The problem with Moose is that they DON'T flip over your car. They're so tall that you'll knock their knees out with the hood of your car which sends their 1000lb bodies through your windshield.
Drove by an accident that had happened a couple minutes earlier at latest, the night before last about 3 minutes from my house on the highway. Car was messed up bad, was up on the steep downslope on other side of outside ditch. Car was flattened but hadn't rolled, moose was sadly still alive on the side of road, Damn thing was huge. I don't think everyone in the car made it. Moose accidents are petrifying.
Canadians adapt readily to the temperature changes, as temperature is all relative. It is funny to see that in autumn when it goes from 25c down to 10c many Canadians will start dressing warmer, but in spring when it goes from -20 to 10c they will start wearing shorts and head back to the beaches. It is the same 10c temperature, but it is relative, compared to the temperature from the week before.
Her pronunciation of Dino is definitely just her, I am Canadian and I have never heard anyone pronounce it like that! I was equally as distracted as you when she said it. lol 😂Also, Moose without antlers are female. Only the male Moose have antlers.
Some people whom has been with french canadians sometime pick this french way of saying dinosaur. You never heard this because your so dispecable that no french canadian would be friend with you
From Ontario Canada here..When my kids and I went to Disney in Florida, the young lady that was working the little food cart was so impressed with my children and their manners (they were 10 and 7), that she proceeded to give us our items at no cost. She said we were the most polite family/children she had ever served and that deserved to be rewarded. I couldn’t get over it and thanked her even more! It’s definitely a Canadian thing to be so polite and appreciative of little things.
Damn that's great, i never got outside of my province (no money for that now). One day i hope that i will be able to travel and go outside of Canada for vacation. I'm from Quebec and where i live, no one know how to speak english even if they learn it at school. They have some like me that speaking english very well, but most of my community dont speaking it cuz they dont understand it and they dont wanna learn it. But yeah one day for sure i will go outside of Canada, i want to visit Japan. ^^
Vancouver Island here. When we went up island when our girls were 2 and 6, the server gave them ice cream after the meal as he was so shocked that our girls were so well behaved. He was dreading our table but was impressed after the fact
@@GHOSTERING I'm the same. I live in BC, and spent my whole life here. I've visited most of it, but have only left it once to visit my sister when she lived in nova Scotia. My other sister is pretty much forcing me to go to Japan in a few years (somewhere I always wanted to go but always put off due to cost). She actually went to Japan this year herself and purposely avoided places I'd like to go just so we could go together, so I really can't say no anymore.
@@phantomstarlight1366That is incredibly sweet. I hope you and your sister were/are able to go/go back. I don't have that kind of relationship with any of my siblings, but it is incredibly heartwarming to hear of others who have that. When you go to Japan just don't forget to learn how to say sorry, I don't speak Japanese, and how to ask where the bathroom is. Those are the first three things you should learn in any language 😄
Fun Fact : the Cajuns in Louisiana are actually displaced French-Canadians and Acadians (from the Maritimes) who were deported in 1755 as the British were trying to assimilate the French ... another interesting piece of history. I bet a ton of Americans don't know Louisiana was named after King Louis of France and used to be a French colony
I so agree it’s entertaining because the big Question is “ Why is he doing these Posts? “ Perhaps he needs to visit all ten Provinces and at least 1 f the 3 territories!
If every country act Canada, that would be Hell. I don't like nice people, especially pretentious nice people. they are not nice they want something from you. I like reasonable people.
As children travelling the states in summer, we would get asked if it was cold in Canada. We would laugh and tell them that we have central heating in our igloos.
Bagged milk is only sold in Ontario, Quebec, and possibly the Maritimes (pretty sure not at all in Newfoundland and Labrador & anywhere west of Ontario). In the 70s, Canada converted to the metric system. This meant that the dairy producers had to replace and resize all of their existing milk containers (they were all measured in quarts before). That's when they started using milk bags since they were easier and cheaper to adjust. In many parts of Canada, the bags became less popular and the jugs were cheaper to buy, so in western Canada, there are no more milk bags, they just use jugs, bottles, or cartons. In Ontario, jugs had a lot more restrictions than bags, so stores and producers mostly stuck to using bags. I live in Toronto, so I buy bagged milk which comes in 3 bags of around 1.33 litres all in a big pack, so you get 4 litres in total. These bags are also more environmentally efficient, as the plastic is thinner and uses up to 75% less plastic than a normal milk jug, and are lighter which means less energy is needed to ship them. By having three separate bags of milk when you buy it, you put one bag in a pitcher and cut the corner, and the other two are put in the fridge and stay fresh, as opposed to having all that milk in one big jug where it's all exposed to air and opened all at once.
I love having milk in bags. Like you said, instead of having it all open at once, you’re only opening a portion, so it stays fresh longer. And if someone accidentally drops the container, you have a lot less to clean up! Plus, it’s not so heavy and easier to control the pouring of it. I also find it’s easier to store in the fridge, instead of a giant container, full height, in a single spot, you have a smaller ones that can be shifted around onto short shelves or small spaces.
We didn’t switch to cartons until late 80s. Mind you we had our own Jersey for a decade but before that it was always bagged and cartons felt so modern. Lol But people would be adamant one tasted better than the others depending which they liked, bagged or carton.
I think the last time I can recall bagged milk in Saskatchewan is the early 90s. Oddly enough, they *do* have bagged milk in the US. Wisconsin based (locations in Eastern Minnesota and Iowa too) Kwik Trip carries milk in bags and have as long as I can remember.
Milk in bags where there before the conversion to metric, it replaced the old glass bottles that the milkman left at your front door in the morning (yes, I'm old). I remember when it was 3 one quart bags, but it's true that it was easier to adjust to metric.
i love that this random American guy is so interested about learning about Canada. as someone living in ottawa, your ottawa video was my favourite! bonne journée!
Moose are the wild animal that kill the most number of people in Canada. You should do a reaction to how big and dangerous moose are, I'm pretty sure there are some videos out there.
2 года назад+12
They don't kill on purpose though.. It's in the dangers of driving
And they are not invincible. Yes, most mooses will be able to walk away after a crash but you have to call the authorities so that they can find the animal and make sure it's fine.
@@Redjs90 Actually most of the time the authorities will look for it to hunt it down and put it to sleep. Most mooses die after those crashes but they just have the strength to run away after the hit.
Moose are not everywhere in Canada, but very common to find them standing in the middle of the roads where I live. I came over a hill to greet a giant momma and the CUTEST calf this summer!!! It was only 2-3 months old and eye level with the hood of my truck!! They will literally just stand there and stare at you with a look of disgust on their face 🤣 *edit: bears are also so common here that they put up signs for tourists and newcomers that say: "please don't feed the bears" I can't believe people need to be told that!! I also saw a juvenile male bald eagle up close at the dump yesterday, he was gorgeous! I love it here 💖🇨🇦
Similar in the NWT with the bison. Those f*ckers will mess up a semi, and most likely get up and walk away (mostly a joke). And yet, their babies are super cute and tourists (what we call ‘Southerners’) will want to get out of their cars to pet/get pictures with/of them. 🤦🏼♀️ Just, no.
Lol moose are definitely from where I grew up and they are CRAZY.. They will chase every vehicle they see, won't even be on the road either, they run out of the woods to chase them.. Those beasts are invincible for sure, they will get hit by and wreck a semi and walk away fine
Coffee Crisp chocolate bars and ketchup chips are indeed delicious. And if you've never had maple cookies, you should really try them! It's really not weird to have maple-flavored things. It's not like ranch. Maple is a type of sugar substitute after all, so it's no different from having brown sugar cookies or molasses cookies.
exactly, I was really confused that he though it was weird. You just gotta imagine it in the same realm as chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and like you said, molasse. All sweet things/flavors
My father got offered a job in the police because he was a great hockey player. He was given a uniform and a gun, and the accompanying salary, but didn't have to perform any police duties. All he had to do was play hockey and win games. That was in the 1950s, but it goes to show how important it is here.
Until the last couple years where I've lost my cold tolerance due to medical reasons, I used to wear tshirt, jeans, and sandals until -20C, even if there was a foot of snow. Now I'm stuck wearing "proper" clothes even when its like 10C. Drives me crazy actually.
A true story about polite deer. I once lived in a busy area right across from the hospital. Where I live there are a lot of deer and rabbits everywhere. I had a ground floor suite and as I was having breakfast and deer walked by my window. That was odd even here because there were no Woods nearby. I went out my balcony and saw the deer had two fawna. Mama dear let her babies down the sidewalk, they stood at the intersection to cross the street to the hospital. They waited for the light to change and when the walk man sign came on the mom led the deer cross LOL.
During hunting season, in Truro, Nova Scotia, the deer come out of the woods and take over the town. It would be extremely common to see them strolling down the sidewalks and using the crosswalks at appropriate times! Sorry, Not a Meme! 😜 Always enjoy your videos Tyler!
a herd of deer were crossing the road in the middle of nowhere in complete darkness, and there was a truck pulled over on the opposite lane facing towards me with blazing lights, and I was blinded so I slowed down and all of a sudden drove between two massive deer crossing the road, i was SO relieved I didnt put a deer through my grille in the Rocky's.
1. I am Canadian and have never even heard of maple water until now. 2. The moose are a road hazard. Drivers run into them in NL on highways, especially at dusk when moose are on the move and will unexpectedly run in front of cars on the road. The moose usually dies in the collision and the car is wrecked. Often the people inside are injured or killed as well. The sign is probably a road sign warning motorists to be vigilant and watch for moose. 3. Bull moose have antlers. Females (cows) do not. 4. Tim Horton's is basically a donut/coffee shop and is ubiquitous in Canada. 5. The use of "eh" in Canadian language is area specific - it's not commonly used in some provinces. 6. Newfoundland is Canadian, but very different from the rest of Canada. Check out Newfoundland music by Great Big Sea or more classics by Dick Nolan. Listen to "We'll Rant and We'll Roar" or to "I'se the B'y" for traditional music. "Saltwater Joys" is a beautiful song by Buddy Wassisname and the Other Fellas. We also have unique dialects and a fair sense of humour in Newfoundland. There is a dictionary of Newfoundland English. Try listening to some of Rick Mercer, for a sample of fairly modern Newfoundland humour. Also, 'Tales from Pigeon Inlet' by Ted Russell is a sample of Newfoundland stories that are worth a listen. These things are first Newfoundland, but also Canadian. Like the USA, Canada is diverse and, like Alaska is different from the other states, so Newfoundland is different from other provinces in Canada. SO........ Most of these "Canadian stereotypes" do not apply to Newfies at all. But, the point is that the cultural uniqueness and diversity in Canada is vast, so stereotyping Canadians simply cannot be accomplished. Usually, those who attempt to do so are stereotyping Ontarians or Quebecers and extending that stereotype as if it applies to the rest of this country.
How do you like your coffee? Crisp! That was the inaugural ad campaign for the bar when I was a kid … and I’m no kid now! And the bar kinda-sorta tastes like sweet, creamy coffee. And chocolate!
It was not the inaugural ad campaign. It is simply the first one you remember. You have taken the word 'inaugural', which was referencing the candy bars ad campaign history, and applied the word incorrectly to yourself. 👍
@@elizabethsullivan7176 I was born in 1953. I remember when the bar was first introduced, in black and white, on TV. It became my father’s favourite treat. I won’t turn down a Coffee Crisp ever!!
As a Canadian I can say that yes many Canadians can handle the cold weather, I can go out in shorts and a tshirt in -20C weather easily. That being said when I go to the south (ie Texas, AZ) I can NOT handle the heat at all. I've been told the cold weather makes your blood thicker and that's the reason, not sure if that's true
it is and it isn't, when a human is raised in a cold climate we instinctively develop a ability to regulate the blood vessel in our extremities where it will slow blood flow just enough to keep hands and feet above freezing by turning on blood flow briefly.
For the milk you can buy a pack that has 2 or 3 bags of milk so it takes up less space in the fridge and yes it's easier to recycle. Also when you get milk delivered it makes it easier with bags. For the maple water, it's not maple-flavored, it's actually maple sap boiled down and mixed in :)
Also, 4L (about a gallon, for the Americans) of milk comes in 3 sealed bags, rather than 1 big jug - so the unopened bags don't spoil as fast. Plus you can get a pitcher with a cute cow on it to put it in. :)
Ieeew micro-plastic (bags) in the milk. It's much easier to puncture too, than cartons esp if you drop it/them.😢 I don't drink it anymore.... But even so. Cartons are much better!😊
Milk in plastic bags were introduced because of the metric system. For the maple water, it is the water that comes directly out of the tree (tree sap, which has a unique taste and is really good) then it is boiled to become a syrup
I'm québecois and I truly hope my observation about winter attire won't offend any of my Canadian brethren. Never in my life have I gone out in winter not properly dressed for the season, at least not intentionally or while sober. But going out in the freezing cold underdressed truly is a stereotype québecois have toward Anglophones, especially college/university students. I lived a couple years in Kingston, ON, and saw this regularly from Queen's University students. I've been living in the Eastern Townships in Québec for the last 25 years, where there are many Anglo towns and where Bishop's University is, and there's a genuine stereotype about students walking around in the dead cold of winter in shorts and Birkenstocks. I've seen this both here and while I was living in Ontario. Obviously, this does not necessarily make it true for all English Canadians but around here, it's enough to fuel stereotypes it seems. But in all fairness, this phenomenon seems to be spreading to the French Canadian youth as well, given that socks and not rolled up pants aren't cool. God, writing this post makes me feel old lol
Born in Toronto 82 years ago. Moved to San Francisco with nursing at 21 and met and married an AMERICAN(57 years and never went back except to visit. My sister still says”eh”,I believe Tim Horton was a hockey player,Canadians really are,for the most part,courteous and I have always hated camping and cold weather! Thank you so much for doing this series! Reminds me what I miss about Canada!
I think it’s lovely that you want to learn about Canada and other countries. Shows an open mind, willing to learn and I really hope that you have an opportunity to visit all the countries you are learning about
I don’t give a hoot in hell whether you could be my grandson or not but yours is definitely one of the most informative and entertaining channels I’ve ever come across on RUclips. Just keep on rockin’!
As others have commented Maple water is the tree sap that runs in the spring. You can boil that down to make maple syrup (you'll need 40 litres to make 1 litre of syrup). We would normally use maple water in cocktails, or in baked beans where you boil the beans in the maple water and it imparts a maple flavour to the beans. Add some salt to maple water and inject it into a roast to make a delicious pot roast with maple flavoured meat. The extensions for maple products are endless. BTW maple sap changes flavour as it progresses through the season. Early in the run the flavour is very light and sweet. As the tree wakes up the sap becomes grainy with more complex "plant flavours" until it becomes sour with plant taste which is not good for syrup. The late season syrup is called "Sirop poteau" or telephopne pole syrup as it is more vegetable than sweet. This type of syrup is perfect for flavouring meat or sauces that goes with a savoury rather than a topping for pancakes.
To me (french canadian) sirop de poteau means fake syrup, like aunt jemima stuff made with corn syrup. So the stuff any normal canadian would NEVER buy lol
Hey like your episodes I find them funny as a Canadian, and the bagged milk reactions are hilarious! it was actually developed to save on shipping costs as opposed to fitting 4 jugs in a milk crate the company can now fit 5 bags in a crate each bag holds 3 smaller bags in it that you put into a holder to pour, the bag and jug both hold the same amount of milk.
I used to harvest maple water for a sugar shack which was owned by a family member (QC) when I was a kid. We would put maple water into a large reservoir on a sleigh pulled by a few horses. It was a lot of work, but unlike for other physical work, we didn't bring our own water since we could just drink maple water directly! XD pretty sure not many people had this experience.
Beaver tails are amazing and you can essentially have them however you want. The picture just shows some ways you can eat them. If I'm not mistaken, the OG beaver tail is literally just the dough with cinnamon sugar. I could be wrong and that may just be the first one that I had. But yeah, top the dough with anything you want. Whatever floats your boat.
I live along the lake and one of the biggest grumbling from drivers is having to constantly stop for the Canadian Geese crossing the road. Depending on the number of geese crossing, it sometimes does cause a traffic jam with dozens of cars waiting for them to complete their slow walk across the road. On occasion some drivers will blow their horns which is hysterical because it doesn’t faze the geese. LOL
As I remember ketchup chips (haven't had them in ages), they taste like salt and vinegar chips with a bit less bite and a hint of tomato. I loved them as a kid but not as much as I got older. Dill Pickle chips, now, are a Canadian flavour that's really good. I miss those. Salt, vinegar and a considerable amount of dill flavouring. If you enjoy pickles you'd probably enjoy the chips.
I disagree on your description of dill pickle chips, it's much less tangy than the salt and vinegar ones (I literally never could eat the salt and vinegar chips as my tongue would hurt too much). I still love ketchup chips and dill pickle are a close second
You should do a reaction video to the arrogant worms. A Canadian comedy musical troupe. They're hilarious and every Canadian knows at least one of their songs by heart
When I first arrived in Canada (from a tropical country), I was super bundled up. When I had been here for a few years, skirts and tights in negative weather…because fashion. Lol.
Yes, I have Jamaican friends that immigrated to Canada knowing that it would be a colder climate, but could never have imagined how cold. You need to dress for the cold in early winter and late winter when the temperatures may be minus 5 to -10 degrees Celcius. When mid winter temperatures sink to minus 30 to 35, or minus 40 with wind chill factor, the cold is painful as it bites you in the ass when you go out of the door and skin can freeze in 15 seconds.
The people who started Beaver Tails used to live across the street from me. It was just a small operation then, one store and running the canal snack kiosks in winter. I am so amazed to see it as such a big thing now.
Have you seen to opening ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics? It was a parade of (fun) Canadian stereotypes, we are very fortunate to have good ones (mostly)
I am Canadian and have never said “eh”. It’s mostly spoken in western Canada vs the east. I speak French but my husband can’t speak a word. Maple water, is just the sap that hasn’t been reduced into syrup. It’s not maple syrup added to water. A coffee crisp is delicious. Love watching your reactions.
Right I never heard "eh" in Quebec until I made friends with a guy from... Manitoba? Somewhere in the prairies haha. I never knew it was a real thing until then :P
huge here in the prairies. we're also heavily native populated so that could be why, the stereotypical canadian accent sounds similar to an indigenous accent. we natives say "eh" a lot lol
I used to say "eh" a LOT until I started using the internet. When it was pointed out to me online that I said it, I ended up avoiding saying it. I still do sometimes, but its not that often anymore.
In Saskatchewan, Canada, July is the only month that hasn't had a recorded snow fall. We have had snow fall in the first week in June, and in the last week of August. Not in the same year, and not all the time, nor does the snow last very long. But it has happened, and is generally a surprise when it does.
As others have pointed out, maple sap is boiled into syrup, which may be further boiled to obtain a very thick syrup drizzled upon snow called taffy, and this can be further boiled to obtain maple sugar which, once cooled, is hard enough to kill a man with (same as unrefined sugar, actually). Note that maple water is known to be VERY laxative, but not other maple products.
I used to live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and there are a lot of deer that come into the residential areas at the edge of the city. I have personally seen a group of deer wait at the corner until the walk light came on and they walked through the crosswalk to go to the park on the other side of the road. Blew my mind.
Several Deer sleep in my yard and prune my Shrubs here in Winnipeg, the city looks like a low flat elm forest with tall buildings occasionally poking up, I have had to supervise indoor recess because a rutting moose had taken over the playground. I have stayed in hotels with “please consider our room cleaning staff- no deer butchering in the bathtub- please ask at the front desk for access to the slaughter shed.” For hunters. Her accent is albertamerican. It’s October 4th and snow started today in a town north of here. University students west little canvas shoes at 40C below waiting for the bus. Death by fashion. At a hotel in North Carolina a police officer asked us to head inside, so we did, thanked her and she asked if we were Canadian. No idea how she figured it out, or why she wanted us inside. I found folks in the states very polite and exuberant.
@@keithlightminder3005 I've always loved the urban forest aspect of Winnipeg. I used to work security (specifically parking patrol) at the HSC so I'd end up on the top level of the parking garages multiple times a day. Third or fourth level up is perfect to show off the urban forest
The thing about the cold is: You get acclimatized to it, just like everywhere else. I would feel just as uncomfortable where you live during the summer as you would coming here in the winter. The first winter in the prairies will be your worst, but after that, it will only be the extremes that will be as uncomfortable. We also quickly learn to dress for the weather. And the trick there is, layers. "You can always take a jacket/sweater off if you are too hot, but you can't magically make a sweater appear if you are too cold." Personally, anything between -25C and 25C (-13F to 77F) is fine, but anything outside of that gets uncomfortable.
@@frogsmoker714 central saskatchewan, but you were close enough. Lol. As I once said to some online gaming friends from Texas: " When it is -40, I can always light a fire to get warm. When it is 105 in the shade, here is a glass of water ... go ahead and make an ice cube. "
I grew up in Montreal, where winters would get as cold as -25°c (or more) not even counting the humidity and no, I never got used to it... don't know anyone there who has
Canada, Southern Ontario, Toronto, Vancouver areas are some of the very few places in the world where you can go skiing one day and play golf the next. I did it many times in my youth.
Our family was on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris when a small child ran into us. The mom apologized profusely. My husband asked her where she lived in Canada. She asked how she knew she was in Canada. He told her she said eh.
I’ve never subscribed to a channel faster than I did after watching 2 of your videos, it’s so nice to see an American who actually knows, and listens about Canadian things
I've never heard of Dunkaroos, and I'm Canadian. Also, yeah, the moose danger sign is very real, in pretty much every province and territory except maybe PEI. Also "dee-no" is a Flintstones character. We say "die-no-saur"
As a Canadian who has always lived in Ontario (Toronto, Windsor and now Cambridge), I have never heard about maple syrup water. Then again, I have never looked for it either. Beware of moose and deer signs are used in areas where they populate. The word "about", I would think would be said by Newfoundlanders. Sometimes even Canadians have a hard time understanding what they are saying. I have always thought accents from different US states are cool. Have always thought Canadians, in Ontario at least, have no accent. By the way Tyler, I think you would fit right in in Canada.
I can think of 4 different accents just in Ontario: the franco-ontarian accent typical of northeastern Ontario, the Irish sounding accent of the Ottawa Valley, the southern Ontario accent typical of the Golden Horseshoe area that is most prevalent and the US mid-western sounding accent typical of southwestern Ontario.
@@nickgooderham2389 Wow good to know. Sounds like you have been in more places in Ontario than me and have had the opportunity to meet a lot more people than I. Am just your average Canadian now living in a small city. With all the other nationalities here, I don't notice any other accents. You must have an exciting life.
@@tomcatmeow69 Wow never met someone who was Portuguese living in Newfoundland. Suppose there are those of different nationalities living there too. Can't imagine the different accents.
Yes! Much love from Ontario! Also! I did a bit of research for you and you might be surprised to know that there is a company currently in Texas, Karbach Brewing Co., that has their own brand of Ranch Water Hard Seltzer. They are expanding into Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado and Tennessee. 🙂❤
Omg! I'm dying to correct/add to some of what she said but did you know there are character limits to comments? Lol my biggest issue was when she called Canada a cultural "melting pot". We're actually more of a cultural "mosaic" because we accept different cultures whole cloth and add their individualism to our own. Like a mosaic that takes many lovely pieces and brings them all together to make an overall beautiful image. I think a "melting pot" would be more akin to Americans in that they mix other cultures into their own by breaking down what makes them unique and turns them into the "beige" homogeneous culture of America. I think both are great systems and suit both our countries nicely. Oh and p.s. Canada is the second largest country by landmass in the world. You could put 14 Frances in this land of ours! (Not that anyone measures that way lol) AND we have a tenth of the population of the USA. So, yeah, Canada's really big. 🤔
Some provinces have no identity ... mostly Asians ... we have a culture and history but immigrants do not care . Toronto does not define the identity of Canada ... I think Canadians should respect their heritage first and understand our history ... unfortunately Canada is like USA people are watching violent, dram , racist movies from USA , watch the same TV shows and they think they are polite but they are not .. they are just talking behind your back and sorry does not mean anything ... it is like an habit ...
'88 Winter Olympics in Calgary. My brother and I got to go to bobsledding with one of our Aunts and Uncles. To see tourists stare at the man in shorts and a t-shirt walking with a hot chocolate made 10 year old me smile. Welcome to winter with sun and a Chinook wind (warm breeze during cold weather). So normal.
Hey Tyler, a suggestion for a video to watch, "Tom Brokaw explains Canada". It is from the Winter Olympics held in Vancouver a few years back, it has some good info you will like, and it is only about 7 minutes
I am Canadian, and that was a fun video! Love your personality! You definitely would fit right in here in canada! This video narrator is hilarious! Thank-you for great work! Cheers 😊
I’m a Janitor and I have put up the do not flush sign. Top list is serious while bottom part is for laughter so you remember what was written and hope that you don’t clog the toilet. Which can get costly and damaging floor and time consuming to clean up to
Maple water isn't some maple flavoured water lol. It's the raw liquid that comes out of the maple tree. The liquid that they boil to make the syrup is call maple water. At least in Québec wich is 'eau d'érable' that literally means 'maple water'. EDIT: And yeah it's delicious. We were drinking it straight from the bucket hanged on the trees when I was a kid.
In the 70s had a friend who driving a big old Cadillac up north in Canada, a large moose cross the road as he hit the Cadillac he totaled the Cadillac, got up and kept on going. The Cadillac was totaled and they were big cars in those days
🇨🇦love that you are doing this! Thank you for taking the time to explore Canada. Keep up the good work!!! Watching from BC’s capital, Victoria, on Vancouver Island. ❤️🇨🇦
There are huge differences between Canadians from province to province. It’s truly amazing. Would be great to have you over. Enjoy your videos, I laugh at you & us. Take care eh 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
The moose sign is so normal north of Edmonton due to so many people dying by crashing into them, so that night time speed limits are reduced. In the late 1980s in Alberta we had both milk in cartons and bags, but bags went away since people hated them, have not seen milk in bags in any western Canada since.
In the northern part of Canada we wear plaid, because it’s like -100 with the wind chill and plaid is so warm. And in the north we are surrounded by bush. It all depends on where you’re from 😊
I have three solid coloured flannel shirts that I live in each winter (not all at once lol, but on an insanely cold day, don't challenge me cuz I'll do it)
As a Canadian, I love watching your videos. Sometimes I even learn things about my own country by watching this channel. I love ketchup chips! It's one of my fave flavors of chips next to dill pickle and all dressed. I've never seen bagged milk in Regina. I only see the cartons and jugs in the stores. We've got a cool Prime Minister here in Canada. When he first won the election in 2015, his speech made my parents laugh when he was talking about "sunny ways". My mom was like, who did we elect? lol! I admit I've never tried maple water. Never knew we even had it in Canada. Will have to try it if I ever see it now. I used to be tough during the winter when I was a teenager and wore a windbreaker on the walk to school. I lived across the street from a school though, so it wasn't far to walk. Once I became an adult, I couldn't stand the cold and due to my inherited Reynaud's disease, I always need ski mitts and hand and toe warmers every winter. The moose in the yard is probably a female moose as I think only the male moose grow antlers. Yes, Canadians do say sorry a lot. Sometimes I say sorry to furniture and actually say ouch even though I'm not hurt, though the furniture might be. lol! I still see Kinder surprise in the stores here. The Easter stock is coming into the stores now, so there are a lot of those around. I've never had any issues with choking on the Kinder eggs as a kid. I mean, I knew not to eat the chocolate before opening it up and finding the plastic tube with the toy inside first.
11:43 Collisions with moose are no joke. They can go right through your windshield and crush you to death. I never have hit one but I have seen them on the side of the road, or crossing the road, plenty of times. Just think the danger from deer crossing the road but multiplied by a significantly larger body mass.
Here in Colorado elk,deer, and cows in the open range areas are something that people have to watch out for. Hitting one totals you car. Death is not unheard of.
When living in the Rockies, my ex and I were driving down a logging road and came upon a moose in the middle of the road who took exception to our presence (we did not creep up on him but stopped quite far away). The minute he looked at us and started to move threateningly toward us, I had to quickly put the car into reverse (I drove a standard) and back up as quickly as I could. You do NOT mess with moose.
As a Canadian I've never bought or saw someome buy a bag of milk. Also the whole Maple thing is odd to me. I use maple syrup maybe once every 5 years on pancakes. I've had maple flavored snacks like donuts or cookies, but I've never heard of maple water. Also, where I live Moose are deadly. Not only can they kill you by stomping you but they kill people every year on highway collisions. They're MASSIVE
I like how you went from from disappointed of the "canadian" accent not being as steep as you thought to saying Canada is a big place and very diverse. The place is big enough that you'll hear people say aboot, aboat and about. You hear different accents depending on the province, decent and all other kinds of stuff
I lived and grew up in BC on Vancouver Island. For a short while many years later as an adult I lived in Newfoundland. While camping in the middle of nowhere across the country in Newfoundland someone asked me if I knew a guy buy the name of John from BC. Interestingly it turned out it was my brother and they had worked together for years in Northern BC. (We have a unique last name) So sometimes Canada is in fact small in regards to people we know. This has happened a few times especially in certain circles.
I’m from Sault Ste Marie. *Everybody* knows someone from The Soo. My cousin’s Newfoundlander husband’s university friend wound up marrying one of our other cousins - whom we haven’t met - in BC.
The world is smaller than we think. Many years ago, my brother got engaged to a girl from South Africa. Our next door neighbour went on a holiday in London, visiting family. As she sat on the bus one day, she struck up a conversation with the lady sitting next to her. Turned out to be my brother's future mother-in-law.
I was around when bagged milk was introduced. The dairies had switched from glass jugs to plastic, but the plastic jugs shrank when they were washed. So they introduced single-use bags. That was the explanation we were given then, though you hear all sorts of other explanations now. They may all be right, too.
Plastic milk jugs not only shrank when washed, people often used them as general containers for things like waste motor oil and other toxins, before returning them to the store for their deposit. The standard washing process, before refilling with milk didn't necessarily produce a clean jug. The automated packaging machinery used for bagged milk can fill the bags twice as fast as the machines filling jugs. The three plastic bags of milk, contained in one outer bag reduces to less than one square inch of plastic when recycled, therefore less plastic than jugs. Milk bags are very durable and rarely leak or puncture contrary to what many believe.
@@markreaume With a horse-drawn wagon. There's something I'm glad is gone. Every intersection had a pile of horse droppings and a gathering of all the neighbourhood dogs.
Please react to the Newfoundlanders and their accent. My family as far as I know all come from Newfoundland and the dialectic there is very interesting. Also you can get Screeched in where, even if you are not from Newfoundland, you can become an official Newfoundlander. It’s an absolutely incredible province
We have been to all of the provinces. I have to say, Newfoundland and PEI were our favourites! The laid back feeling you get in both provinces is refreshing! Whilst in NFLD, literally everyone was so friendly. The music on the east coast is pretty amazing too! NFLD even has huge icebergs!
For the record, maple water is not maple flavoured water it's the water that drips from the maple trees that then gets turned into maple syrup and it is drinkable. It taste sweet and like maple.
Ooh, ketchup chips!! I love ketchup chips, especially by Old Dutch, which is a purely Canadian brand, and my favourite chip brand. I'm in BC, and we used to have bagged milk, but it hasn't been here in BC for a long time. My mom (RIP) used to love Coffee Crisp, and they're really good. Not my favourite, but they are quite good. Yes, many of us Canadians will spend time outside in almost any kind of weather, or else most of us would never spend time outside most of the year. My part of BC is temperate and we can be outside most of the year, but even we have tonnes of snow sometimes. Yes, hockey is a hugely popular thing here in Canada, although not all of us are into it. I'm a die hard Canadian, but I'm not a hockey fan. *gasp!!* I'm rare this way. Maple water? That must be an Eastern Canadian thing, probably out in Ontario. Bring it here to BC!! Some of my favourite candies are maple flavoured. We don't produce maple syrup here in my part of BC, since we rarely get cold enough, and I don't think we have the right kind of maple trees, but we do love it here, too. Bird clocks aren't just a Canadian thing. I know people elsewhere in the world that have them and other clocks like that. Apologising is truly Canadian, and I've even apologised to myself if I've done something wrong. True!! haha Moose can be quite aggressive. They won't flip over a car, but they will cause massive damage to a vehicle, even buses. I've never seen that Do Not Flush sign, although it is funny. I've worn tshirts and cropped pants or skirts out in colder weather. Yes, we do develop a special ability to adjust to the cold. We have to. haha But, seriously, a body can acclimate to almost any weather, and some people - like me - run warmer, and can stand a lot of cold. Like that one guy she mentioned, I've eaten ice cream outside in cold weather. To me, ice cream is a year round thing. I know lots of police officers, mostly Mounties, and most of them I know, as well as lots of others, are very helpful to people and will help people out in times of need. The dinosaur sign - I pronounce "dinosaur" like you do, Tyler. Maybe she was saying it like Dino from the Flinstones. Anyway, the sign might be from Drumheller, Alberta, where there are large amounts of dinosaur fossils and is well known for that. I've heard that they have a lot of signage with dinosaurs on them. Female moose don't grow antlers. I agree with her that people not acknowledging a "thank-you" or grunting at it is rude. Just say "You're welcome" if you don't know what else to say. Beer drinking is quite common among Canadians, and even those of us like me who don't drink at all are very proud of our national brands. "Eh" isn't said by every Canadian, but a lot of us do. Not all the time, but we do say it. "Aboot" is definitely just a stereotype. She said that Canadians say "aboat," but not here in BC. We say "about" very much like those in Washington State and Oregon and northern California do. The mountain she lived on in Burnaby isn't really in the wildnerness, although it's closer than most of the rest of Greater Vancouver. Every part of Canada is different. Here in my town an hour or so east of Vancouver, things are different than in Vancouver. I love Canadian money. The colours are so pretty, and I love our coins, especially the loonie and the toonie. Kinder Surprise - she maybe forgot that Kinder is a brand from Europe - German, maybe? So it has German on it. Sorry for the long comment! I just have a lot to say about my country. haha :) Some of the things in the woman's video are just memes and aren't necessarily Canadian. They just happen to go along with Canadian stereotypes, and they are funny. :)
A policeman (State Trooper in New Hampshire)💙 literally lifted the rear end of my brother's car back onto the road when he pulled into too much crushed stone on the shoulder and sank down. It was awesome. I'm Canadian, 70 Years old and that happened when I was 14 but I still remember how impressed I was.💙
Also, Tyler: I know 'ketchup chips' sounds weird to many Americans, but it's actually like a sweet and zingy tomato spice. I think 'ketchup' evokes a cold goopy taste, like the condiment. I think the flavour itself would be pretty popular if presented to Americans without the ketchup name. Most of our other chip flavours are pretty equally beloved between the two countries, like nacho or cool ranch Doritos, Cheezies, Funyuns etc.
There absolutely is something to developing thicker skin in the cold. I worked outside (in Ottawa) for a few winters and the first -10 of the season is very different from the last. In the first one you're rushing to get your gloves and toque on and by the last, you're taking your jacket off cause it's so warm out.
I agree, right now in NB it has changed from summer to fall weather and I noticed over the years, the change on temp. is worst in fall than any time of year. I survive the winter just fine, it is the hot summer temp to fall that makes me shiver.
So true! The same temp in fall & spring -- fall we’re grabbing sweaters, scarves, hats, etc & in spring, shedding all that and coming out in shorts and tees. As an adult now, I see really cold temps in winter & think “bundle up!” Pile on big puffy coat, massive scarf, hat, long wristed gloves, etc. and by the time I reach transit, I’m pulling off alllll the layers and unzipping my coat, regretting it all. 😆 Last year I only pulled out my actual winter coat two or three times, sticking with my “fall” weight coat…which also remained unzipped. LOL We definitely get used to the colder temps.
I live in the maritimes and bagged milk is a big thing…not as big as it was in like the 90’s/early 2000’s, but dairy is a huge thing and bagged milk was invented in the 60’s to replace glass bottles as a cheaper and more efficient way of consumer production. Now it is much more common to buy milk in plastic jugs or cartons.
Oh my word, I know the person who took the photo at 7:20. Maybe all Canadians really do know each other! I can verify that the weather was really like that- three seasons all at once that day.
Bagged milk was introduced well before that. I'm so old I remember it. We were told the early plastic milk jugs shrank when washed, so they introduced single-use bags.
Regarding maple flavoured water… It’s probably just the raw sap. To make maple syrup, you boil it down to about 1/30 the volume that comes from the tree, which has just a hint of maple flavour.
Just so you know, maple water isn't flavored water. It's unprocessed maple sap. It's what come straight from maple trees and is used to make maple sirup by boilling it.
You've come a long way with these Canadian videos - thanks for spending your time with us :) What would you say are the biggest breakthroughs, suprises, or realisations you've come to about Canada?
- Bags of milk are very common in Quebec. We also have the 1 and 2 liter quarts. One 4 liter pouch (about one of your gallons) contains three 1.33 liter bags. Very practical for the families, easier to use than a one gallon bottle. - Coffee Crisp bars are sooooooooooooooooo good. They are the best. ❤❤❤ - For the weather, in Quebec, we've seen some 15 and 20 degrees drop in a day. - Yep! Playing and watching hockey and baseball. And now, playing soccer (I was a soccer coach for 15 years). - When I was in primary and high school, every springs, we went by school bus and had a day at the Maple Shacks. We would walk in the woods and drink the maple water(sap) (not water flavored with maple syrup) directly from the buckets attached to the tree sap spigot inserted in the trees. Very good. - Hey! We developed thicker isolating skin to cope with the freezing weather... 🤣 - We say "dinosaur", not "deenosaur". - The female moose does not grow antlers. The male loses his antlers every summer. They start to grow new ones the next spring. - We also have rude Canadians. Sorry to disappoint you World. 😅 - Yes, we do (not me anymore) drink a lot of beer, especially during a hockey game. - No, we don' all live in the wild. We can be wild though, but the good and fun kind of wild. - I never wore plaid, never will. Cheers! 😉
French is not actually mandatory, across the country, although it might be in some places. I was in French Immersion which means lots of my classes were in French instead of English, which is different than just taking one class about French (she probably took the one class). I also moved around during my school years and different areas did it differently. Science and math were in French in one area, then I moved and they were in English but P.E. was in French. Also the second place started French Immersion later (grade 7) vs when I started in Kindergarten elsewhere. As you'll learn, not much is actually consistent across Canada.
It was mandatory for me from grade 4 till 9. At grade 9 I dropped it because up until that point all they really seemed to teach in french class was pizza ingredients. As a result I can read most of the french side of our labels, but its useless for anything else.
We did have mandatory french in elementary school and junior high school but really the requirement was a second language, so if your school had something else, usually by grade 11, you could take that instead. But it wasn't required for graduation. By grade 9 or 10 we seemed to be expected to understand videos and read the Little Prince. I guarantee I could not do that
I grew up in Northwestern Ontario. We sorta "get used to the cold", but also we just accept it is cold and also accept that we are going to suffer. As a teenager, I walked to school in just jeans and a light winter jacket and shoes. I froze my ass off because I didn't want to bundle up properly. The water/tears in my eyes would freeze my eyelashes/eyes shut. This was when it was -40°C, which is equal to -40°F, btw. My thighs, ears, nose and toes would be getting frostbite but I was "too cool" to wear winter clothing. That being said, when it is about 0°C to -10°C and it is warming up in the spring I have put on shorts and a long sleeve shirt to "Enjoy" the "warm" spring day.
Yes, toilets get easily clogged. Signs are in almost every washroom asking people not to flush femine products, tissues, paper towel, etc. So this sign has a few add-ons for a laugh.
you can expect more moose and deer along the roadside and in the ditches days after when the roads had been salted and plowed. they can get spooked and run across the road. I travel on roads with deer in the area. I am not near moose. Coffee Crisp is my all-time favourite chocolate bar. I enjoy your videos and the fact that you embrace the topic of all things Canadian. very positive and great personality
Maple water is actually simply pure, unrefined maple sap. Delicious. Also, it's not really sap but a special type of liquid maple trees produce in spring and fall when temperatures vary between freezing and non-freezing. Yeah, weird stuff. Still tasty and delicious en tabarnack.
Hopefully someone mentioned that female moose do not have a rack of horns, they are referred to as cow moose. Only the males have impressive huge rack of horns. I love your channel thank you for being sweet about us Canadians. Thank you very much. Keep on keeping on!
I worked for the company that developed the bags for milk. I’m pretty sure back in late 60’s recycling wasn’t a big thing and people didn’t want the inconvenience of taking plastic milk jugs back to the store and store probably didn’t want to deal with them either.
@@sylvaindupuis5595 in the late sixties in Winnipeg it was bags or plastic jugs. Cartons were available but not ubiquitous. Glass bottles hadn't been a thing in the city since the 50s, though rural areas had them much longer.
No, recycling really wasn't a thing back then. Bags used a very small amount of plastic compared to jugs so they were cheaper to manufacture and, yes, easier to throw out in the trash since they didn't take up much space in the trash bag either
Im serious here. In the richer part of Victoria, called Oak Bay, there is literally a picture of a mother deer and her 2 babies waiting at a light to turn green so they could cross. Bizarre but true.
Bagged milk is more of an older generation thing or for people with big families. You need to buy a pitcher made for those bags so they don't spill after being opened. You just need to cut the corner of the bag after putting it in pitcher. They are usually sold in packs of three and are overall cheaper than other options like cartons or plastic jugs.
bagged milk first appeared long before plastic recycling was a thing...the alternatives were bulky plastic jugs, cartons, and glass bottles. The bags made a much lower impact on our landfill sites
Bagged milk isn't just for big families. Bagged milk consists of three smaller bags packaged within a larger outer bag. If your single, you can use just one inner bag portion and freeze the other two bags until you need them. It's cheaper and you don't need to buy milk as often. lol
Hail is definitely a thing on the prairies. In Alberta, the Insurance Board hires planes to seed clouds with silver iodide. This forces a larger number of smaller diameter hailstones to fall and saves them lots of $$ on insurance payouts for crop and property damage. It doesn’t always work, but it saves them enough money annually to keep paying for the program.
The problem with Moose is that they DON'T flip over your car. They're so tall that you'll knock their knees out with the hood of your car which sends their 1000lb bodies through your windshield.
Yup, they'll even take out a transport truck.
I’m alive because my car went under a moose. If I was driving the truck I have now I definitely wouldn’t be here to type this.
Yup, dont underestimate how absolutely HUGE a moose is. 100% of the time, your car is totalled. You're blessed if you survive.
Drove by an accident that had happened a couple minutes earlier at latest, the night before last about 3 minutes from my house on the highway. Car was messed up bad, was up on the steep downslope on other side of outside ditch. Car was flattened but hadn't rolled, moose was sadly still alive on the side of road, Damn thing was huge. I don't think everyone in the car made it. Moose accidents are petrifying.
@@chronicdose That's awful! I'm so sorry! 😓
Canadians adapt readily to the temperature changes, as temperature is all relative. It is funny to see that in autumn when it goes from 25c down to 10c many Canadians will start dressing warmer, but in spring when it goes from -20 to 10c they will start wearing shorts and head back to the beaches. It is the same 10c temperature, but it is relative, compared to the temperature from the week before.
Ken Evans: Lol…..👍🏻 So true.
I refuse to give up on my flip flops until the snow flies. And I'm not talking a skift, I mean some real snow.
So true
Exactly!
Her pronunciation of Dino is definitely just her, I am Canadian and I have never heard anyone pronounce it like that! I was equally as distracted as you when she said it. lol 😂Also, Moose without antlers are female. Only the male Moose have antlers.
Not if it's the time of the year that they've shed their antlers
Some people whom has been with french canadians sometime pick this french way of saying dinosaur. You never heard this because your so dispecable that no french canadian would be friend with you
Sorry that you're a mor_n.
Fred Flinstones pet was Dino ... pronounced Dean... o
@mariposavioleta9007 even so only bull (male)moose grow antlers man just like deer

From Ontario Canada here..When my kids and I went to Disney in Florida, the young lady that was working the little food cart was so impressed with my children and their manners (they were 10 and 7), that she proceeded to give us our items at no cost. She said we were the most polite family/children she had ever served and that deserved to be rewarded. I couldn’t get over it and thanked her even more! It’s definitely a Canadian thing to be so polite and appreciative of little things.
Damn that's great, i never got outside of my province (no money for that now). One day i hope that i will be able to travel and go outside of Canada for vacation. I'm from Quebec and where i live, no one know how to speak english even if they learn it at school. They have some like me that speaking english very well, but most of my community dont speaking it cuz they dont understand it and they dont wanna learn it. But yeah one day for sure i will go outside of Canada, i want to visit Japan. ^^
Vancouver Island here. When we went up island when our girls were 2 and 6, the server gave them ice cream after the meal as he was so shocked that our girls were so well behaved. He was dreading our table but was impressed after the fact
@@GHOSTERING I'm the same. I live in BC, and spent my whole life here. I've visited most of it, but have only left it once to visit my sister when she lived in nova Scotia.
My other sister is pretty much forcing me to go to Japan in a few years (somewhere I always wanted to go but always put off due to cost). She actually went to Japan this year herself and purposely avoided places I'd like to go just so we could go together, so I really can't say no anymore.
@@phantomstarlight1366That is incredibly sweet. I hope you and your sister were/are able to go/go back.
I don't have that kind of relationship with any of my siblings, but it is incredibly heartwarming to hear of others who have that.
When you go to Japan just don't forget to learn how to say sorry, I don't speak Japanese, and how to ask where the bathroom is. Those are the first three things you should learn in any language 😄
Fun Fact : the Cajuns in Louisiana are actually displaced French-Canadians and Acadians (from the Maritimes) who were deported in 1755 as the British were trying to assimilate the French ... another interesting piece of history. I bet a ton of Americans don't know Louisiana was named after King Louis of France and used to be a French colony
They weren't deported...they left
@@cariross6855It takes only a second of googling to learn about the expulsion of the acadians. Nice try though
Over my Canadian lifetime I must have bumped into dozens of inanimate objects and said "sorry" out of habit... doubt I'm the only one
My daughter once apologized to a throw pillow for accidentally knocking it off the couch.
I always apologize to inanimate objects, or insects, or …….
i ran into a wall and apologized to it
Same though
Yeah.. You are definitely not the only one 😅
As a Canadian, I am entertained watching you learn about our wonderful country. Good job.
I so agree it’s entertaining because the big Question is “ Why is he doing these Posts? “
Perhaps he needs to visit all ten Provinces and at least 1 f the 3 territories!
If every country act Canada, that would be Hell. I don't like nice people, especially pretentious nice people. they are not nice they want something from you. I like reasonable people.

As children travelling the states in summer, we would get asked if it was cold in Canada. We would laugh and tell them that we have central heating in our igloos.

Bagged milk is only sold in Ontario, Quebec, and possibly the Maritimes (pretty sure not at all in Newfoundland and Labrador & anywhere west of Ontario). In the 70s, Canada converted to the metric system. This meant that the dairy producers had to replace and resize all of their existing milk containers (they were all measured in quarts before). That's when they started using milk bags since they were easier and cheaper to adjust. In many parts of Canada, the bags became less popular and the jugs were cheaper to buy, so in western Canada, there are no more milk bags, they just use jugs, bottles, or cartons. In Ontario, jugs had a lot more restrictions than bags, so stores and producers mostly stuck to using bags. I live in Toronto, so I buy bagged milk which comes in 3 bags of around 1.33 litres all in a big pack, so you get 4 litres in total. These bags are also more environmentally efficient, as the plastic is thinner and uses up to 75% less plastic than a normal milk jug, and are lighter which means less energy is needed to ship them. By having three separate bags of milk when you buy it, you put one bag in a pitcher and cut the corner, and the other two are put in the fridge and stay fresh, as opposed to having all that milk in one big jug where it's all exposed to air and opened all at once.
We had it in NL for a little while, but it never really caught on.
I love having milk in bags. Like you said, instead of having it all open at once, you’re only opening a portion, so it stays fresh longer. And if someone accidentally drops the container, you have a lot less to clean up! Plus, it’s not so heavy and easier to control the pouring of it. I also find it’s easier to store in the fridge, instead of a giant container, full height, in a single spot, you have a smaller ones that can be shifted around onto short shelves or small spaces.
We didn’t switch to cartons until late 80s. Mind you we had our own Jersey for a decade but before that it was always bagged and cartons felt so modern. Lol But people would be adamant one tasted better than the others depending which they liked, bagged or carton.
I think the last time I can recall bagged milk in Saskatchewan is the early 90s. Oddly enough, they *do* have bagged milk in the US. Wisconsin based (locations in Eastern Minnesota and Iowa too) Kwik Trip carries milk in bags and have as long as I can remember.
Milk in bags where there before the conversion to metric, it replaced the old glass bottles that the milkman left at your front door in the morning (yes, I'm old). I remember when it was 3 one quart bags, but it's true that it was easier to adjust to metric.
i love that this random American guy is so interested about learning about Canada. as someone living in ottawa, your ottawa video was my favourite! bonne journée!
Moose are the wild animal that kill the most number of people in Canada. You should do a reaction to how big and dangerous moose are, I'm pretty sure there are some videos out there.
They don't kill on purpose though.. It's in the dangers of driving
And they are not invincible. Yes, most mooses will be able to walk away after a crash but you have to call the authorities so that they can find the animal and make sure it's fine.
nothing to do with 'wildness'. it is to do with hitting them on the highway and 800 to 1200 lb. comes through the windshield., your dead.
@@Redjs90 Actually most of the time the authorities will look for it to hunt it down and put it to sleep. Most mooses die after those crashes but they just have the strength to run away after the hit.
Unless, of course, you are out camping and you come face to face with a momma moose and her babies.
Moose are not everywhere in Canada, but very common to find them standing in the middle of the roads where I live. I came over a hill to greet a giant momma and the CUTEST calf this summer!!! It was only 2-3 months old and eye level with the hood of my truck!! They will literally just stand there and stare at you with a look of disgust on their face 🤣
*edit: bears are also so common here that they put up signs for tourists and newcomers that say: "please don't feed the bears"
I can't believe people need to be told that!!
I also saw a juvenile male bald eagle up close at the dump yesterday, he was gorgeous! I love it here 💖🇨🇦
Similar in the NWT with the bison. Those f*ckers will mess up a semi, and most likely get up and walk away (mostly a joke). And yet, their babies are super cute and tourists (what we call ‘Southerners’) will want to get out of their cars to pet/get pictures with/of them. 🤦🏼♀️ Just, no.
Moose are in about 98% of Canada. You need to educate yourself kid
Lol moose are definitely from where I grew up and they are CRAZY.. They will chase every vehicle they see, won't even be on the road either, they run out of the woods to chase them..
Those beasts are invincible for sure, they will get hit by and wreck a semi and walk away fine
Coffee Crisp chocolate bars and ketchup chips are indeed delicious. And if you've never had maple cookies, you should really try them! It's really not weird to have maple-flavored things. It's not like ranch. Maple is a type of sugar substitute after all, so it's no different from having brown sugar cookies or molasses cookies.
exactly, I was really confused that he though it was weird. You just gotta imagine it in the same realm as chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and like you said, molasse. All sweet things/flavors
Jos Lous is another Canadian treat
My father got offered a job in the police because he was a great hockey player. He was given a uniform and a gun, and the accompanying salary, but didn't have to perform any police duties. All he had to do was play hockey and win games. That was in the 1950s, but it goes to show how important it is here.
I love how genuine tyler always is and the mannerisms of his jokes, always makes it very enjoyable to watch
Coffee Crisp isn't just coffee flavoured, but it has actual coffee in it. They're pretty high in caffeine, for a chocolate bar.
chocolate is high in caffeine without any coffee mixed in.
You're right...it's not coffee flavored. It's a crunchy coffee cake covered with chocolate
I would do anything for a coffee crisp lol
All I think about is the commercial
How do you like your coffee?
I like my coffee crisp lol
My favorite.
Springtime is hilarious because the second the temperature is above or around 0°C you see a mix of full on winter kits and shorts, tees and sandals.
Until the last couple years where I've lost my cold tolerance due to medical reasons, I used to wear tshirt, jeans, and sandals until -20C, even if there was a foot of snow.
Now I'm stuck wearing "proper" clothes even when its like 10C. Drives me crazy actually.
A true story about polite deer. I once lived in a busy area right across from the hospital. Where I live there are a lot of deer and rabbits everywhere. I had a ground floor suite and as I was having breakfast and deer walked by my window. That was odd even here because there were no Woods nearby. I went out my balcony and saw the deer had two fawna. Mama dear let her babies down the sidewalk, they stood at the intersection to cross the street to the hospital. They waited for the light to change and when the walk man sign came on the mom led the deer cross LOL.
During hunting season, in Truro, Nova Scotia, the deer come out of the woods and take over the town. It would be extremely common to see them strolling down the sidewalks and using the crosswalks at appropriate times! Sorry, Not a Meme! 😜
Always enjoy your videos Tyler!
😂
Surprisingly I too have seen deer in crosswalks.
a herd of deer were crossing the road in the middle of nowhere in complete darkness, and there was a truck pulled over on the opposite lane facing towards me with blazing lights, and I was blinded so I slowed down and all of a sudden drove between two massive deer crossing the road, i was SO relieved I didnt put a deer through my grille in the Rocky's.
Seen that too!
1. I am Canadian and have never even heard of maple water until now. 2. The moose are a road hazard. Drivers run into them in NL on highways, especially at dusk when moose are on the move and will unexpectedly run in front of cars on the road. The moose usually dies in the collision and the car is wrecked. Often the people inside are injured or killed as well. The sign is probably a road sign warning motorists to be vigilant and watch for moose. 3. Bull moose have antlers. Females (cows) do not. 4. Tim Horton's is basically a donut/coffee shop and is ubiquitous in Canada. 5. The use of "eh" in Canadian language is area specific - it's not commonly used in some provinces. 6. Newfoundland is Canadian, but very different from the rest of Canada. Check out Newfoundland music by Great Big Sea or more classics by Dick Nolan. Listen to "We'll Rant and We'll Roar" or to "I'se the B'y" for traditional music. "Saltwater Joys" is a beautiful song by Buddy Wassisname and the Other Fellas. We also have unique dialects and a fair sense of humour in Newfoundland. There is a dictionary of Newfoundland English. Try listening to some of Rick Mercer, for a sample of fairly modern Newfoundland humour. Also, 'Tales from Pigeon Inlet' by Ted Russell is a sample of Newfoundland stories that are worth a listen. These things are first Newfoundland, but also Canadian. Like the USA, Canada is diverse and, like Alaska is different from the other states, so Newfoundland is different from other provinces in Canada. SO........ Most of these "Canadian stereotypes" do not apply to Newfies at all. But, the point is that the cultural uniqueness and diversity in Canada is vast, so stereotyping Canadians simply cannot be accomplished. Usually, those who attempt to do so are stereotyping Ontarians or Quebecers and extending that stereotype as if it applies to the rest of this country.
How do you like your coffee? Crisp! That was the inaugural ad campaign for the bar when I was a kid … and I’m no kid now! And the bar kinda-sorta tastes like sweet, creamy coffee. And chocolate!
It was not the inaugural ad campaign. It is simply the first one you remember. You have taken the word 'inaugural', which was referencing the candy bars ad campaign history, and applied the word incorrectly to yourself. 👍
80's kids, like me, remember this commercial most ☺
@@elizabethsullivan7176 I was born in 1953. I remember when the bar was first introduced, in black and white, on TV. It became my father’s favourite treat. I won’t turn down a Coffee Crisp ever!!
this product was invented by an English chocolate maker called Rowntree that is no longer a Canadian presence. To bad really !
As a Canadian I can say that yes many Canadians can handle the cold weather, I can go out in shorts and a tshirt in -20C weather easily. That being said when I go to the south (ie Texas, AZ) I can NOT handle the heat at all. I've been told the cold weather makes your blood thicker and that's the reason, not sure if that's true
it is and it isn't, when a human is raised in a cold climate we instinctively develop a ability to regulate the blood vessel in our extremities where it will slow blood flow just enough to keep hands and feet above freezing by turning on blood flow briefly.
For the milk you can buy a pack that has 2 or 3 bags of milk so it takes up less space in the fridge and yes it's easier to recycle. Also when you get milk delivered it makes it easier with bags. For the maple water, it's not maple-flavored, it's actually maple sap boiled down and mixed in :)
You can still get milk delivered?
@@JoDee172 I am not sure about now, but in Quebec if I go back 5-10 years my parent got milk bags delivered every week :)
Also, 4L (about a gallon, for the Americans) of milk comes in 3 sealed bags, rather than 1 big jug - so the unopened bags don't spoil as fast. Plus you can get a pitcher with a cute cow on it to put it in. :)
Ieeew micro-plastic (bags) in the milk. It's much easier to puncture too, than cartons esp if you drop it/them.😢
I don't drink it anymore.... But even so. Cartons are much better!😊
Milk in plastic bags were introduced because of the metric system. For the maple water, it is the water that comes directly out of the tree (tree sap, which has a unique taste and is really good) then it is boiled to become a syrup
I'm québecois and I truly hope my observation about winter attire won't offend any of my Canadian brethren. Never in my life have I gone out in winter not properly dressed for the season, at least not intentionally or while sober. But going out in the freezing cold underdressed truly is a stereotype québecois have toward Anglophones, especially college/university students. I lived a couple years in Kingston, ON, and saw this regularly from Queen's University students. I've been living in the Eastern Townships in Québec for the last 25 years, where there are many Anglo towns and where Bishop's University is, and there's a genuine stereotype about students walking around in the dead cold of winter in shorts and Birkenstocks. I've seen this both here and while I was living in Ontario. Obviously, this does not necessarily make it true for all English Canadians but around here, it's enough to fuel stereotypes it seems. But in all fairness, this phenomenon seems to be spreading to the French Canadian youth as well, given that socks and not rolled up pants aren't cool. God, writing this post makes me feel old lol
Born in Toronto 82 years ago. Moved to San Francisco with nursing at 21 and met and married an AMERICAN(57 years and never went back except to visit. My sister still says”eh”,I believe Tim Horton was a hockey player,Canadians really are,for the most part,courteous and I have always hated camping and cold weather! Thank you so much for doing this series! Reminds me what I miss about Canada!
I think it’s lovely that you want to learn about Canada and other countries. Shows an open mind, willing to learn and I really hope that you have an opportunity to visit all the countries you are learning about
I don’t give a hoot in hell whether you could be my grandson or not but yours is definitely one of the most informative and entertaining channels I’ve ever come across on RUclips. Just keep on rockin’!
As others have commented Maple water is the tree sap that runs in the spring. You can boil that down to make maple syrup (you'll need 40 litres to make 1 litre of syrup). We would normally use maple water in cocktails, or in baked beans where you boil the beans in the maple water and it imparts a maple flavour to the beans. Add some salt to maple water and inject it into a roast to make a delicious pot roast with maple flavoured meat. The extensions for maple products are endless. BTW maple sap changes flavour as it progresses through the season. Early in the run the flavour is very light and sweet. As the tree wakes up the sap becomes grainy with more complex "plant flavours" until it becomes sour with plant taste which is not good for syrup. The late season syrup is called "Sirop poteau" or telephopne pole syrup as it is more vegetable than sweet. This type of syrup is perfect for flavouring meat or sauces that goes with a savoury rather than a topping for pancakes.
I'm Canadian and i approve this comment.
To me (french canadian) sirop de poteau means fake syrup, like aunt jemima stuff made with corn syrup. So the stuff any normal canadian would NEVER buy lol
🖖❤
Hey like your episodes I find them funny as a Canadian, and the bagged milk reactions are hilarious! it was actually developed to save on shipping costs as opposed to fitting 4 jugs in a milk crate the company can now fit 5 bags in a crate each bag holds 3 smaller bags in it that you put into a holder to pour, the bag and jug both hold the same amount of milk.
I used to harvest maple water for a sugar shack which was owned by a family member (QC) when I was a kid. We would put maple water into a large reservoir on a sleigh pulled by a few horses. It was a lot of work, but unlike for other physical work, we didn't bring our own water since we could just drink maple water directly! XD pretty sure not many people had this experience.
Beaver tails are amazing and you can essentially have them however you want. The picture just shows some ways you can eat them. If I'm not mistaken, the OG beaver tail is literally just the dough with cinnamon sugar. I could be wrong and that may just be the first one that I had. But yeah, top the dough with anything you want. Whatever floats your boat.
I live along the lake and one of the biggest grumbling from drivers is having to constantly stop for the Canadian Geese crossing the road. Depending on the number of geese crossing, it sometimes does cause a traffic jam with dozens of cars waiting for them to complete their slow walk across the road. On occasion some drivers will blow their horns which is hysterical because it doesn’t faze the geese. LOL
Nothing phases a cobra chicken!
We did this in kelowna all the time nobody seemed to mind except the bozo who blew his horn thinking the ducks would move.
@@BarnDoorProductions LOL
Canada geese!
As I remember ketchup chips (haven't had them in ages), they taste like salt and vinegar chips with a bit less bite and a hint of tomato. I loved them as a kid but not as much as I got older. Dill Pickle chips, now, are a Canadian flavour that's really good. I miss those. Salt, vinegar and a considerable amount of dill flavouring. If you enjoy pickles you'd probably enjoy the chips.
Yes, I agree. Ketchup is for kids, dill pickle for older.
I disagree on your description of dill pickle chips, it's much less tangy than the salt and vinegar ones (I literally never could eat the salt and vinegar chips as my tongue would hurt too much). I still love ketchup chips and dill pickle are a close second
You should do a reaction video to the arrogant worms. A Canadian comedy musical troupe. They're hilarious and every Canadian knows at least one of their songs by heart
Great idea, love the Arrogant Worms! I learned from them that Canada has " rocks and trees and waterrrr!" 🤣 they are hilariously brilliant.
Arrogant Worms! Watch out for the pirates on the River Saskatchewan!
When I first arrived in Canada (from a tropical country), I was super bundled up. When I had been here for a few years, skirts and tights in negative weather…because fashion. Lol.
Yes, I have Jamaican friends that immigrated to Canada knowing that it would be a colder climate, but could never have imagined how cold. You need to dress for the cold in early winter and late winter when the temperatures may be minus 5 to -10 degrees Celcius. When mid winter temperatures sink to minus 30 to 35, or minus 40 with wind chill factor, the cold is painful as it bites you in the ass when you go out of the door and skin can freeze in 15 seconds.
The people who started Beaver Tails used to live across the street from me. It was just a small operation then, one store and running the canal snack kiosks in winter.
I am so amazed to see it as such a big thing now.
Have you seen to opening ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics? It was a parade of (fun) Canadian stereotypes, we are very fortunate to have good ones (mostly)
I am Canadian and have never said “eh”. It’s mostly spoken in western Canada vs the east. I speak French but my husband can’t speak a word. Maple water, is just the sap that hasn’t been reduced into syrup. It’s not maple syrup added to water. A coffee crisp is delicious. Love watching your reactions.
Right I never heard "eh" in Quebec until I made friends with a guy from... Manitoba? Somewhere in the prairies haha. I never knew it was a real thing until then :P
It's super common in New Brunswick. My part of New Brunswick anyway.
huge here in the prairies. we're also heavily native populated so that could be why, the stereotypical canadian accent sounds similar to an indigenous accent. we natives say "eh" a lot lol
I used to say "eh" a LOT until I started using the internet. When it was pointed out to me online that I said it, I ended up avoiding saying it. I still do sometimes, but its not that often anymore.
If you never have said "eh" I question your Canadianess.
In Saskatchewan, Canada, July is the only month that hasn't had a recorded snow fall. We have had snow fall in the first week in June, and in the last week of August. Not in the same year, and not all the time, nor does the snow last very long. But it has happened, and is generally a surprise when it does.
Alberta has recorded snowfall every month of some years, not much maybe and maybe only over 10000 feet in the mtns, but it was snow!
As others have pointed out, maple sap is boiled into syrup, which may be further boiled to obtain a very thick syrup drizzled upon snow called taffy, and this can be further boiled to obtain maple sugar which, once cooled, is hard enough to kill a man with (same as unrefined sugar, actually). Note that maple water is known to be VERY laxative, but not other maple products.
So I can kill a guy then eat the evidence… good to know
I used to live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and there are a lot of deer that come into the residential areas at the edge of the city. I have personally seen a group of deer wait at the corner until the walk light came on and they walked through the crosswalk to go to the park on the other side of the road. Blew my mind.
Several Deer sleep in my yard and prune my Shrubs here in Winnipeg, the city looks like a low flat elm forest with tall buildings occasionally poking up, I have had to supervise indoor recess because a rutting moose had taken over the playground. I have stayed in hotels with “please consider our room cleaning staff- no deer butchering in the bathtub- please ask at the front desk for access to the slaughter shed.” For hunters.
Her accent is albertamerican. It’s October 4th and snow started today in a town north of here. University students west little canvas shoes at 40C below waiting for the bus. Death by fashion. At a hotel in North Carolina a police officer asked us to head inside, so we did, thanked her and she asked if we were Canadian. No idea how she figured it out, or why she wanted us inside.
I found folks in the states very polite and exuberant.
@@keithlightminder3005 I've always loved the urban forest aspect of Winnipeg. I used to work security (specifically parking patrol) at the HSC so I'd end up on the top level of the parking garages multiple times a day. Third or fourth level up is perfect to show off the urban forest
The thing about the cold is: You get acclimatized to it, just like everywhere else. I would feel just as uncomfortable where you live during the summer as you would coming here in the winter.
The first winter in the prairies will be your worst, but after that, it will only be the extremes that will be as uncomfortable.
We also quickly learn to dress for the weather. And the trick there is, layers. "You can always take a jacket/sweater off if you are too hot, but you can't magically make a sweater appear if you are too cold."
Personally, anything between -25C and 25C (-13F to 77F) is fine, but anything outside of that gets uncomfortable.
13 below 0 is 'fine'? You must live in northern Alberta/Saskatchewan. Too cold for me.
@@frogsmoker714 central saskatchewan, but you were close enough. Lol.
As I once said to some online gaming friends from Texas: " When it is -40, I can always light a fire to get warm. When it is 105 in the shade, here is a glass of water ... go ahead and make an ice cube. "
I grew up in Montreal, where winters would get as cold as -25°c (or more) not even counting the humidity and no, I never got used to it... don't know anyone there who has
Canada, Southern Ontario, Toronto, Vancouver areas are some of the very few places in the world where you can go skiing one day and play golf the next. I did it many times in my youth.
Our family was on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris when a small child ran into us. The mom apologized profusely. My husband asked her where she lived in Canada. She asked how she knew she was in Canada. He told her she said eh.
There have been a couple of times in my life where I have apologized to a garbage can after bumping into it.
Canadian here!!!
I’ve never subscribed to a channel faster than I did after watching 2 of your videos, it’s so nice to see an American who actually knows, and listens about Canadian things
I've never heard of Dunkaroos, and I'm Canadian. Also, yeah, the moose danger sign is very real, in pretty much every province and territory except maybe PEI. Also "dee-no" is a Flintstones character. We say "die-no-saur"
Except en français.
So True, also the Canada Geese these creatures are very mean but well respected, hitting one with a motor vehicle we'll end up fined.
In alberta, on the prairie part, we have rattlesnake warning signs, warning you not to harm them, they are a protected species...
As a Canadian who has always lived in Ontario (Toronto, Windsor and now Cambridge), I have never heard about maple syrup water. Then again, I have never looked for it either. Beware of moose and deer signs are used in areas where they populate. The word "about", I would think would be said by Newfoundlanders. Sometimes even Canadians have a hard time understanding what they are saying. I have always thought accents from different US states are cool. Have always thought Canadians, in Ontario at least, have no accent. By the way Tyler, I think you would fit right in in Canada.
I can think of 4 different accents just in Ontario: the franco-ontarian accent typical of northeastern Ontario, the Irish sounding accent of the Ottawa Valley, the southern Ontario accent typical of the Golden Horseshoe area that is most prevalent and the US mid-western sounding accent typical of southwestern Ontario.
@@nickgooderham2389 Wow good to know. Sounds like you have been in more places in Ontario than me and have had the opportunity to meet a lot more people than I. Am just your average Canadian now living in a small city. With all the other nationalities here, I don't notice any other accents. You must have an exciting life.
@@sandrastone3908 wow but you have Newftuguese living in Cambridge.., you know the ones that are from Portugal and Newfoundland.... .lmao
@@tomcatmeow69 Wow never met someone who was Portuguese living in Newfoundland. Suppose there are those of different nationalities living there too. Can't imagine the different accents.
Toronto is mainly immigrants from China and Indian with very strong accents
Yes! Much love from Ontario!
Also! I did a bit of research for you and you might be surprised to know that there is a company currently in Texas, Karbach Brewing Co., that has their own brand of Ranch Water Hard Seltzer. They are expanding into Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado and Tennessee. 🙂❤
Omg! I'm dying to correct/add to some of what she said but did you know there are character limits to comments? Lol my biggest issue was when she called Canada a cultural "melting pot". We're actually more of a cultural "mosaic" because we accept different cultures whole cloth and add their individualism to our own. Like a mosaic that takes many lovely pieces and brings them all together to make an overall beautiful image. I think a "melting pot" would be more akin to Americans in that they mix other cultures into their own by breaking down what makes them unique and turns them into the "beige" homogeneous culture of America. I think both are great systems and suit both our countries nicely. Oh and p.s. Canada is the second largest country by landmass in the world. You could put 14 Frances in this land of ours! (Not that anyone measures that way lol) AND we have a tenth of the population of the USA. So, yeah, Canada's really big. 🤔
Some provinces have no identity ... mostly Asians ... we have a culture and history but immigrants do not care . Toronto does not define the identity of Canada ... I think Canadians should respect their heritage first and understand our history ... unfortunately Canada is like USA people are watching violent, dram , racist movies from USA , watch the same TV shows and they think they are polite but they are not .. they are just talking behind your back and sorry does not mean anything ... it is like an habit ...
Yes, that bugged me too. US is a melting pot, Canada is a mosaic.
Also high 5 on the Arrogant Worms reference. ;)
The melting pot remark really bugged me too and was obviously wrong.
'88 Winter Olympics in Calgary. My brother and I got to go to bobsledding with one of our Aunts and Uncles. To see tourists stare at the man in shorts and a t-shirt walking with a hot chocolate made 10 year old me smile. Welcome to winter with sun and a Chinook wind (warm breeze during cold weather). So normal.
Hey Tyler, a suggestion for a video to watch, "Tom Brokaw explains Canada". It is from the Winter Olympics held in Vancouver a few years back, it has some good info you will like, and it is only about 7 minutes
I am Canadian, and that was a fun video! Love your personality! You definitely would fit right in here in canada! This video narrator is hilarious! Thank-you for great work! Cheers 😊
I’m a Janitor and I have put up the do not flush sign. Top list is serious while bottom part is for laughter so you remember what was written and hope that you don’t clog the toilet. Which can get costly and damaging floor and time consuming to clean up to
Maple water isn't some maple flavoured water lol. It's the raw liquid that comes out of the maple tree. The liquid that they boil to make the syrup is call maple water. At least in Québec wich is 'eau d'érable' that literally means 'maple water'. EDIT: And yeah it's delicious. We were drinking it straight from the bucket hanged on the trees when I was a kid.
In the 70s had a friend who driving a big old Cadillac up north in Canada, a large moose cross the road as he hit the Cadillac he totaled the Cadillac, got up and kept on going. The Cadillac was totaled and they were big cars in those days
🇨🇦love that you are doing this! Thank you for taking the time to explore Canada. Keep up the good work!!! Watching from BC’s capital, Victoria, on Vancouver Island. ❤️🇨🇦
There are huge differences between Canadians from province to province. It’s truly amazing. Would be great to have you over. Enjoy your videos, I laugh at you & us. Take care eh 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
The moose sign is so normal north of Edmonton due to so many people dying by crashing into them, so that night time speed limits are reduced. In the late 1980s in Alberta we had both milk in cartons and bags, but bags went away since people hated them, have not seen milk in bags in any western Canada since.
Full kudos to you for actually trying, studying in fact, about Canada. I respect your efforts!
In the northern part of Canada we wear plaid, because it’s like -100 with the wind chill and plaid is so warm. And in the north we are surrounded by bush. It all depends on where you’re from 😊
Yes, the plaid shirt isn't just the colour, it's the flannel. Good flannel is incredibly warm.
I have three solid coloured flannel shirts that I live in each winter (not all at once lol, but on an insanely cold day, don't challenge me cuz I'll do it)
hi - it's not the plaid that is warm, it is the material (wool or flannel) which it is made from...😀
As a Canadian, I love watching your videos. Sometimes I even learn things about my own country by watching this channel.
I love ketchup chips! It's one of my fave flavors of chips next to dill pickle and all dressed.
I've never seen bagged milk in Regina. I only see the cartons and jugs in the stores.
We've got a cool Prime Minister here in Canada. When he first won the election in 2015, his speech made my parents laugh when he was talking about "sunny ways". My mom was like, who did we elect? lol!
I admit I've never tried maple water. Never knew we even had it in Canada. Will have to try it if I ever see it now.
I used to be tough during the winter when I was a teenager and wore a windbreaker on the walk to school. I lived across the street from a school though, so it wasn't far to walk. Once I became an adult, I couldn't stand the cold and due to my inherited Reynaud's disease, I always need ski mitts and hand and toe warmers every winter.
The moose in the yard is probably a female moose as I think only the male moose grow antlers.
Yes, Canadians do say sorry a lot. Sometimes I say sorry to furniture and actually say ouch even though I'm not hurt, though the furniture might be. lol!
I still see Kinder surprise in the stores here. The Easter stock is coming into the stores now, so there are a lot of those around. I've never had any issues with choking on the Kinder eggs as a kid. I mean, I knew not to eat the chocolate before opening it up and finding the plastic tube with the toy inside first.
11:43 Collisions with moose are no joke. They can go right through your windshield and crush you to death. I never have hit one but I have seen them on the side of the road, or crossing the road, plenty of times. Just think the danger from deer crossing the road but multiplied by a significantly larger body mass.
Here in Colorado elk,deer, and cows in the open range areas are something that people have to watch out for. Hitting one totals you car. Death is not unheard of.
When living in the Rockies, my ex and I were driving down a logging road and came upon a moose in the middle of the road who took exception to our presence (we did not creep up on him but stopped quite far away). The minute he looked at us and started to move threateningly toward us, I had to quickly put the car into reverse (I drove a standard) and back up as quickly as I could. You do NOT mess with moose.
As a Canadian I've never bought or saw someome buy a bag of milk. Also the whole Maple thing is odd to me. I use maple syrup maybe once every 5 years on pancakes. I've had maple flavored snacks like donuts or cookies, but I've never heard of maple water. Also, where I live Moose are deadly. Not only can they kill you by stomping you but they kill people every year on highway collisions. They're MASSIVE
Here in Ontario I get bagged milk. I think it’s less of a thing out west, not sure what they have in the east.
I like how you went from from disappointed of the "canadian" accent not being as steep as you thought to saying Canada is a big place and very diverse. The place is big enough that you'll hear people say aboot, aboat and about. You hear different accents depending on the province, decent and all other kinds of stuff
I lived and grew up in BC on Vancouver Island. For a short while many years later as an adult I lived in Newfoundland. While camping in the middle of nowhere across the country in Newfoundland someone asked me if I knew a guy buy the name of John from BC. Interestingly it turned out it was my brother and they had worked together for years in Northern BC. (We have a unique last name) So sometimes Canada is in fact small in regards to people we know. This has happened a few times especially in certain circles.
I’m from Sault Ste Marie. *Everybody* knows someone from The Soo. My cousin’s Newfoundlander husband’s university friend wound up marrying one of our other cousins - whom we haven’t met - in BC.
The world is smaller than we think. Many years ago, my brother got engaged to a girl from South Africa. Our next door neighbour went on a holiday in London, visiting family. As she sat on the bus one day, she struck up a conversation with the lady sitting next to her. Turned out to be my brother's future mother-in-law.
I was around when bagged milk was introduced. The dairies had switched from glass jugs to plastic, but the plastic jugs shrank when they were washed. So they introduced single-use bags. That was the explanation we were given then, though you hear all sorts of other explanations now. They may all be right, too.
Plastic milk jugs not only shrank when washed, people often used them as general containers for things like waste motor oil and other toxins, before returning them to the store for their deposit. The standard washing process, before refilling with milk didn't necessarily produce a clean jug. The automated packaging machinery used for bagged milk can fill the bags twice as fast as the machines filling jugs. The three plastic bags of milk, contained in one outer bag reduces to less than one square inch of plastic when recycled, therefore less plastic than jugs.
Milk bags are very durable and rarely leak or puncture contrary to what many believe.
I'm old enough to remember the Milk Man driving around and selling glass bottles of milk.
@@markreaume With a horse-drawn wagon. There's something I'm glad is gone. Every intersection had a pile of horse droppings and a gathering of all the neighbourhood dogs.
@@chrisgraham2904 That makes sense. and it's a reason they wouldn't advertise. Thanks. In fact the shrinkage issue may have been completely invented.
@@johnfitzgerald7618 Okay, I'm not that old :-) I remember it being a short yellow truck. He would ring a bell as he went through the neighborhood.
Please react to the Newfoundlanders and their accent. My family as far as I know all come from Newfoundland and the dialectic there is very interesting. Also you can get Screeched in where, even if you are not from Newfoundland, you can become an official Newfoundlander. It’s an absolutely incredible province
We have been to all of the provinces. I have to say, Newfoundland and PEI were our favourites! The laid back feeling you get in both provinces is refreshing! Whilst in NFLD, literally everyone was so friendly. The music on the east coast is pretty amazing too! NFLD even has huge icebergs!
Yes! Newfie accents are the best.
5:25 BEAVERTAILS ARE SOOOOOOO GOOOD.
For the record, maple water is not maple flavoured water it's the water that drips from the maple trees that then gets turned into maple syrup and it is drinkable. It taste sweet and like maple.
That's SAP!!
@@GarySaltern in french it's Eau d'érable lol so I didn't know 😅🤫🤣
@@Ganja_bee I had to use my computer to translate. I've forgot my French that I learned in school.
Ooh, ketchup chips!! I love ketchup chips, especially by Old Dutch, which is a purely Canadian brand, and my favourite chip brand.
I'm in BC, and we used to have bagged milk, but it hasn't been here in BC for a long time.
My mom (RIP) used to love Coffee Crisp, and they're really good. Not my favourite, but they are quite good.
Yes, many of us Canadians will spend time outside in almost any kind of weather, or else most of us would never spend time outside most of the year. My part of BC is temperate and we can be outside most of the year, but even we have tonnes of snow sometimes.
Yes, hockey is a hugely popular thing here in Canada, although not all of us are into it. I'm a die hard Canadian, but I'm not a hockey fan. *gasp!!* I'm rare this way.
Maple water? That must be an Eastern Canadian thing, probably out in Ontario. Bring it here to BC!! Some of my favourite candies are maple flavoured. We don't produce maple syrup here in my part of BC, since we rarely get cold enough, and I don't think we have the right kind of maple trees, but we do love it here, too.
Bird clocks aren't just a Canadian thing. I know people elsewhere in the world that have them and other clocks like that.
Apologising is truly Canadian, and I've even apologised to myself if I've done something wrong. True!! haha
Moose can be quite aggressive. They won't flip over a car, but they will cause massive damage to a vehicle, even buses.
I've never seen that Do Not Flush sign, although it is funny.
I've worn tshirts and cropped pants or skirts out in colder weather. Yes, we do develop a special ability to adjust to the cold. We have to. haha But, seriously, a body can acclimate to almost any weather, and some people - like me - run warmer, and can stand a lot of cold. Like that one guy she mentioned, I've eaten ice cream outside in cold weather. To me, ice cream is a year round thing.
I know lots of police officers, mostly Mounties, and most of them I know, as well as lots of others, are very helpful to people and will help people out in times of need.
The dinosaur sign - I pronounce "dinosaur" like you do, Tyler. Maybe she was saying it like Dino from the Flinstones. Anyway, the sign might be from Drumheller, Alberta, where there are large amounts of dinosaur fossils and is well known for that. I've heard that they have a lot of signage with dinosaurs on them.
Female moose don't grow antlers.
I agree with her that people not acknowledging a "thank-you" or grunting at it is rude. Just say "You're welcome" if you don't know what else to say.
Beer drinking is quite common among Canadians, and even those of us like me who don't drink at all are very proud of our national brands.
"Eh" isn't said by every Canadian, but a lot of us do. Not all the time, but we do say it. "Aboot" is definitely just a stereotype. She said that Canadians say "aboat," but not here in BC. We say "about" very much like those in Washington State and Oregon and northern California do.
The mountain she lived on in Burnaby isn't really in the wildnerness, although it's closer than most of the rest of Greater Vancouver.
Every part of Canada is different. Here in my town an hour or so east of Vancouver, things are different than in Vancouver.
I love Canadian money. The colours are so pretty, and I love our coins, especially the loonie and the toonie.
Kinder Surprise - she maybe forgot that Kinder is a brand from Europe - German, maybe? So it has German on it.
Sorry for the long comment! I just have a lot to say about my country. haha :)
Some of the things in the woman's video are just memes and aren't necessarily Canadian. They just happen to go along with Canadian stereotypes, and they are funny. :)
A policeman (State Trooper in New Hampshire)💙 literally lifted the rear end of my brother's car back onto the road when he pulled into too much crushed stone on the shoulder and sank down. It was awesome. I'm Canadian, 70 Years old and that happened when I was 14 but I still remember how impressed I was.💙
Also, Tyler: I know 'ketchup chips' sounds weird to many Americans, but it's actually like a sweet and zingy tomato spice. I think 'ketchup' evokes a cold goopy taste, like the condiment. I think the flavour itself would be pretty popular if presented to Americans without the ketchup name. Most of our other chip flavours are pretty equally beloved between the two countries, like nacho or cool ranch Doritos, Cheezies, Funyuns etc.
I honestly don't know why it's so abnormal sounding to other people....like you dip your fries in ketchup right? Lol
There absolutely is something to developing thicker skin in the cold. I worked outside (in Ottawa) for a few winters and the first -10 of the season is very different from the last. In the first one you're rushing to get your gloves and toque on and by the last, you're taking your jacket off cause it's so warm out.
I agree, right now in NB it has changed from summer to fall weather and I noticed over the years, the change on temp. is worst in fall than any time of year. I survive the winter just fine, it is the hot summer temp to fall that makes me shiver.
-10 lol, come to Alberta and work in the oilfield, not only will you make $7-12,000 after taxes, you will also work in -40 or worse
This person dares to call themselves Canadian then say that Beaver Tails looks "disgusting"
@@jasonlauritsen5587 Ha! I'm actually moving to Alberta. Won't be working outside or in oil fields though.
So true! The same temp in fall & spring -- fall we’re grabbing sweaters, scarves, hats, etc & in spring, shedding all that and coming out in shorts and tees.
As an adult now, I see really cold temps in winter & think “bundle up!” Pile on big puffy coat, massive scarf, hat, long wristed gloves, etc. and by the time I reach transit, I’m pulling off alllll the layers and unzipping my coat, regretting it all. 😆 Last year I only pulled out my actual winter coat two or three times, sticking with my “fall” weight coat…which also remained unzipped. LOL We definitely get used to the colder temps.
Thank you for educating the US on Canada. Love you videos. I am Canadian!
I live in the maritimes and bagged milk is a big thing…not as big as it was in like the 90’s/early 2000’s, but dairy is a huge thing and bagged milk was invented in the 60’s to replace glass bottles as a cheaper and more efficient way of consumer production. Now it is much more common to buy milk in plastic jugs or cartons.
You’ve learned so much about Canada! Well done!
The flushing sign has added humour to get the attention of bathroom rules.
Tyler: you should get a PO Box and have Canadians send you Canadian snacks to try!
She sounds "american" because she's from south Alberta. It's the most "american" place in Canada.
Windsor, Ontario also have a more American accent.
Oh my word, I know the person who took the photo at 7:20. Maybe all Canadians really do know each other! I can verify that the weather was really like that- three seasons all at once that day.
This is what I was told. Bag milk was introduced when Canada converted from Imperial to metric system 4 liters of milk.
Bagged milk was introduced well before that. I'm so old I remember it. We were told the early plastic milk jugs shrank when washed, so they introduced single-use bags.
slightly popular belief, totally false. nothing do with each other. bagged milk is only in Ontario and Quebec.
Regarding maple flavoured water… It’s probably just the raw sap. To make maple syrup, you boil it down to about 1/30 the volume that comes from the tree, which has just a hint of maple flavour.
You should look into Newfoundland Christmas traditions! As well as Newfoundland as a whole. The place is pretty festive
As a Canadian I've never had (or heard of) maple water... but I low key want to try it now.
Just so you know, maple water isn't flavored water. It's unprocessed maple sap. It's what come straight from maple trees and is used to make maple sirup by boilling it.
It's like milk in bags. It's definitely not a thing everywhere. I've never heard of it
@@birdsinparadise3113 I'm from Ontario... I moved to BC.. milk not in bags was a culture shock.
You've come a long way with these Canadian videos - thanks for spending your time with us :)
What would you say are the biggest breakthroughs, suprises, or realisations you've come to about Canada?
- Bags of milk are very common in Quebec. We also have the 1 and 2 liter quarts. One 4 liter pouch (about one of your gallons) contains three 1.33 liter bags. Very practical for the families, easier to use than a one gallon bottle.
- Coffee Crisp bars are sooooooooooooooooo good. They are the best. ❤❤❤
- For the weather, in Quebec, we've seen some 15 and 20 degrees drop in a day.
- Yep! Playing and watching hockey and baseball. And now, playing soccer (I was a soccer coach for 15 years).
- When I was in primary and high school, every springs, we went by school bus and had a day at the Maple Shacks. We would walk in the woods and drink the maple water(sap) (not water flavored with maple syrup) directly from the buckets attached to the tree sap spigot inserted in the trees. Very good.
- Hey! We developed thicker isolating skin to cope with the freezing weather... 🤣
- We say "dinosaur", not "deenosaur".
- The female moose does not grow antlers. The male loses his antlers every summer. They start to grow new ones the next spring.
- We also have rude Canadians. Sorry to disappoint you World. 😅
- Yes, we do (not me anymore) drink a lot of beer, especially during a hockey game.
- No, we don' all live in the wild. We can be wild though, but the good and fun kind of wild.
- I never wore plaid, never will.
Cheers! 😉
French is not actually mandatory, across the country, although it might be in some places. I was in French Immersion which means lots of my classes were in French instead of English, which is different than just taking one class about French (she probably took the one class). I also moved around during my school years and different areas did it differently. Science and math were in French in one area, then I moved and they were in English but P.E. was in French. Also the second place started French Immersion later (grade 7) vs when I started in Kindergarten elsewhere. As you'll learn, not much is actually consistent across Canada.
It was mandatory for me from grade 4 till 9. At grade 9 I dropped it because up until that point all they really seemed to teach in french class was pizza ingredients. As a result I can read most of the french side of our labels, but its useless for anything else.
We did have mandatory french in elementary school and junior high school but really the requirement was a second language, so if your school had something else, usually by grade 11, you could take that instead. But it wasn't required for graduation.
By grade 9 or 10 we seemed to be expected to understand videos and read the Little Prince. I guarantee I could not do that
I grew up in Northwestern Ontario. We sorta "get used to the cold", but also we just accept it is cold and also accept that we are going to suffer. As a teenager, I walked to school in just jeans and a light winter jacket and shoes. I froze my ass off because I didn't want to bundle up properly. The water/tears in my eyes would freeze my eyelashes/eyes shut. This was when it was -40°C, which is equal to -40°F, btw. My thighs, ears, nose and toes would be getting frostbite but I was "too cool" to wear winter clothing. That being said, when it is about 0°C to -10°C and it is warming up in the spring I have put on shorts and a long sleeve shirt to "Enjoy" the "warm" spring day.
You need to do a Canadian snack taste test I'd watch that for sure
If you like fries with ketchup… how could you not like ketchup chips 😂
Yes, toilets get easily clogged. Signs are in almost every washroom asking people not to flush femine products, tissues, paper towel, etc. So this sign has a few add-ons for a laugh.
you can expect more moose and deer along the roadside and in the ditches days after when the roads had been salted and plowed. they can get spooked and run across the road. I travel on roads with deer in the area. I am not near moose. Coffee Crisp is my all-time favourite chocolate bar. I enjoy your videos and the fact that you embrace the topic of all things Canadian. very positive and great personality
Moose are deer, very big, agressive deer, Bambi was a deer but not a moose
Maple water is actually simply pure, unrefined maple sap. Delicious.
Also, it's not really sap but a special type of liquid maple trees produce in spring and fall when temperatures vary between freezing and non-freezing.
Yeah, weird stuff. Still tasty and delicious en tabarnack.
Hopefully someone mentioned that female moose do not have a rack of horns, they are referred to as cow moose. Only the males have impressive huge rack of horns. I love your channel thank you for being sweet about us Canadians. Thank you very much. Keep on keeping on!
I worked for the company that developed the bags for milk. I’m pretty sure back in late 60’s recycling wasn’t a big thing and people didn’t want the inconvenience of taking plastic milk jugs back to the store and store probably didn’t want to deal with them either.
Back in the 60's it was glass bottles if I remember well.
@@sylvaindupuis5595 yes you’re right. My mistake.
@@sylvaindupuis5595 in the late sixties in Winnipeg it was bags or plastic jugs. Cartons were available but not ubiquitous. Glass bottles hadn't been a thing in the city since the 50s, though rural areas had them much longer.
No, recycling really wasn't a thing back then. Bags used a very small amount of plastic compared to jugs so they were cheaper to manufacture and, yes, easier to throw out in the trash since they didn't take up much space in the trash bag either
Love Coffee Crisp. And their old catch phrase....How do you like your coffee? Crisp.
Im serious here. In the richer part of Victoria, called Oak Bay, there is literally a picture of a mother deer and her 2 babies waiting at a light to turn green so they could cross. Bizarre but true.
Bagged milk is more of an older generation thing or for people with big families. You need to buy a pitcher made for those bags so they don't spill after being opened. You just need to cut the corner of the bag after putting it in pitcher. They are usually sold in packs of three and are overall cheaper than other options like cartons or plastic jugs.
The bags were made of really thick plastic, and my aunt used to wash them out and use them for food storage after🙂
bagged milk first appeared long before plastic recycling was a thing...the alternatives were bulky plastic jugs, cartons, and glass bottles. The bags made a much lower impact on our landfill sites
We still have them by and large in QC
@@joygernautm6641 My mother does the same thing. 🙂
Bagged milk isn't just for big families. Bagged milk consists of three smaller bags packaged within a larger outer bag. If your single, you can use just one inner bag portion and freeze the other two bags until you need them. It's cheaper and you don't need to buy milk as often. lol
Hail is definitely a thing on the prairies. In Alberta, the Insurance Board hires planes to seed clouds with silver iodide. This forces a larger number of smaller diameter hailstones to fall and saves them lots of $$ on insurance payouts for crop and property damage. It doesn’t always work, but it saves them enough money annually to keep paying for the program.
