As a Canadian who spent several years in Ireland over a decade ago and now lives in Vancouver, I can confirm the observations made of the Irish Canadians.

As a Canadian who's never met an Irish person who thought they were Canadian, and as a Canadian who could barely make out a word of this - maybe because the volume is too low; maybe because I was watching the news on TV at the same time - I can assure you, you absolutely nailed it!
I laughed quite a bit. I work with some Irish lads in my trade and they are all pretty solid fellas. Some think they have superpowers by declaring "i'm irish" and that's ok.
I can spot the Irish boys in Kits from a mile away by their haircuts and hurling short shorts. Nothing but love, from a Canadian that thinks they're Irish.
Okay but a Newfoundlander in Vancouver is stil further away from home than an Irish person in Newfoundland. From St. John's Newfoundland it's 5000 km to Vancouver, but only 3300 km to Dublin.
Wow this hits close to home hahaha. My father's side of the family is Irish and we trace our ancestry directly back to the famine where my ancestor was pregnant with twins coming over to Canada. My dad was the most Canadian of Canadians watching hockey (Leafs fan) , CFL over NFL (never understood this), Watching the World Juniors, Watching Canada in the Olympics, HNIC, Murdoch Mysteries, Corner Gas, smoking metric tons of weed and drinking a shit ton of Canadian Alcohol. If my father was this generation and on social media he would have been Trudeau's personal propagandist for how great Canada was/is . The irony is that we are Irish Blackfoot Metis so he was embracing the culture and identity of our cultural colonizer and dominators. Starved by the famine to get here and starved by the culling/massacring of the Buffalo herd. Yeah thanks for the video been subbed for a long time.
@@chucklessavini1778 Yeah I said my father entire life was a bullshit lie and that he should have been more proud of being Irish, Blackfoot and Metis than embracing the racist supremacist "Canadian" culture and being poisoned by colonizers. Is your comprehension skill low or am I writing better English than you can understand. I remind you this is in my oppressors language.

We have the same problem in the U.S. with Canadians who think there American. They will never live up to our standards sadly. Always will be 2nd or 3rd to us sadly. Breaks my heart when they die in 75 degree Fahrenheit from heat exhaustion.
And the more time any person spends in Vancouver, the more they will have dark thoughts about getting an inheritance - the only way anyone can afford to live there.
My hope is the more Irish who think they are Canadians we can get in this country the closer we will come to getting rid of the monarchy who rule over us.

This roasts Vancouverites perfectly. Can't speak to how it roasts Irish who think they're Canadian, although it probably does that perfectly too. Glad you had a chance to film this *while* in Canada. :-) When you mentioned having a script ready, I didn't know you'd be able to shoot it before heading back. Is that Kitsilano Beach Park, btw?
I'm from England, moved to Vancouver 10 years ago - i do the exact opposite, i take the piss out of everything and anything Canadian... is that wrong? probably....
As a Canadian Woman ..with Irish Ancestry and I’ve been there,….I’d gladly trade places wit ya 🤣🤣🫡. Be Yourself lads,..don’t try to be a Canadian guy…they ain’t all that‼️
You should explore the other side of this coin... The Irish that have been living in Canada for ten plus years and have citizenship, have had kids here but refuse to admit they're Canadian now. They can be found at Donnellan's or Jonny Fox's socializing with other Irish Canadians who haven't managed to make a single friend without an Irish birth certificate or try any food that wasn't cooked exactly as me mum did when I was a kid. Deliberately discussing soccer for hours on end to repel any Canadian engagement. Taking wagers on whether or not this is a true pint. Or otherwise, longing to be back home except for the three weeks a year that they actually are.
As a person that has never been in Canada or Ireland, nor met people from there, this is spot on.
🤣
As a canadian who is not Irish, i approve of this video
As an unemployed American who is dating and living with a Vancouverite, I too, approve this video
As a Vancouverite who moved to Atlantic Canada, only to find people who talk like this friggin guy, I approve.
As a newfoundlander who speaks more like an Irishman than an actual Irishman... I approves uv dis messaje ɓ'ye!

Now we definitely need the video for Irish that think they’re Australian.
As a Canadian.
“Irish people who think they’re Canadian” sounds great.
I’d love to meet Irish Canadians.
Better to be in Canada than with all the recently arrived machete hefters.
Hopefully you visited Victoria while you were out there. A good friend of my mom is Irish, and she moved out there because it reminded her of home.
