- Are you aware of the many funny differences between Canadians and Americans? Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE our Canadian friends, but the truth is we are hilariously different! These are 25 funny differences between Canadians and Americans.
Being different is not a bad thing. But it’s still interesting to see just how different two neighboring countries can be. Check out these funny difference between Canadians and Americans (and our photo credits and sources) and don’t forget to leave a comment on the video letting us know of any other differences you guys are aware of:

When we said Canadians and Americans were different, we were not joking. For example, did you know Canada has two official languages (English and French)? Guess how many official languages America has. If you enjoy Pandora and Spotify, don’t go to Canada. Licensing restrictions will prevent you from enjoying them. Also, Americans are more confrontational than Canadians. Again, these differences are not necessarily a bad thing, just a different way of viewing things such as government. Canadians tend to trust their government more than Americans trust theirs (then again, can you blame us). Get ready because we are about to share with you 25 funny differences between Canadians and Americans.

list25 Canadians say aboot instead of about
or most atleast
11 is wrong. We have Spotify in Canada but not Pandora.
Also for 2, I can shop online fine so idk. I've never encountered a store without a website.
list25 you said usa have best flag seriously england as better
Well, no, we said "no one beats America in flags" referring to the love of its flag. Not flag design. - Juan
We have Spotify in Canada man

Be nice to Colin. He can't help that he's "special". He's an American.
oobaka1967 Watch yourself. Just a friendly reminder.
JayAxOrion y'a i was aboot tooooo saaaaaaay thaaat toooooo
He said Canadians don't get to enjoy Spotify and Pandora due to licensing restrictions. That was the basis of Jay's comment.

Clearly put together by an American that hasn't spent much time in Canada.
crocdoc2 Lmao I was just thinking before I clicked on this video, “This is a very American way to look at it.” I knew some one was gonna say something. (Especially because these gentlemen are from Florida. That’s about as far away as the US gets from Canada, not counting US territories.)
I agree, most of the time I was thinking uhmm...no? Review your facts.
Agreed
They got a lot wrong about Canada. 2017 and Canada didn't have Spotify? Cdn stores didn't have an online presence? WTF? The list of stuff he got wrong renders this list worthless.
Or someone (an American) who hasn't really done much research, just stating his opinions and misconceptions of Canadians (perhaps based on a few months of exposure to a Canadian student?).
the biggest difference: *GUN LAWS*
NeInE 670 that’s not true, US gun law is different state to state, Canada is federal level and Canadian do have guns, u can legally buy AR15 in Canada
@@ShakeMyHeart1 but no one does. Or if they do by some chance thr not shooting up schools.
bobby ruest dude that’s every province west of Nova Scotia and East of Manitoba
Canada has a way more straight forward gun law
I am Canadian, I own hand guns, shotguns, and high powered rifles. We cannot buy fully automatic firearms and neither can most Americans because they are to dam expensive!!!
I'm from Quebec and I can't be the only one who laughed when he said " except Quebec, Canada's Texas" 😂😂😂
You weren't. I was waiting for him to single out Quebec at least once in this video.
Yeah, he doesn't know what he is talking about. It's clear to any Canadians that Alberta is the Texas of Canada. Not Quebec
Where my Canadian bros?

Uhh, you forgot that Canada has universal health care and gun control laws.
@@jerrytheracecardriver1100 so you'd only "storm the parliament" when you have guns.. taugh guy eh? Sit tf down 🤦🏻♂️
@@jerrytheracecardriver1100 ...
I'm pretty sure that's not happening anytime lol. Plus, gun control is needed for public safety. I personally am neutral when it comes to Trudeau, I don't disagree or agree with his way of running Canada. But still, storming the Parliament isn't going to happen anytime soon xD
We do but we can still own all kinds of rifles AND handguns legally. Now transport laws and being able to own restricted firearms in Canada is more strict, we can still buy and own legally some nice firearms.
Go deeper man. He covered that in the very first point. "Canadians tend to trust authority, Americans tend to be suspicious of it." Government being in control of health care and regulating firearms are manifestations of being suspicious of authority. Personality, and I say this as an American, I think they take it to a bit of a paranoid extreme, and support left of center policy, but this is the root of the difference.
That wasn't necessarily forgotten. health care and gun control are heavy leftist policies and I believe he did say that they lean farther to the the left. Also that they trust their government more, which is also a liberal thing as left wing typically desires more government control. In America, gun control would be a terrible thing, but in Canada the people are nicer and the only danger is polar bears, which I've heard guns don't work well on them
This video was obviously put together by and American who doesn’t know much about Canada
He should be sorry
He doesn't get a paycheque soo--
*paycheck
paycheque is right
@@xoixedd7530 no its paycheck
It's not that Americans only hate their government, they just tend to distrust governments in general. Even the founding fathers agreed that all government is inherently corrupt
Hot Cosby yeah, the power should be in the people, not a government. power goes to peoples heads and that's why there are so many corrupt people in them. if the people don't take control, we get things like "gun bans" and other things to control the freedom of the people. recently with what's going on in the government freedom has turned into an illusion. it's a hard thing to balance but governments and countries will end up collapsing on themselves due to power struggles.
Hot Cosby do you thing then in canada we trust our government if yes your stupid nobody in the world trust government its a fucking fact
Corrupt government vs corrupt people. No wonder it's such a huge polarized debate.
Hot Cosby One of the reasons why many people distrust the government is that they don't really have say to what the government will do, the only choice they have really is to pick which the person could be hiding something, and the ones to stop them are the ones in goverment, so it does make sense.
Hot Cosby and they hate everyone in general and equally lol
He left out the fact that Canada uses the metric system, whereas the USA does not.
David Harrison
Meters - Canada
Inch - America
Fahrenheit, am I right? 😏...I’m sorry 😅😂
the three countries which are not using the metric system are Liberia, Myanmar and of course… the United States of America.
Then explain 2 litre bottles! Lol
Prepperjon... easy... the companies (in the US) that produce their product in 2litre bottles, its because they also export out of the US. As far as their exports go, the quantity staying within the US is the minority. So, the American companies choose to not have an “American size” gallon containers and an “everywhere else” litre containers, forcing Americans to get a taste of the rest of the worlds perspective...
(Oddly, for me, I use both metric and imperial... I read a tape measure in feet and inches, Im 6’2”, I have no clue how many metres or centimetres or millimetres tall I am!
In Canadian football, its measured in yards, not metres, just like NFL. )
Canada is an awesome country filled with a lot of wonderful people.
David J besides our pm, that is.
South -- I've not thought highly of the Trudeau's even though I am American.
Full of immigrant who diserve to be deported
@@marcopoulin1897 was that a joke or an offence???
@@jerrytheracecardriver1100 just go back to Europe with your dead grandparents goddamnit
Canadians believe that universal
health care is a right not a commodity
Health is about lifestyle. How you live every day. Big Pharrma* has hijacked healthcare world-wide.
And that’s why our healthcare is shit here in Canada.
@@Faceless_XIV Try your luck in captialism health care down south if you want to see "shit" outcomes
@@witheringi9492 try paying 51% income tax and 12.5% sales tax to pay for others health care. Then wait 6 months for an operation. Try again.
@@Faceless_XIV 6 years ago I had to have by pass surgery. I waited 10 days. Finally cost? 10 bucks for the phone. My wife nor myself do not play anything like 51% imcome tax. The wait now will be longer because of covid obviously. I don't mind paying for others to have health care because I'm not a selfish bastard. Go south and enjoy the tender mercies of private health care-unless of course your employer doesn't have it, or you have pre extisting conditions or your unemployed or self employed. And of course the deductibles -and even then you are not guaranteed to get timely treatment. We have private dental care-my care is rationed according to the whims of the company with a yearly limit on all procedures. One root canal uses the entire plan and I'm on the hook for the rest. I would hate to have my health care run like dental insurance. Maybe you do since you obviously think of nobody else but yourself. Canada is not a good fit for you. Go somewhere else where self centredness is admired-like Trumpland USA.
I think you have thing backwards for 3. We Canadians think we're culturally similar to America while Americans think we live in Igloos.
Lmao so true,
Trenton Pottruff I don't think y'all live in igloos
Trenton Pottruff WWHHHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTTTTT???!??! You don't live in igloos?!
I think that's just a Canadian trope that they think we live in igloos but I do agree. We are far more informed with the life of Americans than they are of us.
I’m American and never thought that. I’ve even been to Canada a few times. I went to Toronto just this past summer and, even though I never thought that, it’s definitely not true.
Us Canadians love our USA brothers and sisters. Now I have to sit in my igloo and turn on the TV to watch hockey with a bottle of maple syrup before the polar bears steals it. :) haha
Lightsaber Addict Haha, I live in Ontario, while shoveling my driveway with my red and white shovel this morning a friendly beaver came and offered me a poutine!
Damn, Bob, that would be my dream
Maria Mort Yes, the beaver and I are friends now, I named him Denim.
Bob Last Name That's awesome. I also live in Ontario. Beavers never brought me poutine yet, though. :(
Lightsaber Addict I'm sure one will soon, unfortunately my igloo melted due to the intense heat of -20 degrees.
11 is wrong, we have Spotify in Canada. It's my baby.
Trenton Pottruff same dude
Trenton Pottruff same
Trenton Pottruff same
I use play music from google
Yes we have spotify it's great
American: confidently talks about another country incorrectly
Canadian: shrugs passive aggressively
Yeah
Exactly
The rest of the world like Canadians
@Ankamtilnei Bekungbul well I certainly like Canada as country...
Not a Canadian btw. FYI.
And you are definitely a shithole of a person for talking like that about Muslims and gay people.
2019!!!!!
Wake the fuck up from your clouds of hate.
And change your fucking perspective about the world.
Being a teenager I just want more people to be empathetic and caring and kind...
So that I don't have to live in messed up world.
Or have to clean up mess of people older than me.. so that my future kids would atlest have a better one.
Before commenting something like that take in consideration that people get hurt by your remarks even if you are fucking nobody stranger. And they don't just have to be Muslims or Gay's.
@@MinMin-oe5od You are so right.
True, that's true
@@MinMin-oe5od Nice job my fellow Canadian!!!
@@LiberateAlberta1907 haha..
Thank you. But I'm not a Canadian.
Here in Canada we have Spotify....what the heck.
Usa: kick out immigrant
Canada: welcome immigrant
unfortunately
An inmigrants just want to live on easy street thanks to the canadian government.
Isn't that a bit harsh guys?
Jeez y’all are being rude some immigrants actually make Canada a better place like I see some immigrant teaching kids yoga and that is a really good thing so why be so harsh some of them came for good reasons
@@rogerzimet I come from a family of refugees from South Sudan, what you said is literally sickening. My parents tried their damn hardest to make a living here and become financially stable, even starting their own small company and working as a nurse, we have not once purposely lived off government, sorry for commenting on an old comment but seriously, what the literal hell is wrong with you. I'm sincerely hoping I got r/wooooshed real hard rn
Excusez-moi, the Canadian version of Texas is Alberta.
Amen to that!
Im an albertan and thats basically kinda true.
Steve Royer Alberta is boring tho
Texas doesn't look that exciting either.
As an American who has lived in Texas, but now lives in Alberta, I'm going to say that Alberta is kiiiinda like Texas with respect to the oil industry and "country cowboy" mentality. Quebec is also kinda like Texas because much like in Texas, québécois view their province more independently from the rest of Canada while proud Texans will tell you that Texas comes first before the rest of the US.
Number 11 is false. I live in Canada and we have both.
It's me SEP true dat
It's me SEP that's exactly what I was thinking
Number 2 is false as well
It's me SEP yeah me too and I love spodify
It's me SEP Yeah Spotify is my life
... where did you even hear number eleven?
Literally everyone I know has Spotify.
I don't know where or when he heard it, nor what rock he's been living under for a century, but it isn't uncommon to hear a Spotify ad while your watching a video on UA-cam....heck, I got a Spotify ad during this video!
As a Canadian I do not like this list. Some things are right, but others are either wrong or explained badly. Sorry
Most of the stuff he said is just bs. Should've consulted a Canadian before making this video..
A lot of people that make list like this are Americans that know just a little is about their country as the do ours
Agreed. So many things on this list are so far off. It came across like they are biased and generally misinformed
"or apologize"
As a canadian i would like to appologize for this man
as an american living in michigan, i have spent a lot of time in canada.i love it there! differences abound, but my favorite is how nicely i'm treated by virtually every person i meet. i can't wait til the covid is vanquished, so that i may visit again.also i believe america would not have it so good, without such an excellent neighbor to the north. peace!
we have Spotify in Canada duh
Raymers IDK In America we also have Spotify
Raymers IDK вы говорите по русски?

26: Kinder Eggs are legal in Canada.
Its illegal in the us !!!!!!!!
@@dandebenham4257 no shit sherlock
And guns are legal in USA
You can't buy a Kinder egg, but you can buy lethality in a pistol
@jess'_' the chocolate eggs are not, there is however no toy inside like in Europe and Canada. They give you a bag with the toy in it separately
As a Canadian, I have to disagree with some of what was said. firstly, in this video, many generalizations were made, with both countries, that are not entirely true. Canada is a mosaic of cultures, but they aren't separated, they are mixed in many different ways, but are also celebrated as individual. also, individuality is highly celebrated, but there is simply not as much of an emphasis on it. I do not know what its like in america, but i'm sure many of the same things can be said. One final thing, canadians don't talk about american politics as a pastime, we use it as the but of our jokes. ; ) :) ;)
oh, and also, Canadians don't bottle up our emotions. not really ever. yet another large scale generalization that applies only to a select few.
P.S. we have spotify
I’m Canadian I have Spotify. We all have Spotify. I don’t think I know a single person who doesn’t use Spotify
Get out more and meet more people
youtube music :)
I don’t use it. If I’m not in the car listening to D.C.’s number one hit music station(99.5), I’m listening to songs on UA-cam.
"Mayonnaise on everything.....Canadians, they live among us".....LOL, we can't joke all day until the sun goes down, but I couldn't think of better neighbors than the Canadians. We Americans benefit in so many ways from our Canadian brethren, probably more than they do from us. Most millennials probably couldn't tell you what NORAD is, or where most of the lumber to build American homes comes from. Canada bent over backwards on 911 to help get all our aircraft on the ground, and took care of our stranded citizens. The US-Canada border is only an imaginary line on the map the whole world should be jealous of.
It's Americans like you than keep us from writing off the whole country;)
We don;t put mayo on everything. That's England. Typical uneducated misinformed American.
I merely quoted a line from the movie "Canadian Bacon". You know full well I don't take those stereotypes seriously. Evidently you didn't read all of what I posted, which is pretty much an homage to our Canadian neighbors. For God's sake lighten up.
ive said it before, ill say it again. we are family, and family does nothing but piss each other off most the time. don't mean we don't love each other, and always got each others backs!
one funny thing is, I'm Canadian and I watched the us election and know there government and talk about it a lot, but no one ever talks about Canadian government that I can tell.
can confirm. didnt even hear about your last election. ive heard more about the UK snap election
Joseph Fox yea the uk had the election during finals so collage and uni kids couldn't vote
Amarican politics are a meme at this point
Tori Lewis true only in schools
Tori Lewis yes we do!! didn't u just vote to leave the EU or something?
Shoes off in the house...BAM!
This is our secret screening test😆
I thought you said screaming test, till I reread the comment.
Not sure why you think we can't order online here. Have been doing it for years and we also have Spotify.
Dude this list is terrible!
As an outsider I can point out that Canadians actually realise there is other countries out there... Americans seem to believe that they are the only country on Earth.
Christopher Greig no we acknowledge that one aisian country that makes our stuff the friendly people who give us oil the other aisian country that wants to nuke us and that lage communist country that hates us. (note this is a joke, I'm not trying to be racist it's a joke so any social justice warrior who attacks me, get a sense of humor that isn't laughing at the people you screwed over by acting offended)
really there are other countries?
before you get mad IT WAS A JOKE
Christopher Greig no
holy shit i thought the soviet union nuked the whole world but mexico and united states i never heard of canada
that is a very annoying stereotype I am a American I can map most of Europe and Asia
In Canadian geography classes we have to know all.of Canada's provinces, territories and capitals plus we have to memorize all 50 American states in about a week. Half the people I talk to in the USA know like 3 Canadian cities, maybe
I once said I was from New Brunswick and an American (some random person I was talking with at Legoland, I’m going to assume that they were from Florida) went “Oh really? European countries are so cool!”
I literally had a Maple leaf on my shirt. Like come on. I get if they don’t know NB, but saying it was a European country? Really?
What province did you grow up in seriously never had to memorize the states.
Yup. I suspect most Americans think Toronto is Canada's capital.
No spotify? I've had it for free 3 yrs now as a perk on my mobile account. I live in British Columbia. Also nobody here ever brags about the cold. Rarely snows here. Doesn't rain for 4 months in the summer. Kinda like California.
We like to rub it in on the rest of the country. And alot of the US
too.
Also on a side note, I have never heard any Canadian ever say "aboot". Only americans attempting to mock us say that.
Sammmeee it’s literally in between Cali and Oregon/Washington weather wise too!
Where I live in California there is no snow but lots of rain
Yeah I’ve never heard someone say *aboot*
Southern Albertan here, yeah. I don't have a clue why "Aboot" even came to be a stereotype for all of Canada, but I've only heard it in a small amount of places in the east.
Actually there is one Canadian UA-camr who does say aboot and it drives me insane every time I hear it
Everyone is assigned a polar bear at 16 that we train with to ride into battle on.
Capn Genie so false I live in Canada and what Americans think we live in the arctic when we don’t we almost have the same weather as u guys
Alina Elzanaty I'm Canadian. I want them to think we have have killer polar bears. Just in case, ya know?
Capn Genie ya know in case anyone has any ideas 😂😂
Capn Genie LOL
Ha !
;-)
Does anyone else notice that he starts every point with "Canadians"
have you noticed that almost every point about Canada is negative?
as a Canadian i have no bond or loyalty to the british crown.
Nor do the British. Ironically Americans tend to pay more attention to them
We think about the british or Canadians bro we know you all exist you guys just never slip our minds we do think about Britain more though
jake jones you would think being the queen of so many places would earn you the title empress
Over glorified celebrities....
johnny dark ya kinda do. like here in the USA we have
1 president love him or hate him, he's our president. respect the office...not the person.
Boston tea party was the begining of the revolitionary war...1775. Not 1812
thetick64 What doe the Boston Tea Party have to do with this video ? And you're wrong it was in Boston Massachusetts in Dec. 16 of 1773 and it. Was about taxation without representation ! Three years later we were a free nation, President George Washington served his Presidency in Fort Valley Forge because the White House was not built yet ! And there was no such thing as Democrats or Republicans they were Federalists, religion Mason's ...anything you'd like to learn about lol just kidding...
/whoosh
Thats what I thought
On August 24, 1814, after defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg, a British force led by Major General Robert Ross burned down multiple buildings, including the White House (then called the Presidential Mansion), the Capitol building, as well as other facilities of the U.S. government.
I live in Toronto I thought it was normal to have baged milk
Its is but its not. Its not "normal" to drink another mammal's milk. Almond milk has 4 times the calcium and is better for you
k hanna not to mention it tastes better
k hanna and isnt milk.
Cows milk isn't your milk - its for calves. Its not meant for us
We have milk in bags in the USA
Ok most of these Canadian “facts” are wrong.
1
We have Spotify in Canada.
Indrid Cold Spotify is like a music library
It is not as "free" as in the US. Do YOUR research.
Drowning Utopia that was not the point made in the video
number 11 is false cuz we can use Spotify (I live in Canada)
The one about Canadians being into American politics is totally true lol
well we don't have a messed up government which means it is less entertaining, we are into US politics because one it is like a comedy show and two we don't get harmed as much as the Americans do.
Indeed
Reese is Random
As a person who lives In America, I can see why, our government in like a joke and an amazing comedy show 😂😂
Arash Khazaie Yeah Donald Trump is wack😂 I’m American and love my country but I get what you saying.
@@ArashK9 As an American, I can't argue with what you said. Down here everything has been politicized, at least in recent years. As a young child(71 now) the presidents I first remembered were named Eisenhower and Kennedy, and things seemed to work much better. For example country was united on finding a polio vaccine, as opposed to politicizing it like were doing with COVID.
Quick note, I'm not sure about pandora but we have spotify and online shopping pretty much the same ( we basically have all the same stores ).
Gabriel Belzile I think you guys don't have Aeropostale anymore.
it's me girly girl Yeah, haven't heard of it so probably not.
We used to, but I never shopped there, so I don't know if there are any left, I do remember closing out sales a couple years back at a couple of malls.
Gabriel Belzile Vous avez parfaitement raison !
I think the difference is most of our online shopping with with companies that originated in America. We have online shopping but not a great deal of the companies that offer it started out as Canadian companies.
Coming from a Canadian, it hurts knowing that a lot of these "facts" about Canada are wrong, even in 2017
I think about Canada all the time! I love Canada like a brother to our US!
It's like the biggest and most peaceful brothership ever. If the US gets attacked, its allies, including Canada will fight back, and if anybody lays a finger on Canada, the US (and allies) will cream the attackers.
PIE ww3 would start if Canada was attacked
Levi Godwin and this Canadian has much love and respect for my American brothers and sisters.... I grew up on the Saskatchewan/North Dakota border and actually married a woman from Alabama... She's a crazy bitch and we're divorced now, but I still love y'all. :)
I think about Canada all the time? Dude, you need to get a life!
You should just educate yourself on the culture and products we exchange with Canada. GG
We have Spotify in Canada. That one is a lie
Americans have an orange has a leader
No he's a creamsicle, orange on the outside white on the inside
We do have Spotify and pandora. And most stores in Canada have online shopping
Lived in Canada my entire life and have never seen "milk in a bag". We do have Pandora and Spotify, and we can order products online from Canadian and international companies. Some websites just do not ship to Canada, which is absolutely frustrating. And in western Canada, it's common for people to take their shoes off inside. Leaving them on would be weird/rude in fact
The bag milk is an easter Canada idea, mostly Ontario and Quebec. It's also an idiotic idea imo.
I heard bags of milk are only on the Eastern side, like Quebec. You might be living on the western side, like Alberta or British Columbia.
@@WupsYipee I have lived in British Columbia my entire life
@@WupsYipee yeah I have since learned it is more of an eastern Canadian thing. Still a bit strange to me though haha.
Milk came in bags when I lived in Montreal in the 60s. It was a PIA. In Alberta where I now live it comes in cartons, glass bottle, and plastic containers.

So, Canada doesn't have 5 main parties that are less polarized than ours? That's a shame.
bewasome awsome
I did say "most."
I wonder where my spotify went.
Do more research you got most things wrong 🤦🏻♀️
This video just proves how little Americans know about Canada 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's the truth! Americans barely know anything about Canada. You Americans all think Canada gets blizzards and snow 365 days a year. You Americans think all we do is drink maple syrup. You Americans think us canadians are so ignorant up here! 90% of this video is true and you don't realize this. The only thing wrong about this video is us Canadians hate our leader. This video is saying we don't.
PROUD TO BE CANADIAN! Your leader is not as bad as ours 😂😂
@@southsider1973 You are dead wrong. Id rather have trump than mister hairy man.
@@LiberateAlberta1907 Corrections:
1) People from the border states know more about Canada than the rest of the USA. Probably because the CBC is obtainable with an antenna (e.g. channel 9 out of Windsor). Plus we visit more often (primarily to celebrate someone's 19th birthday), albeit not as much now that passports (cards) are required for reentry. I think the dude in the video is from Florida.
2) I've been to Toronto in January. Just as miserably cold as when I went to Minneapolis for a NYE party. People in the lower peninsula of Michigan also think that the UP has snow 365 days a year.
3) We don't think all you do is drink maple syrup. We think all you do is drink beer, hunt, and watch hockey (being played by bears vs. geese wearing jean jackets).
4) I've never met anyone who thought Canadians are "ignorant".
Naive maybe, but not ignorant.
@@southsider1973 Trump is just as bad as Trudeau! Trump and Trudeau are best friends for life
You didn't explain "Melting Pot" properly. A melting pot is when other cultures come into a nation, to be mostly assimilated into the culture, while adding some of their own culture. The "Mosaic" which isn't actually a very common term, is a much more shared principle. When someone who is Chinese comes to Canada, they aren't expected to live the 'American Dream', they are more than welcome to live by their culture, without conforming to the average Canadian.
Thanks for the clarification Eamon!
A prof explained it as Canada like a stew. The U.S. is like a soup.
Some of us immigrants just become average Canadians. I was born in Poland, came to Canada when I was six. I still speak Polish but otherwise I am not much different from someone of my generation who was born here.
we have spotify here what are u talking about?
し夜上 Canada has too smfh

"In American, talking about American politics is taboo; in Canada, it's a pastime."
Love it!
We still can't dodge politics. It's everywhere, and debates get heated.
Seona Elizabeth Coster you can't go anywhere in America anymore without the subject of our President coming up. Like him or hate him that one doesn't make any sense.
funny cus its true
Seona Elizabeth Coster At this point, I think it's an international pastime
Us people got to emet it there politics are really entertaining
And also I bet you that 80% of the American population thinks that us Canadians sit around, watching hockey, and drinking maple syrup while saying eh!!
Jody Douglas no
JustBecauseImHelen That’s the point in trying to make. We are both making assumptions about a country that we have been to maybe once or twice. I’m a Canadian I’ve gone to the USA once and I don’t know if you have been to Canada. But half the stuff he is saying is fulse.
Jody Douglas no kidding and so is the stuff that you said
You mean they don't?
:D Kidding!
Almost certain
I watched this because I thought it might be a light, funny video....but it swung from inaccurate and slight offensive sweeping assumptions (didn't do much fact checking and some of these facts about Canada even contradict each other) to weird but accurate facts like taking our shoes off in the house...I think it's more weather-related and not wanting to drag mud and snow puddles through the house...lol
Please do more research before stating "facts"
@John Barber shut up man
Exactly.
Wisconsin, U.S.A here! Head to a kwik trip anywhere in WI & you'll see milk in a bag! I grew up on it. I honestly thought everybody did.. !!?? 😆
I have no idea what you just said
@@giraffeboy2649 lol. Kwik Trip is a gas station over here you can go to & get bagged milk. 😊
Im Canadian and most of these are false.
Edit: HOLY SHIITTT this is the most amount of likes i have ever gotten. Eh?
TheCanadianMoose HD I know right this guy has no clue what he’s talking about
Us citizens usually don’t know anything about Canada.
Canadians and Americans all have no roots and culture. they have no to much of differences.
I agree I am one too and some are fake eh
He did say Canadians deny when they have problems, and darned if that isn't exactly what you guys are doing.
6:42 how are you gonna make this video if you haven’t been to Canada once🤣
As a Canadian I can say almost all of these are not true at all
J'onn O'Ryan Ditto as an American
Totally!
So true! I asume you're canadian and so am i. Im from Quebec,Montreal and i've always asked myself...do you guys (the rest of Canada) hate Quebec?
I used to live in Cherive when I was a kid (Forgive me if I misspelled that, it's French after all)
I have lived in every region of Canada and these are all mostly true
I would love to see the research behind this video. As a duel-citizen to both Canada and the U.S I find this extremely inaccurate...
Crispy Cream is it hard being a citizen of Atlantis? 😆
Jesus, just take your shoes off at the door. WE DONT WANT DIRT IN HERE OUR PARENTS JUST MADE US CLEAN THE DAMN FLOORS!

Unfortunately the gentleman in this video perpetuates the stereotype that Americans know very little about Canada.....
.....sad, so very sad.......
Yep but at the same time he says in the video that americans: 1- don't study anything about canada 2- ignore historical events if they lost it 3- never think or talk about canada. But then pretend he can tell the difference between canada and usa.

British war aims in war of 1812:
1. End US trade with France for the duration of the Napoleonic wars, Acheived
2. Establish and support a blocking state of American Indian tribes to block US westward expansion. Failed.
US war aims:
1. End impressment of US citizens for service in British warships. Achieved.
2. Defeat the blocking state plan of the British, clear way for westward expansion. Achieved
British campaigns:
Blockade. Indecisive
Invasions of east coast of US. Indecisive.
Invasions and Great Lakes naval battles in north US. Failed
Invasions from Gulf of Mexico particularly in support of goal 2: Failed disastrously.
Defense of Canada: Successful.
Note that the crisis in the British offensives came during a lull in the Napoleonic wars, when the British could, and did, send great numbers of their Napoleonic war vets across the pond.
US Campaigns:
Tried to invade Canada to use as a bargaining chip with Britain. Failed decisively.
Run blockade and challenge Britain at sea: Success limited by size of fleet, but more successful than not.
Defenses on various fronts against British and Indian land campaigns. Mostly successful.
The British were brought back to the negotiating table at least partly by a reheating of the situation in continental Europe, of course.
The invasion of Canada, of course, looms larger in the Canadian consciousness than is really warranted. The invasion was not a US war aim, but a strategy. Such was the US attitude toward GB at the time that they naively expected opposition only from British regulars, and SUPPORT from the Canadian citizenry. They miscalculated Canadian sentiment more than the military situation.
Tess Wolfe Most Americans know next to nothing about Canada or Canadians
It is quite true though, I was once on vacation in Jamaica with my family, and a couple from Louisiana asked us if we have electricity in Canada. They were not kidding, dumb as a bag of rocks.
You would think that Americans, especially educated Americans, would like to show the world that knowing stuff is cool, after all, they invented nuclear war (with the help of Nazi scientists). But that's rarely what they do. Instead, they freely admit that they're stupid, and they're proud of it, which of course, is Trump explained. If it doesn't directly affect them, then they don't care. But it's not just Canada they ignore. Ask an average American any question about their own country, and probably 95% of them will fail to answer correctly. Unfortunately, Canadians like to follow American trends. I fear the stupid trend could be spreading across the Great White North.
Happy Canada 150 to my Canadian bros!

Yes the country with two languages is more conformative. That makes sense.
Canada has a lot more than two languages.
Dude...America has more than 2 languages such as German Spanish English Swedish Norwegian Japanese Chinese Dutch French and much more...
@@bldyvalentine5001 We also have many different languages in Canada.
The difference is that in Canada, both English and French are our official languages, so both are mandatory at school.
@@coralie288 same, except our 2 most spoken and official languages are English and Spanish.
@Eugen Oh, so nobody speaks in Canada, then? What the fuck do you think you're talking about?
Number 11 is half wrong, we do get Spotify and it is legal.
Luci Swaffield thank you I was gonna say that.. tbh he got a few things wrong.
The video mentions Canada has 5 political parties, but doesn't mention that Canadians understand that democracy doesn't work well with only 2 parties and is far more prone to corruption. It takes at least a third viable party to keep the other two honest.
While we technically have 5, we really only have 3. Liberals, Conservatives and the NDP are national parties that run candidates all over the country and all have provincial arms. All have either formed government nationally or provincially (both in the case of the L and the C), and all have been the official opposition. The Greens are a force to be reckoned with in BC but on the national stage they are a footnote at best (the best they've ever done is to get 1 elected MP per election). The BQ are not a national party (they only run candidates in Quebec), they've never been a serious threat to any government, and in the last election they managed to get just 10 seats; They're the party of die-hard separatists and those types get fewer and fewer every year. Until we get rid of first-past-the-post politics and move to proportional representation the Greens and the BQ don't matter much.
g00gle minus - I agree with every sentence except the last - they do matter. They function very well and serve a purpose without being viable contenders to win. I have voted Green and will do so again, but I don’t want them to run the country or the province! I just want them to have a few seats in Parliament so the environment issues have a voice. They also provide a good swing vote in the house.The official opposition is often too stubborn to provide bipartisan support so the small minority’s role can be both powerful and well grounded in morality.
Three major parties and two or three small parties is an ideal combination. More than three contenders would make for too much change - and change can be expensive and more unstable.

We do have spotify
DemonicWerewolf America too
It’s not a love hate relationship, yes we do have differences but we don’t hate them. We still love each other.
I am canadian I am very passive aggressive :p. and we don’t BRAG about the cold, we hate it.
Shelby Sigouin . I'm in Toronto, People have been freezing to death (literally)
Ariana Doesn’t have a life but we deal with it!...
Yes some of us do. But it's not like we have a choice. Living in Canada for almost 13 years I've learned to embrace it and learn to love it. You just have to try it sometime plus you can't say you have never been tobogganing and hated it...lol😄
I know, some people might like the cold (for some dumb reason) but have you ever heard a sane Canadian say “Haha you stupid american. It was -35 today. Beat that”
Shelby Sigouin lack of cold? It was -45 in Calgary a few weeks ago
Canada seems to be sitting on top of the USA
It means were on top.
Canada...America's hat!
Steve, we prefer to think of it as America. Canada's pants.
Luke Friendly not seems to be. It is
Actually, president Trump, Canada would have most of the rest of the world come to its assistance if the U.S. were stupid enough to try such a thing. You sound about as delusional as the real thing is.
I would agree with eleven but I listen to Spotify ever morning
Im in Canada and use spotify wtf
In Canada, most people vote for an individual, not a party. Even when a politician "crosses the floor" (aka, joins a different political party) most of their supporters go with them.
Also, if any politian does something we don't agree with, we call them out on it, even if we voted for them. We never excuse bad behavior just because we identify with a certain politial party.
Obviously, there have always been exceptions to that rule. Worryingly, there are a lot more exceptions these days.
MOST Canadians vote on policy NOT individuals OR Party. Only idiots would keep voting party, and only idiots would vote for a turncoat. What country do YOU live in?
You are a dumb ass like this fool who made this video
That's not entirely true. How about Toronto's crazy-ass mayor, Bob Ford? No matter how stupid, criminal or just outrageous the things he did or said were, his constituency never wavered for a moment in their support. Very much like Trump's, it seems. I could mention other politicians at the provincial and federal level who do some pretty awful junk, but retain their loyal followers, no matter how horribly they behave. I won't bother naming them, however; Canadians already know who they are and Americans wouldn't recognize them anyway.
@@iRMacMan Maybe because Rob (not Bob) Ford was the best mayor Toronto's had in half a century.
This video is supposed to be fun, but.....most of these.... well... I’m gonna go ride my moose to school and eat maple syrup for lunch. Bye Felica

As a lifelong Minnesotan, I was thinking to myself how many of these things seem familiar to me and how we really weren't that different from Canadians. Once you got to #7 it started to make a bit more sense.
I’m Canadian and I’ve got Spotify. So does everyone I know.
Llama_yamanamala Rumtum tidily dum same bro
same
so do I .I wonder where he read that eh
Llama_yamanamala Rumtum tidily dum same
If I look out my window I can see Spotify’s headquarters in Canada!
Proud Minnesotan here. And we are basically South Canada.
Justin LeClair Actually some parts of Canada are more southern than Minnesota.
Between the UP northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, U can't get much colder in the US.. (Screw u Alaska)
Justin LeClair your fucking American and your staying American. not Canadian.
Justin LeClair The is no such thing as South Canada.
Jk I know there is such thing as south Canada
Bewm Fries we (minnesota) are like canadian becuase of are socialist health care (that was reduced after building the vikings a stadium)
I am Australian and yeah. There is a huge difference between Canada and the US. Canada to us is our equal. We have a lot in common, the US on the other hand is almost our opposite. Canada is a cold Australia while the US is what we don't want to become.
Here are some facts on Canada that everyone in Australia knows. They have the same free healthcare as Australia but it isn't as good as the NHS in the UK, Canada is in the Commonwealth of nations, Canadian French has a different accent to French, Quebec was made because of a peace treaty between France and the UK (saying they are Canada's Texas is very incorrect, it's more like it's the UK's Ireland) and Canada has open borders to refugee's because it is vastly underpopulated.
Oh, and long live the Queen of Canada. (say hi to Quebec for me)
That's an interesting take. Thanks for sharing
It's only free when you don't pay taxes. Pay attention to government and economics class next time.
@eyeofjake.....as a Canadian speaking on behalf of this fine Australian gent I'd just like to say shut your God damn cake hole.
How about you come and make me there internet badass. Let me know when you are in town so I can laugh at your attempt.
I'm from Quebec and I love you for saying that!

Lol Lol for sure. My whole family and nearly my whole grade has it in ontario

hey I live in Manitoba too! where in Manitoba are you?
no online shopping? No store websites? ummm..... I think you're wrong
Us Americans loves our neighboring country, Canada! Canadians look so cool and they seem so nice! Their government seems great and they're really good with the Maple Syrup!
ok ok actually, I'm Canadian and I disagree about the government. Canada's government right now is unfortunately run by... SJW's. Foolish, blind Liberals. I hate Justin Trudeau, and I hate the Liberal Party. Go Conservatives! But also, as a Canadian, I am very happy with America. I do believe America is a much more professional country than Canada, especially with President Trump. America is a great country, with amazing history, and a great current government. God bless America!
agreed
Pixel Boss trump is most likely pulling out of nafta (north American free trade agreement) witch will affect Canada due to the trade survaces
ok ok our government fucking sucks right now because the fucking liberals won the election so now we're all just waiting
colin croft our P.M sucks
We do have Spotify and I’ve never heard a Canadian brag about how much it snows
As an American I love Canada and I especially love Canadians! Especially Canadian National and Canadian Pacific.
Canada, you wont see fights on buses or trains here!! lol
That's not entirely true. I live in Edmonton Alberta. We do have out fair share of fights on buses. Not often but when we do, they can be brutal. On December 9th 2009 a Edmonton Transit bus driver was brutally assaulted to the point his left eye was completely damage. The bus driver was dragged out of his seat and out of the bus and then kicked and punch repeatedly by the assailant. The assailant pleaded guilty and was sentenced to jail for the rest of his life as a dangerous offender.
Yes Canada is safer then the United States however brutal crime can happen here. The 2017 Edmonton attack was a stabbingand vehicle-ramming attack that occurred in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on September 30, 2017. Edmonton police constable Mike Chernyk was allegedly hit and stabbed by 30-year-old Abdulahi Sharif, who then struck four pedestrians with a rental truck during a police chase. All four injured survived and were hospitalized. The incident is currently being investigated as a terrorist attack, with police confirming the presence of an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant flag in the van that rammed the police officer. Then the Assailant got out of the van and repeatedly stabbed the Police Officer.
Extremely false. I've witnessed tons of fights on the bus and in the subway. Not proud of that, but... well, Toronto.
Hey ballads 1!
Your hockey players are your best fighters.
I have Spotify and I live in Maple syrup land.
Question from down southish: is maple real maple syrup expensive there? the REAL (i.e not artificial) stuff is quite expensive where i am...
Not a Cat nah the real maple syrup in canada costs as little as milk
Not a Cat maple syrup is like honey
Its 100 percent natural
You make it by taking maple water from a tree and boiling it. So that the water evaporates and only the maple. Syrup as we know it is left
Oh and to collect is from a tree you take a little metal ramps and stick it in the trunck and a bucket under and this for a mounth during spring cause its the only time its produced
So thats why its expensive its produced in only like Quebec Ontario we have few population and its produced only 1 mounth a year and us canadians take all of it as soon as we can
Not a Cat No it's not its like 5$ ;-; I think.... Also Canada's maple syrup is always real its from tree's :/ so it's totally natural dude
There is some artificial maple syrup definitly. In a lot of restaurant they are going to charge you if you want real mapple syrup
He just compared Quebec with Texas,man who lied to you?
what do you mean lying?
Na, he only don't know shit about both and talk about them.
MatWells what do I mean🤔
It's just that the Texas and Quebec is a good comparison because we are the province that want to separate the most from Canada. Just like Texas in the US (or California)
The way of life I think suits here in Alberta more with Texas. We love our barbecue and rodeos especially in Calgary, Alberta with their Calgary Stampede.
However with the separation I understand. Personally I like all parts of Canada. I am from outside of Edmonton.
my house is made of petrified maple syrup and I have a beaver mote surrounding my property to ward off hungry polar bears and wolverines. My fridge is an igloo and I ride my moose to work Monday to Friday. I just recently got into a "sorry" fight with a stranger where we stood toe to toe for several days until he finally submitted and unfortunately died from dehydration. I went to his funeral and apologized to everyone several times but I still feel like it wasn't enough. My wardrobe consists of red and black plaid flannel shirts and denim jackets. I only eat poutine and pemale bacon. I drink strong beer and I AM CANADIAN
@Filius Filthiest I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you get through the funeral.
Filius Filthiest snacks include ketchup chips, all dressed chips, and coffee crisp
Guy died of dehydration, eh?
Sorry for your loss.
Funeral eh? Soory aboot your loss
Awww man sorry bro :(
I’ve been to Canada a couple of times , I live in ny state and have been to Montreal and Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. I have to admit, I never really thought too much about Canada, I’ve been hearing about it more lately and learning that it is more than what I always viewed it to be.
Canada is very rich. Me as a person that lives in US, the majority of the people think that everything outside the country is poor and rough. There are cities in Canada and from around the world that are richer, cleaner and safer, than american cities.
I can't understand why Canadians are obsessed with American politics. Stick with what you know.
wtf is wrong with eleven i’m canadian and have spotify. both are available btw
America showed the Brits the door and yet kept everything. Language, customs, traditions beliefs etc. Sounds untrustworthy. Canadians at least kept loyal
Yeah, no. Americans and Brits are very different. and Canada is kind of mostly british but kind ofAmerican as well. We have the accent in common, and we have a deep love of fried foods (mmmm poutine) but our government is much, much closer to the British system, and our Social reforms are different, or at least come faster than Americans.
5hitter Kiss asses that's what you are.
Yah I'm not suger code it with hiw much I love Canada the reason we kept it was we are from English desent
Canada has Spotify!!
Sarah Park so does America 😱
Roxy Pena he never said you didn't. Just stated the fact that we have it too :)
BUT WE DIDN'T ALWAYS HAVE ACCESS TO IT!!!!! It wasn't brought over here until approx. 4 years ago. we do miss out on a lot of things americans have.... like better netflix. -.-
Canada has Spotify...
I have it on my phone.
I'm from Canada and WHO THE HELL walk into their own home with their shoes on? We have a dedicated room to store our shoes, before we set foot into the rest of the house. It's madness!
It varies by household. Some people like to keep their carpets clean, some don't mind dirt. Unless I'm making several trips in and out of the house, I take them off inside.
i do and im from TEXAS now if their really muddy or dirty ill take them off but some people have carpet and they like it clean..i personally have hard wood and dont mind if their not dirty dirty ...idk if its a southern thing? that cracked me up ..o and the reason we love our state is that we were a country that fought for independence and then joined the US ..its not really a big deal in other states just more of a TEXAS thing not only because were the biggest state and have the most firepower but that we were a separate country for some time that"s why were more loving of the state and then it spread across to the states
I tend to walk around my own home with my shoes on because I’m too lazy to take them off. If it’s in another person’s house, I’ll take them off.
I'm Canadian and fun fact we invented lacrosse, hockey, basketball and baseball
We just forget a lot of things
... and football. The Grey Cup is older than the NFC and AFC.
Two sidekicks Jaelynn and Owen you folks didn't invent baseball, you just have the first ever recorded baseball game in history a year before Doubleday supposedly created it the origins of baseball go back to cricket and rounders I could be wrong tho and there could be much more information out there that I haven't read
Right on. also the gas mask and hosts of other significant inventions. Freakin americans. We were also a haven for your 'runaway slaves' and WE happen to enjoy our Multi-culturalism.
Americans invented baseball.
