A difference between Canadian and American patriotism. Canadian patriotism is closer to Finnish than to American. We love our country but are aware that other people also love their countries.
CDavis1184XI don't think OP was saying all Americans are the same, but rather that American culture as a whole has certain unique qualities that make it instantly recognizable abroad. BTW, your butthurt is stilted. It's almost as if you speak it as a first language.
@CDavis1184XStilted?? At worse my criticism of the text would be it might be missing a comma, and perhaps a semicolon. It is unclear if it was composed on a mobile device, which can lead to challenges in grammatical composition.

Regardless, the message was still clear. These are RUclips comments, not doctoral dissertations. Try reading it for context to the discussion at hand. 🇨🇦
@@K1ddkanucklol Ah yes... the "certain unique qualities", as uttered in our patented passive-aggressive manner. Hehehehehe Canadians can famously tell someone to "go to hell" in such a way that they look forward to the journey!
At 3:50, you nailed it on the head. We don’t announce we are Canadians, but we WILL let you know that we aren’t Americans, not because Canadians generally hate Americans because we don’t. We just want to be known as ourselves if someone mistakes us for Americans. We definitely have “younger sibling syndrome” as it were! Haha. Mostly we are just quietly who we are.
CDavis1184X I used to ... about 35 years ago. I have forgotten the exact usage of it apparently. For some reason I thought it was used to separate 2 specific independent 'thoughts' where a comma wouldn't work. My apologies.
@CDavis1184X Since we are speaking of colons, have you not yet learned to remove your head from your colon before criticizing someone's grammar in a RUclips comment?
@CDavis1184X I find the challenge of "why don't you come teach me..." followed by childish name calling to be the type of behavior meant to convey a threat of physical violence if I were to show up in person. But... if it wasn't, and you need face to face language tutoring, I am available at a reasonable hourly rate, plus travel expenses.
CANADIAN: Our country is one of many great countries and I'm so proud to live here. AMERICAN: We are the greatest country in the world USA! USA! Generally speaking of course :-).
@@marlenelawson6407 my Canadian pride comes from who we are and what our core beliefs are. Our leaders change... we the people do not. If you cannot be proud of *our* country, even when you are in the minority, you may not understand the concept of "democracy".

LOL he is so right!! We are so quietly proud of our uniqueness. We know we are awesome we just don't feel the need to shove it down your throat. We are also more loved and respected around the world because we are not arrogant, rude or obnoxious about our patriotism. We also view our multicultural society as a strength not a weakness. We do not have a melting pot here, we have a mosaic made up of beautiful colours from around the globe. We don't demand conformity we appreciate cooperation. I hope that made sense.
Great analogy highlighting America: Melting Pot Canada: Mosiac We also know how to say "about", and that the beaver is a noble creature!! (Look for "I am Canadian" beer commercial 😂)
We can proudly display our flag on our luggage when we travel abroad. The arrogant looks at themselves and says, "I am great." The humble accepts the acknowledgment from others.
A couple people in Amsterdam when I was there a couple years ago thought I was American and got extremely unhappy I wanna say. Cursed me out and kind of got more physically aggressive and kicked a bike and a small sign on the sidewalk. I just kept my cool and let him freak out, when he got close enough to me like just a couple feet away I just said I’m not American my friend I’m a Canadian! That annoyed angry guy stopped and looked up at the building around us and just said “feck brother you should have said that before I was in your face “ I could have but no one should have to announce their nationality to a stranger in a crowded space and feel like they personally have to answer for anything that they your country or country’s political fuck ups. The Dutch mostly love Canadian people, keep that in mind if you find yourself in trouble while traveling there. Hahaha ✌️
Never heard of him but his comparison of Trump to KD did make me laugh!! Not sure I'll ever feel the same way about KD!! WE, Canadians don't typically wear clothes made of our flag! We will let you know we aren't American. We know we have a good country but we'd never brag about being the best.
Anthony Bourdain in Newfoundland. He also does Quebec City andMontreal. Check them out for a true representation of Canada east coast. Lotsa of Scottish accent lol. The best thing you’ll watch. Bourdain is incredible
I've heard of American tourists who pose as Canadians, so they will be treated better LOL. As a Canadian, I like to have a Canadian flag somewhere on me (like my backpack or jacket) so that I'm never confused for an American :)
I’m Canadian and I respect American patriotism and their freedoms that they cherish. Canada has less rights than US and are currently being stifled by the government.
canadian here and honestly i would take trump as our leader over trudeau. hell, i would take a plastic bag over trudeau. or a pile of shit. or literally anything that’s not him.
I don't care for Trudeau but I'd take him over Trump. The guy is a populist, a con man and would sell you in an instant. Who would you trust more with your wife, gf or mother? Trump or Obama? If you said Trump, you're lying to yourself. Also, it's spelled Canadian.

Americans are the ones who show up late, yet take all the credit. Canadians are welcome visitors throughout the world. We are not perfect, but our reputation speaks volumes.
A very enjoyable comedian. I've never seen him or watched his work before, although I don't attend comedy festivals in general. On the patriotism, I would equate it to going into a restaurant and having a bad experience. An American will complain loudly, draw lots of attention, and demand a discount on their meal.
