Wow someone is not from Michigan or even near the Great Lakes MACNICK….. it’s MACINAWWW

This video is a real watershed moment for me

Kakabeka falls that feeds into lake superior is often a forgotten marvel!

The pronunciation has to be satire this is ridiculous.

The volume of the great lakes is truly incomprehensible. "About a fifth of all fresh water on the surface of the earth" helps a bit. If you really want to try to get it you have to visit the falls. Niagara Falls is moving an incomprehensible volume of water every second. Get close to it. Feel it. Let the sheer power and scale sink in to your bones. And then realize that the great lakes have enough volume to flow over these falls for over 300 years. In reality, some of the water in the depth of Superior has probably been there since the ice age, and the trickle going over the falls is the overflow from rainfall in the watershed. (One of the great lakes is even downstream from the falls.) But I think it's the best way to give yourself a hint as to this sort of scale.

Say the letter A then say the word Ah. Then say the word Winnebago , Just a not ah. Next word we will work on is Kaukauna.

6:21 You hit on a really important nuance here. Contact, colonialism, and imperialism are often conflated within popular understandings of Canadian history. They are, however, there distinct processes. Contact is just the regular interaction of different people groups. Imperialism refers to the policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy, trade, or military force. However, imperialism need not necessarily result in effective political control. The presence of effective political control of an imperial power over an indigenous one is, however, a prerequisite for colonialism. In some areas, like the St. Lawrence, contact, imperial expansion, and colonization all happened more-or-less concurrently. In other areas, like Rupertsland, the fur trade started as exchange through a contact milieu, only becoming imperialism the late 1700s and into the 1800s. Even then, despite its imperialist attitudes and colonial pretensions, the HBC never had the ability to exercise effective political control over the territories they claimed. Thus, while the HBC was an imperialist commercial and mercantile venture, calling them colonial suggests they had way more power than they did, and obscures our understandings of the distinct Indigenous historical developments that occurred between contact in the 1670s and colonization in the 1870s.

2:30 in addition to their own rich fur resources, the Cree themselves were middlemen for nations further west (as far afield as the Blackfoot and Mandan). They jealously guarded this middleman position until the HBC and NWC pushed inland in the 1780s.

Now you should do the northern Great Lakes: Lake Tindé, Lake Sahtu, Lake Athabasca, etc.

What is winabago its pronounced winabaygo

All of these Americans gasping at pronounciation, like they wouldn't have absolutely butchered all the French names mentioned.

canada is fake and ghey

the plural form of cactus is cacti

I noticed the map in the background is of Moncton/Dieppe/Riverview. Are you an Acadian from NB? Nice channel btw

How large are Canada and the States? We think nothing of using *other sovereign nations* as units of measure....

Ellesmere is a two syllable word, not three. A basic mistake like this right off the hop shows me that you know less about Canadian geography than I do.

I gasped at how you pronounced "Lake Winnebago" Wi. As a local living on the lake, It's pronounced as Lake (Wi-nuh-bag-gow)

Thanks a lot for providing this very informative video. Very interesting to see how all the lakes are connected and the elevation between them. Keep up the great work!

'archipelago' is such a delicious word for putting emphassiss on the wrong syllabull because arcki-pe-lego' works too when youre sassy

Wow so Niagara falls drops further than Lake Erie is deep

I love that the native population is growing. Its only growing because of the residental school system is closed. Sad fact but yeah. We're at a 1.4 million native peoples. Inuit, First Nations and Metis.

-1 for pronunciation

If one travels just to the opposite side of the North Pole it could be argued that Canada in a sense has a border with Russia as well ( although not quite as contiguous as with the nations mentioned ). I think you folks would do well to charge transit fees for the NW passage ( don't let us in the US bully or schmooze our way out of it ). With substantial regulatory oversight, it might be a good thing to tap into the mineral and petroleum resources that abound there

I genuinely look forward to keeping my personal information out of the next census. Canada doesn't need information it doesn't already have.

pronounce words correctly please

Funny enough how there is no official confirmation of 17000 km of Expressways and they are usually mentioned as Highways in various sources. Also, if you watch the dashcam video of the Trans Canada trip, half of the way is a single lane both ways road with traffic lights, passing through many cities and villages. Also on so-called Expressways there are many turns and intersections with the field roads.

Isn’t Lake Champlain also a part of the watershed?

Some people count Lake Champlain as part of the Great Lakes.

The first public works project in the US was the Erie Canal, built over a ten year period in the 1820s. It connected New York City to the Great Lakes by using the Hudson River as far north as Albany, then west to Buffalo and Lake Erie. Before the canal was built Philadelphia was larger than New York City. The canal is what made Chicago the business capital of the mid west.

It is a pipedream of mine to drive from coast to coast and it is finally happening in the summer of 2026 as graduation gife to myself

Did you do a video on the history of great lakes maritime navigation and channel history?

Mac‐in‐naw

US guy living in the Great Lakes Region. As a cup scout back in the 1950's we did a presentation on the Great Lakes. Mine was Lake Erie. I still remember my little part: Lake Erie is the shallowest of them all and has never failed to answer the call. From east to west it give ships service at its best"

I see a lot of people complaining about Canada's weather. I moved to Alberta a couple of years ago from the US Midwest and I don't think the weather is all that different. It is colder, yes, but is -30 somehow significantly different from -20? Anyway, I've been to the semi desert regions in Alberta. They look cool and kinda remind me of Utah

Le Canada mérite de mourir. Aucun état colonial pratiquant l'impérialisme à l'international ne mérite l'unité. Nous avons été conquis et annexé par la force. Nos villages ont été détruits, nos femmes violées, nos militants pendus. Nous sommes forcés à se battre pour les guerres que le Canada endosse avec les États-Unis. Nous avons été poussés, divisés, martyrisés. Nous avons le droit de crier pour notre pouvoir d'autodétermination. La liberté ou la mort.

Trans canada is not rral highway. Spee is 90 kmh. 50mph and traffic sign in between

There’s also the southern route trans-Canada route thru Alberta and B.C. - Highway 3 that starts at Medicine Hat and ends at Hope. I thought that was a federal highway.

I find it curious that at 3:20 when you list several other lakes around the Great Lakes you don't mention the Georgian Bay. If you look at google maps for example the Georgian Bay is labeled separate from Lake Huron. This bay which is really a lake is entirely within the Canada boundary is also larger than all of those other smaller lakes that you mentioned!!

Nice of Canada to name this major highway in honor of the trans community....😒

have you actually read a damn thing? 1) Canada is NOT nor has EVER been a country, 2) charter rights and freedom is NOT valid, see section 59 3) Quebec was bankrupt hence the reason for the BNA act 1867 turning 4 provinces into debt slaves. 4) with the HBC AND Dominion of Canada functioning for a year HBC was sold back to the Queen for 18M pounds 1868 ( which Canada paid for ) NO "District" is valid as the 'Crown" ( Corporate sole) has NO authority to create a country. 1649 ( Beheading of King Charles I ) the "crown" as dissolved IN PERPETUITY. "Canada" is a 12 mile stripe of water AROUND the land mass 'KNOWN" as Canada.( read Oceans Act ) you may want to read the Articles of Confederation 1777 sec 11 things you may want to read to educate yourself 1867 B.N.A Act ( they need this for Charter of Right but it was DEAD in 1893 1893 Stature Law Revisions Act ( removing the crown and killing the BNA) 1926 Belfour Declaration ( declaring Britain and it's dominions Constitutionally equal) 1931 Statute Westminster ( each province is a sovereign nation UNTIL we ( the people )form a country

Also it was called the North Western Territory...... not north west territories, as it grew.

The original capital of Canada is Kingston and not Ottawa.

Mack-in-ack.

You got the plains of Abraham wrong. You showed the park called "plains of Abraham," but the actual plains of Abraham include Montcalm district and the actual centre of the city.

Hwy 104 in Nova Scotia is now twinned from the NB border to past Antigonish. The new section opened last year.

Petersborough… 😂

Your inability to properly pronoun things leaves you as an idiot on this subject

Good ..HOMES

what is the point comparing metro area ? Metro area includes multiple cities, Toronto's population is around 3 million right now.

Mackinac is pronounced MACK-IN-AW not MACK-IN-NACK
