As an American I have never seen this segment on Tom Brokaw Explaining Canada To Americans. Today I am very interested to see this famous segment where Tom Brokaw explains the relationship between Canada and The United States. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Hollywood's version of the hostage crisis was awful. President Carter being interviewed about the movie "Argo" kept having to correct the interviewer that it was the Canadians who were the heros.
Ambassador Taylor said Argo was a good movie, but it wasn't at all what happened.
I was ticked off when that movie presented a fictionalized version of that situation, one in which the Americans were front and center. I was ticked, but I wasn't at all surprised. I wish that a producer or director would take up the project of making a nail bitting thriller that tells the story properly. Those Canadian men and women risked their lives when they hid the Americans in their homes while everything could be arranged to get them out. It was a true display of courage, which is defined as taking action despite being afraid.
The famous WWII movie "The Great Escape" with Steve McQueen is another one. The Americans were not part of the Great Escape from Stalag III, it was mainly British Commonwealth Forces. The "Tunnel King" was actually Wally Floody a pre-war mining engineer from Timmins, Ontario, serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was also the technical advisor to the movie. The whole US 4th of July scene was BS to make the movie sell in America. Sad really.
@@johnfisher9816 Unfortunately, it happens regularly that fact-based movies are made more US-centric to sell to that market, because if it isn't about them, they're not interested.
Ben Affleck's Argo... The only Argo Canada cares about are its 6 and 8 wheeler ATV's.

More like inundated 😅
Lol we watch their TV, movies, sports, news, listen to their music, read their books, are impacted by their politics, learn their history, purchase from their companies....we are totally engulfed by them 😅
Canadian here. I’m glad we’re neighbours. Long may we live in partnership with each other. And “we” includes Mexico as well. The 3 amigos of North America rock! What a continent we live on! ❤❤❤🎉
@@maryannkeena Sure does beat a lot of alternatives, I'm glad I don't live in Europe, China, etc.
"Americans are benevolently ignorant about Canada, while Canadians are malevolently well informed about the United States." - historian J. Bartlett Brebner
That's hilarious and accurate.
Yes we learned more in high school about the US government and country then we did our own , sad really .
“May these gates never be closed!” Except when there is a pandemic.
@@mone5667 - More like except when there are disagreements.
And trump will close it
I’m sure most Canadians know more about America than most U.S.citizens!
We do. For the richest nation in the world, there are a lot of very ignorant Americans. Ever see one of those "Ask Americans" streeters? It would be funny if it weren't scary how ignorant they are.
OH YEAH 😂 you GOT THAT RIGHT 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 💖
unfortunately true !
I live in Manitoba. When I was a teen, I was in the southern US and was trying to explain to them where precisely in Canada I was from. We are north of North Dakota. They did not know where North Dakota was.
@@jolenethiessen357 hello from Ontario.. unbelievable they did not know that 🤷🤷🤷
It's sad that so few Americans know about 9/11. I remember being very insulted, as were many Canadians, when George Bush gave a press conference thanking all the other countries who aided the USA. Listing them all separately , but he didn't mention Canada. When he was asked about it later he said, "well that goes without saying" ! That is part of the reason why most regular Americans had no idea it happed. It was a slap in the face to those who worked so hard to help.
Exactly I remember that so well and all that we did to help with everything because that is what Canadians but was also a slap in the face by George W Bush. I just got back from Iowa and when they found out where I was from they said that it must be cold all the time I rolled my eyes and said that where I am at we have the same kind of weather as they do and that a lot of the US States r more north then I am infact I live in Amherstburg Ontario Canada part of the war of 1812 and North of me is Windsor Ontario Canada and right across the river is Detroit Michigan just to give u an idea where I am at even Detroit is more North of me so I just laugh at this remark all the time. They talk about my hometown of Windsor Ontario and Windsor and Detroit r the Automotive Capitol of Canada and the US. We have a bridge and tunnel to the US and sometime this summer our new bridge that Canada is building the Gordie Howe bridge will be connected so when it opens we will have 2 bridges and 1 tunnel to get over to the US. I also remember Iran hostage takeover and what Canada did I was 13 yrs old at the time when that was going on and Jimmy Carter was President and Ronald Regan because they were released on his first day in office he let Jimmy Carter to meet with the hostages
Tyler if you want to see something really cool look up JTF2 and their relationship with US SOCOM
@@maryanntreleaven3709 : I once told an American, (in Florida), that yes, as soon as one goes over the Canada/US border, one is inundated with a snowstorm-EVERY time! 😂😂
Yes, I remember the George Bush insult also. I was working in the U.S. at the time (commuting daily from Windsor to Detroit). I remember co-workers asking me why Canada wasn’t mentioned by Bush. I too was often questioned about how bad the weather was in Canada, which actually was a 20 minute commute. I became weary of trying to explain that Windsor had the same weather as Detroit, so I devised a response that left people shocked. If Detroit had 2 inches of snow, I would say Windsor had 10 inches. That usually ended the conversation. LOL
Well, it was George Bush, so that explains it
“Geography has made us neighbours, History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies.” 🇨🇦 🇺🇸💙🤍❤️
That was seriously Damaged by that asshole, Trump
Brothers. Our paths may have been different but our roots are the same.
"Geography has made us neighbours; history has made us friends." Here is John F. Kennedy’s powerful speech to Canadian Parliament (May 1961).
His words have stood the test of time.
Canadian Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker and Mrs. Olive Diefenbaker accompany President Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
JFK begins, “Mr. Speaker of the Senate, Mr. Speaker of the House, Mr. Prime Minister, Members of the Canadian Houses of Parliament, distinguished guests and friends:
I am grateful for the generous remarks and kind sentiments toward my country and myself, Mr. Prime Minister.” In French, he says, “Je me sens vraiment entre amis.” (I feel that I am truly among friends.) The speech is abridged.
Some memorable quotes: “The warmth of your hospitality symbolizes more than merely the courtesy which may be accorded to an individual visitor. They symbolize the enduring qualities of amity and honor which have characterized our countries' relations for so many decades.”
“...we share more than a common border. We share a common heritage, traced back to those early settlers who traveled from the beachheads of the Maritime Provinces and New England to the far reaches of the Pacific Coast. Henry Thoreau spoke a common sentiment for them all: "Eastward I go only by force, Westward I go free. I must walk towards Oregon and not towards Europe." We share common values from the past, a common defense line at present, and common aspirations for the future-our future, and indeed the future of all mankind.”
“Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder.”
“What unites us is far greater than what divides us. The issues and irritants that inevitably affect all neighbors are small deed in comparison with the issues that we face together--above all the somber threat now posed to the whole neighborhood of this continent--in fact, to the whole community of nations. But our alliance is born, not of fear, but of hope. It is an alliance that advances what we are for, as well as opposes what we are against.”
“And so it is that when we speak of our common attitudes and relationships, Canada and the United States speak in 1961 in terms of unity. We do not seek the unanimity that comes to those who water down all issues to the lowest common denominator--or to those who conceal their differences behind fixed smiles--or to those who measure unity by standards of popularity and affection, instead of trust and respect.”
“We are allies. This is a partnership, not an empire. We are bound to have differences and disappointments--and we are equally bound to bring them out into the open, to settle them where they can be settled, and to respect each other's views when they cannot be settled.”
“At the conference table and in the minds of men, the Free World's cause is strengthened because it is just. But it is strengthened even more by the dedicated efforts of free men and free nations. As the great parliamentarian Edmund Burke said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." And that in essence is why I am here today. This trip is more than a consultation--more than a good-will visit. It is an act of faith--faith in your country, in your leaders--faith in the capacity of two great neighbors to meet their common problems--and faith in the cause of freedom, in which we are so intimately associated.”
Many thanks to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum for the invaluable footage of the visit (portions included in this video) and audio (which we paired w video)

@Mattattak And then came Trump!
@@wysetech2000 what does that mean? Don't tell me you buy the "Canada hates Trump" horseshit...
For the record, Canada entered WWI before the U.S. as well. In both wars, the German forces were terrified at having to face Canadians. Well-documented and easy to find.
The Geneva Conventions were literally created because Canadians were left unsupervised during both world wars. Most of the things we did to the Germans are now considered war crimes.
It used to be that the Scottish soldiers were called “devils in skirts” (kilts) by the enemy.
Canada entered WW2 in Sept. 1939 & the Americans in Dec. 1941.
Especially the Devils Brigade
That's so true they why feared
As a Canadian... we don't mind y'all not knowing much about us. It makes it more fun when we can shock American visitors with our new fangled electricity and fancy indoor plumbing.
😂🤣
In the early Xbox live days, I managed to convince an American that I lived in a igloo and that Canada was a perpetual frozen wasteland with the only mode of transportation was by dog sled 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Y’all?? You sound American 😆
@@richardc8795 We relate to our American friends! 😁🇨🇦/🇺🇸
@@LorraineHammond-b8u Sorry. This is not a term commonly used in Canadian vernacular.
It’s USA. Mostly South.
Has absolutely nothing to do with relating.
Fun fact. Canada declared war on Japan before the US after the attack on Pearl harbor.
My grandfather was a lighthouse keeper on the west coast. When I was little I visited and he showed me a big hole where a shell from a Japanese submarines deck gun landed and blew up a supply shed. Was quite an amazing piece of history that many Canadians don’t know.
I don't have any dates at hand, but hadn't Japan also declared war against Canada, before the massacre of Canadian troops who had just been stationed in Hong Kong? It was only a few days either way, but the Japanese didn't like Canada very much at all. Canadian POW's were treated even more harshly than most (I know two of those men personally when I was growing up), or than the civilian prisoners (mainly from the Netherlands). Not sure what their particular grudge was, but seeing Japan had already been at war since 1931 (when they invaded Manchuria), there was probably some grudge against Canada. The Japanese in 1941 were savage after 10 years of war.
@@flyingbeaver57 I am certainly not clear on this, but from what you are saying, it would make sense that the Japanese would be harsher on our Canadian TROOPS vs. CIVILIANS (from places like the Netherlands.) Did I misunderstand you? I am just trying to learn a little here.
@Carrie-so3ro there were other nations' troops as well. Hong Kong was a British protectorate at the time. The Canadians were part of the British contingent and were not treated with the honour given to true British troops, but treated as mongrels - sonething neither here, nor there.
True !!
We are Canadian. Mistake our kindness for weakness at your peril.
I like to say we're "polite" not necessarily kind. And maybe a little passive-aggressive. :)
I always like to say "We're nice and polite, until we're not."
And with all that the sad part is that so many Americans have so little respect for Canada.
I agree wholeheartedly - the word 'respect' sums it all up. A lack of respect and hugely taken for granted yet they rant about moving here each time they are unhappy with their own country. (And just the idea that it's so easy to move here is a kind of disrespect.)
Americans don't respect any other culture..... part of that "we're better " crap they've been fed all their life.... I've been all over the world many times, we ain't all that we think we are..
Trump Trump Trump Trump......
Who cares….. I dislike the feeling I get that Canadians try too hard to impress the Americans, looking for respect? I think many Americans need to work on learning some self respect, no offence guys
@@marchetaify I agree and not. It's pathetic to base an identity on getting their respect but at the same time it IS insulting to have so little knowledge or interest in a neighbouring country (and one that is a fellow giant in terms of size, trade and wealth).. No other major country has so little identity (because we are constantly lumped in with them) and what IS known comes from other nations believing stereotypes given to us by them. They forget most of the world does things (healthcare, money, political system, metric, spelling etc.) differently than them when they label these as 'Canadian' but we are just as bad because instead of feeling secure in the knowledge that we are not the odd one out, we constantly feel the need to prove to everyone AND ourselves how different we are to them.. (ie 'The Rant' is nothing more than pointing out to ourselves how we differ - like saying we don't say 'zee' - when only ONE English-speaking country says zee.) I do see your point and we shouldn't have to grovel to be respected nor should we care if we aren't, but I also see why it matters to some that the indifference is insulting and is therefore disrespectful. Unfortunately it comes from the misfortune of neighbouring the most culturally influential country.. if we were elsewhere we would basically be Australia (which is similar to us in every way except they lack the need to seek respect or a specific identity.)
Canadian here. I lost a friend in Afghanistan on his second tour of duty, the day they flew Justin’s remains out, one of my best friends was flying in to start his tour. Thankfully, Mark came home safely, my heart goes out to all who lost loved ones in the line of duty.
😊
The "house" on the cliff about 36 seconds in is the lighthouse at Cape Spear, Newfoundland -at the most easterly point of land in North America.
Yup! I proposed to my fiance there at sunrise, becoming one of the first people to see the sun in north america AND to propose that day 😎
@@jurd3641 Wow, what a cool proposal!
And a really dramatic and beautiful place for….a picnic!!!
Yes, it does. I've been there a few times, and it is wild, rugged, and jaw-droppingly beautiful. If memory serves, the lighthouse looks unfamiliar to us because the design is from Britain.
This video makes me immensely proud as a Canadian. It's a romantic view but rich with history too. Can't beat Tom Brokaw voicing it who has had a special relationship with Canada also.
I always thought of Tom Brokaw as an honorary Canadian. As a child, I grew up listening to him, and if Anne of Green Gables ever came up with an appropriate term that could apply to him, it is Kindred Spirit. He's a rare voice. He and Canada's Peter Mansbridge were at the top of the game in reporting. (Peter was born in UK btw... but that's for another episode)
You have done more for US/Canada relations than any politician over the last 50 years
you= tyler? 🤣🤣🤣
He's certainly done more to reinforce the stereotype that Americans know nothing about Canada.
@@TomHuston43 Why are you such a Tyler hater? I have seen so many nasty, negative comments from you about him many times. What has he done to you? Could you not just ignore the above comment if you don't feel this way? Did Tyler steal your girlfriend in high school or something? If it's not constructive (reasonable) criticism, why are you making it? Leave it alone & go TRY to have a good day - somewhere else - leaving Tyler alone.

We are super polite, but don't hurt our friends, or else.
Yeah don't make us pull out the geniva checklist
I am Canadian, married an American , lived in the u.s, had to find Canadian news on the internet, no Canadian news on tv…
plenty of actual canadian news on youtube, our mainstream is as bad as it is there
Or weather like Canada always mentions usa weather. Travellers have to find elsewhere when it comes to the USA.
No world news on tv. Their news is restricted to area with broader news limited and world news not covered unless the US is involved. It was so hard to find out what was going on and for the most part they don’t care.
That's because Canada usually keeps to ourselves unless we're needed somewhere.
Yeah that's something that grinds my gears. About 5 yrs ago we had huuuuge forest fires here in BC, lost something like 1.5 million hectares and lots of homes and businesses and I couldn't find anything about it on American news but our news has the dumbest ish that's happens in the US all the time.
Shhh Tyler, we kinda LIKE that most American's think we're a frozen, barren wasteland. Keeps out the riff raff. You've taken a spiritual journey and found us to be a warm, wonderful nation of natural wonders. Oh and the fact that we're as long as the US is. I lived in Dallas for 20 yrs and almost every time someone learned I was from Canada I'd get the most ridiculous questions so let me just add that sure I'll say hi to your friend from Vancouver when I go to Toronto to visit family.
😂😂😂😂
Dont worry, they will come here and see our prices for stuff and run back faster than they came 😂
@@paulkarp958 true that. once they realize that the average house prise is 1.1 MILLION they definitely will change their minds about moving here.🤣🤣
@@paulkarp958 Won't stop the tourists though. Have you SEEN the prices that they charge down there ...in AMERICAN dollars??? (I have.)
I have ALSO heard TOO MANY TIMES from American businessmen & tourists to Canadian businesses - "This is good, you should be charging A LOT more for it!" I have wanted to tell them each time to be quiet, Canadians don't want higher prices, but being Canadian me, I have just kept silent.
LOL !! when Overseas, with N.A.T.O. same thing, ie: would be sked if I knew someone from Ontario !! Many in the World have No Idea how Vast Canada is

@@lyndagayemiller And true.
Yeah, we know what happens when the US has you on their radar.
@@lyndagayemillerwhenever the US starts paying you much attention one or more of 3 things happen. 1 everything starts exploding and lots of people die, 2 your economy is suddenly bought up my US corporations and you loose all locally owned companies, or 3 your government suddenly is either now a republic despite having a functional one before or all your politicians are suddenly acting like Democrats and Republicans. The US has this habit of trying to turn everyone into the US. The British Empire at least had the stones to tell everyone they were in charge now and left anyone who didn't cause trouble alone.
Tom Brokow and Peter Jennings were of the same generation of great, non-partisan broadcast journalists. Tom being 🇺🇲 from Dakota and Peter 🇨🇦 from Ontario.
I confuse the two all the time. They are both amazing broadcasters.
They were both far left liberals.
In Canada, it's actually from sea to sea to sea, as our country has coastline on three different oceans.
The Canadian motto "a Mare usque ad Mare", which is featured on Canada's coat of arms, means "from sea to sea".
It is the longest coastline in the world of any country.
From sea to sea to sea is too much 'Trudeauing'
@@madbab8942 uh much older statement than you seem capable of understanding
@@alpearson9158 My sincere apologies for my attempt at levity. SOOOO tired of that expression as typical from pm sox, bobblehead, et al.

Alas, my level of understanding is limited. Peeps will just have to put up with me on occasion. Ta

What does Canada know about Australia or New Zealand?
@@TomHuston43 Even though we are far away, Canadians hear some news about Australia and New Zealand (i.e. some politics, earth quakes, fires, etc.). Our news is not Canadian only. The point is America is right next door to Canada, yet they know very little about us.
@@TomHuston43how is that relevant to this discussion? This is about knowing your bordering nation.

Ben Affleck made a movie called Argo about the rescue of diplomats from Iran, but he swapped out the role the Canadians played and replaced them with Americans. Totally hijacked the heroism of the Canadians.
YES!
@@waywardmind The movie comes across as the CIA being the heroes and the Canadian embassy staff being minor players of the event. I would consider that swapping the roles.
@@waywardmind Quoting another comment on the video;
"Hollywood's version of the hostage crisis was awful. President Carter being interviewed about the movie "Argo" kept having to correct the interviewer that it was the Canadians who were the heroes."
Yes, I even heard President Carter call out that movie on TV(maybe Larry King). He said the Canadians weren’t given enough credit. Which is why I refuse to watch it.
Please do not watch ARGO bcz it is crap. To get the real story, better off doing non-fiction research.
We don't care about getting credit for what we do .. we just being canadian..
and yet we seem to whine and cry about how little credit we get from them whenever this topic comes up. It's actually quite nauseating after awhile.
Peace Arch was so important during the Covid lockdowns. It was a place where Canadians and Americans could exist together in the same park despite the border restrictions. My sister lives in BC and her ex husband was studying in California and he would fly up to Washington on long weekends and meet her at Peace Arch, because if he actually crossed back into Canada he risked not being allowed back to finish his studies.
yeah, that's communism for ya.
Thank you, Tyler for sharing your enthusiasm. I sure hope you share it with more Americans. “Our Man in Tehran” is a documentary film about the Iran hostage crisis. It’ll give you a Canadian perspective, not a Hollywood one. ❤️🇨🇦

Shhh, don't tell them. 🤫, 😄.

In school, we had to learn not only all the Canadian provinces/territories and their capital cities, but we were made to memorise every US state and their capitals, as well as every country/capital in Europe etc. Our history classes contained not only Canadian history, but American and World history. TV news shows report about US and world news as well. I doubt US schools did the same
I know they don't. I was married to an American citizen and I challenged him to name the 10 provinces (not even the territories) and I'd list all the states- he lost. He couldn't list half of them and I got all the states.
unfortunately large amounts of the history and geography and older generationlearned of is now simply ignored in schools .

Affleck’s movie about Iran hostages rescue was highly criticized for snubbing the Canadian efforts
When I’ve met Americans abroad serving in the Armed Forces, I always find it funny when you ask them where their from they will say the state. I respond with just my province and have heard more than once, “I’ve never heard of that country.”
@wocookie2277: sad, isn’t it?
They made a movie about the Hostages in Iran, but barely mentioned the Canadians at all. lol
Tom Brokaw has many friends here and visits often. He owned land in BC for a time. He was in a perfect position to prepare this segment as he has a true love for the country.
Bob lives in the house on the cliff. You Know Bob, from Canada.
What about Bob? Lol
I tear up every time I see this special by Tom Brokaw. Thank you for showing it. ❤
I always "love" when people bring up the movie Argo which was basically assigned the lion's share of the credit to the Americans (like most American made movies do even when they are only involved in a minor capacity or not at all) and ignores the fact that Canada played a much large role. It also changed the role played by a couple of other countries in the rescue and added more drama to parts of the movie than actually occurred.
Yeah, definitely follow up on the US hostage story in Iran. (Hollywood dramatized it in the movie, Argo, a few years ago.)
Too bad they took all the credit.
Argo is an okay movie but Hollywood got it mostly wrong. During its initial screening, there was blowback about pretty much writing Canada out of the movie. The movie was based on an ex-CIA operative’s version of events where he is the hero. Ken Taylor, the Canadian Ambassador, was made to look somewhat pensive and indecisive in the novel and movie which was the furthest thing from the truth. Additions were made to appease the Canadian’s perspective.
Yes, check out Argo (the movie) but then checkout other sources to get a fuller, not ratings-driven, understanding of the situation at the time.
Just as an add-on, the Canada/US history regarding behind the scenes political assistance to our friends south of the border extends decades. Do a little research on Canadian diplomacy during the Vietnam War. It is likely that Canadian clandestine support for the U.S. in Vietnam helped grease the skids for the 1965 Auto Pact to cite just one example.
Have Americans forgotten their 1979-81 hostage crisis? At the time, it was wall-to-wall coverage for well over a year and is the origin of their 'yellow ribbon' tradition...
@@canadianhienz57 Also, the day Canada declared war on Japan was December 7 1941, the day Japan attacked Pearl Harbour.
Yeah, no. That movie is garbage.
That realestate is a lighthouse at Cape Spear, Newfoundland...
My paternal grandmother’s ancestors first migrated to Canada as long time ago and there is intermarriage with French Canadian, Cree Natives, and Scots ( her great grandfather came from Ireland ) and her father moved to the US. I grew up in Michigan and before I moved I visited Ontario and Quebec and had a great time. I’m very aware of our neighbors to the North and we’re really blessed to have such a great neighbor!
I'm in the 10% of Canadians who don't live close to the US border and live in the North. We do get very cold winters, but we also get hot summer days... even up into the territories, it's not all a frozen wasteland -- I remember this Canadian exposé when the Vancouver Olympics actually happened. Tom Brokaw did a really great job at it! 😃
Canada views the US as our loud neighbor, but when you need us, we will be there to help. We have access to American media and news to keep us informed on the US culture and events.
Across Canada during 9/11 planes landed. Gander took the brunt of it, but planes landed from coast to coast.
I believe it was 17 airports involved. We had a lot of Americans stranded here in Vancouver.
@@Sharon-bo2se We had stranded folks in Winnipeg as well. Good thing it wasn't winter...brrr.
I wish there was a news cast or short documentary on ALL of the different places in Canada that took in planes headed to the U.S. that day - what they did & went through. It would be great to see. (Even those in Newfoundland don't really get enough recognition for what they did.)
Calgary International airport was parking planes on the grassy land surrounding the airport. Planes were visible from the industrial area that normally wouldn’t see them.
Probably the only other relationship between two countries that resembles the unique closeness of Canada and the US is that between Australia and New Zealand.
Let's keep it that way by not letting T**** back in the White House...
in school we are not only taught canadian history but american history and some world history. most canadians also know the words to your national anthem.
Tyler, Tom Brokaw appeared in 2 or 3 features where he talked about Canada, and 2 in particular about the Canadian military. The one line I treasure was when Brokaw had been aboard an aircraft carrier somewhere in the Indian Ocean, after 9/11/2001, and that the escort ships had included a destroyer and an ASW (anti-submarine) frigate from the Royal Canadian Navy. Brokaw laughed out loud, saying that he'd spent the entire day aboard the lead Canadian escort ship with a camera crew. However, he continued, he couldn't include any of that footage because although he'd had a great day, there was so much swearing that it wasn't suitable for a "family audience" LOL. Yep, sure sounds like sailors I know in the RCN. Brokaw's line about the "language" aboard the lead frigate just cracked me up.
@@flyingbeaver57 probably a Halifax class frigate. Those things were designed explicitly to hunt and kill submarines.
We're that neighbor that is always watching you from the other side of the fence. The neighbor that knows you better than you know yourselves, while you only look inwards. Twins separated at birth who grew up in very different families, but who will always be family when it really matters. To anyone who thinks living next to the US is a bad thing, just think about countries that have a border with Russia.
I’ve always been happy to live near the U.S./Canada border as most Canadians do! The U.S. is a marvelous place to visit and I have some wonderful friends who live there. But I love living in Canada. And the older I get the better it looks to me. Of course it’s familiar and comfortable but being in my late 70s the social safety net and the healthcare system is a great blessing. I haven’t needed to used them much and hope I never will. Most seniors live pretty healthy lives since so few of us smoke now, but I’m grateful to know it’s there if ever I need it. May you be blessed with a long and healthy life.
But Canada border Russia. As the Arctic Ocean melts they will play a more invasive role in Canada. They want to claim a lot of the sea bed. As a consequence they have built a lot of military/business infrastructure on the northern coast. Canada has built little to none. Like NATO says we need to invest in our northern military infrastructure.
Tyler buddy, I don't know how you've never heard of the Tehran hostage incident. No, we did not help the Americans come up with a plan; it was our plan. Yes, Taylor was spying for the CIA, but they had little to do with the operation.
I wonder whether the Canadians involved knew Taylor worked for the CIA, or would have particularly cared since they had a common objective.
@@wizardsuth
No, they didn't know, and they absolutely would have cared. And I imagine Taylor would have been recalled to Canada and faced an espionage inquiry.
Canada helped get six American Diplomats out of Iran in 1979, They stayed at the Canadian embassy, if you are interested there is a movie called Argo, that will tell what happened in 1979. we have some of the bravest people in the world
@freemanlewis3838: Argo doesn’t tell the true story.
Argo is a fictionalized account of the the true story. In the movie, Canadians weren't very involved and the Americans essentially saved themselves.
Argo is not accurate...the the real facts about Canada did for southern neighbors ❤
That movie was a joke
I respect your view of Canada and your interest to know more. Your comment about it being a bit disrespectful sort of hits home for many of us Canadians.
Thank you for really bringing such a focus to our wonderful country and being respectful for our contribution to many world events.
Growing up so close to Detroit we got 2 Canadian tv channels and about a dozen U.S. channels so that explains why some of us know so much about America i.e. politics
Same for us in Toronto, we got like 3 Buffalo channels and knew about every fire in Cheektowaga!
@@JohnnyTorontoEh I grew up with a continuous flow of Detroit crimes and into adulthood until cable tv was invented
We are in London we got WUAB tv out of Ohio
Windsor Ontario (South Detroit)
@@johntarnowski9086 I left Windsor about 3 years ago to be close to my 80yr old Mom
I remember watching this during the olympics with tears in my eyes. I was so proud to see Canada's friendship with America so well explained.
Great video , BIG shout out to all my American brothers and sisters. We love you here in Canada !
When Shania Twain had her 2 back to back concerts in Saskatoon, her crew bus was involved in a
slippery highway roll over. She wasn’t on that bus, however 3 of her crew were sent to hospital
in Regina.
Indian Head was the next town. Someone got a hold of their high school. The staff called up their
students to make them a pancake breakfast.
She came and asked about the crew who thanked the school. Which was later brought up at her concert. She said a ❤️ felt thanks. Then sang Still The One with the light up Indigenous beaded poppy,
and imagined, creative snow drifts.
It was so beautiful. It gave me goosebumps.

You really need to do a video of the Iran hostages and how Canada got them out. It's really amazing ❤
Thanks Tyler, really appreciated this. I am teary-eyed watching this as a proud Canadian! eh!
I did 2 years of high school in Minnesota so I know how education works stateside. It’s not that the average person is any different than in Canada.. it is the low-level of education that the kids are being taught that makes the majority of them seem totally clueless. Kids only learn what they’re told wherever they live worldwide. A country as big and rich as the U.S. is doesn’t have much to show for it. Pathetic education system!
I also went to college in U.S. I was shocked to have been approached by numerous American students who wanted me to write papers and do homework for them, and discovering that they could not spell. A horrible position for both sides.
This is probably the best video explaining Canada to US citizens, and it has a lot of powerful moments in it, although some of the stats are a bit dated. The trade figures are still high, but Canada and Mexico switch places as top US trading partner every once and a while.
The Canadian Caper as it was called, was a great adventure and deserves learning about. The movie Argo (2012) was based loosely on it, although it gave the CIA a much larger role than they actually did. Here's a RUclips copy of a CBS news Report on it: ruclips.net/video/H0uAHxNrGDc/видео.html
I love learning about my Country through your eyes! Your so fun to watch!❤
The ignorance of Americans on anything that isn’t US centric astonishes me
Thank you Tyler, for teaching some American people some things about Canada. In Canada, we learn a lot about America starting in elementary school. It’s sad that America doesn’t. Considering we are your next door neighbour. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
I love being Canadian ❤ 🇨🇦
You betcha.
Great job Tyler! 👏 I love this!!! I shared this out three times for you. Your Canadian friend down in SC 🏖🏝🩴😎🇨🇦🇺🇸👌
Tyler, I live in Montreal Quebec Canada,. I so much enjoy your videos about informing Americans about Canada. My whole family emigrated to the US, while I came to Canada. Your videos are so informative about my country that I recommend them to my American family to find out about my choice of country of choice.. We both enjoy visiting each other and finding and discovering more amazing things about each others countries
Thank you Tyler. I really like your perspective. Usually it's bang on the way I feel as well.
I am making you an honorary Canadian brother 😊
I second that, eh?
as a kid growing up in Canada in the 60 an 70s we were taught as much American history as Canadian , as a Canadian ,well said tom
Tom Brokaw was a great news cast in Canada. A very nice man!
He is American. I think you are referring to Peter Jennings, a Canadian newscaster working in the US.
I almost died laughing with you guys about how polite Canadians are at the Olympics
I've not seen this excellent piece since it came out, Nice reaction.
The movie "Argo" is loosely based on Ken Taylor and the Canadian plot to save the six Americans. The movie minimizes the Canadian involvement, alas.
Did I see Tyler’s eyes tear up a bit? I’m here for it! Despite everything, we are closely connected in so many ways. Here’s hoping it will last, in a good way 🇨🇦 🇺🇸
I'm so shocked this is the first time you hear of the Iranian hostage crisis!!!!
Tyler - I absolutely adore how enamoured you are with Canada! I'm born and raised in this great country of ours and, while I've been to many countries in the world, as Dorothy said in the Wizard of Oz - "There's NO place like home"!
You should give Canada a whirl some time! We'd love to give you a tour of our great nation!
Most of that 90% living very close to the Canada-US Border, are located in Southern Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec, and the Frasier Valley. Few are located in Alberta, Saskatchewan, or Manitoba
@11.30 On an VH-1 'Behind the Music' about Shania Twain, Some woman was talking about Shania, how wonderful she was, how wholesome, etc, and that she was the "Perfect American Girl, except she's Canadian..."
@17:25 That is about Canadians being Confident and Secure about themselves, that they don't have to make Brainwashed Spectacles of themselves
Today in 2024 it's 3.6B/day that the USA and Canada are trading, that's more than 2x the amount referred to in that vid. _When the USA gets a cold Canada sneezes ._ This is an expression we use to illustrate how both countries are interconnected. On a political level, we fear the reelection of Trump because it will have repercussions for us, without doubts. The CANZUK initiative may grow in popularity and gain more proponents if the US under Trump starts to impose surtaxes on goods from foreign countries.
Exactly, and when myself a Canadian makes a comment on some post about Trump and how bad it will be if he gets elected again, there's an onslaught of replies from Americans who say shut up, who cares about Canada etc... it just shows their ignorance of how much America relies on Canada especially when it comes to trade like getting our oil, timber, steel, water, tourism etc. They have no idea what the implications are, most Americans just live in a bubble and no one else matters.
I'm all for CANZUK, great idea.
President Trump demonstrated exactly where his priorities were during his term in office. That he put his own country first in many ways was not good for Canada. But I understand where his loyalties lay, and whether I liked it didn't matter one bit to Mr. Trump. OK. So when we have a real government again, that puts Canada's needs first, will I cry? No. We've seen Canada's reputation destroyed, and hundreds of billions of dollars sent overseas - although for what my MP has convenient amnesia. I don't have to like what Trumps' policies were. I also remember that the current President's very first act in office was to kill off the Keystone XL pipeline. Alberta is still recovering from Biden.
It was pretty offensive when Trump declared Canada "a threat to national security" so he could impose tariffs, when we have been their strongest ally for many decades.
The reason 90% of Canadians live so close to the US borders is mainly because Canada was first settled along the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes. Therefiore Southern Ontario has the largest popul ation in Canada. This region is extremely fertile as well making it a desirable place to live
and grow. Western Canada was settled much later. Of course, with most of Northern Canada being uninhabitable, it makes sense that Canadians would settle where the environment is warmer and condusive to growing crops. As an Albertan, i get a little tired of canadian content on these channels being based on the southern Ontario perspective. For example, bagged milk is only found in Eastern Canada but it is constantly mentioned in these type of posts. We tried bagged milk but it didn't last long. It was too weird for us level headed western Canadians.
I totally agree with you about the "bagged milk" stereotype! It irks me to no end and makes us sound ridiculous!! Same with "aboot" and "eh"! No-one talks like that, with the possible exception of Scottish immigrants and their strong accents!
@dmacdon29: 😂😂😂
Lmao Too weird, eh? The truth is when Canada changed to the metric system in the 70’s the biggest grocery store chain in Western Canada was an American company (Safeway) and they didn’t want to bite the cost of retooling/updating the bagged milk machines or dairy vats from imperial to metric so it was scrapped.
So it was Americans that decided for Western Canada. Your story was cool though 😁
Bagged milk is in 6 provinces (NFLD and Labrador were talking of ending it since people are drinking less cows milk) Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces.(NB,NS and PEI. So, you know, the majority of Canada. 😂
@@catherinetodd5163 : thank you! It’s always nice when FACTS enter a story! ❤
@@donnaleach8119Lol You’re welcome. If I remember correctly Alberta also didn’t have the population to sustain both.
It’s too bad because if the West changed to bag milk they would be saving 5,000 tonnes of plastic annually. And that’s the worst plastic polymers to the environment in milk production. The polymers in milk jugs and cartons. (Yes, milk cartons have plastic in them)
I won’t even talk about the water usage savings.
“Even when milk bags are disposed in a landfill or incinerated - and jugs or cartons are fully recycled - bags have the lowest environmental impact.”
OP’s post doesn’t seem to provide evidence of level-headedness as claimed. 🤔
We have a lot in common but also very different. Americans and their idea we are just covered in snow all the time. I live a kilometer away from that border crossing. White Rock. We hardly get snow in winter. If we do it's gone in a couple hours or a couple days. We've had a few real storms but not many over my 56 years. We know way more about America then the other way around. I tear up watching this. I'm so proud of my country and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. We've done a lot for other countries, especially America
I love this Tom Brokaw video - gives me the warm & fuzzies lol
Tyler, look up President Obama's speech to the Canadian parliament. Maybe it's not right for your channel, but it is interesting. That was back when Canadians liked an American president.
I think our current government likes the current American government too much. We won't do anything (even if it is the right thing to do) if the Americans frown on it. Not quite as independent a Canadian nation as I would like to see.
You’re just speculating. Probably based on your bias at that. Canada didn’t follow Bush into Iraq.
Canadian conservatives are to the left of the current USA president. They don’t have to follow, Canada as a whole is closer to the current president than the former one in policy and values.
@Carrie-so3ro I suspect that is due to having to work wit the Trump administration. Also Trump is running for President again. We have too much trade at stake to not be in sink.
@@shirleycampbell1026 We should NEVER be in a position where we cannot make our OWN decisions - just because another country doesn't like it - otherwise we are just a satellite "pretend" state who only can be superficially different.
It is true that we have a lot of trade with the United States - BUT that goes in BOTH directions. They would have a lot to loose in their relationship with us - as customers for their products, as well as the supplier to them of goods - both manufactured & raw materials AND all of our Canadians that cross the border & work for them in their country.
At the same time your point is valid in that we should NOT be required to put our own decisions up against (the potential) problems to our trade. This is the reason it is VERY IMPORTANT that we start encouraging & supporting more of our OWN industries, products & services - esp. in ALL essential areas AND diversify FROM the American focus & start putting & bringing in MORE TRADE from LOTS OF OTHER COUNTRIES. Not only a small number, but MANY. In this way we will benefit with many diverse goods that we don't currently get AND we don't have ANY NATION trying to pressure us politically - that a weak Canadian leader will give into (looking at our trade relationship as to what we could lose vs. what THEY could also lose by trying to pressure us.)
Have a good day/evening.
@@shirleycampbell1026 (I am sorry if this is the 2nd response you get from me. I am not seeing what happened to my 1st response, so I am replying to you again.)
We should NEVER be in a situation where we CANNOT make our OWN decisions as a nation - even if other nations don't like it. Otherwise, we are not a REAL nation & simply a satellite, fake country that is simply allowed to have superficial differences.
I am not an American & would NEVER want to be one. (Sorry, Tyler.)
While it is true that we have A LOT of trade with the U.S. - THAT is a 2-way street. THEY have a LOT of trade with us too & would have a lot to lose if we decided to give them up. (We are their customers as well as suppliers of finished goods, raw materials AND Canadian staff.) Yet, you are right that the WRONG Canadian leader would only look at what WE have to lose by upsetting the United States vs. what THEY would have to lose by trying to pressure us.
As an INDEPENDENT nation, Canada should NEVER be as dependent on ANY ONE (or even 2-3) nations as we are on our trade with the United States (& even China too.) This is just NOT SMART! This would leave us VERY MUCH a victim of problems & difficulties if anything went wrong with political pressure or just in the affairs of the United States in any other way - such as financial difficulties they have internally etc.
As a country, we need to encourage & support MORE Canadian entrepreneurship & businesses ESPECIALLY in ALL of our essential areas (& then make sure that these businesses support the Canadian consumer at the other end - the whole reason for it all in the 1st place.)
We also need to DIVERSIFY OUR TRADE - BIG-TIME - to A LOT more countries AROUND the FULL World. This way, Canadians will get to enjoy many more goods that we don't at this point get & at the same time it will lessen the impact any other nation (LIKE the United States) - has on us, no matter WHAT happens in their country or whatever political pressure they could try to exert.
This is really just the ONLY smart thing to do - IF we don't want to be someone's satellite & want to be a REAL country, making our OWN decisions.
I was at the 2010 Olympics. There was no lack of patriotism on the Canadian side...
The Peace Arch is similar to the International Peace Gardens straddling the border between Manitoba and North Dakota. Americans and Canadians can each enter the gardens (for a fee) and wander throughout it intermingling with each other. Upon leaving, they must pass through a border crossing only then.
I’ve been waiting for you to do this video!!
You really should do a video on the Iranian hostage rescue. It's pretty fascinating
I studied USA geography and had to know all the states and the capitals in high school. It was a test. We also had to know about the differences between USA and Canadian economies and politics and history.
Been wanting to see this reaction for over a year! I stopped recommending it but I’m so happy now!
If you wanna get back to Gander, there was a Broadway musical made about it, to help Americans get to know the story, “Come from away”.. great story to react to!
I beg your pardon,
The creators of come from away are, in fact, Canadian.
@@jurd3641 euh nope, not gonna apologize… I didn’t say a word about that
Tyler, if you haven't been already, please accept this as formal invitation to visit our country to the north. I think now you can be acknowledged as an honourary Canuck! Come and experience some of our hospitality, different food and vast scenery and culture.
Yeah and if you haven't been invited before ... Sorry! 👋 😂
Looking forward to watch the video(s) Tyler would make of that visit to our country!
He would have visited by now if he wanted to. He doesn't even live that far away.
@@margaretjames6494 Another difference between Americans & Canadians:
Canadians are more adventuresome than Americans
- maybe as MANY our main ancestors CHOSE to be here:
- our French "Courier du Bois" - very adventuresome from all accounts
- the "Filles du Rois"
- our early British public servants
- possibly? our Indigenous people when they chose to cross the Bearing Strait
- certainly all of those who arrived around the World Wars from many other places as well etc & since
- while American ancestors mostly DID NOT CHOSE to be in America:
- their Pilgrims
- who were escaping hanging for treason in a failed coup attempt
- (hmmm, sounding a little familiar)
- all of those who were British prisoners
- sent off to the British prison colony of America
(before Britain chose Australia for this purpose)
- the Americans who arrived as slaves (I do know that we had some as well)
It is probably BECAUSE of this difference that Canadians are always WANTING to try the newest food, the newest restaurant & travel around the world & experience the different cultures, & why we welcome differences in our own country.
In America, as videos show & Tyler himself points out:
- Americans DON'T like to go out of their comfort zone (change has historically been for bad reasons to them.)
It is hard for new foods & tastes & items (outside of technology) to get any chance in the United States as people are afraid or even just plain uninterested in TRYING things.
Many businesses have complained about this.
This would also explain why Americans seem to be the ONLY country that wants to have their OWN way of life & OWN things
- even when they ARE travelling in foreign countries.
This has been talked about by travellers encountering Americans in their own travels around the world (& I have also experienced this.)
None of this is ALL Americans of course, & while Tyler ISN'T your "average, typical American" in MANY ways - he STILL is in some
There is also the possibility that Tyler CANNOT travel, even if he wanted to:
- another job (he DID mention having one in a much earlier video)
& videos & Tyler have commented on how vacation time is frowned upon in many American companies
- he could have family responsibilities - to kids, a disabled sibling, a medically incapacitated parent etc.
- he could have medical issues himself that prevent travel or make it very difficult
These circumstances COULD change over time & if the offer to visit us isn't repeated every once in a while, Tyler may feel that his window of opportunity to visit us no longer applies.
Yes, it does, Tyler.
There will ALWAYS be an invitation open for you to come & visit us - even WELL into the future. Just let us know if you ever desire to (& can) come to Canada.
I live 3 miles from Peace Arch
Cross twice a month for gas
US is an amazing geographic country but Canada has it beat
Traveled to the 4 corners of the US excluding Alaska but Canada will be my go to country from here on
US is now a gong show
Tom Brokaw. Back when we could trust journalists
Haha no we couldn't...there was just no internet to expose the propaganda.
Brokaw is the biggest left winger out there. Fox News exposed him
Back then there wasn't social media with Russian propaganda convincing the gullible west that they can't trust their media as part of Russia's agenda to destabilize the west by creating chaos and division.
@@Veggamattic ACTUALLY - there USED TO BE an ETHIC in media - where it was EXPECTED that media would be TRUE (IMPARTIAL) REPORTERS of a situation, in a very heroic way - showing BOTH SIDES to every issue & NOT making any side seem better than the other. They would let the viewers HAVE A BRAIN & MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS as to what to believe. They believed themselves to be very heroic in this way.
- & they DID show the 2 differing sides in EQUAL, NEUTRAL light.
1st decline - "Editorials"
ALL reporters had to produce neutral pieces with each side given equal viewpoints & NO slanting & NO summary of the article or TV story skewing things.
The ONLY person allowed to have (or show) an opinion was the editor - in 1 article for the whole paper & on TV news - (this piece by Tom Brokow would be just such an editorial on TV)
At this time there was slowly the growing desire by reporters to BECOME the editor & be allowed their own say (& being neutral was seen as LESS heroic)
2nd decline - (late 80s - with "rag sheets" ie The National Enquirer, for one & in the early 90s in the mainstream media) - which hit BOTH print media & TV - BIASED NEWS
At this point (ESPECIALLY WITH BUSINESS OWNED MEDIA - MOST OF IT) - it became MORE about how many viewers/readers they could get & how many ratings (to make $ from advertising)
- RATHER than giving an unbiased, neutral 2-sided (boring) story
- INSTEAD - create controversy, be as biased as possible to get talk & readers/viewers & skew it as much in the interests & direction of the owner as possible (as required) - achieving 2 goals - controversy & $ + making sure that the business owners viewpoints are the ones pushed out to the public as the one to buy
This is why I very much am in favour of MIXED media
- BOTH the gov. funded sources
- that have to be more unbiased - representing ALL the views of ALL Canadians
- since it is our tax dollars funding it
- a source of information that we have a say over as we can complain to our politicians if we find that they are not representing the various people & views
& at the same time the business financed ones
- these give us often a different viewpoint for us to consider
(In this way we have a wider array of views available to us & a wider array of stories - business focusing on the ones that will create viewers vs. gov. news stories which will represent the various faces of our country & as NOT so controversial, will not create the same advertising dollars - but BELONG to Canadians to know about)
Yeah, that. And Cronkite. Who read the news without the conspiracy theories.
Proud canadien here . Thank you for this one 💗
Would be neat to see if the video was done today if the sentiment would still stand today. Great video tough and no need to apologize for pausing so much…that’s why we watch your video…for your reaction. If anyone has an issue with it, go watch the actual video eh…sorry.
You so feed our egos Tyler and thanks for that. I wish Americans would watch your channel as well because our countries are so intertwined.
It’s unfortunate that we don’t learn about Canada in school. Everything is only U.S. centered subjects. Which I can see why every country thinks Americans lacks cultural knowledge. If it’s not on our news or in our schools, we won’t know about other countries unless we travel there. If at all. Due to the fact that most American jobs give you about 2 weeks of vacation days for the whole year, we can’t really travel for that long
That can't be true probably depends on the company and how long u have worked. I have been with my company for 15 years and get 7 weeks paid vacation
I confess I've become beyond astonished by U.S. school education. I was introduced to a young lady not long ago, from New York, and she had no idea what the Great Lakes are, or where they are. Part of our common border, also some of the largest in the world. I wanted to say, "so what DO they teach you? But I shut up.
Two weeks is still enough time to see a bit of somewhere - better than not at all. It was all my mother got when I was little & we travelled all around the world - 1 place at a time. Of course we didn't see everything, but we got a taste of a whole lot of many places.
(Sometimes money can be a factor, but is less so when you are just going slightly above or below your border & watch & research for a bit - the cheapest travel methods & places to stay [that are still nice] & eat at local smaller places, often recommended by locals. My family would put money away from each pay cheque towards the annual vacation - but if necessary you could always save for longer. This may not be an issue for you anyways.)
Also, you may not have learned about Canada in school, but the internet (& RUclips) is filled with these videos - Tyler's alone - & it is good that you, on your own are taking the initiative to learn about your neighbour. Hello & welcome.
I watched that video so many times after first seeing it during the olympics here in Vancouver, and it still never fails to make me tear up 🥲
I’m proud to be a Canadian…and I’m proud to be America’s neighbour.🇨🇦🇺🇸
North Americans
You did it! I suggested you react to this video a few months ago - I’m so glad you did! One of my favourites
I think the reason why a lot of Americans don't know how much Canada does for America is because we don't brag we are quiet, polite. I apologize to this offends you😂🇨🇦♥️🇺🇲
Ahhhh... this was the video I was hoping you'd do sooner rather than later. So happy! (This video is referenced in the Broadway show "Come From Away" which you can watch on AppleTV. Highly recommend!)
Hello from Newfoundland! Love this video! You may just be my favorite American, love your sense of humor. I've always felt that Canada and the US have a special sibling sort of relationship. I loved visiting the US, and hope to come back again someday. ❤
