    A friend of ours was telling us about the time when she and her husband travelled to the southern states because of his job. They were sitting in a restaurant and told their American dinner companions that they had arrived by dog sled. This was in the summer. When they told them that the Americans got up and went to the window to look at the dogs and the sled in the parking lot. True story--not joking!

      😂…that must have been hilarious. I’m from Saskatchewan and moved to Toronto for a few years after high school in the 1990’s. And one day an somewhat annoying coworker asked me about living in Saskatchewan.
      So I told her the differences between Ontario and Saskatchewan were amazing and shocking to me. Because in Saskatchewan the winters are 8 months long and so cold that we have to live in igloos like the Inuit, and have no paved roads or electricity. But after seeing real houses and buildings I hoped some day Saskatchewan would too.
      I didn’t think she believed me and forgot about it. Then about a month later she came into work in huff 😤 telling me she watched a show about Saskatchewan and it showed we did have City’s, houses, roads and electricity!! 😂

"oh you're all developmentally delayed? You can find the bright side in anything, there's always something to celebrate." Very wholesome.
    And in that bit about Hull, so many were just like "Oh well if it offends someone (even if it's someone I've never heard of or will ever see), I won't say it again."

      The Canadian province is functionally identical to the US state. It's really stupid to assume that an american doesn't know that canada uses the term province just because this reporter used the word state. The bits are really just clever tricks of language and editing to make the person they're interviewing look stupid. It's a really lame formula for man on the street comedy and easy for someone without a 2 digit IQ to see how Rick is tricking these people - it's really easy to manipulate and intimidate people into saying stupid shit when you present yourself as an authority and lie to them.

They stopped teaching interest rates, budgeting, baking, canning, sewing, true canadian history, canadian geography or all our provinces and territories as well as political leaders. We need an educational overhaul in Canada and stop letting the school boards and teachers decide what should be taught.

    Anytime I meet or deal with a chest pounding American telling me how great their education system is, (living in a tourist area and working in education it happens more than you'd expect), I've told them they have to look up this special and then enjoy the embarrassment.

      Most people have a general idea about the country's neighbouring them and could answer questions. Americans, atleast a good portion of them, have a 3rd world awareness of anything beyond their border. That is to say, nothing really exists beyond their border, so their knowledge is comparatively pretty bad.

    We sure do have a lot more stupid sheeple in America than I thought!!! Now that one little boy shows that there is some hope for our future. But then again this would NOT be as funny if they left us smarter people in the video. I think is was Jay Leno or someone like that, use to do the same thing by asking people simple questions and they just had no clue.

    I grew up in Saskatchewan. I remember my father and I were visiting Idaho a decade ago travelling through the United States on a family camping trip, and we had to stop for gas. While paying for gas, my father got talking with the store owner, who asked us where we were from. When we said Saskatchewan, he goes "Oh, near that big ski hill."
