All of the Canadians right now are probably pissed off or disappointed. (Including me.)
Do what I did. Report it.
There is no reason for you to be pissed. I mean, try to tell me, without using google, what's the capital city of Peru and the name of it's president. There is no reason for you to know that, and if you don't know it, there is no reason for me to be pissed.
Random Complex Canada is USA's neighbor, so they should at least know a little i think. And Peru's capital is Lima.
Random Complex Canada is their neighbour, we know a lot about America when they think we're maple syrup-drinking eskimos.
Lucky Charms how mad though?
“Is Canadian a language?”
...oh boy
Off to a good start 😂
that was my reaction tho. i was like "what do mean is canadian a language?!? it's like saying is american a language."
Nope. It's ENGLISH. DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH TO?
Yet they call English their language and they call themselves Americans and others not as if they are the whole continent
LOL
Did any other Canadians watch this and just wonder how humanity came to this
Yes
Pretty obvious the US education system is lacking.
"I learned how Americans think of Canada, they don't"
Yep
Yes!!!!!
“Once you get french in your system, u gotta have a prime minister”
France: *has a president*
France: *and a prime minister as well.*
James Roberts in history we were with the Britain’s and we would still serve the queen
@@koala9374 the prime minister is more like a vice president.
Juji •-• still are
The official head of state is something different than the prime minister, the US just combined these roles. Most countries have a head of state, such as a president or a king, and a prime minister, who leads the government.
As a canadian person, I am cringing so hard
1bestkk same
1bestkk samw
1bestkk *same
Same
I'm laughing the whole way through.
"I know there's a place with victoria in it"
I would be the smartest person on buzzfeed if I joined
I think most people would be xD
+Logan Bradford NO, THATS ME
you have to be Canadian to enter
That would be me as I have an IQ of 185
+Shamir Patel that scares me a little, mines 138
This is really hard to watch as a Canadian
Klein Bottle how would u feel if they made a video like this about your country and u got these answers?
People are just stating their opinions
Lol Same I wanna educate them.. by slapping them
Zlatan Ibrahimovic nobody says that here...that’s in England..where they call soccer football.
Idk if I’m wrong but I’ve just never heard anyone say that here
I am so sorry for the ignorance of too many in the US about Canada. It's an amazing country and those were easy questions. So very sad about this.
"is Canadian a language?"
me, an intellectual: *Is American a fricking language? Think again, Jesus Christ...*
Well when americans use words like Stupiest and Stupider I would say it's a fecking language.
That's the problem: they don't think.
Mish375 S your telling the truth we’re to busy saving you form 2 world wars aye aye
@@thezmadlad2974 Given that us Canadians fought with valour in both World Wars, I'd disagree. WWI actually allowed us to be able to act independently of Britain even though we were already our own country. And on WWII's D-Day alone, our troops got the furthest inland compared to the US and we were left to liberate Holland on our own. The Americans didn't believe it could be done without backup and balked at the idea, but our Newfoundland troops went in there did it anyways on their own. Remember, we may not be as well known as the US, but we still got the job done. 😉
Mish375 S is that so England bank ruptured by war same with canda
Im Canadian.......I’m offended
All of Canada is offended
So true
I am American and I only missed the population one
Look why not you answer these questions but America
Alexandra I’m offended that Canadians are offended that we don’t know these things. We didn’t have to learn any of this, but we did have to learn 50 states, 50 capitals, and where they go.
Alexandra Actually NO! Canada is better off the less USA knows about it lol
"Who is the prime minister of Canada?"
"Poutine!"
Me: "that's not wrong"
LMAO trueeeeee
at present day i would prefer poutine to be our prime minister then who actually is.
Cherry Dayz
He’s probably unfortunately going to leave the federal gouvernement in 2020. So *Justin Trudeau will leave the chat in 2020* But yes, that was a nice reply!
Cherry Dayz I know , I just forgot to say nice joke cause I was fr 😂
Ya totally, one day food will rule the world
Anyone else from Canada just like *face palm*
The phantom that is correct
I Started puking at Bear-Moose
The phantom ya
The phantom I'm not even from Canada ( live in Ohio) and I knew all of these.
omg yes
“Drake doesn’t even live there!” He’s seen at like every raptors game 😂
Ikr 😂😂
That don’t mean he lives there
@@Dylan-bj4fx he does live here he lives in Toronto. I’ve seen his house
@@Dylan-bj4fx Check out the palace he just had custom built in Toronto.
Also here in the US he has a house , And Justin Beiber lives here cause its better than canada
Ok. I am an American. And I aced this video. Want to know why these people didn't? Because the U.S. school system is absolute crap and doesn't care about anything but the U.S.
If American's actually cared about other countries we wouldn't need videos like this. I am 16 and spend my time studying Canada because it's interesting.
Yay thank you! Another celebrity here is Avril lavenge (I can't spell her last name sorry) if I'm correct. Oh also do you guys hold doors open for each other in America?
Mrsbunny5
Another celebrity is the woman who plays Jenny Mills in Sleepy Hollow (I don't know her name unfortunately)
Most people hardly hold open doors, it's really sad to see. I do every time I can, but there are plenty of people who think that they're "Too Important" to hold it open for others.
I like you, you're a good person
caityrayne Thanks mate
How does learning about Canada help you in life if you're not gonna get a job about Canada or live there in the future? I don't see no point in it. i learned about that place in third grade for extra credit..didn't make my life any better. America schools aren't shit just because they aren't teaching about other countries js
Omg, I accept that americans known nothing about Asia, but Canada? They're right next to you people!!
Don't worry. They also don't know anything about the USA.
Only uneducated Canadians know nothing about America.
In America, American's like to call Western Washington state 'Extended Canada'. I can take that with pride though, Canada is great!
How do you know?
I'm in America but never been to Canada, or I'm not close
Anyone else live in Canada and just were yelling at the screen the whole time because it hurt our brain to the fact that they didn't know anything about us? I know I was. And i swear if you think Toronto is the capital of Canada you've probably never taken geography before
I mean it is the largest city in Canada.
and if you say “New York city is the largest in the US,it’s not the capital!” it used to be.
HELL YES
Same
LMFAOOO agreed but I don't blame em ion know much about America
unppleased Same! Like I didn’t even take any classes on America’s geography, and I know that the Capitol is Washington, DC & The president is Donald Trump! I even know a few states! Arizona, California, Ohio, Kansas, Oregon, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia?, Arkansas, so yeah..
I'm shook literally half of the Canadian population knows the American Anthem and they don't know what our flag looks like.
Bro it’s not our fault we don’t teach anything g but American down here and maybe some European
Right? I’ve mastered listing all the states! I also memorized their whole anthem then before Covid I was visiting a friend who lives there and she was like, “I thought Canada had the same one as us?” When I asked if she knew Canada’s!
@@spitonitpawpaw7049 did u not study history class? it doesn’t just tech u about the history of your country
Wdym? We see your flag EVERYWHERE we go
so true, the respect we get in return
I'm a Canadian and on the first question I was like...
*THE CAPITAL IF CANADA IS OTTAWA!!!! OTTAWA!!!!*
Tbh I was like that for all the questions. XD
Same
same tho
Forgive us, I’m American and I know a lot of Canada and I learned your country’s anthem FYI beautiful anthem. Please forgive me that sometimes these types of Americans aren’t that smart as they think. I ❤️🇨🇦 peace and love from 🇺🇸✌️
Same 😂
You too? man, it was still funny.
He said canada has a prime minister because of french influence, but doesn't france have a president?
Nitheesh Velayan Unlike most places, France has a President (Emmanuel Macron) and a Prime Minister (Édouard Philippe)
Sorry for the late response.
every european country have a president and a prime minister but it's only in france that the president is leading the prime minister in france is almost like the vice president in the usa
Exactly actually is the UK the one that has a prime minister
All countries in Europe that have a monarchy (king or queen), do not have presidents. Ex. The United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Spain. They have a Monarch as head of state instead of a president. And countries like the Republic of Ireland, and France have a president who is the head of state. The heads of governments are usually called prime ministers in Europe, since they are parliamentary democracies.
Canada is a constitutional Monarchy, meaning that our version of a President is the Queen and not Prime Minister.
This was so disappointing being a Canadian myself. When the guy said “under a million” I was done.
sofia marcuzzi i know right, we’re forced to learn so much about USA yet they know nothing about us
Rachelle Fournier In The US we don’t learn anything about Canada...
When she said "is Canadian a language" I WAS DONE.
Hannah Ferreira Actually we often are forced to learn about the US. Apparently a lot more than you guys learn about Canada.
sofia marcuzzi same and when she said it’s cold like there’s some places that are but not all Canada is cold just like how it can be clod in America smh😂😂😂
“Is Canadian a language”
She’s glad I’m Canadian and live far away from her
I love that by the way i am also canadian and i live in toronto ontario
"and live far away from her" 😂
I live in the US, I just wanna talk to her. 👊
Right, but you have the same behaviour as them and listens to their music and pop culture.
@@cupio-stardust look, it clearly shows Canada is not as phenomenal as Canadians claim it to be. If you ask a person from India, Kenya and Lebanon which country Chicago is located, they say the U.S, but Toronto?? they have no clue where Toronto is lol.
i bet us canadians would do 100% better on a test about the US
No doubt you would but in fairness our country (USA) is more well known, everyone and their mama if familiar with american politics and our culture whereas the same cannot be said about Canada. It's not rocket science!
***** Chuckie, if you were to give a similar test to american's I would suspect MAYBE at best an 80% score. Have you seen the recent studies that ask Americans if Obama was to blame for the war in Iraq, 9/11 and shit, they were like 32% blaming Obama, it was quite sad to be honest.
K cool good for u!
holy trinititty we would
***** The counter argument to that is that the employees at Buzzfeed are educated. Also, in previous videos about Canada they have stated their knowledge of us other than celebrities that are featured in American media (tv, film, music, etc.).
I knew that Ottawa was the capital of Canada and I'm a teenager from Ireland!
you ( a teenager from ireland ) knows better then a full grown american adult about canada. and american is RIGHT next to us. we are like in the middle of them ( im not kidding )
+Slushie Slushie Yes, that's why I mentioned it... for the irony
i know. i just try'd to add more irony. :>
+Slushie Slushie Thank you, I like irony
But right now it's 4:30am over here so I'm gonna go to bed
I’m from Canada and I just got very offended
Sophie Lipsett me too 😤
Ya same xD
Same
Same
Me too
Killed me when Keith said the population was 1 mil.
There’s over 1 mil in Calgary alone... 😂
As well as Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa
now its over 1.6 mill and btw do u live in Calgary too?
Calgary is a different country though. Not the same thing.
@@yodhin79 Calgary is not a different country??? It’s a city in Alberta…
As a Canadian, I think it's safe to say that the average Canadian knows a lot more about America than the average American knows about Canada.
why does school teach us so much american history?
Mika_Kika ehh not really
they should teach european history, way more interesting
Prabhleen Kharbar - Robert H Lagerquist Sr PS (1473) wtf are you talking about, the entire history of Canada could fit on one sheet of paper
grayson newell my textbooks would say otherwise. R u even Canadian?
I’m an American, but I feel very sorry for Canada. I can tell this is very disrespectful, and I also know that many Americans don’t really know Canada, but this is just ridiculous. I know more than them, and I’m pretty sure I’m younger than them. So..
Sincere apologies from the USA
From: Your Friendly American
(I mean no hate to these people btw)
THANK YOU
thx lol
Bro I bet 90% of Canadians can answer this stuff if the question were reversed. I from NS (Nova Scotia, Canada) and I can name all this stuff about America and I’m HALF their age!
How is this disrespectful
Meme Team thank you
"Is Canadian a language?" God damn it Muricah XD
Alex Moore ((LOL same thoughts.))

Why? I don't get why so many Canadians are getting triggered by us Americans not knowing anything about Canada.

it's better to just cringe and force a laugh, i say
Is Canadian a language? REALLY !??!!! Im super insulted
It's funny how Canada knows about America but some Americans don't even know how the Canadian Flag looks like.
and about 13% ( 41 million ) Americans think we live in igloos....
I know right!
yeahhh
ifkr!!!!!!
+Lenny Face I'm from America and yea they are.
“They got all that french influence, once you got that europe in you system all you’re gonna have is prime ministers”

Wait, people from Argentina knows stuff about my country?
this is hilarious for a canadian to watch
***** awwww
I know right
***** I was literally going to comment the same thing since I was laughing the whole time!
***** Yeees! Especially Poutine being the president.
Ikr I was laughing the whole time
It sort of annoys be that Canadians have to learn all about America and American History in school yet Americans don't know the first thing about us
+TheShaleco When i took world geography in high school we skipped your country because our teacher said Canada was irrelevant ....
+TheShaleco True, but we can still appreciate the fact that we'll be more knowledgeable with other countries by the time our basic schooling is done. ;)
+TheShaleco I'd rather just not learn anything at all about America.
+TheShaleco i do not all the people from the u.s are like that.
+Julian Smith lol you say that
But your urban culture is American influenced. Like Hip Hop? lol that's American.
“Under a million people” there’s 2 million people in Toronto alone 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Susie Q there's 2.8 million people in Toronto. But the GTA has about 6 million people
True.
Really
Canada: we have found something we don't want

Lol this is funny
Agreed I Canadian
same, i know everything about them, they like guns
I know right I know a bunch of stuff about the us
i know eh? americans. btw i'm canadian. true north strong and free!~
That’s because America is a world power and you guys hunt moose and live in igloos.
Canadian is a very complex language, consisting of one word: eh.
don't forget "aboot"
The only problem with that is the fact that literally nobody I know (I'm Canadian) says that.
+Spinosaurus What about "sohree". I have to say I cringe every time. When I hear "sohree" instead of sorry, I'm just like "yep, another Canadian".
Cissi
Yeah, like me.
+Cissi What's that y'all? You understand y'all isn't a word...correct? Neither is fixin'. Y'all gone done and did it....I reckon. Now I be fixin' to go down the turnpike to Walmart real quick. LOL
Watching this 6 years later and yelling Trudeau while forgetting this was 6 years ago is kind of a trip ngl
"Who is the President?"! there was no answer dude
I don't blame all the Canadians in the comments for making fun of us Americans for not knowing more about Canada. I wish I did. I'd also love to visit there one day soon. Every Canadian I know is always very nice and chilled, with the cutest accent too!
On behalf of the US... Our bad, Canada... 😑
Thank you.
No problem, Eh? *Rides a moose* to go find some Canadian bacon and maple syrup
I love you on behalf of canadians
Thank you us Canadians appreciate it
I'm from there and there are white people accent Asian people accent Hispano people accent black people accent and native accent which is coolest accent if u ever heard it
Yo i'm lowkey offended.
0ut0fSync tis a thing
Why the hell would you be offended?
IKR!!!!!
Jäger i'm canadian
Jäger um almost everything in this video, I mean I’m not offended but this did hurt my brain lol
Wow. I'm surprised. In Canada they teach us about other countries. Seems like the American school system sucks. Kinda weird how some Americans don't know shit about the big country right beside them.
I wonder how much they know about their own country.
Just bc we learn about our country makes our school system suck? Yeah ok.
Krissy Meyer canada doesn't really do anything globally important does it though?
I live in San diego so we don't need to learn about Canada. We also focus more on major and world history
Kida Nasse this comment makes me laugh
“Under a million people love there”
Me as a Canadian: *oh boy...*
Probably like a 100 bears live in Canada
"Under a million people" come on keith!
Alina Jhones yup i was screaming at him
Was anyone else screaming the answers?

whos watching this because they're canadian, thats why im here.
amelia luymes 🤟🏻
🙋🏽♀️
Same
Yeah 😂
This was hard to watch. Americans amaze me sometimes 😂
Good lord, why are Canadians forced o learn about America and their history, while they know nothing about us?!?
nishana ganesh This is a very good question,but back in a day at school we learn a lot about the U.S,like the founding fathers,13 colonies,American civil war,the grapes of wrath etc...
nishana ganesh We're taught about Canada in school, but it's only about your general history and geography. Most 5th graders would be able to answer these questions without any issues. Many adults wouldn't since there is no reason to retain the information. Canada isn't exotic, so many don't take the time to learn about it just for the joy of knowing about it. You take the time when you're planning a trip to visit. Well...maybe not the national animal bit, but it's good to know where the capital is if you're traveling to that country.
nishana ganesh Because you don't do shit..like ever
nishana ganesh Because USA is a very important country in the world and Canada is pretty irrelevant? No one really cares about Canada. Think about it.
Cause no one plays attention to school. I knew these question, except for the population one. People probably just don't care I guess
I'm Canadian and this just shocks me because I (and almost everyone I know) knows so much about United States or at least the basic knowledge ... and it's not the same around...
know*
You think this represent all America?? Based on 5 people?
No there are people that have knowledge of Canada. I know Alberta is socially the Southern US and Nova Scotia is economically the South.
I also know a decent bit about your politics, but can't quite remember if Trudeau is Lib or NDP.
If I were an American, I'd be too busy trying to figure out the insanity of my own country to have any attention left over for other countries, too.
+Muggle American schools teach us useless math and nothing about other countries..like at all..
You feel like nobody lives in Canada??! Well now I feel insulted.😂
I do, for RUclips but whenever Buzzfeed makes a video its like Canadians everywhere. (I am canadian)
i yelled at the guy XD
Same
I agreed with him and I'm proud :)
1:11 Kieth not being able to recognize that she said Harper with an accent and so tried to pronounce it like her shows the intelligence of someone of these people taking this test lmao
Canadians answer Basic questions about 'Merica.
Merica's fat. And their education system is one of the lowest in the world.

This kind of disappoints me here in Canada we know so much about our neighboring country and then I watch this video...
Nikhil Lockman youve only seen for four out of every American ever
Nikhil Lockman Actually the average Canadian knows more in general about everything than the Americans, and that includes their own country. But even if they are uninformed, they are very nice.
They need to respect us back.
Ameican Citizen That will happen when Americans start respecting others
ikr
Ottawa’s a city?
Every Canadian: *face palms*
I almost threw my phone when he said under 1 million lol live in canada
I am also crying literally
Belen Herrera i screamed what (im from the good old maritimes)
Belen Herrera if Canada had less than 1 million people, than Puerto Rico would have more population.
I also screamed so loud
Mmhmm. Big countries tend to have a big population. Makes me wonder how they couldn't connect the dots. Maybe they don't even know their country's population.
1 thing that I'm proud about Canada is our education system Jesus Christ it's like Americans were taught by facts you would find on the internet
Ok that trick question wasn't fair for most of them
Mega Chopsticks calm down now. These were like 4 people.
yup and i love canada's education system because you need a 50 to pass lmfao =)
but we know your president lol. Tori Guillory
Thalia Ackroyd our president is pretty much a celebrity, like everyone knows him
He said they got all that French influence so that's why they has a Prime Minister except France has a president and a Prime Minister is from Britain
“Who is the president of Canada?”
*prime minister, maam.*
lol that’s the point, it was to test if they knew whether we have prime ministers or presidents
Any Canadians watching and Cringing at There answers?
Jayda Blake *their
Me.
ALL Canadians watching are cringing at their answers.
Any British people watching and cringing at your spelling?
Well not cringing because I've grown up seeing this same pattern of behaviour from nearly all Americans. I don't mind the ignorance but it's the condescending attitude that comes up that is irksome... and tiring
I'm cringing so hard and I'm not even Canadian
Same
Hahah me too
I'm Canadian and I'm CRINGING a little to much.
The thing is, us Canadians know the basics of America and the other side is worst....
noemie rara yeah because your whole country isn’t based on a meme
lmao ikr
They probably take the worst people.
That's because America's always in the spotlight and only Canadians care about Canada...
@@t3ddyb34r5 I don't think that a country in the G7 is a nowhere country.
that guy in the black shirt 1:00 made me happy as a canadian
As a Canadian. What?
but whenever i watch any other video from buzzfeed i see no canadians but now...
me too XD
Kate Yuen sorry that we just don't really learn about y'all
Joshua Skunk ikr
Nancy, to be fair, you guys don't learn about ANYWHERE else, not just Canada. Your education system is known throughout the world for being very Nationalistic, and rarely focusing on international history, geography, or politics... Except to briefly discuss why America is greater than everywhere else, and what wars you "won" (or won't admit to losing). It's actually very close to propaganda.
It actually kind of disgusts me how much the average American doesn't know about anything outside of the US. It's like they forget that there's other countries.
The beaver was the easiest :/
***** Canada is in North America not in the U.S.A.
Nah canada just has the least influence on the world, i have taken world history and learnt about Russia china japan spain the uk the middle east and germany but nothing about canada. So canada is alone
***** Maybe because we're your neighbors? I understand if other countries don't but seriously? The US? Not like I expected much from these people anyway...
metal greymon "Least influence in the world" is a pretty broad statement for someone who doesn't seem to know much.
IS CANADIAN A LANGUAGE?
IS INDIAN A LANGUAGE?
IS EUROPEAN AN A LANGUAGE??
WELL U KNOW WHAT?
IS AMERICAN A LANGUAGE?
Technically since we don’t speak the same form of English as Europeans, it’s American slang
European is like a term, it’s talking about German, French, etc.
I think theyll go like wait it isnt??
Indian IS A Language. Ojibway, Cree And Dakota. Or India Your Talking About.
TheDoodling Panda28 no, I mean like if you are from India...people would say “do u spread Indian” *^*

I could answer all those questions if you flipped them to be about America. Come on you guys, you're right beside us, learn a little about us.
O.K. who is the U.S. Prime minister dear?
Linnea Moras the difference is that is Canadians tend to know a lot of facts about america
Linnea Moras I knew these and I’m American....
Have you seen hetalia?? That’s why we don’t care to learn. Sadly most don’t even know who Canada, sad for him. Always in the shadow of his brother Alfred the American hero. *sigh*
Mason Parks we know you have a president I think you completely missed the point of the statement.
cringes in canadian
Alex, Just Alex yes
*cringes*
Because Canadian is a language. I hate when my American friends make all of Canada seem so stereotypical by saying EH in a sentence around me.
Cries in Canadian
Dude, you only saw 30 people when you went to Canada...
So you got there by moose. And you stayed on a mountain.
Ah the American education system

birb_slimey so true
So true
Americans do not care for us? Or about us? Because those are two separate things.
I am American and I know these.
Well, America doesn’t bother to teach geography, and if they do, they just skim over Canada
Word from a Canadian
Quebec is the capital of Quebec
Ottawa is the capital of Canada
Toronta is the capital of Ontario
Ottawa is in Ontario
LpsProduction™ Believe it or not, I'm an American who knew all of this, unlike the people at Buzzfeed. (Canadian is a language, seriously? Mexican isn't a language after all.)
Quebec "city" is the capital of Quebec. Learn your fucking capitals.
😁
+Nicholas Lee (Lightjay)
lol owned.
+LpsProduction™ *** Toronto
As a Canadian I knew most of the answers and found this video very funny.
“Canadian is that a language?” Is American a launguage? Is Asian a language?
Paulette Pono is mayonnaise an instrument?
Some people really do think that asian is a language though 🙃
+Kate Yuen (Kale)
In Tagalog alone, there are around 1500 different dialects
Paulette Pono exactly American isn’t a language. English is a language though :D Canada and England are the best.
Europeans know more about canadians than the us
I'm Nigerian and I know more than americans
+imaprouduclabruin guessing you're American since you think you're better than someone just because of where they come from
Actually, I'd fare to say that Americans are more globally aware than us British.
imaprouduclabruin You are an idiot.
+Just Deer Things According to this video and what I've heard other Americans say... I'd say I'm more globally aware, thanks...
I'd be down with poutine being our president
Megan I'm American, and I'd rather have poutine as president than George W. Bush or Barack Obama.
SodaBoy628 cause poutine is life (Y)
I just died.
There is no president called Poutine lol... it's Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia.
Erick Merlos No there is not. But there is Poutine which is a dish of French fries and fresh cheese curds, covered with brown gravy or sauce. So... ;)
“is canadian a language?” lmao you would be mistaken there ma’am.
OH COME ON AMERICA WE ARE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU
IsMayonnaiseAnInstrument? Blah haha
IsMayonnaiseAnInstrument? Blah they don't know our president yet we know theirs

Stultus Films we have a president
JinTheKid • Canada has a Prime Minister and house of parliament. Where as the USA has a president and congress.
"Is Canadian a language?"
Come on...
I don't think anyone that stupid to actually say that. They probably told her to say it.
Face fucking palm when I heard that.
They made her say that
probably sarcasm
Technically speaking there is a "Canadian" language, although what I'm referring to is just our branch of French being "Canadian French".
I'm Canadian and I got slightly triggered. Slightly.
Marshmallow Wolf me lmao
Marshmallow Wolf 100tg like XD

*Here’s ways to anger Americans*
Call the USA “South Canada”
Ask about their “prime minister”
Call “states” as “provinces”
Ask them if they speak “American”
Talk about weather in Celsius°
Offer maple syrup

Heh, Canada is North USA. 😂
And free health care
I'm freaking moroccan and I know most of these things omg....
+jennate laamyem I know far more about Morocco than Canada. I'm American
Dane Potmo oh and what do you know about it? I'm curious
jennate laamyem I might have exaggerated when I said I knew more about Morocco. I know Morocco has about 35 million people. I know the capital is Rabat, and that famous Casablanca is the biggest city. I know it's some form of a Monarchal state, maybe constitutional because it doesn't seem to have the issues that other Monarchal North African countries had/have. It was ruled by King Hassan, but he died when I was in High School, and one of his sons or nephews is now Monarchal head (but I can't remember his name. Fayood maybe?). I know the people are mostly Berbers, with an Arab (maybe some Bedouin?) mix on account of Arab invasions in the past. I think most of Morocco was part of ancient Numidia, or maybe it was mostly Algeria with some Moroccan Berber overlapping. I know Morocco was part of the areas the Moors took possession of; a stepping stone into Spain/Europe. I don't think the Ottomans got that far west in North Africa, so I don't think they influenced Morocco much. I know Morocco fell under some Spanish and French imperialism in recent centuries, taking on some broader Mediterranean/Francophile ideals/culture, but that Morocco remained mostly independent from full European rule, unlike much of Africa. I know the famous Atlas mountains are there. I know Morocco was the first nation on earth to recognize US Independence in 1777. I know in antiquity the Phoenicians (and their offshoot, the Carthaginians) had city/states in Morocco. I know Rome also had a client state in Morocco (one of the Roman emperors was a Moroccan Berber, famous intellectual/early Christian Saint Augustine of Hippo was Berber Moroccan I'm pretty sure. I know an intellectual and leader of antiquity during Roman period was Juba II, a Berber, from Numidia...but maybe that was more centralized in Algeria and not connected to Morocco. I know about the Canary Islands, and their isolated peoples recounted in historical records, reached by Phoenician sailors, and mostly left alone until the 15th century. I think they are an old Berber peoples disconnected from Morocco proper for centuries, and now a colonial possession of Spain obviously. I know modern Morocco is overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim, obviously. I know a lot of Moroccans speak Arabic, French and the main Berber language. I know Morocco claims, and basically controls, Western Sahara. Morocco, culturally, is kind of the connection between North Africa and Mediterranean Europe in the same way Turkey is the connection between the Near East and Europe. Morocco is a hybrid kind of culture...architecture, art, writing, culture like an amalgamation of Berber, Arab, Roman, Moor, Spanish, French styles and influences. Soccer is the most popular sport I suspect. I remember the legendary distance runner El-Garruje (can't remotely spell his name, sounds like Guh-rooge) was Moroccan. That's all I know about Morocco, even though bits of what I mentioned might be more Algerian or Tunisian maybe.
+Dane Potmo yeah you did mix algeria/tunisia with morocco in some parts but overall it's pretty good for an American to know all of these things about Morocco. BTW, our king is named Mohammed he is the former king hassan's son and most of us are actually arabs, berbers are a minority actually :)
jennate laamyem I thought Mohammed at first, but it seemed too common of a name. I've read a lot of books about the Roman Empire, and am recalling their interactions in North Africa...fighting the Carthaginians in the Punic Wars, empire stretch into Morocco, Numidia/Mauretania Berber kingdoms etc. I know Morocco kind of secondary to that. Numidia, and the ancient Berber kingdoms sort of spread in northwest Africa...it's hard to place where some of those ancient areas bled into. I think they were mostly concentrated in what is modern day Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, but felt they also stretched a little into what would be the present day boundaries of Morocco. I'm confident the Ottomans never did much in Morocco though, they kind of stopped in Eastern Algeria I think. I know Moroccans have large Arab heritages, but I thought most Moroccans were Berber mixed. I thought Berber identity was a bigger facet of Moroccan identity, but you would know better than me. I just looked up and saw that King Hassan died in 1999. I thought he died in like 2006. So, I guess Hassan died when I was in Middle School, not High School. Maybe I am thinking of King Fahd in Saudi Arabia dying in 05/06
“Is Canadian a language?” Me a fellow Canadian starts laughing then starts chocking on my laugh
