The Whisky war (or Liquor War) between us and Denmark ended in June 2022 around Russia's first invasion of Ukraine. It was meant to symbolize to other countries that land disputes can be resolved peacefully.
I was about 12 years old, my baby sister got to close to a goose and it started attacking. I got in the middle of it and my sister made her escape. I was not so lucky. I had bruises on my bruises. Luckily no broken bones. But a lengthy visit to the emergency room so they could ensure I had no internal bleeding. I think Canada could easily weaponize the goose.
We had some geese on our acreage. They made very good watchdogs, and if they decided you weren't getting out of your car, in your car you stayed until one of my parents called them off.
@@realexivus950 Now I'm picturing a sci-fi horror film in which a group of RCMP officers is investigating a remote Canadian village devastated by Canada goose attacks, and one of the group wants to smuggle a couple of geese back for use as weapons. The title: _Anserines_
Just yesterday I was taking a walk during my lunch break. There was a pair of geese on the grass with their little gosling. As i began to pass by one of the parents lowered its head and started to menace me. I put up my hand and said HEY. it stopped it's advance and I passed by without further incident. And that was my brush with death
1:19 Moose are a pretty common sight where I live, my house borders on a forest and the hoa doesn’t let us have fences. The biggest one I’ve seen had to have been a good 6 feet tall. One of the babies licked the outdoor dining table once.
I instinctively say thank you, even when no one’s holding the door. To solve this, the minute I realize I just add ‘thank you, door’. Thank your doors for their service.
15:00 there’s several places throughout Canada that have outdoor hockey tournaments with several rinks and games going on at the same time. The amount of hockey equipment worn depends on the tournament itself.
13:27 The tiny chairs are a reference to the kids' TV show _The Friendly Giant_ which aired on CBC from 1958 to 1985. At the start of each episode the title character would invite people to have a seat on some tiny plastic furniture.
I was walking the Skyline trail in Cape Breton NS about 18 years ago. Took a double take off the path, about 20ft away was the largest moose I ever seen in my life. It had half of it's body out of the thick brush eating leafs off the tree. It's shoulders were so broad, it was probably the width of a grown mans spread arm length, HUGE antlers, it was at least 6ft tall. Watched it for about 20 minutes, then it reversed and slid into the thick brush and disappeared.
Mert, what you thought was an otter was a beaver. Ha Ha, the goose was chasing the mailman because he kept mispronouncing his city as Miss-iss-ah-gee-wa.
The rubber duck is real, it's part of an event held every year where they "Race" rubber duckys down a section of river...

Also worth noting that is was commissioned as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations in 2017, so while $200k may sound high for a giant duck, it wasn't just a random expenditure.

I used to work security at a large Toronto mall and every spring we had to escort mall staff to/from their cars because a pair of Canadian geese had made a nest on the roof. Not even at ground level but they would attack any human coming out of a car or the mall. It's illegal to move their nests or hurt them so we just had to deal with it every spring.
On canadian health care, i got a compound fracture that broke my upper arm into three pieces and required 12 pins to put it back together. Didn't cost me a cent for anything, including painkillers. I brought a box of chocolates to the nurses went i went for my first follow up to say thanks.
Think of our Canadian Geese as 'The Black Watch'. They prefer peace, but if you intrude on their territory, they are the most fierce combtants in the world. 8-0. Gotta love those lunatic birds. Also? Their loyalty factor is off the charts.
Saw a family of Canada geese crossing a busy road today, right through the middle of the intersection. Thankfully all the cars stopped for them. The babies were so cute.
I've never seen a moose (caribou on the highway in the interior of BC, yes). And I'm old and well-travelled. But there's a reason why we call Canada geese "cobra chickens". They're vicious.
13:56 - That's a sign that indicates a wall mounted fire hydrant. Mainly used on the sides of big buildings given they have two separate connection points: one serves as an output hydrant supply to fire trucks, and the other is an input which takes in pressurized water to push it into the building's built in sprinkler system. You want to be real sure you know which one you are connecting to since one gives you the constant water you need to fight a fire and the other one will just drain the sprinkler system of it's water and can leave a vacuum/air in the pipes which is a costly thing to fix properly.
Canada has maintained a policy of peaceful resolution over conflict almost since it became an independent acting state in the mid 1800s believe it or not. While Canada participated in both World Wars the country wasn't actually officially at war with anyone. Fun fact. Instead of wording it as going to fight Germans it was often phrased as going to help Britain cause it sounds nicer.
I played at a lot of rinks that were 4 rinks together inside a large dome, with a restaurant and chairs above in the middle for the parents to watch and stay warm. There is a reason most professional teams have like 50% Canadian players in Hockey, we are very competitive and the parents actually pay for tickets to games usually costing $5-20 to support these massive rinks 😁
Once I walked around a circular drive and unbeknownst to me a moose was walking the other way. We surprised each other, politely said hello and continued on. She was easy 6' at the shoulder and likely a ton or more. That could have gone very bad.
Never get in between a moose mama and her calves. Years ago, the kids missed 2 days of school(they couldn't get to the school bus up on the road. 75-foot drive) when a cow moose and her twins took up residency one cold winter.(eating willow branches) The kids couldn't leave the deck or she charged at them. I finally dropped a bale on the other side of the drive for her when I fed the horses.(hidden behind an outbuilding, Illegal to feed the wildlife here) She stayed over there after that.
Or between a bull moose and... anything... in the fall. When the velvet is off, and the antlers are on, they can only think about fighting or fucking, and you want neither of those.
They are not called goose or geese they are called the Canadian Cobra Chicken some sick scientist mated a chicken and a cobra making the most feared airborn bird in Canada
A lot of Canadians actually haven't seen a moose. Most of Canada's population is in southern Ontario where the wildlife is generally not very big creatures.

Hey I get to be the expert for once! Hi there, Canadian here, we have since settled the Hans Island dispute with Denmark and now technically have a land border with the EU. I worked on the project when I was a student. Fun times
i watch other people that make videos on youtube and found they show a video for 1 minute then pause it and talk for 10 minutes. you are the first person i ever subscribed to and thank you for the videos of canada. ps i am a proud canadian from saskatchewan.
Fun fact Canada and Denmark finally ended the 70+ year ‘Whiskey War’ over Hans island after Russia invaded Ukraine as a symbol of peace. Canada and Denmark decided to split the island and so we now share a land border 😊❤
The No Name brand is a brand that is associated with one of our grocery outlet. It is priced lower than other brands. A lot of those products are actually made in the same factory as the brand name, and in many cases, it is the exact same product in a different package. 10:40 That "war" is officially over. We agreed to split the island halfway, meaning that we now have a border with Denmark. 16:50 The bear pooping is a reference to a Sharmin commercial (toilet paper brand).
No the bear one is referencing " does a bear shot in the woods" which means "yes, obviously". eg, are you hungry? Does a bear shìt in the woods.. do want to go out drinking this weekend? Does a bear shot in the woods...
The picture of the lake with all the rinks cleared is the worlds largest pond hockey tournament at Tobique Valley,NB but sadly last winter was so warm it had to be canceled due to bad ice.
We met a bull moose during a week long canoe trip through algonquin park. We're Canadian, so we waited until the moose finished munching on the "seaweed", and then went to where the moose was at chest deep. I had a 5ft paddle and tried to touch bottom where it was. 5ft paddle, 3ft arm, and couldn't touch bottom.
re No-one named Karen since 2019, the video picked up that story from a parody website (Toronto Harold, similar to The Beaverton or South Canada's The Onion...
The struggle with Denmark is over we share the Island the 50 year dispute is done no blood shed no warships no bombs or missiles, just the use of pens and the exchange of whiskey. Long live civilization and peaceful cooperation with friends.
As a Canadian, there is no option to turn down the Sass level. We embody the SASS! 😂 If we aren't sassy for a long enough period of time, we will explode. Or possibly murder someone. Depends on the day, really.
Once, when I was driving back to visit my parents in Ontario (I lived in Alberta), I was really tired just east of the Manitoba/Ontario border. So I pulled into a rest-stop, and put my seat back for a nap, and rolled the window down, since it was spring and the weather was nice. I woke up to a bad smell, opened my eyes to a moose-cow with her entire head inside the cab of my pickup. She snuffled around a bit, then lost interest since I didn't have anything to eat. Lucky for me, moose don't eat people, people eat people. At least, I think that's how it goes...
The 'This, That and the Other Streets are in Nova Scotia in Dartmouth in a community called Porter's Lake. I have a friend who lives on one of them (which is not a street). Carol in Nova Scotia

@18:02 I assume they're saying the Canadian Aircraft Carrier that the helicopters are taking off from is disguised as an iceberg. Icebergs are not uncommon along the east coast of Newfoundland and Labrador in spring, in the area known as "Iceberg Alley"! Some are huge, certainly big enough to dwarf a couple of helicopters.
I worked at a Canadian business and had duties as cash manager and was responsible for cash floats, deposits and larger cash returns to some customers. The first of the new Canadian bills issued were the $100 bills, and the week they came out I'd gotten 20 of them from the bank for a customers return. Not only are they maple colored, I noticed that they really do have a faint maple smell as I was confirming the count of them. I can't say if this was a coincidence or some coy bugger's idea of humor or not, but the newly minted ones did indeed smell like maple.🇨🇦
If you ever come to Canada, you can stay where I am north eastern Ontario, where you can look in the sky and see a UFO any night or if you listen hard enough, you can hear Sasquatch scream
I live in Haliburton Ontario, about 150 miles north of Toronto. I have had seen moose wandering through my yard. They wander wherever they please since not much can stop a full grown moose.
I work in Huntington Beach California. There is a park on my way to work. It is populated by nice laid back Expat Canadian Geese. They are so happy. However, I am not sure that they do not know they are no longer in Canada because the abbreviation for both the state and the country is CA.
That sign with the two circles means Siamese. It’s a type of water supply connection that is used by fire fighters and fire protection sprinkler systems.
I never got to see the moose but i was on a train from Ontario to Alberta and some were in Saskatchewan (i think) the train had to stop for 12 hours because a massive bull moose was just laying down on the tracks and didnt want to move, and since we were in the middle of no were it took a while for any sort of animal control to come in to get it moving, i remember the conductor saying that if we had hit that thing there was a high chance of the train getting derailed
I’m Canadian yet live Kobe, Japan. I was a military brat (meaning my father was in the military thus moved everywhere quite often). I’ve seen quite a lot of Canada. Everywhere is different, from landscapes, food, amount of sun available, temperatures and so on. We almost never use paper cash anymore (here in japan everything is cash based). We tap everything. Most people don’t carry actual cash.
I once lived in a trailer in rural Nova Scotia. This is a container house propped up off of the ground. I was brushing my teeth and was surprised when the face of a moose took up the entire bathroom window. That thing must have been 7 feet tall (without the antlers)
The frozen lake was curated to make rinks. You have to polish and flood and polish a skating rink, natural ice is bumpy from wind and waves when it was forming, and from snow falling on it when it was freezing, and so not safe to skate at high speeds on. We also flood the rinks with ice to help build up the thickness of the ice to keep it at a safe level.
Yeah, if you get new bills of money in Canada they are indeed partially made of plastic and so they're waterproof... And the new bills do actually genuinely smell like maple syrup on the see through area at the end of the bill. But they have to be NEW ...the smell does eventually wear off but yes, that is genuinely a real thing.
A wee bit too much maple syrup. The only time I've seen a moose (a female full size) was in Minnesota, and I was on a motorbike so... WIIIIIDE clearance. There's also a little island in Canadian waters - but is France! You need a passport to get there, there should be a meme about that.
We lived outside of Calgary, and one day we heard crying and wailing from a baby moose standing in the middle of a small duck pond. Called animal rescue and they told us " Do NOT get close to the baby....the mother will be close, she is probably searching for food, and mother's leave their baby's in the middle of ponds, so that coyotes and wolves won't get them, get back in your car" They did call me later to let me know they checked it out and saw a moose and baby in the area eating.....
Cut my ear brow bad after a seizure. Went to the hospital to get stitches. Doctor "you may not need them." Removes bandage from eye "Okay so your definitely getting stitches." He couldn't believe how bad it was bleeding, that i came to from seizure and figured out way to the hospital during covid without driving 65km away. Got a decent sized scar on my left to go with the othe 2 caused by seizures to the left. Seem to not like my left side of my face during seizures it seems.
The beaver is our national animal. It’s even on our nickel, a 5 cent coin. When I was 13, my dog Clementine and I were walking down an old mining road and two moose came out of the bush. I had to control my Springer Spaniel/beagle cross puppy until they went back into the bush. I was a 10 minute walk from my house! We call Canada geese cobra chickens. They hiss like cobras, and chickens sounds better than goose I guess. They’re only really nasty in breeding season. Lots of funny but informative videos if you do a search for the bird on RUclips. No Name products are great, less costly than brand names, and many are brand name items going incognito. Finally, moose lick cars because they put salt on the roads to keep ice under control. All mammals need salt but moose can’t use the salt shaker with their hooves! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
@@catherinetodd5163 I STILL maintain that the Canada Geese ARE Canadian - but just like some OTHER Canadians - they are "Snowbirds" as well as "Canada Geese." (They have our name, our characteristics ie. beautiful, but don't try to mess with them - & WOULD have Canadian passports - if ANYBODY thought they were going to try to stop them from travelling without one - NOBODY is that foolish. 🤕😉.)
Yet so many of you Canadians come live here, work here, study here, vacation here, get your new military pilots trained here (given that your pathetic military doesn't even have trainer aircraft anymore)....
Just back to Canada today. Was so wierd at the us airport to see nicely done signs " Have Fun, No Guns". Told not to take guns is like shocking to me for here, picure of pistol and all guns. omg
Biggest moose I've seen in person was about 2 meters tall at the shoulders. He was just off the side of the road as I drove by, and I felt pretty tiny in my car. He didn't pay any attention to me though.
The picture of the multiple hockey rinks is from The National Pond Hockey Campionship held in Haliburton, Ontario. A very good childhood friend of mine is the one that does it.
The picture of the hockey rinks is the World Pond Hockey Championships that takes place in my home province of New Brunswick. The event is held in a small town called Plaster Rock (where my sister lives! Population - 1000) in the north western part of the province. It takes place in February and teams come from all over the world to compete. It was first held in 2002 and has grown tremendously since then. It's quite an exciting 4 days.
I just luv your perspective on our perspective on us. I especially luv our music choice for Figure Skating! Luv my AccaDacca❤ thanks Mert. Northern Alberta Canada
I remember when I was like 6 and I was at our local festival and I saw that giant rubber duck floating down the river and I cried tears of joy. It’s my favourite memory.
Staying a week in Banff is one of my best memories. Didn’t practice any winter sports, just travelled around and marvelling at the natural beauties around.
I have indeed been followed by a juvenile moose when I was watering my flowers. Said moose had been wandering downtown Calgary, and they relocated it the day before up here in the mountains. I'm originally from Toronto, and I miss bagged milk.
Haha Should have revolted back in the 70’s when an American company in the west of Canada, decided it didn’t want to bite the cost of upgrading/retooling for the bagged milk when Canada changed to the metric system. Hence, no more bagged milk in Western Canada. Bagged milk is also in the Maritime provinces as well as Ontario and Quebec.
@@catherinetodd5163 That doesn't seem to make sense. Since they had (they did, didn't they?) to change to the metric system, they were going to have to change things anyways. Wouldn't it be easier (& LESS COSTLY?) to change to a slightly different size of thin plastic material bags than to spend for the thicker, heavier cartons to use for the milk? (Or was this just a "cut off your nose to spite your face" kind of moments - where they would prefer to spend MORE on heavier, thicker, condensed wax papered cartons, than on just a slightly different size of thin, plastic bags. Re-tooling a factory to change where their machinery cuts & seals these bags vs. get brand new equipment as well as completely different materials to MAKE these cartons?)
By the time this video came out, Hans Island has a line drawn down it and the waterway as well. Due to Canadian/Denmark having other countries NAG us, we sorted it out.

As others have said there are a lot of us of Scots descent here in Canada. My grandparents (father's side), uncle and one of my aunts came to Canada in 1921 from near Inverkip. My mom's father's family (Cameron) came in about 1910 from a village near Glasgow. Her mom's family came in the 1890s and were descended from Ulster Scots in Northern Ireland. While growing up, every parade or large event had a pipe band playing and they all knew at least 2 pieces (Black Bear, Highland Laddie, Skye Boat song, etc.) and Scotland the Brave. More than a dozen Reserve units in the Canadian Forces are Highland units.
The disputed island between Canada and Denmark has been resolved. In the end they just split it down the middle. Now a Canada shares a border with a Denmark as well as the USA.

i watch other people that make videos on youtube and found they show a video for 1 minute then pause it and talk for 10 minutes. you are the first person i ever subscribed to and thank you for the videos of canada. ps i am a proud canadian from saskatchewan.
I can't believe you asked if that was an otter! It's a beaver, man!!
Fun fact Canada and Denmark finally ended the 70+ year ‘Whiskey War’ over Hans island after Russia invaded Ukraine as a symbol of peace. Canada and Denmark decided to split the island and so we now share a land border 😊❤
The No Name brand is a brand that is associated with one of our grocery outlet. It is priced lower than other brands. A lot of those products are actually made in the same factory as the brand name, and in many cases, it is the exact same product in a different package.
10:40 That "war" is officially over. We agreed to split the island halfway, meaning that we now have a border with Denmark.
16:50 The bear pooping is a reference to a Sharmin commercial (toilet paper brand).
No the bear one is referencing " does a bear shot in the woods" which means "yes, obviously". eg, are you hungry? Does a bear shìt in the woods.. do want to go out drinking this weekend? Does a bear shot in the woods...
and no name has a larger profit margin
The picture of the lake with all the rinks cleared is the worlds largest pond hockey tournament at Tobique Valley,NB but sadly last winter was so warm it had to be canceled due to bad ice.
We met a bull moose during a week long canoe trip through algonquin park. We're Canadian, so we waited until the moose finished munching on the "seaweed", and then went to where the moose was at chest deep. I had a 5ft paddle and tried to touch bottom where it was. 5ft paddle, 3ft arm, and couldn't touch bottom.
re No-one named Karen since 2019, the video picked up that story from a parody website (Toronto Harold, similar to The Beaverton or South Canada's The Onion...
The struggle with Denmark is over we share the Island the 50 year dispute is done no blood shed no warships no bombs or missiles, just the use of pens and the exchange of whiskey. Long live civilization and peaceful cooperation with friends.
my name is joe AND I AM canadian. thank you for this vid

As a Canadian, there is no option to turn down the Sass level. We embody the SASS! 😂 If we aren't sassy for a long enough period of time, we will explode. Or possibly murder someone. Depends on the day, really.
Once, when I was driving back to visit my parents in Ontario (I lived in Alberta), I was really tired just east of the Manitoba/Ontario border. So I pulled into a rest-stop, and put my seat back for a nap, and rolled the window down, since it was spring and the weather was nice. I woke up to a bad smell, opened my eyes to a moose-cow with her entire head inside the cab of my pickup. She snuffled around a bit, then lost interest since I didn't have anything to eat. Lucky for me, moose don't eat people, people eat people. At least, I think that's how it goes...
Thats crazy lol. Thanks for sharing. I have only seen moose in northern alberta and the kootenay valley. Never ever ended up close to one like that!
Also people eat moose
The 'This, That and the Other Streets are in Nova Scotia in Dartmouth in a community called Porter's Lake. I have a friend who lives on one of them (which is not a street). Carol in Nova Scotia
Porters Lake...is NOT in Dartmouth...never has been...never will be...its patrolled by the RCMP, not the former Dartmouth Police...it has always belonged to Halifax County, which is now HRM. bee
@@michaelhamm6805 ^^^^ Found the Porter's Lake resident :D
@@michaelhamm6805 sorry I offended your sense of geography. I live in Halifax, I cross the bridge and drive through Dartmouth to get to Porters Lake. Lighten up
@18:02 I assume they're saying the Canadian Aircraft Carrier that the helicopters are taking off from is disguised as an iceberg. Icebergs are not uncommon along the east coast of Newfoundland and Labrador in spring, in the area known as "Iceberg Alley"! Some are huge, certainly big enough to dwarf a couple of helicopters.
And big enough to sink the Titanic. Hehe
Those hockey rinks were on a frozen lake in the middle of nowhere.
World Pond Hockey Championship competition.
"This street" "That street" and "The Other street" are near me... close to lakes named First Lake, Second Lake...
That Food Basics is a local here. When that story happened, it surprised even us ! :)
I worked at a Canadian business and had duties as cash manager and was responsible for cash floats, deposits and larger cash returns to some customers.
The first of the new Canadian bills issued were the $100 bills, and the week they came out I'd gotten 20 of them from the bank for a customers return. Not only are they maple colored, I noticed that they really do have a faint maple smell as I was confirming the count of them.
I can't say if this was a coincidence or some coy bugger's idea of humor or not, but the newly minted ones did indeed smell like maple.🇨🇦
If you ever come to Canada, you can stay where I am north eastern Ontario, where you can look in the sky and see a UFO any night or if you listen hard enough, you can hear Sasquatch scream
Canadians are so nice we can see memes about our country and not be offended or get mad about it.
I live in Ontario, Canada. I don't think I've ever seen a moose. People think there are moose wandering all over the place.😂
I live in Haliburton Ontario, about 150 miles north of Toronto. I have had seen moose wandering through my yard. They wander wherever they please since not much can stop a full grown moose.
That hockey rink picture was definitely a frozen lake. It happens.
I work in Huntington Beach California. There is a park on my way to work. It is populated by nice laid back Expat Canadian Geese. They are so happy. However, I am not sure that they do not know they are no longer in Canada because the abbreviation for both the state and the country is CA.
We just recently ended a 40 year war with Denmark. The whiskey war. All casualties were suffered by soldiers stumbling around drunk.
Another one I saw, I forget the issue. "You know it's bad when the Canadians are pissed!!
That sign with the two circles means Siamese. It’s a type of water supply connection that is used by fire fighters and fire protection sprinkler systems.
The “war” between Canada and Denmark is over. A treaty was made a few years ago. If memory serves it was very shortly after the Ukraine was invaded.
I never got to see the moose but i was on a train from Ontario to Alberta and some were in Saskatchewan (i think) the train had to stop for 12 hours because a massive bull moose was just laying down on the tracks and didnt want to move, and since we were in the middle of no were it took a while for any sort of animal control to come in to get it moving, i remember the conductor saying that if we had hit that thing there was a high chance of the train getting derailed
I’m Canadian yet live Kobe, Japan. I was a military brat (meaning my father was in the military thus moved everywhere quite often). I’ve seen quite a lot of Canada. Everywhere is different, from landscapes, food, amount of sun available, temperatures and so on. We almost never use paper cash anymore (here in japan everything is cash based). We tap everything. Most people don’t carry actual cash.
Canadian here. Main language French, English, Japanese and German.
I once lived in a trailer in rural Nova Scotia. This is a container house propped up off of the ground. I was brushing my teeth and was surprised when the face of a moose took up the entire bathroom window. That thing must have been 7 feet tall (without the antlers)
as a Canadian, i can confirm we do in fact have a Military, and our money does NOT smell like maple syrup
Never underestimate the Canadian geese, they are mean and vicious.
Thank you
And leave greenish turds all over the place…🫣
All those rinks were drawn onto a frozen lake lol
The frozen lake was curated to make rinks. You have to polish and flood and polish a skating rink, natural ice is bumpy from wind and waves when it was forming, and from snow falling on it when it was freezing, and so not safe to skate at high speeds on.
We also flood the rinks with ice to help build up the thickness of the ice to keep it at a safe level.
Yeah, if you get new bills of money in Canada they are indeed partially made of plastic and so they're waterproof... And the new bills do actually genuinely smell like maple syrup on the see through area at the end of the bill. But they have to be NEW ...the smell does eventually wear off but yes, that is genuinely a real thing.
A wee bit too much maple syrup. The only time I've seen a moose (a female full size) was in Minnesota, and I was on a motorbike so... WIIIIIDE clearance.
There's also a little island in Canadian waters - but is France! You need a passport to get there, there should be a meme about that.
There are actually 2 - St. Pierre & Miquelon.
We lived outside of Calgary, and one day we heard crying and wailing from a baby moose standing in the middle of a small duck pond. Called animal rescue and they told us " Do NOT get close to the baby....the mother will be close, she is probably searching for food, and mother's leave their baby's in the middle of ponds, so that coyotes and wolves won't get them, get back in your car" They did call me later to let me know they checked it out and saw a moose and baby in the area eating.....
Cut my ear brow bad after a seizure. Went to the hospital to get stitches.
Doctor "you may not need them."
Removes bandage from eye
"Okay so your definitely getting stitches."
He couldn't believe how bad it was bleeding, that i came to from seizure and figured out way to the hospital during covid without driving 65km away.
Got a decent sized scar on my left to go with the othe 2 caused by seizures to the left. Seem to not like my left side of my face during seizures it seems.
The duck was a traveling tourist attraction and it brought in millions of tourist dollars for the areas it visited
The beaver is our national animal. It’s even on our nickel, a 5 cent coin. When I was 13, my dog Clementine and I were walking down an old mining road and two moose came out of the bush. I had to control my Springer Spaniel/beagle cross puppy until they went back into the bush. I was a 10 minute walk from my house! We call Canada geese cobra chickens. They hiss like cobras, and chickens sounds better than goose I guess. They’re only really nasty in breeding season. Lots of funny but informative videos if you do a search for the bird on RUclips. No Name products are great, less costly than brand names, and many are brand name items going incognito. Finally, moose lick cars because they put salt on the roads to keep ice under control. All mammals need salt but moose can’t use the salt shaker with their hooves! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
7:00 Are they seriously blurring out a jug that probably says "Apple Juice"?
The 'war' between Canada and Denmark over Hans island was stopped after Russia invaded Ukraine.
It's "Canada Geese" not Canadian Geese
The Canada Geese ARE Canadian, so...I don't think we should be so harsh on this one.
North American, actually. They breed in Canada and the northern USA mostly, but are found all throughout North America.
@@catherinetodd5163 I STILL maintain that the Canada Geese ARE Canadian - but just like some OTHER Canadians - they are "Snowbirds" as well as "Canada Geese."
(They have our name, our characteristics ie. beautiful, but don't try to mess with them - & WOULD have Canadian passports - if ANYBODY thought they were going to try to stop them from travelling without one - NOBODY is that foolish. 🤕😉.)
@catherinetodd5163 . You mean like your American Eagles.
biggest moose I've seen was probably 8ft tall? like 2.5 meters ?
America always says they have a southern broader problem with Mexico, but we think we have a southern border problem with America
Yet so many of you Canadians come live here, work here, study here, vacation here, get your new military pilots trained here (given that your pathetic military doesn't even have trainer aircraft anymore)....

More than happy to stay down here. I don't go where I am not wanted. Please reciprocate
@@dianethomas9384I'm Canadian and i dont share that person's views about our southern border
USA is our closest and trusted friend.
Should be allowed on both sides
Lmao my name is Gary and I live in Canada. Not many of us left
Just back to Canada today. Was so wierd at the us airport to see nicely done signs " Have Fun, No Guns". Told not to take guns is like shocking to me for here, picure of pistol and all guns. omg
You'll save a lot of money buying no name brands. We love it.
sadly, the stores have a higher profit for no name stuff, helps them rack in more money
Was threatened by a moose while canoeing, didn t have to threaten twice, it was huge, seemed about 3 meters with full antlers
Biggest moose I've seen in person was about 2 meters tall at the shoulders. He was just off the side of the road as I drove by, and I felt pretty tiny in my car.
He didn't pay any attention to me though.
The picture of the multiple hockey rinks is from The National Pond Hockey Campionship held in Haliburton, Ontario. A very good childhood friend of mine is the one that does it.
The picture of the hockey rinks is the World Pond Hockey Championships that takes place in my home province of New Brunswick. The event is held in a small town called Plaster Rock (where my sister lives! Population - 1000) in the north western part of the province. It takes place in February and teams come from all over the world to compete. It was first held in 2002 and has grown tremendously since then. It's quite an exciting 4 days.
I just luv your perspective on our perspective on us. I especially luv our music choice for Figure Skating! Luv my AccaDacca❤ thanks Mert. Northern Alberta Canada
The multiple hockey rinks is farther north usually for tournaments
I remember when I was like 6 and I was at our local festival and I saw that giant rubber duck floating down the river and I cried tears of joy. It’s my favourite memory.
The Hockey rinks are on "The Snye" in Ft McMurray AB. Made specifically for the "Largest Outdoor Hockey Tournament"
CFL Grey Cup. The colour is Gray
I'm pretty sure the hockey rink picture is just a lake that's been frozen over during the winter and then they just Zamboni it for the public to use
When I worked in Banff Alberta, we would often have moose enter into the rooms we would be cleaning. 😂😂
Staying a week in Banff is one of my best memories. Didn’t practice any winter sports, just travelled around and marvelling at the natural beauties around.
Very Proud of you Mert. Hockey rink. Not Ice Hockey rink. Goes without saying
I have indeed been followed by a juvenile moose when I was watering my flowers. Said moose had been wandering downtown Calgary, and they relocated it the day before up here in the mountains. I'm originally from Toronto, and I miss bagged milk.
Burlington/Hamilton..IAM in Edmonton..I miss it too!
Aw oh! Am I sensing a milk revolt?
Haha Should have revolted back in the 70’s when an American company in the west of Canada, decided it didn’t want to bite the cost of upgrading/retooling for the bagged milk when Canada changed to the metric system. Hence, no more bagged milk in Western Canada.
Bagged milk is also in the Maritime provinces as well as Ontario and Quebec.
@@catherinetodd5163 That doesn't seem to make sense. Since they had (they did, didn't they?) to change to the metric system, they were going to have to change things anyways.
Wouldn't it be easier (& LESS COSTLY?) to change to a slightly different size of thin plastic material bags than to spend for the thicker, heavier cartons to use for the milk?
(Or was this just a "cut off your nose to spite your face" kind of moments - where they would prefer to spend MORE on heavier, thicker, condensed wax papered cartons, than on just a slightly different size of thin, plastic bags. Re-tooling a factory to change where their machinery cuts & seals these bags vs. get brand new equipment as well as completely different materials to MAKE these cartons?)
Canada,an apartment above a crackhouse..
😅 our money rips!!!
By the time this video came out, Hans Island has a line drawn down it and the waterway as well. Due to Canadian/Denmark having other countries NAG us, we sorted it out.
But what the US doesn’t admit is their military comes up here and gets trained by us how to survive
That's not true.
@@terryomalley1974”RESOLUTE BAY, Nunavut, Canada - Members of the Vermont, New Hampshire, Virginia and Alaska National Guard and active-duty members of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps are participating in an Arctic training exercise with the Canadian Army.”
You were saying?
Also, look up Foreign Military Training Goose Bay, NFLD. It is also the secondary landing site for NASA
@@terryomalley1974 Yes it is true they come up here to train but it isn't true they don't admit it, in fact they brag about it. - Several courses but for one, check out Air Operations Survival Course- taught in Resolute Bay, Nunavut. Winter survival and not for the faint of heart. Often attended by US military personnel.
As others have said there are a lot of us of Scots descent here in Canada. My grandparents (father's side), uncle and one of my aunts came to Canada in 1921 from near Inverkip. My mom's father's family (Cameron) came in about 1910 from a village near Glasgow. Her mom's family came in the 1890s and were descended from Ulster Scots in Northern Ireland. While growing up, every parade or large event had a pipe band playing and they all knew at least 2 pieces (Black Bear, Highland Laddie, Skye Boat song, etc.) and Scotland the Brave. More than a dozen Reserve units in the Canadian Forces are Highland units.
yes, it's true. Our money (some of the bills) smell of maple syrup. I hate it but it's funny.
14:49 The reason is probably a hockey tournament.
Canuck the crow was a friend of mine.
The disputed island between Canada and Denmark has been resolved. In the end they just split it down the middle. Now a Canada shares a border with a Denmark as well as the USA.
Where I live, the neighborhood park has two rinks, one for hockey and one for just skating.
1915 and Geneva? Might wanna check that out 🤔
Ah yes the Geneva Checklist
