    "Canada is less eventful compared to America" I think what you're thinking is that Canada is less problematic lol

      Nicole (W)Right Exactly. Boring is underrated. Most people would kill to have boring. Eventful means there's sh*t to deal with. Uneventful means you get to read a book or have a nap or go sit in the park _instead_ of dealing with sh*t.

My teacher was born in Quebec, he teach me many things about Canada, talking some jokes. He and his lecture is very interesting ! I would like to go to Canada someday, and to communicate with Canadians in fluent English, making new friends there !

    It's funny they didn't mention the stereotype that we apologize or say sorry for everything. Could it be because Japan is so polite, therefore that would be normal? I'm actually curious.

      @n.b.3521 6 лет назад +61

      I lived there for 8 years. You are right - I don't think it would strike most Japanese people as different because they also say "sorry" a lot. My American friends used to make jokes about whether a Japanese person or a Canadian person would win should they get into an "I'm sorry" battle.
      As an aside, however, we're a lot more likely to say "excuse me" or tap someone on the shoulder to get past people in crowded situations. "Excuse me" (or tapping) is considered a bit rude in Japan because you're asking someone else to move. Japanese people will often quietly try to get around other people, fail, and end up bumping them. Of course, they would then apologize profusely, but it used to drive me insane!

    • @lemons2300
      @lemons2300 5 лет назад +18

      Canadians, like Americans, are generally polite out of friendliness, which is very different from the non-confrontational politeness in Japan. Japanese society, for the most part, treat politeness and friendliness as two separate entities.

The follow up would always be ehhhh do you put it on everything?? They meant like burgers and fries and all that jazz. But I don't. Apparently there was a TV programme that featured a Canadian who put it on burgers and sausages and everything in between xD

    Lol American and Japanese thoughts on Canada seem to be pretty much the same. Maple Syrup, nature, cold, moose, bears, nice people. Negative stereotypes uh... More bears? That lie they call bacon? Strange mixes of French and English? Universal Healthcare? Idk.
    I've been to Canada a couple times and yeah the people there are really chill. It's nice. Also they don't fool around with their maple syrup, it's pretty great. I'd love to go back and see Niagara Falls someday.

      @sophiespice 9 лет назад +7

      Alyssa Schiffman Nothing wrong with universal healthcare! Think of it like Costco...the more people who sign up, the lower the prices we can get on things we need. And everyone needs healthcare. Maybe some people would prefer to have private healthcare through their steady job, but employment trends are changing. Young people are switching jobs more, working for smaller companies and start-ups which don't necessarily provide healthcare benefits. I would argue that if the US had universal healthcare, there would be more room for innovation. People entering the job market (or working people who want a change) could work at small innovative companies without fear that getting sick would bankrupt them. Just my thoughts!

    I'm laughing at everyone saying "cold".

The week before last we were hotter than Jamaica and California, which isn't uncommon in summer. Plus a few of our provinces are dealing with brutal wildfires (in the hundreds) from all of the extreme heat and dryness, and we're having to fly in firefighters from Australia to help out.
    I don't even think it snowed more than one day here in the past two winters? Seriously guys, not all of Canada is cold. Plus British Columbia is gorgeous.
    Also, I'm dying at the bad stereotype is that we have nothing here! I'm more than happy to pretend we're all forest with no cities so we can stop overpopulation :P

      A lot of Canadians would like to see Trudeau move to Japan.

    Loved all the reactions and that everyone had fun with the answers. I was impressed with how much they knew about Canada. I have been to Japan and loved it too. The people were very friendly, it was very clean and the food was amazing. Would go back for a visit in a heartbeat and it's still on my list of things to do. Yokohama was stunning!

    I love this video. I hope these kids will come to see my beautiful country someday.

    Their opinion of Canada truly warmed my heart but I'm a bit embarassed that our most recognizably Canadian exports are justin bieber and Avril Lavigne
