Dude, i`ve been to the Canada guide website before and i for sure thought it was made and upheld by the Canadian government, but this whole time it was you?? Good job on that one!!!
As a federal public servant, I can confirm that because everything has to be designed by a committee of people who would work on a given project only part-time while juggling other tasks, there is no way we would be able to match that kind of quality.
This was very interesting to learn! One of the best stories of love and humanity came out of Newfoundland. On 9/11/01 so many US based passenger planes were forced to land at the nearest airport, which was in Gander, Newfoundland. The town was doubled in size (I believe) by the people who were on the planes, and the town just really came together, they opened up their school gymnasiums to make them into shelters, took families into their homes, fed people, and treated them with the greatest of hospitality in a terrible time for America. As an American, I will always love Canada for that. Also, my podiatrist was Canadian, and you guys discovered insulin and gave us Cobie Smulders!! If the US ever goes to war with Canada, I am defecting.
as a resident of Niagara region I agree about Niagara falls, if you have go there take time to go hiking in the Gorge, the white water walk, or check out the butterfly conservatory and the Botanical Gardens, its a better experience in my opinion. If you go even farther into Niagara falls as a city you will see first a lot of run down and abandoned buildings, and then get to more modern developed parts of the city that look like pretty much everywhere else. Another point, please never go to marineland, its a horrible place with a history of not treating its animals or employees well
I'm also brazilian and I don't like the stereotypes that are usually connected to Brazil. Brazil is much more than soccer and other stereotypes. I don't even like soccer (:
This was fun. I practiced my French while reading the little French sentences in the Canada passport. I'm proud of my French pronunciation even though I don't know the language that well. French people have even commended me when I've traveled to la France! :D
That's surprising, I've heard that the French are very snobby about their language and when my mom went there she says that they made fun of her for being American and trying to speak French, and preferred to speak in terrible English than have her "degrade" their language
@@kevincronk7981 yeah I've heard that about Parisians, specifically. I also heard Quebecois will be happier to speak French to tourists than the French would be. Although the pronunciation is different
Here in Baltimore, we had a CFL team, the Stallions, for two years, in the 1990s, which did pretty well, because we were annoyed at the Colts moving away from the city in the middle of the night, and the NFL not giving us a new franchise until 1996, which spelled doom for the Stallions
I was on Ottawa during the 100th anniversary of Viny. The French tried for 2 years to retake the ridge. The Canadians did it in a few days and the allies held it until the end of the war.
You are a true gem to us Canadians! Your videos are very insightful and it really makes me second guess a lot I thought I understood about our country. Thank you for all that you do, including outside RUclips!

I love learning more about nations that don't get a chance to be in the world news. This is partly why I'm such a proponent of English Lingua Franca, it erases the language barrier can learn more about the world. I'd love to learn more abot Canadas history and as a student that takes history so intensely, it was great seeing the parallels of Canda and USA in its inception to today. I kind of view Canada as Austria to America's Germany, kind of helps with relationship building i guess lol. Would love more politcs and such from you
Harriffan Conshertini kinda ya but we had been in wars before that we see world War one as our time to shine militarily cause we got given the jobs the British couldent Crack and did those jobs well
Harriffan Conshertini Yes but unlike the Dardanelles campaign it was a triumph , not a disaster . Some historians said it was the greatest allies' victory on the western front then .
A little back ground to the Terry Fox run . He ran the equivalent of a marathon every day that he was able to run . His Marathon of Hope didn’t get very much publicity until he was getting to Toronto and some one told Issy Sharp ( one of the co-founders of the Four Seasons Hotels . ) about Terry’s marathon . Issy and his wife Rosalie had lost a son to cancer . It was Mr. Sharp who really gave the marathon its first huge donation which launched the recognition and media attention which made it the world wide run of hope for the world .
Fun fact : what were before known as "Eskimos" aren't only Inuits. They're Inuits and Yupiks, as well as also Aleuts, three similar people who migrated to North America way after all the rest of the natives and that's why they look differently, you might say that they're a different "race" by ancestry. BUT, Some tribes which are traditionally known as just "Indians" also come from that recent migration, like the Athabaskan speaking people, including the Navajo, although I guess that the Navajo are mixed between Indian (Older migration) and Eskimo by now already, while the northern Athabaskans living in Alaska still have mostly Eskimo ancestry. The Eskimo ancestry is very similar to some siberian tribes like the Chuckchi. In Canada, there's only Inuits. In the US, there's Inuits, Yupiks and Aleuts but they don't have an official different designation by law, although they do share one in the "Alaska native" category which doesn't make that much sense because some Alaska native groups have actually more proto-indian heritage and not proto-eskimo (Tlingit). And in Siberia there's only the Yupiks.
I say this a lot in my writing as well. I just hate getting specific about when things happened because I feel no one really cares. "The other day" is just a good way of saying "recently enough."
People get on me without end, because for me if it was yesterday... it was ‘the other day’ to me. Also if it happened pretty much anytime in the last week or so... it’s the other day
Excellently presented, as usual. I have glanced at the pages and knew what most of them were, but I loved how you went into some depth and commentary and linked it all together in a concise narrative of history.
Oh hallelujah, it’s a longer video today!! (PS JJ, would you ever consider doing a second video on national anthems? Yours seems to be one of the few that looks at multiple countries)
The multilingual anthems, like the ones of South Africa and New Zealand have always fascinated me :) The funniest one I've ever listened to is the (unofficial) Scottish one though XD Basically a song saying "F*** off England!"
Seconded. As an anthematologist for the past 30 years and a J.J. McCullough fan for the past 10-ish, hit me up if you want some feedback before you finish your video, JJ!
J.J.!!..you have taught me much more about Canadian history than I learned in a class on Canadian history required to earn my B.A. to teach U.S. history in Missouri..yes, we did need to know more than Canada seems to like ice hockey, and did not seem to like invasions from the U.S....
1608 in the sixtheenth century ? Also the telephone was already invented at the time of the building of the transcontinental railway . Bernier not being known ? The way you mention it sounds like they had to put a french canadian token.
On the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915 was essentially the same sort of deal but for Australia and NZ (I'm from NZ), and on a much bigger scale as there was a very large loss of life for the ANZAC (Oz + NZ) troops. All the stuff you said about it being a political awakening for Canada can also be said for Oz and NZ. Hell, we even have a national holiday for it (ANZAC day). Specifically for NZ there was also the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917 where over 800 NZers died all at once.
Illuminating video for this Yank. Minor point: at 13:25 you misspoke and stated that Quebec City was founded in 1806, but we know you meant 1608. Glad I subscribed.
OH! I recognize the Maheu name from working on my ancestry. I'm from the Hebert/Couillard and Boucher lines. I've seen the Maheu name many times in my readings.

Most passports are typically written in the most prominent language of that country and French, since international law mandates it. This is because French is recognized as an official language in 51 countries making it an international language. (There's also some old world logic behind this since English and Spanish are officially recognized in more countries than French) Although you are correct, in the Canadian passport everything is written in both English and French aside from the bare minimum ID page, due to the official languages act. (it's just not the only reason why the passport is in both English and French)
Could you do a video talking about the largest cities in Canada and like population and stereotype of the people that live there and things in the city
Great video bud! Good information for sure, but Terry Fox dipped his foot in the Atlantic ocean in St. John's Harbour in Newfoundland and Labrador, not Nova Scotia.
When you are on the New York side of Niagara Falls it is much less built up. When you look across the falls to Canada you can see that the Canadian side looks almost like a city with all the shops and restaurants. However, on the American side it’s more like tacky nature themed places.
I just wanna say that yesterday I went to an Italian Restaurant and the water that they gave to us had a "Flor-de-Lis" on bottle and on the cap. So although Google says that the symbol is associated with the French Monarchy it isn't exactly French. So it doesn't make very sense to say that that symbol is fully associated with the French.
I know people in the USA usually (and mostly) talk about Great Britain. I went to St Augustine . Four countries were fighting over this continent in the 1500s. Chiefly Spain and Great Britain. The Deutsch and French joined a side depending on what faction (IDK group) they were in. I understand that Canada had a few French trappers in its early days.
Adam The beast But I consider the canadian contingent of airmen to be the most fabulous to fly during ww1 . Raymond Collishaw (look at an old interview of him on youtube ,what an ace) , Donald Maclaren , Will Barker and so many others . Once air vice marshall Philip Joubert de la Ferté said that Barker had been the greatest fighter pilot of both world wars .
You just read that Qc city was founded in 1608, how can you tell us 2 sec later that it was founded in 1806? (Qc city is one of the oldest city in North America to, just saying)
Vimy Ridge was the first time all four divisions of the Canadian Corps attacked together. This is why it is said that Canada came of age in that battle.
New Brunswick is an odd place because while only a minority speak French, it is the province that has embraced bilingualism to the most fanatic degree, much to the consternation of the non-bilingual English speaking majority.
NBer here. A little over a third of the province is French with English being the majority spoken language. There are two main French groups. The Byrons (Quebec) and Acadians. Don't mix the two up because each group gets mad if you do. The Acadians are more well known due to the Acadian expulsion. The Cajuns in New Orleans are Acadians, although their own culture has taken it's own course. Bilingualism as a whole is a sore spot and always brought up when it comes to government spending. This is because there are two distinct systems for systems like Education and Health along with others.
I wouldn't begrudge Bernier too much, there's a LOT of history up that way (the old Northwest Passage Route). But most of it is VERY British (and mostly disastrous, see the movie "The Terror"), with a little bit of US Navy (and a rather smaller disaster). Then the passage was finally done be Ammundsen (finishing in 1906, yes the same guy who got the South Pole). Bernier would have been the first truly Canadian Seaborne expedition up that way (the British ones were basically Royal Navy Patronage (and way to have a reason to promote officers during the 19th century long peace). Sackville was a "flower Class" Corvette. Definitely not a :Battleship", it's barely a warship. It's a modified trawler that could be built in small basic shipyards (like the old ones in Britain or the new ones in Canada) and could carry enough weapons to threaten a U-boat. These were the backbone of the early battle of the Atlantic and were famously uncomfortable (weather wouldn't sink them, but they rolled so much you might wish it would). The Cruel Sea (book and movie) is about one of the British ones.
Well it’s not just Canada because a lot of the states in America were founded by friends my state in particular when we learn Illinois state history we learned that we were part of new friends and we learn our colony was originally a French colony along with these weird coops with native Americans and when the Brits took over they implemented their racial policy and literally separated mixed families and then later when Americans took over they kept the policies of the English and the French were either pushed aside assimilated or bred out of existence
If they really want to honor Canadian military greatness they should have included Leo Major, the unkillable, one-eyed French-Canadian super soldier who liberated Zwolle, by himself.
This is really nit picky but in the Terry Fox graphic he started in St. John's NL not Nova Scotia since that's the most eastern point. We don't have much as you can tell from what we have in the passport so please don't take this away from us lol.
May you please stop saying Indian, I’m a native person and it bugs me, Christopher Columbus thought he was India bought was actually North America, please educate yourself please.
J.J., you're a conservative but a lot of your views are actually liberal/progressive. I am a liberal who has a lot of views that are conservative/libertarian... Thoughts? Do you think that modern ideas of political parties are actually kind of antiquated? Can democracy do more for representation with modern technology and circumstance? How do you feel about the prospect of greater representation in western governments?
Actually, Vimy Ridge isn't important because of the loss of Canadian life. The bloodbath of the Somme had the most Canadians die in any battle of WWI. The reason Vimy Ridge is so important is because Canadians progressed more along the front that day than almost any other battle during the war. This was a battle where Canadians used strategy to progress rather than just traditional old war tactics from the 19th century.
>has shitty day at work >20 minute JJ video in my sub box when I get home There is a god. Seriously though, great video, learned a lot of things, love these educational videos
Also Fun facts: 1) there is no actual image/painting of Champlain that is proven to be accurate. 2) By all historical accounts, Champlain has died in the Old City of Quebec. No one knows for sure where his burial site is. Some archeological scholars of 20th century have spent years of research without success.
I'm not sure if you've done this already, but maybe talk more about Canadian wars? I don't know a lot about wars from any country, but I'm always interested in knowing more about Canada, especially from you.

should mention the Canadian Troops in the defend of Hong Kong in WWWII
7:37 Aren't those pumps, not derricks? (I mean the nodding donkeys)
@13:26, I did not see any British politician just the Royal family.
13:45 ... it's 1608, not 1806 ;-)
Sauppi86 Saupp Must be dyselxic
Just an ignorant, but to proud and arrogant to admit his mistakes. It is not the first and the last one un his vlogs!
Could you do a video talking about the largest cities in Canada and like population and stereotype of the people that live there and things in the city
Great video bud! Good information for sure, but Terry Fox dipped his foot in the Atlantic ocean in St. John's Harbour in Newfoundland and Labrador, not Nova Scotia.
When you are on the New York side of Niagara Falls it is much less built up. When you look across the falls to Canada you can see that the Canadian side looks almost like a city with all the shops and restaurants. However, on the American side it’s more like tacky nature themed places.
I just wanna say that yesterday I went to an Italian Restaurant and the water that they gave to us had a "Flor-de-Lis" on bottle and on the cap. So although Google says that the symbol is associated with the French Monarchy it isn't exactly French. So it doesn't make very sense to say that that symbol is fully associated with the French.
Batman00728 Games si tu le dis...😉
JJ always had some difficulty to understand the french culture.
@@VinceLocRS *"Some" is an understatement in his case.*
I know people in the USA usually (and mostly) talk about Great Britain. I went to St Augustine . Four countries were fighting over this continent in the 1500s. Chiefly Spain and Great Britain. The Deutsch and French joined a side depending on what faction (IDK group) they were in. I understand that Canada had a few French trappers in its early days.
The last spike sounds like something that happened here in the US
When I was young I used to do the same thing but with my dad's passport
Thanks god J.J. for bringing a video for us stressed human being.
JJ Billy Bishop was the best allied flying ace of WW1
Adam The beast No it was frenchman René Fonck .
vincent Lefebvre I stand corrected
Adam The beast But I consider the canadian contingent of airmen to be the most fabulous to fly during ww1 . Raymond Collishaw (look at an old interview of him on youtube ,what an ace) , Donald Maclaren , Will Barker and so many others . Once air vice marshall Philip Joubert de la Ferté said that Barker had been the greatest fighter pilot of both world wars .
You just read that Qc city was founded in 1608, how can you tell us 2 sec later that it was founded in 1806? (Qc city is one of the oldest city in North America to, just saying)
Vimy Ridge was the first time all four divisions of the Canadian Corps attacked together. This is why it is said that Canada came of age in that battle.
10:35 that's not John Diefenbaker, that's Darth Maul!
I believe (and I could be wrong) that the HMCS Sackville fought in WWI & WWII. And survived both.
The Sackville was only in WWII. The only Canadian ship to serve in both WWI and WWII is the CSS Acadia.
"Racing boat [...] beat the Americans [...] great hero in Canada" * last pic in passport * Wonderful :)
The Falls, ON is the Reno NV of Canada
Is it true that most people in New Brunswick speak French? I know Quebec speaks French but does New Brunswick mostly speak French?
About a third of New Brunswick speaks French, but it is predominantly English.
New Brunswick is an odd place because while only a minority speak French, it is the province that has embraced bilingualism to the most fanatic degree, much to the consternation of the non-bilingual English speaking majority.
NBer here. A little over a third of the province is French with English being the majority spoken language. There are two main French groups. The Byrons (Quebec) and Acadians. Don't mix the two up because each group gets mad if you do. The Acadians are more well known due to the Acadian expulsion. The Cajuns in New Orleans are Acadians, although their own culture has taken it's own course.
Bilingualism as a whole is a sore spot and always brought up when it comes to government spending. This is because there are two distinct systems for systems like Education and Health along with others.
J.J. McCullough I'm so sorry it causes them perpetual nervous breakdown ! Oh sorry I was just a bit sarcastic !
Ive been in New Brunswick a few times and i would say it's more like 40/60 in favor of English speakers.
I'm kind sad francis pegahmagabow is not anywhere here he had the highest kill count of any sniper in ww1
So crazy that you needed a Newfoundland passport to travel into Canada before 1949. Lol
Do I see grey hair on the left side of your head?
Oh much more than one.
If they ever find oil up in Nunavut, those Inuit living in Grise Fiord better get millions and millions of dollars for being responsible for it.
Was Quebec City founded in 1608 or 1806, as I think you mention both dates.
1608
I wouldn't begrudge Bernier too much, there's a LOT of history up that way (the old Northwest Passage Route). But most of it is VERY British (and mostly disastrous, see the movie "The Terror"), with a little bit of US Navy (and a rather smaller disaster). Then the passage was finally done be Ammundsen (finishing in 1906, yes the same guy who got the South Pole). Bernier would have been the first truly Canadian Seaborne expedition up that way (the British ones were basically Royal Navy Patronage (and way to have a reason to promote officers during the 19th century long peace).
Sackville was a "flower Class" Corvette. Definitely not a :Battleship", it's barely a warship. It's a modified trawler that could be built in small basic shipyards (like the old ones in Britain or the new ones in Canada) and could carry enough weapons to threaten a U-boat. These were the backbone of the early battle of the Atlantic and were famously uncomfortable (weather wouldn't sink them, but they rolled so much you might wish it would). The Cruel Sea (book and movie) is about one of the British ones.
HMCS stands for Her Majesty Canadian Ship
Currently the H does stand for Her but when there is a King on the throne it means His.
Well it’s not just Canada because a lot of the states in America were founded by friends my state in particular when we learn Illinois state history we learned that we were part of new friends and we learn our colony was originally a French colony along with these weird coops with native Americans and when the Brits took over they implemented their racial policy and literally separated mixed families and then later when Americans took over they kept the policies of the English and the French were either pushed aside assimilated or bred out of existence
Dates of north America
USA: 1776
Mexico: 1810
Canada: 1865
13:46 tu voulais bien sûr dire: "founded in 1608" pas: "founded in 1806"
In the twentieth century the British courts over ruled Canadian courts? Did I understand you correctly?
If they really want to honor Canadian military greatness they should have included Leo Major, the unkillable, one-eyed French-Canadian super soldier who liberated Zwolle, by himself.
by the way Québec city was founded in 1608 not 1806 ;)
Technically speaking nobody is average.
This is really nit picky but in the Terry Fox graphic he started in St. John's NL not Nova Scotia since that's the most eastern point. We don't have much as you can tell from what we have in the passport so please don't take this away from us lol.
Love your videos guy. BUT I need to correct you on the Terry Fox thing, he was actually born in Winnipeg.
May you please stop saying Indian, I’m a native person and it bugs me, Christopher Columbus thought he was India bought was actually North America, please educate yourself please.
J.J., you're a conservative but a lot of your views are actually liberal/progressive. I am a liberal who has a lot of views that are conservative/libertarian... Thoughts? Do you think that modern ideas of political parties are actually kind of antiquated? Can democracy do more for representation with modern technology and circumstance? How do you feel about the prospect of greater representation in western governments?
Curious, the War of 1812 isn't included in Canada's wars. 🤔🤔🤔
Yep being Canadian I like the NFL more. 3 down football is too predictable.
Wow 13:30, I wonder; in what language did they communicate!
I could hear the about in the title lol
Quebec City was founded in 1806! You mixed those digits up. 1608 not 1806.
AND TERRY FOX STARTED HIS RUN IN NEWFOUNDLAND NOT NOVA SCOTIA
Doing all that work then having some lazy dude who sits in an office come drive the last spike but be real hard to not drive a spike of your own.
13:46 Founded In 1608*** not 1806
Is anyone thinking about the Transcontinental Railroad when watching this video well the American one
Actually, Vimy Ridge isn't important because of the loss of Canadian life. The bloodbath of the Somme had the most Canadians die in any battle of WWI. The reason Vimy Ridge is so important is because Canadians progressed more along the front that day than almost any other battle during the war. This was a battle where Canadians used strategy to progress rather than just traditional old war tactics from the 19th century.
Well said, I'm amazed JJ didn't research that beforehand....thanks for providing JJ the correct info.
Thank you for saying this!
Over 10,000 Canadians died at the battle of Passchendaele.
Rindiculous “we went up Albertans, British Colombians and Nova Scotians and came down Canadians”
Sir Arthur curry was the boy
>has shitty day at work
>20 minute JJ video in my sub box when I get home
There is a god.
Seriously though, great video, learned a lot of things, love these educational videos
Funerary Dirge of course there *is* god!
Yes theres a God, His name is Jesus Christ
@@oldreliable5950 no therr ain't..
It's been four years, do you still have that job? Hope it's better
2:40 fun fact about the picture of Samuel de Champlain - it's a statue in Ottawa, and he's holding his navigational tool (astrolabe) upside down.
Also Fun facts: 1) there is no actual image/painting of Champlain that is proven to be accurate.
2) By all historical accounts, Champlain has died in the Old City of Quebec. No one knows for sure where his burial site is. Some archeological scholars of 20th century have spent years of research without success.
I'm not sure if you've done this already, but maybe talk more about Canadian wars? I don't know a lot about wars from any country, but I'm always interested in knowing more about Canada, especially from you.
I love how you make some topics very interesting with humor.
I try my best!
We’ll keep it up.
@@JJMcCulloughare you from Canada? I am no deceiver I think that South Africa came to Canada and the way the Aboriginals were treated came from South Africa.
@@JJMcCullougha lot of Canadians especially White Canadians come from South Africa. I am still learning about what happened back then to the Southern part of the US. I grew up in the US but I was born in South Africa
@@JJMcCulloughdo you know anything about South America and the West Indies? I know that NY itself has a lot of Canadian and South American influence. Ellis Island is South America because of NY immigrants
Remember when this video was called Passport explained?
I don't :(
J.J. McCullough Hahahah
