The Native Americans children were taken to residential schools in the US too. Cut their hair, dressed them in different clothing, took their language from them, broke up families....terrible....
Thank you Frenchie for reminding me of these Heritage Minutes. They were a staple of my tv watching childhood and renewed my pride in being Canadian.
I’ve sat on the shore north of Halifax Harbour and watched the Bluenose under full sail, put out to sea. Magnificent.
We live in a wonderful country, still full of so much exciting potential with almost half a million migrants coming every year to add unique perspectives to our varied buffet of cultures.
Come visit us, please! Every province and region will greet you with a hearty welcome, great food and hospitality!
I am an american female. Sixty four years old. I never knew any of this. I absolutely loved this. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.❤❤❤
Aaah, Frenchie. I'm Canadian and was born in the 60's. In 1985 I could not get a credit card in my name. The card had to say "Mrs. Bob Smith" instead of my name on it. A Sears card, and I worked at freaking Sears! It would have been around 1989 that I was able to get the first credit card with my own name on it. It can sometimes be hard to imagine that this shit was in our own lifetime. EDITED TO ADD: I grew up in Ottawa, knew Laura Secord the store and about the person. Moved to Alberta, no sign of it here. The west has Purdy's instead. Without seeing the name in every mall, people don't seem to wonder who Laura Secord was. Also had to laugh, just yesterday I asked my Mom if she smelled the burnt toast and she goes "you having a seizure?" LOL 82 years old and SHE still remembers that one!
😮 I loved this wish we had something like this in the states ❤
Thank you for putting that all together Frenchie! The one about the Irish orphans getting to keep their last names was always the most meaningful to me. My French Canadian grandma was a Brady, somewhere back in our family tree was one of those orphans.
My great grandfather was a railroad child. He came from Canada on a train with so many children before the depression. He ended up with a farmer who beat him. He ran away from there at 9 and went to the States. He started his family and was always the most kindest, compassionate man I knew. He would walk hours each day, probably trying to escape the early horrid memories. My dad loved him so much. He was from an Inuit tribe I think.
This is amazing. Slavery was not taught in the US when I was in school. It still infuriates me today. Thank you for this post.
This was fascinating, I never knew Winnie was Canadian. Thank you for sharing with us
I know, right? This and the documentary about the ice storm are my favorite streams of Frenchie's. I love learning with her commentary; it feels like listening with a friend. 😊
@@e.v.8949 I was going to ask her when she’s going to school for her teaching degree 😁😁
If you’re interested, there’s a movie starring Michael Fassbender about her story!
@@marigold3208 thank you very interested
Love this FFG! As a Canadian and a teacher in Ontario I love a great teachable moment. You did amazing ❤
There’s a Heritage Minute that’s always stuck with me talking about Canada liberating the Dutch town of Holten during WWII. In Holland there is a Canadian War Graves Cemetery with 1,394 Canadian soldiers buried there (both those who died there and those who were brought in from Germany so they could finally RIP on friendly soil). Most of the dead had been killed in the Netherlands, but many had died in the fighting in Germany in the last weeks of the war. Dutch families go to the cemetery and move quietly around the rows of headstones, each with a carved maple leaf and the name, date of death, and unit of the soldier. The Dutch remember every year. They teach their children about the war in their schools. On Christmas Eve every year the children of Holten go to the Canadian cemetery to light a candle on each grave to make the point that freedom had-and still has-a price.
It gives me goosebumps every time. 🍁 🕯️
Frenchie, I love you so so much right now!!! My family is Canadian, but I grew up in Rochester, NY, watching these on CBC, and this just brought me such nostalgia chills!! I am so freaking happy right now!! 😊❤😊❤
ha! I grew up in Ottawa watching Rochester TV :) Holds a special place in my heart.
You ever see lushy in the wild?😅
@hellofoodiebeauties it wouldn't surprise me if I had 😄 I live in Washington, DC, now, but next time I'm home, I'm going to see if I can spot her in the wild! 😄😄😄
Frenchie thank you for this.. this brought me back to childhood. We should still have these. We actually learned from these.
Being Canadian, this brings back sooooo many memories!!! ❤️
Thanks @FFG 💯❤
Am I the only American that found it really satisfying to see that Pa made it? especially after learning about the underground railroad?
I love visiting Canada . Montreal in the fall! Magnificent
This was a really great post - thank you! I feel we should all be proud of whatever country we live in and strive to be better citizens and know our history in order to not repeat our sins of the past.
As kids we always used to say “I can smell burnt toast!”once it popped. Please do more of these types of videos they remind me of why I’m proud to be Canadian. I also cried like a baby. A wailing baby.
This was so interesting and actually fun! thank you! 💞 My mom has epilepsy and has had it since she was in her 20s. She had brain surgery in 2016, even though it didn't cure it she now has them less often and less intense. So thank you Canada ❤❤
The residential schools portion SHOCKED me. Ive never heard of that, how truly terrifying that must have been for those kids.
If you want to be even more shocked, look into how many graves have been found in recent years on the old school grounds.
We were never taught there was slavery in Canada here in the US . I’m enjoying this Frenchie💕
Sadly slavery has been and still is global and I don’t think there’s been any group of humans or animals left out of that awful treatment. (I myself am a modern survivor)
One of the endpoints of the Underground Railroad was in Nova Scotia.
@@daisyandme72 Thank you. I’m glad to know this
@@Hopeandpeaceinjesus it’s s terrible. Man’s inhumanity to man. The same for animals
As a cancer patient, the Terry Fox clip hit me the hardest.
I was a kid, home from school sick...watching tv...on the day the news broke that his cancer was back and had spread.
I watched him cry and tell all of us that his run was over.
I cried like a baby that day for him, and it still hits just as hard today.
RIP Terry. ❤🇨🇦
The salmon used to be so thick you could just about walk accross the water too. It makes me so mad that people were so greedy that they completely collapsed both fisheries! Now they're doing the same thing to the few remaining tuna as well!
The Flander's Fields poem gets me every time too.🥺
Laura Secord was my favorite chocolate bar as a kid! Also, I was a kid in North Vancouver and I knew all about her! I was a kid when Terry Fox did his cancer run. When he passed the entire country cried. I remember the news getting choked up. All us kids cried. It was so sad.
It's not just over fishing that's causing the decline... closing off natural habitats, adding dams, stocking the wrong type of fish, pollution, etc. Salmon for example, will travel thousands of kilometres back to where they were born to spawn. If they can't get there, they will die without spawning... where I live, they close dams at the wrong time of year and where the fish have spawned dries up and the eggs will die...they over stock lake trout which means less food for other species, too much competition.
@@hellofoodiebeautiesppl shouldn’t have to stock anything. It’s awful what humans do! We take and take! If we didn’t play god with nature we wouldn’t have these problems. Humans really are parasites!
I don't know what I was expecting but this was a really neat video! I took a cruise to Nova Scotia a few years ago and was shocked about how little I knew about our neighbors to the north, and this gave me the same feeling. Well done.
My God this is fucking brilliant
Laura Secord stores were/are an eastern Canada thing (Ontario and east to the Maritimes.) When I lived in NS, I used to buy Laura Secord ginger chocolates on special occasions for my mother. I miss their mint chocolate ice cream.
I'm trying to think of something like these in America and I can't remember anything? school house rock but that wasn't quite the same. These were corny but cute and funny
This is so fascinating - thank you Frenchie for sharing!
Who knew Winnie the Pooh is Canadian. Thats awesome. Thank you for this video.
I wonder what the Kuwaití heritage minutes would be. Thank you for this. It brought back a lot of memories. Particularly Dr. Penfield, as a long time ago, I smelled the burnt toast, and it was taken care of immediately. Now the only burnt toast I smell is from an over toasted grilled cheese.
This was super fun and educational ❤
Thanks again for another great video... I'm loving these Frenchie Documentaries ❤
I haven't seen some of the vintage hertiage moments since I was a kid! this was great, Frenchie. My personal fav is Jacques Plante (as a former goalie myself!) he was such a bad ass.
I love psa type things. And human history.
There’s a funny Life of Sharks comic where one shark asks his other shark friend “What is it we can smell from a quarter mile away?” And his buddy says “Blood.” And the first shark says, “Not toast? And his buddy said “No.”So the first shark gets alarmed and says, “ Eugene, I think I’m having a stroke.” These little PSA shorts were so informative!!
Happy upcoming Shark Week! 🦈
I like these history type vids. Something else cool would be maybe local mysteries or spooky stories.
Wonderful, this documentary and the ice storm one! Keep them coming, Chantal is boring af by now and personally prefear this kind of content.
P. S: I knew Winnie was Canadian, from a Canadian client, years ago 😊
Fun fact: I had 3 relatives who sailed the bluenose 😊 One was captain in 1941.
"Our home ON Native land" 🥹❤
❤🇨🇦❤️
Oof fr, I didn't expect to get this nostalgic on this Sunday morning 😢🥺🥹❤️🍟❤️
Never knew that about Winnie the pooh. Apparently, I'm not too old to learn new things. This is all super interesting to me from the US ....haven't seen a lot of this, didn't know
This was wonderful Frenchie. Learned a lot about Canada today.
This was a brilliant idea! It brought back so many memories. Thanks. 💜
I love stuff like this
This kind of cool seeing our famous fry geek out about her country. Thanks for showing us a bit of history and fun.
It’s overlooked but the Irish enslaved. At one point in American history, a black slave had higher status than the Irish.
I loved this when you streamed it. ❤
You did such a great job on this! I would also love to hear your take on politics, culture, history, etc.
I know twice as much about Canada as I leave this video as I knew before I clicked. I love watching the Canada v USA rivalry xD It reminds me of UK v Australia.
I'm living for the history lessons! I say more, please ❤
This is so cool!
Love these, never knew Winnie the Pooh was CANADIAN????
This feels so Australian ❤
This is interesting! TY I didn't know he was Canadian. I thought he was British Bolo, the dog? My family was part of the Underground Railroad in Nebraska
Frenchy I love this video! I'm fascinated with history. It was very interesting learning all these Canadian history bits as an American. Like freaking Winnie the Pooh! 🇨🇦
I really enjoyed this! As an older Canadian, 56,, I can't believe some Canadians don't know Laura Secord???? In my mid 20's, I lived in Vancouver for a few years, chocolate company there was Purdys, but there was Laura Secord there too.
Thank you, Frenchie
Thank you for posting this! Very interesting and informative. 👍🏻👍🏻☺️
Omg Frenchie I loved Road to Avonlea and Anne of Green Gabbles! Audio books of the full avonlea story and as Anne of green gabbles!!! I cry every time I listen, it brings me back to childhood when I used wait for the show every Sunday 😭😭😭😭🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
This was fascinating. Thank you Frenchie (I guess I used the comment section as a live chat)
Basketball is my favorite Canadian idea lol and then there’s whoever decided to tap a maple tree lol yum
Edit: ah man, gotta add Superman!
Edit: of course Indigenous people are to thank for maple syrup duhhh lol
Sooo much to say about these Heritage Minutes!! I’ve learned so much, it makes me wish I was Canadian. The good and bad. History in the United States is so sugar coated and white washed, as an adult, I’ve learned the darker side of our history.
Brilliant video. Only suggestion is to still call Caitlyn Jenner by her current name instead of her dead name. She may not be a great leader of the LGBTQIA community but her gender still deserves to be recognized, especially post coming out.
Thanks for sharing all these informative clips; I grew up on American PBS and I wish we'd had a program like this between cartoons for American history as well. It would've done even more good than PBS Kids did! 😊
Bruce won the Olympic medals not Caitlyn after the transition, and after the hormones. Since Caitlyn is SOOOO against trans females from competing in female athletics, it’s 100% appropriate to refer to her as Bruce when referencing the ‘72 & ‘76 Olympics.
Dude, it's not that difficult to call people by their actual name. She sucks, but it's a good habit at the BARE MINIMUM to be thoughtful of trans individuals.
This is awesome ffg! I’m Canadian and I only knew some of this! Love you!
I love Terry Fox 💕. Got to see him run through London Ontario
We memorized In Flanders Fields in elementary school in BC, as well.
Sad I missed the twitch stream, I was at a baseball game! I loved this, Frenchie. We had similar videos we watched in elementary school about Arizona specifically, and it’s cool to see similarly digestible content about other countries, as well. I’d love to see more stuff like this ❤
I’m a west coaster BC breezer and I had NO IDEA about some of the heritage you showed us
I remember Terry Fox. What a remarkable man
In the US we get fake poppies and people teach their kids the Flanders field poem.
What part of the US are you in? I’m from the southwest and haven’t heard of this.
Central Florida ATM but I noticed this in the DC beltway area and a few other places but that may be due to my living on or near a base most of my life.
I always thought Canada was a perfect nation compared to us. Our northern neighbors were this shining light.
I still think you’re neat
I didn't learn about Marconi in school - they push Edison as the ultimate inventor and no one else, like Marconi/Tesla, etc. are really included where I grew up, anyway.
Love this!!!
Wow, this brings back memories 😂
You are so lucky with where you live Frenchie, beautiful country , lovely video ❤🍁🇨🇦
Oh man I totally didn't get the notification for this. Boo twitch!
My spouse and I still talk about the burnt toast too
My son and I do that! “ did you burn toast?” “Yeah mom, you’re not having a stroke!” 😂
Omg Frenchie... can we pleeaasseee show the rest of the world Téléfrancais?! 🍍 everyone needs to experience Ananas
I loved these❤ grew up in Ont
Brilliant doc! Great job❤
Damn it girl, I’ve been enjoying a lovely afternoon doing fun, puttery little jobs and listening to these.
I’m too old to be sniveling like a baby bitch but that’s what I’ve been doing; while smiling at the proud moments of our heritage and cringing at the not so proud moments.
Speaking of Avonlea, tell me you read her last book: ‘Rilla of ingleside’ about Anne and Gilbert’s youngest daughter Marilla. Set against the backdrop of WW1 with more than a passing nod to a number of Heritage Minute issues.
The wifi router, google maps, baby seats for the car, the purity and improvement of antibiotics, the black box for planes, the beeping at crosswalks for blind people and many more things are Australian inventions.
I get annoyed when Americans say that they invented all things. I am not saying Americans have invented nothing. They have and the world benefits. However, all countries contribute too the greater good and that is awesome!
The internet has given the opportunity for communities to learn from each other and to strengthen friendships and bond's in the western communities.
OUTSTANDING. When I was growing up, my dad would buy Buddy Poppies, and wear them for a weeks. The money used used for veterans. (US) I think it is the same time they honor the dead with Buddy Poppies in the UK....Correct me if I'm wrong ..
In Vancouver we have an elementary school named after Laura Secord. It's in East Van on Lakewood Drive. Many of us have definitely heard of her
Loved this!
John Diefenbaker actually grew up in my area
Now that I think of Winnie the poos voice I can see that he’s Canadian 😊
Wow! What interesting facts! Cheers from the UK 🇬🇧
I lived in Lunenburg and worked beside the Bluenose 11
Edit: I lived in Halifax
Edit deux: there’s an episode of the Simpsons where Homer ignores Marge by reading the newspaper out loud. “Oh look, Quebec is having a referendum”
Edit 3: I lived beside a “bathhouse” in Toronto
Edit 4: I was driving on the Marconi Trail today.
Starting to think I’m Canadian
We all knew and we were 5 lmao I love franchie
Winnie the Pooh is my fave ❤️❤️❤️❤️- my Mom cried the day we learned Terry Fox passed away
Omg my childhood 🥰🥰🥰
this is so great!!!!!!
I have Jacques Plante autograph. Also, Maurice Richard. Caught them at MSG.
Winnie is Canadian? Awesome to know, had no idea!!!!!
WAIT, WE (US) INVADED CANADA?!?!?!?!?!!??! Ok, now I need to go read about this.
Fuk ya Winnipeg ! ❤ this was great ! Thanks frenchie 😊
I’m from the U.K. and was taught that Winnie the Pooh is English!
You're correct, the author of the stories is English. The bear that inspired the stories was Canadian. Honestly that heritage minute was always a stretch lol
great video.
Please do more streams like this ❤❤
I loved road to avonlea
