It’s adorable that you equate blizzards with Freezing. As a Canadian, when it’s snowing I generally know it’s not that cold out. When it’s REALLY cold, snow doesn’t fall.
I was laughing at these until I realized today I was a Candian Meme. Pancakes and Maple Syrup for breakfast, an hour shoveling to get the car out, Tim's run (yes the car in front paid for me, I paid for the car behind me... a staff person told me the longest chain they've had was 11, it happens often but especially this time of year) got home and did the hot tub run (snow boots and swimsuit for the run to the tub and back) and now I'm sitting here in front of the fire in a red flannel onesie waiting for the next snow storm to hit... lol... I love being Canadian.
When I went to visit friends in California, when going through customs I was asked if I had something to declare So I told the lady I honestly didn't know because I was bringing 6 litres of Maple Syrup as a gift. She gave me a very confused look, her supervisor saw the interaction and came over to ask if everything was ok. When it was explained to her she laughed asked if i was Canadian and then said it was no problem before telling her employee it was a common occurrence.
LOL... yeah, we do that, don't we?🤣 I'd probably cry if they confiscated that much maple syrup. You just know customs would be throwing a big pancake breakfast for themselves later!
Pure Maple Syrup is actually like a luxury item, it's very valuable due to the time it takes to produce them... If you tried to resell maybe a litre of it in America, it'd probably go several times it's original price. Though I think you can order them on Amazon on a price premium.
Nevermind, on the American amazon, It's not even in stock, except for a few. 32 fl oz (less than a litre) is $21 USD. Or roughly 90 cents an oz at minimum.
The meme where they say that in England they drive on the left but in Canada we drive on what's left is showing all the pot holes that form in the pavement from the roads constantly freezing and thawing in the winter causing the pavement to break up and form holes.. so we have to drive around the holes on whatever road is left.
Like the saying, at least in French in Québec, that you know when someone is drunk driving when they go straight on the road and the one swerving is not cuz he’s avoiding the potholes.
Lol. When I moved back to New Brunswick, from Ontario, in 2005 I had to put curtains up on my bedroom window because after 2 weeks I got tired of waking up and seeing a moose looking in at me.🤣🤣
Oh my that would be a tad scary. The deer like salt so they will lick cars, dumpster bins and mailboxes in my neighborhood; Inglewood, Calgary, Alberta. Moose roam on the outskirts of Calgary, yet we mostly have Bears, Skunks, Squirrels of Black and Brown, Bob Cats, Coyotes, Beavers, Tasmanian Devils and the odd Porcupine. Moose are such silly animals it's hard to believe they are assholes and often their babies are alone...lol I hope your Moose stays.
It happens a lot to Canadians that, in the drive-through, other people pay our coffee/tea or even our meal, and we, of course, pay for the car behind us too. It's such a great feeling, on the receiving end, and on the giving end.
@@TheZayGS I'm sad to hear that. I guess, because I live in the suburbs, it might be a more frequent occurrence, and the 'big city' perhaps isn't as 'giving'?
Hey Tyler, as a Canadian, in fairness to my American cousins, I have to mention that the northern states , like Minnesota, North Dakota, etc. deal with very similar winter that we do. They get just as much snow and cold as we do , sometimes more ! And they are just as good at dealing with it and carrying on. Ice fishing, snowmobiling, all winter activities really, do not stop at the border.
In major Canadian cities I wouldn't exactly leave my keys in my car overnight, except by accident. On the other hand when I was a kid in the min 1970s, in a suburb of Toronto, we accidentally left our front door open after loading up the car for a 2 week vacation at the cottage. A neighbour noticed, stuck his head in to see if anyone was home, then locked up and closed the door.
I love that you're getting a lot better at understanding the references, good for you! To me, bunnyhug is almost exclusively a Saskatchewan thing. I've lived in Ontario and British Columbia, and no one I've ever spoken to has said anything other than hoodie or sweatshirt, maybe pullover (depends if it has a zip or not).
Agreed. I grew up in BC and now live in Newfoundland. They're hoodies, sweaters/sweatshirts, or MAYBE kangaroo jacket (specifically the non-zip type with the unipocket in the front.)
Lived in Saskatchewan- call them bunny hugs too. There are many other differences across the country like eaves trough here and gutter in other places. Meals are breakfast, dinner and supper- but think that might have to do with farming communities and many many more!!
you are very complementary towards canada . i love that. you are very fair. and thank you for teaching me things i learned about canada but have forgotten. 85 year old fan.
Did you forget that we were a British colony until relatively recently? Canadians, on average, drink twice as much tea as Americans, though coffee is still the number one choice. TETLEY BOLD FOR THE WIN!!
I committed the cardinal sin of cutting into a Tim Hortons drive through line but to be fair I didn't see the other portion of the line. (Long story I won't go into) I was more than a little embarassed, and asked the clerk what the order cost was for the guy behind me. And yes I paid for his and mine!! Sorreeeee!!! 🍁🍁
Oh man, the drive-thrus for Tim Hortons are the busiest of any fast food chains in Canada. From the moment they open in the morning, all day long, the parking lot always seems to be a minimum of 20 cars deep.
At one point, my neighbourhood was so infested with them that there were 5 between my house and a mall a 20 minute walk away. One in a mall, one at a gas station with a drive through, another full service with just a parking lot right next door, one at a strip mall, one right across from that strip mall with a drive through, and then one in the same parking lot as my destination. And traffic at the gas station/full service got gridlocked going eastbound every morning because people were waiting to turn into the parking lots. Even installing double-drive throughs at their stores didn't help.
Here are some answers to some of the questions and comments you had. It actually snows less the colder it gets. Timmies is more like a dunken doughnuts then starbucks and a coffee is ~2$ for a large but ever since burger king bought it in 2014 people have been getting more and fed up with it they changed the coffee supplier and it's not as good and have been adding more and more menu items to try an make it a fast food place a lot of people have switched to mcdonalds for coffee here as they got the old tims supplier. Most of the rest of the world spells colour with a u Americans are the weird ones. Bunnyhug is only in certain parts of Saskatchewan that it is common. pop and soda depends where you are from like in america different regions use different ones. Jumping in snow is something you have to be careful about and can normally only be done safely in an area sheltered from the wind or after a lot of fresh stuff falls otherwise the wind can pack it into pretty much solid ice and you can hurt yourself.
Hey are you from Saskatchewan or Alberta? I wore bunny hugs for 20 years and now it's kangaroo jackets in Alberta. Snow hides hydrants and much more....I did slide down a quancit in Dalmeny, 1979/80
True story: One year my vitamin d levels were so low that instead of taking a dangerous amount of supplements, my doctor recommended 15 minutes a day of sun exposure. We had enough snowt allowed me to build high walls of snow around my deck and I hung out in shorts and t-shirt 15 minutes every day. It's not the snow that's cold so much as that brutal, piercing wind. Any wind breaker will keep you toasty.
No one I know in my region (southern Ontario) calls it a bunny hug. Only ever heard "hoodie" until I learned that Regina calls them bunnyhugs in a youtube video.
The empty highway is more than just a funny meme, it is a real image of the 401 (one of the busiest highways that is often bumper to bumper) during the hockey final of Canada vs Sweden at the Sochi Olympics (see date and time at the bottom of the image).
I live in the area of Montreal, Quebec and yes, there are bears nearby especially if you go a bit North... you don't have to go far to see them. In my area, somewhere between Montreal and Ottawa, we see one once in a few moons... we have moose and deers and foxes and goose (he he he). Hope the winter storm won't hit you too hard... for us, they're predicting partly snow (between 15 and 30 cm - which is a foot - depending where you live) and mostly rain and freezing rain (yerk) for the Montreal area... Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Behind the snow plow was a toboggan, when you said sled, I was oh there is a Canadian/American difference!!! I am pretty sure most Canadians have a picture in an album of some epic snowfall. Tyler are you familiar with snow angels? Every Canadian kid has made a snow angel!!
Everytime someone mentions a "bunnyhug" in one of these videos I always wonder if they have actually talked to Canadians. I think the term "bunnyhug" is only used by people in Saskatchewan and certain boomers lol. Everyone I have ever known calls it a hoodie. Hoodie just makes sense
There's a thing in Canada where someone will pay for person's order behind them, then that person is expected to do the same for the person behind them, and so on. There's been trains of people for hours at a drive thru paying for someone else's order
We have been having a Canadian type of winter here in Vancouver thanks to an Arctic outflow. Even have nice dry snow thanks to the cold. An enterprising guy here rigged up his electric bicycle with a double bladed snowplow that split and throws the snow to each side. Quite impressed by how well it works. Yes, even where I live in Vancouver proper we get bears, coyotes, etc., and even have a beaver living a block away. The Johnny Depp movie is Finding Neverland. The empty hwy for the Olympic gold depends if 1. Canada is in it, and 2. Who we are playing. Don't know if they do this down your way but I have seen every big pile of snow in a mall parking lot at Christmas with at least one or more jeeps parked on it. Think the most one pile had was 4. Meme 50- we try not to drive in the pot holes after the snow melts(the cannabis meme was valid).
Tim Hortons was bought by Burger King's parent company in 2014 and it hasn't been the same since. They changed their coffee recipe then and started roasting their own. McDonald's now gets their coffee from Mother Parker's, who used to supply Timmies, so a lot of Canadians have switched to McCafe coffee. They also stopped using the correct wax paper for donuts around that time and ever since the icing comes off in the bag. It's sad but McD's is way better at both now.
When I was younger we had a snow storm that dumped 49 inches on Mar 31 and we lost 3 feet of snow in 12 hours. The rivers were running high that spring.
We often have Lake effect snow caused by the storm fronts pulling large amounts of moisture off many large water bodys , normally on the leeward side , I have seen snowflakes as big as large bird feathers. This happened in Barrie Ontario. But some storms on the east coast can deposit devastating amounts of snow over a period of days . This just makes the snowmobilers happy and the skiers smile but the ice rinks will be shoved off again . The sled and snowblower meme actually made by Honda, I can describe as close to using a rototiller in the snow. Snowblowers are awesome electric or gas.
In a small Canadian town, leaving keys in car is safe bet. Larger cities,NO. Some northern Territories, it's the law to leave cars unlocked, so as anyone has somewhere to hide from polar bear attacks
@@bcpr9812 yeah I live in a city in Canada and my dad had 2 separate car break ins tow first time his wallet was stolen the second time he scared the guy away by yelling and nothing was there to steal.
I live in Northern Manitoba and polar bears are now venturing further inland from Hudson Bay to communities not used to dealing with polar bears like Churchill is. Grizzly bears are also moving further east. Vehicles and houses are left unlocked as refuge from polar bears and/or black bears. Many remote communities don't have roads in so if someone did take a vehicle they wouldn't be going very far.🙂
When it comes to snow in the US it really depends were you live, my sister moved to MN in the US and they have just as much snow and cold weather as we do, all the cities closer to Canada
I'm Canadian, and have left my keys in my car overnight. I've also forgotten my keys in my front door as well, every time it was unintentional. I also never lock my car doors (I never leave things of value in there), and rarely lock my front door...I've never really thought about it actually.
I went downtown North Vancouver last summer, parked on Lonsdale and went shopping. I was gone for 2-3 hours and when I returned I couldn't find my car keys. I searched everywhere and finally found them...in the ignition of my unlocked car that had been running the whole time!
I live in a suburb of Montreal. A few years ago I went on vacation for 2 weeks and didn't realize that I hade left the back patio door open, just the screen door, and nothing happened to my place.
Yes me too actually! Leaving the keys in the front door happens.... and I’ve lived in quite a few places where I’ve never bothered to lock any of my doors.
Fun video Tyler: I like your videos that you react to our Canadian Craziness. It makes me feel even more proud to be a Canadian when I see your reaction to some of the things that go on just over the border, and how we deal with it.
I was in Virginia in the winter a few years back and it felt so cold, even though it was not nearly as cold as it gets in Canada. I couldn't figure out why, then I realized.... Canadians walk to stores, to groceries, to the subway, even in the winter, American drive everywhere, this isn't laziness, but due to lack of pedestrian infrastructure. Basically I was colder because I was only moving from car to building, building to car, instead of walking a few blocks and warming up.
Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories and only in the province of Saskatchewan do they call hoodies bunnyhugs. Lol. Also, in Australia, New Zealand, and in the U.K. they spell colour with the " u" as well as words like flavour, neighbour, honour, and favourite ( to name a few) . Lol. Also, when there's a blizzard, there's obviously a lot of cloud cover. This actually has a bit of a incubator effect and keeps the temperature from being extreme cold. However, with the high winds it can still feel pretty uncomfortable. During Canadian winters, it's the clear sunny days, or clear starry nights that you must beware as there's no" cozy" cloud cover and the temperatures get very cold and bitter. I enjoy your videos. Subscribing.
I used to live in a small town (2000 people) in Northwestern Ontario and our summer entertainment was going to the dump to watch the bears! There were always at least 4 to 8 of them...obviously not much to do in a small town...🤣🤣
I lived in northern Ontario for 30+ years before moving to Toronto for my work. My car never got lost in the snow until Toronto got a freak blizzard and buried it! Saw my only episode of thunder snow that same storm. You haven’t lived until you have a thunderstorm with lightning in the winter. Awesome!
These instances are very, VERY rare though. While moose are as intelligent as horses, they have a very different temperament making them far more difficult to tame and train as mounts. You can’t treat them like horses. You have to train moose in a completely different way, starting when they’re young calves and are still growing (unlike horses which are aloud to grow to full size before being broken and trained as mounts). In Russia they have domesticated moose, but for consumption and not as mounts or beasts of burden. Much like how we now have bison ranches raising bison for consumption the way we’ve been raising cows for generations. I think that some other members of the deer family are also domesticated and raised on ranches for consumption, but for some reason we don’t have moose ranches. Which is a pity because moose venison is delicious.
Canadian Mosh Pit at 3:00 is super accurate (at least for me). Went to a metal concert in Toronto in 2019, mosh pit in the middle. People entering and leaving the mosh pit were super polite. Mostly, 'excuse me, sorry, thanks, excuse me,' in that situation though, haha.
Actually I live in the province next door to Saskatchewan ( to the west ) and in all my years over 1/2 a century I’ve always called it a bunny hug. Different strokes for different folks.
I have done the pay it forward when I could, especially when there is a young teen or a stressed out mom with young children at Timmies or McDonald's. They plow the snow over and over again. And yes scary as heck to drive down. Sidewalks can get like that before they clear the sides. I think you would love the maple syrup bottles made of glass that doesn't transfer any flavours to the syrup. You can even get some with berries that are native to that specific area. When it is snowing it tends to be warmer than when it is sunny. Snow storms can hit up to the last week in April. Colour, Honour, hoodie is normal in Ottawa. Polar bear swimming makes no sense to me but there are many people who love it. Snow blowers kick butt. American visitors are better driving in snow than say a visitor from a country that never gets snow at all. Their first winter makes them nervous.
Definitely a lot of tea drinkers in Canada! Coffee is still more popular as far as hot caffeinated drinks go, but I'd say at least 20% of people prefer tea.
If you were to average it out, every Canadian has over a cup of tea a day apparently. I'll guess that will get larger in time because of immigration. Tea is the number 1 flavored drink in the world. I have 3 or 4 cups a day.
Yes you can get tea at all coffee shops here in Canada. I saw a post a couple days ago from a former Starbucks employee who said the whole paying for the car behind you is a huge pain and creates problems like people getting wrong orders etc and pointed out that people should tip the workers instead of paying for peoples orders who were already prepared to spend money. The Canadian Ferrari was a Volvo. I always crave ice cream in the winter for some reason, you also see people getting slurpee a from 7/11 in the winter.
guess you never thought to leave a tip when your order has been paid forward. Of course not, you're to into what you think what everyone else should be doing rather than what you could be doing your self. As for myself I leave a tip and sometimes and more often than not the cashier pays the next customers bill with it. I asked a cashier at the window about that and they replied that there was still enough for a tip left over. very cool.
I like to tip the young kids that work at fast food establishments but so many of them say we are not allow to except tips. WHY WHY WHY NOT. It’s a service.
@@bonitamacphee4313 Many companies are very clear the employees are not to accept anything from the customer and could be written up for that. One I worked at was a bit more lack with them not minding customers bringing in treats but tipping with money was still a no no weirdly lol. From what I've heard it's generally just servers that are commonly allowed to accept tips.
@@bonitamacphee4313 I know, right? One time at Costco I was in line at the food counter, watching the young man behind the counter working his butt off, always smiling, polite, efficient. After I ordered and paid, I offered him a large tip. He said as much as he appreciated the gesture he couldn't accept it. I asked "What if I'm a clumsy old fart and I drop all these coins on your side of the counter?" He said, "I'd have to pick them up and give them back to you and tell you to be more careful with your money, you clumsy old fart." My Jesus, I laughed!
@@Theodorussfo I do not, will not tip Tim Horton's workers to hand me a coffee out a window and get paid $15/hr to do it. Tipping culture and especially entitlement of tips has gotten totally out of control here in Canada.
Tyler,did you know? That some border states do have Tim Hortons now. And also Timmies always supply's our military troops anywhere in the world that they are stationed
Currently in my part of Canada it's -32°c feels like -41°c. Went to shovel snow and my exposed hair and eyelashes were coated in ice by the time I got inside. Gotta love living in a country where the air tastes cold and hurts your lungs XD
We must be in the same part of the country. In the -40’s with the windchill here and extreme cold and blowing snow advisories for the last couple of days.
No, it's not everywhere in Canada that gets crazy amounts of snow that covers cars in one storm, but it can and does happen now and then. But some of the pics could be misleading, like the one where it said "at least I don't have to mow the lawn today" - it's possible that it's accumulated snow from several small snowfalls, not snow from one big snowfall.
It snows like that where I live. Three or four feet of snow in a twenty four hour period....nothing to us. But absolutely true, it does not happen everywhere in Canada.
when it's -20C out Americans say it's negative 20C, but in Canada when it's -20C we say minus 20C. plus there is an old joke in Canada, "I was watching a boxing match and a hockey game broke out" 😁
26:10 Bunny hug? Never heard about that. Here in Vancouver it was called a Kangaroo Jacket. I can’t recall when “hoodie” took over. Maybe around 2010. Or maybe being an old grannie it was just me!
Trust me, if you see a moose up close and personal it will scare the pants off you! They are huge and very mean looking, and dangerous! As for the bears, they don't come around densely populated areas unless there is a shortage of food in their natural habitat. If you have a cabin in the woods they might come around if they smell food. Temps here this morning -42C!
If you live in a region (town) where moose are common (as well as bears, as I do) the fear is more colliding with them on the road than seeing them in your yard (frequent). We have provincial signs stating "Zero or One Moose road accident so far this year". They definietly fall into the "if you leave them alone, they will leave you alone" category, but come to the roads to lick winter road salt off the edge of the road.
Nah, simply seeing a moose quite close isn't all that scary. Sometimes it's hilarious! A couple winters ago we accidentally scared one coming up on it on the skidoos and it slipped and fell twice getting away. Poor thing! Bear hanging around neighbourhoods is common in certain parts. They get used to the convenience of garbage cans, like overgrown raccoons. It's the cougars you will absolutely not see in a neighbourhood unless they've run out of things to hunt.
People pay for the person behind them in the drive thru a lot. I do it, I’ve had other people pay for me as well. It is a very easy way to brighten up someone’s day and it feels really good when it happens to you. I love that we do this and I hope it never stops.
I live in southern Ontario and Buffalo usually gets more snow than we do. The other weekend when Buffalo got 2m of 'Lake Effect' snow, I got around 5cm. Usually the amount of snow is relatively close, but Buffalo always seems to get more than I do.
100% The U.S. is huge, and the idea of snow in winter is not limited to just Canada. I'm not sure where Tyler lives, but sometimes I think he underestimates his own country. They have winter too
4:06 Where I'm at in Canada it got down to -49°C with the wind chill a couple of nights ago. That was -56.2°F. so I'm not surprised that ice would refreeze on the front of a car solidly enough that you could drive away and it would stay behind. 😅 26:19 In all of my decades, I have never heard of a hoodie being referred to as a bunny hug, not once! 👀
I love it, I have about a foot of snow and it's -33c feels like -41c. We should have 3 feet of snow but it's been dry for the last couple of years. Makes my beard freeze in a minute or so. That cut through the snow was made by a really massive snow blower and the picture with the lawnmower is what my yard should look like.
I have worked at 3 Colleges that were always built on the edge of a town, and we had Bear/Wolf Lockdown several times (3-5) a year, most in the Spring, but the wolves were any time.
The leaving keys overnight/leaving things unlocked thing is still a small town/rural thing. In the cities I've lived in (Toronto, Vancouver) I'm careful to lock up all my shit.
*shrug*, as someone who lived many years in Toronto (now in a small town), if you accidentally left your keys in your car door overnight there, the odds that they would still be there in the morning, as well as your car, is almost 100% as well despite the news and reputation.
Hi Tyler, hope you enjoy a somewhat white Christmas. They're calling for snow here in Ontario, Canada, but that's not new, I don't mind a white Christmas at all. I've paid for people in the line at Tims and yes I've had people pay for my order, I was in the grocery store today and a friend of mine paid for the two items I was getting, I ended up paying for the lady who had 3 items behind me in line.
I really luv the last meme! I have never saw that before! Tyler, your knowledge of Canada keeps growing and it really nice to see you laugh at these memes! Your becoming more Canadian eh! Stay safe, stay sane, stay Strong
Tea is definitely a thing in Canada. I've had to explain when I'm in the states that I want a hot tea, not iced tea. Also, I often pay for the person behind me in the Tim's drive thru
The pay it forward in a drive through is pretty common at my area. There are often posts in my neighborhood FB group thanking the random vehicle for paying for their food/drink. I've had it happen to me a few times in the last few years.
We like your meme's too. least both countries have a sense of humour goes a long way to put a smile on your face. Great video. Were not much different I Love America proud to be you're neighbore. We look after each other and have fun when your around, Your part of the crew EH!!!
I'm from Alberta Canada. It was -43C/-45F when I went out to do the chores this morning at 5:30am. Not windy though and that makes it bearable to be out in. We just layer up our clothes. Most of us don't make a fashion statement but we're warm!
@@paulpower4284 Too be sure! Much different than a damp cold. That cuts right to the bone. I'd rather have my dry cold. At least my cold freezes you before it can reach my bones! Less aching! You don't feel anything after about 2 minutes. Haha!
I left my keys all night by mistake on my car's door once, in Gatineau. Was still there the next morning. Also, Tim has sandwiches and soup and so on, not just coffee and cookies. Way better than Starbucks...
7:30 Can confirm, especially in the last couple of years I see this quite often. Someone will pay for their meal and then pay for whatever the person behind them ordered too. 12:14 that's just a creek where the water hasn't froze yet.
You’ve made so many Canadian videos (and iveatch so many of them), that my algorithm has been sending me more of our Canadian Tire ads than I’ve gotten in the last few years.
Tim Horton's in Canada is very well known to have customers come and do the "pay it forward". It happens frequently in the small northern BC town that I live in. Also, I see bears frequently. It is dangerous to fish from the riverbanks where I live in the fall because the grizzly population is so high. They come out with their cubs to get the fish and find you on the riverbank and you're left with nowhere to go. A young woman, last fall, had no choice but to enter the river up to her waist to try and get away as the sow charged her several times. And yeah, where I live, it happens a couple of times a year where I have to dig the car out of snow. When I was little, the school sent home notices telling parents to teach their kids to not play with the powerlines on the way home from school as the snow was piled up that high along the sidewalks. Street signs tend to disappear.
We don't get that much snow around here *usually* but as a kid I remember being relieved when we went sledding, that the snow was high enough to just snowmobile over the fences, so we wouldn't have to worry about gates. Sliding off the barn roof was amazing because you could just climb right onto the roof with the piles of snow. Also, as an adult, I had to shovel off the roof of my house, and jumping in the snowbanks and sliding off the roof into deep snow was still fun. A couple years ago we moved to another town in the area, and I wanted my trampoline. It was April and the snow was up to the mat still(yes, I leave it up all year! Kids love jumping on that thing in the winter!) So the kids and I went and dug that sucker out, took it apart, and loaded it up on a trailer, and it came with us. Ok, so maybe every 3rd year we have a pile of snow that burries trampolines, fences, cars(if they're parked that long) lol. I guess that's pretty often in the scheme of things. 😅 Right now we have had minus 40 weather for a few days....the sun is beautiful, but the cold makes it hard to be outside...and my washer drain froze while doing laundry yesterday....Canadian problems, eh? Sorry for the book. Lol 😜
My family got stuck in our house after the blizzard of 77. We lived out in the country and with drifting snow we were buried up to our second story. The township had to send in a front end loader to dig us out.
Pretty sure that picture with the road and the 25 foot high snow was taken in Japan. They get an insane amount of snow. I have seen something similar that was taken there.
I've had people pay for my tim hortons purchases too. 😁 So I like to buy hundreds of dollars in Smile Cookies ( 100% of the donations go to local childrens hospitals across Canada) Then I get the Employees to hand them all out to anyone in the store at that time and anyone in the drive-thru 🙂 love seeing the smile on their faces🤗
That's a great idea. I've had people pay for me before and I always feel bad when I can't pay it forward because I'm on a really tight budget (so why am I going through the drive-thru, you might ask), and I'm worried that I might not be able to afford the next person''s order. I like this idea of yours. i shall plan ahead for the next time. Smart!
I'm not rich. I live off a small disability but as long as I'm able to feed myself that's all I need in life. I don't need materialistic things or money to make me happy. My joy comes from the smiles of others. Giving will not only change your life for the better, but change others lives for the better. Giving just 1 thing and seeing the smile on another will change your life for ever I promise you. 🤗😘🇨🇦
It could’ve been photo shopped, but in some places in Canada it might not actually be that surprising to have an animal like a deer or elk possibly even a moose right outside your back door.
We've lived in our current house for 9 years now and not only do we not have locks on a single one of our exterior doors (nor would we probably bother to use them even if we did), but for the first 7 of those years was our front door even whole. We had bought an antique door with one of those twisty doorbells in the center but hadn't thought about the fact that we needed it to open the opposite direction. We switched the door knob/hinges to the correct sides for our house and then just shoved a washcloth in the hole where the knob had originally been and covered either side with a few strips of matching duct tape...for 7 years.
Yes, bears can be VERY common...even in cities ( maybe not Toronto area, like downtown) but in suburban areas can be quite common. A lot of green spaces and large parks nature reserves around. We live in Port Coquitlam B.C. ( hometown of Tery Fox ) there's rivers, lakes and stream everywhere here and LOTS of parkland. Bears follow said rivers , lakes, and streams for fish and other food and when forest fires occur. For the last few years Burnaby Mountain area have had fires so many wildlife followed those waterways to relative safety which explains how we had bears wandering through our back laneway ripping up garbage bins and inside the big dumpsters!!!
I've lived in my apt in a major Canadian city for 4 years. I only lock my apt door if I leave for more than 24 hours. Most my life I've never locked my doors
It’s adorable that you equate blizzards with Freezing. As a Canadian, when it’s snowing I generally know it’s not that cold out. When it’s REALLY cold, snow doesn’t fall.
So true, not "that" cold during a blizzard.
-45C here last night and a crystal clear sky.
@@CraftAero The sky always looks even more clear than a normal clear night to me, when it's really cold, too.

I was laughing at these until I realized today I was a Candian Meme. Pancakes and Maple Syrup for breakfast, an hour shoveling to get the car out, Tim's run (yes the car in front paid for me, I paid for the car behind me... a staff person told me the longest chain they've had was 11, it happens often but especially this time of year) got home and did the hot tub run (snow boots and swimsuit for the run to the tub and back) and now I'm sitting here in front of the fire in a red flannel onesie waiting for the next snow storm to hit... lol... I love being Canadian.
Today I walked in -30°C weather to the pool. The walk home, slightly damp and bundled in my parka, was a little nippy - my nose got cold.
@@hrayz that's awesome..lol... hope the walk was short -30c is a bit more than I'm happy with

Got a little tear in my eye when you called Tim Hortons Timmies. You are comprehending the Canadian lingo!
Beware when you start asking for a double double next time you go for a coffee.
Double double..those who are with me order a double double I will gobble gobble at them because they sound like a Turkey. Lol
When I went to visit friends in California, when going through customs I was asked if I had something to declare So I told the lady I honestly didn't know because I was bringing 6 litres of Maple Syrup as a gift. She gave me a very confused look, her supervisor saw the interaction and came over to ask if everything was ok. When it was explained to her she laughed asked if i was Canadian and then said it was no problem before telling her employee it was a common occurrence.
LOL... yeah, we do that, don't we?🤣 I'd probably cry if they confiscated that much maple syrup. You just know customs would be throwing a big pancake breakfast for themselves later!
Pure Maple Syrup is actually like a luxury item, it's very valuable due to the time it takes to produce them...
If you tried to resell maybe a litre of it in America, it'd probably go several times it's original price.
Though I think you can order them on Amazon on a price premium.
Nevermind, on the American amazon, It's not even in stock, except for a few.
32 fl oz (less than a litre) is $21 USD. Or roughly 90 cents an oz at minimum.
Lol me too they were laughing their assets off at the guy going through my 100 bottles lol
I went with a super cute farm girl and she did the "you are the cutest border guard I ever seen I do declare" joke. We were searched immediately
I noticed here Tyler says "negative" but we say "minus" when referring to the temperature
Americans almost always use the word *"negative"* , when talking about below zero temperatures.
I've always used minus, but I grew up in Michigan so maybe why??🤔
I know of a few people here ( I live in HFX) who say it, though it is rare. Probably from watching tv or parents who came from other places.
The meme where they say that in England they drive on the left but in Canada we drive on what's left is showing all the pot holes that form in the pavement from the roads constantly freezing and thawing in the winter causing the pavement to break up and form holes.. so we have to drive around the holes on whatever road is left.
Like the saying, at least in French in Québec, that you know when someone is drunk driving when they go straight on the road and the one swerving is not cuz he’s avoiding the potholes.
Lol. When I moved back to New Brunswick, from Ontario, in 2005 I had to put curtains up on my bedroom window because after 2 weeks I got tired of waking up and seeing a moose looking in at me.🤣🤣
Oh my that would be a tad scary. The deer like salt so they will lick cars, dumpster bins and mailboxes in my neighborhood; Inglewood, Calgary, Alberta.
Moose roam on the outskirts of Calgary, yet we mostly have Bears, Skunks, Squirrels of Black and Brown, Bob Cats, Coyotes, Beavers, Tasmanian Devils and the odd Porcupine.
Moose are such silly animals it's hard to believe they are assholes and often their babies are alone...lol
I hope your Moose stays.
Yup I would be freaked out too! He just wanted to come say hi to you on his daily trot lol
It happens a lot to Canadians that, in the drive-through, other people pay our coffee/tea or even our meal, and we, of course, pay for the car behind us too. It's such a great feeling, on the receiving end, and on the giving end.
It's happened to me twice this year... someone always runs it with a massive order! Lol
@@carlyg4852 Lucky you! That's great!
This has happened to me 0 times in almost 30 years of living in Toronto lol. Big city problems 😂
This happen to me at least once a month in Québec.
@@TheZayGS I'm sad to hear that. I guess, because I live in the suburbs, it might be a more frequent occurrence, and the 'big city' perhaps isn't as 'giving'?
The two babies are in buckets that we use to collect maple sap and they are hanging on a maple tree. That's what make this meme even more hilarious.
Hey Tyler, as a Canadian, in fairness to my American cousins, I have to mention that the northern states , like Minnesota, North Dakota, etc. deal with very similar winter that we do. They get just as much snow and cold as we do , sometimes more ! And they are just as good at dealing with it and carrying on. Ice fishing, snowmobiling, all winter activities really, do not stop at the border.
And then there's Alaska. I think we should make Alaskans honourary citizens of The Great White North
Minnesota also has moose and deer.
@@Caprabone yua, no kidding, it's not like the animals know what a border is, anymore than the weather. We all freeze the same, LOL !!
That's why their called little Canada
And New York .. they have had more snow then us this year.
In major Canadian cities I wouldn't exactly leave my keys in my car overnight, except by accident. On the other hand when I was a kid in the min 1970s, in a suburb of Toronto, we accidentally left our front door open after loading up the car for a 2 week vacation at the cottage. A neighbour noticed, stuck his head in to see if anyone was home, then locked up and closed the door.
I'm surprised no one brought the keys to their door. 🤷🏻♀️

I love that you're getting a lot better at understanding the references, good for you! To me, bunnyhug is almost exclusively a Saskatchewan thing. I've lived in Ontario and British Columbia, and no one I've ever spoken to has said anything other than hoodie or sweatshirt, maybe pullover (depends if it has a zip or not).
Agreed. I grew up in BC and now live in Newfoundland. They're hoodies, sweaters/sweatshirts, or MAYBE kangaroo jacket (specifically the non-zip type with the unipocket in the front.)
I've always called it a bunnyhug. But, I live in Saskatchewan
Lived in Saskatchewan- call them bunny hugs too. There are many other differences across the country like eaves trough here and gutter in other places. Meals are breakfast, dinner and supper- but think that might have to do with farming communities and many many more!!
Yep. I grew up in Saskatchewan and called them bunnyhugs but then moved to BC. My son was mortally offended when I called his sweater a bunnyhug. :)
I agree-bunny hug is a Saski reference. When I was a kid in the 1960s/70s hoodies with pockets were called kangaroos.
you are very complementary towards canada . i love that. you are very fair. and thank you for teaching me things i learned about canada but have forgotten. 85 year old fan.

Hey guys. We're sure having a mild winter so far eh? I've actually walked outside many times without dying...leisurely!
Me too! I grew up in North End and West Kildonan. Back when it was really cold - in The 1940s before Global warming!
Did you forget that we were a British colony until relatively recently? Canadians, on average, drink twice as much tea as Americans, though coffee is still the number one choice. TETLEY BOLD FOR THE WIN!!
I'm a King Cole fan.
I committed the cardinal sin of cutting into a Tim Hortons drive through line but to be fair I didn't see the other portion of the line. (Long story I won't go into) I was more than a little embarassed, and asked the clerk what the order cost was for the guy behind me. And yes I paid for his and mine!! Sorreeeee!!! 🍁🍁
Oh man, the drive-thrus for Tim Hortons are the busiest of any fast food chains in Canada. From the moment they open in the morning, all day long, the parking lot always seems to be a minimum of 20 cars deep.
At one point, my neighbourhood was so infested with them that there were 5 between my house and a mall a 20 minute walk away. One in a mall, one at a gas station with a drive through, another full service with just a parking lot right next door, one at a strip mall, one right across from that strip mall with a drive through, and then one in the same parking lot as my destination.
And traffic at the gas station/full service got gridlocked going eastbound every morning because people were waiting to turn into the parking lots. Even installing double-drive throughs at their stores didn't help.
We have 2. In my town where I live. 1 is open 24/7, and the other closes at 10 pm
Hey Tyler, I hope the snowstorm is not too devastating. I hope you are able to enjoy having a white Christmas. Happy holidays to you and your family 🎄
Steeped tea at timmies is my fav thing. No other drive thrus make a good tea.
Here are some answers to some of the questions and comments you had. It actually snows less the colder it gets. Timmies is more like a dunken doughnuts then starbucks and a coffee is ~2$ for a large but ever since burger king bought it in 2014 people have been getting more and fed up with it they changed the coffee supplier and it's not as good and have been adding more and more menu items to try an make it a fast food place a lot of people have switched to mcdonalds for coffee here as they got the old tims supplier. Most of the rest of the world spells colour with a u Americans are the weird ones. Bunnyhug is only in certain parts of Saskatchewan that it is common. pop and soda depends where you are from like in america different regions use different ones. Jumping in snow is something you have to be careful about and can normally only be done safely in an area sheltered from the wind or after a lot of fresh stuff falls otherwise the wind can pack it into pretty much solid ice and you can hurt yourself.
Hey are you from Saskatchewan or Alberta?
I wore bunny hugs for 20 years and now it's kangaroo jackets in Alberta. Snow hides hydrants and much more....I did slide down a quancit in Dalmeny, 1979/80

True story: One year my vitamin d levels were so low that instead of taking a dangerous amount of supplements, my doctor recommended 15 minutes a day of sun exposure. We had enough snowt allowed me to build high walls of snow around my deck and I hung out in shorts and t-shirt 15 minutes every day. It's not the snow that's cold so much as that brutal, piercing wind. Any wind breaker will keep you toasty.
Absolutely true
No one I know in my region (southern Ontario) calls it a bunny hug. Only ever heard "hoodie" until I learned that Regina calls them bunnyhugs in a youtube video.
Yeah its strictly a Saskatchewan thing.
I thought it was a Manitoba term.
@@VeryCherryCherry Nope. I'm a 'Toban and we call them hoodies.
Most people call them hoodies, in fact I've never heard anyone call them bunnyhugs.

The empty highway is more than just a funny meme, it is a real image of the 401 (one of the busiest highways that is often bumper to bumper) during the hockey final of Canada vs Sweden at the Sochi Olympics (see date and time at the bottom of the image).
Date definitely checks out, but it's not written in American. It's in yy/mm/dd format.
A lot of Canadian spelling simply follows the British spelling conventions, hence the difference.
I live in the area of Montreal, Quebec and yes, there are bears nearby especially if you go a bit North... you don't have to go far to see them. In my area, somewhere between Montreal and Ottawa, we see one once in a few moons... we have moose and deers and foxes and goose (he he he). Hope the winter storm won't hit you too hard... for us, they're predicting partly snow (between 15 and 30 cm - which is a foot - depending where you live) and mostly rain and freezing rain (yerk) for the Montreal area... Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I’m learning things I never knew about my own country, in an entertaining way. It’s great! Thanks T!
Behind the snow plow was a toboggan, when you said sled, I was oh there is a Canadian/American difference!!!
I am pretty sure most Canadians have a picture in an album of some epic snowfall.
Tyler are you familiar with snow angels? Every Canadian kid has made a snow angel!!
If you are a Canadian there was no "snow plough", let alone "snow plow" in that picture, there was a snow blower with a man on a toboggan behind.
Everytime someone mentions a "bunnyhug" in one of these videos I always wonder if they have actually talked to Canadians. I think the term "bunnyhug" is only used by people in Saskatchewan and certain boomers lol. Everyone I have ever known calls it a hoodie. Hoodie just makes sense
Bunnyhug is definitely a Sask regionalism, but my bestie in Vancouver has been assimilated. Ha ha!

There's a thing in Canada where someone will pay for person's order behind them, then that person is expected to do the same for the person behind them, and so on. There's been trains of people for hours at a drive thru paying for someone else's order

We have been having a Canadian type of winter here in Vancouver thanks to an Arctic outflow. Even have nice dry snow thanks to the cold. An enterprising guy here rigged up his electric bicycle with a double bladed snowplow that split and throws the snow to each side. Quite impressed by how well it works.
Yes, even where I live in Vancouver proper we get bears, coyotes, etc., and even have a beaver living a block away.
The Johnny Depp movie is Finding Neverland. The empty hwy for the Olympic gold depends if 1. Canada is in it, and 2. Who we are playing.
Don't know if they do this down your way but I have seen every big pile of snow in a mall parking lot at Christmas with at least one or more jeeps parked on it. Think the most one pile had was 4.
Meme 50- we try not to drive in the pot holes after the snow melts(the cannabis meme was valid).
Tim Hortons was bought by Burger King's parent company in 2014 and it hasn't been the same since. They changed their coffee recipe then and started roasting their own. McDonald's now gets their coffee from Mother Parker's, who used to supply Timmies, so a lot of Canadians have switched to McCafe coffee. They also stopped using the correct wax paper for donuts around that time and ever since the icing comes off in the bag. It's sad but McD's is way better at both now.
When I was younger we had a snow storm that dumped 49 inches on Mar 31 and we lost 3 feet of snow in 12 hours. The rivers were running high that spring.
We often have Lake effect snow caused by the storm fronts pulling large amounts of moisture off many large water bodys , normally on the leeward side , I have seen snowflakes as big as large bird feathers. This happened in Barrie Ontario. But some storms on the east coast can deposit devastating amounts of snow over a period of days . This just makes the snowmobilers happy and the skiers smile but the ice rinks will be shoved off again .
The sled and snowblower meme actually made by Honda, I can describe as close to using a rototiller in the snow. Snowblowers are awesome electric or gas.
In a small Canadian town, leaving keys in car is safe bet. Larger cities,NO. Some northern Territories, it's the law to leave cars unlocked, so as anyone has somewhere to hide from polar bear attacks
For real on that last one?
Yes for real.
@@bcpr9812 yeah I live in a city in Canada and my dad had 2 separate car break ins tow first time his wallet was stolen the second time he scared the guy away by yelling and nothing was there to steal.
I live in Northern Manitoba and polar bears are now venturing further inland from Hudson Bay to communities not used to dealing with polar bears like Churchill is. Grizzly bears are also moving further east. Vehicles and houses are left unlocked as refuge from polar bears and/or black bears. Many remote communities don't have roads in so if someone did take a vehicle they wouldn't be going very far.🙂
When it comes to snow in the US it really depends were you live, my sister moved to MN in the US and they have just as much snow and cold weather as we do, all the cities closer to Canada

Some municipalities in Canada have “ snowblowers” that cut through the snow. Usually there is a huge dump truck following for the snow to me removed .
I'm Canadian, and have left my keys in my car overnight. I've also forgotten my keys in my front door as well, every time it was unintentional. I also never lock my car doors (I never leave things of value in there), and rarely lock my front door...I've never really thought about it actually.
Where do you live that you could do that? And yes I'm Canadian too
I've left my apt. door keys in the door overnight a couple of times, purely by accident. Each time, my neighbour knocked on my door to let me know.
I went downtown North Vancouver last summer, parked on Lonsdale and went shopping. I was gone for 2-3 hours and when I returned I couldn't find my car keys. I searched everywhere and finally found them...in the ignition of my unlocked car that had been running the whole time!
I live in a suburb of Montreal. A few years ago I went on vacation for 2 weeks and didn't realize that I hade left the back patio door open, just the screen door, and nothing happened to my place.
Yes me too actually! Leaving the keys in the front door happens.... and I’ve lived in quite a few places where I’ve never bothered to lock any of my doors.
Fun video Tyler:
I like your videos that you react to our Canadian Craziness. It makes me feel even more proud to be a Canadian when I see your reaction to some of the things that go on just over the border, and how we deal with it.
I was in Virginia in the winter a few years back and it felt so cold, even though it was not nearly as cold as it gets in Canada. I couldn't figure out why, then I realized.... Canadians walk to stores, to groceries, to the subway, even in the winter, American drive everywhere, this isn't laziness, but due to lack of pedestrian infrastructure. Basically I was colder because I was only moving from car to building, building to car, instead of walking a few blocks and warming up.
Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories and only in the province of Saskatchewan do they call hoodies bunnyhugs. Lol. Also, in Australia, New Zealand, and in the U.K. they spell colour with the " u" as well as words like flavour, neighbour, honour, and favourite ( to name a few) . Lol. Also, when there's a blizzard, there's obviously a lot of cloud cover. This actually has a bit of a incubator effect and keeps the temperature from being extreme cold. However, with the high winds it can still feel pretty uncomfortable. During Canadian winters, it's the clear sunny days, or clear starry nights that you must beware as there's no" cozy" cloud cover and the temperatures get very cold and bitter. I enjoy your videos. Subscribing.
I used to live in a small town (2000 people) in Northwestern Ontario and our summer entertainment was going to the dump to watch the bears! There were always at least 4 to 8 of them...obviously not much to do in a small town...🤣🤣
I grew up in the NWT, we used to do that too.
We did that at camp....aka cottage...around Thunder Bay
Yea, I used to live a couple hours north of Toronto and the majority of times I saw bears it was at the dump lol
I lived in northern Ontario for 30+ years before moving to Toronto for my work. My car never got lost in the snow until Toronto got a freak blizzard and buried it! Saw my only episode of thunder snow that same storm. You haven’t lived until you have a thunderstorm with lightning in the winter. Awesome!
ANDREA....That's where I am now Thunder Bay....the town where we watched the bears was called Marathon...3 hrs east of Thunder Bay
Yes there have been actual situations of domesticated moose with riding saddles, "the Miramichi Moose Man" is an example xo
#Canadian
These instances are very, VERY rare though. While moose are as intelligent as horses, they have a very different temperament making them far more difficult to tame and train as mounts. You can’t treat them like horses. You have to train moose in a completely different way, starting when they’re young calves and are still growing (unlike horses which are aloud to grow to full size before being broken and trained as mounts).
In Russia they have domesticated moose, but for consumption and not as mounts or beasts of burden. Much like how we now have bison ranches raising bison for consumption the way we’ve been raising cows for generations. I think that some other members of the deer family are also domesticated and raised on ranches for consumption, but for some reason we don’t have moose ranches. Which is a pity because moose venison is delicious.
Canadian Mosh Pit at 3:00 is super accurate (at least for me). Went to a metal concert in Toronto in 2019, mosh pit in the middle. People entering and leaving the mosh pit were super polite. Mostly, 'excuse me, sorry, thanks, excuse me,' in that situation though, haha.
The bunnyhug thing is specific to the province of Saskatchewan.
Actually I live in the province next door to Saskatchewan ( to the west ) and in all my years over 1/2 a century I’ve always called it a bunny hug. Different strokes for different folks.
I’m Canadian and it has happened in a drive through and also on my birthday a lady bought me a small cake in the pay line.
There are places in Canada where it can be 20° Celsius/68Fahrenheit in the morning and then be -40 and snowing in the afternoon.
nothing was fake in these memes, all true my dear Tyler.
I have done the pay it forward when I could, especially when there is a young teen or a stressed out mom with young children at Timmies or McDonald's.
They plow the snow over and over again. And yes scary as heck to drive down.
Sidewalks can get like that before they clear the sides.
I think you would love the maple syrup bottles made of glass that doesn't transfer any flavours to the syrup. You can even get some with berries that are native to that specific area.
When it is snowing it tends to be warmer than when it is sunny. Snow storms can hit up to the last week in April.
Colour, Honour, hoodie is normal in Ottawa.
Polar bear swimming makes no sense to me but there are many people who love it.
Snow blowers kick butt.
American visitors are better driving in snow than say a visitor from a country that never gets snow at all. Their first winter makes them nervous.
Definitely a lot of tea drinkers in Canada! Coffee is still more popular as far as hot caffeinated drinks go, but I'd say at least 20% of people prefer tea.
The higher the age, the higher the percentage of tea drinkers.
Canada is the one of the largest consumer of tea even more then UK
If you were to average it out, every Canadian has over a cup of tea a day apparently.
I'll guess that will get larger in time because of immigration. Tea is the number 1 flavored drink in the world.
I have 3 or 4 cups a day.
I guess you could say that every part of our country experiencing winter, our population has a general obsession with warm beverages.
Yes you can get tea at all coffee shops here in Canada.
I saw a post a couple days ago from a former Starbucks employee who said the whole paying for the car behind you is a huge pain and creates problems like people getting wrong orders etc and pointed out that people should tip the workers instead of paying for peoples orders who were already prepared to spend money.
The Canadian Ferrari was a Volvo.
I always crave ice cream in the winter for some reason, you also see people getting slurpee a from 7/11 in the winter.
guess you never thought to leave a tip when your order has been paid forward. Of course not, you're to into what you think what everyone else should be doing rather than what you could be doing your self. As for myself I leave a tip and sometimes and more often than not the cashier pays the next customers bill with it. I asked a cashier at the window about that and they replied that there was still enough for a tip left over. very cool.
I like to tip the young kids that work at fast food establishments but so many of them say we are not allow to except tips. WHY WHY WHY NOT. It’s a service.
@@bonitamacphee4313 Many companies are very clear the employees are not to accept anything from the customer and could be written up for that. One I worked at was a bit more lack with them not minding customers bringing in treats but tipping with money was still a no no weirdly lol. From what I've heard it's generally just servers that are commonly allowed to accept tips.
@@bonitamacphee4313 I know, right? One time at Costco I was in line at the food counter, watching the young man behind the counter working his butt off, always smiling, polite, efficient. After I ordered and paid, I offered him a large tip. He said as much as he appreciated the gesture he couldn't accept it. I asked "What if I'm a clumsy old fart and I drop all these coins on your side of the counter?" He said, "I'd have to pick them up and give them back to you and tell you to be more careful with your money, you clumsy old fart." My Jesus, I laughed!
@@Theodorussfo I do not, will not tip Tim Horton's workers to hand me a coffee out a window and get paid $15/hr to do it. Tipping culture and especially entitlement of tips has gotten totally out of control here in Canada.

It's amazing that new Canadians are born with winter coats!!!
We shed the coats at the age of 6 and in grows the shorts and t-shirts, and we can never get the coats back
Currently in my part of Canada it's -32°c feels like -41°c. Went to shovel snow and my exposed hair and eyelashes were coated in ice by the time I got inside. Gotta love living in a country where the air tastes cold and hurts your lungs XD
Holy crap, that's brutal, where I'm from it's anywhere between 3°c and - 3°c.

@@rose-marie7351 yes! No one talks about how the cold makes your nose freeze shut haha
And your nose slams shut and freezes there! Can’t beat the -40 nose freeze!
We must be in the same part of the country. In the -40’s with the windchill here and extreme cold and blowing snow advisories for the last couple of days.
We give off this impression that we're friendly people, BUT, Us Canadians bottle our anger, which is why we handle cold weather, our blood boils, Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No, it's not everywhere in Canada that gets crazy amounts of snow that covers cars in one storm, but it can and does happen now and then. But some of the pics could be misleading, like the one where it said "at least I don't have to mow the lawn today" - it's possible that it's accumulated snow from several small snowfalls, not snow from one big snowfall.
It snows like that where I live. Three or four feet of snow in a twenty four hour period....nothing to us. But absolutely true, it does not happen everywhere in Canada.
I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve woken up to find my keys still in the lock in the front door 😅
when it's -20C out Americans say it's negative 20C, but in Canada when it's -20C we say minus 20C. plus there is an old joke in Canada, "I was watching a boxing match and a hockey game broke out" 😁
Canadian here in Ontario, never heard the term “bunny hug” always called a hoodie ✌🏻🇨🇦 and you are right, never, ever gonna get a saddle on a moose 😂
Look up the Miramichi moose man.
Bunnyhug is a Saskatchewan thing.
I've seen moose and bison trained to ride on when I was in Alberta. Never say never.
26:10 Bunny hug? Never heard about that. Here in Vancouver it was called a Kangaroo Jacket. I can’t recall when “hoodie” took over. Maybe around 2010. Or maybe being an old grannie it was just me!
Trust me, if you see a moose up close and personal it will scare the pants off you! They are huge and very mean looking, and dangerous! As for the bears, they don't come around densely populated areas unless there is a shortage of food in their natural habitat. If you have a cabin in the woods they might come around if they smell food. Temps here this morning -42C!
If you live in a region (town) where moose are common (as well as bears, as I do) the fear is more colliding with them on the road than seeing them in your yard (frequent). We have provincial signs stating "Zero or One Moose road accident so far this year". They definietly fall into the "if you leave them alone, they will leave you alone" category, but come to the roads to lick winter road salt off the edge of the road.
Nah, simply seeing a moose quite close isn't all that scary. Sometimes it's hilarious! A couple winters ago we accidentally scared one coming up on it on the skidoos and it slipped and fell twice getting away. Poor thing!
Bear hanging around neighbourhoods is common in certain parts. They get used to the convenience of garbage cans, like overgrown raccoons. It's the cougars you will absolutely not see in a neighbourhood unless they've run out of things to hunt.
@@JennaGetsCreative Maybe you're not aware that most run very fast and will charge you and will kill you. Super dangerous animals
@@personincognito3989 Oh I'm aware, we hunt them.
BEARS? YES, we have many! Bears do like drinking from hummingbird feeders in the spring! 🐻
People pay for the person behind them in the drive thru a lot. I do it, I’ve had other people pay for me as well. It is a very easy way to brighten up someone’s day and it feels really good when it happens to you. I love that we do this and I hope it never stops.

Try spending just one winter in Buffalo NY or even Cleveland Ohio. That type of snow is way more common than you think!!!
I live in southern Ontario and Buffalo usually gets more snow than we do. The other weekend when Buffalo got 2m of 'Lake Effect' snow, I got around 5cm. Usually the amount of snow is relatively close, but Buffalo always seems to get more than I do.
100% The U.S. is huge, and the idea of snow in winter is not limited to just Canada. I'm not sure where Tyler lives, but sometimes I think he underestimates his own country. They have winter too
The man riding the moose is real. He raised the moose from a baby and taught it to accept a saddle and bridle.

Where I'm at in Canada it got down to -49°C with the wind chill a couple of nights ago. That was -56.2°F. so I'm not surprised that ice would refreeze on the front of a car solidly enough that you could drive away and it would stay behind. 😅

In all of my decades, I have never heard of a hoodie being referred to as a bunny hug, not once! 👀
The hoodie was referred to as a kangaroo jacket.. as an alternative name.. I never hear that anymore..
@@pambp5978 I've never heard Kangaroo Jacket either. 👀
I love it, I have about a foot of snow and it's -33c feels like -41c. We should have 3 feet of snow but it's been dry for the last couple of years.
Makes my beard freeze in a minute or so.
That cut through the snow was made by a really massive snow blower and the picture with the lawnmower is what my yard should look like.
I have worked at 3 Colleges that were always built on the edge of a town, and we had Bear/Wolf Lockdown several times (3-5) a year, most in the Spring, but the wolves were any time.
The leaving keys overnight/leaving things unlocked thing is still a small town/rural thing. In the cities I've lived in (Toronto, Vancouver) I'm careful to lock up all my shit.
well those two places are barely Canadian anymore soooooooo
*shrug*, as someone who lived many years in Toronto (now in a small town), if you accidentally left your keys in your car door overnight there, the odds that they would still be there in the morning, as well as your car, is almost 100% as well despite the news and reputation.
@@_Y.Not_ It depends on the neighbourhood, I think.
Hi Tyler, hope you enjoy a somewhat white Christmas. They're calling for snow here in Ontario, Canada, but that's not new, I don't mind a white Christmas at all. I've paid for people in the line at Tims and yes I've had people pay for my order, I was in the grocery store today and a friend of mine paid for the two items I was getting, I ended up paying for the lady who had 3 items behind me in line.
I really luv the last meme!
I have never saw that before!
Tyler, your knowledge of Canada keeps growing and it really nice to see you laugh at these memes!
Your becoming more Canadian eh!
Stay safe, stay sane, stay Strong
Tea is definitely a thing in Canada. I've had to explain when I'm in the states that I want a hot tea, not iced tea.
Also, I often pay for the person behind me in the Tim's drive thru
The pay it forward in a drive through is pretty common at my area. There are often posts in my neighborhood FB group thanking the random vehicle for paying for their food/drink.
I've had it happen to me a few times in the last few years.
We like your meme's too. least both countries have a sense of humour goes a long way to put a smile on your face. Great video. Were not much different I Love America proud to be you're neighbore. We look after each other and have fun when your around, Your part of the crew EH!!!
I'm from Alberta Canada. It was -43C/-45F when I went out to do the chores this morning at 5:30am. Not windy though and that makes it bearable to be out in. We just layer up our clothes. Most of us don't make a fashion statement but we're warm!
But she's a dry cold me son.
@@paulpower4284 Too be sure! Much different than a damp cold. That cuts right to the bone. I'd rather have my dry cold. At least my cold freezes you before it can reach my bones! Less aching! You don't feel anything after about 2 minutes. Haha!
Hoodies are only called bunnyhugs in the province of Saskatchewan I believe.
Pretty much. I live in Saskatchewan & have always called it bunnyhug
It’s hilarious when you are walking and come across someone’s name spelled out in the snow with their pee. 😂😂😂😂😂 a man thing in Canada.
"Robbed Timmy's and stole all the little doughnuts" ahahahahaha, that made me laugh.
I left my keys all night by mistake on my car's door once, in Gatineau. Was still there the next morning.
Also, Tim has sandwiches and soup and so on, not just coffee and cookies. Way better than Starbucks...
I will have to respectfully disagree about Tim Horton's coffee being better than Starbucks and I think their food is pretty c***** too.
7:30 Can confirm, especially in the last couple of years I see this quite often. Someone will pay for their meal and then pay for whatever the person behind them ordered too.
12:14 that's just a creek where the water hasn't froze yet.
Same blizzard coming to Canada tomorrow
You’ve made so many Canadian videos (and iveatch so many of them), that my algorithm has been sending me more of our Canadian Tire ads than I’ve gotten in the last few years.
Tim Horton's in Canada is very well known to have customers come and do the "pay it forward". It happens frequently in the small northern BC town that I live in. Also, I see bears frequently. It is dangerous to fish from the riverbanks where I live in the fall because the grizzly population is so high. They come out with their cubs to get the fish and find you on the riverbank and you're left with nowhere to go. A young woman, last fall, had no choice but to enter the river up to her waist to try and get away as the sow charged her several times. And yeah, where I live, it happens a couple of times a year where I have to dig the car out of snow. When I was little, the school sent home notices telling parents to teach their kids to not play with the powerlines on the way home from school as the snow was piled up that high along the sidewalks. Street signs tend to disappear.
We don't get that much snow around here *usually* but as a kid I remember being relieved when we went sledding, that the snow was high enough to just snowmobile over the fences, so we wouldn't have to worry about gates. Sliding off the barn roof was amazing because you could just climb right onto the roof with the piles of snow. Also, as an adult, I had to shovel off the roof of my house, and jumping in the snowbanks and sliding off the roof into deep snow was still fun. A couple years ago we moved to another town in the area, and I wanted my trampoline. It was April and the snow was up to the mat still(yes, I leave it up all year! Kids love jumping on that thing in the winter!) So the kids and I went and dug that sucker out, took it apart, and loaded it up on a trailer, and it came with us. Ok, so maybe every 3rd year we have a pile of snow that burries trampolines, fences, cars(if they're parked that long) lol. I guess that's pretty often in the scheme of things. 😅 Right now we have had minus 40 weather for a few days....the sun is beautiful, but the cold makes it hard to be outside...and my washer drain froze while doing laundry yesterday....Canadian problems, eh? Sorry for the book. Lol 😜
Sounds like a typical Canadian winter. Merry Christmas.
@@mgjbutler you as well. Merry Christmas!!
My family got stuck in our house after the blizzard of 77. We lived out in the country and with drifting snow we were buried up to our second story. The township had to send in a front end loader to dig us out.
SW Ontario near Chatham?
To me, Tim Horton will always be the defenceman wearing #7 for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
I've visited his grave; someone left a coffe mug on the tombstone
Exactly! A Leaf who actually won The Cup!
Your genuine American innocence is borderline hilarious. Yes moose can be ridden, a guy near Dryden, Ontario’s had two pet moose.
Pretty sure that picture with the road and the 25 foot high snow was taken in Japan. They get an insane amount of snow. I have seen something similar that was taken there.
Newfoundland has snow and the equipment to do roads like this.
Thank you! I'd seen that picture before and couldn't remember where it was taken.
They have enormous plows in the Rockies, because there’s so much snow, which is where that photo was taken.
Tyler, you are just the sweetest and kindest RUclipsr I've ever seen. Are you sure you're not Canadian? Love your content! 🇨🇦❤️
I've had people pay for my tim hortons purchases too. 😁 So I like to buy hundreds of dollars in Smile Cookies ( 100% of the donations go to local childrens hospitals across Canada) Then I get the Employees to hand them all out to anyone in the store at that time and anyone in the drive-thru 🙂 love seeing the smile on their faces🤗
That's a great idea. I've had people pay for me before and I always feel bad when I can't pay it forward because I'm on a really tight budget (so why am I going through the drive-thru, you might ask), and I'm worried that I might not be able to afford the next person''s order. I like this idea of yours. i shall plan ahead for the next time. Smart!
True Canadian !!
I'm not rich. I live off a small disability but as long as I'm able to feed myself that's all I need in life. I don't need materialistic things or money to make me happy. My joy comes from the smiles of others. Giving will not only change your life for the better, but change others lives for the better. Giving just 1 thing and seeing the smile on another will change your life for ever I promise you. 🤗😘🇨🇦
If you feel like your life isn't that great try giving to another. See the smile on there face and it just might change you
I’ve literally been snowed on every single month of the year. Sooo the lawnmower meme makes sense to me!
It could’ve been photo shopped, but in some places in Canada it might not actually be that surprising to have an animal like a deer or elk possibly even a moose right outside your back door.
One time i came out of a hotel in saskatoon and a moose was in the parking lot of a nearby mall
We've lived in our current house for 9 years now and not only do we not have locks on a single one of our exterior doors (nor would we probably bother to use them even if we did), but for the first 7 of those years was our front door even whole. We had bought an antique door with one of those twisty doorbells in the center but hadn't thought about the fact that we needed it to open the opposite direction. We switched the door knob/hinges to the correct sides for our house and then just shoved a washcloth in the hole where the knob had originally been and covered either side with a few strips of matching duct tape...for 7 years.
Tyler you need to watch a movie called "Canadian Bacon" it a total meme
Yes, bears can be VERY common...even in cities ( maybe not Toronto area, like downtown) but in suburban areas can be quite common. A lot of green spaces and large parks nature reserves around. We live in Port Coquitlam B.C. ( hometown of Tery Fox ) there's rivers, lakes and stream everywhere here and LOTS of parkland. Bears follow said rivers , lakes, and streams for fish and other food and when forest fires occur. For the last few years Burnaby Mountain area have had fires so many wildlife followed those waterways to relative safety which explains how we had bears wandering through our back laneway ripping up garbage bins and inside the big dumpsters!!!
I've lived in my apt in a major Canadian city for 4 years. I only lock my apt door if I leave for more than 24 hours. Most my life I've never locked my doors
Same
I live in northern Ontario, Canada and people often leave their vehicles running while grocery shopping in the winter.
Same with logging trucks and transport trucks
Please please please react to some arrogant worms songs!
They make patriotic Canadian comedy songs
Absolute pride and joy :D
