The problem with Moose is that they DON'T flip over your car. They're so tall that you'll knock their knees out with the hood of your car which sends their 1000lb bodies through your windshield.
Drove by an accident that had happened a couple minutes earlier at latest, the night before last about 3 minutes from my house on the highway. Car was messed up bad, was up on the steep downslope on other side of outside ditch. Car was flattened but hadn't rolled, moose was sadly still alive on the side of road, Damn thing was huge. I don't think everyone in the car made it. Moose accidents are petrifying.
Canadians adapt readily to the temperature changes, as temperature is all relative. It is funny to see that in autumn when it goes from 25c down to 10c many Canadians will start dressing warmer, but in spring when it goes from -20 to 10c they will start wearing shorts and head back to the beaches. It is the same 10c temperature, but it is relative, compared to the temperature from the week before.
This is actually a scientific fact, studies have shown that our bodies adapt to the temperature where we are living over the course of months and years, and takes time to change back. That's why people from the desert can survive temperatures that would kill a Canadian. And visa versa...
Fun Fact : the Cajuns in Louisiana are actually displaced French-Canadians and Acadians (from the Maritimes) who were deported in 1755 as the British were trying to assimilate the French ... another interesting piece of history. I bet a ton of Americans don't know Louisiana was named after King Louis of France and used to be a French colony
From Ontario Canada here..When my kids and I went to Disney in Florida, the young lady that was working the little food cart was so impressed with my children and their manners (they were 10 and 7), that she proceeded to give us our items at no cost. She said we were the most polite family/children she had ever served and that deserved to be rewarded. I couldn’t get over it and thanked her even more! It’s definitely a Canadian thing to be so polite and appreciative of little things.
Damn that's great, i never got outside of my province (no money for that now). One day i hope that i will be able to travel and go outside of Canada for vacation. I'm from Quebec and where i live, no one know how to speak english even if they learn it at school. They have some like me that speaking english very well, but most of my community dont speaking it cuz they dont understand it and they dont wanna learn it. But yeah one day for sure i will go outside of Canada, i want to visit Japan. ^^
Vancouver Island here. When we went up island when our girls were 2 and 6, the server gave them ice cream after the meal as he was so shocked that our girls were so well behaved. He was dreading our table but was impressed after the fact
@@GHOSTERING I'm the same. I live in BC, and spent my whole life here. I've visited most of it, but have only left it once to visit my sister when she lived in nova Scotia. My other sister is pretty much forcing me to go to Japan in a few years (somewhere I always wanted to go but always put off due to cost). She actually went to Japan this year herself and purposely avoided places I'd like to go just so we could go together, so I really can't say no anymore.
@@phantomstarlight1366That is incredibly sweet. I hope you and your sister were/are able to go/go back. I don't have that kind of relationship with any of my siblings, but it is incredibly heartwarming to hear of others who have that. When you go to Japan just don't forget to learn how to say sorry, I don't speak Japanese, and how to ask where the bathroom is. Those are the first three things you should learn in any language 😄
Fun fact, on Vancouver island (BC) deer waiting at cross walks is a common occurrence. They're almost domesticated here. On the East Coast, not a chance lol
They are that domesticated in parts of the east coast as well. Saint Andrews NB deer could care less about humans and just growl at you if you walk by.
Maple water (if you get real one) is just the sap of the Sugar Maple tree. That same water is what is boiled to concentrate the flavour and sugar into the syrup. So no it's really not weird, and it's pretty darn good
Maple water is still pretty niche and I have only seen it in "fancy" grocery stores. I am not sure it if is un boiled sap, I was led to believe it is the collected water from the steam derived from boiling of of sap to make syrup. The taste is really light and not that sweet.
I once met a lady from Texas when I was traveling in Lebanon, she was so pleased to have a conversation with an English speaking person. She had asked where I was from, told her I'm from Canada, she then asked if it was true we lived in igloos 😂
I met a guy from San Francisco years ago who asked if it's true that it always snows here. I told him yes, but it pisses everyone off when the sun shines and all the igloos start to melt.
I got asked that when I was 16 visiting New York. Then they asked How did I know what to wear here. I replied ' When we park our dogsled at the border (to change to a car) there are travel agents that advise us what we need to know about about each state.' ✌️🤣🙏
Tyler get a P.O. box and we Canadians can send you Canadian snacks. It also lends to more content 😄Tyler actually TRIES Canadian snacks like Ketchup chips, Coffee Crisp, Smarties and the like.
I so agree it’s entertaining because the big Question is “ Why is he doing these Posts? “ Perhaps he needs to visit all ten Provinces and at least 1 f the 3 territories!
If every country act Canada, that would be Hell. I don't like nice people, especially pretentious nice people. they are not nice they want something from you. I like reasonable people.
Her pronunciation of Dino is definitely just her, I am Canadian and I have never heard anyone pronounce it like that! I was equally as distracted as you when she said it. lol 😂Also, Moose without antlers are female. Only the male Moose have antlers.
Some people whom has been with french canadians sometime pick this french way of saying dinosaur. You never heard this because your so dispecable that no french canadian would be friend with you
Bagged milk is only sold in Ontario, Quebec, and possibly the Maritimes (pretty sure not at all in Newfoundland and Labrador & anywhere west of Ontario). In the 70s, Canada converted to the metric system. This meant that the dairy producers had to replace and resize all of their existing milk containers (they were all measured in quarts before). That's when they started using milk bags since they were easier and cheaper to adjust. In many parts of Canada, the bags became less popular and the jugs were cheaper to buy, so in western Canada, there are no more milk bags, they just use jugs, bottles, or cartons. In Ontario, jugs had a lot more restrictions than bags, so stores and producers mostly stuck to using bags. I live in Toronto, so I buy bagged milk which comes in 3 bags of around 1.33 litres all in a big pack, so you get 4 litres in total. These bags are also more environmentally efficient, as the plastic is thinner and uses up to 75% less plastic than a normal milk jug, and are lighter which means less energy is needed to ship them. By having three separate bags of milk when you buy it, you put one bag in a pitcher and cut the corner, and the other two are put in the fridge and stay fresh, as opposed to having all that milk in one big jug where it's all exposed to air and opened all at once.
I love having milk in bags. Like you said, instead of having it all open at once, you’re only opening a portion, so it stays fresh longer. And if someone accidentally drops the container, you have a lot less to clean up! Plus, it’s not so heavy and easier to control the pouring of it. I also find it’s easier to store in the fridge, instead of a giant container, full height, in a single spot, you have a smaller ones that can be shifted around onto short shelves or small spaces.
We didn’t switch to cartons until late 80s. Mind you we had our own Jersey for a decade but before that it was always bagged and cartons felt so modern. Lol But people would be adamant one tasted better than the others depending which they liked, bagged or carton.
I think the last time I can recall bagged milk in Saskatchewan is the early 90s. Oddly enough, they *do* have bagged milk in the US. Wisconsin based (locations in Eastern Minnesota and Iowa too) Kwik Trip carries milk in bags and have as long as I can remember.
Milk in bags where there before the conversion to metric, it replaced the old glass bottles that the milkman left at your front door in the morning (yes, I'm old). I remember when it was 3 one quart bags, but it's true that it was easier to adjust to metric.
1. I am Canadian and have never even heard of maple water until now. 2. The moose are a road hazard. Drivers run into them in NL on highways, especially at dusk when moose are on the move and will unexpectedly run in front of cars on the road. The moose usually dies in the collision and the car is wrecked. Often the people inside are injured or killed as well. The sign is probably a road sign warning motorists to be vigilant and watch for moose. 3. Bull moose have antlers. Females (cows) do not. 4. Tim Horton's is basically a donut/coffee shop and is ubiquitous in Canada. 5. The use of "eh" in Canadian language is area specific - it's not commonly used in some provinces. 6. Newfoundland is Canadian, but very different from the rest of Canada. Check out Newfoundland music by Great Big Sea or more classics by Dick Nolan. Listen to "We'll Rant and We'll Roar" or to "I'se the B'y" for traditional music. "Saltwater Joys" is a beautiful song by Buddy Wassisname and the Other Fellas. We also have unique dialects and a fair sense of humour in Newfoundland. There is a dictionary of Newfoundland English. Try listening to some of Rick Mercer, for a sample of fairly modern Newfoundland humour. Also, 'Tales from Pigeon Inlet' by Ted Russell is a sample of Newfoundland stories that are worth a listen. These things are first Newfoundland, but also Canadian. Like the USA, Canada is diverse and, like Alaska is different from the other states, so Newfoundland is different from other provinces in Canada. SO........ Most of these "Canadian stereotypes" do not apply to Newfies at all. But, the point is that the cultural uniqueness and diversity in Canada is vast, so stereotyping Canadians simply cannot be accomplished. Usually, those who attempt to do so are stereotyping Ontarians or Quebecers and extending that stereotype as if it applies to the rest of this country.
i love that this random American guy is so interested about learning about Canada. as someone living in ottawa, your ottawa video was my favourite! bonne journée!
Tyler, I do wonder what you would make of the house hippo. Also, the Canada-Russia hockey series of 1972 pretty much shut down the country during each game. My university ran the feed through all the auditoriums and hallway tvs as that was all anyone could concentrate on. The moose danger is real. A very Canadian expression when talking about the cold,or occasionally heat, is to say "but it is a dry cold(heat)" as the Temps are more comfortable without the humidity. This girl is having fun, she sounds more American as she is from Alberta. Snow varies a lot depending on where you live; in Vancouver it tends to be heavy and wet, plus it is very hilly, and drivers forget how to drive in the stuff until after a snowfall or two. Unless it has changed very recently, it is illegal to take a Kinder into the US. Fine used to be $500 as they are considered adulterated and a hazard. My favourite traffic caution sign is of a giant mosquito. The warning is valid.
here on the pacific coast of BC we often refer to the cold being a damp or wet cold! and Yes without a waterproof outer layer it can be nasty especially if its a rain snow mix hypothermia can be a real risk if exposed for too long
As children travelling the states in summer, we would get asked if it was cold in Canada. We would laugh and tell them that we have central heating in our igloos.
Moose are the wild animal that kill the most number of people in Canada. You should do a reaction to how big and dangerous moose are, I'm pretty sure there are some videos out there.
2 роки тому+12
They don't kill on purpose though.. It's in the dangers of driving
And they are not invincible. Yes, most mooses will be able to walk away after a crash but you have to call the authorities so that they can find the animal and make sure it's fine.
@@Redjs90 Actually most of the time the authorities will look for it to hunt it down and put it to sleep. Most mooses die after those crashes but they just have the strength to run away after the hit.
Coffee Crisp chocolate bars and ketchup chips are indeed delicious. And if you've never had maple cookies, you should really try them! It's really not weird to have maple-flavored things. It's not like ranch. Maple is a type of sugar substitute after all, so it's no different from having brown sugar cookies or molasses cookies.
exactly, I was really confused that he though it was weird. You just gotta imagine it in the same realm as chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and like you said, molasse. All sweet things/flavors
I have watched too many videoes on UA-cam and I instantly understood that she was Canadian. She seems less stressed, dont have a fake smile and dont seem indoctrinated. Kinda more free like there is not a heavy burden on her shoulders. Most funny and relaxed woman I have seen in a while. So many Americans feel fake Edit: From Norway btw
Please cover a video on Newfoundland! It has the most diversity of the English language in regional dialects in North America! It’s not where I live but it’s my favourite province. Seriously, it would be both a hoot and enlightening!
It all starts as teens. We try to be cool by not bulking up with winter gear. Keep it simple with a sweater. But then we transition to adults and we realize how stupid we were as kids. It's pretty rare to see someone wear shorts in the winter. However, in the spring when snow is still on the ground Canadians aren't afraid to whip out the shorts.
I have discovered as i've gotten older that kids just don't feel the cold as much. When I was a preteen I sometimes would go roll down a snowbank in a tank top, it wasn't to look cool or anything either we lived in the country there was no one around. I was just too dang warm cause we had a wood stove. Now that i'm older doing that sounds like the most horrible thing ever. But I don't regret not putting the coat on my mother told me to at that age, b/c at that time I just did not feel it the same way I do now.
I think sometimes its more to do with not wanting to always take the time to "bulk up" in winter, sometimes just zipping out the door without the hat, the scarf, the gloves, the big coat, the boots is the goal if just running somewhere.
My father got offered a job in the police because he was a great hockey player. He was given a uniform and a gun, and the accompanying salary, but didn't have to perform any police duties. All he had to do was play hockey and win games. That was in the 1950s, but it goes to show how important it is here.
I’m Canadian, and did the exact same thing with wearing not enough clothes in very cold weather. Don’t get me wrong, you’re still cold as F. We don’t have some special internal insulation that makes us not feel it, but for some reason as a teenager it was not “cool“ to wear a full parka, mukluks, and a touque
@@BylethMain LOL I read mukluks and thought I was so proud when I bought myself a pair of mukluks. It WAS fashionable at the time. But then so were fur coats etc.
I don’t give a hoot in hell whether you could be my grandson or not but yours is definitely one of the most informative and entertaining channels I’ve ever come across on UA-cam. Just keep on rockin’!
I'm born and bred Canadian and I've never heard of maple water. Years ago a co-worker hit a moose while driving his motorcycle - he spent months recovering but he was lucky to have survived. I'm sure that's not just a Canadian issue - it must also happen in Maine, Vermont and any other state that has a moose population.
Maple water is the raw material for or precursor of, maple syrup, you need hundreds of litres of maple water boiled for hours, until it condenses into maple syrup…learn the basics yo! 🍁🇨🇦
Moose are not everywhere in Canada, but very common to find them standing in the middle of the roads where I live. I came over a hill to greet a giant momma and the CUTEST calf this summer!!! It was only 2-3 months old and eye level with the hood of my truck!! They will literally just stand there and stare at you with a look of disgust on their face 🤣 *edit: bears are also so common here that they put up signs for tourists and newcomers that say: "please don't feed the bears" I can't believe people need to be told that!! I also saw a juvenile male bald eagle up close at the dump yesterday, he was gorgeous! I love it here 💖🇨🇦
Similar in the NWT with the bison. Those f*ckers will mess up a semi, and most likely get up and walk away (mostly a joke). And yet, their babies are super cute and tourists (what we call ‘Southerners’) will want to get out of their cars to pet/get pictures with/of them. 🤦🏼♀️ Just, no.
Lol moose are definitely from where I grew up and they are CRAZY.. They will chase every vehicle they see, won't even be on the road either, they run out of the woods to chase them.. Those beasts are invincible for sure, they will get hit by and wreck a semi and walk away fine
As a Canadian I can say that yes many Canadians can handle the cold weather, I can go out in shorts and a tshirt in -20C weather easily. That being said when I go to the south (ie Texas, AZ) I can NOT handle the heat at all. I've been told the cold weather makes your blood thicker and that's the reason, not sure if that's true
it is and it isn't, when a human is raised in a cold climate we instinctively develop a ability to regulate the blood vessel in our extremities where it will slow blood flow just enough to keep hands and feet above freezing by turning on blood flow briefly.
Growing up in New Brunswick, the moose alerts were a real thing. There are lots of secondary roads through the woods, and hitting a moose was relatively common. Your car could be a write-off. And you had the potential to be really hurt. They're huge!
Hey like your episodes I find them funny as a Canadian, and the bagged milk reactions are hilarious! it was actually developed to save on shipping costs as opposed to fitting 4 jugs in a milk crate the company can now fit 5 bags in a crate each bag holds 3 smaller bags in it that you put into a holder to pour, the bag and jug both hold the same amount of milk.
I think the Canadian cold resistance is a developed thing. I moved to Canada when I was 10 from the UK and could not stand the cold. Now I go out in negative weather and am like "Meh don't really need a coat today"
I'm québecois and I truly hope my observation about winter attire won't offend any of my Canadian brethren. Never in my life have I gone out in winter not properly dressed for the season, at least not intentionally or while sober. But going out in the freezing cold underdressed truly is a stereotype québecois have toward Anglophones, especially college/university students. I lived a couple years in Kingston, ON, and saw this regularly from Queen's University students. I've been living in the Eastern Townships in Québec for the last 25 years, where there are many Anglo towns and where Bishop's University is, and there's a genuine stereotype about students walking around in the dead cold of winter in shorts and Birkenstocks. I've seen this both here and while I was living in Ontario. Obviously, this does not necessarily make it true for all English Canadians but around here, it's enough to fuel stereotypes it seems. But in all fairness, this phenomenon seems to be spreading to the French Canadian youth as well, given that socks and not rolled up pants aren't cool. God, writing this post makes me feel old lol
I’ve never subscribed to a channel faster than I did after watching 2 of your videos, it’s so nice to see an American who actually knows, and listens about Canadian things
I think it’s lovely that you want to learn about Canada and other countries. Shows an open mind, willing to learn and I really hope that you have an opportunity to visit all the countries you are learning about
A true story about polite deer. I once lived in a busy area right across from the hospital. Where I live there are a lot of deer and rabbits everywhere. I had a ground floor suite and as I was having breakfast and deer walked by my window. That was odd even here because there were no Woods nearby. I went out my balcony and saw the deer had two fawna. Mama dear let her babies down the sidewalk, they stood at the intersection to cross the street to the hospital. They waited for the light to change and when the walk man sign came on the mom led the deer cross LOL.
During hunting season, in Truro, Nova Scotia, the deer come out of the woods and take over the town. It would be extremely common to see them strolling down the sidewalks and using the crosswalks at appropriate times! Sorry, Not a Meme! 😜 Always enjoy your videos Tyler!
a herd of deer were crossing the road in the middle of nowhere in complete darkness, and there was a truck pulled over on the opposite lane facing towards me with blazing lights, and I was blinded so I slowed down and all of a sudden drove between two massive deer crossing the road, i was SO relieved I didnt put a deer through my grille in the Rocky's.
Canadian here, just found your channel. I say sorry to inanimate objects. Many of us do. It's so prevalent that a law was put in to prevent people who say sorry when they get into a car accident from being considered as having admitted they were at fault.
For the milk you can buy a pack that has 2 or 3 bags of milk so it takes up less space in the fridge and yes it's easier to recycle. Also when you get milk delivered it makes it easier with bags. For the maple water, it's not maple-flavored, it's actually maple sap boiled down and mixed in :)
Also, 4L (about a gallon, for the Americans) of milk comes in 3 sealed bags, rather than 1 big jug - so the unopened bags don't spoil as fast. Plus you can get a pitcher with a cute cow on it to put it in. :)
Ieeew micro-plastic (bags) in the milk. It's much easier to puncture too, than cartons esp if you drop it/them.😢 I don't drink it anymore.... But even so. Cartons are much better!😊
Milk in plastic bags were introduced because of the metric system. For the maple water, it is the water that comes directly out of the tree (tree sap, which has a unique taste and is really good) then it is boiled to become a syrup
How do you like your coffee? Crisp! That was the inaugural ad campaign for the bar when I was a kid … and I’m no kid now! And the bar kinda-sorta tastes like sweet, creamy coffee. And chocolate!
It was not the inaugural ad campaign. It is simply the first one you remember. You have taken the word 'inaugural', which was referencing the candy bars ad campaign history, and applied the word incorrectly to yourself. 👍
@@elizabethsullivan7176 I was born in 1953. I remember when the bar was first introduced, in black and white, on TV. It became my father’s favourite treat. I won’t turn down a Coffee Crisp ever!!
Beaver tails are amazing and you can essentially have them however you want. The picture just shows some ways you can eat them. If I'm not mistaken, the OG beaver tail is literally just the dough with cinnamon sugar. I could be wrong and that may just be the first one that I had. But yeah, top the dough with anything you want. Whatever floats your boat.
Hey Tyler, a suggestion for a video to watch, "Tom Brokaw explains Canada". It is from the Winter Olympics held in Vancouver a few years back, it has some good info you will like, and it is only about 7 minutes
You should do a reaction video to the arrogant worms. A Canadian comedy musical troupe. They're hilarious and every Canadian knows at least one of their songs by heart
I used to harvest maple water for a sugar shack which was owned by a family member (QC) when I was a kid. We would put maple water into a large reservoir on a sleigh pulled by a few horses. It was a lot of work, but unlike for other physical work, we didn't bring our own water since we could just drink maple water directly! XD pretty sure not many people had this experience.
As I remember ketchup chips (haven't had them in ages), they taste like salt and vinegar chips with a bit less bite and a hint of tomato. I loved them as a kid but not as much as I got older. Dill Pickle chips, now, are a Canadian flavour that's really good. I miss those. Salt, vinegar and a considerable amount of dill flavouring. If you enjoy pickles you'd probably enjoy the chips.
I disagree on your description of dill pickle chips, it's much less tangy than the salt and vinegar ones (I literally never could eat the salt and vinegar chips as my tongue would hurt too much). I still love ketchup chips and dill pickle are a close second
Have you seen to opening ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics? It was a parade of (fun) Canadian stereotypes, we are very fortunate to have good ones (mostly)
As others have commented Maple water is the tree sap that runs in the spring. You can boil that down to make maple syrup (you'll need 40 litres to make 1 litre of syrup). We would normally use maple water in cocktails, or in baked beans where you boil the beans in the maple water and it imparts a maple flavour to the beans. Add some salt to maple water and inject it into a roast to make a delicious pot roast with maple flavoured meat. The extensions for maple products are endless. BTW maple sap changes flavour as it progresses through the season. Early in the run the flavour is very light and sweet. As the tree wakes up the sap becomes grainy with more complex "plant flavours" until it becomes sour with plant taste which is not good for syrup. The late season syrup is called "Sirop poteau" or telephopne pole syrup as it is more vegetable than sweet. This type of syrup is perfect for flavouring meat or sauces that goes with a savoury rather than a topping for pancakes.
To me (french canadian) sirop de poteau means fake syrup, like aunt jemima stuff made with corn syrup. So the stuff any normal canadian would NEVER buy lol
I am Canadian, and that was a fun video! Love your personality! You definitely would fit right in here in canada! This video narrator is hilarious! Thank-you for great work! Cheers 😊
Until the last couple years where I've lost my cold tolerance due to medical reasons, I used to wear tshirt, jeans, and sandals until -20C, even if there was a foot of snow. Now I'm stuck wearing "proper" clothes even when its like 10C. Drives me crazy actually.
Omg! I'm dying to correct/add to some of what she said but did you know there are character limits to comments? Lol my biggest issue was when she called Canada a cultural "melting pot". We're actually more of a cultural "mosaic" because we accept different cultures whole cloth and add their individualism to our own. Like a mosaic that takes many lovely pieces and brings them all together to make an overall beautiful image. I think a "melting pot" would be more akin to Americans in that they mix other cultures into their own by breaking down what makes them unique and turns them into the "beige" homogeneous culture of America. I think both are great systems and suit both our countries nicely. Oh and p.s. Canada is the second largest country by landmass in the world. You could put 14 Frances in this land of ours! (Not that anyone measures that way lol) AND we have a tenth of the population of the USA. So, yeah, Canada's really big. 🤔
Some provinces have no identity ... mostly Asians ... we have a culture and history but immigrants do not care . Toronto does not define the identity of Canada ... I think Canadians should respect their heritage first and understand our history ... unfortunately Canada is like USA people are watching violent, dram , racist movies from USA , watch the same TV shows and they think they are polite but they are not .. they are just talking behind your back and sorry does not mean anything ... it is like an habit ...
The people who started Beaver Tails used to live across the street from me. It was just a small operation then, one store and running the canal snack kiosks in winter. I am so amazed to see it as such a big thing now.
Born in Toronto 82 years ago. Moved to San Francisco with nursing at 21 and met and married an AMERICAN(57 years and never went back except to visit. My sister still says”eh”,I believe Tim Horton was a hockey player,Canadians really are,for the most part,courteous and I have always hated camping and cold weather! Thank you so much for doing this series! Reminds me what I miss about Canada!
🇨🇦love that you are doing this! Thank you for taking the time to explore Canada. Keep up the good work!!! Watching from BC’s capital, Victoria, on Vancouver Island. ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks for doing these videos. It's nice to see such a thoughtful reaction. :) About the moose without the antlers, that one was a female. Only the males have antlers. Hail denting your car is absolutely a thing. I was on a trip with my mom and sisters, and this happened to us. A lot of people just drove under various overpasses to wait the storm out. Seeing the deer crossing at the crosswalk is a bit funny, because where I grew up, they are everywhere. There's a line of cedar trees near the house where I grew up that look like something out of Dr. Seuss because the deer have eaten everything within reach so you've got a perfectly shaped tree with a really long trunk. This is in the middle of town.
From grade 8 to grade 11 I went through the no jacket phase. It didn’t matter what the situation was, a hoodie was always the appropriate answer. I can’t even tell you what it was, if I was too hot or just angsty. I vividly remember walking to Swiss (s/o yeg gang) for a poutine and donair during lunch in Jr. High through a snow storm. We all just wore hoodies and jeans 😂
When I first arrived in Canada (from a tropical country), I was super bundled up. When I had been here for a few years, skirts and tights in negative weather…because fashion. Lol.
Yes, I have Jamaican friends that immigrated to Canada knowing that it would be a colder climate, but could never have imagined how cold. You need to dress for the cold in early winter and late winter when the temperatures may be minus 5 to -10 degrees Celcius. When mid winter temperatures sink to minus 30 to 35, or minus 40 with wind chill factor, the cold is painful as it bites you in the ass when you go out of the door and skin can freeze in 15 seconds.
As a French speaking Canadian, you would be surprised how many persons don’t know we exist. When I’m traveling, people always asks where everyone are from. I have a slight accent when I speak in English and I like to play the “guess where I’m from” game. They usually have to go through many guesses and hints (sometimes very obvious) before guessing I’m from Canada.
Indeed. I've lived in the Netherlands for a few years, and they all find my English strange but never assume it's from the French-speaking part of Canada. It boggles their mind that we live in French in Canada...
@@yourbudspud9366 Lol, what are you talking about? That's not remotely close to what I was saying...and not even true. My English accent is quite different to the English of people from France.
As others have pointed out, maple sap is boiled into syrup, which may be further boiled to obtain a very thick syrup drizzled upon snow called taffy, and this can be further boiled to obtain maple sugar which, once cooled, is hard enough to kill a man with (same as unrefined sugar, actually). Note that maple water is known to be VERY laxative, but not other maple products.
Beaver tails can have various toppings. Traditional is cinnamon sugar. They’re also called elephant ears. It’s like those hot mini cinnamon sugar donuts flattened and x 18 smushed together.
I am Canadian and have never said “eh”. It’s mostly spoken in western Canada vs the east. I speak French but my husband can’t speak a word. Maple water, is just the sap that hasn’t been reduced into syrup. It’s not maple syrup added to water. A coffee crisp is delicious. Love watching your reactions.
Right I never heard "eh" in Quebec until I made friends with a guy from... Manitoba? Somewhere in the prairies haha. I never knew it was a real thing until then :P
huge here in the prairies. we're also heavily native populated so that could be why, the stereotypical canadian accent sounds similar to an indigenous accent. we natives say "eh" a lot lol
I used to say "eh" a LOT until I started using the internet. When it was pointed out to me online that I said it, I ended up avoiding saying it. I still do sometimes, but its not that often anymore.
As a Canadian who has always lived in Ontario (Toronto, Windsor and now Cambridge), I have never heard about maple syrup water. Then again, I have never looked for it either. Beware of moose and deer signs are used in areas where they populate. The word "about", I would think would be said by Newfoundlanders. Sometimes even Canadians have a hard time understanding what they are saying. I have always thought accents from different US states are cool. Have always thought Canadians, in Ontario at least, have no accent. By the way Tyler, I think you would fit right in in Canada.
I can think of 4 different accents just in Ontario: the franco-ontarian accent typical of northeastern Ontario, the Irish sounding accent of the Ottawa Valley, the southern Ontario accent typical of the Golden Horseshoe area that is most prevalent and the US mid-western sounding accent typical of southwestern Ontario.
@@nickgooderham2389 Wow good to know. Sounds like you have been in more places in Ontario than me and have had the opportunity to meet a lot more people than I. Am just your average Canadian now living in a small city. With all the other nationalities here, I don't notice any other accents. You must have an exciting life.
@@tomcatmeow69 Wow never met someone who was Portuguese living in Newfoundland. Suppose there are those of different nationalities living there too. Can't imagine the different accents.
The moose sign is so normal north of Edmonton due to so many people dying by crashing into them, so that night time speed limits are reduced. In the late 1980s in Alberta we had both milk in cartons and bags, but bags went away since people hated them, have not seen milk in bags in any western Canada since.
The moose sign is definitely a thing. The problem is (beyond hitting the poor moose), that moose are MASSIVE and very top-heavy, and they're so tall that if you hit it with your car, you hit the legs, and the entire massively heavy body slams into the part where you're sitting. A friend of mine hit one once, and it completely totaled her car.
I've seen a lot of the moose and deer crossing signs too. Tho the closest I came to hitting wildlife with my car was a huge eagle that swooped in front of me. 😮 In Ecuador we have llama signs
In Saskatchewan, Canada, July is the only month that hasn't had a recorded snow fall. We have had snow fall in the first week in June, and in the last week of August. Not in the same year, and not all the time, nor does the snow last very long. But it has happened, and is generally a surprise when it does.
I used to live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and there are a lot of deer that come into the residential areas at the edge of the city. I have personally seen a group of deer wait at the corner until the walk light came on and they walked through the crosswalk to go to the park on the other side of the road. Blew my mind.
Several Deer sleep in my yard and prune my Shrubs here in Winnipeg, the city looks like a low flat elm forest with tall buildings occasionally poking up, I have had to supervise indoor recess because a rutting moose had taken over the playground. I have stayed in hotels with “please consider our room cleaning staff- no deer butchering in the bathtub- please ask at the front desk for access to the slaughter shed.” For hunters. Her accent is albertamerican. It’s October 4th and snow started today in a town north of here. University students west little canvas shoes at 40C below waiting for the bus. Death by fashion. At a hotel in North Carolina a police officer asked us to head inside, so we did, thanked her and she asked if we were Canadian. No idea how she figured it out, or why she wanted us inside. I found folks in the states very polite and exuberant.
@@keithlightminder3005 I've always loved the urban forest aspect of Winnipeg. I used to work security (specifically parking patrol) at the HSC so I'd end up on the top level of the parking garages multiple times a day. Third or fourth level up is perfect to show off the urban forest
I live along the lake and one of the biggest grumbling from drivers is having to constantly stop for the Canadian Geese crossing the road. Depending on the number of geese crossing, it sometimes does cause a traffic jam with dozens of cars waiting for them to complete their slow walk across the road. On occasion some drivers will blow their horns which is hysterical because it doesn’t faze the geese. LOL
In the 70s had a friend who driving a big old Cadillac up north in Canada, a large moose cross the road as he hit the Cadillac he totaled the Cadillac, got up and kept on going. The Cadillac was totaled and they were big cars in those days
I've never heard of Dunkaroos, and I'm Canadian. Also, yeah, the moose danger sign is very real, in pretty much every province and territory except maybe PEI. Also "dee-no" is a Flintstones character. We say "die-no-saur"
The thing about the cold is: You get acclimatized to it, just like everywhere else. I would feel just as uncomfortable where you live during the summer as you would coming here in the winter. The first winter in the prairies will be your worst, but after that, it will only be the extremes that will be as uncomfortable. We also quickly learn to dress for the weather. And the trick there is, layers. "You can always take a jacket/sweater off if you are too hot, but you can't magically make a sweater appear if you are too cold." Personally, anything between -25C and 25C (-13F to 77F) is fine, but anything outside of that gets uncomfortable.
@@frogsmoker714 central saskatchewan, but you were close enough. Lol. As I once said to some online gaming friends from Texas: " When it is -40, I can always light a fire to get warm. When it is 105 in the shade, here is a glass of water ... go ahead and make an ice cube. "
I grew up in Montreal, where winters would get as cold as -25°c (or more) not even counting the humidity and no, I never got used to it... don't know anyone there who has
Maple flavoured water, is maple sap from the maple tree, boiled down to from sap, to syrup, then to cream, then sugar. Ever been to a sugar making camp in the forest? An unforgettable experience ! John M. Hill,author.
in 2010, during the Olympics hockey games, our classes were cancelled to watched the games in our auditorium. Crosby’s golden goal was crazy, i’ve never had such intense goosebumps since.
I remember the tournament of the century back in 1972 when Canada played against USSR. We had small transistor radios hidden in our desks and earphone that we tried more or less to hide. The teachers probably knew and let it pass.
Yes! Much love from Ontario! Also! I did a bit of research for you and you might be surprised to know that there is a company currently in Texas, Karbach Brewing Co., that has their own brand of Ranch Water Hard Seltzer. They are expanding into Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado and Tennessee. 🙂❤
There are huge differences between Canadians from province to province. It’s truly amazing. Would be great to have you over. Enjoy your videos, I laugh at you & us. Take care eh 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Tyler thank you for these video’s! It helps me 100% born and raised Canadian understand my new American daughter in law. And YES she’s fallen in love with Ketchup Potato Chips😅.
Hail is definitely a thing on the prairies. In Alberta, the Insurance Board hires planes to seed clouds with silver iodide. This forces a larger number of smaller diameter hailstones to fall and saves them lots of $$ on insurance payouts for crop and property damage. It doesn’t always work, but it saves them enough money annually to keep paying for the program.
For the cold, it actually used to be a common practice to have babies nap outside in their strollers, wrapped in blankets and snow apparel, during the winter. 🤷♀️
This might just be a small town thing, but there’s only artistic graffiti, the only one in my area that isn’t says “have a nice day!” With a smiling face next to it, it’s adorable and it makes me so happy every time I drive past it.
Our family was on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris when a small child ran into us. The mom apologized profusely. My husband asked her where she lived in Canada. She asked how she knew she was in Canada. He told her she said eh.
As a Canadian I've never bought or saw someome buy a bag of milk. Also the whole Maple thing is odd to me. I use maple syrup maybe once every 5 years on pancakes. I've had maple flavored snacks like donuts or cookies, but I've never heard of maple water. Also, where I live Moose are deadly. Not only can they kill you by stomping you but they kill people every year on highway collisions. They're MASSIVE
I’m a Janitor and I have put up the do not flush sign. Top list is serious while bottom part is for laughter so you remember what was written and hope that you don’t clog the toilet. Which can get costly and damaging floor and time consuming to clean up to
Maple water isn't some maple flavoured water lol. It's the raw liquid that comes out of the maple tree. The liquid that they boil to make the syrup is call maple water. At least in Québec wich is 'eau d'érable' that literally means 'maple water'. EDIT: And yeah it's delicious. We were drinking it straight from the bucket hanged on the trees when I was a kid.
It’s not maple flavoured water lol it’s actually the sap from the trees. Tastes like slightly sugared water, with a hint of maple. Tastes pretty good. Maple syrup is the boiled down sap from said water. Might be weird to most people, but there’s coconut water, among other things. Not that weird
'88 Winter Olympics in Calgary. My brother and I got to go to bobsledding with one of our Aunts and Uncles. To see tourists stare at the man in shorts and a t-shirt walking with a hot chocolate made 10 year old me smile. Welcome to winter with sun and a Chinook wind (warm breeze during cold weather). So normal.
Please react to the Newfoundlanders and their accent. My family as far as I know all come from Newfoundland and the dialectic there is very interesting. Also you can get Screeched in where, even if you are not from Newfoundland, you can become an official Newfoundlander. It’s an absolutely incredible province
We have been to all of the provinces. I have to say, Newfoundland and PEI were our favourites! The laid back feeling you get in both provinces is refreshing! Whilst in NFLD, literally everyone was so friendly. The music on the east coast is pretty amazing too! NFLD even has huge icebergs!
I only eat them when I buy Halloween candy, and I think they're not as good as they used to be. Am I losing my mind? They were so good, but now they taste like cardboard dust
I grew up in Northwestern Ontario. We sorta "get used to the cold", but also we just accept it is cold and also accept that we are going to suffer. As a teenager, I walked to school in just jeans and a light winter jacket and shoes. I froze my ass off because I didn't want to bundle up properly. The water/tears in my eyes would freeze my eyelashes/eyes shut. This was when it was -40°C, which is equal to -40°F, btw. My thighs, ears, nose and toes would be getting frostbite but I was "too cool" to wear winter clothing. That being said, when it is about 0°C to -10°C and it is warming up in the spring I have put on shorts and a long sleeve shirt to "Enjoy" the "warm" spring day.
11:43 Collisions with moose are no joke. They can go right through your windshield and crush you to death. I never have hit one but I have seen them on the side of the road, or crossing the road, plenty of times. Just think the danger from deer crossing the road but multiplied by a significantly larger body mass.
Here in Colorado elk,deer, and cows in the open range areas are something that people have to watch out for. Hitting one totals you car. Death is not unheard of.
When living in the Rockies, my ex and I were driving down a logging road and came upon a moose in the middle of the road who took exception to our presence (we did not creep up on him but stopped quite far away). The minute he looked at us and started to move threateningly toward us, I had to quickly put the car into reverse (I drove a standard) and back up as quickly as I could. You do NOT mess with moose.
we use only metric for temperature and speed limits, but everything else we use a mix of both. we measure our height and weight in feet and pounds, i work at a fabric store and people usually ask for stuff in inches etc.
In the northern part of Canada we wear plaid, because it’s like -100 with the wind chill and plaid is so warm. And in the north we are surrounded by bush. It all depends on where you’re from 😊
I have three solid coloured flannel shirts that I live in each winter (not all at once lol, but on an insanely cold day, don't challenge me cuz I'll do it)
In at least a couple of cities I've been to, even our buses are polite. They say "Sorry, not in service" if they are driving to or from their assigned route. Also, something we have here in Manitoba that doesn't exist, or isn't common, in other parts of the country, is honey dill sauce. It was invented at a restaurant here and is very popular and really good!
I was around when bagged milk was introduced. The dairies had switched from glass jugs to plastic, but the plastic jugs shrank when they were washed. So they introduced single-use bags. That was the explanation we were given then, though you hear all sorts of other explanations now. They may all be right, too.
Plastic milk jugs not only shrank when washed, people often used them as general containers for things like waste motor oil and other toxins, before returning them to the store for their deposit. The standard washing process, before refilling with milk didn't necessarily produce a clean jug. The automated packaging machinery used for bagged milk can fill the bags twice as fast as the machines filling jugs. The three plastic bags of milk, contained in one outer bag reduces to less than one square inch of plastic when recycled, therefore less plastic than jugs. Milk bags are very durable and rarely leak or puncture contrary to what many believe.
@@markreaume With a horse-drawn wagon. There's something I'm glad is gone. Every intersection had a pile of horse droppings and a gathering of all the neighbourhood dogs.
Ooh, ketchup chips!! I love ketchup chips, especially by Old Dutch, which is a purely Canadian brand, and my favourite chip brand. I'm in BC, and we used to have bagged milk, but it hasn't been here in BC for a long time. My mom (RIP) used to love Coffee Crisp, and they're really good. Not my favourite, but they are quite good. Yes, many of us Canadians will spend time outside in almost any kind of weather, or else most of us would never spend time outside most of the year. My part of BC is temperate and we can be outside most of the year, but even we have tonnes of snow sometimes. Yes, hockey is a hugely popular thing here in Canada, although not all of us are into it. I'm a die hard Canadian, but I'm not a hockey fan. *gasp!!* I'm rare this way. Maple water? That must be an Eastern Canadian thing, probably out in Ontario. Bring it here to BC!! Some of my favourite candies are maple flavoured. We don't produce maple syrup here in my part of BC, since we rarely get cold enough, and I don't think we have the right kind of maple trees, but we do love it here, too. Bird clocks aren't just a Canadian thing. I know people elsewhere in the world that have them and other clocks like that. Apologising is truly Canadian, and I've even apologised to myself if I've done something wrong. True!! haha Moose can be quite aggressive. They won't flip over a car, but they will cause massive damage to a vehicle, even buses. I've never seen that Do Not Flush sign, although it is funny. I've worn tshirts and cropped pants or skirts out in colder weather. Yes, we do develop a special ability to adjust to the cold. We have to. haha But, seriously, a body can acclimate to almost any weather, and some people - like me - run warmer, and can stand a lot of cold. Like that one guy she mentioned, I've eaten ice cream outside in cold weather. To me, ice cream is a year round thing. I know lots of police officers, mostly Mounties, and most of them I know, as well as lots of others, are very helpful to people and will help people out in times of need. The dinosaur sign - I pronounce "dinosaur" like you do, Tyler. Maybe she was saying it like Dino from the Flinstones. Anyway, the sign might be from Drumheller, Alberta, where there are large amounts of dinosaur fossils and is well known for that. I've heard that they have a lot of signage with dinosaurs on them. Female moose don't grow antlers. I agree with her that people not acknowledging a "thank-you" or grunting at it is rude. Just say "You're welcome" if you don't know what else to say. Beer drinking is quite common among Canadians, and even those of us like me who don't drink at all are very proud of our national brands. "Eh" isn't said by every Canadian, but a lot of us do. Not all the time, but we do say it. "Aboot" is definitely just a stereotype. She said that Canadians say "aboat," but not here in BC. We say "about" very much like those in Washington State and Oregon and northern California do. The mountain she lived on in Burnaby isn't really in the wildnerness, although it's closer than most of the rest of Greater Vancouver. Every part of Canada is different. Here in my town an hour or so east of Vancouver, things are different than in Vancouver. I love Canadian money. The colours are so pretty, and I love our coins, especially the loonie and the toonie. Kinder Surprise - she maybe forgot that Kinder is a brand from Europe - German, maybe? So it has German on it. Sorry for the long comment! I just have a lot to say about my country. haha :) Some of the things in the woman's video are just memes and aren't necessarily Canadian. They just happen to go along with Canadian stereotypes, and they are funny. :)
The problem with Moose is that they DON'T flip over your car. They're so tall that you'll knock their knees out with the hood of your car which sends their 1000lb bodies through your windshield.
Yup, they'll even take out a transport truck.
I’m alive because my car went under a moose. If I was driving the truck I have now I definitely wouldn’t be here to type this.
Yup, dont underestimate how absolutely HUGE a moose is. 100% of the time, your car is totalled. You're blessed if you survive.
Drove by an accident that had happened a couple minutes earlier at latest, the night before last about 3 minutes from my house on the highway. Car was messed up bad, was up on the steep downslope on other side of outside ditch. Car was flattened but hadn't rolled, moose was sadly still alive on the side of road, Damn thing was huge. I don't think everyone in the car made it. Moose accidents are petrifying.
@@chronicdose That's awful! I'm so sorry! 😓
Canadians adapt readily to the temperature changes, as temperature is all relative. It is funny to see that in autumn when it goes from 25c down to 10c many Canadians will start dressing warmer, but in spring when it goes from -20 to 10c they will start wearing shorts and head back to the beaches. It is the same 10c temperature, but it is relative, compared to the temperature from the week before.
Ken Evans: Lol…..👍🏻 So true.
I refuse to give up on my flip flops until the snow flies. And I'm not talking a skift, I mean some real snow.
So true
Exactly!
This is actually a scientific fact, studies have shown that our bodies adapt to the temperature where we are living over the course of months and years, and takes time to change back. That's why people from the desert can survive temperatures that would kill a Canadian. And visa versa...
Fun Fact : the Cajuns in Louisiana are actually displaced French-Canadians and Acadians (from the Maritimes) who were deported in 1755 as the British were trying to assimilate the French ... another interesting piece of history. I bet a ton of Americans don't know Louisiana was named after King Louis of France and used to be a French colony
They weren't deported...they left
@@cariross6855It takes only a second of googling to learn about the expulsion of the acadians. Nice try though
Over my Canadian lifetime I must have bumped into dozens of inanimate objects and said "sorry" out of habit... doubt I'm the only one
My daughter once apologized to a throw pillow for accidentally knocking it off the couch.
I always apologize to inanimate objects, or insects, or …….
i ran into a wall and apologized to it
Same though
You so aren't I've done that a lot, funny thing is I've said sorry to more inanimate stuff than people dude.
From Ontario Canada here..When my kids and I went to Disney in Florida, the young lady that was working the little food cart was so impressed with my children and their manners (they were 10 and 7), that she proceeded to give us our items at no cost. She said we were the most polite family/children she had ever served and that deserved to be rewarded. I couldn’t get over it and thanked her even more! It’s definitely a Canadian thing to be so polite and appreciative of little things.
Damn that's great, i never got outside of my province (no money for that now). One day i hope that i will be able to travel and go outside of Canada for vacation. I'm from Quebec and where i live, no one know how to speak english even if they learn it at school. They have some like me that speaking english very well, but most of my community dont speaking it cuz they dont understand it and they dont wanna learn it. But yeah one day for sure i will go outside of Canada, i want to visit Japan. ^^
Vancouver Island here. When we went up island when our girls were 2 and 6, the server gave them ice cream after the meal as he was so shocked that our girls were so well behaved. He was dreading our table but was impressed after the fact
@@GHOSTERING I'm the same. I live in BC, and spent my whole life here. I've visited most of it, but have only left it once to visit my sister when she lived in nova Scotia.
My other sister is pretty much forcing me to go to Japan in a few years (somewhere I always wanted to go but always put off due to cost). She actually went to Japan this year herself and purposely avoided places I'd like to go just so we could go together, so I really can't say no anymore.
@@phantomstarlight1366That is incredibly sweet. I hope you and your sister were/are able to go/go back.
I don't have that kind of relationship with any of my siblings, but it is incredibly heartwarming to hear of others who have that.
When you go to Japan just don't forget to learn how to say sorry, I don't speak Japanese, and how to ask where the bathroom is. Those are the first three things you should learn in any language 😄
Fun fact, on Vancouver island (BC) deer waiting at cross walks is a common occurrence. They're almost domesticated here. On the East Coast, not a chance lol
In Alberta they do too
They really do. It happens all the time. I think they realise that they won't get hits often if they walk across the crosswalk.
They are that domesticated in parts of the east coast as well. Saint Andrews NB deer could care less about humans and just growl at you if you walk by.
Yup happened to me in a crosswalk in Victoria on Vancouver island

Maple water (if you get real one) is just the sap of the Sugar Maple tree. That same water is what is boiled to concentrate the flavour and sugar into the syrup. So no it's really not weird, and it's pretty darn good
Thank you! Came here to say this :)
Though I know what it is, I have never tried it. Not common in my circle of people. First I've heard of it being marketed in stores really.
our neighbour used to tap the maple trees on our front yard and the best part was dipping in our fingers and "drinking" the sap
@@macgyveriii2818 Same. This is the first time I've heard of maple water.
Maple water is still pretty niche and I have only seen it in "fancy" grocery stores. I am not sure it if is un boiled sap, I was led to believe it is the collected water from the steam derived from boiling of of sap to make syrup. The taste is really light and not that sweet.
I once met a lady from Texas when I was traveling in Lebanon, she was so pleased to have a conversation with an English speaking person. She had asked where I was from, told her I'm from Canada, she then asked if it was true we lived in igloos 😂
I met a guy from San Francisco years ago who asked if it's true that it always snows here. I told him yes, but it pisses everyone off when the sun shines and all the igloos start to melt.
I got asked that when I was 16 visiting New York.
Then they asked How did I know what to wear here.
I replied ' When we park our dogsled at the border (to change to a car) there are travel agents that advise us what we need to know about about each state.' ✌️🤣🙏
We don't all live in one, but some of us have slept in one. On more than one occasion.
Lol im from northern MB, and moved to Winnipeg and people here believe we live in igloos in northern MB lol... It's not just Americans who think that
I tell Aussies that we have great skin because of the whale blubber and that Canadians have to wear Moose Mittens to protect our hands from the cold.

Bagged milk is only sold in Ontario, Quebec, and possibly the Maritimes (pretty sure not at all in Newfoundland and Labrador & anywhere west of Ontario). In the 70s, Canada converted to the metric system. This meant that the dairy producers had to replace and resize all of their existing milk containers (they were all measured in quarts before). That's when they started using milk bags since they were easier and cheaper to adjust. In many parts of Canada, the bags became less popular and the jugs were cheaper to buy, so in western Canada, there are no more milk bags, they just use jugs, bottles, or cartons. In Ontario, jugs had a lot more restrictions than bags, so stores and producers mostly stuck to using bags. I live in Toronto, so I buy bagged milk which comes in 3 bags of around 1.33 litres all in a big pack, so you get 4 litres in total. These bags are also more environmentally efficient, as the plastic is thinner and uses up to 75% less plastic than a normal milk jug, and are lighter which means less energy is needed to ship them. By having three separate bags of milk when you buy it, you put one bag in a pitcher and cut the corner, and the other two are put in the fridge and stay fresh, as opposed to having all that milk in one big jug where it's all exposed to air and opened all at once.
We had it in NL for a little while, but it never really caught on.
I love having milk in bags. Like you said, instead of having it all open at once, you’re only opening a portion, so it stays fresh longer. And if someone accidentally drops the container, you have a lot less to clean up! Plus, it’s not so heavy and easier to control the pouring of it. I also find it’s easier to store in the fridge, instead of a giant container, full height, in a single spot, you have a smaller ones that can be shifted around onto short shelves or small spaces.
We didn’t switch to cartons until late 80s. Mind you we had our own Jersey for a decade but before that it was always bagged and cartons felt so modern. Lol But people would be adamant one tasted better than the others depending which they liked, bagged or carton.
I think the last time I can recall bagged milk in Saskatchewan is the early 90s. Oddly enough, they *do* have bagged milk in the US. Wisconsin based (locations in Eastern Minnesota and Iowa too) Kwik Trip carries milk in bags and have as long as I can remember.
Milk in bags where there before the conversion to metric, it replaced the old glass bottles that the milkman left at your front door in the morning (yes, I'm old). I remember when it was 3 one quart bags, but it's true that it was easier to adjust to metric.
Our favourite weather quote in Alberta is, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes, it will change” 😂
Same for when I lived in New Brunswick 😂
@@michellesotelo85 Ditto for BC!
I think that applies to pretty much all of Canada. 😉☺
As a Canadian my favourite maple product is maple whisky. It made by Sortilege. You could put it on your pancakes it’s that smooth and delicious.

1. I am Canadian and have never even heard of maple water until now. 2. The moose are a road hazard. Drivers run into them in NL on highways, especially at dusk when moose are on the move and will unexpectedly run in front of cars on the road. The moose usually dies in the collision and the car is wrecked. Often the people inside are injured or killed as well. The sign is probably a road sign warning motorists to be vigilant and watch for moose. 3. Bull moose have antlers. Females (cows) do not. 4. Tim Horton's is basically a donut/coffee shop and is ubiquitous in Canada. 5. The use of "eh" in Canadian language is area specific - it's not commonly used in some provinces. 6. Newfoundland is Canadian, but very different from the rest of Canada. Check out Newfoundland music by Great Big Sea or more classics by Dick Nolan. Listen to "We'll Rant and We'll Roar" or to "I'se the B'y" for traditional music. "Saltwater Joys" is a beautiful song by Buddy Wassisname and the Other Fellas. We also have unique dialects and a fair sense of humour in Newfoundland. There is a dictionary of Newfoundland English. Try listening to some of Rick Mercer, for a sample of fairly modern Newfoundland humour. Also, 'Tales from Pigeon Inlet' by Ted Russell is a sample of Newfoundland stories that are worth a listen. These things are first Newfoundland, but also Canadian. Like the USA, Canada is diverse and, like Alaska is different from the other states, so Newfoundland is different from other provinces in Canada. SO........ Most of these "Canadian stereotypes" do not apply to Newfies at all. But, the point is that the cultural uniqueness and diversity in Canada is vast, so stereotyping Canadians simply cannot be accomplished. Usually, those who attempt to do so are stereotyping Ontarians or Quebecers and extending that stereotype as if it applies to the rest of this country.
i love that this random American guy is so interested about learning about Canada. as someone living in ottawa, your ottawa video was my favourite! bonne journée!
Tyler, I do wonder what you would make of the house hippo. Also, the Canada-Russia hockey series of 1972 pretty much shut down the country during each game. My university ran the feed through all the auditoriums and hallway tvs as that was all anyone could concentrate on. The moose danger is real. A very Canadian expression when talking about the cold,or occasionally heat, is to say "but it is a dry cold(heat)" as the Temps are more comfortable without the humidity. This girl is having fun, she sounds more American as she is from Alberta. Snow varies a lot depending on where you live; in Vancouver it tends to be heavy and wet, plus it is very hilly, and drivers forget how to drive in the stuff until after a snowfall or two.
Unless it has changed very recently, it is illegal to take a Kinder into the US. Fine used to be $500 as they are considered adulterated and a hazard.
My favourite traffic caution sign is of a giant mosquito. The warning is valid.
here on the pacific coast of BC we often refer to the cold being a damp or wet cold! and Yes without a waterproof outer layer it can be nasty especially if its a rain snow mix hypothermia can be a real risk if exposed for too long
As children travelling the states in summer, we would get asked if it was cold in Canada. We would laugh and tell them that we have central heating in our igloos.
You must be the reason why someone in California asked us if we grew popsicles on our farm! (Saskatchewan)

Moose are the wild animal that kill the most number of people in Canada. You should do a reaction to how big and dangerous moose are, I'm pretty sure there are some videos out there.
They don't kill on purpose though.. It's in the dangers of driving
And they are not invincible. Yes, most mooses will be able to walk away after a crash but you have to call the authorities so that they can find the animal and make sure it's fine.
nothing to do with 'wildness'. it is to do with hitting them on the highway and 800 to 1200 lb. comes through the windshield., your dead.
@@Redjs90 Actually most of the time the authorities will look for it to hunt it down and put it to sleep. Most mooses die after those crashes but they just have the strength to run away after the hit.
Unless, of course, you are out camping and you come face to face with a momma moose and her babies.
Coffee Crisp chocolate bars and ketchup chips are indeed delicious. And if you've never had maple cookies, you should really try them! It's really not weird to have maple-flavored things. It's not like ranch. Maple is a type of sugar substitute after all, so it's no different from having brown sugar cookies or molasses cookies.
exactly, I was really confused that he though it was weird. You just gotta imagine it in the same realm as chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and like you said, molasse. All sweet things/flavors
Jos Lous is another Canadian treat
I have watched too many videoes on UA-cam and I instantly understood that she was Canadian. She seems less stressed, dont have a fake smile and dont seem indoctrinated. Kinda more free like there is not a heavy burden on her shoulders. Most funny and relaxed woman I have seen in a while. So many Americans feel fake
Edit: From Norway btw
As a Canadian woman I can say we might just be better at hiding our pain lol. In all honesty I take that as a huge compliment! ❤
@@chelseaclerke3582 hang in the buddy! :)
Please cover a video on Newfoundland! It has the most diversity of the English language in regional dialects in North America! It’s not where I live but it’s my favourite province. Seriously, it would be both a hoot and enlightening!
Ya new foundlanders are the most giving and caring people. And funny too😊

It all starts as teens. We try to be cool by not bulking up with winter gear. Keep it simple with a sweater. But then we transition to adults and we realize how stupid we were as kids. It's pretty rare to see someone wear shorts in the winter. However, in the spring when snow is still on the ground Canadians aren't afraid to whip out the shorts.
My brother, from a young age, now into his mid-20's, will still wear shorts in minus 30° weather! It drives me crazy because I am always cold!!!
I have discovered as i've gotten older that kids just don't feel the cold as much. When I was a preteen I sometimes would go roll down a snowbank in a tank top, it wasn't to look cool or anything either we lived in the country there was no one around. I was just too dang warm cause we had a wood stove. Now that i'm older doing that sounds like the most horrible thing ever. But I don't regret not putting the coat on my mother told me to at that age, b/c at that time I just did not feel it the same way I do now.
I think sometimes its more to do with not wanting to always take the time to "bulk up" in winter, sometimes just zipping out the door without the hat, the scarf, the gloves, the big coat, the boots is the goal if just running somewhere.
My father got offered a job in the police because he was a great hockey player. He was given a uniform and a gun, and the accompanying salary, but didn't have to perform any police duties. All he had to do was play hockey and win games. That was in the 1950s, but it goes to show how important it is here.
I’m Canadian, and did the exact same thing with wearing not enough clothes in very cold weather. Don’t get me wrong, you’re still cold as F. We don’t have some special internal insulation that makes us not feel it, but for some reason as a teenager it was not “cool“ to wear a full parka, mukluks, and a touque
Yeah, I suffered in my old Jean jacket.
A Canadian rite of passage.
@@BylethMain LOL I read mukluks and thought I was so proud when I bought myself a pair of mukluks. It WAS fashionable at the time. But then so were fur coats etc.
Did the same. You wise up over time though.
My son refuses to wear a jacket. It’s not cool
I love how genuine tyler always is and the mannerisms of his jokes, always makes it very enjoyable to watch
I don’t give a hoot in hell whether you could be my grandson or not but yours is definitely one of the most informative and entertaining channels I’ve ever come across on UA-cam. Just keep on rockin’!
Coffee Crisp isn't just coffee flavoured, but it has actual coffee in it. They're pretty high in caffeine, for a chocolate bar.
chocolate is high in caffeine without any coffee mixed in.
You're right...it's not coffee flavored. It's a crunchy coffee cake covered with chocolate
I would do anything for a coffee crisp lol
All I think about is the commercial
How do you like your coffee?
I like my coffee crisp lol
My favorite.
I'm born and bred Canadian and I've never heard of maple water. Years ago a co-worker hit a moose while driving his motorcycle - he spent months recovering but he was lucky to have survived. I'm sure that's not just a Canadian issue - it must also happen in Maine, Vermont and any other state that has a moose population.
Maple water is the raw material for or precursor of, maple syrup, you need hundreds of litres of maple water boiled for hours, until it condenses into maple syrup…learn the basics yo! 🍁🇨🇦
I wonder if it's a thing from the east, as here in BC, we don't have maple water. I'd be curious to try it.
@@michelleknowles700 I'm in Ontario. Perhaps it's farther east!
@@teresacartwright5406 I think so. :)
I live in Winterpeg and saw Maple water at No Frills and was like wtf is that...
Moose are not everywhere in Canada, but very common to find them standing in the middle of the roads where I live. I came over a hill to greet a giant momma and the CUTEST calf this summer!!! It was only 2-3 months old and eye level with the hood of my truck!! They will literally just stand there and stare at you with a look of disgust on their face 🤣
*edit: bears are also so common here that they put up signs for tourists and newcomers that say: "please don't feed the bears"
I can't believe people need to be told that!!
I also saw a juvenile male bald eagle up close at the dump yesterday, he was gorgeous! I love it here 💖🇨🇦
Similar in the NWT with the bison. Those f*ckers will mess up a semi, and most likely get up and walk away (mostly a joke). And yet, their babies are super cute and tourists (what we call ‘Southerners’) will want to get out of their cars to pet/get pictures with/of them. 🤦🏼♀️ Just, no.
Moose are in about 98% of Canada. You need to educate yourself kid
Lol moose are definitely from where I grew up and they are CRAZY.. They will chase every vehicle they see, won't even be on the road either, they run out of the woods to chase them..
Those beasts are invincible for sure, they will get hit by and wreck a semi and walk away fine
As a Canadian I can say that yes many Canadians can handle the cold weather, I can go out in shorts and a tshirt in -20C weather easily. That being said when I go to the south (ie Texas, AZ) I can NOT handle the heat at all. I've been told the cold weather makes your blood thicker and that's the reason, not sure if that's true
it is and it isn't, when a human is raised in a cold climate we instinctively develop a ability to regulate the blood vessel in our extremities where it will slow blood flow just enough to keep hands and feet above freezing by turning on blood flow briefly.
Growing up in New Brunswick, the moose alerts were a real thing. There are lots of secondary roads through the woods, and hitting a moose was relatively common. Your car could be a write-off. And you had the potential to be really hurt. They're huge!
Hey like your episodes I find them funny as a Canadian, and the bagged milk reactions are hilarious! it was actually developed to save on shipping costs as opposed to fitting 4 jugs in a milk crate the company can now fit 5 bags in a crate each bag holds 3 smaller bags in it that you put into a holder to pour, the bag and jug both hold the same amount of milk.
I think the Canadian cold resistance is a developed thing. I moved to Canada when I was 10 from the UK and could not stand the cold. Now I go out in negative weather and am like "Meh don't really need a coat today"
The fact that you said me makes it official you are a canuck❤
meh
I'm québecois and I truly hope my observation about winter attire won't offend any of my Canadian brethren. Never in my life have I gone out in winter not properly dressed for the season, at least not intentionally or while sober. But going out in the freezing cold underdressed truly is a stereotype québecois have toward Anglophones, especially college/university students. I lived a couple years in Kingston, ON, and saw this regularly from Queen's University students. I've been living in the Eastern Townships in Québec for the last 25 years, where there are many Anglo towns and where Bishop's University is, and there's a genuine stereotype about students walking around in the dead cold of winter in shorts and Birkenstocks. I've seen this both here and while I was living in Ontario. Obviously, this does not necessarily make it true for all English Canadians but around here, it's enough to fuel stereotypes it seems. But in all fairness, this phenomenon seems to be spreading to the French Canadian youth as well, given that socks and not rolled up pants aren't cool. God, writing this post makes me feel old lol
I’ve never subscribed to a channel faster than I did after watching 2 of your videos, it’s so nice to see an American who actually knows, and listens about Canadian things
I think it’s lovely that you want to learn about Canada and other countries. Shows an open mind, willing to learn and I really hope that you have an opportunity to visit all the countries you are learning about
A true story about polite deer. I once lived in a busy area right across from the hospital. Where I live there are a lot of deer and rabbits everywhere. I had a ground floor suite and as I was having breakfast and deer walked by my window. That was odd even here because there were no Woods nearby. I went out my balcony and saw the deer had two fawna. Mama dear let her babies down the sidewalk, they stood at the intersection to cross the street to the hospital. They waited for the light to change and when the walk man sign came on the mom led the deer cross LOL.
During hunting season, in Truro, Nova Scotia, the deer come out of the woods and take over the town. It would be extremely common to see them strolling down the sidewalks and using the crosswalks at appropriate times! Sorry, Not a Meme! 😜
Always enjoy your videos Tyler!
😂
Surprisingly I too have seen deer in crosswalks.
a herd of deer were crossing the road in the middle of nowhere in complete darkness, and there was a truck pulled over on the opposite lane facing towards me with blazing lights, and I was blinded so I slowed down and all of a sudden drove between two massive deer crossing the road, i was SO relieved I didnt put a deer through my grille in the Rocky's.
Seen that too!
Canadian here, just found your channel. I say sorry to inanimate objects. Many of us do. It's so prevalent that a law was put in to prevent people who say sorry when they get into a car accident from being considered as having admitted they were at fault.
For the milk you can buy a pack that has 2 or 3 bags of milk so it takes up less space in the fridge and yes it's easier to recycle. Also when you get milk delivered it makes it easier with bags. For the maple water, it's not maple-flavored, it's actually maple sap boiled down and mixed in :)
You can still get milk delivered?
@@JoDee172 I am not sure about now, but in Quebec if I go back 5-10 years my parent got milk bags delivered every week :)
Also, 4L (about a gallon, for the Americans) of milk comes in 3 sealed bags, rather than 1 big jug - so the unopened bags don't spoil as fast. Plus you can get a pitcher with a cute cow on it to put it in. :)
Ieeew micro-plastic (bags) in the milk. It's much easier to puncture too, than cartons esp if you drop it/them.😢
I don't drink it anymore.... But even so. Cartons are much better!😊
Milk in plastic bags were introduced because of the metric system. For the maple water, it is the water that comes directly out of the tree (tree sap, which has a unique taste and is really good) then it is boiled to become a syrup
How do you like your coffee? Crisp! That was the inaugural ad campaign for the bar when I was a kid … and I’m no kid now! And the bar kinda-sorta tastes like sweet, creamy coffee. And chocolate!
It was not the inaugural ad campaign. It is simply the first one you remember. You have taken the word 'inaugural', which was referencing the candy bars ad campaign history, and applied the word incorrectly to yourself. 👍
80's kids, like me, remember this commercial most ☺
@@elizabethsullivan7176 I was born in 1953. I remember when the bar was first introduced, in black and white, on TV. It became my father’s favourite treat. I won’t turn down a Coffee Crisp ever!!
this product was invented by an English chocolate maker called Rowntree that is no longer a Canadian presence. To bad really !
Beaver tails are amazing and you can essentially have them however you want. The picture just shows some ways you can eat them. If I'm not mistaken, the OG beaver tail is literally just the dough with cinnamon sugar. I could be wrong and that may just be the first one that I had. But yeah, top the dough with anything you want. Whatever floats your boat.
Coffee Crisp has a hint of coffee flavour not over powering. My Aunt from the US when she visits buys boxes of them for her "yearly" supply.
I absolutely loathe coffee but I do love coffee crisp.
Hey Tyler, a suggestion for a video to watch, "Tom Brokaw explains Canada". It is from the Winter Olympics held in Vancouver a few years back, it has some good info you will like, and it is only about 7 minutes
You should do a reaction video to the arrogant worms. A Canadian comedy musical troupe. They're hilarious and every Canadian knows at least one of their songs by heart
Great idea, love the Arrogant Worms! I learned from them that Canada has " rocks and trees and waterrrr!" 🤣 they are hilariously brilliant.
Arrogant Worms! Watch out for the pirates on the River Saskatchewan!
I used to harvest maple water for a sugar shack which was owned by a family member (QC) when I was a kid. We would put maple water into a large reservoir on a sleigh pulled by a few horses. It was a lot of work, but unlike for other physical work, we didn't bring our own water since we could just drink maple water directly! XD pretty sure not many people had this experience.
As I remember ketchup chips (haven't had them in ages), they taste like salt and vinegar chips with a bit less bite and a hint of tomato. I loved them as a kid but not as much as I got older. Dill Pickle chips, now, are a Canadian flavour that's really good. I miss those. Salt, vinegar and a considerable amount of dill flavouring. If you enjoy pickles you'd probably enjoy the chips.
Yes, I agree. Ketchup is for kids, dill pickle for older.
I disagree on your description of dill pickle chips, it's much less tangy than the salt and vinegar ones (I literally never could eat the salt and vinegar chips as my tongue would hurt too much). I still love ketchup chips and dill pickle are a close second
Have you seen to opening ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics? It was a parade of (fun) Canadian stereotypes, we are very fortunate to have good ones (mostly)
As others have commented Maple water is the tree sap that runs in the spring. You can boil that down to make maple syrup (you'll need 40 litres to make 1 litre of syrup). We would normally use maple water in cocktails, or in baked beans where you boil the beans in the maple water and it imparts a maple flavour to the beans. Add some salt to maple water and inject it into a roast to make a delicious pot roast with maple flavoured meat. The extensions for maple products are endless. BTW maple sap changes flavour as it progresses through the season. Early in the run the flavour is very light and sweet. As the tree wakes up the sap becomes grainy with more complex "plant flavours" until it becomes sour with plant taste which is not good for syrup. The late season syrup is called "Sirop poteau" or telephopne pole syrup as it is more vegetable than sweet. This type of syrup is perfect for flavouring meat or sauces that goes with a savoury rather than a topping for pancakes.
I'm Canadian and i approve this comment.
To me (french canadian) sirop de poteau means fake syrup, like aunt jemima stuff made with corn syrup. So the stuff any normal canadian would NEVER buy lol
🖖❤
I am Canadian, and that was a fun video! Love your personality! You definitely would fit right in here in canada! This video narrator is hilarious! Thank-you for great work! Cheers 😊
Springtime is hilarious because the second the temperature is above or around 0°C you see a mix of full on winter kits and shorts, tees and sandals.
Until the last couple years where I've lost my cold tolerance due to medical reasons, I used to wear tshirt, jeans, and sandals until -20C, even if there was a foot of snow.
Now I'm stuck wearing "proper" clothes even when its like 10C. Drives me crazy actually.
Omg! I'm dying to correct/add to some of what she said but did you know there are character limits to comments? Lol my biggest issue was when she called Canada a cultural "melting pot". We're actually more of a cultural "mosaic" because we accept different cultures whole cloth and add their individualism to our own. Like a mosaic that takes many lovely pieces and brings them all together to make an overall beautiful image. I think a "melting pot" would be more akin to Americans in that they mix other cultures into their own by breaking down what makes them unique and turns them into the "beige" homogeneous culture of America. I think both are great systems and suit both our countries nicely. Oh and p.s. Canada is the second largest country by landmass in the world. You could put 14 Frances in this land of ours! (Not that anyone measures that way lol) AND we have a tenth of the population of the USA. So, yeah, Canada's really big. 🤔
Some provinces have no identity ... mostly Asians ... we have a culture and history but immigrants do not care . Toronto does not define the identity of Canada ... I think Canadians should respect their heritage first and understand our history ... unfortunately Canada is like USA people are watching violent, dram , racist movies from USA , watch the same TV shows and they think they are polite but they are not .. they are just talking behind your back and sorry does not mean anything ... it is like an habit ...
Yes, that bugged me too. US is a melting pot, Canada is a mosaic.
Also high 5 on the Arrogant Worms reference. ;)
The melting pot remark really bugged me too and was obviously wrong.
The people who started Beaver Tails used to live across the street from me. It was just a small operation then, one store and running the canal snack kiosks in winter.
I am so amazed to see it as such a big thing now.
Born in Toronto 82 years ago. Moved to San Francisco with nursing at 21 and met and married an AMERICAN(57 years and never went back except to visit. My sister still says”eh”,I believe Tim Horton was a hockey player,Canadians really are,for the most part,courteous and I have always hated camping and cold weather! Thank you so much for doing this series! Reminds me what I miss about Canada!
🇨🇦love that you are doing this! Thank you for taking the time to explore Canada. Keep up the good work!!! Watching from BC’s capital, Victoria, on Vancouver Island. ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks for doing these videos. It's nice to see such a thoughtful reaction. :)
About the moose without the antlers, that one was a female. Only the males have antlers.
Hail denting your car is absolutely a thing. I was on a trip with my mom and sisters, and this happened to us. A lot of people just drove under various overpasses to wait the storm out.
Seeing the deer crossing at the crosswalk is a bit funny, because where I grew up, they are everywhere. There's a line of cedar trees near the house where I grew up that look like something out of Dr. Seuss because the deer have eaten everything within reach so you've got a perfectly shaped tree with a really long trunk. This is in the middle of town.
From grade 8 to grade 11 I went through the no jacket phase. It didn’t matter what the situation was, a hoodie was always the appropriate answer.
I can’t even tell you what it was, if I was too hot or just angsty. I vividly remember walking to Swiss (s/o yeg gang) for a poutine and donair during lunch in Jr. High through a snow storm. We all just wore hoodies and jeans 😂
When I first arrived in Canada (from a tropical country), I was super bundled up. When I had been here for a few years, skirts and tights in negative weather…because fashion. Lol.
Yes, I have Jamaican friends that immigrated to Canada knowing that it would be a colder climate, but could never have imagined how cold. You need to dress for the cold in early winter and late winter when the temperatures may be minus 5 to -10 degrees Celcius. When mid winter temperatures sink to minus 30 to 35, or minus 40 with wind chill factor, the cold is painful as it bites you in the ass when you go out of the door and skin can freeze in 15 seconds.
As a French speaking Canadian, you would be surprised how many persons don’t know we exist. When I’m traveling, people always asks where everyone are from. I have a slight accent when I speak in English and I like to play the “guess where I’m from” game. They usually have to go through many guesses and hints (sometimes very obvious) before guessing I’m from Canada.
I'm from Ontario (Ottawa). It's impossible not to know about French people/Quebecois where I'm from. 🇨🇦
Indeed. I've lived in the Netherlands for a few years, and they all find my English strange but never assume it's from the French-speaking part of Canada. It boggles their mind that we live in French in Canada...
Poor you, people think you may come from a French country cuz you have a French accent. Shocker
@@yourbudspud9366 Lol, what are you talking about? That's not remotely close to what I was saying...and not even true. My English accent is quite different to the English of people from France.
@@martinhoude3518 people know you guys exist. We are literally known as a bilingual country.
As others have pointed out, maple sap is boiled into syrup, which may be further boiled to obtain a very thick syrup drizzled upon snow called taffy, and this can be further boiled to obtain maple sugar which, once cooled, is hard enough to kill a man with (same as unrefined sugar, actually). Note that maple water is known to be VERY laxative, but not other maple products.
So I can kill a guy then eat the evidence… good to know
Maple syrup flavoured water is precisely what comes out of the trees in the spring...a natural product. 🤣
Full kudos to you for actually trying, studying in fact, about Canada. I respect your efforts!
Beaver tails can have various toppings. Traditional is cinnamon sugar. They’re also called elephant ears. It’s like those hot mini cinnamon sugar donuts flattened and x 18 smushed together.
I am Canadian and have never said “eh”. It’s mostly spoken in western Canada vs the east. I speak French but my husband can’t speak a word. Maple water, is just the sap that hasn’t been reduced into syrup. It’s not maple syrup added to water. A coffee crisp is delicious. Love watching your reactions.
Right I never heard "eh" in Quebec until I made friends with a guy from... Manitoba? Somewhere in the prairies haha. I never knew it was a real thing until then :P
It's super common in New Brunswick. My part of New Brunswick anyway.
huge here in the prairies. we're also heavily native populated so that could be why, the stereotypical canadian accent sounds similar to an indigenous accent. we natives say "eh" a lot lol
I used to say "eh" a LOT until I started using the internet. When it was pointed out to me online that I said it, I ended up avoiding saying it. I still do sometimes, but its not that often anymore.
If you never have said "eh" I question your Canadianess.
As a Canadian who has always lived in Ontario (Toronto, Windsor and now Cambridge), I have never heard about maple syrup water. Then again, I have never looked for it either. Beware of moose and deer signs are used in areas where they populate. The word "about", I would think would be said by Newfoundlanders. Sometimes even Canadians have a hard time understanding what they are saying. I have always thought accents from different US states are cool. Have always thought Canadians, in Ontario at least, have no accent. By the way Tyler, I think you would fit right in in Canada.
I can think of 4 different accents just in Ontario: the franco-ontarian accent typical of northeastern Ontario, the Irish sounding accent of the Ottawa Valley, the southern Ontario accent typical of the Golden Horseshoe area that is most prevalent and the US mid-western sounding accent typical of southwestern Ontario.
@@nickgooderham2389 Wow good to know. Sounds like you have been in more places in Ontario than me and have had the opportunity to meet a lot more people than I. Am just your average Canadian now living in a small city. With all the other nationalities here, I don't notice any other accents. You must have an exciting life.
@@sandrastone3908 wow but you have Newftuguese living in Cambridge.., you know the ones that are from Portugal and Newfoundland.... .lmao
@@tomcatmeow69 Wow never met someone who was Portuguese living in Newfoundland. Suppose there are those of different nationalities living there too. Can't imagine the different accents.
Toronto is mainly immigrants from China and Indian with very strong accents
The moose sign is so normal north of Edmonton due to so many people dying by crashing into them, so that night time speed limits are reduced. In the late 1980s in Alberta we had both milk in cartons and bags, but bags went away since people hated them, have not seen milk in bags in any western Canada since.
The moose sign is definitely a thing. The problem is (beyond hitting the poor moose), that moose are MASSIVE and very top-heavy, and they're so tall that if you hit it with your car, you hit the legs, and the entire massively heavy body slams into the part where you're sitting. A friend of mine hit one once, and it completely totaled her car.
I've seen a lot of the moose and deer crossing signs too. Tho the closest I came to hitting wildlife with my car was a huge eagle that swooped in front of me. 😮
In Ecuador we have llama signs
In Saskatchewan, Canada, July is the only month that hasn't had a recorded snow fall. We have had snow fall in the first week in June, and in the last week of August. Not in the same year, and not all the time, nor does the snow last very long. But it has happened, and is generally a surprise when it does.
Alberta has recorded snowfall every month of some years, not much maybe and maybe only over 10000 feet in the mtns, but it was snow!
5:25 BEAVERTAILS ARE SOOOOOOO GOOOD.
I used to live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and there are a lot of deer that come into the residential areas at the edge of the city. I have personally seen a group of deer wait at the corner until the walk light came on and they walked through the crosswalk to go to the park on the other side of the road. Blew my mind.
Several Deer sleep in my yard and prune my Shrubs here in Winnipeg, the city looks like a low flat elm forest with tall buildings occasionally poking up, I have had to supervise indoor recess because a rutting moose had taken over the playground. I have stayed in hotels with “please consider our room cleaning staff- no deer butchering in the bathtub- please ask at the front desk for access to the slaughter shed.” For hunters.
Her accent is albertamerican. It’s October 4th and snow started today in a town north of here. University students west little canvas shoes at 40C below waiting for the bus. Death by fashion. At a hotel in North Carolina a police officer asked us to head inside, so we did, thanked her and she asked if we were Canadian. No idea how she figured it out, or why she wanted us inside.
I found folks in the states very polite and exuberant.
@@keithlightminder3005 I've always loved the urban forest aspect of Winnipeg. I used to work security (specifically parking patrol) at the HSC so I'd end up on the top level of the parking garages multiple times a day. Third or fourth level up is perfect to show off the urban forest
I live along the lake and one of the biggest grumbling from drivers is having to constantly stop for the Canadian Geese crossing the road. Depending on the number of geese crossing, it sometimes does cause a traffic jam with dozens of cars waiting for them to complete their slow walk across the road. On occasion some drivers will blow their horns which is hysterical because it doesn’t faze the geese. LOL
Nothing phases a cobra chicken!
We did this in kelowna all the time nobody seemed to mind except the bozo who blew his horn thinking the ducks would move.
@@BarnDoorProductions LOL
Canada geese!
In the 70s had a friend who driving a big old Cadillac up north in Canada, a large moose cross the road as he hit the Cadillac he totaled the Cadillac, got up and kept on going. The Cadillac was totaled and they were big cars in those days
I've never heard of Dunkaroos, and I'm Canadian. Also, yeah, the moose danger sign is very real, in pretty much every province and territory except maybe PEI. Also "dee-no" is a Flintstones character. We say "die-no-saur"
Except en français.
So True, also the Canada Geese these creatures are very mean but well respected, hitting one with a motor vehicle we'll end up fined.
In alberta, on the prairie part, we have rattlesnake warning signs, warning you not to harm them, they are a protected species...
The thing about the cold is: You get acclimatized to it, just like everywhere else. I would feel just as uncomfortable where you live during the summer as you would coming here in the winter.
The first winter in the prairies will be your worst, but after that, it will only be the extremes that will be as uncomfortable.
We also quickly learn to dress for the weather. And the trick there is, layers. "You can always take a jacket/sweater off if you are too hot, but you can't magically make a sweater appear if you are too cold."
Personally, anything between -25C and 25C (-13F to 77F) is fine, but anything outside of that gets uncomfortable.
13 below 0 is 'fine'? You must live in northern Alberta/Saskatchewan. Too cold for me.
@@frogsmoker714 central saskatchewan, but you were close enough. Lol.
As I once said to some online gaming friends from Texas: " When it is -40, I can always light a fire to get warm. When it is 105 in the shade, here is a glass of water ... go ahead and make an ice cube. "

Maple flavoured water, is maple sap from the maple tree, boiled down to from sap, to syrup, then to cream, then sugar. Ever been to a sugar making camp in the forest? An unforgettable experience ! John M. Hill,author.
in 2010, during the Olympics hockey games, our classes were cancelled to watched the games in our auditorium. Crosby’s golden goal was crazy, i’ve never had such intense goosebumps since.
I remember the tournament of the century back in 1972 when Canada played against USSR. We had small transistor radios hidden in our desks and earphone that we tried more or less to hide. The teachers probably knew and let it pass.
There have been a couple of times in my life where I have apologized to a garbage can after bumping into it.
Canadian here!!!
Yes! Much love from Ontario!
Also! I did a bit of research for you and you might be surprised to know that there is a company currently in Texas, Karbach Brewing Co., that has their own brand of Ranch Water Hard Seltzer. They are expanding into Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado and Tennessee. 🙂❤
There are huge differences between Canadians from province to province. It’s truly amazing. Would be great to have you over. Enjoy your videos, I laugh at you & us. Take care eh 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Tyler thank you for these video’s! It helps me 100% born and raised Canadian understand my new American daughter in law. And YES she’s fallen in love with Ketchup Potato Chips😅.
Hail is definitely a thing on the prairies. In Alberta, the Insurance Board hires planes to seed clouds with silver iodide. This forces a larger number of smaller diameter hailstones to fall and saves them lots of $$ on insurance payouts for crop and property damage. It doesn’t always work, but it saves them enough money annually to keep paying for the program.
For the cold, it actually used to be a common practice to have babies nap outside in their strollers, wrapped in blankets and snow apparel, during the winter. 🤷♀️
I did that with both of my kids when they were little 👍Some still do it.
My mom put us (wrapped up!) in our baby carriage on the front step for 5 minutes when it was minus 12.
My mother did this with us as well in Alberta!
You’ve learned so much about Canada! Well done!
This might just be a small town thing, but there’s only artistic graffiti, the only one in my area that isn’t says “have a nice day!” With a smiling face next to it, it’s adorable and it makes me so happy every time I drive past it.
Our family was on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris when a small child ran into us. The mom apologized profusely. My husband asked her where she lived in Canada. She asked how she knew she was in Canada. He told her she said eh.
As a Canadian I've never bought or saw someome buy a bag of milk. Also the whole Maple thing is odd to me. I use maple syrup maybe once every 5 years on pancakes. I've had maple flavored snacks like donuts or cookies, but I've never heard of maple water. Also, where I live Moose are deadly. Not only can they kill you by stomping you but they kill people every year on highway collisions. They're MASSIVE
Here in Ontario I get bagged milk. I think it’s less of a thing out west, not sure what they have in the east.
I’m a Janitor and I have put up the do not flush sign. Top list is serious while bottom part is for laughter so you remember what was written and hope that you don’t clog the toilet. Which can get costly and damaging floor and time consuming to clean up to
Maple water isn't some maple flavoured water lol. It's the raw liquid that comes out of the maple tree. The liquid that they boil to make the syrup is call maple water. At least in Québec wich is 'eau d'érable' that literally means 'maple water'. EDIT: And yeah it's delicious. We were drinking it straight from the bucket hanged on the trees when I was a kid.
It’s not maple flavoured water lol it’s actually the sap from the trees. Tastes like slightly sugared water, with a hint of maple. Tastes pretty good. Maple syrup is the boiled down sap from said water. Might be weird to most people, but there’s coconut water, among other things. Not that weird
Yes!!! That bugged me! It was yelling at my phone “it’s not maple FLAVOURED water, it is maple water”!!!
'88 Winter Olympics in Calgary. My brother and I got to go to bobsledding with one of our Aunts and Uncles. To see tourists stare at the man in shorts and a t-shirt walking with a hot chocolate made 10 year old me smile. Welcome to winter with sun and a Chinook wind (warm breeze during cold weather). So normal.
Please react to the Newfoundlanders and their accent. My family as far as I know all come from Newfoundland and the dialectic there is very interesting. Also you can get Screeched in where, even if you are not from Newfoundland, you can become an official Newfoundlander. It’s an absolutely incredible province
We have been to all of the provinces. I have to say, Newfoundland and PEI were our favourites! The laid back feeling you get in both provinces is refreshing! Whilst in NFLD, literally everyone was so friendly. The music on the east coast is pretty amazing too! NFLD even has huge icebergs!
Yes! Newfie accents are the best.
Coffee crisp has a mocha type flavour. It's really good!
I only eat them when I buy Halloween candy, and I think they're not as good as they used to be. Am I losing my mind? They were so good, but now they taste like cardboard dust
I grew up in Northwestern Ontario. We sorta "get used to the cold", but also we just accept it is cold and also accept that we are going to suffer. As a teenager, I walked to school in just jeans and a light winter jacket and shoes. I froze my ass off because I didn't want to bundle up properly. The water/tears in my eyes would freeze my eyelashes/eyes shut. This was when it was -40°C, which is equal to -40°F, btw. My thighs, ears, nose and toes would be getting frostbite but I was "too cool" to wear winter clothing. That being said, when it is about 0°C to -10°C and it is warming up in the spring I have put on shorts and a long sleeve shirt to "Enjoy" the "warm" spring day.
11:43 Collisions with moose are no joke. They can go right through your windshield and crush you to death. I never have hit one but I have seen them on the side of the road, or crossing the road, plenty of times. Just think the danger from deer crossing the road but multiplied by a significantly larger body mass.
Here in Colorado elk,deer, and cows in the open range areas are something that people have to watch out for. Hitting one totals you car. Death is not unheard of.
When living in the Rockies, my ex and I were driving down a logging road and came upon a moose in the middle of the road who took exception to our presence (we did not creep up on him but stopped quite far away). The minute he looked at us and started to move threateningly toward us, I had to quickly put the car into reverse (I drove a standard) and back up as quickly as I could. You do NOT mess with moose.
we use only metric for temperature and speed limits, but everything else we use a mix of both. we measure our height and weight in feet and pounds, i work at a fabric store and people usually ask for stuff in inches etc.
In the northern part of Canada we wear plaid, because it’s like -100 with the wind chill and plaid is so warm. And in the north we are surrounded by bush. It all depends on where you’re from 😊
Yes, the plaid shirt isn't just the colour, it's the flannel. Good flannel is incredibly warm.
I have three solid coloured flannel shirts that I live in each winter (not all at once lol, but on an insanely cold day, don't challenge me cuz I'll do it)
hi - it's not the plaid that is warm, it is the material (wool or flannel) which it is made from...😀
In at least a couple of cities I've been to, even our buses are polite. They say "Sorry, not in service" if they are driving to or from their assigned route. Also, something we have here in Manitoba that doesn't exist, or isn't common, in other parts of the country, is honey dill sauce. It was invented at a restaurant here and is very popular and really good!
Sounds delicious!
Im Canadian... how on earth do you sound MORE Canadian than anyone I know?!?! Great videos bud.
I was around when bagged milk was introduced. The dairies had switched from glass jugs to plastic, but the plastic jugs shrank when they were washed. So they introduced single-use bags. That was the explanation we were given then, though you hear all sorts of other explanations now. They may all be right, too.
Plastic milk jugs not only shrank when washed, people often used them as general containers for things like waste motor oil and other toxins, before returning them to the store for their deposit. The standard washing process, before refilling with milk didn't necessarily produce a clean jug. The automated packaging machinery used for bagged milk can fill the bags twice as fast as the machines filling jugs. The three plastic bags of milk, contained in one outer bag reduces to less than one square inch of plastic when recycled, therefore less plastic than jugs.
Milk bags are very durable and rarely leak or puncture contrary to what many believe.
I'm old enough to remember the Milk Man driving around and selling glass bottles of milk.
@@markreaume With a horse-drawn wagon. There's something I'm glad is gone. Every intersection had a pile of horse droppings and a gathering of all the neighbourhood dogs.
@@chrisgraham2904 That makes sense. and it's a reason they wouldn't advertise. Thanks. In fact the shrinkage issue may have been completely invented.
@@johnfitzgerald7618 Okay, I'm not that old :-) I remember it being a short yellow truck. He would ring a bell as he went through the neighborhood.
Ooh, ketchup chips!! I love ketchup chips, especially by Old Dutch, which is a purely Canadian brand, and my favourite chip brand.
I'm in BC, and we used to have bagged milk, but it hasn't been here in BC for a long time.
My mom (RIP) used to love Coffee Crisp, and they're really good. Not my favourite, but they are quite good.
Yes, many of us Canadians will spend time outside in almost any kind of weather, or else most of us would never spend time outside most of the year. My part of BC is temperate and we can be outside most of the year, but even we have tonnes of snow sometimes.
Yes, hockey is a hugely popular thing here in Canada, although not all of us are into it. I'm a die hard Canadian, but I'm not a hockey fan. *gasp!!* I'm rare this way.
Maple water? That must be an Eastern Canadian thing, probably out in Ontario. Bring it here to BC!! Some of my favourite candies are maple flavoured. We don't produce maple syrup here in my part of BC, since we rarely get cold enough, and I don't think we have the right kind of maple trees, but we do love it here, too.
Bird clocks aren't just a Canadian thing. I know people elsewhere in the world that have them and other clocks like that.
Apologising is truly Canadian, and I've even apologised to myself if I've done something wrong. True!! haha
Moose can be quite aggressive. They won't flip over a car, but they will cause massive damage to a vehicle, even buses.
I've never seen that Do Not Flush sign, although it is funny.
I've worn tshirts and cropped pants or skirts out in colder weather. Yes, we do develop a special ability to adjust to the cold. We have to. haha But, seriously, a body can acclimate to almost any weather, and some people - like me - run warmer, and can stand a lot of cold. Like that one guy she mentioned, I've eaten ice cream outside in cold weather. To me, ice cream is a year round thing.
I know lots of police officers, mostly Mounties, and most of them I know, as well as lots of others, are very helpful to people and will help people out in times of need.
The dinosaur sign - I pronounce "dinosaur" like you do, Tyler. Maybe she was saying it like Dino from the Flinstones. Anyway, the sign might be from Drumheller, Alberta, where there are large amounts of dinosaur fossils and is well known for that. I've heard that they have a lot of signage with dinosaurs on them.
Female moose don't grow antlers.
I agree with her that people not acknowledging a "thank-you" or grunting at it is rude. Just say "You're welcome" if you don't know what else to say.
Beer drinking is quite common among Canadians, and even those of us like me who don't drink at all are very proud of our national brands.
"Eh" isn't said by every Canadian, but a lot of us do. Not all the time, but we do say it. "Aboot" is definitely just a stereotype. She said that Canadians say "aboat," but not here in BC. We say "about" very much like those in Washington State and Oregon and northern California do.
The mountain she lived on in Burnaby isn't really in the wildnerness, although it's closer than most of the rest of Greater Vancouver.
Every part of Canada is different. Here in my town an hour or so east of Vancouver, things are different than in Vancouver.
I love Canadian money. The colours are so pretty, and I love our coins, especially the loonie and the toonie.
Kinder Surprise - she maybe forgot that Kinder is a brand from Europe - German, maybe? So it has German on it.
Sorry for the long comment! I just have a lot to say about my country. haha :)
Some of the things in the woman's video are just memes and aren't necessarily Canadian. They just happen to go along with Canadian stereotypes, and they are funny. :)
