I have seen a full grown bull moose on the way to a cabin in Ontario. You just have no idea how big, how silly ( HUGE ANTLERS', stick legs ), and majestic they look, all at once.You are one of the most real RUclipsr I've ever seen.
The voyageur (men in a canoe) appeared on the Canadian silver dollar going back to day one, and the same design was going to be used on the new dollar coin to replace the dollar bill. When the voyageur die was stolen on the way to the mint, the dollar coin was redesigned to include the loon. That's how we ended up with the loonie.
When the "dollar bill was replaced" the loonie began, that was... 2003? There were "rare" dollar coins before that. They were not seen often in circulation, but they did exist. It wasn't a loonie, but it did exist. People call the quarter a moose... but it is even labelled a caribou. Cariboo are also a type of "deer" but much smaller and mellower than Moose. Starbucks exists and it is around... but I doubt it is as common as other places. Nothing is as big as hockey. Lacrosse exist and you can see it. However you almost have to "look for it" rather than being exposed to it. Losing the cup to Florida still stings. Why Florida? Seriously, a state that was never even seen "wild ice"?
I cannot tell you if I ever knew anyone who watched even one Lacrosse game. Popular? NOT! Kariboo are large but Moose are twice the size. I saw a photo of a Moose beside a Jeep. It's belly was taller than the Jeep. Kariboo beer, from Northern BC is a strong Malt.....delicious and would soon become a fave Down-Under!
Hi Tash. Yes I've seen a moose, walking down a street here in Saint John, New Brunswick (no not your favourite St John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, but the one that is the oldest incorporated city in Canada, 1785 to be exact. Keep in mind Newfoundland didn't join Canada until 1949). It was a few decades ago, but a moose wandered into the city on a busy industrial street. It was eventually captured and returned to nature. It's NOT common for this to happen. Deer, on the other hand, can be seen on streets a lot of the time, in North Saint John. Cheers from 🇨🇦.
A Caribou is an undomesticated reindeer. In places like Norway , all the caribou are domesticated like cattle so they are then called reindeer, as you can use reins on them to pull your sleigh.
The name 'Reindeer" is derived from the old Norse word "hreinin", which means "horned animal" (both males and females have horns). It has nothing to do with using reins, lol!
@@dawnfrench6663 but they do use reins which makes it applicable. I’m sure it may have originally been derived from ancient Viking, but the anglicized spelling has been adapted to the modern version of the Anglo rein, and the ancient meaning, spelling and language has been refitted for the English language.
@@peterzimmer9549 No. The old Norse word hreinn became reinsdyr in modern Norwegian, hence the English translation of reindeer. Oh, and although all Vikings were Norse, not all Norse were Vikings.
I'm pretty sure that we started using the Loonie in 1988, maybe 1987. As for heart-stopping wildlife encounters... I hopped off a Greyhound bus, late on Halloween, in Banff, Alberta. Walking to the hostel, i happened to walk past a grazing elk, and thought it was a statue, until I saw it exhale. I wasn't more than ten feet away from it.
Hi, Tash. Lacrosse is not as popular as it might made to be. By time the National Hockey League Stanley Cup finals draw to a close, The Canadian football season is starting to get underway. Canadian football is basically the same as American football, but with some noteworthy differences. The football field is wider and a little longer than the American one. In Canadian football, the team with the ball has only three downs, whereas, there are four downs in American football. Football and baseball are played during the summer months. Canadia's Grey Cup is held in November, whereas, the U.S. Superbowl is in Fenruary of the following year. Australian rules football is noticeably different from either Canadian or American football.
Hi Tash, Bob and Doug Mckenzie have been a Canadian icon for many years along with Spud their dog. Bob and Doug Mckenzie appeared in the video you reacted to. Now depending where you are from in Canada, people have various icons. But one that stands out a lot here in Quebec is the poutine.
Referenced by Wikipedia - The loonie, introduced in 1987, was a replacement for the paper version of the Canadian dollar (CAD). This replacement was done both as a cost-saving measure and under pressure from vending machine operators and transit groups. Noted wildlife artist Robert-Ralph Carmichael designed the 11-sided, aureate bronze coin.
Oh, great, now you got me thinking, lol! If the list was longer than ten, I would have also said the Calgary Stampede, Spirit Bears, Inukshuks, the CN Tower, Anne of Green Gables, poutine, the Bluenose and, just for Tash, Will Arnett and Hayden Christensen. :)
@@karlweir3198 unfortunately, something more to add to the landfill site that might not deteriorate rapidly to nothing, although very convenient with individual's varied tastebuds!
The caribou on the quarter is in remembrance of the Newfoundland Regiment bravery and sacrifice in World War One. It was the Newfie's symbol . They were a separate Dominion them.
wish people would stop calling the elk on the quarter a caribou.. two animals that look much the same but are different. elk are larger, their fur is darker, their meat is more red and have more fat and their rumps are larger. there is also a territory range that differ between the two.
Two weeks ago our city (Peterborough, Ontario - pop. 85,000) had a moose on the loose. It was eventually caught & re-located to a more moose-friendly area.
Canada switched from the bill to the coin in 1987 for the loonie. Lacross has pockets of supporters i find the Canadian football league our version to the NFL is more of our summer sport unless you are from toronoto.
Hey Tash, interesting list, but a number of them seem to be stereotypes. Two symbols I might add to the list are a long weekend at the cottage/camping, and the annual Grey Cup game which is the Canadian football championship, or National Drunk depending on who you ask. I will send you some information on Discord on the evolution of the Canadian dollar before the loonie.
Totally unrelated to anything. Does Australian health care cover you when you are in other countries? That would make your upcoming trip to Canada less expensive.Love all your vids.😊
In 1978, the official Aussie delegation to the Commonwealth games, held in Edmonton, was promoting Fosters at every event they attended. It's awful beer though. The thing is, Molson Canadian is not really any better, nor Labatt's Blue. These dominant Canadian brands are what you drink when you can't find anything else. They are as key as any other factor in the huge increase and continuing growth of micro breweries right across the country. Sadly, I have never found a decent replica of the superb real ale brewed in the Yorkshire region of England. My high bar of taste and quality is Samuel Smiths Yorkshire bitter. La Cross is maybe 10% as popular as hockey, and even then, only in a few regions of Canada.
Tim Hortons K cups are available in almost every supermarket and drug store......as well as at, of course, Time Hortons locations. And Starbucks is around, but not like Tim Hortons.
Canadian beer Foster Beer same don't go out of your way to get a Canadian Tash Tim Horton average coffee and food not great just everywhere once upon the time they used to be good but went down hill rapidly after being sold.
While there are definitely people who play La Crosse, I have never met one. I don't know how it got to be designated our national sport but then again, is it really important? People here are very hockey centric.
Molson and Labatts in Canada are like Fosters to you: no one with taste buds drinks them. Good ads though. Besides both breweries were taken over by bigger US breweries decades ago.
don't worry about trying to find Molson, it's the most known name, but it's crap and tastes like piss--we have hundreds of much better craft beers, different in each provinces, so even without leaving Canada, I can just go to another province and taste tons of different beers. loonie=1987; toonie=1996. moose, mostly in wooden areas, beware if you drive on a road that goes through a wood--very dangerous if you hit your car into it. breaks your windshield & 1000 kilos landing on yourself. might kill you & your car is wrecked. Yes, would have been nice if Oilers won. I don't mind if a USA team wins, but in a hockey city, not in Florida. (Boston, NY, Detroit & Chicago got their NHL teams in the 1920's), and it snows there. Florida is beaxh & heat--not very hockey.
I run over geese in my car as often as possible. My Loonies and Toonies? They weigh so heavy in my pants (or trousers if you're that way) I ditch them as soon as possible. I also don't like the Euro coins - just too much of them. I wonder what Aus is like.
G'Day Tash! We see quite a few animals around where we live. We are in the country very close to a lake so there are deer, moose, beavers, fox, coyotes, pelicans, seagulls, geese of all kinds lol, and the bears are out there but we don't really see them that much. I really like that I can go outside my door and be in calm, quiet nature. 🦊🦝🦌🦫🐿🦦🦨🦆🐸🐢🍁🍁. 🦘🤔🤪😁

I live in the south shore of Nova Scotia Canada and the loons are always around here. Love the sound they make. ❤
Hey Tash,love these videos. I think you would like, The Log Drivers Waltz and The Red Green Show. Pure Canadian !

Cheers mate i love all the answers to my questions, you rock
The loonie was actually introduced in 1987.
Ah, but the Florida Panther's hockey coach was from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario! Me thinks, eh?!😊
@@margaretjames6494 I thought it was "the 90's" and a quick search gave me the date 2003... and foolishly I went with it. Thanks for the correction.
Caribou have a branch of their antler that sticks forward to help with clearing snow from their food source. You can see it on the quarter.
Canada Geese, not Canadian Geese ( a breed, not a nationality. Haha!)
Oh, and we have lots of wilderness, but it isn't all covered in snow. Lol)
The interior of BC is almost a desert. We have lots of land that is snow free at least throughout the summer.
Lacrosse is popular mainly in pockets, mostly in Ontario and BC.
I cannot tell you if I ever knew anyone who watched even one Lacrosse game. Popular? NOT!
Kariboo are large but Moose are twice the size. I saw a photo of a Moose beside a Jeep. It's belly was taller than the Jeep. Kariboo beer, from Northern BC is a strong Malt.....delicious and would soon become a fave Down-Under!
its popular across the prairies too, mostly box lacrosse in the summer
the Moose, the other Winnipeg hockey team lol

Caribou is what Scandinavians refer to as reindeer.
Fun fact, 95% of the Canadian population lives within 100 miles of the U.S. border.
Obviously Starbucks is nowhere near as big as Tim's.
Snow only from October to beginning of April. Summer temps this year have been in high 30s C Were -40 in Feb
A 2 - 4 is eastern lingo. In the west we call it a case. A case of beer is 12 bottles, containing 12 oz of 6% underproof.
Great video. I can’t think of anything to add to that list, honestly.

Everyone gets this wrong Canada Goose, not Canadian goose

Since day 1 of the creation of the loonies.
The caribou on the quarter is in remembrance of the Newfoundland Regiment bravery and sacrifice in World War One. It was the Newfie's symbol . They were a separate Dominion them.
I didn’t know that!! And I’m a 76 year old Canadian woman who prides herself on her knowledge of Canada. Thank you for sharing that fact!
I am not a youngster and I have never seen a lacrosse game in my life.
Lacrosse's popularity is almost non existent in Canada
