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
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.
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...
"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
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?
"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 ?
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
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
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!
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.
"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_
"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.
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.
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
“Say hey to Gary for me” that part was spot on!!
HILARIOUS, and as a Texan, "chances are they're armed" was the best line ever...😂
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
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???"
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.
This guy is telling the truth. I was trying to go visit my cousin in america, but at the border I didn't have my passport. I actually forgot it at home and when I told them that they took us somewhere. Don't know where but it was only us and a whole bunch of police with guns. We were only four people there was like ten of them. On the way back to canada I did not have that problem. It took them 2 seconds and then they let me go in.
We love our American brothers and sisters, my forefathers came from USA. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸 and the rest of the world, we are all one. 👍👍👍👍
"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'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
*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
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.
"You got anything on you?"
"Yeah, snacks, get out of the doorway." 😂😂
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!
"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.
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
Tip: If you want nice Canadians, don’t go to Toronto.
A Guitarist if you want find Canadians, don’t go to Toronto
disagree - friendliest city ever - you're probably not talking to a local. Probably a 905'er
A Guitarist or anywhere in South Ontario really. I’ve lived in metropolitan areas down here for all my life and I fucking hate everybody
@@midnitest0rm you just seem like a unpleasant person 😂
or Saskatchewan unless you wanna be bombarded by crazy conservitives
If I had a nickel for every hasty generalization comment made about whole swaths of diverse people in this comment section, I’d be a rich dude.
Maybe in $ CDN. But try converting it to Euros.
It perfectly reflects this "comedy" routine.
There are only 3000 comments lmao
I think it's unfair that you think most comments sections are like this.
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
good morning! have a lovely day!
love from canada!
This bit was really good, didn't expect that
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 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).
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?
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.
This comedy bit held up so well honestly
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.
That was great! Hope to see more of this guy!
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.
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.
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.
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
Borrowing is a different concept in the US.. its called theft.
His third person voice reminds me of Bill Burr
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
Ahhh... this was so good! I needed this for my Friday morning! 🇨🇦👍🏾👍🏾
THE *ACCURACY*!! I went to a concert in Detroit and when I went to cross from Canada into Detroit the U.S. guard was like “why are you going by yourself?” Then he called a second officer and they started looking through the trunk of the car and then they let me go. Coming back into Canada the next day the Canadian guard asked me who I went to see and if I had a good time. He didn’t ask for my passport or anything, he just waived me through. 😂
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.
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
Dude sounds like Bill Burr's standard women impersonation
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.
Man he does a great Bill Burr impersonation 🤣
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.
Dude, he’s right about the target thing. When school started every year my family went to target to get stuff in America because it was cheaper.
I once tried to drive into North Dakota from Manitoba, during the winter months. They turned me around, said that the weather in North Dakota was too dangerous for travelling. I looked at the agent, and was like, "You're telling me to go back to Manitoba, because it's too cold, and there's too much snow and wind, in North Dakota?"
She said, "Yes."; and I said, "I understand. Thank you, officer, and have a happy New Year."
🇨🇦
Hillarious Rob!
I am legally blind so I have my white cane with me in the airports. When my husband and I were flying out of Miami, the border security guy looked at me and asked me ‘ do you normally fly with your doctor?’ I was stunned and didn’t say anything. He then look at my husband and asked my husband ‘ do you normally fly with your patients?’ My has been paused for a second then replied ‘ only the pretty ones’ and slapped my butt in front of him. The other Canadians behind us were howling with laughter. I still think that border security guy thought that we were doctor and patient.
Me: reads the title: Hold up
During a lunch break from business meeting in Canada, 3 Canadians were talking trash about the U.S., in front of several Americans, including how the U.S. was "stealing all of their Weather News Meteorologists". I have noticed that Canadians know much more about the U.S. than Americans know (or care to know) about Canada. They seem to be competitive and feel inferior, and will say things about what Canadians have invented and which celebrities are Canadian. It's so strange. So much for the theory that Canadians are so nice! By the way, as an American, I know that our country is a mess in many ways and that no country is perfect. I'm just being honest about my observations and personal experience.
@@WheresYourToque I live in Texas, from Canada. Canadians have a HUGE inferiority complex. And yes! there is a huge difference between being polite, and being genuinely nice. Canadians are polite.
Going in US by Abbotsford into Wash state was a formality. Coming back we got stopped and searched. Weed wasn't legal in Canada then, but weed dispensaries are in the nowhere-land just after the border, north of the State, really just for us. There is nothing else there.. lol Maybe that's why. They put my things in the electronics sniffer and I waited looking at them trying to figure out the tailgate of the 4Runner.. I knew what it was from the start, a big and hilarious loss of time.
As an American, I actually heard it's more difficult going to Canada. My dad was going up there to help another company with a problem they had and he was told to lie to the Canadian Border Guards because they would've told them they don't need help from Americans
as an American I've crossed the Vancouver border probably 20 time always get messed with by the USA border security, never met a border official with a souther accent either.Canada your not that nice or polite get over yourself. this guy is funny
Got a couple of misdials from Americans trying to contact their relatives in Canada, they were always so polite and nice. Weirdly most of them had a southern drawl.
I've been to that party he describes at the end. Arrived and got interrogated about what I'd brought before she'd let us in.
The venue the party had been planned for had closed due to fire super last minute and she was clearly VERY uncomfortable having people in her home.
This is hilarious. I live in Oregon and just yesterday I was at the laundromat and a man was wearing a side arm. What surprised me was that I wasn't even surprised by this. Yes, he's right, we might be armed.
"Yeah, snacks, get out of the doorway!" The Canadian version of "Dave's not here."
I am American and I approve of all of this! LOL
I have never thought about it that way. Im an american and we just are not taught many things on Canada but i have always thought they were nice. And then he said that Canadians say bad things about us (they are not the only country so it really isnt a big deal). So now my brain is malfunctioning. So does that mean we are the nice ones? Even we say we are morbidly obese, ignorant in geography, and just really mean. I am confusion America explain!
Cant think Of a name lol Canadians are nice it just depends where you go. This guy made a good few sweeping generalizations and since it’s comedy it doesn’t really have to 100% truthful. I wouldn’t say Canadians make fun of Americans, but rather we are absolutely perplexed with you all. Like you argue about gun laws and feminism and gay marriage when all that has been sorted in Canada for decades
Cant think Of a name honestly we really don’t make fun of you much, and when we do it’s more making fun of how patriotic you guys can get than actually being mean
What do you mean its arkansaw
Canadians are not as nice as the stereotype.
o.o
Don't kill the dream man 😂😂
Sorry about that. You some actual maple syrup? We got reserves full of the stuff in Québec.
Fuck off! we are so...
Most of the ones I know are..but I'm From Prince Edward Island. It's not a big hardened City. ;)
As if what they’re doing to their indigenous population didn’t tell you that already.
I don't know if you're looking in from the outside, but the indigeneous problem in Canada is an extremely complicated one. There's a lot of politicking going on from both sides of the argument, money is being allocated but it isn't getting to where it's needed, etc. It's nasty, nobody's getting what they deserve, and the whole situation isn't improving but at the same time there's tons of actors involved and not all of them want it to either. It's a shame.

If you're talking about America then, yes there were a lot of problems between Americans and the natives for a while but know a days the relationship isn't that bad with most natives being full-citizens and able to freely practice whatever beliefs they have.
If you're talking about Canada then, though I am not personally familiar with Canada or it's history, I have heard some interesting stories from it. Not about the natives that lived there but from those of French ancestry, I heard there is a faction in Canada that wants it to be populated only by french speaking people so if you have french speaking parents then you are forced to attend a french school.
@@gundam2600 Almost, but not quite right. I live in the province you're talking about: Quebec. It isn't as bad as you're thinking. I'm not sure about the aboriginal situation but the thing you're talking about applies mainly to immigrants. It's called Loi 101 and basically, unless your parents have studied in English schools in Quebec all the way to high-school, everyone has to attend school in French. What it does is that it forces immigrants to send their kids to French-medium schools till the end of Highschool. Once high school is over, you can study in whatever language you prefer. A lot of immigrant kids choose to go for English-Medium Cegeps. But they can still choose to attend French-medium ones. I, for one, find that it is a useful law because, in Quebec, unless you know French, you just can't make it. This law may be controversial but, in the end, it's been more helpful than many immigrants like to admit.
If Canadians are so nice then all my neighbors here in Canada must secretly be American...
LMAO this guy is hilarious 😂😂
Love it! I go to Canada for work often. He’s spot on!! 😆
So funny. I crossed the border in 1984 from the U. S. All I needed back then was my birth certificate and answer a couple of random questions. I forget what they were. But they let in. Very friendly.
My wife is Canadian, every couple of years we go back and I always think it’s funny if you ask any Canadian what they love about Canada, it is impossible for them to Answer without drawing some comparison to the United States. In most cases, they come right out of the box with it, “well, unlike our neighbors to the south…“ And then usually some bullshit about guns or free healthcare that has been regurgitated at least 50 billion times
That Bit about crossing the Canadian border into Canada is completel BS. My wife was driving to her cousins wedding in Vancouver and the Canadian border patrol were merciless with her to the point she was crying. She was armed with a suitcase full of clothing and a camera. They were telling her her documents were fake, and she was not a Canadian citizen, she was only coming to take Canadian photographer jobs away and just totally beating her down emotionally. On her trip home, she came back via Victoria on the ferry over to Port Angeles and received no hassle at all
I think it’s good that Canadians don’t have so many gun deaths as America, and we have a good healthcare system.
@@affordingstyle But it's not good that we are not as nice as we pretend to be, or say we are. Lol
Back in 2004 from Detroit to Windsor I had the opposite experience. Canadians went all thru my car and US let me go thru without an issue.
We were visiting family once in Canada and on the way back home, we got stopped by the border nazis. My 6 or 7 year old nephew was asked where he was born and he answered "In a hospital" and we all laughed. The border nazi was pissed! "This is NOT a laughing matter!" he told us... 🙄 oh puleeze....
Oh thank God someone finally said it!
Canada
Me: smiles at random in public
Them: =3
America
Me: does the same thing
Them: Hun I think someone’s trying to jump us....
So true. You smile at someone in America chances are you'll
1. Get mugged
2. Get shot for looking at them
3. Get shot by a cop for smiling at them
4. Get raped
5. Get stalked and suddenly death
Channel Name that is so inaccurate. You’ve probably never been to America.
You ever get to Edmonton you’ll feel like America came for a visit
@@akumabazooka9169 oof uh i dont think that would happen
Channel Name No, you’re not thinking of America. You might get an awkward “hello” back.
Us Americans are awkward people to strangers. You won’t get shot for no reason, that’s just how media portrays us.
This is so funny and so true coming from a Canadian
Thank you
I cross into the US regularly. They treat us great. God bless America. Enough of them died fighting wars that we were already in .
Stephen Mitchell ahhhhh what wars is that? We've joined to help Americans. Hell we even had two wars against Americans when we were heavily British.
Now, THAT question, is irony ^_^
The wars that they always ignite. Can call em masochist for that.
The Target line.........triggered so much applause
So true.
I asked my Canadian friend that I play online video games with what he thought of us Americans
*"they seem like idiots and they are very egotistical of their American culture and apple pie"*
Actually when I was living in VAN/BC in 1989 (I"M PERSIAN) my friend bought brand new jeep from dealer but his money was delayed from U.S so he was short 3000$, he asked me if I can lend him money till next Friday, that he could pay and I went to bank ,got the money, gave him 3000 cash, no check or anything in return!
my Canadian friend was shocked, and asked you just gave him 3000$,just hoping he pays back?!!
then I explained the culture, that when you know someone and trust them, there is no need for check! he asked why and how?
told him if he doesn't have the money to pay, check is not gonna bring my money back,
and if he has the money and doesn't want to pay, nobody from our people will make any deal or sell or buy anything from them!
so you don't throw your reputation and income away for 3000$!
he just didn't want to wait another week to get his car and I was same age and understood his feeling
my Canadian friend were shocked when three days later he came back with money and he said it arrived to my account few hours ago! so here you go and thank you!
although I came to live in different country and culture, but my Canadian friend got culture shocked from us
Love how the comment section degenerates into a rant about Targets miserable failure in Canada. I say, Target was never meant to succeed in Canada, they just noticed we were taking it for "granted" when travelling in the US, so they gave us a big ol wake up call.
the principal problem with target was no stock!
@@patrickmulroney9452 Yep, Target couldn't figure out how to build a distribution network in Canada to keep stores stocked. It's larger by area than the U.S. and the population distribution is completely different. Going to a Canadian location was the equivalent of clicking "I'm feeling lucky" on Google.
That East coast Accent was F'ing Hilarious...
I’m Alaskan and when I go down to the lower 48s they ask me “isn’t that basically just west Canada?” And I’m not sure wether to take that as an insult or a compliment
The border in bc to washington its harder to get through the canadian side
As an American I much prefer going into Canada and talking to Canadian boarder patrol. Getting back into America I feel like I’m guilty of something. Also pretty sure of all law enforcement US boarder patrol is paid the least and has the lowest job satisfaction, it not a good situation.
I think both sides are generally a bunch of a*****s. They are taught to be that way to intimidate possible terrorists etc.
Am i the only one feeling a little Bill Burr vibe when he does the voices ? 😂
Border... hardly. Im American, 15 years ago used to get a bit sweaty when I went through immigration in Alberta. Since then I’ve been to all continents, multiple countries in Europe, ME, all of Asia Pacific... let me tell you! Canada still makes me a little sweaty. Their immigration guys are pretty dickish. Still, I do like Canadians - I like the duality.
I'm American and I agree with everything this guy says.
Jeez Canada is pretty much the same as USA. I’m Canadian and American
You are correct
Agreed
Wow me very cool
Very accurate.

My experience at the border has been the complete opposite of what he's joking.
Americans have always been very polite, kind, friendly and respectful to me. It's the Canadian customs officers that pull my car into secondary evaluation and tear it apart, keep me in a seat in a hallway for hours on end and then question me several times by several different wannabe super cops playing a game of dumb cop /even dumber cop... But instead of getting riled up like they're obviously trying to do by attempting to provoke me by being rude, crass and insulting in their insinuations, I outclass and outsmart them for fun -because I'm obviously a thoughtful person and law abiding citizen who does not put up with their totalitarian attitudes. I'll answer all their questions as succinctly as possible. I will not elaborate and usually keep my sentences from one to five words... And I like to be "friendly-hostile" by pretending that I do not know the difference between answering a question directly and answering a question with a question as much as possible.
Ex.(really did happen in secondary) Cop:"are you transporting any illegal goods across the border?" Me"would I go bother with following the laws at the border cross if I didn't follow the laws regarding illegal goods?" Cop:"can you answer the question directly?" Me "yes" cop (confused I didn't answer his previous question)" answer my previous question" me "yes". Cop(annoyed)"no, not that question asking if you can answer the question directly, I want you to answer the question directly as to whether or not you're transporting illegal goods". Me:"...." Cop: "why aren't you answering?" Me:"you didn't ask me a question, you just stated that you want me to. I can't answer if there's no question." Cop: "PLEASE answer this question directly: are you transporting illegal goods across the border?" Me: "I'll need the entire list of illegal goods so I can determine the answer to that question" cop: "drugs, weapons, stuff like that!" Me: "...." Cop:"oh my god, are you transporting drugs or weapons or anything like that?" Me:"..." Cop: why aren't you answering?!" Me:"you didn't ask me" cop: "yes I did" me:"no, you didn't" cop: "then who did I ask?" Me: "You asked God. I'm not God, I'm Warden." Cop: "no I didn't!" Me: "when you asked "oh my god, are you transporting drugs or weapons or anything like that" you asked God" cop: I wasn't asking God!" Me: "you don't think you were asking God when you named him in your question?" Cop:"why would I ask God?!" Me: "Can you answer the question directly?"... Cop: "...." Me:"..." Cop:"you're free to go."
