If people mistake me for American, I immediately apologize. . . I must have been rude.
😂
Good one!
lol
Lmfao 😂😮❤ I often reply with a loud WHAT! 😂
The old "Am I on the road?" is the real deal and requires nerves of steel. When we finally arrive our hands are like claws from the death grip we had on the wheel for the past hour or more lol.
I remember a book named "Where the Sidewalk Ends" ... these days, I tend to think it applies to where I need to walk on my way to work after 4-6 inches of snow.
yup its scary
And you always have the kids in the back, fighting about something or asking you a million questions.
Me: "DO YOU WANT TO DIE??? No? Then let me concentrate so I can get us home safely!"
Geese are so aggressive because when they return, it is in the spring. They are nesting and hatching young. They become very territorial and extremely protective at that time and will attack anyone or anything that comes to close. Since they eat grass and nest near water, they tend to nest in city parks, putting them in close proximity to people. I once saw a goose attacking and tree branch that fell too close to their nest. In late summer and fall, the Geese are quite chill and do not attack very often. Sorry for the long-winded rant.😅
For a couple of years we had a pair nesting in a grassy area around the base of a light in our company parking lot. They were so aggressive (putting people back in their cars) that they had to close down a large section of the parking lot to protect the employees.
We have Canada Geese all year in Vancouver, and they are aholes all of the time.
And they're f'ing BIG!
That picture with the hockey sticks was a method for deciding teams randomly. The symbol with the bacon was the logo for the Canadian Broadcasting Company.
the fellow bending over is aboot to close his eyes, reach down and, one hand at a time, slide one stick over here and another stick over there, until all the sticks have been separated. Whichever side your stick is on is the team you are playing with.
Geese aren't hated....just "respected" ❤ I read when they're up here in 🇨🇦 it's mating season, and they can be "feisty"🙂
Feisty, that's one way to describe Cobra Chickens.
Feisty you say, If you've ever had a cobra chicken latch onto your arse then beat the crap out of you with it's two metre wings I guess you could call it feisty I wouldn't I'd call it dinner.
I lived across from a park in oakville for 20 years. Early some mornings they would hang out...maybe 50 or so. I kept a respectable distance. They would hiss if I got too close, but no demons😈🙂
Yes, exactly. They often have eggs, or young around. It's not uncommon for smaller, tree nesting birds to swoop down at you, in mock attacks if you get to close to a nest. Geese are basically doing the same, except they can run at you, and are big, and confident enough to not have to bluff.
I was driving near High Park in Toronto. A few Geese were ambling across the road. Traffic was backed up for a bit. One person honked his horn. A goose just honked back!!!
Mert,that was a herd of elk(the 2nd largest member of the deer family) crossing the bridge. Moose are more loners and rarely travel in large numbers,are even bigger and have much more distinctive antlers (moreflat,broader almost like the palm of ones hand),although elk can have very large impressive racks as well.
giggity
Only because our ancestors screwed up, moose are called elk in northern Europe!
Growing up in Nova Scotia we lived a 20 minute walk from school - so - too close to take the school bus. That meant meant 4 trips to/from school each day in the rain, sun or snow. Once to school in this morning (20min), once 20 min home at lunch (eat and watch cartoons for 15 min), walk back to school(20min), then 20min home after school to play outdoors for a couple hours. Good times.
Same in Montreal. The snow in that picture was a good day! Not much snow (I've lived in N.S., too)!
From central Sask. In all the time I went to school it was never closed due to weather. This made sense as we would have just been playing outside anyway.
Last night my husband and I watched a video from last winter. A guy had been treed by a bull moose in the city where our daughter lives. (Red Deer, Alberta) The guy wisely stayed up the tree for 20 minutes while being circled by the moose, and waited a further 10 minutes after it left before getting down. This is a good way to deal with an angry moose, provided you can climb high enough, quickly enough!
Christ, that's scary. But if it was winter, at least it wasn't rutting season. They can be very irritable when their hormones are at full throttle and they have bloodshot eyes because they've been up all night fighting for the affections of a comely moose maiden.
@@daerdevvyl4314 🤣 True!
I remember hearing about that in the news.
Yeah, and people would look at me like I’m a moron when I say the moose in my yard are more scary than the coyotes or the occasional bear. I’m just up outside Edmonton.
the bacon is recreating the CBC logo.
Most places say, "It' so hot you can fry an egg on the pavement." Meanwhile they freeze on Alberta pavements.
We often have summer heat as high as +35 to +40 degrees C. So no freezing on Alberta pavements except for possibly a few days in winter!
@@pinky2245 but that was the joke.
But they freeze a lot quicker on Winnipeg pavements, if you can find the pavement under the snow.
Oh, and the connection between Texas and Alberta is oil riches. And cowboys.
"Rogers" refers to the 2022 communications outage that affected 12M internet and phone service customers bringing many peoples lives and businesses to a standstill. It's an oligopoly of which the 2 main providers are Bell and Rogers. Telus is the smallest player of them.
Yeah I remember that day. I’m still with Rogers because shit happens sometimes and it could happen to any of them.
Telus isn't great either. When they took over BCTel - which did a great job - in the mid 2000s Telus fired 6,000 BCTel employees mostly from the service crews. So of course the service became utter garbage.
Of course, now that Rogers has bought out Shaw, that oligopoly has just gotten worse.
the geese are a aggressive *because* after flying back north to Canada, it is then mating season and since the goslings do not start flying until at least *two to three months old* . So yes the geese are very protective of their *babies* as wildlife is. There are *wildlife crossings* over some highways including underpasses (tunnels) & overpasses (bridges) . The wildlife do use these crossings. it is awesome because some of them have web cams, and can be watched online
A fish finder is sonar but to find fish not submarines
Poutine is not from Montreal,there was no poutine there before the 80's, there is a dispute between two towns on where's the birth place of poutine, some says Drummondville, others says Victoriaville, the debate has been going on for sixty years, but it's definitely NOT Montreal... Love your channel. ✌❤
I was born in Drummondville and the first I heard about poutine was when I was 15 or 16. That would make it in 1970 or '71.
Interestingly, 52 years later I still have never tried poutine.
@@iancanuckistan2244Très vrai. Née en 73, je me souviens très bien d’avoir mangé de la poutine dès 77
Quand j’ai vu Montreal à propos de la poutine, sachant à quel point c’est un sujet sensible pour ceux qui se disent propriétaires de son invention, j’ai tout de suite été aux commentaires 😂
J’étais certaine que ça allait sortir 😛
Je ne sais pas moi-même d’où ça vient. Même si un jour on fini par le savoir, il y aura toujours des doutes parce que l’humain est fait comme ça mais aussi, c’est que tout ce qu’on va se souvenir c’est ces dramas éternels dont son origine a été la source 😅
Moi je n’ai pas de poulain dans la course 😄 C’est juste mon regard extérieur neutre et je me dis que je ne dois pas être la seule à penser ça
Canadian here. The Moose with the Goose. And yes, we hate geese. They poop everywhere and they're mean. I would surely rather to run into a goose on the highway than a moose. That spells death 😂
Yeah, they seem aggressive. But I love my Canada Goose jacket though 😊 It’s been snowing here in Norway, so your geese’s have kept me warm👍🏼😊 Thank you Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
You've heard of "deer in the headlights." Well, moose in the headlights has the look of "You may take me down, but you're coming with me!"
Pick up hockey. Throw your stick in the middle. Teams are first, third, fifth etc and second, fourth, sixth etc. Six per side unless each side has a goalie the five each
The Growing up Canadian Starter pack:
* Zellers was the discount department store brand for the Hudson's Bay Company (yes the same company that started Canada in the 1700's). Nowadays "The Bay" is more of a higher end retailer (or tries to pretend to be), and their Zellers brand was sold off to Target in the early 2000's (who promptly fumbled the roleout of Target in Canada, forcing them to retreat). Zellers is sort've coming back because it has a lot of brand recognition (people tend to remember things like Club-Zed points, Zeddy, the teddy bear mascot, and the greasy spoon diner most Zellers had), but as far as actual Department stores go, their niche is covered by Walmart, Giant Tiger and Canadian Tire for the most part now.
* YTV Is "Youth Television", a cable channel focused on kids programming, similar to Nickolodean. (in fact they aired a lot of Nick shows in Canada). They had dedicated after school blocks hosted by "PJs" (Program Jockeys). As an easter egg, ReBoot (one of the first computer animated TV shows) had an episode called "Talent Night". YTV aired ReBoot, so Mainframe entertainment included YTV's robot mascot as a background character. (I think in the Canadian airing of the eps, the mascot even had the YTV logo, while in the US airings it just had a bare chest). They also aired "Are you afraid of the dark"
* Much is "Much Music", Canada's version of MTV. They were the Cable TV channel dedicated to Music and Music videos. Like MTV, nowadays they air more misc shows than actual music sadly.
And on another Meme, I've been across the Hartland Covered Bridge. It's just an hour up the highway from me. :) It's a quaint little village, and the covered bridge is in the heart of it, crossing the Saint John River. Just a few klicks up river there's a larger more standard bridge crossing to handle highway traffic (from back when that was the Trans Canada Highway; now it's just a local road). The Covered Bridge itself is wooden. It is one lane wide, with a separate pedestrian crossing to the side (that is also covered). You would wait at either end for traffic to clear, and cross. I think very technically it is two lane, but everyone tends to treat it as a one way shared bridge.
New Brunswick is actually known for its covered bridges, but we've lost a lot of them through the years and decades. I think we're down to a dozen or so remaining for the most part. But the Hartland bridge is the world's longest and is still well maintained.
I'm older and we used to get crazy amounts of snow in some places. In Prince George BC when I was a kid they would pile the snow up on the median on some routes and you couldn't see the cars on the opposing lane until the spring thaw the snow banks were so high.
In New Brunswick the St. Patty's day storm was famous. One year we got so much snow dumped all the roads were closed for three days. Back in those days the Mounties had a single cherry light on the top of their cruisers. We had one great photo from the local detachment where that was all you could see of the cop car. We'd drive our Ski-doos downtown to get groceries as well.
Prince George as well. Most winters my Dad and brothers would shovel snow of the roof
My recollection of New Brunswick was a Groundhog Day storm where I had to travel from Miramichi to Fredericton, and at one point climbed a hill sideways in my little Datsun. This was in 1976.
@@ideasnotideology1101 That was the year, we lived on the Bay of Chaleur and those late winter storms dumped a ton of snow.
We had to go out the garage door to start shovelling because the wind had drifted the snow over the front of the house and the front door was buried to the top.
One day I heard a knocking on my window..quite gentle..it was a goose and a gander...(I lived in a basement apartment)...They were looking for food..I ran to the fridge and gave them a whole loaf of my freshest bread..leaving the stale for myself because I wasn't thinking...
The goose guarded his mate while she ate first...and he took what was left...it was very cool.
Fishfinders are devices that you put onto boats to help find fish. They use sonar to find the fish any fish it does pick up pops up on a screen and even tells you the depth they are at.
I make the best butter tarts in Canada. I say it without fear of contradiction.
Both Alberta and Texas are a mix of Ranches and Oil Field. We both tend to be more conservative because part of ranching and farming is the freedom that comes with your own land, and conservative politics tend to emphasize less government control.
In terms of the trucks, both working out in the oil field and on farms mean large trucks are needed. Vehicles are bigger for different reasons, one just being you drive much further distances in Canada to get literally anywhere, so having a bit more space in the vehicle makes the trip a little more comfortable.
As an Albertan this comparison always bothers me. I get it, kinda. Texas i think of guns, cowboys, bbq, blistering heat, desert, rednecks, hospitality. Some of these definitely apply to Alberta, some are only regionally applicable, and some not so much. Outside of a range, tv or hunting environment, i have Never seen a gun in my 45 years. And yes I've lived in rural Alberta.
New Canada one dollar bill is now a 20 ..... Inflation .... it's bad everywhere :)
They do have wildlife bridges in Banff National Park so animals can get across the highway safely.
And in Ontario
Proud Albertan here. I once lived in Ottawa for 2 years. The reason the 3 provinces are always battling is because we are oil rich, firstly.
The rest is Canadian history...long story short Ontario and Quebec have battled for centuries over who 'created ' Canada (sic).
Hello from beautiful Stony Plain Alberta! ❤
****Further...not everyone drives big vehicles here but where I live? How big, how high off the ground, how loud and what you haul in your truck bed equals status 😂😂 #truestory
As a Canadian that lived in both northern BC and Alberta I've definitely trekked through the type of snowy conditions shown in that one meme. It was so much fun that I retired to a place where I will never see snow again.
Northern BC ...just a normal day walking to school ...October to May.
Don't laugh, sometimes it's true.
😅🤣
@@brendamiller5785 I remember a March snowstorm here in southern BC.
Good for you. I remember trekking through such snow for a quarter mile after getting off the transit bus to get to Sisler High School in Winnipeg and having both my ears frost-bitten, but it was normal.
Try Yellowknife in January....
@@northernpunx1978 no thanks Edmonton in wheelchair was bad enough
The driveway sucking in the winter is hilarious and super relatable for me. Growing up my driveway was on I'm guessing a 30° incline and it suuucked to shovel growing up. Getting a snowblower was a lifesaver!
Geese are only a threat/problem during nesting season AND when you approach their nests, bur that is the same with ALL animals. Geese are ground nesters rather than tree nesters and they are large
The new $1 bill is a reference to inflation, $20 is now equivalent to $1
Parking spaces in Toronto are smaller in order to get more cares into the parking lot, pickups are uncommon in Toronto, very common outside Toronto
you're good. you guessed correct on then picking the hockey teams
The one dollar bill joke, it's a $20 and that's only worth $1 on currency markets. The Rogers meme, in BC we had 2 telecom companies, Shaw and Telus. Rogers is Canada-wide and just combined with Shaw making it the biggest in Canada. Canada geese protecting their nests and their young are like swans, very aggressive. Zellers was Canadas answer to Target. In fact when they closed down the location closest to me became a Target! Then Target went out of business in Canada and now we are getting Zellers reopening.The kids walking through the snow...one year we had snow so deep it was over the heads of the little ones. The school custodian dug a path from the school door to the road, the principal stood at the side of the road, the parents drove up to the principal and let the kids out and they were walked up to the door through the trench. 🤣 🤣 🤣 We were good, I drove a 4x4.
similarities between Texas and Alberta include common industries such as agriculture (grain or livestock depending on location) outdoor tourism (camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing, snowmobiling), resource extraction (oil, natural gas, mining, and forestry). Also Alberta and Texas have the shared history of the Wild West frontier days (from the 1850's through to roughly the First World War). In fact appx 430 of the 1300 troopers who served under Theodore Roosevelt in Puerto Rico during the Spanish American war were from the Canadian side of the Northern Prairies.
also, Crazy Politics/Politicians!!
@@nancyrafnson4780 Especially when COVID hit. All the crazies came out of the woodwork. I mean, for all they complained about the COVID restrictions and lockdowns, that's the only reason our per-capita casualty rate was far lower than the US.
That was enjoyable! I liked the "driving on snow" one, with is there a road here! I have actually driven on a highway in southern Saskatchewan during a snow storm. It was too dark to find a place to pull over, and I was following a transport truck that was kicking back snow from its rear tires. But I hung in there, figuring it was still safer than stopping, and at least i could follow the truck's pathway. NEVER again, though!
Canadian geese are sweet little cuddle buddies. Anyone who says otherwise walked too close to their nest.
8:50 It's generally not a good sign if the packaging is only willing to commit to "meat".
Meat from WHAT???
Book fairs were fun.
Zellers was basically Canada's Target store.. Much is the Candian MTV.. Smarties is american M&Ms, YTV is Canadian Nicelodeon, Book Fairs - In primary school, once a year, (new) education oriented books would be sold to kids in school at very discounted prices to encourage reading. "Are you afraid of the dark?" was a tween show on YTV.
I loved the Scholastic book fairs. What sucked is that I never had a large allowance as a kid.
@@BlackEpyon I didnt have an allowance at all but in lieu of an allowance we had money for the bookfairs (wasnt much but it was enough), treats on long trips, etc.
The $1 bill one is a joke about inflation
Cobra Chjckens, Plaid sweater jackets are called Coe Hill Dinner Jackets
Those elk (wapiti) on the bridge in Banff National park are on either a road or the CPKC mainline railway bridge. Not one of the specialized wild life overpasses. Those have land and trees on them and are at least 50 yards wide
That green bill is $20 Canadian, but with the recent increase in the price of rent/housing, fuel, food, Trudeau's environmental taxes/fees and the wages not going up means that what you get for $20 nowadays you could have gotten for a lot less many years ago
8:58 hear me out, make a sandwhich with mayonnaise and just that meat 2 slices, and then you toast the whole thing in a toaster oven, or a regular oven... Its so good
Let me tell you, the Canada goose can be a nasty creature. I just had one refuse to let me out the door to catch a bus. Two buses later, I made it home. Moose are so plentiful in New Brunswick that a fence runs along the roads to keep them penned in, otherwise they love to charge the car, especially at night. Alberta is oil country, like Texas.
Where do you live?
@@brendamiller5785
Edmonton, Alberta but my “home” is New Brunswick.
The “new $1 bill”, was actually a $20 bill, poking fun at inflation.
I'm Canadian, retired on the west coast, raised on the shores of Lake Erie, work career mostly in the north.
Goose on a moose was my favorite and hockey sticks tossed on the ice was a way to make teams in a spontaneous pickup game.
IN any service industry, human error occurs, orders will be wrong.. this is due to the face that they're paid low wages, It's not 1960s anymore, most people who work there know that it's low wages, and a dead end job. you're not going to get rocket scientist driven work ethic... and it's due to the fact that they get so many orders where the expectancy is in minutes. regardless if it's 1 item or 20 sandwiches. Even rocket scientists would get this wrong occasionally when they deal with thousands of orders every single day.
And so at some point people are going to know someone who has their own personal story of a wrong order, or they themselves will have one. And it's easy to disparage a minimum wage employee about it, and it gives a dopamine hit of superiority to them. When someone who gets paid very high to do they job makes mistakes over and over again they can't get away with abusing the employees. Just look at their government. Their government hasn't stopped screwing up and there is no repercussion for it.
Mac and cheese loaf is actually pretty good..
I'll bet it's good fried up cuz mac & cheese is fantastic fried up the next morning, almost as good as scrapple!
I use to love it
The container ship one had me laughing out loud hahaha
At the end, that's the CBC logo made with bacon in a pan😂
Food inventions...
Where's the Nanaimo Bar? 🤦
2-75 Front St, Nanaimo, BC V9R 5H9 🙂
It was the 2nd one on the list.
@@pvdogs2 ah, ok. Awesome.
The "egg" covered in snow is the Vegreville, Alberta Ukrainian Egg. Look up a photo of it online. It is huge.
The "Canadian bacon" shape is the CBC logo.
❤Canadian geese are monogamous and stay together throughout their life time, the male protective of the dam and both protective of yearlings. They are not so much aggressive as territorial. If one of the mates gets sick or ails, the other will stay with their mate til better or unhappily death. They have do not necessarily mate again but become the elders…. Canadian Geese have been considered the logo of Canadian tenacity.
The bacon in the pan looked familiar to you because it was actually depicting the logo of the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC).
Moose are HUGE! My brother was in our rowboat on a lake in Quebec and decided to play with a moose call….it was the call of a female rose and the male moose were in rutt at this time….suddenly we heard this crashing thru the bush as a bull male raced and swam towards my brother. You have never seen someone row so fast in all your life. My dad had to shoot a gun in the air to deter the moose…
Silly boy!
You should visit some time….I have to say I won the birth lottery being born in Canada!
Rogers is one the big telecoms companies in Canada
The animals on the highway overpass are elk, I believe. Moose are bigger than elk. Rogers is a telecommunications company. In my home province of Ontario, the ice chunks which form underneath and behind a car’s tires are called “carburgs”. Instant mashed potatoes are potato flakes in Canada, not a fine powder. The hockey sticks on the ground are how people are choosing their teams. The green bill is $20 Canadian currency. Someone calling it the “new $1 bill” is being facetious since our dollar is worth less than $1 US. It’s true that there are a few doggy daycare businesses in Canada which pick up family pets in their buses once or twice a week and take them to play parks etc., then bring them home. The pets have their friend groups and sit together on the buses. The parkades in some provinces have spaces which are designed for larger vehicles. Albertans are known for their love of large SUVs and pickup trucks. The Schneiders brand of cold meat is for real. The Schneider meat processing plant is in Kitchener, Ontario, where I used to live. Kitchener is also home to the Dare Cookie Company and Weston Foods, maker of Colonial Cookies. On warm summer nights, where my home was situated in Kitchener, I could smell cookies everywhere. Yes, that’s what going to school in winter looks like in most of the country and yes, that was my reality growing up in Ontario. 🥴 I believe another person mentioned that the bacon in the pan was cut in sections to form the symbol for the CBC network. The CBC has had this logo for decades. A little extra info about Canada geese: while the males are especially aggressive during mating season, we have always been warned that geese are generally very intolerant of humans getting even slightly too close and will react. You never turn your back on a Canada goose because they are unpredictable, persistently mean and hold a grudge! I hope this helps you and that you and your family doing well! 🇨🇦😊👍🏻
I used to live near Granville island in Vancouver. One day I was walking on the seawall towards Kid's Market. I had my 5 year old daughter on my shoulders. A Canada Goose ran out from behind some bushes and started chasing me. My daughter thought it was hilarious. Thankfully it gave up after about 20 yards. Damn those thins are edgy!!
We associate Alberta as Canada's Texas, Toronto as Canada's New York City, Winnipeg as Chicago of the north because of how similar the architecture in the downtown area is and how windy both cities are known to be.
My mom used to pull me in the toboggan to the daycare. It was nice but also meant I wasn't getting warmed up enough moving, so I froze. But I hated walking in the snow lol.
be honest, Toronto is Canada's Butt-hole, Ottawa is the prick and Montreal + Quebec are the nuts.*
*substituted the profanity for descriptive terms that don't hide the real terms at all.
Brilliant. The peameal bacon at the end in the pan is in the shape of the CBC Logo. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It is OURS.
I've driven over the covered bridge while touring the Maritimes on my motorcycle. When I returned to the area a few weeks later, it was closed because the town (I believe) was holding a huge dinner party as part of some local festivities. It looked really cool.
That Alberta thing is so true, especially in underground parking lots like at WEM. If you’re not used to it, it’s damn near impossible to park with big vehicles
Tim Horton's is notorious for giving you what they think you should eat instead of what you ordered 😂
As Canadians, we love our brothers to the south and are happy with our differences
They tried pay toilets in some places in Canada for a while, but people just held the door for the next person. It probably wasn't worth the 10 cents per day they made on them.
Bacon design in the frying pan is the Canadian Broadcasting Council
Alberta is it's own thing, it's just very rural with lots of oil and agriculture. We only get compared to Texas for those reasons. But life here is very very different from Texas in almost every aspect.
It's nothing like Texas. But Texans will tell anyone everyone want to be them. We don't, and we're not. Only some wealthy loud mouth hicks say we are.
The 20$ -> 1$ bill is a joke about the Canadian economy tanking right now.
"Meat, mac&cheeses loaf" - I used to eat that as a kid in my school lunch. That was in the '60s.
The bacon logo is the logo of Radio-Canada.
The province of New Brunswick once was the proud owner of the two longest covered bridges in the world. A Halloween prank went wrong and the second longest covered bridge in the world was burnt down. It was terrible.
As a Canadian,I can verify all these as true!
the hockey thing with the sticks on the ice is a way you choose teams. everyone throws their sticks in a pile and one person then throws the sticks in even numbers into 2 piles. you pick up your stick and that's the team you are on.
@0:46; looks like elk just making use of an empty highway overpass.
We LOVE our grumpy geese
The sticks in a pile - everyone puts their stick in a pile at centre ice - one person divides the stick into two piles (left right left right) - you follow your stick - dividing the players into team at each end of the ice.
Poutine is from Quebec. However on PEI we upped the anti. A restaurant in O'Leary invented 'Fries with the Works'. In Newfoundland you can have 'Wicked Fries'!! (Also available on PEI from food trucks)
Loaf would be as we call it mock meat mock chicken and meat is a mix of pork ,beef
Yes, we LOVE those shirts!!
The reason why Alberta Canada is compared to Texas is because we have a lot of oil in Alberta and our roads are not that great that's why everyone drives big trucks
The fried ham was in the shape of the CBC logo.
I remember eating some poutine at my aunt's as a kid when we'd visit her in Drummunville PQ in the early 60s. It was not uncommon in the local restaurants either
The reason Alberta and Texas are so close is OIL. The oil industry is complimentary to each other. About the pick-up truck. Texas has the highest number of pick-ups per capita in North America... Alberta is a very close second.
The geese are fine as long as people leave them alone.
Much is Much Music, like MTV in the States. Zellers was a Canadian Department Store, gone when Walmart moved in but now making a slow comeback.
Yes, during mating season Geese, like many animals, are very protective. Human mothers tend to be as well.
0:50 That's most likely a pedestrian bridge, or a railway bridge.
1:20 Rogers is a telecom company, and telecom compagnies are generally hated in Canada.
2:20 We do eat rather rich food during winter in Canada. The reason that our population isn't anywhere near as fat is that your body consumes a lot of calories during winter just to keep you warm.
3:10 That's loose dunnage which is actually illegal. Police will stop you if they catch you. It only takes a small amount of ice to punch right through the windshield of the person following you.
5:00 Canada is extremely resourceful and inventive. This is a direct result of Canada being a society of immigrants. The interactions between peoples of different cultures and backgrounds allows us to be at the forefront of innovation in many domains. A lot of the stuff which ends up being produced in the US was invented or designed in Canada.
5:44 That's the queen of England. They were supposed to change the design with the ascensions of Charles III, but it seems that it has not yet happened, and to be honest, he just does not enjoy the same notoriety in Canada as the queen did.
7:06 Trucks are quite common outside of large cities. With Canada being such a large country, there are large portions that are rather rural.
8:50 I've never actually seen that thing anywhere. Schneider's is better well known for ham and sausage.
11:49 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, otherwise known as CBC is a government owned news channel.
The ice hockey shot is of a pond hockey game choosing teams by throwing their hockey stick on the ice.
The meat, Mac & cheese is super.. Something. I like to get it in big slabs - it's soo... Something else. But I do eat it often.
You need to come home to us. Canada. You ARE us. Think on it wee man.
Canadians bbq all year round. Our family tradition is to eat steak, hot dogs, and hamburgers cooked on the barbie - often by my son in law who wears his sandals and shorts (with mits, touque, and a flashlight so he can see when its done)
I had to go to school "on a day like that" many times; however, in one particular case, I went to school in knee-deep snow in my t-shirt (no coat or sweater). Trick of the tale is, I lived across the street from my high school and had a great day because most didn't show up and the curriculum was cancelled for the day which meant that, those who showed up just sat around to shoot the sh*t as we liked to say which just meant chatting if that expression isn't universal which it should be.
The game "am i on the road" is also known as, "who's lane is it anyway"
When it comes to Alberta, Alberta is a world totally unto itself so the rest of us just dont ask any questions about it
You haven't stepped in poop until you've stepped in goose poop.
those are elk
melted cheddar cheese on a piece of apple pie with a bit of whipping cream on top is my memory of the trip up north .
The shape of the Canadian bacon represents the CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corporation), Canada's version of the BBC.
