Over time we slowly heat up! Naturally raising our outer body temperature and burning slightly more fat. The 10* rolls around and suddenly you want to sun bathe in the "cold" air of the 10* day.
It's not that they forget how to drive in winter conditions. It's that still have their summer tires on or their tires are bald. The reason it only lasts a month is by then they have either changed their tires or they no longer have a car to drive.
@@Kate.g. It depends on where you are. In Vancouver, a snowy winter is generally pretty rare. We get one every once in a while, but typically our winters are pretty mild. So when an icy/snowy winter happens, many of our citizens have forgotten how to drive in the ice and snow. Then there's our huge Asian immigrants population, many of them from tropical/warm climates like The Philippines, India, Pakistan, and Thailand. These people have never even seen snow, except for maybe on TV and in books. They certainly never had any practical experience dealing with the snow and ice. The mere sight of white flakes gently falling from the sky might even be confusing to some of them. So it's understandable that they wouldn't know how to drive in the snow and ice. And ironically, they tend to be the ones who get jobs that require driving (bus drivers, taxi drivers, etc) making things even more complicated.
Very true. We get a lot of snow, and there is a portion of our backyard that never gets any sun. In the spring when the neighbours' lawns are already starting to grow, we still have a substantial mound of snow in that corner. I usually break it up and toss it around to thin it out.
@@chrisschack9716Not even REALLY big piles. There are spots in my back yard that don’t melt even though they aren’t huge piles but because the sun doesn’t reach those parts
But, I mean, the general principal of having “no f’k’s given” to things not under your control. It’s no worries. She”ll be right. Okay, I’ll admit, I’m half Australian. Dry cold doesn’t penetrate.
I am British living with my Canadian wife of over 40 years in Southern England, and can identify with all of these. Been to Canada countless times, overwhelmingly in the Summer or Autumn but have spent a few Christmas’s there. I have BBQ’d in a Canadian winter. I recall last time was on a Boxing Day, 26th of December, which is recognised in both Canada and the UK, but not in the US. It was -12C at lunchtime and my wife’s uncle and I BBQ a whole Canadian Salmon, of unknown providence. But the weather wasn’t particularly cold bodily. In the UK our humidity is always high and, being an island, there is nearly always a breeze so that -12C felt like +6C in the UK. So dry and wet cold differences exist. As for being isolated. We had a grand family get together in camp on a northern Ontario lake about 10 years ago. It look 45 mins drive to the nearest grocery store. We had an 18 year old relative from New York State who was devastated by the fact there was no internet or mobile/cell phone service and that we were all subjecting her to an unwarranted and very cruel punishment. For me it was bliss being cut off from the rest of the world. While recognising the welcoming differences between the UK and Canada, there are huge similarities, particularly in manners and customs. If I did accidentally stepped on someone’s foot while walking around central London and was punched or shot, and was asked by the police afterwards who did it, I could safely say that it definitely wasn’t a Canadian because they didn’t apologise.
do not understand why people think summer is bbq months. the smell of a bbq in winter is the best as you can smell on the cool winter breeze. also do not understand why people don’t use their bbq’s when the power is out for cooking. all you hear is people complaining they need to order food in. we bbq all year.
@@therealhotdogneed to keep the propane tank warm while bbq-ing . 34 years in Fort McMurray- 40 Got it down to a science. The original “winter is coming “
As a Nova Scotia, winters felt colder than they were as it was a wet cold which made you feel cold into your bones even at -10c. When I moved to Calgary, I discovered what dry cold is but you really need to be careful with dry cold as you can get frost bite easier.
ha ha.. just posted.. for me it was Halifax to Edmonton.. I'll take a sunny -40C Edmonton day over a windy -10C Halifax day.. it's so moist even at -10 you end up growing ice out the back of your head (assuming you are walking into it).. Halifax is a great place if you want seasonal affective disorder. haha though.. to be fair.. the inability to build a snow man in Edmonton MOST of the time.. is kind of disappointing.. plus.. Halifax never had what I call 'styrosnow'.. where it's so cold and dry walking on powder snow sounds like rubbing styrofoam blocks together. :)
We're not saying "Sorry" to say: "I'm acknowledging that you bumped into me, and that's OK." We're saying "Sorry" to say: "Oh, jeez, was I in your way? Sorry."
A guide to celsius for Americans: Below -30C: Frozen hellscape; don't go outside. Any exposed skin is at risk of rapid onset frostbite. Frostbite can also develop on skin protected by low-quality winter clothing over short periods. -30C: An exceptionally cold winter day, needs very heavy winter clothing, nearly all skin should be covered. Frostbite can occur on skin protected by low quality winter gear over moderate periods. -20C: A cold winter day. Needs heavy winter clothing. Some exposed skin is fine, but only briefly or in necessary areas like around the eyes and face. Frostbite can occur on skin protected by low quality winter gear over extended periods. -10C: A typical, brisk winter day. Needs usual winter clothing. Some exposed skin is fine for a bit as long as you are monitoring it. Exposed skin unlikely to get frostbite. 0C: A warm-ish spring day or a cold autumn day. Just a coat, maybe a hat, will suffice. Exposed skin can get chilly, but damage is unlikely. 10C: A warm spring day or a cool autumn day. A sweater/light jacket is typical. Exposed skin is fine indefinitely but might be slightly uncomfortable over extended periods. 20C: A warm autumn/spring day or a cooler summer day. A T shirt and jeans/shorts would be typical. Exposed skin is fine indefinitely. Close to typical room temperature. 30C: A hot summer day. T shirts or tanks and shorts are expected. Exposed skin is necessary to maintain comfortable cooling. A great day for the beach. Over 30C: An exceptionally hot summer day. Many areas will issue heat warnings. Minimal clothing with a lot of exposed skin is required to maintain bearable coolness. Cars may be dangerous to get into due to scalding surfaces.
I agree with @rhondahoughton790Canada that this is a perfect description, tho I would like to further assist our American cousins with the following, when looking at temperature differentials, keep in mind you need to double (well 1.8x is almost double, so close enough) the difference.. so from say -20 to 0, we have a 20C difference, that'd be like jumping 40F south of the border (well ok ok, 36, but like I said close enough). So ya when we come out of winter temps into the positive numbers like 10C it 'feels' downright balmy, at least for the first few minutes. For completeness that 10C is 50F, so ya not really warm, but by Canadian standards, definitely not cold either.
You are mistaken. Tyler had it wrong. It is not passive-aggressive but truly apologetic. As Canadians, we value common courtesy and getting along with your fellow human beings as much as Americans value their personal independence and right to bear arms.
@@lyndamuller2025 It's passive aggressive. *every* Canadian talks shit about Americans when there's no Americans around, and we all have Stupid American stories, just like we all have "I thought it was a stupid american but it turns out he was right" stories.
Amen. I am from Saskatchewan and we have dry cold. It is way less bone chilling than the wet cold in Vancouver or Toronto. It doesn’t get deep in your bones.
I moved from the Island where it seldom snows but is always damp to Toronto for school, and stayed because the dry cold meant I had fewer cases of bronchitis or pneumonia each year. Loved the west coast, but my lungs did not.
I moved from Halifax to Edmonton.. I actually ended up liking -40C over -5C with the traditional Halifax sleet every other day.. I have NEVER BEEN SO COLD TO MY BONES as salty Halifax wet cold. hehe
Absolutely. I moved from Northeastern Ontario to Southern Ontario for university & discovered that in Southern Ontario where it is much more humid, -20°C felt a whole lot colder than -20°C in a drier climate.
The point made about being able to be somewhere miles and miles from civilisation, was once humorously commented upon in geography class by my then 10-yr old grandson in North Van. "It's easy. Just drive 90 minutes south from here. Pass the Peace Arch and, shazam, there's no civilisation." 😅
17:45 - You can own as many guns as you want in Canada, can sell them or buy them privately or through a dealer, you can shoot anywhere on crown land, hunting, targets, whatever you want. Canada is the 7th most armed nation on earth, hunting is extremely popular country-wide, we just have much tighter regulations on what type of guns you can own, and what modifications can be done to them. Gun culture isn't the same here as in the USA. In Canada, most guns are tools for hunting, and protection from wildlife, they are treated like a tool more than something we hold pride of ownership in. In the USA gun culture is much different, guns are viewed as a right and part of people's core identities in some cases. It's more of a hobby, and yes there are jackasses that say they have guns for "self defense" but do you really need a gun for self defense in the suburbs? lol
How far the 'You can own ...' needs to be clarified a bit here.. in the US the 2nd amendment, is often interpreted as meaning that US citizens have a 'Right' (some go further as stating unrestricted/unregulated right) to own gun(s). In Canada you *can* indeed own a gun, provided you have the proper license, the PAL (Possession and Acquisition Licence), and there are steps (akin to how one goes thru steps to get a driver's license) that need to be followed to *get* that license. If your an American visiting Canada, and intend to *use* firearms here, you should definitely acquaint yourself with the Canadian laws on the matter first, just because you have a 'right-to-carry' in the states, doesn't mean you can cross the border with your gun/rifle whatever, you'll have to declare what you have, some of what you have may not even be legal here, and if you fail to declare those weapons, well you've just bought yourself a fair bit of legal trouble (and since this all falls under criminal law here, huh ya, you don't want to mess with this). A bit of wikipedia surfing on guns in Canada will put you on the right track of what you need to be looking out for, but for sure have a look at official Canadian websites, those articles point to, before making the trip. The short of it tho, if the weapons you bring with you fall in the category of 'allowable', you can usually obtain a (60-day) temporary license (visit the Canada Border Service Agency and make your way to the 'Importing Firearms for personal use' section), that license only applies to your own declared weapons tho, it won't permit you to carry/use a borrowed firearm (even if the lender actually has a license for it). Finally I'd add, on the 'can shoot...' portion of the comment.. yes but, again from an American perspective, that is a fair bit more restrictive here, do not count on anything even close to 'stand-your-ground' or even 'right of self-defense' .. those notions don't exist here, heck even a properly licensed Canadian gun owner, can't use this as a defense in a home-invasion situation (that's an entirely different topic, but let's just say it's way legally very different here than in the US, in many ways it's closer to how things are done in the UK, well except for the 'guns' part of it).
Whoa. Long responses. But basically Canadians still have guns. They're just more chill. And it's not a political statement like in the US. And it's never for self defense. That's what the RCMP are for.
There's more than 3x as many Canadians with firearm licenses as Canadians in registered hockey leagues. People who say Canadians hate guns are provably ignorant
As a Canadian I know plenty of Canadians that own guns. They never talk about them and it’s not some passion that they think they will be taken from them and it isn’t a bad we use to feel “free.” Unless you go on a hunting trip or into the woods with a Canadian you’d never know they owned a gun. We are obsessed. It isn’t attached to freedom. We don’t feel unsafe without them.
The only time the American scale is useful and even then not by much just learn below and above freezing stop saying it’s 102 outside like I’m not checking temp with my over am i
Canada and the US Land mass Canada = 9.9 million km² Land mass USA = 9.1 million km² Population Canada = 38 million Population USA = 333 million It only makes sense that we would have more wide open spaces
it's sort of comparable.. however.. since a great percentage of this Canadian land mass.. is uninhabitable without infrastructure or even roads. Where a greater portion of the United States is habitable with services.. this of course is related to WHY canada has 10x less people.. had we the resources.. tropical biomes.. subtropical biomes.. etc.. we'd likely be in the hundreds of millions also.. We mostly have more wide open spaces because most of it is uninhabitable. haha
@@ioncladstudio2688it’s not uninhabitable, we just don’t live everywhere plus we respect are land a lot so a lot of it we just don’t want too destroy for living but most of Canada is habitable not uninhabitable do some research next time bucky
Ignoring the portions of Canada without much topsoil (it's not the weather, but the lack of dirt) we still have as much space as Ukraine. The USA has triple that, and 9 times the people. We are underpopulated, and also have vast, vast areas of wilderness that can't support agriculture, notably most of Northern Ontario and Quebec. The guy saying "illegals" is not only wrong but also downright anti-Canadian and if he lives here should consider whether he should. It's not the immigrants who don't fit in, sir.
@@tristanridley1601 If they entered the Country Illegally, they are Illegals, sorry if that wrecks your Liberal world view but its a fact, If I enter the USA illegally im an Illegal in the USA, thats just how it works! I never mentioned Legal Immigrants.
Yes! The only time I really miss living on the Sunshine Coast with it's wet cold is in early spring; when we here in Saskatchewan are still walking in snow
Here is an example of gun laws between USA and Canada: In the USA, I could buy a gun, even though my mental state and seizure disorder is not good.. and I would NOT be questioned about it. In Canada, I must take a course in how to handle and care for a gun, AND be cleared by my psychiatrist that I haven't had any serious mental problems for the last 5 years. With the need to be cleared by my shrink, I would NOT qualify to own a gun.
Yes we learn French in school…I did from grade 2-12. Newfoundland….check out some shows maybe based in Newfoundland. It’s not just an accent. I’ve lived in both dry and humid cold. Humidity is definitely bone chilling, however I do tend to believe that once you hit a certain low temperature, cold is cold. I experienced -55C and it’s so cold that you have icicle eyelashes, frozen hair and a scarf over your face in order to breathe. Just not fun!
Canadian Tire money IS real money - at Canadian Tire and any other businesses that accept it. Even a few charities have accepted it as donations, because it means they can go to Canadian Tire and buy what they need for supplies. It's no good at most businesses or the bank, though.
We actually move the BBQ closer to the back/kitchen/patio door at home when the weather gets really cold so you can just scoot out and flip the burgers, check the chicken etc and run back in the house! A little snow just can't get in the way or we'd have to wait 5 months for BBQ again.
BBQ in shorts/tshirt - you just don't stay around your BBQ while it's grilling, you go back inside - the 2-3mins you spend outside isnt worth the hassle to get the winter coat and boots , so you just soldier on outside and do your BBQing . i will put on an extra layer if it's particularly cold (under -15c (5f) or colder)
A dry cold is out in the prairies, low humidity. In Ontario we have a damp cold. Chills you more than a dry cold even at same temp. Yes we use the term.
Yeah, it's the same idea as wet or dry heat. I grew up in the Okanagan which is very humid, and those summer days were disgusting; you can't get away from the heat! I've heard Toronto in particular has awful humidity.
Canadian Tire Money is very simple: It's a customer loyalty program just like virtually every big store has these days. The 'money' is your points. Until recently they used paper bills because it started in the 1950s. There was no practical way for *every* customer to have their own account with the store and the tills weren't computers that could look up a customer account just by waving a card in front of it. The paper bills solved both problems: if you had a bill, you could spend it as a $X.XX off coupon. It was great; you could use as many of these 'coupons' as you wanted, and they were even transferrable to other people if you wanted to give them as a gift.
Tyler, at least here in NS when I was young, we HAD to take French in school, at least for a few years, in elementary school. I took it from grade 3 to 12..I could manage to converse if I had to lol
Tyler the answer you seek; Acclimating to the weather! You have to freeze a bit in the fall and just buck it out. Dress cooler and get used to the cold early, waylay the use of parka, heavy wools, boots, etc. You have to freeze a bit but you’ll survive the winter cold with grace. If you don’t acclimate, then you can’t survive when it’s -40. I see people wearing winter jackets and toques when it’s only 5 degrees Celsius right now in northern Canada. if you acclimate properly then 5 degrees in February is basically summer weather, t shirts and shorts are totally acceptable. If you don’t acclimate, then you really do suffer in the winter. To everyone wearing their parkas, toques and mitts in October-you obviously didn’t grow up here and those mitts, toques and parkas aren’t going to help when it’s -50 when you’re used to wearing winter clothes at 5 degrees…good way to die in northern Canada. You only bust out the winter gear when it’s ACTUALLY winter ie -15 and below. -10 is still great weather.
The gun thing in the US always confused me . We have a gun in our house , but its not for protection .... half the time we don't even lock our doors .What are yous all so gall darned scared of anyways ?? Ours is for hunting . My husband just shot a moose with it last Monday , oh and by the way, he's in a wheelchair ...Yea By' !!!! Had a big scoff a moose meat . Some good :) Loves ye Tyler
I make maple syrup. It's the sap from Maple Trees. it can take anywhere from 20 to 100 gallons of raw maple sap to make 1 gallon of pure maple syrup, depending on the sugar content of the sap. It's boiled and reduced down which is quite a long process if you are just doing it at home. Collecting the sap every day straining it clean of any debris like leaves or bark etc, then boiling it down and adding it to your jars. It's weeks before the process is done. Then we save some at the end to reduce down even more to make maple taffy. It's poured out onto nice clean fresh snow, then rolled onto a popsicle stick so it's like a maple taffy sucker. It's what the kids always look forward to no matter how old they get. 😊 And it's the best syrup you will ever have 😊
Our bodies adjust to temperature gradually through the seasons. It’s true! In the fall when it’s 10C/50F , it’s a shock after a summer of 30C/86F. It’s all relative, so that by spring, after a winter of -15C you’ve gotten used to 10C and it feels balmy.
Newfoundland English has a lot of Irish Gaelic - some words no one else understands. Quebec French has a lot of old French expressions & accents ---- and some poor English Canadians get "French from France" lessons, come to Quebec and can't communicate.
TYLER. Damp and dry cold. Those who live near big bodies of water, Atlantic, Great Lakes. They get the damp cold. it seeps right into your bones. I'm in Alberta. We get dry cold. It's cold but it doesn't seep into your very soul! I'd much rather -45C with dry to -25C damp!
In America we don't think about the winter much... As a Canadian I just did the annual winter prep shopping. Salt, a new snow shovel, pantry food that can be cooked on the gas stove or BBQ in case we lose power. Got the snow tires put on and pulled out the "winter clothes". We always stock up early because once the snow hits, even if you can get out, your tire store or mechanic is booked solid, you can't find a decent shovel and salt is on "back order" and will arrive a week after the snowstorm passes.
They're not. While I don't know the specific of all the laws regarding guns in Canada, there are essentially 3 categories of firearms. Unrestricted, Restricted, and Prohibited While the PAL (Possession and Acquisition License) would allow you to own/transport (within Canada) the weapons in the first 2 categories, it most definitely does not cover the Prohibited category, and the AK-47 falls in that one. And the only (somewhat reasonable) hunting one would do with an AK-47 are a 'bunch' of other humans (or if you're into sci-fi territory, space-alien invaders) but huh, ya the word 'reasonable' does quite a bit of heavy lifting there.😉
@@michelderosa2695as an rpal holder, you're pretty much bang on One correction... A PAL is for non restricted firearms, an RPAL - restricted possession and acquisition license - is for restricted firearms and for prohibited firearms you would have an endorsement added to your license To add some info Any firearm in the non restricted category is legal to hunt with. Firearms in the restricted category, while perfectly capable of hunting, cannot be used outside of a legal range so therefore illegal to hunt with. Prohibited firearms, owned by those grandfathered into their ownership, the military, movie studios and museums, fall into two groups, one that means you aren't allowed to take out of your home and another that allows range usage. Neither can be used for hunting even though SOME may be perfectly suitable. Regarding the suitability of an ak47 for hunting... It's not as absurd as you'd think. The cartridge they use is 7.62x39, the 7.62 is the metric size of 30 calibre which is likely the most common bullet used for hunting in Canada (centre fire guns... For rimfire and probably overall it's 22lr which are used for grouse and rabbit etc) 303, 308, 30-06 are common hunting rounds for everything up to moose and they're all 30 calibre The 39 in 7.62x39 is the length of the brass casing... The larger it is, the more gunpowder that can fit. For a 308 the nato designation is 7.62x51 which means it can hold more gunpowder and is therefore more powerful. An ak47 round is perfectly acceptable for hunting out to 200 yards up to medium large deer and 100 yards for moose. For accuracy, they can shoot multiple rounds within a 3" circle at 100 yards. So while not great, is fine. Now, if you're talking about rate of fire... They have selectable fire which means semi auto and full auto. While I fully agree that there is no place in hunting for full auto, SEMI auto - meaning one bullet per trigger pull, full auto is ALL the bullets per trigger pull - is commonly used for hunting. Not only does it allow for a faster secondary shot, but it lessens the recoil which means you can more comfortably use a larger calibre which could mean a more humane harvest. If it hurts to fire you can develop a flinch which affects your accuracy. The SKS rifle, which is likely the most common centre fire rifle in Canada, is essentially the precursor to the ak 47. They are similar in design and use the exact same cartridge (aka round and incorrectly called bullet by many). The key difference? The sks is semi auto ONLY. Also, due to its low price (historically) they've been used on hunts for decades. From what I've heard, they're particularly common with native hunters. As long as only semi auto is used, there would be absolutely nothing wrong with hunting with an ak47 (if legal) Just fyi, firearms with full auto were prohibited in bill c71 back in 1977/78. Since that time, all assault rifles, of which an ak47 qualifies, were prohibited per the technical definition.
Back in the day, we used to ask people if they needed anything at the "In and Out Store".. In and Out Store was also known as The Beer Store. And yes, I am Canadian. 😂
Preparing for true winter is a big job . On the prairies, people still put storm windows on if they have older homes. You need to make sure your shovel is at the ready in case you wake up one morning to 2 feet of snow blocking the doors and sidewalks. Make sure your winter coat or parka are hanging in the closet ready to go. Your boots, your scarf, your earmuffs or your toque. your gloves or mittens , 2 sweaters to wear under your coat and away you go lol
it's not "freezing" cold, is the point. it's cold if you're accustomed to keeping yourself toasty warm but if you just head out there, it's lovely! i'm speaking as one who's worn sweaters as winter coats for 4 years running, now. you CANNOT drive for a day straight! you'll end up nose-down in a ditch. it takes 20h 17m to drive from Niagara Falls, Ontario, to Kenora, Ontario, which is on the border to Manitoba, the province next door! dry cold - it can be -22C and you can walk around in a t-shirt without too much bother as long as you're wearing gloves, a scarf, and a hat. damp cold - -5C and no matter what, you can't warm up. you need a hot tub. the closest american equivalent to Newfie English would be New Orleans dialect. we use "oh, sorry!" for everything from "my apologies for my foot getting in your way" to "bless your heart". maple syrup: you know you've boiled it down enough when the wallpaper falls off the walls. you like the freedom of having a gun for self-protection. we like the freedom of living somewhere where we don't need to worry about that.
We use the metric system for large units like kilometers (shortened to kliks when spoken) but when someone asks you how far something is, you'll get an answer in minutes or hours based on how long it takes to drive. Celcius is for air temperature, Frankensteins are for liquid temperature. Nobody goes "Our pool is 19C" they say "the pool is 68." For small units, we use SAE. We drive in km/h. We buy houses with 8 or 10' ceilings on lots with 50' of frontage. Body weights is either kilos or pounds. the conversion is only 2.2:1 so it's not difficult to figure out. If you're having problems with conversions, just remember your drug math.. 16oz in a pound. 454grams in a pound, 1000 grams in a kilo. Dry cold is a thing. Was working up north and it was -52C but it was dry. So it didn't feel that cold but down here in southern onterrible, -20C feels way worse and way colder than up north due to high humidity. You used to get Canadian Tire money when shopping at Canadian Tire. Now they just use points cards like everyone else does. Canadians have house hippos, our Aussie mates have drop bears. Quebecois is it's own dialect. Newfie English is Bay Wop. Takes something like 40x the sap to make 1 volume of syrup. it's a big shit. just easier to buy it from the Amish. The Tragically Hip... Perfectly named for the band. Musically not half bad, vocally absolute trash. Grossly overrated in Canada. Blue Rodeo is superior in every aspect musically. We of us that don't live in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal do love our guns.
In Canada we have seasons and when seasons start changing are Canadian bodies take that time to get acclimated, so when Winter turns to Spring any temp above zero feels warm
“The US is big too, especially east-west” - yeah, but I’ve done both.. at least down your way you can drive 60-80mph (100-130kmh), we only get 55, maybe 65 across the whole country (90-110km) - so it takes you four days to get from NYC to SF, it would take us seven to get from Montreal - Vancouver, nearly 10-11 if you’re coming from Halifax or St. John’s.. to a degree that many of us drop down into the states to use your highways to cross the continent.
When transitioning from winter into summer it's not always a steady progression, and sometimes you go very rapidly into the warm weather, even if only for a couple of days. It takes a while for large snowbanks to melt away and even if the temp is 25C there can still be snow around. I have pictures of literally sunbathing in the back yard on an outdoor lounge chair, wearing a swimsuit and sunscreen, while quite a lot of unmelted snow remained in the yard. It wasn't because I was a crazy Canadian who wanted to defy wintery conditions, it was ACTUALLY sunbathing weather that day. This crazy weather transitioning is what keeps Canadians talking about the earliest date they've ever been able to get out on the golf course, get their motorcycles on the road, or yes, even sunbathe in the backyard. 😂
With the snow pile, even when it gets warm it can take a long time for all the snow to go. So you can have it actually nice out and still have big snow piles. But then I have also run out to the wood pile (say 10 feet from our door) through the snow in bare feet in -15c
Àt canadian tire if you pay with normal money and when yo I are supposed to get your change back .. they rip you oʻoff and give you their money .. which you cannot spend anywhere ... just pay with debit lmao
So when are you coming to visit Canada, Tyler? Spend a few days in Ottawa in early February and I'll be happy to show you around and take you to the World's Largest Natural Skating Rink (7.8 km long!)
Ugh…let’s let him learn about some more good stuff, before we share our atrocities. Though, since tomorrow is the second Truth and Reconciliation day, my kids learned about it in school on Friday (something that wasn’t taught when I went in the 90’s)…and they have tomorrow off of school.
@@gregclarke2183 If you only know the good stuff then there is nothing to critique and therefore no progress is made and no way to right the wrongs. When learning the bad too, we can right the wrongs and make progress!
@@hellogoodby2316 I totally agree. My first remark was a (bad) joke. My second is showing how some of the actual reconciliation is happening…which is a really good thing.
Good idea! And while you're at it, why don't you start off by telling Tyler how the different tribes treated each other and conquered each other. Enslaved and sold each other?
@@Sylver_Echo2923 Your talking before Canada existed, I'm talking today! I see what your trying to do though, distract from how Indigenous people are treated today by Canada and instead want Indigenous people to look bad because your a bigot!
We BBQ year round. There's nothing like being outside in the cold in the dead of winter, dressed accordingly of course, and feeling and smelling the cold air. It's even more fun to smell the fresh air after a good snow fall.
About 10 years ago in Oshawa Ontario, was at my brother's place for Christmas eve dinner during a snow storm and the power went out. Dinner was only half done, so we finished cooking it on the BBQ. You gotta do what you gotta do.
In Canada because of our location and surroundings it often snows when it’s not that cold outside. One tine in the middle of a bright sunny day it started Snowing, Raining and Hailing .. after about an hour there was a couple inches of snow & hail on the ground… they had to get out the graders to clean the roads
As a Canadian, I personally do have some measure of heat and cold resistance, but I believe it is mostly that winter is long, dark, and depressing, and we will take what we can get. In some places it is still night when you wake up and go to work, and when you head home, it is night again and you missed the entire day. Every day. For months.
I BBQ all year round. In our current era Southern Ontario see's less snowfall and less accumulation than ever. We had two snowfalls that stayed on the ground for longer than a day.
The metric system is definitely easier than the imperial system considering the metric system is based on the power of ten. Imperial is all over the board. 1 cm = 10 mm, freezing point is 0 C degrees compared to 32 F, a km is 1000 m whereas a mile is 5280 feet, etc. It's much easier to divide by ten then random imperial divisions. I grew up when Canada was turning over into metric so I understand both but metric is more simplified and easier to comprehend. Also it's not unusual to see the temps at -20 C with the wind blowing and see some freak wearing a t-shirt and shorts, just as it's not unusual to see some other freaks wearing winter clothing when it's 25 C while I'm sweating my ass off in a t and shorts.
Exactly. During my wrestling days, one of the American wrestlers asked me to explain the metric system to him. I said "Simple. Just multiply everything by ten. There's ten millimeters in a centimeters. Ten centimeters in a decimeter. Ten decimeters in a meter. Ten meters in a decameter. And ten decameters in a kilometer. The tough part is remembering what the measurements are called. Once you have that figured out, everything else is just multiply or divide by ten."
@@Thundarr100even then the prefixes are all the same I’ll use meters as an example but. Quecto meter. Rontometer yoctometer zeptometer attometer femtometer picometer nanometer micrometer millimeter centimeter decimeter meter decameter hectometer kilometre (weirdly spellled like metre instead of meter in Canadian English) megameter gigameter terameter petameter exameter zettameter yottameter ronnameter quettameter. Most people don’t use deca or hecto or deco though so you can commonly use computer storage sizes to help people. Byte kilobyte megabyte gigabyte.
Any measurement less than an inch is much easier to divide in half using Imperial than Metric. Fractions are good that way. Just double the number on the bottom.
@@netgnostic1627 I beg to differ. Half of 2 cm = 1 cm. Half of 1 cm = 5 mm. Half of 5 mm = 2.5 mm. Half of 2.5 mm = 1.25 mm. Half of 1.25 mm = 0.625 mm. Trust me. I can go way further with decimals than you can with fractions.
I am wrapping up a trip through 5 provinces in Canada. BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba & Ontario. I wish I could send you a picture of Saskatchewan. Seriously, there is NOTHING but wheat, for as far as the eye can see. It encompasses 90% of that province !! If you lay down in the wheat, you would disappear! Endless skies & wheat,.... OK,... & maybe the occasional cow, too !! LoL.
6:45 Dry cold is more in the West, or wherever there are no large bodies of water (ocean or Great Lakes), so central and West, interior are dry cold, with no bodies of water to add humidity. Your body can handle a lower temp of Dry cold than wet cold such as in Atlantic Canada, the West coast doesn’t get as cold so it’d be similar, but not near as bad, they don’t often get into the negatives in South BC, or they at least rarely get any snow. Atlantic -20°, with the high humidity, feels bone chilling, -20° usually feels like -30 - 35° “with the wind chill”, which is all humid air. You need down filled coats (bird down, layer under feathers that insulates winter birds) and even then you can feel the cold seep through the stitching randomly in the wind.. it’s awful lol .. Those in Central, I have a friend in MB, regularly gets -35 - -40°c -but they can endure it longer (but with skin all covered by balaclava and hats scarfs on face etc. -to avoid frost bite - that cold, bare skin, would be in as little as 5-15 mins) but can endure much longer dressed properly, like an hour - three much easier than -20° with windchill -30 in Atlantic Canada (and I assume around the Great Lakes, but not as intense as here).. that takes 2 hours in front of a heat source, wrapped in a warm blanket, with a warm drink to get all the cold out of your bones to recover out East lol.
Dry cold is warmer and when it snows during dry cold, it produces the light fluffy snow or sometimes the crunchy snow. Definitely not the packing snow.
Gun culture and gun violence isn't as rare in Canada as people like to think. There are a lot of guns that come over the border illegally, and in BC there is a lot of gang violence and shootings. There is also a large number of people especially hunters, farmers, and sport shooters that are not happy with our government who are trying to confiscate legally purchased firearms, while not doing anything about the illegal guns coming across the border, that are responsible for the majority of crimes.
I watched your video on The Tragically hip, there's some other very good Canadian bands, like Steppenwolf, Bachman-Turner overdrive, The Guess who, Rush, and Red Rider, Tom Cochrane, and Neil Young, so much good Canadian music, one of my favorite songs of all time... This Beat goes On/ switching to glide by the Kings!! A Canadian classic!
I'm in Ontario, not the coldest province ever, but I don't start using jackets until we drop BELOW 50F, 45ish maybe, and even then it's usually a light coat. Like a wind breaker or something. I'm also not your typical Canadian though. You step on my foot you don't get a sorry, you get universal "Watch it a-hole."
The Newfie accent is akin to the Irish accent, but spoken much quicker. There is also a whole slang that is unique to them. Just as an aside, in Canada we tell "Newfie jokes", whereas in England the same jokes are told about the Irish. It's mean, I know.
Totally understand the first one. 27 C in July is hot: the same temp in October (which is rare) feels cooler. I think because it does not linger as long and night comes earlier.
All Canadian fathers bbq on the porch in the snow in flip flops and shorts. The smell of snow mixed with bbq should be bottled by a perfumer and call it “canadiana”
That’s 52 degrees Fahrenheit. My brother lives in Minnesota, his winters are bloody cold. I live on the Westcoast. We really don’t have a winter, we have a rainy season.🇨🇦
dry cold and wet cold - best explained by the difference between a Vancouver winter and an Edmonton (or any prairie) winter. ICE ICE BABY. When you are wet you feel colder than when you are dry, even in the same temperature. Brings us to part of the reason Vancouver shuts down in 1 inch of snow! lol
Dry cold is definitely better than wet cold I live on the west coast where we basically have two seasons, the rainy season and summer when you get wet or damp in the cold weather, it’s impossible to warm up. It doesn’t matter what you do. You can dress for dry dry, cold, much easier.
Elementary school kids have to learn French. It's optional in junior high and high school. In some college/university programs you need at least one language course (a friend was livid when she took a B.A. in drama in college and discovered that because she hadn't taken French in high school, she would have to take it in her first year; I'd taken French for years and was taking university-level French by that point, and tutored her several times/week at noon hour). French immersion schools exist in every province (most major and medium cities have them). At least during my time in school, we were taught Parisian French, not Quebecois French. There are some definite differences.
Same as Dry Heat and Humid Heat . ex. : 37c while having 80% humidity and 37c while having 20% humidity doesnt feel the same .. Same for coldness, the more humid, the worse it feels.
It gets so cold on the Canadian east coast in Feb that we were always told to not cry outside because it will freeze right away. For a few weeks in jan or Feb it can be -30°C
When you step into a warm place from a dry cold, you warm up right away. When you step in from a wet cold, you still "feel it in your bones" for awhile
Autumn 🍂 in Ontario, September and October is generally warm (September like summer still) So 10C is cold for that time of year. Our February here in Ontario is generally cold, when the weather goes up to 10C our snow is out still usually, so then IT’s barbecue 🍖 time!
Well Tyler... after -30 celsius, +10 celsius feels pretty damn nice!
Exactly!
👍
= -20
Over time we slowly heat up! Naturally raising our outer body temperature and burning slightly more fat.
The 10* rolls around and suddenly you want to sun bathe in the "cold" air of the 10* day.
ding ding ding ur definetly canadian if u understand that
You need the 6 foot snow pile to block the wind while you are BBQing.
Haha
The only thing that concerns me about winter every year is the idiots who forget how to drive in winter conditions for the first month.
It's not that they forget how to drive in winter conditions. It's that still have their summer tires on or their tires are bald. The reason it only lasts a month is by then they have either changed their tires or they no longer have a car to drive.
@@PaulMartin-qu5up both can be true.
@@chrisd4228it’s a mix of both every year 😅
Good job, enjoy your comments!
@@Kate.g. It depends on where you are. In Vancouver, a snowy winter is generally pretty rare. We get one every once in a while, but typically our winters are pretty mild. So when an icy/snowy winter happens, many of our citizens have forgotten how to drive in the ice and snow.
Then there's our huge Asian immigrants population, many of them from tropical/warm climates like The Philippines, India, Pakistan, and Thailand. These people have never even seen snow, except for maybe on TV and in books. They certainly never had any practical experience dealing with the snow and ice. The mere sight of white flakes gently falling from the sky might even be confusing to some of them. So it's understandable that they wouldn't know how to drive in the snow and ice. And ironically, they tend to be the ones who get jobs that require driving (bus drivers, taxi drivers, etc) making things even more complicated.
Having a six foot snow pile doesn't necessarily mean it's cold, it's just snow that has been piled up from shoveling after the previous snowfall...
True enough, those REALLY big piles from plowing will still be there in part weeks later...
But there have been enough snowfall to cover to the tops of houses.
Very true. We get a lot of snow, and there is a portion of our backyard that never gets any sun. In the spring when the neighbours' lawns are already starting to grow, we still have a substantial mound of snow in that corner. I usually break it up and toss it around to thin it out.
@@chrisschack9716Not even REALLY big piles. There are spots in my back yard that don’t melt even though they aren’t huge piles but because the sun doesn’t reach those parts
But, I mean, the general principal of having “no f’k’s given” to things not under your control. It’s no worries. She”ll be right.
Okay, I’ll admit, I’m half Australian. Dry cold doesn’t penetrate.

BBQ in winter is really nice.
Of course in the US what we call BBQ they call grilling. Don't tell a Texan you are BBQ if your grilling lol
I am British living with my Canadian wife of over 40 years in Southern England, and can identify with all of these. Been to Canada countless times, overwhelmingly in the Summer or Autumn but have spent a few Christmas’s there.
I have BBQ’d in a Canadian winter. I recall last time was on a Boxing Day, 26th of December, which is recognised in both Canada and the UK, but not in the US. It was -12C at lunchtime and my wife’s uncle and I BBQ a whole Canadian Salmon, of unknown providence.
But the weather wasn’t particularly cold bodily. In the UK our humidity is always high and, being an island, there is nearly always a breeze so that -12C felt like +6C in the UK. So dry and wet cold differences exist.
As for being isolated. We had a grand family get together in camp on a northern Ontario lake about 10 years ago. It look 45 mins drive to the nearest grocery store.
We had an 18 year old relative from New York State who was devastated by the fact there was no internet or mobile/cell phone service and that we were all subjecting her to an unwarranted and very cruel punishment. For me it was bliss being cut off from the rest of the world.
While recognising the welcoming differences between the UK and Canada, there are huge similarities, particularly in manners and customs. If I did accidentally stepped on someone’s foot while walking around central London and was punched or shot, and was asked by the police afterwards who did it, I could safely say that it definitely wasn’t a Canadian because they didn’t apologise.
D'Accord !!! 👍 So true!
do not understand why people think summer is bbq months. the smell of a bbq in winter is the best as you can smell on the cool winter breeze. also do not understand why people don’t use their bbq’s when the power is out for cooking. all you hear is people complaining they need to order food in. we bbq all year.
@@montrose699 Texans can worry about their own cooking and us Canadians will call it whatever we want.
Growing up, my dad would stand on the deck in a snow storm wearing shorts drinking his beer while barbequeing, and he still does it

As a Nova Scotia, winters felt colder than they were as it was a wet cold which made you feel cold into your bones even at -10c. When I moved to Calgary, I discovered what dry cold is but you really need to be careful with dry cold as you can get frost bite easier.
Oh yeah! I remember my first shower in Calgary. My skin felt itchy because you dry off extremely well!
Exactly! The damp wet cold out here in Vancouver is gross at -2! But I’ve experienced the extreme cold where it’s dry. Totally different!
ha ha.. just posted.. for me it was Halifax to Edmonton.. I'll take a sunny -40C Edmonton day over a windy -10C Halifax day.. it's so moist even at -10 you end up growing ice out the back of your head (assuming you are walking into it).. Halifax is a great place if you want seasonal affective disorder. haha though.. to be fair.. the inability to build a snow man in Edmonton MOST of the time.. is kind of disappointing.. plus.. Halifax never had what I call 'styrosnow'.. where it's so cold and dry walking on powder snow sounds like rubbing styrofoam blocks together. :)
We're not saying "Sorry" to say: "I'm acknowledging that you bumped into me, and that's OK."

There is France French, Quebec French, and Prairie French

A guide to celsius for Americans:
Below -30C: Frozen hellscape; don't go outside. Any exposed skin is at risk of rapid onset frostbite. Frostbite can also develop on skin protected by low-quality winter clothing over short periods.
-30C: An exceptionally cold winter day, needs very heavy winter clothing, nearly all skin should be covered. Frostbite can occur on skin protected by low quality winter gear over moderate periods.
-20C: A cold winter day. Needs heavy winter clothing. Some exposed skin is fine, but only briefly or in necessary areas like around the eyes and face. Frostbite can occur on skin protected by low quality winter gear over extended periods.
-10C: A typical, brisk winter day. Needs usual winter clothing. Some exposed skin is fine for a bit as long as you are monitoring it. Exposed skin unlikely to get frostbite.
0C: A warm-ish spring day or a cold autumn day. Just a coat, maybe a hat, will suffice. Exposed skin can get chilly, but damage is unlikely.
10C: A warm spring day or a cool autumn day. A sweater/light jacket is typical. Exposed skin is fine indefinitely but might be slightly uncomfortable over extended periods.
20C: A warm autumn/spring day or a cooler summer day. A T shirt and jeans/shorts would be typical. Exposed skin is fine indefinitely. Close to typical room temperature.
30C: A hot summer day. T shirts or tanks and shorts are expected. Exposed skin is necessary to maintain comfortable cooling. A great day for the beach.
Over 30C: An exceptionally hot summer day. Many areas will issue heat warnings. Minimal clothing with a lot of exposed skin is required to maintain bearable coolness. Cars may be dangerous to get into due to scalding surfaces.
Perfect description! ❤
I agree with @rhondahoughton790Canada that this is a perfect description, tho I would like to further assist our American cousins with the following, when looking at temperature differentials, keep in mind you need to double (well 1.8x is almost double, so close enough) the difference.. so from say -20 to 0, we have a 20C difference, that'd be like jumping 40F south of the border (well ok ok, 36, but like I said close enough). So ya when we come out of winter temps into the positive numbers like 10C it 'feels' downright balmy, at least for the first few minutes. For completeness that 10C is 50F, so ya not really warm, but by Canadian standards, definitely not cold either.
True
Love love that. Canadian from GTA
ofc we WILL go outside at -30c if we need or we will still do it because… i mean, why not? 🤷🏼

I moved from Vancouver to the Yukon,a dry -20 is better than a wet -2
Amen. I am from Saskatchewan and we have dry cold. It is way less bone chilling than the wet cold in Vancouver or Toronto. It doesn’t get deep in your bones.
I moved from the Island where it seldom snows but is always damp to Toronto for school, and stayed because the dry cold meant I had fewer cases of bronchitis or pneumonia each year. Loved the west coast, but my lungs did not.
I moved from Halifax to Edmonton.. I actually ended up liking -40C over -5C with the traditional Halifax sleet every other day.. I have NEVER BEEN SO COLD TO MY BONES as salty Halifax wet cold. hehe
Absolutely. I moved from Northeastern Ontario to Southern Ontario for university & discovered that in Southern Ontario where it is much more humid, -20°C felt a whole lot colder than -20°C in a drier climate.
Yes, I’m a transplant from Vancouver to Prince George and I agree.
The point made about being able to be somewhere miles and miles from civilisation, was once humorously commented upon in geography class by my then 10-yr old grandson in North Van. "It's easy. Just drive 90 minutes south from here. Pass the Peace Arch and, shazam, there's no civilisation." 😅

17:45 - You can own as many guns as you want in Canada, can sell them or buy them privately or through a dealer, you can shoot anywhere on crown land, hunting, targets, whatever you want. Canada is the 7th most armed nation on earth, hunting is extremely popular country-wide, we just have much tighter regulations on what type of guns you can own, and what modifications can be done to them. Gun culture isn't the same here as in the USA. In Canada, most guns are tools for hunting, and protection from wildlife, they are treated like a tool more than something we hold pride of ownership in. In the USA gun culture is much different, guns are viewed as a right and part of people's core identities in some cases. It's more of a hobby, and yes there are jackasses that say they have guns for "self defense" but do you really need a gun for self defense in the suburbs? lol
How far the 'You can own ...' needs to be clarified a bit here.. in the US the 2nd amendment, is often interpreted as meaning that US citizens have a 'Right' (some go further as stating unrestricted/unregulated right) to own gun(s). In Canada you *can* indeed own a gun, provided you have the proper license, the PAL (Possession and Acquisition Licence), and there are steps (akin to how one goes thru steps to get a driver's license) that need to be followed to *get* that license. If your an American visiting Canada, and intend to *use* firearms here, you should definitely acquaint yourself with the Canadian laws on the matter first, just because you have a 'right-to-carry' in the states, doesn't mean you can cross the border with your gun/rifle whatever, you'll have to declare what you have, some of what you have may not even be legal here, and if you fail to declare those weapons, well you've just bought yourself a fair bit of legal trouble (and since this all falls under criminal law here, huh ya, you don't want to mess with this). A bit of wikipedia surfing on guns in Canada will put you on the right track of what you need to be looking out for, but for sure have a look at official Canadian websites, those articles point to, before making the trip. The short of it tho, if the weapons you bring with you fall in the category of 'allowable', you can usually obtain a (60-day) temporary license (visit the Canada Border Service Agency and make your way to the 'Importing Firearms for personal use' section), that license only applies to your own declared weapons tho, it won't permit you to carry/use a borrowed firearm (even if the lender actually has a license for it).
Finally I'd add, on the 'can shoot...' portion of the comment.. yes but, again from an American perspective, that is a fair bit more restrictive here, do not count on anything even close to 'stand-your-ground' or even 'right of self-defense' .. those notions don't exist here, heck even a properly licensed Canadian gun owner, can't use this as a defense in a home-invasion situation (that's an entirely different topic, but let's just say it's way legally very different here than in the US, in many ways it's closer to how things are done in the UK, well except for the 'guns' part of it).
Definately
Whoa. Long responses. But basically Canadians still have guns. They're just more chill. And it's not a political statement like in the US. And it's never for self defense. That's what the RCMP are for.
There's more than 3x as many Canadians with firearm licenses as Canadians in registered hockey leagues.
People who say Canadians hate guns are provably ignorant
As a Canadian I know plenty of Canadians that own guns. They never talk about them and it’s not some passion that they think they will be taken from them and it isn’t a bad we use to feel “free.” Unless you go on a hunting trip or into the woods with a Canadian you’d never know they owned a gun. We are obsessed. It isn’t attached to freedom. We don’t feel unsafe without them.
The word "sorry"" can also be used as "excuse me" when trying to slide by someone in a tight space.
On the topic of temperature, -40°C is -40°F.
The only time the American scale is useful and even then not by much just learn below and above freezing stop saying it’s 102 outside like I’m not checking temp with my over am i
Canada and the US
Land mass Canada = 9.9 million km²
Land mass USA = 9.1 million km²
Population Canada = 38 million
Population USA = 333 million
It only makes sense that we would have more wide open spaces
Canada's Population is closer to 42million (100K-500K illegals), the Us is closer to 340million (22million illegals). the world has crossed 8 billion.
it's sort of comparable.. however.. since a great percentage of this Canadian land mass.. is uninhabitable without infrastructure or even roads. Where a greater portion of the United States is habitable with services.. this of course is related to WHY canada has 10x less people.. had we the resources.. tropical biomes.. subtropical biomes.. etc.. we'd likely be in the hundreds of millions also.. We mostly have more wide open spaces because most of it is uninhabitable. haha
@@ioncladstudio2688it’s not uninhabitable, we just don’t live everywhere plus we respect are land a lot so a lot of it we just don’t want too destroy for living but most of Canada is habitable not uninhabitable do some research next time bucky
Ignoring the portions of Canada without much topsoil (it's not the weather, but the lack of dirt) we still have as much space as Ukraine. The USA has triple that, and 9 times the people. We are underpopulated, and also have vast, vast areas of wilderness that can't support agriculture, notably most of Northern Ontario and Quebec.

Because the air in Autumn is much more wet, Winter tends to be somewhat drier, so a 10 degrees wet Fall is colder than 10 degrees in a dry Winter..
Temperature is relative....being cold for a short time ...to go out to BBQ is not worth a coat...you'll survive
The annual Victoria Flower Count. This happens every year in early spring to brag to the rest of Canada how beautiful and glorious Island life is.
Yes! The only time I really miss living on the Sunshine Coast with it's wet cold is in early spring; when we here in Saskatchewan are still walking in snow
Here is an example of gun laws between USA and Canada: In the USA, I could buy a gun, even though my mental state and seizure disorder is not good.. and I would NOT be questioned about it. In Canada, I must take a course in how to handle and care for a gun, AND be cleared by my psychiatrist that I haven't had any serious mental problems for the last 5 years. With the need to be cleared by my shrink, I would NOT qualify to own a gun.

Yes we learn French in school…I did from grade 2-12. Newfoundland….check out some shows maybe based in Newfoundland. It’s not just an accent. I’ve lived in both dry and humid cold. Humidity is definitely bone chilling, however I do tend to believe that once you hit a certain low temperature, cold is cold. I experienced -55C and it’s so cold that you have icicle eyelashes, frozen hair and a scarf over your face in order to breathe. Just not fun!
Canadian Tire money IS real money - at Canadian Tire and any other businesses that accept it. Even a few charities have accepted it as donations, because it means they can go to Canadian Tire and buy what they need for supplies.
It's no good at most businesses or the bank, though.
A local beer and wine store took up to 5.00 per purchase
We actually move the BBQ closer to the back/kitchen/patio door at home when the weather gets really cold so you can just scoot out and flip the burgers, check the chicken etc and run back in the house! A little snow just can't get in the way or we'd have to wait 5 months for BBQ again.
BBQ in shorts/tshirt - you just don't stay around your BBQ while it's grilling, you go back inside - the 2-3mins you spend outside isnt worth the hassle to get the winter coat and boots , so you just soldier on outside and do your BBQing . i will put on an extra layer if it's particularly cold (under -15c (5f) or colder)
A dry cold is out in the prairies, low humidity. In Ontario we have a damp cold. Chills you more than a dry cold even at same temp. Yes we use the term.
Yeah, it's the same idea as wet or dry heat. I grew up in the Okanagan which is very humid, and those summer days were disgusting; you can't get away from the heat! I've heard Toronto in particular has awful humidity.
Canadian Tire Money is very simple: It's a customer loyalty program just like virtually every big store has these days. The 'money' is your points. Until recently they used paper bills because it started in the 1950s. There was no practical way for *every* customer to have their own account with the store and the tills weren't computers that could look up a customer account just by waving a card in front of it. The paper bills solved both problems: if you had a bill, you could spend it as a $X.XX off coupon. It was great; you could use as many of these 'coupons' as you wanted, and they were even transferrable to other people if you wanted to give them as a gift.
I knew someone who traded about $100 worth of Canadian Tire money for an eighth of pot which was worth about $50 at the time.

Tyler, at least here in NS when I was young, we HAD to take French in school, at least for a few years, in elementary school. I took it from grade 3 to 12..I could manage to converse if I had to lol
Tyler the answer you seek; Acclimating to the weather! You have to freeze a bit in the fall and just buck it out. Dress cooler and get used to the cold early, waylay the use of parka, heavy wools, boots, etc. You have to freeze a bit but you’ll survive the winter cold with grace. If you don’t acclimate, then you can’t survive when it’s -40. I see people wearing winter jackets and toques when it’s only 5 degrees Celsius right now in northern Canada. if you acclimate properly then 5 degrees in February is basically summer weather, t shirts and shorts are totally acceptable. If you don’t acclimate, then you really do suffer in the winter. To everyone wearing their parkas, toques and mitts in October-you obviously didn’t grow up here and those mitts, toques and parkas aren’t going to help when it’s -50 when you’re used to wearing winter clothes at 5 degrees…good way to die in northern Canada. You only bust out the winter gear when it’s ACTUALLY winter ie -15 and below. -10 is still great weather.
I'd rather -20 dry cold then +10 damp cold 🤔
Dry cold touches you on the surface and is gone when you're back in a warm space; wet cold seeps deep down into your bones and lingers FOREVER...
The gun thing in the US always confused me . We have a gun in our house , but its not for protection .... half the time we don't even lock our doors .What are yous all so gall darned scared of anyways ?? Ours is for hunting . My husband just shot a moose with it last Monday , oh and by the way, he's in a wheelchair ...Yea By' !!!! Had a big scoff a moose meat . Some good :) Loves ye Tyler
I love how Tyler can say Newfoundland correctly every time now, but still struggles with Alberta.
Plus 10 with no wind and sun is AMAZING. I love the feeling of crisp air and and the warmth of the sun. It’s like therapy
"It's cold out, I'm going inside" is basically my motto too, and I live in Northern-ish Canada lol, I get you!
I make maple syrup. It's the sap from Maple Trees. it can take anywhere from 20 to 100 gallons of raw maple sap to make 1 gallon of pure maple syrup, depending on the sugar content of the sap. It's boiled and reduced down which is quite a long process if you are just doing it at home. Collecting the sap every day straining it clean of any debris like leaves or bark etc, then boiling it down and adding it to your jars. It's weeks before the process is done. Then we save some at the end to reduce down even more to make maple taffy. It's poured out onto nice clean fresh snow, then rolled onto a popsicle stick so it's like a maple taffy sucker. It's what the kids always look forward to no matter how old they get. 😊 And it's the best syrup you will ever have 😊
Our bodies adjust to temperature gradually through the seasons. It’s true! In the fall when it’s 10C/50F , it’s a shock after a summer of 30C/86F. It’s all relative, so that by spring, after a winter of -15C you’ve gotten used to 10C and it feels balmy.
Newfoundland English has a lot of Irish Gaelic - some words no one else understands. Quebec French has a lot of old French expressions & accents ---- and some poor English Canadians get "French from France" lessons, come to Quebec and can't communicate.
Maple cookies
Yummy
My favorite!❤❤❤
❤❤❤Damn now I want Dare Maple 🍪.

Addictive
Dry cold = when your nostrils stick together 😅
Like BBQ. Not going to be outside for very long. Go inside between flips.
Maple Syrup is also made in the New England states (and some states further south).
True and as good. But 80% of the world's production in made in Quebec...
We have a few places down here in The States (Ohio) where we make maple syrup.
@@thegreypath1777 Did not know that. Thanks for the info!
Also a few craft syrup makers here in Saskatchewan
TYLER. Damp and dry cold. Those who live near big bodies of water, Atlantic, Great Lakes. They get the damp cold. it seeps right into your bones. I'm in Alberta. We get dry cold. It's cold but it doesn't seep into your very soul! I'd much rather -45C with dry to -25C damp!
Dry cold below -5c all the humidity falls out of the like glitter, key is you can wrap up really warm without sweating and getting cold
In America we don't think about the winter much... As a Canadian I just did the annual winter prep shopping. Salt, a new snow shovel, pantry food that can be cooked on the gas stove or BBQ in case we lose power. Got the snow tires put on and pulled out the "winter clothes". We always stock up early because once the snow hits, even if you can get out, your tire store or mechanic is booked solid, you can't find a decent shovel and salt is on "back order" and will arrive a week after the snowstorm passes.
I don’t know the gun laws either, but I’m pretty sure AK47’s aren’t allowed for hunting.
They're not. While I don't know the specific of all the laws regarding guns in Canada, there are essentially 3 categories of firearms.
Unrestricted, Restricted, and Prohibited
While the PAL (Possession and Acquisition License) would allow you to own/transport (within Canada) the weapons in the first 2 categories, it most definitely does not cover the Prohibited category, and the AK-47 falls in that one. And the only (somewhat reasonable) hunting one would do with an AK-47 are a 'bunch' of other humans (or if you're into sci-fi territory, space-alien invaders) but huh, ya the word 'reasonable' does quite a bit of heavy lifting there.😉
@@michelderosa2695as an rpal holder, you're pretty much bang on
One correction... A PAL is for non restricted firearms, an RPAL - restricted possession and acquisition license - is for restricted firearms and for prohibited firearms you would have an endorsement added to your license
To add some info
Any firearm in the non restricted category is legal to hunt with.
Firearms in the restricted category, while perfectly capable of hunting, cannot be used outside of a legal range so therefore illegal to hunt with.
Prohibited firearms, owned by those grandfathered into their ownership, the military, movie studios and museums, fall into two groups, one that means you aren't allowed to take out of your home and another that allows range usage.
Neither can be used for hunting even though SOME may be perfectly suitable.
Regarding the suitability of an ak47 for hunting... It's not as absurd as you'd think.
The cartridge they use is 7.62x39, the 7.62 is the metric size of 30 calibre which is likely the most common bullet used for hunting in Canada (centre fire guns... For rimfire and probably overall it's 22lr which are used for grouse and rabbit etc)
303, 308, 30-06 are common hunting rounds for everything up to moose and they're all 30 calibre
The 39 in 7.62x39 is the length of the brass casing... The larger it is, the more gunpowder that can fit. For a 308 the nato designation is 7.62x51 which means it can hold more gunpowder and is therefore more powerful.
An ak47 round is perfectly acceptable for hunting out to 200 yards up to medium large deer and 100 yards for moose.
For accuracy, they can shoot multiple rounds within a 3" circle at 100 yards.
So while not great, is fine.
Now, if you're talking about rate of fire...
They have selectable fire which means semi auto and full auto. While I fully agree that there is no place in hunting for full auto, SEMI auto - meaning one bullet per trigger pull, full auto is ALL the bullets per trigger pull - is commonly used for hunting.
Not only does it allow for a faster secondary shot, but it lessens the recoil which means you can more comfortably use a larger calibre which could mean a more humane harvest. If it hurts to fire you can develop a flinch which affects your accuracy.
The SKS rifle, which is likely the most common centre fire rifle in Canada, is essentially the precursor to the ak 47. They are similar in design and use the exact same cartridge (aka round and incorrectly called bullet by many).
The key difference? The sks is semi auto ONLY. Also, due to its low price (historically) they've been used on hunts for decades. From what I've heard, they're particularly common with native hunters.
As long as only semi auto is used, there would be absolutely nothing wrong with hunting with an ak47 (if legal)
Just fyi, firearms with full auto were prohibited in bill c71 back in 1977/78. Since that time, all assault rifles, of which an ak47 qualifies, were prohibited per the technical definition.
Dry cold slaps you in the face, damp cold seeps into your clothes, and wind-chill makes everything worse. How fun! /s
Back in the day, we used to ask people if they needed anything at the "In and Out Store".. In and Out Store was also known as The Beer Store. And yes, I am Canadian. 😂
We're warm, cuddly polar bears that will eat you when provoked....
Preparing for true winter is a big job . On the prairies, people still put storm windows on if they have older homes. You need to make sure your shovel is at the ready in case you wake up one morning to 2 feet of snow blocking the doors and sidewalks. Make sure your winter coat or parka are hanging in the closet ready to go. Your boots, your scarf, your earmuffs or your toque. your gloves or mittens , 2 sweaters to wear under your coat and away you go lol
it's not "freezing" cold, is the point. it's cold if you're accustomed to keeping yourself toasty warm but if you just head out there, it's lovely! i'm speaking as one who's worn sweaters as winter coats for 4 years running, now.
you CANNOT drive for a day straight! you'll end up nose-down in a ditch. it takes 20h 17m to drive from Niagara Falls, Ontario, to Kenora, Ontario, which is on the border to Manitoba, the province next door!
dry cold - it can be -22C and you can walk around in a t-shirt without too much bother as long as you're wearing gloves, a scarf, and a hat. damp cold - -5C and no matter what, you can't warm up. you need a hot tub.
the closest american equivalent to Newfie English would be New Orleans dialect.
we use "oh, sorry!" for everything from "my apologies for my foot getting in your way" to "bless your heart".
maple syrup: you know you've boiled it down enough when the wallpaper falls off the walls.
you like the freedom of having a gun for self-protection. we like the freedom of living somewhere where we don't need to worry about that.
We use the metric system for large units like kilometers (shortened to kliks when spoken) but when someone asks you how far something is, you'll get an answer in minutes or hours based on how long it takes to drive. Celcius is for air temperature, Frankensteins are for liquid temperature. Nobody goes "Our pool is 19C" they say "the pool is 68." For small units, we use SAE. We drive in km/h. We buy houses with 8 or 10' ceilings on lots with 50' of frontage. Body weights is either kilos or pounds. the conversion is only 2.2:1 so it's not difficult to figure out. If you're having problems with conversions, just remember your drug math.. 16oz in a pound. 454grams in a pound, 1000 grams in a kilo.
Dry cold is a thing. Was working up north and it was -52C but it was dry. So it didn't feel that cold but down here in southern onterrible, -20C feels way worse and way colder than up north due to high humidity.
You used to get Canadian Tire money when shopping at Canadian Tire. Now they just use points cards like everyone else does.
Canadians have house hippos, our Aussie mates have drop bears.
Quebecois is it's own dialect. Newfie English is Bay Wop.
Takes something like 40x the sap to make 1 volume of syrup. it's a big shit. just easier to buy it from the Amish.
The Tragically Hip... Perfectly named for the band. Musically not half bad, vocally absolute trash. Grossly overrated in Canada. Blue Rodeo is superior in every aspect musically.
We of us that don't live in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal do love our guns.
In Canada we have seasons and when seasons start changing are Canadian bodies take that time to get acclimated, so when Winter turns to Spring any temp above zero feels warm
“The US is big too, especially east-west” - yeah, but I’ve done both.. at least down your way you can drive 60-80mph (100-130kmh), we only get 55, maybe 65 across the whole country (90-110km) - so it takes you four days to get from NYC to SF, it would take us seven to get from Montreal - Vancouver, nearly 10-11 if you’re coming from Halifax or St. John’s.. to a degree that many of us drop down into the states to use your highways to cross the continent.
When transitioning from winter into summer it's not always a steady progression, and sometimes you go very rapidly into the warm weather, even if only for a couple of days. It takes a while for large snowbanks to melt away and even if the temp is 25C there can still be snow around. I have pictures of literally sunbathing in the back yard on an outdoor lounge chair, wearing a swimsuit and sunscreen, while quite a lot of unmelted snow remained in the yard. It wasn't because I was a crazy Canadian who wanted to defy wintery conditions, it was ACTUALLY sunbathing weather that day. This crazy weather transitioning is what keeps Canadians talking about the earliest date they've ever been able to get out on the golf course, get their motorcycles on the road, or yes, even sunbathe in the backyard. 😂
With the snow pile, even when it gets warm it can take a long time for all the snow to go. So you can have it actually nice out and still have big snow piles. But then I have also run out to the wood pile (say 10 feet from our door) through the snow in bare feet in -15c
Prior to aircraft being able to fly farther, they stopped in Gander for fuel. It was the last fuel stop in north America.
Àt canadian tire if you pay with normal money and when yo I are supposed to get your change back .. they rip you oʻoff and give you their money .. which you cannot spend anywhere ... just pay with debit lmao
Umm no? You get proper change plus you get CT money
So when are you coming to visit Canada, Tyler? Spend a few days in Ottawa in early February and I'll be happy to show you around and take you to the World's Largest Natural Skating Rink (7.8 km long!)
You should do a show on how Canada treats Indigenous people.
Ugh…let’s let him learn about some more good stuff, before we share our atrocities.
Though, since tomorrow is the second Truth and Reconciliation day, my kids learned about it in school on Friday (something that wasn’t taught when I went in the 90’s)…and they have tomorrow off of school.
@@gregclarke2183 If you only know the good stuff then there is nothing to critique and therefore no progress is made and no way to right the wrongs. When learning the bad too, we can right the wrongs and make progress!
@@hellogoodby2316 I totally agree.
My first remark was a (bad) joke.
My second is showing how some of the actual reconciliation is happening…which is a really good thing.
Good idea! And while you're at it, why don't you start off by telling Tyler how the different tribes treated each other and conquered each other. Enslaved and sold each other?
@@Sylver_Echo2923 Your talking before Canada existed, I'm talking today! I see what your trying to do though, distract from how Indigenous people are treated today by Canada and instead want Indigenous people to look bad because your a bigot!
We BBQ year round. There's nothing like being outside in the cold in the dead of winter, dressed accordingly of course, and feeling and smelling the cold air. It's even more fun to smell the fresh air after a good snow fall.
About 10 years ago in Oshawa Ontario, was at my brother's place for Christmas eve dinner during a snow storm and the power went out. Dinner was only half done, so we finished cooking it on the BBQ.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
Feeling like you're miles and miles away from civilization? You mean Scarborough?
Bwahahahahahaha
🤣 And I had the nerve to laugh from Etobicoke!
When I grew up in pickering people from Scarborough to their cottages
@@barbaradalziel9421 I think you missed a verb.
Yes I spent about three years learning French in elementary as a mandatory class, and realized I've been spelling some of my words in French
In Canada because of our location and surroundings it often snows when it’s not that cold outside. One tine in the middle of a bright sunny day it started Snowing, Raining and Hailing .. after about an hour there was a couple inches of snow & hail on the ground… they had to get out the graders to clean the roads
As a Canadian, I personally do have some measure of heat and cold resistance, but I believe it is mostly that winter is long, dark, and depressing, and we will take what we can get. In some places it is still night when you wake up and go to work, and when you head home, it is night again and you missed the entire day. Every day. For months.
I BBQ all year round. In our current era Southern Ontario see's less snowfall and less accumulation than ever. We had two snowfalls that stayed on the ground for longer than a day.
The metric system is definitely easier than the imperial system considering the metric system is based on the power of ten. Imperial is all over the board. 1 cm = 10 mm, freezing point is 0 C degrees compared to 32 F, a km is 1000 m whereas a mile is 5280 feet, etc. It's much easier to divide by ten then random imperial divisions. I grew up when Canada was turning over into metric so I understand both but metric is more simplified and easier to comprehend.
Also it's not unusual to see the temps at -20 C with the wind blowing and see some freak wearing a t-shirt and shorts, just as it's not unusual to see some other freaks wearing winter clothing when it's 25 C while I'm sweating my ass off in a t and shorts.
Exactly. During my wrestling days, one of the American wrestlers asked me to explain the metric system to him. I said "Simple. Just multiply everything by ten. There's ten millimeters in a centimeters. Ten centimeters in a decimeter. Ten decimeters in a meter. Ten meters in a decameter. And ten decameters in a kilometer. The tough part is remembering what the measurements are called. Once you have that figured out, everything else is just multiply or divide by ten."
@@Thundarr100even then the prefixes are all the same I’ll use meters as an example but. Quecto meter. Rontometer yoctometer zeptometer attometer femtometer picometer nanometer micrometer millimeter centimeter decimeter meter decameter hectometer kilometre (weirdly spellled like metre instead of meter in Canadian English) megameter gigameter terameter petameter exameter zettameter yottameter ronnameter quettameter. Most people don’t use deca or hecto or deco though so you can commonly use computer storage sizes to help people. Byte kilobyte megabyte gigabyte.
Any measurement less than an inch is much easier to divide in half using Imperial than Metric. Fractions are good that way. Just double the number on the bottom.
@@netgnostic1627 I beg to differ. Half of 2 cm = 1 cm. Half of 1 cm = 5 mm. Half of 5 mm = 2.5 mm. Half of 2.5 mm = 1.25 mm. Half of 1.25 mm = 0.625 mm. Trust me. I can go way further with decimals than you can with fractions.
@@netgnostic1627 ok how wide is a transistor normally? 27559/100000000000
Or.
7 nano meters.
I’ll stick with metric thanks
It is all about how you say sorry. It can be very sarcastic at times. Especially if you step on our feet.
I am wrapping up a trip through 5 provinces in Canada. BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba & Ontario. I wish I could send you a picture of Saskatchewan. Seriously, there is NOTHING but wheat, for as far as the eye can see. It encompasses 90% of that province !! If you lay down in the wheat, you would disappear!
Endless skies & wheat,....
OK,... & maybe the occasional cow, too !! LoL.
6:45 Dry cold is more in the West, or wherever there are no large bodies of water (ocean or Great Lakes), so central and West, interior are dry cold, with no bodies of water to add humidity. Your body can handle a lower temp of Dry cold than wet cold such as in Atlantic Canada, the West coast doesn’t get as cold so it’d be similar, but not near as bad, they don’t often get into the negatives in South BC, or they at least rarely get any snow. Atlantic -20°, with the high humidity, feels bone chilling, -20° usually feels like -30 - 35° “with the wind chill”, which is all humid air. You need down filled coats (bird down, layer under feathers that insulates winter birds) and even then you can feel the cold seep through the stitching randomly in the wind.. it’s awful lol .. Those in Central, I have a friend in MB, regularly gets -35 - -40°c -but they can endure it longer (but with skin all covered by balaclava and hats scarfs on face etc. -to avoid frost bite - that cold, bare skin, would be in as little as 5-15 mins) but can endure much longer dressed properly, like an hour - three much easier than -20° with windchill -30 in Atlantic Canada (and I assume around the Great Lakes, but not as intense as here).. that takes 2 hours in front of a heat source, wrapped in a warm blanket, with a warm drink to get all the cold out of your bones to recover out East lol.
🎵 " Don't ya put it in your mouth" 🎵
Dry cold is warmer and when it snows during dry cold, it produces the light fluffy snow or sometimes the crunchy snow. Definitely not the packing snow.
Gun culture and gun violence isn't as rare in Canada as people like to think. There are a lot of guns that come over the border illegally, and in BC there is a lot of gang violence and shootings. There is also a large number of people especially hunters, farmers, and sport shooters that are not happy with our government who are trying to confiscate legally purchased firearms, while not doing anything about the illegal guns coming across the border, that are responsible for the majority of crimes.
I live roughly 800kms (500ish miles) North of the US border, just outside of a city of 80,000 people and its the largest city in Northern BC.
Hi, neighbours! I live a bit north of you! Along the Alaska Highway.
Canadian here. For me, it doesn’t matter WHAT season it is - 10 degrees C is always t-shirt weather for me
I watched your video on The Tragically hip, there's some other very good Canadian bands, like Steppenwolf, Bachman-Turner overdrive, The Guess who, Rush, and Red Rider, Tom Cochrane, and Neil Young, so much good Canadian music, one of my favorite songs of all time... This Beat goes On/ switching to glide by the Kings!! A Canadian classic!
I'm in Ontario, not the coldest province ever, but I don't start using jackets until we drop BELOW 50F, 45ish maybe, and even then it's usually a light coat. Like a wind breaker or something. I'm also not your typical Canadian though. You step on my foot you don't get a sorry, you get universal "Watch it a-hole."
The Newfie accent is akin to the Irish accent, but spoken much quicker. There is also a whole slang that is unique to them. Just as an aside, in Canada we tell "Newfie jokes", whereas in England the same jokes are told about the Irish. It's mean, I know.
Totally understand the first one. 27 C in July is hot: the same temp in October (which is rare) feels cooler. I think because it does not linger as long and night comes earlier.
All Canadian fathers bbq on the porch in the snow in flip flops and shorts. The smell of snow mixed with bbq should be bottled by a perfumer and call it “canadiana”
That’s 52 degrees Fahrenheit. My brother lives in Minnesota, his winters are bloody cold. I live on the Westcoast. We really don’t have a winter, we have a rainy season.🇨🇦
dry cold and wet cold - best explained by the difference between a Vancouver winter and an Edmonton (or any prairie) winter. ICE ICE BABY.
When you are wet you feel colder than when you are dry, even in the same temperature.
Brings us to part of the reason Vancouver shuts down in 1 inch of snow! lol
Dry cold is definitely better than wet cold I live on the west coast where we basically have two seasons, the rainy season and summer when you get wet or damp in the cold weather, it’s impossible to warm up. It doesn’t matter what you do. You can dress for dry dry, cold, much easier.
Elementary school kids have to learn French. It's optional in junior high and high school. In some college/university programs you need at least one language course (a friend was livid when she took a B.A. in drama in college and discovered that because she hadn't taken French in high school, she would have to take it in her first year; I'd taken French for years and was taking university-level French by that point, and tutored her several times/week at noon hour). French immersion schools exist in every province (most major and medium cities have them). At least during my time in school, we were taught Parisian French, not Quebecois French. There are some definite differences.
In Ontario it was / is mandatory from grade 4 to grade 9.
Blistering COLD/HURTS😂
Our body adapt at the of winter above 0 Celsius is suffocating
I live in Ottawa, if its still able to snow, its warm. When it gets too cold to snow...that's when it gets cold. I BBQ all winter long in the snow. :)
Same as Dry Heat and Humid Heat . ex. : 37c while having 80% humidity and 37c while having 20% humidity doesnt feel the same .. Same for coldness, the more humid, the worse it feels.
Nobody understands Quebec French or Newfie lol
It gets so cold on the Canadian east coast in Feb that we were always told to not cry outside because it will freeze right away. For a few weeks in jan or Feb it can be -30°C
When you step into a warm place from a dry cold, you warm up right away. When you step in from a wet cold, you still "feel it in your bones" for awhile
Autumn 🍂 in Ontario, September and October is generally warm (September like summer still) So 10C is cold for that time of year. Our February here in Ontario is generally cold, when the weather goes up to 10C our snow is out still usually, so then IT’s barbecue 🍖 time!
