is not a de-jure country, it is a defacto country. Former Prime Minister Harper is on the record saying that Canada is a defacto country. In simple terms, there are no signed confederation papers to prove that Canada is a lawful de-jure country according to the standards of the Law of Nations. What we do know is that there is a Corporation called Canada registered at 501 Pennsylvania Ave in Washington, DC. It can be found by doing a search by using the EDGAR system on the SEC website. The more we look into things by doing independent research, the more we find that things are not as they seem.
Canada would be a great 51st state for the USA, though I favor each province to be an individual state. What is that, eight new states for the USA. Imagine how crazy that would be! All kidding aside, Canada is a great country and I pray that Canada’s future will be prosperous! The USA should do everything in its power to ensure Canada is very strong! It is vitally important that that relationship is solid, strong and unbreakable!
Theatre- you could have mentioned Stratford on Avon, in Ontario. April to October they stage (in multiple cool venues) a great festival, with plays that are Shakespearean and modern. A recent great one I drove there to see was “Women of the Fur Trade.”
3:55 "Comprises", not "compromises". 4:00 You accidentally gave Ontario the entire population of Canada at 40 million. It has 14 million. Or maybe you mispronounced FOURTEEN as FORTY. 8:04 "In 1967 Canada consisted of only 4 provinces." That was **18**67. 12:42 The CN Tower is not 55.3 m high, but 553 m tall.
This video got me thinking about how big Canada really is. If you drove from the farthest town on the east coast to the farthest west -Yarmouth Nova Scotia to Victoria BC it would take 57 hours. Just to get from one side of Ontario to the other is 24 hours of driving. To put this in perspective for our American friends, google maps tells me it is 40 hours from New York City to San Diego, California. From Niagara Falls to Miami, Florida is 21 hours.

@@patrickcarey393 Yep. If you count the island on one end, you have to count the island on the other. Officially, it takes 11 hrs or something to cross the island of NL, plus a 6.5h ferry.
@@carmenjoydoucette8488 My best time from St Johns to Port-Aux-Basques is just over 12 hours only stopping for gas, food, and clean washrooms. Plus you have to check in for the ferry at least 2 hours before departure or you might miss it. So at least 21 hours to NS and you are still a long way from Yarmouth.
It's hilarious that we often measure distance in hours, not kilometers or miles in Canada. I'm sure some non-Canadians are scratching their heads about this.😅
Canadians also invented basketball, but the Americans say they did. What else is new? We also had the fastest airplane in the world fighter. Jet, I should say the Avril arrow which was well basically destroyed because the u. S didn't like it, so they told the Prime Minister at the time. I believe it was deep in Baker and the project was got it and the airplane was destroyed. Well most of it was destroyed, one got away. They never found it. They're still looking. I hope they find it 1 day and bring it home. And as far as I'm concerned, it still is. The fastest airplane ever made
Canadians say sorry just like Americans and they aren't obsessed with maple 🍁 I'm so tired of hearing that I never heard anyone in a store even ask for maple flavored anything lol
There is some mis information. The 3rd biggest city in Canada is Vancouver (2.7 million), then Calgary (1.6 million), then Edmonton (1.5 million), then 6th is Ottawa (1.4 million). Google ai got it wrong this time.
I came to Canada as an immigrant became Canadian this year. I am just disappointed how little I know or how least naturalization process has immersed me into Canadian culture/history and geographic presence. I still like a foreigner out here.
At 8:06 you made a blunder. In 1967 Canada consisted of ten provinces and two territories. Perhaps you meant 1867? And Metis is pronounced "May-tee." As for Canadian cuisine, my Chinese wife, when she came to Canada, asked for, "Canada food." I had to tell her that the food the average Canadian eats comes from other countries. The only things I could think of (besides food from First Nations people) was poutine and moose in a bottle.

I’m in canada 🇨🇦 also in Canada the 1930’s the kids were sent to residential school where they were not suppose to speak their own language but in the 1990’s the residential schools were closed and in 2007 the president of Canada apologized
There’s a serious historical mistake in this video: Canadians didn’t rise up against colonial rule. (French) Canadians did in part because democracy was being stifled, but ESPECIALLY because of the British regime’s forceful assimilation policies and unequal treatment of (French) Canadians so we wanted autonomy and auto-détermination. The mistake comes from terminology: at the time the word Canadian only refers to those of French descent, while those of English descent were referred to as British. In later historical periods, the term Canadians referred to french AND english descendants, with those of French descent identifying directly as French Canadian. In the mid twentieth century in Québec, French Canadians formed a distinct identity and started referring to themselves as Québécois!
@@markwarden3793 Yes, that was MacKenzie trying to gather troupes together on Navy Island in 1837. My great, great grandfather was part of a company of more than 100 volunteers that, on December 25 left the Burlington area in 12 sleighs heading for Chippewa to stop MacKenzie's rebellion. Well, when they got there they hung around for a few days......nothing happened.....no big rebellion, so they went back home. Reported in the Burlington Gazette, Dec.29, 1937 in their column "100 years ago"
@@CharCanuck14 That's very interesting! I was not aware there was a simultaneous rebellion in Upper Canada. It adds a lot of useful context to Lord Durham's report in which he sought to prevent future rebellion through self government, but recommending the union of both provinces in order to make French Canadians disappear. He said: "They are a people without no culture and no literature. [...] The only power that can be effectual at once [...] in hereafter obliterating the nationality of the French Canadians, is that of a numerical majority of a loyal and English population." The instability of this assimilatory fusion caused the legislative and governmental paralysis that led to confederation as a solution in 1837. Too bad this aspect of it wasn't noted in the video despite its brevity. People like to bash on Québec but there are important reasons behind it all.
WOW you facts are awful!! Great Slave Lake is not an unfortunate name as it has nothing to do with slavery, but is named for the Indigenous tribes the Slavey people part of the Dene tribe. Also Canada’s population became 40 million in July 2023.

Great video but perhaps should have mentioned our diverse wildlife species (except for the beaver) that influenced our fishing, hunting and trapping traditions.
The CN Tower is 553 meters (1,814.3 feet) tall. Upon completion it was the tallest free standing structure in the world. Today it remains the tallest free standing structure in the western hemisphere.
To demonstrate the wow factor regarding the size of Canada, or the lakes for example, it's interesting when vloggers compare with European countries. Like, x number of square kilometres, or 4 Germanys! 😮
Fishing would plat a bigger role if not for European overfishing which banned after international borders were established! Our fisheries are still recovering from the raping of our fish stocks with their super trawlers which were not used here at the time!😢
A few proud Canadian achievements that come to mind 1. Superman was co-created by a Canadian 2. Snowmobiles were invented by a Canadian 3.

Well, technically Vancouver city proper is smaller than Calgary but the Vancouver metro area has a much larger population than Calgary metro (it’s a bit of a political quirk)
@williammacey9502 ok yeah, I was thinking in terms of metro area. What you said makes sense.
came here to say this
The order of the cities has always been fluid. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver have always been the 3 biggest, but their order changes back and forth.
The same thing applies to the next 3 biggest as well. Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg have all fluctuated within the range of #4 to #6. Calgary and Edmonton have outpaced Winnipeg a now, but not by much, and it could still catch back up again, as it was equal to them for many decades. If there is more action at the port in Churchill Manitoba, then Winnipeg will have a big growth spurt too.
Quebec City was in the #7 position for a very long time, but I don't know how it stands now. BC and eastern Canada have a lot of medium sized cities, all under 1 million people. The prairies are a wasteland, in nearly every way, but Regina and Saskatoon both manage to sustain fairly large populations as well.
The world's highest tides are in Nova Scotia, not New Brunswick. Though the Bay of Fundy can be accessed by New Brunswick, it borders Nova Scotia, and the Nova Scotia side has the highest tides in the world.
The tides are still pretty high in New Brunswick, and, with the Hopewell Rocks, tidal bore in the Petitcodiac and the Reversing Falls cataract in Saint John, the phenomenon of the Fundy tides is more accessible and better know on the New Brunswick side of the bay.
@MonctonRad Better known? No. We have tidal bore rafting down the Shubenacadie River, and the tidal bore is much more dramatic , hence why there's a park where tourists can go out and experience it. It's one of the most popular tourist attractions in Nova Scotia. The NB tides don't come close, and neither does their tidal bore.
@@MonctonRadhonestly the entire east coast is amazing, and super cool to visit, bith for the tides and ocean, and for the people. I loved it there so much
The Bay Of Fundy borders on both provinces, and roughly equally on both, unless you want to get super petty about small distances. By far most of the world neither knows nor cares about New Brunswick or Nova Scotia. Your petty local squabble means nothing to anyone else. You should both just be proud and happy that you live in such a spectacularly beautiful place. My trip to the east coast of Canada was a once in a lifetime experience. I never expected that it would be so very beautiful! I loved both of those provinces! My only regret is that we couldn't go to PEI. What an awful shame!
@@cattymajiv It's not about the Bay of Fundy, it's about the world's highest tides which are specifically in Nova Scotia, not New Brunswick. And why they are in Nova Scotia is because the Bay of Funday in Nova Scotia channels water through to the Minas Basin inflating the tides even more than the Bay of Fundy. It's on this southern coast of the Minas Basin in Nova Scotia where the tides are the highest in the world. It's called Burntcoat Head.
We invented insulin, the zipper, the wonder bra, Robertson screwdriver, and many, many more! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

Canada, the second-largest country in the world by land area, is known for its vast and diverse geography. From the Rocky Mountains to the vast tundra of the North, its landscape is rich in natural beauty. A **Geography map** of Canada reveals its extensive coastline, numerous lakes, and national parks, making it a land of both exploration and preservation. With its 10 provinces and 3 territories, Canada is a prime example of how geography influences culture, climate, and biodiversity.
By net area, not total land area. Total land area is 9.093.507 km^2. US net land area is 9.363.498 km^2. But, yes, Canada is larger than the lower 48 .
In the city profiles, they missed Vancouver. 4:52

5:33 here in Quebec we call it "une piastre" cause we talk French
The reason is we were using spanish money (call piastra) in the colonial era.
In Quebec you speak a creole, in New Brunswick, they speak french.
@@albertlorenzen3048 You know, as a French Canadian and a retired French teacher living in Quebec, I was briefly insulted by the fact that you called my language a creole. They have been trying to teach francophones how to speak a more proper French here, but since even our newscasters and teachers don't speak the language properly, we are giving up on it. But by definition, you're right, our French is a creole. So many English words have seeped through over the years and pronunciations having been mixed in that it has become a creole.🙂
@@TheHeat55 Perhaps "traditional" might be an alternative term? As a language expert you are undoubtedly aware that the Canadian version is not that of France.
Really fun video. Keep it up 🫡
Thanks a lot! 👌😊
75% of Canadians live south of 49 degrees N. latitude.
One other thing... Canada is not a de-jure country, it is a defacto country. Former Prime Minister Harper is on the record saying that Canada is a defacto country. In simple terms, there are no signed confederation papers to prove that Canada is a lawful de-jure country according to the standards of the Law of Nations. What we do know is that there is a Corporation called Canada registered at 501 Pennsylvania Ave in Washington, DC. It can be found by doing a search by using the EDGAR system on the SEC website. The more we look into things by doing independent research, the more we find that things are not as they seem.
Amazing video! The only thing I would say you missed was the rich history of wrestling in Canada, and the Hart family (Stu, Brett and Owen Hart).
Hi Countries Explained. Please make videos about Norway and other Nordic countries. I like your Denmark video!

Canada would be a great 51st state for the USA, though I favor each province to be an individual state. What is that, eight new states for the USA. Imagine how crazy that would be! All kidding aside, Canada is a great country and I pray that Canada’s future will be prosperous! The USA should do everything in its power to ensure Canada is very strong! It is vitally important that that relationship is solid, strong and unbreakable!

This video got me thinking about how big Canada really is. If you drove from the farthest town on the east coast to the farthest west -Yarmouth Nova Scotia to Victoria BC it would take 57 hours.
Just to get from one side of Ontario to the other is 24 hours of driving.
To put this in perspective for our American friends, google maps tells me it is 40 hours from New York City to San Diego, California.
From Niagara Falls to Miami, Florida is 21 hours.
Once I met a french guy at University who planned going from Montréal to Banff by car during spring break

The farthest town on the east coast is St. Johns Newfoundland, about a 3 day trip east of Yarmouth.
@@patrickcarey393 Yep. If you count the island on one end, you have to count the island on the other. Officially, it takes 11 hrs or something to cross the island of NL, plus a 6.5h ferry.
@@carmenjoydoucette8488 My best time from St Johns to Port-Aux-Basques is just over 12 hours only stopping for gas, food, and clean washrooms. Plus you have to check in for the ferry at least 2 hours before departure or you might miss it. So at least 21 hours to NS and you are still a long way from Yarmouth.
It's hilarious that we often measure distance in hours, not kilometers or miles in Canada. I'm sure some non-Canadians are scratching their heads about this.😅

I believe it was deep in Baker and the project was got it and the airplane was destroyed. Well most of it was destroyed, one got away. They never found it. They're still looking. I hope they find it 1 day and bring it home. And as far as I'm concerned, it still is. The fastest airplane ever made

At 8:06 you made a blunder. In 1967 Canada consisted of ten provinces and two territories. Perhaps you meant 1867? And Metis is pronounced "May-tee." As for Canadian cuisine, my Chinese wife, when she came to Canada, asked for, "Canada food." I had to tell her that the food the average Canadian eats comes from other countries. The only things I could think of (besides food from First Nations people) was poutine and moose in a bottle.

There’s a serious historical mistake in this video: Canadians didn’t rise up against colonial rule. (French) Canadians did in part because democracy was being stifled, but ESPECIALLY because of the British regime’s forceful assimilation policies and unequal treatment of (French) Canadians so we wanted autonomy and auto-détermination.
The mistake comes from terminology: at the time the word Canadian only refers to those of French descent, while those of English descent were referred to as British. In later historical periods, the term Canadians referred to french AND english descendants, with those of French descent identifying directly as French Canadian. In the mid twentieth century in Québec, French Canadians formed a distinct identity and started referring to themselves as Québécois!
No I think they were referring to the short lived rebellion around Niagara Falls in the 1830’s I think. Led by a McKenzie.
@@markwarden3793 Yes, that was MacKenzie trying to gather troupes together on Navy Island in 1837. My great, great grandfather was part of a company of more than 100 volunteers that, on December 25 left the Burlington area in 12 sleighs heading for Chippewa to stop MacKenzie's rebellion.
Well, when they got there they hung around for a few days......nothing happened.....no big rebellion, so they went back home.
Reported in the Burlington Gazette, Dec.29, 1937 in their column "100 years ago"
@@CharCanuck14 That's very interesting! I was not aware there was a simultaneous rebellion in Upper Canada. It adds a lot of useful context to Lord Durham's report in which he sought to prevent future rebellion through self government, but recommending the union of both provinces in order to make French Canadians disappear. He said: "They are a people without no culture and no literature. [...] The only power that can be effectual at once [...] in hereafter obliterating the nationality of the French Canadians, is that of a numerical majority of a loyal and English population." The instability of this assimilatory fusion caused the legislative and governmental paralysis that led to confederation as a solution in 1837. Too bad this aspect of it wasn't noted in the video despite its brevity. People like to bash on Québec but there are important reasons behind it all.
@@ecogeilsnw Thanks for your interesting & informative comment eco. 👍

To demonstrate the wow factor regarding the size of Canada, or the lakes for example, it's interesting when vloggers compare with European countries. Like, x number of square kilometres, or 4 Germanys! 😮
Fishing would plat a bigger role if not for European overfishing which banned after international borders were established! Our fisheries are still recovering from the raping of our fish stocks with their super trawlers which were not used here at the time!😢
