Re: Canadian Road Rage. It's our passive/aggressive nature. Inside, that guy is saying, "There, you tool! I fixed it for you, cuz you were too lazy to do it properly!"
Snow on the car gets on the cars behind it while driving. That's dangerous. Sometimes, a big shunk can get of and can break the windshield of the car behind it. The faster you drive, the biggest the impact. So, to be respectful of other drivers and your own safety, you should always dust the snow of your car before hit the road.
Precisely
@@francinegravel6198 Trucks are the worst, then that 1 dumb butt that refuses to take the foot of snow off their car except the part of the windshield so they can see.
He's not sweeping his car off to be nice it's idiots who don't clean their windows off and drive blind are a hazard
Not to mention blowing snow on to the car's windshield behind him..
anyone know if doing that to someone elses car is legal?
@@ItsLemontreeI'm definitely not a lawyer, but I think to charge them you would have to be able to show intent. Specifically negative intent.
I Believe that in Ontario the Law is YOU MUST HAVE ALL THE CAR WINDOWS Cleaned, before you start to drive, I've seen one police pull over a car for unclear WINDOWS.
@@andynieuwenhuis7833 That's 100% true
As a Canadian, I literally SEE the rage in that man clearing the back window!!
The person driving that car had significantly reduced visibility and was therefore much more likely to cause an accident. That guy was rightfully pissed that he had to fix it.
I noticed the same thing, lol. He was so pissed. And yeah, I cannot understand why people won't just brush off there cars, especially the taillights.
@@mattandcandlewhy would you want to let someone know you're stopping on a slippery icy road and let them hit you doing 60km? It's none of their business. /s/
Exactly this. That video raised my blood pressure. 😂
@@KarstenJohansson and why is that 🤨 stuff cow
@@kathryndunn9142 Because if you're the one driving behind them, you're likely in a constant state of snowstorm as the flakes blow off, and constantly praying it doesn't all come off in one big sheet and completely block your view of traffic and the road.
"Starting to sweat at -40"... the joke is literally dying of hypothermia.
The Brits spell it "colourise", you guys use "colorize", and we glorious Canadians mash it up to be "colourize". A very good example of how we do most things up here, lol
Always ‘colour’ in Canada😊
I am Canadian and spell colourise the British way.
@@zoegignac9032 You're right, I've seen it go either way but tend to see the "Z" more. I prefer it with an "S", but who am I to judge
I've never thought about it before, but I think I usually spell it colourize lol
I pushed Queen's English hard whenever I was in school as a Newfoundlander. I always used the s instead of z, etc. Colourize actually gets corrected to colourise on my phone and computer, and the z usage looks wrong to me.
The Canadian standoff happens all the time. It usually ends with both people apologizing.
I had one just today! At a Tim's, no less. lol
The funny part is how a lot of places have a small entrance way between the inside and outside doors (somehow don't know how to make that clearer). So when someone holds the door for you, you end up having to go through and awkwardly hold the next door for them somehow.
@@mattandcandle it's called a vestibule
Bahaha so true
Husband almost came to blows with neighbour a few years back. During the shouting it can out they both liked poker and decided to start a game. They played twice monthly for over 30 years until my husband passed away.
the danger of sweating at -40c (-40f): That sweat will freeze, and you will die if you cant get out of there. the body heats itself when youre moving and working out (ie skiing, snowshoeing, hiking), and if you've overdressed you may start to sweat even in that extreme cold! So having layers can save your life. shedding the outermost ones while youre active and about, to prevent sweating, and able to return that layer once movement stops to prevent a chill. :3c
i enjoyed listening to him try to figure this out and totally missing because he has never experienced anything even close to this.
Also is a sign of hypothermia.
Yesvthis!
I usually ski in a T-shirt and snow pants in the winter, it gets hot when you move!
Survivorman taught us: 'You sweat, you die.'
Could also mean you're about to strip yourself naked... Check out Paradoxical Undressing
For extra accuracy, the canadian keyboard should have had all those extra keys for the accents in French words.
I have them on my keyboard.
It does. That little key at the bottom that says Fr.
@@paulinemundt438 Fn
Just make sure you buy a Canadian keyboard. Not one made in the US
@@paulinemundt438 What keyboard do you have? Mine is just Fn for function. Never seen one for Fr. I have to switch to the french layout to get that but those keys do not show on my keyboard. It is like a guessing game lol
It’s illegal to drive with your back window blocked.
Ya. It wasn't to be nice. It was to say "clean your f***n window"
Cleaning the window was done not just to be 'nice,' but because they can't use their rearview mirror. I'm sure the guy cleaning would have told them they should have done it themselves had the lazy driver made an issue about it.
@@aaaaaadasjfodsfdjfbdshifb No it doesn't. Snow comes off bit by bit and the cop has already nabbed you for not cleaning the windows $125fine. I had a Vega and the rear window defroster will NOT MELT SNOW,just the fog off the window from the inside. Get a panel van that has no rear window. You DEFINITELY WANT TO KNOW WHEN A COMMERCIAL TRUCK IS RIDING YOUR TAIL....ERGO the mirrors and the slow lane for sightseers. Truck drivers drive for a living.,,and you lose at "BUMPER CAR" EVERYTIME.
That cleaning the back window is sort of passive-aggressive it means hey now maybe you can see me lol
You'd be really surprised how much Canadians know about America.
I do wish Americans would stop saying Canadians spell things this way or that way........ the entire world spells it the way we do, it is just you guys who are different. Same with the metric system and healthcare, Canadians are not the odd duck you guys are.
Exactly, everyone else does things the right way. The USA does them the wrong way.
It is indeed a thing in Canada to change over to Winter tires. All season tires don't adhere well to cold asphalt and don't have the same big tread as winter tires to grip into snow. Around winter time here in Newfoundland, there's a mad rush to get tires changed over to wibter, and again back onto summer tires.
One of the most annoying/terrifying things about driving in winter is watching the cars zip by and the pile of snow on their roof/trunk just flying off as they go until there isn't enough cohesion anymore and the giant chunk flies right into your windshield. I wish more Canadians would clean off other people's cars like that (being safe and not disrupting traffic in the process).
Tyler, it's not that Canadians have a "U" in all those words, it's that you don't. The rest of English speaking countries have kept their hands off the language, except the U.S. who then went on to declare that the letter Zed should be called Zeee for some reason.
The road rage meme. A Canadian didn't write the 'message', the word favor gives it away. We Canadians do not spell it that way, our spelling is favour.
Cleaning the back window of the car... absolutely road rage, very passive aggressive, I approve. Also the SpongeBob meme... you missed the bottom left, the Canadian arm on the international space station.
As a Canadian, the person cleaning the car was definitely him silently saying "hey look I cleaned your car so now you can stop driving like a jackass" just completely passive aggressive
The guy's cleaning the car because he's ticked off.Because it is illegal to drive with your windows covered in snow. Also is the danger to other people. There's lots of snow accidents in the winter. Or he could just beat being nice. Sometimes after work if people leave at the same time they'll help each other clear their windows of snow. I'm in british columbia
Aardvark. If you sweat in -40 you will freeze like an ice cube the moment you stop being overheated. Remember, snow tires are made from a different type of rubber that stays soft when cold...summer tires will get hard lie a hockey puck when cold, so not only is there less tread but the rubber doesn't stick to the road surface.
The best time of the "Sorry" era was in the 2000s and our entire generation replaced Sorry with "My Bad" but still used it with the exact same frequency 😂
???😎 " my bad "is from an immigrant-American basketball player who couldn't speak English properly to apologize for a bad play.
@@TomHuston43 okay boomer. Don't you have roads to drive 10 under the speed limit down?
Dang millennials and their slang
Just like moving in July is a Quebec national sport so is getting snow tires and replacing them at the end of the snowy season. It’s a guessing game every year but usually April/ may is the time to put on your “ summer is coming tires”
Canadian Stand Off: when you and the other won’t give in, if you’re the one with the door in hand, you take a step back & look away indicating you are NOT going to give in. The other must now humbly pass through, bowing their head in defeat & gratitude.
Been there, done that, with & without the door. ❤
Canadian standoff is also what happens at 4 way stops.
Not if you know the rules of the road.
@@bunzeebear2973 true. I end up in them more times than I can count b/c I get so frustrated as I know the right of way but the other person…grrrr
I concur lmao
When you start to sweat at below freezing temperatures it means you're about to die of hypothermia because your body is no longer trying to regulate its temperature. 😓😰🥶
That is why we wear layers so you take it off when hot. Stripper music not required.
That's not exactly true. You can sweat due to exertion and if you're not careful the sweat will do it's job and suck the heat right out of you leading to hypothermia. The sweating itself is not always an indicator that you have hypothermia, but an indicator that you may be about to have hypothermia. The cause and effect relationship is backwards, sweating leads to hypothermia. You may be thinking of when you have hypothermia and stop shivering, that's a sign of extreme danger.
That's why it's important to dress in layers when in the cold. So as you warm up due to exertion you can shed layers to prevent sweating, then put them back on as your body cools down again.
Its dangerous to have your back window obstructed...especially snow
The starting to sweat at 40c meme is about how us canadians wear a thick winter jacket and it makes us to warm making our legs sweat and that's also why we wear shorts in "deathly cold weather"
-40°C=-40°F. It's the only temperature that is the same in both units. You're thinking of "The Rock". His father is Canadian, Mother of Samoan descent. Cheers 🇨🇦.
The word is Canadiana .
I came to find this comment. 👍
Dude you sweat a lot in the winter when clearing the driveway of snow..no matter the temperature 😂
Keanu Reeves's father was (is?) Hawaiian and his mother English. He was born in Lebanon, I believe. But he and his mother moved to Toronto when he was, like, 12, and Canadian citizenship is apparently the only citizenship he holds.
-40 is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
We are pleased and happy that he chooses to be Canadian, we are proud of him and his personality. Proud to have him as a fellow Canadian.
Thats one lazy Canuck not clearing his back window. If you do the front window you`ve got time to do the rear and side windows. But in his defence, I`ve driven many times with the same visibility, haha, just not fluffy dry snow like he had. More like a half inch of ice.
The guy that brushed it off is probably suuuuper pissed!
I was vacation in New Orleans about 7y ago. For the first time in like 100y, there was a snowfall warning, and it dropped to 0°C. It even snowed one day, and they closed down a street near the hostel I was staying at because there were 8 car accidents. Meanwhile, I'm standing outside with a thin sweater on smoking a cigarette.
Everyone always seemed stunned by it even after I told them I'm Canadian. Then they got scared when I was like, "This isn't bad. This is basically fall weather to me."
It's been miserably hot here in Alberta for the past couple of weeks, and I could use some 0C weather. Even just some rain would be nice.
@Shan_Dalamani It's been burning here in BC. Like 36-38°C. Supposed to get up to 40 in a couple days
Winter tires are Mandatory from like end of November till end of March. You can be fined for not having them.
Depends which province you're in. Not all provinces mandate it.
12:20 In BC there are highways that you're not allowed on between October and April if you don't have at least M+S (mud and snow) tires, or chains. Nobody is stopping you but, it's a ticketable offence and insurance won't cover you if something happens.
"Is this true??"
The definition of ingenuity is asking the same questions over and over and not bothering to read the answers...
Canada is not the only country that uses the letter U in words like colour.
Where I live, you can't drive on the main highways WITHOUT winter/ice tires or chains for semis. Too many cars in the ditch. Mostly from going too fast for the winter conditions, which is so sad.
When I got in my car after work today, the temp read 43C. Three days ago it read 44C.
We do not melt at negative any temp 😂
Favor ~ Favour
Neighbor ~ Neighbour
Color ~ Colour
Flavor ~ Flavour
And I'm sure that there are several other words to be compared.
Zee & Zed.
Canadian cultural references and history are usually called Canadiana.
Also yes, colourise is the proper King's English for the word. Your computer/Google language settings are set to American English and corrects it.
Exactly, and American English, just like American everything else is wrong.
Yes Tyler, I as a proud Canuck! have gotten out of my car at red lights to brush lazy people's rear windshield just as this fella did in the video. I am an older woman. The problem is snow will blow off and impede your vision.
Yes sir, nothing more annoying than spending 15 minutes cleaning your vehicle and having impeded vision due to other people's Crap blowing all over you. Or worse, getting hit with big chunks of solid snow one their windows warm up.
I think that map should be captioned "what Americans think the US looks like"
Canadians have a great sense of humour. 10:37 I laugh when I hear of the southern states shutting everything down with 1 inch of snow when we get 2 feet and still drive a 70 mph. And I would do this with regular tires. I only put winter tires on because the insurance is cheaper. 14:35 You forgot the gooses in the sky. The bomber squadron.
The entire English speaking world has a 'u' in colour and is the correct spelling, only the U.S. doesn't..
Tyler knows nothing about the "entire English-speaking world" except the USA.
8:24 I’m pretty sure it’s referencing when you begin dying of cold, you feel warm
In nova scotia this past winter we got snowed in like 7 feet of snow haha it was a mess
I am in South West Nova Scotia as well and we didn't get anything during that storm! Not a snowflakes, I couldn't believe it when I saw the news!!
@@angelinashankle75 ya I'm in cape breton lol
😂We are taught in Geography ALL of the States and Capital Cities!
I remeber having to name all States and their Captial's during grade school.
They don't do it anymore. It was gone by the time I went through (I'm 40). I learned them on my own time.
Graduated in ‘78 and pretty sure it was still a major part of the curriculum 🤔 I do know for me it was Fall of ‘78 that they introduced the Metric System. Where I went anyway in Ontario
@@macgyveriii2818 I'm a touch older. My kids and I sometimes run through the alphabet and alternate between state and city names that match the letter. That sounds pretty silly after typing it out.
I was never taught that but my curiosity itself compelled me to learn. You know like a curiosity to learn about your NEIGHBOUR! Americans gotta broaden their horizons.
10:40 that's how most Canadians view the Vancouver and Victoria attitude towards snow. I saw a newspaper cartoon depicting Vancouver drivers panicking and causing absolute havoc over one tiny snowflake; The South Coast of BC pretty much shuts down with very little snowfall. To be fair, snow on the coast is quite slushy and can quickly turn to ice when it freezes overnight; that’s why we pre-salt and pre-brine the streets (even at 8C, because rain and other moisture can freeze overnight when temps drop.)
Southern B.C. or B.C. interior regions it is just another day. Snow tires were put on a week in advance.Just because 1/2' of snow can turn into 4 feet of snow by the end of the day. You do not want to have summer tires on...or you park the car and walk home...especially if the sanding trucks and snow plows have not been there yet. Snow can be around for 3 months.
Canadian here! I've been binging your videos, I love how positive you are about everything you are great to watch :).
In Québec, your vehicle must have winter tires from December 1st until March 15th. However, since spring conditions can be variable, it is recommended that you wait a few weeks after the end of this period before installing your all-season tires or your summer tires.
I'm pretty sure.It's requirement in all provinces.This is true British columbia as well.
@@personincognito3989 Not all. Ontario does not force winter tires. It's highly recommended, but there's no law requiring it.
@@personincognito3989It's a law requirement since 2008 in Québec.
I've had neighbours clean snow off my car before I even went out to go to work in the morning. That builds community!
Tyler still doesn't realize that American Google gives him different results based on where he lives... How does someone spend their life on the internet and still can't use Google... ???
Different results? I did not know that.
11:24 don’t worry, for about 3 days after it snows, everyone forgets how to drive up here.
Snow on your car can blow off and land on the car behind you, blinding them.
They have wipers for the front window. OR>>>They should not follow so close. Both work.
You clean the idiots car so he does blind you or even break your windshield with a chunk of ice.

When I was much much younger and living in Toronto, Keanu Reeves once appeared in the Toronto Sun newspaper as their shirtless Sunshine Boy. I remember because I saved the newspaper clipping. This was somewhat before he became a household name, but at least I can confirm Mr. Reeves was living somewhere in the Toronto Area at the time and Canadian.
In grade school we had to study all the US states; their capitals, and their main sources of income. We also had to study which were the New England States, North Eastern States, and so on. Then we had to do an indepth project on a state of our choice. I was fortunate as I had a cousin who lived in Michigan.
Exactly. Canadian kids study America in depth. That map meme was just ignorant
There's a crossover for Canadian road rage and when you accidently switch your keyboard to French Canadian....
I live in a province where winter is ~5 months out of the year... somehow EVERY YEAR during the first snow fall, everyone forgets how to drive. Same thing happens after false spring ends
8:22 i’m pretty sure the joke is hypothermia lol
Winter tires are usually put on between October and January. You have to drive more cautious, a lot of people hit the ditch. When there is a van line up at the workplace’s door to pick up a friend,it takes 2x
as long, to meet the person at the door.
In March it,starts melting,but we get the odd weekend snowfall, which makes driving a hazard, and more snow drifts,making people call in to miss work. There are about 5 snow days and 8 sick days.
Busses call in for school to not pick up students. During Covid,you could do classes on FaceTime.

When it was time for me to learn to drive my mom insisted I had to do my driving lessons during the winter, so I could learn snow driving skills right from the start.
There are many areas in Canada where you can be ticketed if you don't have winter tires on during certain months of the year (or what's more common is that your insurance is void if you get in an accident).
😯
Yeah, it varies from province to province. Not all provinces mandate winter tires though, so can get away with it in some places.
Too many states to remember hard enough to remember all of ours lol 😂
To be fair, if snow is rare where you live, then it probably comes with freezing rain that turns your streets into skating rinks. On top of that your car won’t have winter tires and your city won’t have sanding / salting trucks. That IS apocalyptic. There is a reason the number of car accidents increases after the first snow of winter until Canadians get used to winter driving again.
If you perform physical labour (even in extreme cold temperatures) your body will start to sweat. When the sweat starts pulling heat from your body at -40c... you are, indeed, in danger. And at a Canadian spelling-bee; if in doubt, throw in a 'U' for good measure, moniseur.
Canadians put a 'U' in many of our words.
Colour, neighbour, arbour, behaviour, favour, fervour, habour, humour, labour, smoulder, and on and on.
In some provinces winter tires re mandatory..
Arthur was an Aardvark, he had a longer nose originally but was received poorly so they rounded his face and the show took off.
Winter tires must be installed before a certain date in December... it's the law in Canada!
Or you get a ticket In Quebec.
Actually it differs by province. Ontario, for example, has no law requiring snow tires at all and you can go all winter without them if you want.
All seasons tires! BF Goodrich radial TAs! I had those on my 325 horsepower Mustang, and that thing went through the snow " pro"!
when you drive around with snow on the backwindow youre a dufus
The guy cleaning the snow off the car was probably not doing it to be nice. He was was probably thinking look at that idiot that was to lazy to clean off his car. It's a safety issue and against the law not to have your car completely cleaned off. Even if your license plate can't be seen clearly because of snow or other reasons it's a fine. snow blows off your car and onto other cars blinding them or obstructing your view but the worst is probably when people don't clean the roof of there car after a storm. I think the fine is written as an unsecure load believe it or not. Sorry but sometimes videos don't always show what people are thinking or there reasoning.
I love how Tyler doesn't actually understand most of these memes, yet he fake laughs at every one of them just the same.
Tyler laughs at everything, especially his own observations.
winter tires are actually mandatory in some provinces, such as in Quebec where you must have them on from Dec 1st to March 15th...
The first one is sort of a reference to the Stanley Cup playoffs which frequently end in violent riots. The one with the frustrated fellow sweeping snow off the back window of a car is also real, poor visibility is how you end up in accidents. The one about sweating in -40 is something all Canadian kids are taught about as it does get that cold in most of the country in winter and if you sweat when it's that cold, you are going to die of hypothermia once that sweat freezes, you might as well have fallen into a frozen lake.
A lot of Canadians don’t use winter tires...we do now...well worth it!
Tyler, I live in BC and you have to have either winter tires or chains from October 1st to April 1st to drive on the highways. You could get a ticket if you don't. The other year it snowed April 1st. And it has definitely snowed in October where I live too
The meme about the Canadian getting out to wipe the snow off the back of the car's window is because the Canadian is pissed he's driving around not being able to see out of it
5:43 dying at this one because I don't even know my own map so if you think I know yours you're mistaken 😂😂
12:15 winter tires are mandatory by law in Canada from November or December until March I believe. You can get a huge fine for driving with summer tires or even 4 seasons tires as you're a danger to everyone. You need certified winter tires identifiable by the snowflake on the tire. It's also prohibited to drive a motorcycle during this period, so on the first day you can take out your motorcycle, you see A LOT of them on the roads
There are definitely some Canadians that sweat in the negative C temperatures. My landlord last year took a leaf blower outside in the middle of a blizzard to blow odd the sidewalks. He was in a tshirt, suspenders and shorts..
In the Canada taking over the world meme, did anyone notice the Canadian geese flying in the sky!! Lol, there should have been beavers building assault bridges to advance land troops!! Lol😂
thank you ! so delightful you took away my headache !
-40°C is -40°F, in case anyone was curious. It's so cold, both countries agree is darn cold.
I used to work nightshift in a kitchen. Wouldn't you know it, the week when we were having our freezer redone, that week all had -40 and below temperatures. We got in an outside freezer in during the reno.
A couple nights in, I got used to the cold and inside the kitchen seemed like Arizona.🥵
The Canadian road rager was mad they were dumb and lazy and didn’t clean their back window to make sure they can see and drive safely so in classic Canadian fashion he passive aggressively does it for him 😂
😂Hey Tyler, lemme explain the Ralph Wiggum meme. It's not because we have a superhuman resistance to the cold.
If you sweat in your winter gear (maybe you're working really hard to collect firewood or had an intense snowball fight) while outside in the dead of winter, you're at an increased risk of hypothermia once your heart rate and blood pressure return to normal. Ergo, Ralph is "in danger" of catching hypothermia.
Anyone who does lengthy outdoor activities in winter conditions knows to wear multiple layers (switching from moisture wicking to insulating), and to avoid overheating to the point of transpiration
Just to let you know as a Canadian we are not cleaning the snow out of being nice, we are being passive aggressive about the person driving with that much snow can not possibly see out of the rear view
For -40 degree you don't need to specify because -40C = -40F it is the point where two are the same
for winter tires, it is mandatory during the cold season.
Not in Ontario. Can you imagine Windsor being told to put them on? Windsor is more south than some California cities.
@@teamsaunz Yeah, all of southern Ontario can get away with no winters easily. Any time it does snow, it's cleared out within hours and never an issue. I still use them as I drive around some more rural roads sometimes or get caught out in blizzards and like the peace of mind, but if you never leave the city, you don't need them.
“Americana” = “Canadiana” 😊
It says you’re all petrified of each other!!!!
12:16
At least here in Quebec, we are required by law to switch to winter tires before december 15th and can only remove them after april 15th
15:46 I much prefer the fact that we use "u" in so many words like it kills my linguistics brain to see flavor or color or vigor like it's flavour or colour or vigour 😭😭
In grade 3, our teacher asked us to name every state in the USA. It took us about a month to complete the list.

About the robber meme. The chief of police from Toronto advice the population to leave Their Keys in there house lock so robber wouldn't break something to get in.
