"Did you hear the Prime Minister, Tim Horton, just got a double double?" HAHAHAH!! And Jean "Chretong" LMFAO These "Talking to Americans" segments never get old! Rick is brilliant! :D
This is America, to be honest. My parents lived there when I was about 10 years old, and, I kid you not, the teachers were writing "a lot" as one word. I begged and cried to come back. The teachers were horrid to me because they kept trying to force me to pledge allegiance to a flag that was not mine. I was also in a grade 5 class in Canada, and they placed me in a grade 7 class in the USA. The horror!
My Grade 6 teacher must have had a bad experience in the US then, because I specifically remember her drilling into all of our heads that it's "a lot," NOT "alot."
The guy is asking them questions that they just think are real questions. That professor probably doesn't go around saying that the Canadians perform Saskatchewan seal hunts but if someone says they are he'll say that that is bad. Same with that politician, he doesn't know what the other guy's talking about. He probably thinks the "national igloo" is some sort of tourist attraction he's never heard of.

I am sure there are many funny Americans. What i was impressed with was during 911 when Gander and many other Eastern provinces took in so many Americans, the Americans and other nationalities were so thankful we never heard anything negative about the passengers.
Hey Rick! You would have a lot of material to do one of these now (especially in Texas and some of the southern USA). Like we need any more reasons to laugh at the USA in 2020
He could get a lot of ideas and amo to laugh at in Canada as well. Our politicians are a joke and give comedians so much to joke about if they weren't afraid of being sued with all the wokeness. Our education system in Canada, especially Ontario has gone down hill and Rick could trick a lot of Canadians about Canada and the USA. Wish he would come out of retirement or find someone equally as funny.
Most Americans know as much about Canada as straight men know about applying make up. Its sad because the US is only interested in what goes on within its own borders. By the way I'm American and I love visiting Canada several times a year so I certainly don't mean any offense to Canadians when I say that.
And I don't mean to offend by this, but from vacation experience, you are definitely right. Up here we get a ton of access to US news and information but that isn't the case for Americans.
Has not smartened Canadians up more. I find so many Canadians are fed so much more lies on the internet it is actually dumbing many down. So many take what they see on line as the gospel truth.
Lucien Bouchard was a minister in Brian Mulroney's cabinet. The series was brilliant, and no doubt edited to pick out those overconfident Americans who couldn't say "I don't know" ! My favourite was when Rick got individuals on a university campus to sign a petition asking the Canadian government to stop putting their senior citizens out on ice flows.
Rick Mercer unquestionably has a gift for finding the stupidest people within a 100 metre radius of where he his standing. That' a real gift! Go Rick!!!!
When I was a kid I'd occasionally watch shows like Jerry Springer and think it had to be scripted because there's no way a country could have enough idiots to fill a stage and an audience with new faces every week. I was wrong!

@@KyleRuggles Oh that seems pretty good. I too don't fear immigrants. However, I am an opponent of illegal immigration, seeing how I think we need a secure border and a more proper system in which we admit immigrants. Granted they make this country great! With the police, it's more so the black people here who seem to fear the police for some reason. I mean if you're innocent, then there should be nothing to fear. Though granted cops can be bad, but most are not. In terms of terrorists, I actually do fear terrorists, both foreign and domestic, seeing how this World has gone to hell. In regards to Health Care, I can't speak from experience, because I am employed by my local school district, and I am given full medical benefits as well as a complete family coverage plan, so that's good for me. Thankfully, I am allowed freedom of speech, seeing as how in Canada, Section 1 of your charter states that the government can pass measures to limit it. And plus not living a colder environment is good for me!
actually the people who invented light-bulb was Canadian the phone was Canadian tv camera Canadian. however the people who invented them immigrated to the U.S. because during this time the U.S. was a much better country to live in with much more opportunity.
Although the average Canadian probably knows more about USA than the average American knows about Canada , I bet that if you started interviewing Canadians about the USA that it wouldn't take you that long to generate enough material to create a video similar to this one .
Canada has lower mortality rates for patients 65 and older three years after both low-mortality (18.52% U.S. vs. 15.31% Canada) and moderate-mortality (19.19% U.S. vs. 16.63% Canada) procedures Survival rate for four disease condition is higher in Canada than in America: o Colorectal cancer: 113 Canada vs. 108 U.S. o Childhood leukemia: 118 vs.110 o Kidney transplants 113 vs. 100 o Liver transplants 123 vs. 102
I dont know what does it have to do with health care quality, in health care quality US is on the top. This is why everyone across the world's picks US.
US healthcare innovations are tricle down -- the rich get them first, exclusively; when something new comes along, they get that, passing the previous down a level. With MRIs the latest Big Thing., CT scans are cleaer & more easily obtained, & standard XRays are practically free!

Fifty-seven percent (57%) of U.S. patients have reprocessed dialyzers used on them, compared with 0.0% of Canadian patients Compared with the American counterparts, low-income Canadians have a significant survival Advantage for 13 of the 15 kinds of cancer studied Canada has a higher rate of annual bone marrow transplants (0.89 per 100,000 population vs. 0.81per 100,000 in the U.S.)
Canada has double the concentration of foreign students the U.S. does. Congrats on allegedly having the best Universities but what percentage of your population actually attends them?
@blmaco The US has twice the amount of international students that Canada does - 1,000,000 in the US vs. 530,540 in Canada. So what is your point? 35% of Americans attend universities in the US, and 30% of Canadians have college degrees, so that means that 111.5 million Americans have college degrees as opposed to 11.4 million Canadians. More international students are attending these “allegedly” better universities in the US, so you’re wrong. The top US universities are better than these allegedly great Canadian universities.

This is funny, but as an American with a taste for parody and satire-and who has been to all 10 provinces-I have to say I’ve played this same kind of trick on lots and lots of Canadians. Bottom line: most people (Probably 95%) aren’t actually good listeners-nor are they very good at processing information even if they are actually “hearing” what is being said to them. These examples do not-by any means-reflect a trait that is unique to Americans. It’s actually universal.
And you minority rates are piss-poor. Canada's minority is 1/3rd the populace, and its predominantly Asian. The US is not even close to that, in a couple years the White population will be at 50%, and its African, Asian, and Latino. The US shares information, its pretty much what their mini-communities in the Metropolitan are known for. But American culture exists, its usually what draws people from their own nation. Most nations aren't concerned with Canada, remotely.
I'm sorry, correction, Canadians don't know a thing about the world besides themselves, AND Americans. Thats it. Watch the obviously biased clip? Why? No i just watch Canadians admit it. Canadians are exactly like the Americans except they have a bigger more popular nation below them and the Americans don't. Check out a DoseofBuckley channel on RUclips, he explains Canadians a lot, considering he is one.
Sorry but you're not. If you were you wouldn't be using silly terms like 'Visible Minorities'. Canada has a 80% White population rate, with 6% Asian, 5% Native, 4% Indo, and 4% Black and Latino. America has 72% White population, 4% Asian population, 16% Hispanic/Latino population, 12% Black population. This is according to the World Census, so what again about diversity?
What such evidence? And how does this dispute with the actual facts. Take in consideration that your only minority population is primarily East-Asian. You have no Latin immigrants, and your Black population is 2%. America booms in almost every sector of multi-racial and multi-cultural assessment, and according to the UN, has the most immigrants in the world.
You say Canada's irrelevant as if it's a bad thing. And if you want dumb, how about someone who calls Canada small? Meanwhile, congrats on having a lower rate than Canada for a few crimes but not so much on having the highest overall crime rate on the planet and quadruple Canada's.
Lots of happiness your higher income is bringing you with your higher suicide rate and I'll accept a slightly lower income if it means free health care and affordable post-secondary education for everyone. newsflash: there's more to life than how much money you have.
Im sorry the United Nations countless reports disagree with you. Canada is the most Diverse nation in the world and one of the most selfless. and is carred about by more nations then any. China France japan Germany England Sweden Jamaica. just to name a few.
Well they are just to niave and trusting assuming a Canadian wouldn't like to them just to laugh at them if you tell them there is a giant igloo they think that's possible sure tell them it's called the sky dome and people play baseball there then it has a bit of truth to it.
Oh, I see, it doesn't matter how the average person has, it doesn't matter that the general population doesn't benefit from their country's GDP, all that matters is the total amount of money in the country, I got it.
You know like China-town? They have "America towns" in asia, a lot of them. Most cartoons that are utter shit are made in Canada. Like what? Johnny Test? Americans hate that show.
Aleksandra Vukovic When you vote for people to vote for your president. I know about it because of the whole Al Gore vs the other guy thing (was he some bush?)

What do you expect from Mike Huckabee, he's a bass player ( so am I ) What a maroon. Doesn't he host a show on Fox now? Mike, you're meter is terrible and maybe you should learn some new chops and surprise us once in a while.
@T. Zappa & the light bulb with tungsten filament was alresady in use in Europe for years. . . Edison was a fraud & a thief. There wa a genius American at that time, but the media didn't blow him up. His name was Nikola Tesla--the FBI went in & stole all his inventions, including how to generate free electricity from ambient energy in the air. Less amazing inventions they gave for free to a startup called General Electric. Edison, like Lucky Lindberg(the 473rd(or so) person to fly solo across the Atlantic, is a media hype, proof only that the American media machine can create powerful lies out of whole cloth.
The Canadians turned back invading forces in Ontario. The Brits were the ones that invaded DC and almost razed it. You guys played a good part in it, but you ain't the gladiator of this story.
Blake Childers everyone was under the British flag, Canada was still a British coloney, that doesnt change that Canadians were involved as British troops since the British were using most of their resources elsewhere. The independent militias and native tribes turned back but but the Canadians who were in the British military continued because the Canadian military was the British military. Just because the flag they held was British doesnt change that there were individual Canadians involved.
As an American I'm highly offended at the accurate portrayal of our general ignorance of anything outside of the US. Keep up the good work.

What such evidence? And how does this dispute with the actual facts. Take in consideration that your only minority population is primarily East-Asian. You have no Latin immigrants, and your Black population is 2%. America booms in almost every sector of multi-racial and multi-cultural assessment, and according to the UN, has the most immigrants in the world.
ahhhh. They just love Canada! LOL
You say Canada's irrelevant as if it's a bad thing. And if you want dumb, how about someone who calls Canada small? Meanwhile, congrats on having a lower rate than Canada for a few crimes but not so much on having the highest overall crime rate on the planet and quadruple Canada's.
Lots of happiness your higher income is bringing you with your higher suicide rate and I'll accept a slightly lower income if it means free health care and affordable post-secondary education for everyone. newsflash: there's more to life than how much money you have.
Im sorry the United Nations countless reports disagree with you. Canada is the most Diverse nation in the world and one of the most selfless. and is carred about by more nations then any. China France japan Germany England Sweden Jamaica. just to name a few.
Well they are just to niave and trusting assuming a Canadian wouldn't like to them just to laugh at them if you tell them there is a giant igloo they think that's possible sure tell them it's called the sky dome and people play baseball there then it has a bit of truth to it.
Oh, I see, it doesn't matter how the average person has, it doesn't matter that the general population doesn't benefit from their country's GDP, all that matters is the total amount of money in the country, I got it.
You know like China-town? They have "America towns" in asia, a lot of them.
Most cartoons that are utter shit are made in Canada. Like what? Johnny Test? Americans hate that show.
Where's my fucking cookie?
As if Canada is important enough for the world to know its story. It’s not ignorant to not know something that’s not important and not worth knowing.

Yes
+Krisna Sri what's the electoral college? no googling
Aleksandra Vukovic When you vote for people to vote for your president. I know about it because of the whole Al Gore vs the other guy thing (was he some bush?) I would have preferred al gore, our science teacher showed us a video of one of his speeches on climate change then told us about how he failed to become president because of florida.

No, we're more relevant to the world because of our economic and technological advancements (such as the thing you're using to lie about.)
So they say that America isn't diverse and Canada is, and that everyone cares about Canada?
Cause thats the complete opposite.
I'm so sorry. During the presidential debates less than a year ago Americans were so pleased about the economy, my bad.
wrong we know a lot of things that go on in america because you guys think its such a big deal and no nothing about canada
What do you expect from Mike Huckabee, he's a bass player ( so am I ) What a maroon. Doesn't he host a show on Fox now? Mike, you're meter is terrible and maybe you should learn some new chops and surprise us once in a while.
What do you expect from ANY politician, American or Canadian?
this made my day
WE INVENTED THE LIGHTBULB!!!!!!
So
There is a real thing as a real Dutch person. I know that because I live in the Netherlands. You, that you commented that are you american?
@T. Zappa & the light bulb with tungsten filament was alresady in use in Europe for years. . . Edison was a fraud & a thief. There wa a genius American at that time, but the media didn't blow him up. His name was Nikola Tesla--the FBI went in & stole all his inventions, including how to generate free electricity from ambient energy in the air. Less amazing inventions they gave for free to a startup called General Electric. Edison, like Lucky Lindberg(the 473rd(or so) person to fly solo across the Atlantic, is a media hype, proof only that the American media machine can create powerful lies out of whole cloth.
We hoo?
This is just sad!
Lol we sat doing nothing? We burned down the freaking White House ^^
The Canadians turned back invading forces in Ontario. The Brits were the ones that invaded DC and almost razed it. You guys played a good part in it, but you ain't the gladiator of this story.
Blake Childers everyone was under the British flag, Canada was still a British coloney, that doesnt change that Canadians were involved as British troops since the British were using most of their resources elsewhere. The independent militias and native tribes turned back but but the Canadians who were in the British military continued because the Canadian military was the British military. Just because the flag they held was British doesnt change that there were individual Canadians involved.
MrMapleleaf77 to the
Nathan Carriere lol
I hav
Nathan Carriere I think the US tried to take British Columbia land back in the 1800s and Canadians not only we defended it but we also gained land.
Everyone is ignorant about something. This is humour in bad taste and intent.
The Nationalistic pride you and so many others show is destroying our world.
