I was living in NZ in july 2011 when they got snow on the south island. For me, as a canadian, i thought it was fun to have snow in July. I went out during the snowfall with a friend around campus and we found a group of people from some of the pacific islands trying to make a snowman. They had no idea how to do it. So we went over asking if we should help. I told them i was from canada. They had never seen snow before so they were happy to have a "snow expert" to teach them how to build a snowman😂
@@juliansmith4295 There's this new thing called a map of Canada, and if you compared where I live to where the nearest "sugar bush" is, you'd see that it's a hell of a long trip that frankly isn't worth it.
I apologize to my dog when I leave for work. I'm in the interior of BC and today's projected high is 29 but right now it's only 27. I work as a cook and today it will be between 40-45 in the kitchen. I'm glad I was off yesterday as it was 36 here. Personally, if it was 25 above all summer, I would be happy. Not many people know this, but our Ryan's were genetically engineered to compliment each other. One's weaknesses are the others strengths. We are actually working on a whole series and have three more on ice. It's not good to flood the market too quickly. Still to this day, the RCMP all have beaver hats as part of their winter uniform.
Hi Darren ~ what part of the interior are you from? I grew up in BC and return as often as I can! I think you deserve AC in your kitchen!!! My mother was a Chef for most of her life…I remember visiting her at work…it was NUTS…absolutely INSANE without AC! I remember the early days when she was my personal instructor as a Pastry Chef…we roasted in the summer, until we got a system to control heat/cold and humidity. Fortunately, we had my father, an Electrical Engineer install the system. It made working super early mornings a delight! Cheers🇨🇦☺🇨🇦
"Excuse me" is something that newcomers to Canada should be taught (not necessarily tourists, but those who are staying). I actually had to bluntly tell a group of gossipy women to move out of my way because they were blocking the aisle of a grocery store - preventing people from finding things on the shelves. If they want to gossip in the middle of Walmart, go to the restaurant.
Yes, people are so thoughtless about stopping to chat to friends in the middle of the sidewalk, whatever.@@Shan_Dalamani I have seen people who will draw others aside in those same circumstances.
It has to be freshly boiled/hot maple syrup I think. You would think that would be counter intoative, but I believe the quick drastic change in temperature is what causes the taffy to form. Although Summer is great in Canada (at least here in southern Ontario - rarely too hot),the sometimes unbearable temperatures you get in Australia seems unlivable. With the cold it's easy to get warmer...just add an extra layer or 3, with a bit of planning! But when it's sweltering out,what, strip naked wherever you are?! There can't always be A/C nearby?
Yes we do. Or at least I have been guilty of doing it. You bump into anything and you just say sorry right away. Doesn't matter if it mineral, vegetable or animal. I woke up the neighbours cat yesterday who was napping on our deck and the first thing I did was to say sorry. How Canadian of me.
@@terryomalley1974 Well it is not so much that you are sorry for bumping into the furniture but more that you are sorry the furniture couldn't see you coming and move out of the way.
@@terryomalley1974 Well, you don't know it is furniture until you look. You assume is a person and apologize right away, then you look and feel silly. Of course, if you are already looking at it, know is furniture and still manage to hit it, you skip the apology and go directly to the embarrassment part as it is good and proper :p
Maple taffy isn't straight syrup poured on untouched snow, first the syrup is condensed by boiling it down thicker and it has to be poured hot to solidify on tapped-down snow. Et c'est délicieux.
Oui, c'est vrai. I know what you mean but your explanation may confuse others. It's the raw sap from the tree that is boiled down to make the syrup, then the boiling process stops. The sap is 98% water, 2% sugar. Boiling off most of the water gives you Maple Syrup, 33% water, 67% sugar.
They missed a few interesting name: St Louis-da Ha! Ha! - Quebec Elbow - Saskatchewan Balzac - Alberta Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump - Alberta (not a town but a place)
The magnet on the opener is to put it on the fridge so you dont lose it for the next time you need to open a bag of milk. We havent used "bottles" in decades.. its either cartons, plastic jugs, or bags.
In grade 6 we took a trip at school to a sugar shack (Ontario term for farm that produces syrup). The smell, fresh maple syrup from the boiler to snow such a treat but sooooooo good.
It is, but we Canadians effuse it so regularly, that in the particular instance of committing an accidental crime, uttering "sorry", does not admit fault, or implied guilt.
Here in Ontario there's a Small place which is called Punky doodle's corner. It's a triangle of three roads, with 2 houses and a small barn for horses.
We do make our own we boil maple syrup and pour it on the snow or ice and go at it with our popsicle sticks. I remember one video you did talking about teachers doing it basically it marks spring. We all do it and it is usually free at a sugar shack :)
I formally invite you to visit Winnipeg in January. As a precedent, I did know an Australian living here who rode his bike all winter, -33c and all....he said that the cold here wasn't as bad as the hot in Australia...I thought he was nuts, of course.
I was at the beach today with my cooler of the most refreshing drink I’ve found. “Sap Sucker”, it’s carbonated maple water with organic flavours (lemon, grapefruit etc) and no sugar added. The maple water is the water that is tapped from a maple tree before it is boiled down for syrup. Natural water filtered through a maple tree…you can’t get better than that!
There used to be a tv show called This is the Law. Two actors, one playing a cop, the other playing the law breaker, would act out a scenario without words. A panel would then have to guess what weird law was being broken. A lot of the laws were very old but still on the books.
Tash, that small thing he is holding in his fingers is a miniature razor (not a magnet) to slice open the top corner of the milk bag...sometimes the other corner is opened slightly so there will not be a suction vacuum developing when one pours the milk out glass.😊
Too, the beaver is always at work building dams and lodges, chopping down trees etc. Just so you know, a branch of the Canadian Armed Forces called the Royal Canadian Engineers has as a logo on their hat badge a beaver. And if I'm not mistaken, the Latin logo on that hat badge translates to "Everywhere". Another motto could be "ever industrious" as the humble beaver is always working, always building. The beaver is a great animal to have as our national critter. Cheers!
"Do you apologize to a chesterfield" Of course we do, if you hit something because you weren't paying attention, you apologize before even looking at it. Is just the right thing to do; if it was a someone, it shows you are truly sorry, if is not, you feel slightly embarrassed. Which doesn't matter in the slightest, since everyone has done that at one time or another.
I live in Alberta, and we don't have milk in bags here, and I miss it every day. Milk in bags is superior in every way over jugs. Less plastic, easier to reuse, easier to recycle, easier to pour, easier to lift, and a bag of milk isn't going to roll out of the back seat and smash open on the driveway the way I've had two jugs of milk do (so far) since I moved here from Ontario in 2015. Oh, and the snip thing has a magnet to store it on the fridge, and a clip-thing on the back to hang it on the bag holder.
If you ever gt to Canada and want to skate you might try learning to roller blade. It's not slippery as ice is but the process is similar. You can hold onto a chairback for safety while you learn either. Ice is as hard as asphalt or concrete.
Well Aussie Tash, your RUclips channel is the first one I've ever joined for a monthly fee❤️. As always, lots of love from the Average Canadian Guys household 😊
Thank you so much! Mate, I seen that, I thank you so much and love the support. Please at anytime if you need to stop, then do so. Enjoy all the members videos, my fav is the Linus Tech Tips Video. My gosh, you just missed the members video I posted yesterday.
@@aussietashreacts I will be with ya until you move to Ontario Canada 🙂 and bring your family to come see me. Then, I still be with ya. You're my absolute favorite RUclipsr😊. Good on ya mate👍
Ah, these days you need special snow for the maple syrup on snow thing. If you use even freshly fallen snow, it's filled with particles of random crap that you don't want getting into your syrup.
It is true we will apologize to anyone or anything. It's more of a reaction than anything. One time when I was in high school (which was a million years ago) I bumped into a tv stand in a classroom, I apologized to it and said "Sorry ma'am" mind you I was drunk at the time and got suspended for it but I remember doing it. The snippet's magnet is to put on the fridge, milk jugs are mostly made out of plastic and magnets aren't attracted to plastic. If you want to attach them to a jug they have a little clip on the side of them. When the Toonie was first introduced people would freeze them because they are bi-metallic and try to strike out the core of the coin with a ball peen hammer. They would put it into a vice and strike it. I never saw anyone do it but it made the news. Lacrosse was our only national sport at one time, It wasn't until 1994 that the great sport of Hockey was included in our national sports Our bank notes are different colours but all the same size.
Ok so for you people... how to make maple syrup taffy on snow... Pack clean, fresh snow into a large bowl or baking dish. Smooth the top and place in the freezer. If you have no access to snow... lol. You could use something like water on a cooky baking plate in the freezer or a large block of ice. you need a cold surface to pour the hot liquid on. Pour maple syrup into a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon over medium-low heat until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm ball. A candy thermometer inserted into the syrup should read between 235 and 245 degrees F (112 to 118 degrees C). Remove snow (or ice) from the freezer and set on the counter. Pour about 2 tablespoons syrup per piece over snow in thin lines about 5 inches long. Let syrup strips cool and firm up for 3 to 5 seconds. Pull candy strips out of snow, then wind into a lollipop around the end of a wooden pop stick. Eat while still a little warm.
The Sorry is a knee jerk reaction. You wouldn't intently say sorry to a couch (chesterfield is older term). I don't use the milk bag cutter, had them as a kid in the 80s but now I just use scissors. lol Great vids as always!
About bad odour law, I believe but don’t hold me to it, that it was enacted when some people had to work in a enclosed/indoors with a coworker who overused a perfume. One of the coworkers were allergic to many perfumes and having to spend all day/every day in close quarters with that person was affecting their health. This happens more often than you’d believe, so this became a law. It’s not often enforced because if someone complains it is pretty embarrassing for the accused, so…
@7:00; Aussie Tash refers to her Captain Dildo shirt, whilst I'm wearing my "There's a little Dildo in everyone" T-shirt, whilst an Aussie ribs Canadians over silly or unconventional place names. I like this vibe.
"Sorry" is kind of the "oops" of Canada. We might be Sorry, but it might be just a verbal "tic" when something happens. Stub your toe in the UK you say oops, in the US but in Canada "Sorry" So yes we "apologize" to inanimate objects. "Schitt's Creek" is a TV show, a sitcom to be exact. there are more things than mentioned here but... it was ok so I'm not complaining.
Just reminder that loonie and toonie are only use by English speaking Canadian :) In French we simply say "un dollar" or "une piasse" (deux dollars, deux piasses)
Well, at least I do apologize to absolutely everything😂 My car when I hit a pothole, a chair, if I walk into it, a spoon, if I drop it, and, of course, people…
Regarding the beaver, the term beaver is also a slang term that is used (throughout North America) to describe a certain specific part of a woman's anatomy... I'm not intending to be funny or crude, and I am sorry if anyone is offended but I genuinely am curious to know if that term is used at all in Australia, in the same manner.
10:30. A Canadian company helped develop the DuraNote polymer substrate with US Mobile Corp in the 1980s I think it was. But Australia developed the actual banknote polymer. I think Aus used them from late 1990s, NZ followed, then a handful of other countries, and Canada about 15 years after Aus.
Morning Tash I loved watching this video with you always fun laughs. So true confessions of Tash 😜 love you girl 🤗 Have a super weekend, it’s a long one for some of us!🫶
🙂 I was trying to figure out, why is it a long weekend???? Then realised it is the Civic Holiday.... which Nova Scotia doesn't have.😐 Sigh.... guess I'll be working.😊 (with deodorant) 😂 Cheers!
There use to be a TV show on Canadian TV in the early to mid 70's called This is the Law and they would show a video and the contestants had to figure what local law or statute was being broken.
I remember that! They were really obscure laws that were still on the books, like, it is illegal to park your dogsled within 50 meters of a butcher shop (for obvious reasone), or something weird like that. Funny show.
@@ronthered138 That is right. They did one close to were I live and in the video the person had an argument with their spouse and throw their wedding ring into the harbour and were arrested. Of course it was against the law to throw rocks into St. John's Harbour.
" Milk bags can be found in many other countries, such as South Africa, Argentina, Uruguay, Hungary and China. In Israel, there’s a Kankomat: soft, plastic milk bags with a knife built into a plastic container. So when it comes to milk, Canadians may march to the beat of their own drum, but there are many other nations playing alongside in the band. "
I used to compare weather with a friend in Brisbane. Her winter temperatures were identical to my summer ones! And, yes; we do hunt beaver, mostly for their fur, which while they might have made Canada, trappers don't earn enough for them now to make it worthwhile. There are ZILLONS of them now; too many in fact. Some people do eat them, although their meat is very oily. High octane fuel for sled dogs though, although it tends to go right through them!
We were at Timmy’s today & a box of 10 Timbits is $1.99 a chocolate glaze donut is $1.49. Our dog loves going to Timmy’s he gets a plain Timbit every time we go. Tim Hortons use to give dogs a free timbit but they haven’t done that for a few years now.
I might be wrong, but I don't think the beaver was ever in danger of extinction. I know the trappers had to go farther inland and deal with native tribes from other areas to obtain furs as the land near Hudson Bay ran low, but beavers were all over the north and there was always a large supply. They just had to go farther to get them.
A "loonie" is the common nick-name for the 1-dollar coin whereas the bird on the dollar where the nick-name comes from is the Common Loon. Alberta has 4Litre milk jugs, by the way. There is a 25cent deposit you get back when you return it.
About bagged milk, if you really want to mess with someone once the bag is in the container cut the opposite end handle side.Once the bag is in you can't take it out.
Tim Hortons Donut Menu ; 6 Assorted Donuts, $7.79 ; 12 Assorted Donuts, $13.99 ; 10 Assorted Timbits, $2.99 ; 20 Assorted Timbits, $4.99. And Tim bits are not from the holes of donuts. Tim bits are larger then the holes plus not all donuts have holes.
Lacrosse is actually hockey's ancestor. It was played by the native americans and it became hockey over time. So if we are being pedantic, they are 2 versions of the same sport
Every country has strange place names. You Aussies have a town called Wagga Wagga for example. Tash, you got the national sport facts better than the guy who hosts a RUclips channel on Canadiana. Our bills don't vary in size according to the value. A $5 bill and a $50 bill are the same size.
Sorry is more an admission of recognition of an event. I once was out Pokemoning and bumped into something, only realizing that after 4 apologies, I bumped a light pole.😅 Eh! Does not need to be at the end of a sentence. On thing they missed, every Canadian ask themselves at some point, why does -10 in November feel colder then -10 in February? I did not find d the answer until University. Acclimatized is the answer, wild eh!😊
Beavers are smart, work hard every day, engineering their environment, creating habitat for themselves and other animals by damming waterways, building their own houses and when they have to fight are vicious . Eagles are scavengers.
I don't actually buy bag milk as I don't drink milk. We also have cartons in Ontario and some dairy's are bringing back milk bottles as they are reusable and can be recycled.
The milk snippet is good to open the mail as well, lol. Enjoying the Laughs! Can make toffee pops in the yard (make sure the snow is fresh!) ... check your air conditioner soon so it lasts!! :)
I really enjoyed your videos and comments plus learning more about the world around me. Yes we do, and being part native and believe nature sprits are still part of things that is made from it and continues live through it. Also some native believe in trying to keep positive and nice energy in the home so being nice and kind is very important. You can do a video on the beaver for it is an important animal for wildlife.
Well, here's my two cents on the Ryan question. While I love Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds is the better actor. I love someone who can make me laugh until I hurt. My first introduction to Ryan Reynolds was in Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place. Great little show.
Hi Tash ~ THANK YOU for this video! Being at the hospital zaps much JOY and energy from me, as I go through treatment…so…I absolutely ENJOY your videos and look forward to every one! I think you would definitely fit in our multicultural society, as you know so much about us already! I think you would do great living here…especially somewhere like Victoria or Nanaimo, British Columbia (Vancouver Island)…it doesn’t get cold there, and it’s far more affordable than Vancouver. I miss it greatly, now that I live in Edmonton. I go back to the West Coast and Newfoundland as often as I can! I think you and your family would handle the winters on Vancouver Island extremely well! It’s wonderful to hear that a Commonwealth buddy like yourself has taken so much interest in Canada. That being said, there is a large population of KIWIS - they out number the Australians here - but - I have neighbours from both Australia and New Zealand. We get along so well…it’s absolutely fantastic to have our Commonwealth brothers and sisters share our homeland! It’s amazing how much we are alike…including our money and mannerisms. Have an awesome day my friend!😊 Cheers🇨🇦☺🇦🇺 P.S. I’m cheering for the MATILDAS…I hope they crush the competition and get the CUP!🤗
This is true. Victoria, Vancouver and and Whistler, one will come across Aussies and Kiwis frequently. And I swear all of Tofino is inhabited by Commonwealthers. I moved to Victoria a decade ago; I have difficulty envisioning living anywhere else. I hope you can visit as often as possible, if not return to the Island.
@@jasonarthurs3885 That is so kind of you! It is hard to live anywhere else, when you have a little paradise on The Island! As for Commonwealthers…they have populated much of western Canada, but the Island is definitely the highest concentration. My heart is definitely with you! I hope to return soon, but will continue to dream until then! It was wonderful to receive your message. I hope the drought hasn’t dampened your spirits this summer?!?! I keep hoping it will RAIN and replenish the much needed water! The Eastern part of our beautiful country is getting bombarded with too much rain, and I saw Ottawa had another tornado touch down today. I’m grateful no one was hurt…as we can replace “things”, but not the people we care for and love!! Keep enjoying the “Island Life”- it’s wonderful to hear from others who truly find the JOY in life, as you certainly do! Cheers from a fellow Islander🇨🇦☺🇨🇦 P.S. Where did you live prior to moving to Van. Island?
@@jasonarthurs3885 Oh WOW ~ I definitely understand why the Island is the lifestyle and place you want to be! Victoria is also smaller than Toronto, and has better weather than most places in our country. Have an awesome weekend!🇨🇦☺🇨🇦

If you think about it, the common usage of "sorry" is due to it often being used as a substitute for "excuse me".
used as a substitute for "excuse me" or "pardon me", which are more often used after the escape of bodily gasses.
"Excuse me" is something that newcomers to Canada should be taught (not necessarily tourists, but those who are staying).
I actually had to bluntly tell a group of gossipy women to move out of my way because they were blocking the aisle of a grocery store - preventing people from finding things on the shelves. If they want to gossip in the middle of Walmart, go to the restaurant.

Sorry in Canada is not a substitute for excuse me. They mean different things.
Just a tip. If you are rolling your frozen maple syrup in the snow stay away from the yellow snow.
Frank Zappa already told us that THIRTY PLUS YEARS AGO.
Stay away from the salty snow. Why? It's a bizarre phenomenon. Nobody knows how it came to be. A cool treat for us lucky enough to find it 😉

Bagged milk used to be in BC as well in the 70’s, but it didn’t last long before we went back to cartons
I liked the bagged milk and the bags were great for repurposing for other things. I wish they’d bring it back.
Hi Tash , recent news ! They just opened a floating Tim Hortons , its on a house boat on one of the local lakes !
I cannot count how many mannequins I've apologized to.
As long as you didn't ask them out for lunch as well.

However, some of them come with the clip that fits into a groove in the milk jug and some of the clips come with a magnet so they can go in the fridge
Glass or cardboard are also used for milk jugs. But still not magnetic
Yes, we do indeed regularly apologize to inanimate objects.
I live in Alberta, and we don't have milk in bags here, and I miss it every day. Milk in bags is superior in every way over jugs.

Alberta ditched bagged milk decades ago, due to plastic waste. We have milk available in every possible metric measurement.
Milk bags cutter has a magnet yes, but it goes on the fridge, jug is plastic.
The magnet on the snippet is to put it on the fridge. We have bagged milk because we can ship more in each load and they use less plastic.

@@aussietashreacts I will be with ya until you move to Ontario Canada 🙂 and bring your family to come see me. Then, I still be with ya. You're my absolute favorite RUclipsr😊. Good on ya mate👍
@@averagecanadianguy9427 I also support Tash and family moving to (probably) southern Ontario.
Ah, these days you need special snow for the maple syrup on snow thing. If you use even freshly fallen snow, it's filled with particles of random crap that you don't want getting into your syrup.
I always brush my teeth before I make a phone call. You are not alone, Tash!
It is true we will apologize to anyone or anything. It's more of a reaction than anything. One time when I was in high school (which was a million years ago) I bumped into a tv stand in a classroom, I apologized to it and said "Sorry ma'am" mind you I was drunk at the time and got suspended for it but I remember doing it.
The snippet's magnet is to put on the fridge, milk jugs are mostly made out of plastic and magnets aren't attracted to plastic. If you want to attach them to a jug they have a little clip on the side of them.
When the Toonie was first introduced people would freeze them because they are bi-metallic and try to strike out the core of the coin with a ball peen hammer. They would put it into a vice and strike it. I never saw anyone do it but it made the news.
Lacrosse was our only national sport at one time, It wasn't until 1994 that the great sport of Hockey was included in our national sports
Our bank notes are different colours but all the same size.
Ok so for you people... how to make maple syrup taffy on snow...
Pack clean, fresh snow into a large bowl or baking dish. Smooth the top and place in the freezer. If you have no access to snow... lol. You could use something like water on a cooky baking plate in the freezer or a large block of ice. you need a cold surface to pour the hot liquid on.
Pour maple syrup into a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon over medium-low heat until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm ball. A candy thermometer inserted into the syrup should read between 235 and 245 degrees F (112 to 118 degrees C).
Remove snow (or ice) from the freezer and set on the counter. Pour about 2 tablespoons syrup per piece over snow in thin lines about 5 inches long. Let syrup strips cool and firm up for 3 to 5 seconds. Pull candy strips out of snow, then wind into a lollipop around the end of a wooden pop stick. Eat while still a little warm.
The Sorry is a knee jerk reaction. You wouldn't intently say sorry to a couch (chesterfield is older term). I don't use the milk bag cutter, had them as a kid in the 80s but now I just use scissors. lol Great vids as always!
About bad odour law, I believe but don’t hold me to it, that it was enacted when some people had to work in a enclosed/indoors with a coworker who overused a perfume. One of the coworkers were allergic to many perfumes and having to spend all day/every day in close quarters with that person was affecting their health. This happens more often than you’d believe, so this became a law. It’s not often enforced because if someone complains it is pretty embarrassing for the accused, so…
Yes there are scent free regulations in a lot of workplaces here in Canada due to allergies as well.
I've never said sorry to an inanimate object and I haven't bought milk in a bag in decades.
Timbits are/were originally made from the hole cutout of regular donuts. Just as tasty.
@7:00; Aussie Tash refers to her Captain Dildo shirt, whilst I'm wearing my "There's a little Dildo in everyone" T-shirt, whilst an Aussie ribs Canadians over silly or unconventional place names.
I like this vibe.
"Sorry" is kind of the "oops" of Canada. We might be Sorry, but it might be just a verbal "tic" when something happens. Stub your toe in the UK you say oops, in the US but in Canada "Sorry" So yes we "apologize" to inanimate objects.
"Schitt's Creek" is a TV show, a sitcom to be exact.
there are more things than mentioned here but... it was ok so I'm not complaining.
Just reminder that loonie and toonie are only use by English speaking Canadian :) In French we simply say "un dollar" or "une piasse" (deux dollars, deux piasses)
Yesssss….we do apologize to couches. Lol.
Well, at least I do apologize to absolutely everything😂
My car when I hit a pothole, a chair, if I walk into it, a spoon, if I drop it, and, of course, people…
Regarding the beaver, the term beaver is also a slang term that is used (throughout North America) to describe a certain specific part of a woman's anatomy... I'm not intending to be funny or crude, and I am sorry if anyone is offended but I genuinely am curious to know if that term is used at all in Australia, in the same manner.
You can get your first double double right at the airport, they generally have a Tim's in them.
west coast milk in plastic jugs at 1 2 3 and 4 %, but half the time u can find 1or2% in cartons.never seen milk in bagged form here yet
Yes Tash, we say sorry Eve to inanimate items😂
10:30. A Canadian company helped develop the DuraNote polymer substrate with US Mobile Corp in the 1980s I think it was. But Australia developed the actual banknote polymer. I think Aus used them from late 1990s, NZ followed, then a handful of other countries, and Canada about 15 years after Aus.
There's also Omemee, Ontario, pronounced O me me. Coupla hours north of Toronto. Beautiful little town!
Tim Hortons is owned by a Brazilian company, but its head office is still in Toronto
Hockey is our national winter sport
I apologized to the bathroom door last night!
Tash, oh Tash, I've apologised to walls for bumping into them. Yes we say sorry a LOT!!!
Morning Tash I loved watching this video with you always fun laughs. So true confessions of Tash 😜 love you girl 🤗 Have a super weekend, it’s a long one for some of us!🫶
🙂 I was trying to figure out, why is it a long weekend????
Then realised it is the Civic Holiday.... which Nova Scotia doesn't have.😐
Sigh.... guess I'll be working.😊 (with deodorant) 😂 Cheers!
@@dougwilson4537 well shit that sucks and isn’t fair!
love you too, please join us on discord and chat with us all discord.gg/FZKbemKQ
Hockey is our national winter sport
Maple, walnut, ice cream my favourite
There use to be a TV show on Canadian TV in the early to mid 70's called This is the Law and they would show a video and the contestants had to figure what local law or statute was being broken.
I remember that! They were really obscure laws that were still on the books, like, it is illegal to park your dogsled within 50 meters of a butcher shop (for obvious reasone), or something weird like that. Funny show.
@@ronthered138 That is right. They did one close to were I live and in the video the person had an argument with their spouse and throw their wedding ring into the harbour and were arrested. Of course it was against the law to throw rocks into St. John's Harbour.
" Milk bags can be found in many other countries, such as South Africa, Argentina, Uruguay, Hungary and China. In Israel, there’s a Kankomat: soft, plastic milk bags with a knife built into a plastic container. So when it comes to milk, Canadians may march to the beat of their own drum, but there are many other nations playing alongside in the band. "
Yes! We apologize to inanimate objects! We find it hilarious that we do this!😂
In Thunder Bay we have Persian. oval shaped pastry that's fried and frosted. You should check it out.
Ryan Reynolds wins hands down
But Ryan Gosling as such a dry sense of humour and I love that.
I used to compare weather with a friend in Brisbane. Her winter temperatures were identical to my summer ones! And, yes; we do hunt beaver, mostly for their fur, which while they might have made Canada, trappers don't earn enough for them now to make it worthwhile. There are ZILLONS of them now; too many in fact. Some people do eat them, although their meat is very oily. High octane fuel for sled dogs though, although it tends to go right through them!
The snipits that have magnets go on the fridge door
In B.C. we used to have milk bags...but haven't for years now. I miss them. Plus I feel that "EH" is more east coast then west coast.
We all laugh and say sorry to each other..funny eh..
We were at Timmy’s today & a box of 10 Timbits is $1.99 a chocolate glaze donut is $1.49. Our dog loves going to Timmy’s he gets a plain Timbit every time we go. Tim Hortons use to give dogs a free timbit but they haven’t done that for a few years now.
No bagged milk in Manitoba or most of the west.
I might be wrong, but I don't think the beaver was ever in danger of extinction. I know the trappers had to go farther inland and deal with native tribes from other areas to obtain furs as the land near Hudson Bay ran low, but beavers were all over the north and there was always a large supply. They just had to go farther to get them.
A "loonie" is the common nick-name for the 1-dollar coin whereas the bird on the dollar where the nick-name comes from is the Common Loon. Alberta has 4Litre milk jugs, by the way. There is a 25cent deposit you get back when you return it.
About bagged milk, if you really want to mess with someone once the bag is in the container cut the opposite end handle side.Once the bag is in you can't take it out.
lol
Tim Hortons Donut Menu ; 6 Assorted Donuts, $7.79 ; 12 Assorted Donuts, $13.99 ; 10 Assorted Timbits, $2.99 ; 20 Assorted Timbits, $4.99. And Tim bits are not from the holes of donuts. Tim bits are larger then the holes plus not all donuts have holes.
Bagged milk is an Ontario thing. Thankfully my province (Alberta) realized that bagged milk is insane and we now have cartons, jugs, and bottles.
My favourite Canadian actor (Pamela Rabe) has actually only worked in Australia the last few years.
Lacrosse is actually hockey's ancestor. It was played by the native americans and it became hockey over time. So if we are being pedantic, they are 2 versions of the same sport
Every country has strange place names. You Aussies have a town called Wagga Wagga for example. Tash, you got the national sport facts better than the guy who hosts a RUclips channel on Canadiana. Our bills don't vary in size according to the value. A $5 bill and a $50 bill are the same size.
Sorry is more an admission of recognition of an event. I once was out Pokemoning and bumped into something, only realizing that after 4 apologies, I bumped a light pole.😅 Eh! Does not need to be at the end of a sentence. On thing they missed, every Canadian ask themselves at some point, why does -10 in November feel colder then -10 in February? I did not find d the answer until University. Acclimatized is the answer, wild eh!😊
Beavers are smart, work hard every day, engineering their environment, creating habitat for themselves and other animals by damming waterways, building their own houses and when they have to fight are vicious . Eagles are scavengers.
I don't actually buy bag milk as I don't drink milk. We also have cartons in Ontario and some dairy's are bringing back milk bottles as they are reusable and can be recycled.
The bags are recyclable.
They could be reused for other things as well, I suppose.
Hey Tash - When you get to Canada, I'll take you out snow-shooing
Canada Goose = Cobra Chicken
40 million now 😊❤
we are 27 million I think
The milk snippet is good to open the mail as well, lol. Enjoying the Laughs! Can make toffee pops in the yard (make sure the snow is fresh!) ... check your air conditioner soon so it lasts!! :)
I'll have a coffee, triple sugar, triple cream, and a six pack of crullers
I really enjoyed your videos and comments plus learning more about the world around me. Yes we do, and being part native and believe nature sprits are still part of things that is made from it and continues live through it. Also some native believe in trying to keep positive and nice energy in the home so being nice and kind is very important. You can do a video on the beaver for it is an important animal for wildlife.
Well, here's my two cents on the Ryan question. While I love Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds is the better actor. I love someone who can make me laugh until I hurt. My first introduction to Ryan Reynolds was in Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place. Great little show.
Superman is half canadian - his 2 creators were from Canada, and the US
Hey Tash. GO AUSTRALIA GO!!’
The maple syrup toffee pop is nearly a right of passage in Canada.
Yes it’s true, Canada is Looney Tooney LOL
st paul alberta has a ufo landing pad
It seems like it should be that the people who used "mate" in a negative way in Parliament should be the ones banned and not the word itself.
Hi Tash ~ THANK YOU for this video! Being at the hospital zaps much JOY and energy from me, as I go through treatment…so…I absolutely ENJOY your videos and look forward to every one!
I think you would definitely fit in our multicultural society, as you know so much about us already! I think you would do great living here…especially somewhere like Victoria or Nanaimo, British Columbia (Vancouver Island)…it doesn’t get cold there, and it’s far more affordable than Vancouver. I miss it greatly, now that I live in Edmonton. I go back to the West Coast and Newfoundland as often as I can! I think you and your family would handle the winters on Vancouver Island extremely well! It’s wonderful to hear that a Commonwealth buddy like yourself has taken so much interest in Canada. That being said, there is a large population of KIWIS - they out number the Australians here - but - I have neighbours from both Australia and New Zealand. We get along so well…it’s absolutely fantastic to have our Commonwealth brothers and sisters share our homeland! It’s amazing how much we are alike…including our money and mannerisms.
Have an awesome day my friend!😊
Cheers🇨🇦☺🇦🇺
P.S. I’m cheering for the MATILDAS…I hope they crush the competition and get the CUP!🤗
This is true. Victoria, Vancouver and and Whistler, one will come across Aussies and Kiwis frequently. And I swear all of Tofino is inhabited by Commonwealthers.
I moved to Victoria a decade ago; I have difficulty envisioning living anywhere else. I hope you can visit as often as possible, if not return to the Island.
@@jasonarthurs3885 That is so kind of you! It is hard to live anywhere else, when you have a little paradise on The Island!
As for Commonwealthers…they have populated much of western Canada, but the Island is definitely the highest concentration.
My heart is definitely with you! I hope to return soon, but will continue to dream until then!
It was wonderful to receive your message. I hope the drought hasn’t dampened your spirits this summer?!?! I keep hoping it will RAIN and replenish the much needed water! The Eastern part of our beautiful country is getting bombarded with too much rain, and I saw Ottawa had another tornado touch down today. I’m grateful no one was hurt…as we can replace “things”, but not the people we care for and love!!
Keep enjoying the “Island Life”- it’s wonderful to hear from others who truly find the JOY in life, as you certainly do!
Cheers from a fellow Islander🇨🇦☺🇨🇦
P.S. Where did you live prior to moving to Van. Island?
@shelleyhender8537 Ontario, Toronto and Ottawa directly before moving to the Island.
@@jasonarthurs3885 Oh WOW ~ I definitely understand why the Island is the lifestyle and place you want to be! Victoria is also smaller than Toronto, and has better weather than most places in our country.
Have an awesome weekend!🇨🇦☺🇨🇦
For clarity, the Canadian Apology Act prevents law enforcement from using a Canadian's involuntary utterance of "I'm sorry", as an admission of guilt.
Hi Tash always good to see you. Did you say your notes are different sizes? No ours are all the same size no matter the dollar amount.
They have brail text embossed onto them to help the blind.
Just the other day at work I ran into a rack of clothes and apologized… and it happens all the time
