Yes, 'urethral' is a word, it's the plumbing through which urine leaves the body. I think the word you were shooting for was ethereal, meaning 'delicate, otherworldly beauty.'
My baby cost about $65-70 cdn, because I was in hospital for 6 days for complications and there was an ice cream vending machine with those drumstick cones in the cafeteria and it was accessible 24/7.

I swear those snow plow drivers are hiding around the corner watching and waiting for you to set the shovel down and sigh a relieved "I'm finally done" then they blow past your house and laugh
Very rare to happen in Winnipeg. If the snow ploughs are out, they are followed by front end loaders that clear out most of the snow and ice that gets pushed into a driveway. Our plows also do not drive through that fast. The faster they move, the farther the lighter snow will get thrown.
I hated that in Southern Ontario, just finish shoveling your end of the driveway, then along comes the snowplows to fill it back in with snow, Ice and wet slush from the salt melted roads. And if you have a vehicle parked on side of road GL getting out.
Well every Canadian that didn't know to shovel to the right side of the driveway. If you leave the pile on the right (looking at the road) the plow won't push it back in front of your driveway.
@@SkyhighatristI have learned that lesson quickly a decade ago of where to shovel piles from driveway to where the snowplough will bypass this driveway.
@@glen3679 Not sure about most, depends where they live. I know I do. I can even run on it quite easily. Just can't change direction or try to stop too quickly. I feel like welcome to Canada was meant as a jab at the neo-Canadian in the video who hasn't developed the skill yet.
That scene is the reason why I'm under the firm belief that when immigrants come here we should give them skating lessons or at least how to walk on Ice lessons
that ice breaker was probably hindering him more than helping. It's not stabing in the ice, so no anchorage and it's shifting his mass away from his body, giving him less balance. You can easily walk, if not run, on ice with a little practice
@@ChelseaVollrath My neighbours didn't know you had to shovel snow and did not do so all winter. Eventually they had to climb up the accumulated snow then back down to get in and out of their apartment. The door was 3 feet above the ground and the snow was twice that high.
That guy slipping on the sidewalk, he's lucky his door even opened. Sometimes our car doors get frozen shut 😂. Should say welcome to Canada and someone thawing their car door with a hairdryer 😅😂😂
@@LordOfElysiumNo. Well, I suppose it can, depending on how you get it open again. IE, force it and things can break. But just the door getting frozen shut doesn't hurt the car. You try another door (the other side might not be AS frozen. I find it depends on how the weather went, and which direction it came down from can effect which doors are frozen. Unless it rained first. . .then probably everything is frozen) and heat the car up from the inside. Or stay home and wait for the car to thaw. Some might try the hairdryer trick. But essentially, once it thaws the car is fine again.
One of the reasons for schools staying open in the north is for safety. If kids show up, they can get in. Otherwise they walk home and their parents might be at work. Once I tried to keep my daughter home (she was 6) when it was well below -40C and she begged to go. Finally I sent her . She was so happy. When we moved south and people talked about "snow days" I had no idea what that meant!
Alpine lakes are incredibly clear... They're so cold that there is no bacterial action in the lake ... Even in summer you can canoe out to the middle of a deep lake, and see all they way to the bottom... But the water is very very cold...
It's very rare for schools anywhere in Canada to close due to the cold. There are "snow day" closures if there's a big dump of snow that makes driving difficult, especially for the buses. Also, that tornado thing is often called a "dust devil" and looks worse than it is. The spiralling winds pick up the dirt from the ground and suck it skyward.
In Manitoba, my kids may never have had a 'snow day' that I remember. They had 'cold days' because buses couldn't start and it wasn't safe to go out of doors for five minutes. That was when I found out that the water in my eyes could freeze - I reached up to remove my glasses because the lenses had fogged up only to realize that I had left my glasses inside. I quit shoveling and just went back in.
Yes, it's quite normal to have that much snow on your car in the morning. And we know that guy removing it is genuinely Canadian because he isn't wearing anything on his hands
Maybe Tyler doesn't travel much in the USA either. "Currently, 38 US cities operate trolleys, known also as trolley cars (trams, or tram cars in standard English) are: Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco*, San Jose, Los Angeles, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Tuscon, Denver, El Paso, Minneapolis, Kansas City".🤣
the second he didn't know... that's what popped into my head, was tempted to post that myself, lol.@@dawnwennberg9884 tyler: big oil bought up electric trolleys many decades ago to kill them, many cities had electric trolleys. a few places like Toronto managed to keep them and that is a new version. some places now also have LRTs. my hometown had electric trolleys till roughly the 50s-60s maybe, now has LRT light rail transit which runs along streets, and on old rail lines ( electric). they look like these ones, Toronto kept them red like their classic street cars, other cities have them other colours.
😮When I was young, the loose change in your pocket would have two different kings and the queen. Most Canadians have never known any other monarch than Queen Elizabeth.

😂Urethral: The tube through which urine leaves the body. It empties urine from the bladder. vs. Ethereal: extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. 😜
In Canada we have a national building code that ensures everything is built to the same base level with regional/local codes that account for the unique conditions the building will face in that specific area
For reference, -40 and -50 are "You will have frostbite with more than 5 minutes of exposure". We actually get -40C here. Balaklava, 2 coats, one with hood, double gloves. That was just my walk 2 blocks.
There's a secret to shoveling your driveway... Facing the road, clear out a truck size section to your left... Then do your driveway... When the plow goes by... The snow will mostly dump into your truck size cleared section... Leaving little to no snow being plowed onto your driveway...
Sort of true? Although it buys you one "free shovel", you ARE still removing more snow to do it in the first place. One thing for sure, better to shovel your snow across the driveway in the direction of the plow at least.
The difference between a Dust Devil and a tornado is how they're created and the power. Tornadoes start from the clouds and work their way down. Dust Devil's start from the ground and work their way up and are usually pretty harmless, even to the point where some people play in them.
'Some' plow drivers, if they see you, may lift their blade so as not to throw snow back onto your driveway...but it also really depends on the amount of snow they are having to move...and on how close other driveways are to yours (because if they are within a few feet of each other, then who do they lift for? And how many? Before it becomes as if they aren't plowing the streets.) Highway plows on the other hand just cut the snowbanks back no matter what, because their jobs affect the safety of more than a couple people on a city/town street.
That reminds of my a old joke that Jim Carry before he became a actor the joke was "wow your from Canada how cold was it there" Jim Carry "Minus 40" other person "in ferinheight or Celsius" Jim Carry "Doesn't matter"
How to handle icy sidewalks. 1. Buy some strap on ice cleats for your boots. 2. Buy some ice melt from any hardware store. Sprinkle liberally on your sidewalks. 3. Buy an ice scraper and scrape it up.
Agree with Nos. 1 and 3 but not 2! Re: CORROSION of sidewalk, POLLUTION INTO STORM DRAINS INTO STREAMS/RIVERS; dries out grass/HARD ON THE PADS OF DOGS/ LARGE SALT GRANUALS ALSO UNCOMFORTABLE TO WALK ON...can actually act like ball bearings/...and if partially melted and refreeze at night becomes VERY UNEVENLY SHARP causing people to lose their balance. P.S. one salt granule can melt 2 square inch circumference....try a little SPRINKLING of SAND using your mitten from a level shovel lowers the intensity of the aforementioned points of reason. Some people use [if sheer ice only]"pickle-salt" equals sand and salt mixed in a burlap bag.[to be also used SPRINKLED SPARINGLY]❤
Yes it is free quit your complaining you at least don’t have to go home with a debt to pay. Everyone contributes through our taxes via OHIP and be happy you even have this or go live somewhere else where you may have to mortgage your home for surgery etc.
The sidewalk covered in ice is everywhere in Canada except Vancouver. I don't have a car and live in Québec City where there are so many hills. I attempted to make a video at some point where I was trying to find a solution, either with crampons, "claques" etc. It's not uncommon to start sliding down a hill and not be able to stop... either on your feet or ass. Very dangerous to break legs or arms, especially for elderly people.
A peace of advice if you come to Canada in the winter never stick your tongue on a steal post. I did that when I was a kid in grade 4 and it hurts like hell and bleeds we’ll don’t let anyone trick you into that doing that . I learnt this lesson the hard way 😅
I was admitted into the Emergency department a couple of years ago. While answering questions at the admitting desk I was just looking around as one is want to do. I noticed a sign, not that big, maybe 5 inches by 5 inches, with pricing for Americans using the ER. I noted that for an American at a BC hospital having a baby cost $25,000.
The salt that's put on the roads when it snows, gets onto the cars and moose love salt. That's why it's not unusual to see a moose lick a car. In fact a lot of moose come onto the highways in the winter to lick the roads. This is definitely a hazard, especially at night when you can't see them that well.
We are lucky where I live. The grader goes past my driveway and pushes four feet of snow into my driveway, then he backs up and clears the snow from the entrance to my driveway.
Where I live, we use teams of plows to clear residential streets. First, graders push the snow off the roads and scrape the ice away. Then front end loaders clear snow from fire hydrants and bus stops, and get rid of the windrows at intersections. The front end loaders also clear windrows from peoples' driveways, which is well appreciated! On major streets, the snow is pushed into windrows and thrown by giant snow blowers into semi-trailer dump trucks, then taken to a snow dump. Behind the snow blower there's an almost endless line of dump trucks waiting their turn to be filled. It's all very well organized and coordinated.
@@DaveGIS123 They do a version of this in the Okanagan. Being down south, it's usually only a little snow. Prince George has to do it, the roads would become impassable really quickly otherwise. I live way the hell out in the bush so we are lucky to have a grader come by. Once in a blue moon we get a plough truck that drops a handful of stones here and there. Kind of useless.
Tyler "Do moose want to lick your car? Do people want moose to lick your car? is it, like, good luck? is it a sign winter's ending? Like when the beaver sees it's shadow?" LMFAO
Yes, we get tornadoes here although not so many as in the US. Ice is easier to walk on when one has grippers with rubber and metal points on the shoes(think studded snow tires). -50C is -58 F. -40 same, and there are 18 degrees F per 10C.
its the same in Winnipeg manitoba. No school closures for cold. even snow days rare here, we would need a hell of a blizard that lasted multiple days to stop the busses and the plows. Winnipegers now what im talking about!
Tyler, have you considered celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving in October with your friends and family (those who don't think you're crazy), and filming it to share here...food preparation, yours and other peoples' reaction to the experience, etc.? I think it would be an interesting cultural exercise.
The man sliding is holding an ice breaker or ice pick or ice chopper or ice scraper ... whatever term you want to use, but it is made to break off thick ice in your driveway, sidewalks, or even in some cases, ice fishing. Yes, that snowplow has to be waiting around the corner watching you shovel your tush off and when you're done, they do pass by creating a huge snowbank at the end of your driveway (and it's usually hard to shovel too as it has become hard packed). One reason why when we shovel, we make sure that the snow is also shoveled far left, so when the snowplow passes, it has less snow to push. But we're used to it in Northeastern Ontario.
I live in Ontario but had a heart attack in Calgary. The hospital staff were so amazing. I had triple bypass surgery and hospitalized for 6 weeks and it didn't cost us a nickel (pennies don't exist anymore) except for the hostel suite we had to rent but in the US, it would cost around a half million dollars
A trick most Canadians know is that when it snows you lift the windshield wipers up so when you get up in the morning they aren't frozen to the windshield.
I used to see dust devils all the time. My primary school was built in a way that would make these dust devils spawn. They were always tiny and a bunch of fun to watch. That big one in the video, that is the biggest I've ever seen... I wouldn't be close to that one.
Hey, New-Brunswick here! Our winter has been very mild overall this year (by our standards anyway! 😅). Last week though, at least in my parts, we had two big snowstorms only one day apart from each other. We got hit with the first one, had the next day mostly sunny, then the day after we got hit again by an even bigger one! Each of them around 40cm of snow. 😂😂😂 Apparently winter decided last minute that no, it was not in fact done with us, here's some more snow to shovel. Spring will just have to wait its turn. ❄🌨🌨❄😭 About the icy sidewalks, I remember a few years ago during winter we had freezing rain and very low temperatures for 3 or 4 days in a row. The roads were a nightmare, and the sidewalks/driveways/parking lots were so iced over, it was like the whole town was a giant ice rink. Just walking from your door to the car was a freakin extreme sport - and there was a good chance your car doors would be frozen shut! There was this thick layer of ice covering everything, cars and roofs and stairs etc... The tree branches were all broken from the weigh of the ice covering them. Same thing with the power lines, there were many power outages. I remember trying to walk to the grocery store - I lived very close to it back then - and giving up not even halfway through because I couldn't take two steps without slipping and nearly falling! I then thought of the parking lot of the store, a slightly inclined hill also covered in ice, and I just turned around and went back home! 🤣 Ah, the Canadian winters... They can be rough sometimes, but they do make interesting stories! And funny memes! 😉😁☃
If Parks Canada wants us to not allow a moose to lick my car, I think there should be an official procedure from Parks Canada posted on "how not to allow a moose to lick the vehicle!"
@@GingerM-xu9nf An 18 wheeler can do it. LOL. I was watching a bull moose on the other side of the river. I was standing in a little parking area with a great view of him. He saw me and decided to swim across and check me out. He came up to about 30 Ft. away and I guess he didn't like what he saw because he turned and left the area. I was a bit worried about his intentions.
I have winter boots that have a cleat in the sole of the boot that you just flip over so the pick part that sticks into the ice when you walk it helps you to navigate without sliding or falling. Also at -25 or 26 even once you dig your car out, you have to warm your keys so you can get the door open, then when you try to turn the car on it usually won't start because it's too cold, if you have a good battery and it does turn on you can't go anywhere because all the mechanics are frozen in the car all the metal parts the wheels, so you have to leave the car and even though the car says it's warm, the metal parts of the car are still frozen solid and they won't move, when they do begin to warm up enough that you can move, the creek and squeak and squawk, and once saved warmed up enough that they stop doing that between that time, you are praying that the bars that run under the car for the wheels etc are not going to break because they're so brittle from the cold Now you go back inside because you're soaking wet from shoveling the snow and everything and you get changed and you come back out in the snow plow came down the road and buried your car again. It's really fun .b😂 😂lol😂 And you usually get a boot 2 weeks of weather like at -25 - 26 and it's bitter because of the dampness . Their normal weather is snow piled high enough that if you're on the second floor of your house you cannot see the roof of the house across the street. 😅 Find eh?!
This has been one of the warmest, easiest winter of the last 40 years in Quebec at the very least… I had to shovel twice in the entire year because each time it snows, the next day it’s warm enough to melt..!
@@MK-fc2hn well for the next 2 weeks it’s 5-10celsius so it’s amazing weather for the end of feb/start of march but yeah, a late march/early april snowstorm isn’t out of the question 😭 but it still would be the easiest winter of my adult life (and I’m 39! 😝)
@@YoshMaster I'm 48 and I can recall massive snowfalls as late as the 3rd week of april here in Montreal. Nothing like getting 30 plus cm that late in the "winter".. but those were exceptional years.. I'm more worried about march and that months consistent ability to let us all down 😆 🤞
To answer your question @ 6:25 . It's an ice scraper or ice chopper . It's a very vital tool for ice removal especially when you encounter that amount of ice like shown in that clip.
Were about to be hit with artic cold this weekend most of Canada will be freezing...But i dont mind the cold its better than the muggy summers in Toronto.Spring and Fall are amazing here too❤
the Moose licking the car is because our road is salted/gravel during winter. if people allow them to licking it they wouldn't be afraid of vehicles and can cause problems.
Please do a video on The Yukon. It's absolutely beautiful with diverse weather and fantastic people. It's very remote, but the bigger cities and towns have everything. As you explore the Territory, the scenery is constantly changing. Midnight sun in the summer ☀️ and can reach +35C. Northern Lights in the winter, with little day light and can, but not always get as cold as -50C. I lived there for 17 years. My favourite place in Canada 🇨🇦.
Yes, please do a video about the Yukon, and the NWT and Nunavut as well, if only to remind the Alaskans that they are not the only people inhabiting North America's northern regions 🙂
The fact that Canada is huge is very evident in this video. I'm from Alberta. We are praying to the Snow Gods. Haha! Our fields are almost bare. No melting seasonal snowfall means no moisture, which can mean poor crops(unless it's a wet spring). That can lead to having to buy feed all next winter. One horse will consume one large round bail a month in winter. If you have even a small herd, it could cost thousands of dollars.
@@Sdoironpowers In the case of a dry spring, don't laugh if you see a viral video in the spring of a plumb, senior, wild-haired woman, dancing her boots off with her dogs singing back-up(huskies) as they try a rain dance!! haha!
I remember years ago farmers in the other provinces sending truck loads of hay bales to help feed the animals bc of lack of snow/rain. That's the Canada 🇨🇦 I'm PROUD to call Home 🎉😊
Here in southeast Ontario we’ve had very little snow… think it’s snowed a total of 5 times all winter so far. Ocean temps are still higher than normal so hurricane season will probably be bad
@@bienerbina4555 I remember those times as well. We local ones help each other out but that isn't often the case getting hay from down in southern AB if we need it up here. Many gouge for dollars.
That has happened to me so many times with the snow truck plowing you in just as you've been shoveling for hours and almost done here in Nova Scotia Canada
I've had 4 kids and one emergency surgery for and exploded Fallopian tube because of an ectopic pregnancy, total cost: 10-12$ each for parking. And maybe 10-20$ for a few midnight snacks from the vending machine.
"Canadian Healthcare - everything gets covered." LMAO. Sure, right, as long as you understand that the "everything" of publicly-funded Canadian health care is quite different from the "everything" you have access to in the United States. Apples and oranges.
Not everyone in the states has access to all available health care either. I will take my health care here in Canada... you are free to head for the states!😮😅😂
@@marieross6231 Either? Sorry you must have misunderstood my comment. Reread it. I didn't say that not everyone in Canada has access to all available health care - I'd love it if that were the case instead of our current third-world embarrassment.

@@bkk115 It's illegal in Canada to pay a doctor directly for one hour of their time. For those of us with rare conditions, the public health system has little to no ability to accommodate and, even if they could, many services are simply unavailable. You comfort yourself with your uncorrelated statistic on "life expectancy" - feel proud that you support a system that provides "some kind" of health care to (and use your best Trudeau voice now) "All Canadians" while those of us who need special care can't even purchase it and have to suffer due to your ignorance. What's important is that you signal the right virtue - disgusting.
The ‘space ship’ is called a streetcar … they just introduced this style of streetcar ‘recently’ for a large city … they are accessible for those in wheelchairs/those in use of walking devices because they can put out ramps from certain doors
Every kid in Canada at some point learns the perils of licking something metal in the winter and having their tongue stick to it. They've either done it themselves or have known someone else who has. Were you a licker? Or did you learn from others?
My little brother licked the car bc he was convinced it was plastic, and he was stuck a good 15-20 minutes while we panicked, then boiled some water. He came free eventually, but not a week later he got stuck to something else bc he thought it was wood. (He was like 5, so brilliance was not in the books just yet)
That public transport vehicle is a cable car. Yes, it runs on the electricity it gets from the wires above it through the "stick" and it runs on the tracks on the road.
I slipped on ice, and the next thing I knew, my neighbor was pulling me out from under my parked car! I seriously injured my tailbone, lower back, neck, and shoulder. That ice is very dangerous. You gotta walk like a penguin to safely get across.
Thanks for sharing this, Tyler. I am preparing to go out into the snow and ice to feed and water my Critters. This video made my morning and made the day feel so much warmer =D My unsolicited feedback from Central Alberta: 0:54 Yep. My sister and I watched the Ft St John snow plough not only wipe out the recently shovelled walkway, it also took out the picket fence that was buried beneath the snow. 2:59 In Canada we have a ritual where, once a year, we transfer all of our nastiness into our Canada geese.

The stick he is carrying is an ice chipper. 9:15 Even our tornadoes are polite lol!

They are short-lived and generally weak but can still hold winds of up to 100 mph. 11:30 In -50 means never inhale through your teeth or they will shatter. 14:24 This happened to my daughter a couple of weeks ago when she returned home from work at 11:30 PM. Thankfully, she had a lighter to use to thaw the doorknob and lock. The doors also should open inwards for often, especially after an exceptionally windy blizzard, there is a wall of snow blocking the doorway, which is why some households keep a snow shovel in the hall closet. Note that this photo was taken from the inside of the house. 16:09 The Queen has been on most of our currency for longer than I have been alive.

Schools stay open in the Yukon (and most prairie provinces where it gets stupid cold in winter) not because they never close, the school busses often stop running in -40 or below, but the schools stay open in case a student makes it to school, so they can get into the warmth rather than be stranded in the cold, as it can literally be life threateningly COLD!

Very rare to happen in Winnipeg. If the snow ploughs are out, they are followed by front end loaders that clear out most of the snow and ice that gets pushed into a driveway. Our plows also do not drive through that fast. The faster they move, the farther the lighter snow will get thrown.

Yep! That first one with the snowplow filling up your entryway just as you've finished clearing it has happened to EVERY CANADIAN with a shovel.
Well every Canadian that didn't know to shovel to the right side of the driveway. If you leave the pile on the right (looking at the road) the plow won't push it back in front of your driveway.

That ruins the car.. no?
@@LordOfElysiumNo. Well, I suppose it can, depending on how you get it open again. IE, force it and things can break. But just the door getting frozen shut doesn't hurt the car. You try another door (the other side might not be AS frozen. I find it depends on how the weather went, and which direction it came down from can effect which doors are frozen. Unless it rained first. . .then probably everything is frozen) and heat the car up from the inside. Or stay home and wait for the car to thaw. Some might try the hairdryer trick. But essentially, once it thaws the car is fine again.
I have used lock de-icer, that I keep in my purse not my car, to get the door open when it froze shut.
yeah i cant count the amount of times ive had to use my full strength to open a door just to get inside and kick open the others
One of the reasons for schools staying open in the north is for safety. If kids show up, they can get in. Otherwise they walk home and their parents might be at work. Once I tried to keep my daughter home (she was 6) when it was well below -40C and she begged to go. Finally I sent her . She was so happy. When we moved south and people talked about "snow days" I had no idea what that meant!
There is generally a staff member, often the principal, who has to go in anyway in case a student shows up. At least in my district.
Candian tornadoes be like ''Oh hey there buddy, i'm sorry, just passing through''.
and.. that's how you learn to remove snow AFTER the snowplow
Yes, there's a short window of time after the plow leaves, but before the windrow freezes solid.
But not too long after, or it sets like concrete.
Just need to put the snow that you shovel at the right, this way you are not shoveling 2 times the same snow lol
Wouldn't work in Calgary but could be weeks later for side roads. Usually they just wait for a chinook to melt it off. Main roads get cleared quicky.
Alpine lakes are incredibly clear... They're so cold that there is no bacterial action in the lake ... Even in summer you can canoe out to the middle of a deep lake, and see all they way to the bottom... But the water is very very cold...

It's very rare for schools anywhere in Canada to close due to the cold. There are "snow day" closures if there's a big dump of snow that makes driving difficult, especially for the buses. Also, that tornado thing is often called a "dust devil" and looks worse than it is. The spiralling winds pick up the dirt from the ground and suck it skyward.
the only times schools get snow days is when the school buses are snowed in at the garage.. ;)
@@astralnomadwhere I live, even when the buses are snowed in, schools are still opened. Parents just need to drive their kids to school 🤷♀️
@@astralnomad And even then, Somme schools remain open and children walk there, providing the wind isn't too killer.
In Manitoba, my kids may never have had a 'snow day' that I remember. They had 'cold days' because buses couldn't start and it wasn't safe to go out of doors for five minutes. That was when I found out that the water in my eyes could freeze - I reached up to remove my glasses because the lenses had fogged up only to realize that I had left my glasses inside. I quit shoveling and just went back in.
Is Vancouver the only one that has snow days in Canada? Cause we have always had snow day closures for decades here
Shoveling all the snow off the car is usually only the first step. There's often ice to scrape off too.
Followed by shaking the snow and scraper-powdered ice off your jacket, followed by a Timmy's.
Repeat 3 more times if it's been snowing all day 😅
I was thinking this too when he said at least it's not frozen.😂😂😂. Oh YES IT IS! LOL.
Yes, it's quite normal to have that much snow on your car in the morning. And we know that guy removing it is genuinely Canadian because he isn't wearing anything on his hands
Those are called Streetcars they move us through Toronto❤
Maybe Tyler doesn't travel much in the USA either. "Currently, 38 US cities operate trolleys, known also as trolley cars (trams, or tram cars in standard English) are: Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco*, San Jose, Los Angeles, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Tuscon, Denver, El Paso, Minneapolis, Kansas City".🤣

tyler: big oil bought up electric trolleys many decades ago to kill them, many cities had electric trolleys. a few places like Toronto managed to keep them and that is a new version.
some places now also have LRTs. my hometown had electric trolleys till roughly the 50s-60s maybe, now has LRT light rail transit which runs along streets, and on old rail lines ( electric). they look like these ones, Toronto kept them red like their classic street cars, other cities have them other colours.
@@TomHuston43I think he knew what they generally are.. like he said he's never lived in a big city so he's probably never seen one irl
Light rail transit.
The Space shuttle is a street car and it is electric. It is similar to a bus.

I'll say the same for the over 40 years I've been living here.

For reference, -40 and -50 are "You will have frostbite with more than 5 minutes of exposure". We actually get -40C here. Balaklava, 2 coats, one with hood, double gloves. That was just my walk 2 blocks.
There's a secret to shoveling your driveway... Facing the road, clear out a truck size section to your left... Then do your driveway... When the plow goes by... The snow will mostly dump into your truck size cleared section... Leaving little to no snow being plowed onto your driveway...
What a further genius suggestion 😮😊
Sort of true? Although it buys you one "free shovel", you ARE still removing more snow to do it in the first place. One thing for sure, better to shovel your snow across the driveway in the direction of the plow at least.
The difference between a Dust Devil and a tornado is how they're created and the power. Tornadoes start from the clouds and work their way down. Dust Devil's start from the ground and work their way up and are usually pretty harmless, even to the point where some people play in them.
Yes Tyler. It’s exactly like when a beaver sees its shadow 🤣
More frightening is when I see a beaver! 😱
'Some' plow drivers, if they see you, may lift their blade so as not to throw snow back onto your driveway...but it also really depends on the amount of snow they are having to move...and on how close other driveways are to yours (because if they are within a few feet of each other, then who do they lift for?
And how many?
Before it becomes as if they aren't plowing the streets.)
Highway plows on the other hand just cut the snowbanks back no matter what, because their jobs affect the safety of more than a couple people on a city/town street.
That special stick the guy is holding you are wondering about is called an ice scraper

How to handle icy sidewalks. 1. Buy some strap on ice cleats for your boots. 2. Buy some ice melt from any hardware store. Sprinkle liberally on your sidewalks.
3. Buy an ice scraper and scrape it up.
Agree with Nos. 1 and 3 but not 2! Re: CORROSION of sidewalk, POLLUTION INTO STORM DRAINS INTO STREAMS/RIVERS; dries out grass/HARD ON THE PADS OF DOGS/ LARGE SALT GRANUALS ALSO UNCOMFORTABLE TO WALK ON...can actually act like ball bearings/...and if partially melted and refreeze at night becomes VERY UNEVENLY SHARP causing people to lose their balance. P.S. one salt granule can melt 2 square inch circumference....try a little SPRINKLING of SAND using your mitten from a level shovel lowers the intensity of the aforementioned points of reason. Some people use [if sheer ice only]"pickle-salt" equals sand and salt mixed in a burlap bag.[to be also used SPRINKLED SPARINGLY]❤
Tyler…I’m a Canadian and I’ve had my thyroid, gallbladder, ovaries, and fallopian tubes all removed free of charge.
That's called harvesting
I'm sorry to tell you none of those surgeries where free you me and every other tax paying Canadian paid for you to have them done through our taxes
Its NOT free.
@@glen3679
That is what Canadians do; we help one another whenever and wherever we can. Even with their medical expenses.🙂
Yes it is free quit your complaining you at least don’t have to go home with a debt to pay. Everyone contributes through our taxes via OHIP and be happy you even have this or go live somewhere else where you may have to mortgage your home for surgery etc.
The sidewalk covered in ice is everywhere in Canada except Vancouver. I don't have a car and live in Québec City where there are so many hills. I attempted to make a video at some point where I was trying to find a solution, either with crampons, "claques" etc. It's not uncommon to start sliding down a hill and not be able to stop... either on your feet or ass. Very dangerous to break legs or arms, especially for elderly people.
A peace of advice if you come to Canada in the winter never stick your tongue on a steal post. I did that when I was a kid in grade 4 and it hurts like hell and bleeds we’ll don’t let anyone trick you into that doing that . I learnt this lesson the hard way 😅
In Montreal I have seen this one snowfall overnight so bad that my car was literally buried with about 2 ft on the roof of the car .
I was admitted into the Emergency department a couple of years ago. While answering questions at the admitting desk I was just looking around as one is want to do. I noticed a sign, not that big, maybe 5 inches by 5 inches, with pricing for Americans using the ER. I noted that for an American at a BC hospital having a baby cost $25,000.
The salt that's put on the roads when it snows, gets onto the cars and moose love salt. That's why it's not unusual to see a moose lick a car. In fact a lot of moose come onto the highways in the winter to lick the roads. This is definitely a hazard, especially at night when you can't see them that well.
In the Spring the Big Horn sheep stand on the roads licking salt.
We are lucky where I live. The grader goes past my driveway and pushes four feet of snow into my driveway, then he backs up and clears the snow from the entrance to my driveway.
Where I live, we use teams of plows to clear residential streets. First, graders push the snow off the roads and scrape the ice away. Then front end loaders clear snow from fire hydrants and bus stops, and get rid of the windrows at intersections. The front end loaders also clear windrows from peoples' driveways, which is well appreciated!
On major streets, the snow is pushed into windrows and thrown by giant snow blowers into semi-trailer dump trucks, then taken to a snow dump. Behind the snow blower there's an almost endless line of dump trucks waiting their turn to be filled. It's all very well organized and coordinated.
@@DaveGIS123 They do a version of this in the Okanagan. Being down south, it's usually only a little snow.
Prince George has to do it, the roads would become impassable really quickly otherwise.
I live way the hell out in the bush so we are lucky to have a grader come by. Once in a blue moon we get a plough truck that drops a handful of stones here and there. Kind of useless.
We are too. Our snow plow drivers here in North Battleford Sk are very nice too; IF you have moved your vehicle off of the road.
Tyler "Do moose want to lick your car? Do people want moose to lick your car? is it, like, good luck? is it a sign winter's ending? Like when the beaver sees it's shadow?" LMFAO
when he went for the beaver...🤣💦
The “welcome to 🇨🇦” he’s carrying an ice chipper, helps break the ice on the ground.
Our winters make us Canadians who we are. As much as Canada usually has terrible weather, we always seem to survive.
Yes, we get tornadoes here although not so many as in the US.
Ice is easier to walk on when one has grippers with rubber and metal points on the shoes(think studded snow tires).
-50C is -58 F. -40 same, and there are 18 degrees F per 10C.
I got a dual read outside thermometer-60F= -45C
its the same in Winnipeg manitoba.
No school closures for cold.
even snow days rare here, we would need a hell of a blizard that lasted multiple days to stop the busses and the plows.
Winnipegers now what im talking about!
Saskatchewan too
@@mienafriggstad3360 And Alberta, as well.
Only ever remember having a snow day in 1997 due to a weekend blizzard. It was the only time I ever had one while in school
Tyler, have you considered celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving in October with your friends and family (those who don't think you're crazy), and filming it to share here...food preparation, yours and other peoples' reaction to the experience, etc.? I think it would be an interesting cultural exercise.
I grew up in the Yukon to answer your question about schools closing the only time they close the school for cold weather as if the pipes freeze
"welcome to canada" is a new canadian citizen trying to walk to their car on ice for the first time 🤣
I have to say Tyler, you’re always so sweet AND diplomatic in reference to these dual country instances. I think I’m gonna keep watching you! 🫶🏻
The man sliding is holding an ice breaker or ice pick or ice chopper or ice scraper ... whatever term you want to use, but it is made to break off thick ice in your driveway, sidewalks, or even in some cases, ice fishing. Yes, that snowplow has to be waiting around the corner watching you shovel your tush off and when you're done, they do pass by creating a huge snowbank at the end of your driveway (and it's usually hard to shovel too as it has become hard packed). One reason why when we shovel, we make sure that the snow is also shoveled far left, so when the snowplow passes, it has less snow to push. But we're used to it in Northeastern Ontario.
Ice Scraper
I'm also up in Northeastern Ontario . What an unusual winter it's been . The mildest with the least snow I've ever seen .
Its not an ice scraper...it's a hoe...
@@robertrosicki9290same a just north of Toronto. Used snowblower twice this season. Normally about 8 times. Lake ice is sketchy.
I live in Ontario but had a heart attack in Calgary. The hospital staff were so amazing. I had triple bypass surgery and hospitalized for 6 weeks and it didn't cost us a nickel (pennies don't exist anymore) except for the hostel suite we had to rent but in the US, it would cost around a half million dollars
For a second there I thought the problem was the moose are getting their tongues stuck to cars 😆
Me too; probably both
Yeah, my mind went there for a second...
Me too lol😂😂😂
A trick most Canadians know is that when it snows you lift the windshield wipers up so when you get up in the morning they aren't frozen to the windshield.
Yup! You'll even see people do it with their cars at work if they know they'll be getting some nasty weather/temps that day.
Hard no for Saskatchewan… it more than likely going to break your wipers. Leave them down and scrape your windscreen and crank up the defroster….
Petting a bird on the back mimics mating... no wonder her got love bites
dangerous is when it is minus 40C, (or more), and you locked yourself out in the middle of the night.
I used to see dust devils all the time. My primary school was built in a way that would make these dust devils spawn. They were always tiny and a bunch of fun to watch. That big one in the video, that is the biggest I've ever seen... I wouldn't be close to that one.
That's a tornado who ever was videoing this they are nuts
@@larrynelson4909Oh yes, definitely a tornado and a big one at that. I should have specified that that really isn't a dust devil
Hey, New-Brunswick here!
Our winter has been very mild overall this year (by our standards anyway! 😅). Last week though, at least in my parts, we had two big snowstorms only one day apart from each other. We got hit with the first one, had the next day mostly sunny, then the day after we got hit again by an even bigger one! Each of them around 40cm of snow. 😂😂😂 Apparently winter decided last minute that no, it was not in fact done with us, here's some more snow to shovel. Spring will just have to wait its turn. ❄🌨🌨❄😭
About the icy sidewalks, I remember a few years ago during winter we had freezing rain and very low temperatures for 3 or 4 days in a row. The roads were a nightmare, and the sidewalks/driveways/parking lots were so iced over, it was like the whole town was a giant ice rink. Just walking from your door to the car was a freakin extreme sport - and there was a good chance your car doors would be frozen shut! There was this thick layer of ice covering everything, cars and roofs and stairs etc... The tree branches were all broken from the weigh of the ice covering them. Same thing with the power lines, there were many power outages. I remember trying to walk to the grocery store - I lived very close to it back then - and giving up not even halfway through because I couldn't take two steps without slipping and nearly falling! I then thought of the parking lot of the store, a slightly inclined hill also covered in ice, and I just turned around and went back home! 🤣
Ah, the Canadian winters... They can be rough sometimes, but they do make interesting stories!
And funny memes! 😉😁☃
If Parks Canada wants us to not allow a moose to lick my car, I think there should be an official procedure from Parks Canada posted on "how not to allow a moose to lick the vehicle!"
So true. I've seen two people captive in their car while the moose were licking. They couldn't move the car without damaging it.
I was thinking the same thing. How do you stop a moose?!
@@GingerM-xu9nf An 18 wheeler can do it. LOL. I was watching a bull moose on the other side of the river. I was standing in a little parking area with a great view of him. He saw me and decided to swim across and check me out. He came up to about 30 Ft. away and I guess he didn't like what he saw because he turned and left the area. I was a bit worried about his intentions.
It’s a critical tool for winter. The magnificent Snow Brush/window scraper.
Even our tornados are polite. That is really just a dust devil on steroids. 10:15
I have winter boots that have a cleat in the sole of the boot that you just flip over so the pick part that sticks into the ice when you walk it helps you to navigate without sliding or falling.
Also at -25 or 26 even once you dig your car out, you have to warm your keys so you can get the door open, then when you try to turn the car on it usually won't start because it's too cold, if you have a good battery and it does turn on you can't go anywhere because all the mechanics are frozen in the car all the metal parts the wheels, so you have to leave the car and even though the car says it's warm, the metal parts of the car are still frozen solid and they won't move, when they do begin to warm up enough that you can move, the creek and squeak and squawk, and once saved warmed up enough that they stop doing that between that time, you are praying that the bars that run under the car for the wheels etc are not going to break because they're so brittle from the cold
Now you go back inside because you're soaking wet from shoveling the snow and everything and you get changed and you come back out in the snow plow came down the road and buried your car again. It's really fun .b😂
😂lol😂
And you usually get a boot 2 weeks of weather like at -25 - 26 and it's bitter because of the dampness .
Their normal weather is snow piled high enough that if you're on the second floor of your house you cannot see the roof of the house across the street.
😅 Find eh?!
This has been one of the warmest, easiest winter of the last 40 years in Quebec at the very least… I had to shovel twice in the entire year because each time it snows, the next day it’s warm enough to melt..!
Famous last words.. 😂

@@YoshMaster I'm 48 and I can recall massive snowfalls as late as the 3rd week of april here in Montreal. Nothing like getting 30 plus cm that late in the "winter".. but those were exceptional years.. I'm more worried about march and that months consistent ability to let us all down 😆 🤞
I know it's been great so far 🤞
for the money we have alive people now the queen is gone we need to make some new bills now !!! so the older coins are worth more now !!!
To answer your question @ 6:25 . It's an ice scraper or ice chopper . It's a very vital tool for ice removal especially when you encounter that amount of ice like shown in that clip.
Were about to be hit with artic cold this weekend most of Canada will be freezing...But i dont mind the cold its better than the muggy summers in Toronto.Spring and Fall are amazing here too❤
Cobra chickens. Perfect description.
Yup the plow is hated once ur shoveling and that tram is called a "street car "
LRT
It's called a Canadian tornado, it says sorry and passes without damaged..! 🙄 Lol
LMAO its ethereal
Ethereal, not urethral. You don't want urethral problems when it's -40C. Think of that poor sock!
the Moose licking the car is because our road is salted/gravel during winter. if people allow them to licking it they wouldn't be afraid of vehicles and can cause problems.
Please do a video on The Yukon. It's absolutely beautiful with diverse weather and fantastic people. It's very remote, but the bigger cities and towns have everything. As you explore the Territory, the scenery is constantly changing. Midnight sun in the summer ☀️ and can reach +35C. Northern Lights in the winter, with little day light and can, but not always get as cold as -50C. I lived there for 17 years. My favourite place in Canada 🇨🇦.
I lived there for two years and I would love to go back 😊
I live there now. 😊

Its been a fairly easy winter so far..
The queen is on all our bills and coins. Eventually this will be replaced by King Charles on all our currency.
Tyler, I think the word you were looking for in the Banff ice TikTok was ethereal.
The fact that Canada is huge is very evident in this video. I'm from Alberta. We are praying to the Snow Gods. Haha! Our fields are almost bare. No melting seasonal snowfall means no moisture, which can mean poor crops(unless it's a wet spring). That can lead to having to buy feed all next winter. One horse will consume one large round bail a month in winter. If you have even a small herd, it could cost thousands of dollars.
Same in NB this year. Almost no snow cover. I expect a drought unless we get a bunch of spring rain
@@Sdoironpowers In the case of a dry spring, don't laugh if you see a viral video in the spring of a plumb, senior, wild-haired woman, dancing her boots off with her dogs singing back-up(huskies) as they try a rain dance!! haha!
I remember years ago farmers in the other provinces sending truck loads of hay bales to help feed the animals bc of lack of snow/rain. That's the Canada 🇨🇦 I'm PROUD to call Home 🎉😊
Here in southeast Ontario we’ve had very little snow… think it’s snowed a total of 5 times all winter so far. Ocean temps are still higher than normal so hurricane season will probably be bad
@@bienerbina4555 I remember those times as well. We local ones help each other out but that isn't often the case getting hay from down in southern AB if we need it up here. Many gouge for dollars.
That has happened to me so many times with the snow truck plowing you in just as you've been shoveling for hours and almost done here in Nova Scotia Canada

What's important is that you signal the right virtue - disgusting.
The ‘space ship’ is called a streetcar … they just introduced this style of streetcar ‘recently’ for a large city … they are accessible for those in wheelchairs/those in use of walking devices because they can put out ramps from certain doors
Not a walking stick. It is an ice chipper, used to chip the ice off the sidewalks and driveways. I don't think it helps you walk on the ice, lol
Apparently it does not help with navigating the ice at all.
As a Canadian, we legit to have to go to school in -50°C weather.. which isn’t that different from -50°F.
Every kid in Canada at some point learns the perils of licking something metal in the winter and having their tongue stick to it. They've either done it themselves or have known someone else who has.
Were you a licker?
Or did you learn from others?
My little brother licked the car bc he was convinced it was plastic, and he was stuck a good 15-20 minutes while we panicked, then boiled some water. He came free eventually, but not a week later he got stuck to something else bc he thought it was wood. (He was like 5, so brilliance was not in the books just yet)

That public transport vehicle is a cable car. Yes, it runs on the electricity it gets from the wires above it through the "stick" and it runs on the tracks on the road.
Even Canadian tornadoes are polite
There is no such thing as a nice Canada Goose!😂
I slipped on ice, and the next thing I knew, my neighbor was pulling me out from under my parked car! I seriously injured my tailbone, lower back, neck, and shoulder. That ice is very dangerous. You gotta walk like a penguin to safely get across.
Thanks for sharing this, Tyler. I am preparing to go out into the snow and ice to feed and water my Critters. This video made my morning and made the day feel so much warmer =D
My unsolicited feedback from Central Alberta:
0:54 Yep. My sister and I watched the Ft St John snow plough not only wipe out the recently shovelled walkway, it also took out the picket fence that was buried beneath the snow.
2:59 In Canada we have a ritual where, once a year, we transfer all of our nastiness into our Canada geese. Any residuals are passed on to the badgers.
This is a really polite Canada goose. Any other would have ripped his face off and flown off with his mobile before the badger could shank him for it.
5:27 Toronto's Light Rail Transit aka LRT.
6:09 You are not considered a true Canadian until you have wiped out on the sidewalk at least once a year. The stick he is carrying is an ice chipper.
9:15 Even our tornadoes are polite lol! With a Landspout Tornado, the air at the surface is spinning air that gets sucked up into a developing thunderstorm. They are short-lived and generally weak but can still hold winds of up to 100 mph.
11:30 In -50 means never inhale through your teeth or they will shatter.
14:24 This happened to my daughter a couple of weeks ago when she returned home from work at 11:30 PM. Thankfully, she had a lighter to use to thaw the doorknob and lock. The doors also should open inwards for often, especially after an exceptionally windy blizzard, there is a wall of snow blocking the doorway, which is why some households keep a snow shovel in the hall closet. Note that this photo was taken from the inside of the house.
