"We're not stupid, we know there's a good chance they're armed."
I was browsing Politifact this morning. Claim: It's easier to buy a gun than it is to adopt a dog from a rescue pound or get a vehicle permit - Verdict: Mostly true (the meter at about 8/10.
Charlie Ross so?
Charlie Ross It is the governments fault that the process to adopt takes so long, and licenses should be very hard to attain, considering that cars are far more deadly than guns.
Yup.... that’s what he said
The Gamsta «Cars are far more deadly than guns». _hmmm_
When he said delaying Canadians trips to a Target I flatlined.
too close to home man.
Black Girl Magic Fucking same
@T1 From the B She rose again from the dead just to write it...
Americans can come to toys R’us
I hate target so much
"ever ask a Canadian what they think of an American..." everyone laughs and every Canadian know exactly what everyones thinking
Oil, McDonald’s and merica
@@Shobs1 👍 You are very kind!.. and naive
@@Shobs1 there are actually 2 McDonald's. The Canadian company which is completely independent of the US one, and of course the US one. 2 brothers started it, after franchising the company was split when one brother discovered how *disgusting the US food laws were so he moved to Canada, got citizenship, and created McDonald's Canada Inc. True story.
* Laws like -milkshakes can actually be flavored powder + lard + water
- advertised meat products dont have to actually be made of 100% meat but rather a 60/40, 60% meat, 40% other organic compound like sawdust as one example....
-etc
None of that is legal in Canada lol.
For real though
True but Canada is basically passive aggressive communism
The funniest joke is that someone would willingly go to Winnipeg
or anywhere in canada for that matter , you know why most birds fly upside down over canada?
ain't nothing worth shitting on here in this U.S sewer system.lol
@@myazzizonfyr angry 'murican spotted
rex ferral Jesus dude, I’ve seen multiple of these hateful comments. What’s your problem with Canada? You clearly haven’t visited it ever in your life. So what’s the deal? Also, birds only fly down south in the winter, because it gets cold. That’s how migration works.
😂🤣😂
Winnipeg is beautiful...
In the summer!
Canadian Chris Pratt seems quite funny.
@Frumpysnorfls wait for real!?
For me he looks more like another Canadian, Joshua Jackson.
İ just thought to watch some chris pratt movie seeing that man ...
And I oop-
LMAOO
As an American, the funny thing is, Canadians probably haven't said anything about America that we haven't said about ourselves LOL
That's true. When us Canadian's bash America(ns), it's really only the Republicans, corporate politics, the gun laws (or lack thereof), the education system, and blatant racism we are talking about -- things my American friends also bash.
chapachuu the gun laws aren't lacking.
Mohannad Jaradat hey we gatta kick everyones ass... Even our own
Haha, no one can hate us more than we already hate ourselves ;~; (jk I love this country dispite it’s many flaws)
Mate, in America you can buy a fucking automatic gun before you can grab a cold one and sit down with your fellow Americans and watch the Bald Eagles play Football.
“We’re not stupid, there’s a good chance they’re armed.”
That had me dying!(figuratively)
Well, If you were really dying than you must've said your true opinion on Americans near one
Alright Ted Moseby lol
and it's probably true.
As an American, IT IS.... Keep that in mind.
Well most canadians like me are probably armed, just look at this guy
H E S T I L L H A S H I S A R M S
Canada for ever. I'm from New Zealand... Canada's cool cousin that you haven't seen in ages. :)
MrMatrixtech I believe you, I’d love to go visit NZ, beautiful country. ❤️
I would rather visit New Zealand then the US. Just from watching TV I seen enough of America.
Darby are you high?
@Brandi Bohannon Wow...Talk about being ignorant...
@Darby So, your goal in life is to insult people and entire nations for the fun of it? Umm... How about thinking next time before typing?
Dude's face reminds me of Chris Pratt.
I was lookin for this comment lol Canadian Chris Pratt
*Daniel Nunya Bidnezz omg yeesss 😭💀😂☠️🤣*
Chris Phatt..
Daniel Nunya Bidnezz a mix between Chris Pratt and nick offerman
Not at all...
I never understood this Canadians are nice thing until I left Toronto.
Jim Beam Haha. I know. I took a trip to Ottawa a little bit ago and having strangers say good morning to me and wave baffled me for quite a bit.
Not many Canadians in Toronto anymore lol, it's all immigrants. Not that immigrants can't be Canadian, it's just that Canada takes some sort of weird pride in how unCanadian we encourage immigrants to be.
That's so true , Toronto is so rough and tough place to live nowadays , can't wait to leave this shit hole ...
Toronto is the New York of Canada. Congrats on leaving.
not sure why anyone would want to live in TO.... omg horrible.. woman tired to go at my daughter for bumping into her!!!! Seriously? WTF .... Not what it use to be horrible place... I only go if I totally have to but generally I stay the hell outta there
Hey, here's a tip for any Americans here just in case you ever go to Canada. Go to Manitoba, you can't be made fun of if you can't find anyone
I always think that when people talk about Manitoba (I’m from B.C.) I once new I guy who went there to work on a bison farm and I haven’t heard from him since
I live in Winnipeg Manitoba it's the bummiest province ever.. I'm going to move one day I have too 😅.
@Ranger Bob if you like - 50°C with wind chill come on down and be my guest haha
Or Saskatchewan. You know your province is bad when you think Winnipeg is exciting 😂😂
i refuse to believe manitoba and saskatchewan have people.
Went to Victoria, BC once. Loved every bit of that trip. Canadians, please stay Canadians!
B.C. is so gorgeous and the the southern part is the warmest part of Canada all year. I have to go back again...
in a sense, Canadians are truly the "last line of defense" of politeness in North America. I hope they stay nice, and don't let us Americans drain whatever strain of humanity they have left lol.
SpetznazSamson Sorry, eh?
@@jackgoff69 we will, UNLESS YOU AMERICANS INSULT TIMMIES. otherwise we will be nice as we always are 😉
@@TSARMOTAF I live in Southern BC, it's hell in the summer, my city got the award as the hottest city in Canada
I totally agree with the border thing.
As a teenager I was going to a hockey tournament in Pittsburgh and when we got to the border crossing they asked our intentions in America and we told them. They then asked what we had with us and when we told them hockey bags they got all suspicious and started questioning us. When we held tight to our story/the truth and they finally relented, they said they were just being cautious as we could be smuggling six Mexicans in our hockey bags. Like yea, the Mexicans made it through the States, into Canada, and then were like "nope, too cold, let's go back to the States via a child's hockey bag."
hckyroxs Well that’s how they trick ya, I mean they could be hiding in that Kleenex box or the vacuum cleaner
To be fair, maybe the officer didn't know which direction Mexico was.
😂😂😂😂
Agent J 😂😂😂😂
hckyroxs I was asked at airport security what my intentions were. I said I was attending a sales conference at the head office in Jersey , they asked me what I sold and I replied gift bags and tissue. He then asked me what tissue and gift bags were used for 🤦🏻♀️ I then said “seriously” he still didn’t get it. 🙄
"We know there's a good chance they're armed." Lol!
That's where i almost flatline lol
I'm Just Here I actually died!!
Yes, we are...
I wouldn't bet against it
I am still worried about that statement eh ?
"You're just delaying the Canadians' trip to Target 😂😂😂😂"
It’s actually the Costco gas bar.
Target failed in Canada so that joke line he said wasn’t that funny
Mr. Saturday it’s supposed to be funny BECAUSE it failed. That’s the point, Canadians go to America to go to target. That’s the whole joke
@@RokkitAk That's cause the Targets that opened here replaced a better store (Zellers), and never had any of the good stuff, or good deals.
"I'M THE LAST LINE OF DEFENCE!"
Straight up snorted coffee out my nose.
"i'M tHe LaSt LiNe Of DeFeNcE!!"
😂😂😂😂😂
Wouldn't they technically be the first line of defence? :D
I finally clued into whY people write like that! Derp!
That one made me laugh!!
@@Tracey66 No! Because after you pass them, you're on your way to empty Trader Joe's and Target.
@@Tracey66 That's what makes it sooo funny! Cuz they DO say that! lol!
"Americans are benevolently ignorant about Canada, while Canadians are malevolently well informed about the United States.
" ~J. Bartlett Brebner
Probably helps when majority population lives along the border. While people like me are easily 1,000 miles away in socal.
@@tazepat001 But it’s not like most Canadians are just running back & forth to America, the reason Canadians know so much about America is because American media is dominant.
I'd say it's still just ignorance. I constantly see generalizations of 325 million people of various backgrounds and regional cultures.
Granted, most Canadians aren't actually arrogant douches like some are on the internet. Most are chill
@@WaukWarrior360
We are chill because we know that you may be armed, but get us alone.
Lol
Bro, canadians don't go to target dude. Target Canada failed miserably
Marcus Aurelius It be true, but Canadians love a good target, but Target tried to give us a turd rate version with no love or quality, they screwed it up royally !
Whenever I’m in the states I always go to target. We love target, just when it was brought to Canada, everything was super overpriced. It was fun, but we soon realized that most of the stuff they were selling could be found cheaper at other stores. We still love target though , and it’s a fun part of traveling to the states
We all thought it was going to be like the American Target. I took one look at the place and said to myself, wtf?! Imho, the Canadian Targets deserved to fail.
@@rissa4realz we love target cuz it reminds us of ZELLERS 😭
They took out Zeller's, it deserved to fail.
I'm an American living in Canada for the past 9 years. The first one minute and twenty seconds of this video is 100% accurate from my experience.
As a canadian living in Texas, I agree 10000000% Texans should be pissed cuz Canadians have stolen their rep.
We are not that nice. We just have basic social skills and politeness. Especially when traveling.
Already a huge.adventage
If only that was true 😂😂
Most Canadians embrace cultures. America thinks every other culture is wrong
Canada doesnt really have a culture compared to the united states
In think that they find us so nice because a big part of them are assholes to other people, not all of them tho, some are really nice
The question is, have you ever asked an American what they think of an American
+evillan
Man, if you asked 10 different people you'd get 10 different answers at this point.
im american and i think americans are fkn overly sensitive armed hipsters
Remember, the USA is a big country, and most of the twat waffles that hate it have never been anywhere else to compare it with... they are just petty little people that don’t know shit.
We're, for the most part, poorly educated, underpaid, self-destructive jerks filled with nihilism. Sorry.
We really like guns here in the mid west
Americans: We like you, we just don't pay much attention to you, because we're us.
Canadians: We don't like you, but we still fixate on your culture and politics.
Seems like a fair trade.
We are just so relieved we don’t live in America. We have to keep this top of mind so we don’t get lazy and turn into America. Keep your eye on the people you don’t want to become.
HILARIOUS, and as a Texan, "chances are they're armed" was the best line ever...😂
Crossing into Montreal we met a Québécois border guy who amusingly asked if we had anything to declare besides the “Noisy Terror Squirrel” (referring to my Pomeranian). We have referred to the dog that way ever since, mimicking his accent. Which was fabulous! 😂. I ❤️ Canada. They were great!
NOISY TERROR SQUIRREL
As a Quebecois I find this hilarious.....say hi to little terror squirrel
Lol being quebecois I can assure you that our border guards are pretty easy going, they mostly wave people through.
French Canadians in general have a great, particular sense of humour, so that story totally checks out XD
😂😂👍
Don't confuse politeness with niceness
Contrary to popular belief
Canada does have standards
no it has no standars it's a fuck fest of morons
Spot the American. 🙄🙄
Are they nice standards?
Whenever someone hating other person in comment section.
I'd be like 'this one must be from states.'
@@OhNoYouDidntDZ fuck you
You welfare goof
Living in Windsor in the early 2000s, I went across for a concert, and when Americans found out we were Cdn during the show, we were asked about igloos and polar bears. I explained I literally lived 20m across the bridge due East, they gave me a dumbfounded look... I had to them explain our weather is identical, and igloos are in the north... 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
That was kind of you not to tell them you really live a bit south.
@@charlieross-BRM Why would they. 90% of the Canadian population lives close to the Southern border. It's the norm to have milder temperatures.
i feel like they were drunk or on something and were fucking with you lol
And 80% of Americans can't find their own state on a map anyway.
It's sad how ignorant they are.
I'm neither Canadian or American, I'm from all the way from Finland but I still find this really funny. 😂
You have the best country.
Just delaying Canadians getting to Target ...😂🤣😂🤣❤️🇨🇦
Shelley Vanelli Canadians hate that store lol, they closed them all up a few years ago.
Yeah but some of us go to the states just for target.
Josh Cook not true we love it but they went to hard too fast.
Josh Cook that’s because they jacked up the prices in Canada. Everything was overpriced as fuck
empty shelves from the beginning what a crappy store .cold weather shut that shit down real quick gtfo here were only wear beaver canoe
“Say hey to Gary for me” that part was spot on!!
I just spent the day in Canada before driving back to NY and his description of the contrast between the Canadian and American border guards is on point.
I've never been more harshly greeted than by Canadian border cops.
Canadians do not like Americans and they let you know it starting right at the border.
Travel more then.
@@thomaswallace7337 All that pent up denial from not wanting to admit you are basically on your way of becoming the 51st state.
border cops are generally not the nicest... most people who were not able to make it into policing but wanted to be for that matter..
@@Nyx_2142 that would not quite happen oir economy is just fine and besides alberta would happen then all of Canada
I'm Canadian, and I've always found it the opposite for border security lol. Crossing the Ambassador Bridge into Detroit, the Americans are like "So where ya heading today? Nice nice, how long are you planning to stay? Got anything to declare? Great have a good day" but going back home, man, its like a polite interrogation about your entire life story.
Nothing beats the time where I was crossing into Detroit, sat in a car with my immediate family, and the guard like, leaned into the car, started intensely at me, and went "*Do you know these people*" like jesus christ mate that my mum
Well, HE doesn't know that! Doesn't need to be so intense, but still....
Hah, I crossed the Ambassador bridge a few years ago and got told to go back to my own country (I'm from Windsor lol)
LOL well that wouldn't have made for a very funny joke centered around stereotypes now would it? Have a good one Cassidy.
There is a reason why Alaska has 6 times the population of northern canada despite it having the same climate, and terrain.
I call BS on this. I'm from Windsor and cross the border frequently. Going to the US is sometimes a literal nightmare, never had any problems coming into Canada
I found its opposite at the border for me. Going south, it was easy going! But coming up back home, I got GRILLED. Canadians are serious at the border.
accurate
Lol. For me, it’s easy enough to get past the US border. Coming back and crossing the Canadian border, I usually just get waved through.
Same. We got grilled about why a package we had picked up the day before was in our trunk....
"Uh, that's where we keep stuff???"
if only they actually were and didn't let thousands of illegals cross into my country unchallenged
Yeap, 14 years ago my Mom , brother and I went on a trip, and my Mom lost her passport, but had 4 or 5 other pieces of ID, while my brother and I had everything. This was before the passport laws. On the way in it was fine, but on the way back with the Canadian guard it was a battle, he didn't want to let us back in, even though he had proof that my Mom was a citizen and had been there since 86 and my brother and I were born there and had Birth certificates, health cards, passports, etc.
eventually they decided to let us in after conferring.
Just to put it into perspective, the American guard took about 10 seconds reviewing us and wished us a great time and let us through without worry or hesitation.
I can only imagine it is worse now.
*you know you didn’t search for this video, but you clicked on it anyway*
Actually, I searched for it 0-0
I searched for it...
I... uh... did search for it lol
We love our American brothers and sisters, my forefathers came from USA. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸 and the rest of the world, we are all one. 👍👍👍👍
omg the border is so damn true. I've pulled up to the border to come BACK into Canada and they just laugh--I've had one full on just standing outside of their booth and ask me for restaurant recs! I have to basically offer up my first born every time I go into the US!
That's because you're Canadian. They have to let you back into your own country.
George nope they don’t.
It is because you’re from Canada. I’ve made the trip numerous times from the US and the Canadian border guards are crazy. Coming back is a breeze though. It’s amazing how that works.
Morgan Hamilton if your a legal citizen they do
Meh, I've had my car searched the couple times I've driven to Toronto. Canadians don't like black tinted windows for some reason.
"You got anything on you?"
"Yeah, snacks! Get out of the doorway."
Awesome! 😂😂😂
I'm not even Canadian but this was hilarious. This guy is great! Cheers from Sweden 😁
I work everyday on being a good Canadian to spread the ideals of being a nice person. I may fall 1000 times but always rise 1001 times. Time to not view others as bad but rather Love everyone for who they are and the potential they have!
Say hi to Gary for me 🤣
"You're just delaying Canadian's trips to Target" LMFAO
In my experience as a Canadian who frequently travels to the US, mainly by road, US border guards are friendlier and treat me with more respect than their Canadian counterparts.
I mean, I’m American and even after hearing this, still love Canada.
This guy is a type of Canadian that the rest of us are familiar with. Its a resentment of the US based entirely on jealousy. Its actually a compliment, really.
@@blane404 Interesting and compliment accepted but there really is no need to be jealous of the United States. This coming from a proud American who is equally proud to have Canada as a sibling and a neighbour. Canada is awesome. My Canadian brethren just be proud to be uniquely Canadian. True north strong and free.
@@blane404 I wouldn't call it jealousy, but we do define Canadian identity by how "not American" we are. I think it's more of a weird inferiority complex in the Canadian ethos. Without Americans we wouldn't really have a Canadian identity.
Brian Lane what do you think we are jealous of though? I can’t think of anything honestly, but I’d like to hear your thoughts.
@@blane404 No. We are not jelous of your backwards ass corrupt shit hole of a place
Jesus, all their laughs are synchronized.....
That's because Canadians are all clones of one really nice person.
Laugh track
Yeah - the fake laugh track kind of ruins it.
Well duh... Its like that in all comedy show because the crowd is paid to laugh at specific times. The US does the exact same thing a great example is when Bethesda announced what would be in Fallout 76 just before release... Now people are so aware of that crap that the game is now being called Fellout 76 or the fall of 76.
"You got anything on you?"
"Yeah, snacks, get out of the doorway." 😂😂
As a Canadian AND an American, this was hilarious
@@personincognito3989 The U.S does nothing against dual citizenship though.

I think it's unfair that you think most comments sections are like this.
Personally, the Canadian side has always given me a hard time. The American side was chill
Agreed! Way more shit going to Canada 🇨🇦 than coming home 🏠 🇺🇸
well Ive been bitten by a dog in us thats why I like Canada for than America, dont get me wrong I love America too except for the dog that bit me
Canadian politeness is a façade. They are superficially polite and when they say "have a good day", they do it because they are programmed to do so . Two characteristic examples : 1) yesterday on the bus a frail Chinese lady was struggling to get her walker on the bus and the bus driver standing right next to her would not lift a finger to help her ,telling her instead " come on you are strong " and 2) I was going to my lawyer's office ,a man I had paid $6000 to do a job for me . I took 2 buses and 2 subways and walked 2 kilometers to get there . Upon arriving there ,I asked to use the washroom and the secretary flatly refused to let me do so . I begged her as I was really in the need to do so but she wouldn't let me . That is Canadian politeness in action .
im aussie, had a canadian teacher for 12 months...
best year of my life! wassup mr coombs ✌🏼
Holy shit as a Canadian I can confirm that Coombs has to be the most Canadian last name that ever existed 😂😂
this is so cute
I remember when crossing the border was no big deal and we used Canadian money interchangeably with American money.
When I visited Michigan back in 2012 I was paying for something and I didn't have any American pennies and they accepted Canadian pennies (which aren't used anymore because it costs more to make them than what they are worth).
tbh the American people at the border are so much nicer, the Canadians are so strict. I am a Canadian...
I remember feeling like I was in some kind of interrogation scene in a movie when I (an American) crossed the border into Canada...
Agreed. It's as if the most miserable Canadians are identified in childhood and steered into working in the customs and border agency. I've travelled all over the world and the worst experiences have been with Canadian border officials.
@@ladyveracity same!!!!
You're just being nice by saying that. 😂
we used to go to canada all the time before you were required a passport. my friend decided one day to just reply in with a smart ass remark as he was entering the border.. they said. "pull over here".. they gutted his fucking truck, threw all the seats and cushions on the ground. cut up his seats looking for drugs. didnt find shit. basically ruined his trucks interior.. -- we'd come back from canada all fucked up.. hung over, passed out.. and we'd have to respond to the border agents with where are we from.. we'd have mustard and ketchup all over our faces from eating hotdogs we bought from street vendors trying to sober up.. .and we'd just grumble out our citizenship. they'd let us right back into the usa. no questions asked about the mustard and shit on our faces... my friend literally had mustard all up in his nose and it was just hilarious because we'd just answer and pass back out. luckily our friend was driving and would be sober. man. we did some stupid shit.... we'd always get threatened if one of us wouldnt wake up from being passed out.. but they'd be patient until our friends hit us enough to wake us up to answer the citizenship question.
Crossing into America they didn’t even check our car, going back to Canada they did a full search of a car with 4 kids and two parents
Cross border shopping is a big thing - if you say you don’t have ANYTHING to declare th y are going to pull you in.
Yeah they somehow think you’re transporting in Armory, and are only there to smuggle guns. Wish they’d start subjecting Canadians to the same kind of searches coming to the States.
Thats soo Canadian. Using 2 parents and 4 kids to search your car at the border.
"Last line of defense?". . . . where's de' fence?
'dere ain't no fence oot dere, biy! We's just painted onna dem red lines a meter wide, across the whole length of da border, eh... an' we told dem 'Muricans ta stay on dere side, eh. dat's aboot it.
As someone who was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and now lives in the deep South… The stereotype is real, and accurate, at that.
🇨🇦 ❤️
Born a dual citizen for all the Americans threatened by this comment and about to bash it 😂. *should have prefaced comment w/ that
I ran away in in the seventies to Canada. Told them I was 18. Used my high school card (no photo) as ID. Hung out with them for a while then went and hitched a ride to Vancouver. Everyone was super nice!
:O do you like it here?
As an American, finding out how Canadians actually feel about us is like finding out that your best friend since childhood secretly hates your guts and talks shit about you when you’re not around.
Yea, they are vicious and backstabbers.
As a Canadian in Burlington Ontario I found going to winnipeg a great experience cause the people there are so much nicer. GTA is a little more like a city and while they’re alright, I find Americans can be a lot more warm hearted too ... I love that
SO TRUE!
Emma MacGregor
All the canadians I know ( including myself ) don't have much nice things to say to Americans and we do have that accent.
Emma MacGregor ....hate crossing boarder
This was the complete opposite for me at the border going into Vancouver. I had a huge line and they made me get out of my vehicle and ran my complete background check and even brought up my juvenile record a brandishing a weapon however coming back in to America there was no line and they asked me one question which was whether or not I had alcohol or tobacco which I did and they said OK
that means as both countries share info that your record came up on the computer in front of them....................
Lol. They did the same thing to me! Sighting my "nervousness" as suspicious. They couldn't find anything but the border agent tried really hard. Lol. He reluctantly let me in. When I was going back to America, they only asked if I brought anything or seen anyone.
Lol Im Nigerian Canadian and they're pretty nice and polite here...IN GENERAL. Jerks are everywhere no matter the country. When I went to Chicago (southside), I held open the door for people and they looked at me like I was so weird. Nobody did it for me or anyone else tho. Lol they knew I wasn't from there.
Pre covid a friend and I went through Canada without our passports, we just told the border guard we were going shopping in Abbotsford. Somehow that worked. I'm American and I had more trouble getting back into my own country 😅
As an American citizen, raised here my guy... I have Canadian family members and that's how I always knew that Canadians weren't nice... shit my cousins are devils and so are all their friends... maybe it's a Toronto thing?
It's totally a Toronto thing. I'm from Alberta and flew to Toronto for a few days for a concert and they're the biggest dicks ever.
Well they’re family, what do you think? That they will be nice? Yea no
It is definitely a Toronto thing. There are some other pockets of rudeness throughout the country, but Toronto tries very hard to be "America North" and they have decided that being rude is part of that.
Hackingspartan299 I’ve been there they are actually really fucking nice.Y’all judging them for no reason smh...
The Bear me too!
I drove from Nebraska to Alaska a couple years ago, so I had to cross the American/Canadian boarder multiple times in a short amount of time, and I found the Canadian boarder control bros to be way more uptight than the American ones.

We aren't nice inside we just express our selves nice on the outside
Or sometimes the opposite
About right
@@darknesswolfx7205 eh yea very true too
@@darknesswolfx7205 true facts
I’m American and live in Michigan. People in Michigan go to Canada all the time for alcohol at the duty free, my mom went about a year ago with my little sister and they stopped to get a pie on there way back to America. When they reached the border a Mountie detainees them for 4 hours because they where trying to sneak fruit across the border.
@mikedoesseo I agree. Though there must be a tiny minority of canadians that feel more like Americans then canadians, are pro-american and love the United States and hate canada. An example are the Canadians that fought on the side of the United States in the American revolution and the war of 1812.
They arn't Mounties. It's CBSA
Wait, A) it wouldn't be a Mountie, B) why would they be stopped by Canadian's when they were entering the US, Americans handle those entering the US?
That's a hilarious story, but yes as somebody pointed out, on the way to the US, the people at the border are American. On the way into Canada, they're Canadian
@@anarchistatheist1917 Haha that's a really bad example. For one, Canada wasn't even Canada at that time. Secondly Americans fought against Amercans waaaaay more lol. A better example is Albertans who feel betrayed by the rest of Canadas ignorance and jealousy of Alberta's oil patch. Though they love Canada, they feel like they'd be treated more fairly by an American government. I'm not sure absorbing canadas richest natural resource province into the US economy is the best idea ever, but it's kinda sad that it's become something to consider.
Well that's how borders in the EU are (for EU citizens). I mean, in the few cases where you have to stop, the "border police" officer just waves their hand like "Go on already, i'm tired of you people.". In the other cases you're left guessing "Wait, are we still in Germany or is this the Netherlands already, somebody look at that sign over there!".
Aku Jo for real. I went backpacking, and getting into each country was so interesting. To get into Albania, we had to bribe the guards, to get into croatia was just a normal border exchange, and then I didn’t know whether I was in in Austria or Germany for three hours at one point. Then to get into England I had to show proof of purchase for my hotel, proof I was a student, tell them what my job was, and show them an itinerary (so it was lucky I made a rough one up weeks before). The borders are a mess
I’m not even an EU citizen but I’m pretty sure (it was a few years ago) I once went to France from Switzerland and they didn’t even ask for passports
Some information for you confused people: look up the Shengen Area.
@@umakarunakaran4626 The central main countries (France, Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Italia, Belgium) mostly don't even have border controls, because we have sth. called the "Schengenraum" which means only the countries which have borders to not-"Schengenraum"-countries have to control their borders. The countries in the center of Europe are beginning to implement border control again though, because of the huge immigrant wave we had a while ago and the border countries just completely broke down under that.
Crossed a small Rhein bridge in Switzerland once and found ourselves in Germany. Swiss girlfriend explained we just wanted to see where the bridge led and the German inspector allowed us to turn around and drive back into Switzerland. Probably happens all the time.
My favorite part about being American is that you can't hurt my feelings when you make fun of me, I've heard it all.
Had a Canadian in TO give me some lip like he wanted to start a fight, I told him not only would I kick his ass, but being an American I wouldn't apologize afterwards. That seemed to resolve his major malfunction.
This comedy bit held up so well honestly
This bit was really good, didn't expect that
Damn Canadians be so cold.
Erck Bill not all 😒
heh
@@jask5357 You get it ?
I see what u did there. lol

Dude it’s the internet, don’t take it seriously. Plus, we Americans are the butt of most jokes in case you haven’t noticed.
The huge difference that I notice in Canada vs. America is that in Canada, if you're going to cross the road and you're a good 15 seconds away from the crosswalk, all of the cars will just.... stop. They'll wait for you and you'll do the whole 'you go' 'no you go' routine and then awkwardly jog across the road, feeling bad that you delayed about 15 cars. When I went to America maybe one car would stop for me the entire time I was walking, but all of the other cars would just keep going. Mind you I'm from the Maritimes, so out west might be different, but it was so weird to me.
out west is the same but GTA not so
As a Canadian myself we are a very polite bunch of people we just don't like the unnecessary ignorant remarks from the Americans. And when Americans say the wrong thing to us Canadians we will stand up for ourselves 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
The wrong things like... Maple syrup is inferior date syrup? 🤔
@@margaretwilson8736 Apples and oranges
Overly proud, bigoted Canadian sums you up better.
I figured Canadians were so nice because Americans are their first line of defense.
The thing is, we have good diplomatic relations with everyone, we don't pick battles with others, so we don't really need your defense. Who are you defending us against? We all know it is you who will end up invading us for our resources in the future. No one else.
@@sarah7589 Well, maybe Russia as the artic melts
@@sarah7589 Well, just about anybody can say that. Germany is relatively quiet, doesn't mean somebody still doesn't wanna stop shit. Basically, all NATO backed countries help other NATO backed countries. It's not against a particular offense, and even if Americans wanted to invade, well, that wouldn't make sense. In any scenario.
The U.S is like that kid who avoids getting bullied by being the bully. Canada is like that kid who avoids being bullied by trying to not be noticed.
...against whom? Unlike USA, Canada actually learnt its geography in school and knows it only has two other countries _on the continent_ . Duh.
I found out I was part Canadian and I told my friends. My bestfriend laughed and told me it made so much sense
Alberta’s nice although we have Karens here
I use to think Canadians are so polite and nice as everyone use to say. Until I watched Trailer Park Boys...
That's basically every small town throughout the colder quiet regions
That was great! Hope to see more of this guy!
The only boarder patrol that gave me a hard time was a Canadian female.
She over reacted with her “gotcha moment” when she asked “how long I would me staying in Canada” because I answered “just that day” (we were in Seattle and I wanted to check out out Vancouver. I stated laughing because she was being so curt with me. She respond how “this was very serious business, there is no fun and no laughter”. I said “yes I’m having fun, you are the one working, I’m on holiday”.
Oh my God I love this😂
Borrowing is a different concept in the US.. its called theft.
Lmao, when the crowd started laughing at his questions, I lost it. 😆
Fun fact: Vancouver, one of the so called “nicest” cities has a deep history of racism.
There were numerous race riots in the previous century fuelled by anti-immigration sentiments, particularly against Japanese and Chinese. The city government enabled this action and provided the rioters with food. Japantown and China town had to literally barricade themselves to prevent bloodshed. Like the US, Canada was only recently a “nice” country.
Odin son “like the US” helll nnnaaaa
Very true...sadly
The US isn't, though? You haven't checked the news the past month, have you? Let alone hearing about anything past that. It's been rocky.
Not bashing, just pointing out the rotten eggs really ruin the whole batch from an outside perspective. And there has been some disgusting ass eggs lately.
The same US that is building a wall to seperate itself from Mexico and is currently getting burned down by BLM protests? Yeah sure bud
The past is past. Don't forget it, don't repeat the nasty parts.
Ahhh... this was so good! I needed this for my Friday morning! 🇨🇦👍🏾👍🏾
Hey😊. Im not a lumberjack or a furtrader... and i dont live in an igloo or eat blubber...or own a dogsled and i dont know jimmy sally or suzy from canada but im sure there really really nice😁. I have a prime minister not a president...i speak english and french...not american and i pronounce it about not a boot i can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack😊.
I believe in peace keeping, not policing, diversity, not assimilation,
And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal. A touqe is a hat a chesterfield is a couch and its pronounced "zed" not "zee". "Zed"!.
Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey!
And the best of north america!
My name is zeena!
And i am canadian!😊😊
Our experience is totally the opposite! We go through Sumas to get to BC a lot and the US side is generally laid back while the Canadian side are generally strict.
Really? Maybe you got Canadian-Americans on the Canada's side and pot-heads at the USA's border.
I’m an American and I was dying laughing at every single one of these jokes. You gotta be able to laugh at yourself. Lol
Guys this was true about the Canadian border back in the day, like the 1980's, 1990's. But times have really changed. Now if anything you will find the American side (depending on the person) a little less hassle. Years ago I worked a job that required me to cross the border every single day. So I would enter and exit at the same times. Most of the time I would hit the same folks. So my crossings would be "expedited" because they knew who I was. Given the added security now the last few times I have crossed have been a equal share hassle on both sides. With maybe the Canadian side being slightly worse. I can't imagine trying to cross daily now.
Anyone who thinks Canadians are the nice ones have clearly never worked retail in Canada. You should see how angry Canadians can get over popcorn, it's ridiculous!
Lol
His third person voice reminds me of Bill Burr
Im a candian and I dont think that we're really diffrent in terms of politeness from any other country I think its just because we're next to the americans
As an American, I find this hilarious!
Oh! I wanted this to keep going! So funny.
Loved it! Loved his imitation
True story My friend and I thought heading south for buffalo wings in Buffalo was a good idea ..we get to the border Where you guys headed ? Buffalo for dinner ...Really? for dinner why? Because we want to try real buffalo wings from Buffalo and look around ......At this point my friend ashes his smoke out the side of the window and it hits the pavement ...Sir I will remind you while your in the USA not to litter ...Ahh hmm OK? Im refuring to your cigarette ..oh ok ...Thanks? ...Oh you think your funny??? Sir let me ask you something..(She was about to give the I'm border patrol i can deny you from entering) ..Sir what do you do for a living ? ..I'm a Comic ...OK mister comic pull your car into Lane number 2 we shall see how funny you are ...We pull into lane 2 and 3 officers get us out and look at the car while a 4th starts to ask where who what why etc ...So why were you giving my officer a hard time ? Officer I was not giving your officer a hard time I answered all her questions to the best of my understanding ...Well when she asked you what you did for a living why did you tell her your a comic...Officer my name is on the rooster on the piece of paper with the name Yuk Yuk's comic act July 10th which is a comic show ..As i get paid to be there and stand on stage for 5 mins that would make me a comic It was your officer that got lippy All we want is wings ...Sees the flyer has a chuckle gets on the radio she comes walking over 10 mins later ...sir i apologize and walks away ...Supervisor says .. Every time shes in the booth we get a complaint This is going to end up being her last day boys ..enjoy your wings
That's good of the supervisor at least.
Some border agents just like to mess with people from both sides going in and out.
To be fair she probably had to deal with others being an asshole.
+Hell's Guard
Most likely but if they have at least one complaint every time she's on duty then she's not doing something right.
I’m not here to comment on border control. Take it from someone who lives in buffalo. The food that originated somewhere is never best in the place it originated. Buffalo wings are not best in buffalo. Maybe around buffalo if you go to little family owned shops about 30-40 minuets away from the city but inner city wings are gross.
I just went through the border and this couldn’t be more true. The American questioned and grilled us repeatedly asking “if we gave a stranger anything or if a stranger gave us anything”then asked about my job, where it’s located, how long I’ve been there and where I went to uni. The Canadian side I got asked if we were having a good day and went on with our day.
Dude sounds like Bill Burr's standard women impersonation
