I find it funny that Americans laugh at “blame Canada” because “it’s funny to blame Canada. Hahaha”. When the song is making fun of America’s ability to blame their problems on everything else around them.
Haha, so true! Plus I don't know about the rest of Canada, but I love the South Park depiction. Never laughed so hard, especially the Celine Dion episode

Hawaiian pizza was invented by a Greek immigrant to Canada who was inspired by the sweet & sour flavour of Chinese food and it became the most popular flavour of pizza in Australia.
Yeah, the "no sweet in savoury food" had me think: "clearly, you don't eat a lot of Asian dishes." In many Asian countries, it's not standard to have savoury only as main course (sorry, for me, "entrée" means appetizer; it's a French word, use it correctly! 😛) and sweet as dessert; lots of dishes will have both sweet and savoury flavours. Oh, and tomatoes are fruits too, by the way.
Tyler, you've asked about Bob and Doug's over the top Canadianisms in the past, such as their flannel, beer and touques. It was all to meet and laugh at the Canadian Content laws. Thanks for your interest and videos about Canada. You are definitely the kind of American tourist we love to welcome. I hope you have the chance to explore this wonderful country some day!

In Canada's Atlantic Provinces Churches sell Lobster rolls all summer long. They are a big hit, again in places like Nova Scotia's South Shore. The South Shore is like New England but with cleaner less populated beaches.
Baffin Island and Ellesmere Island are indeed both in the Arctic. Ellesmere Island contains Canada's northernmost point. But Vancouver Island extends south of the 49th parallel, it's on the West Coast.
Americans interpret "sorry" as an admission of guilt. As in "sorry I ran over your dog." Canadians interpret "sorry" as an expression of empathy. As in "sorry to hear about your dog." We're not apologizing, we're sympathizing.
Re: Cancon. It is actually really rigorous rules that have to be followed in order for Canadian content to be deemed Canadian. I’ve heard artists complain about it before because despite being Canadian and creating the content, so many other factors are considered that sometimes their own music doesn’t make the cut.

Also anytime people complain about pineapple on pizza it's the idea of it And they will have never even tried it Can't say anything unless you actually try it :)
I’ve had pineapple pizza several times. Pineapple juices just soak into the entire pizza and overwhelm it with a pineapple taste. It’s just awful tasting. I like pineapple on its own. It’s fine. But if I eat it. I only have a small amount. I’ve been told “oh, just pick the pineapple off”. You can do that. But the pizza will still taste like pineapple. It just ruins it. I say the same for hot peppers. It just over powers the pizza. Soaks in everywhere. Abs that’s just all you taste. May as well get a slice of bread. Spread spaghetti sauce on it and put a slice of pineapple on top.

A mclobster is specifically on the east coast. In PEI or Newfoundland. It's not Canadian. It's a coastal McDonald's thing. It's mostly popular in china, Japan, Korea, or around that area.
Tyler you are correct. The average Canadian knows much more about Americans than they know, or care to know, about us. We do not assume we are the most important country in the world and give credit where credit is due. And we are humble, not narcissistic.
As you claim to know more about America than Americans know about Canada. It seems odd to me, as another Canadian, that we pride ourselves on being more humble than Americans.
@@WqpW-WqpW Sounds like a generalization to me. What about the people in America who study geography in collage or for a job? What about the people who study international relations? They know about other countries. Just like not everyone in Canada plays hockey and likes maple syrup.
The word you were looking for at about 6:10 is "empathetic". I'm not surprised that an American can't bring himself to use any word that contains "pathetic", because your schools teach you not to. :o). But "empath" is a word we are glad to hear used about us - thanks!
Santa is Canadian because he lives at the North Pole and the North Pole is geographically in Canada. Also, if kids around the world want to write to him, they can address their letters to Santa, North Pole, Canada, H0H 0H0 and Canada Post has people on staff (might be volunteers) who can reply to the letters who can reply in the senders language.
# 73: During the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898, the vast majority of Dawson City's residents were American, although Dawson City was located in Canada, therefore they celebrated both Canada Day (then called Dominion Day) on July 1st and American Independence Day on July 4th. No point in going to work between those days so they just had one four day drunken party. .
Nickelback, which has sold more than 50 million albums, was somehow denied the common Canadian sentiment of only being liked or even known after making it big outside the country.
And in Quebec (for french speaking radio) it's 65% daytime french singing music CHOM 97.7 FM was originaly a bilingual radio The Quebec law/rule made it so that it had to choose between the 2 languages and ended up choosing English not to be bothered by this rule
Mount Logan in Quebec, Canada is a challenging destination for advanced ski mountaineers: Mount Logan, Quebec The southern slopes of Mount Logan are considered intermediate, but can be challenging for advanced skiers. The mountain is large and quiet, and the snowpack is often shallow. The 35 km trail from Saint-Octave-de-l'Avenir to the summit takes two to three days to hike.
The 35% Canadian content on radio was born from the mistaken belief that little Canadian content would get played without the rule, but to many people's surprise, there's been so many popular Canadian songs that radio stations rarely get close to that 35% minimum.
There was a CBC special, hosted by Mike Holmes about Canadian inventions, such as the zero g suit for pilots, even History Channel's Pawn Stars mentions that fact, too. Seasons greetings.

In Canada, "sorry" has two distinct meanings, one is an acknowledgement of wrongdoing, an apology, but the other is an expression of empathy or compassion, "I am so sorry you are going through that", but we just say, "so sorry". That said, I have caught myself apologising to my Google when it says, "I don't understand", because I wasn't clear enough on my question to the inanimate object I own.
Santa lives at the North pole and since that's in Canada it makes sense that Santa is Canadian.

NWT license plates are still polar bears. I kept mine when I left Yellowknife!
Santa Claus dresses with 2 main colors, red and white, which is also the color of the Canadian flag! Also we own the North Pole and he has his own postal code which is H0H 0H0.
To be fair to my beloved homeland Canada, Canada Day used to be called Dominion Day, just slightly more original 😂😂😂
In Canada's Atlantic Provinces Churches sell Lobster rolls all summer long. They are a big hit, again in places like Nova Scotia's South Shore. The South Shore is like New England but with cleaner less populated beaches.
Acturally Santa is from Canada....The Canadian territory of Nunavut is closest to the North Pole.
Tyler, your channel is great. Just wanted to say thanks!
the word your looking for is empathetic 6:20
"typicol 'Merican. canna even say empathetic." - JK 😂
Baffin Island and Ellesmere Island are indeed both in the Arctic. Ellesmere Island contains Canada's northernmost point. But Vancouver Island extends south of the 49th parallel, it's on the West Coast.
Americans interpret "sorry" as an admission of guilt. As in "sorry I ran over your dog."
Canadians interpret "sorry" as an expression of empathy. As in "sorry to hear about your dog."
We're not apologizing, we're sympathizing.
In Alberta Is The Monument of USS ENTERPRISE star trek in Town of Vulkan.
Caesium is used in smoke detectors, and as a tracer for medical imaging
Insulin invented in 🇨🇦 patent sold for $1 so people could afford it, then the US fooked that up too
Re: Cancon. It is actually really rigorous rules that have to be followed in order for Canadian content to be deemed Canadian. I’ve heard artists complain about it before because despite being Canadian and creating the content, so many other factors are considered that sometimes their own music doesn’t make the cut.
Like if they record it in a US studio on a US label using US producers. The idea is to boost the entire Canadian industry, not just the individual artists, but I see both sides.
My husband had a Mclobster when we were at a McDonald’s in Nova Scotia but there are none in British Columbia. Nova Scotia is known for their lobster.
We used to get a seasonally in British Columbia but not anymore. It was actually real lobster and not pressed white fish it was delicious
@ Really? I’m from Nova Scotia but lived here in British Columbia since 1982 and never seen Mclobster here. My husband would had had one every day for sure lol. He was disappointed when he had his first bite to find out it was cold.
It's only during lobster season, in eastern Canada (the Atlantic provinces, Québec and maybe Ontario.
@ yes, I’m aware of that.
There's nothing quite like a classic Lobster Roll from Shediac, New Brunswick. And let's not forget those delicious deep-fried scallops. Mmmmm Nummie.
I grew up where Dr. Best had a practice. He helped found insulin. London, Ontario. There is a “flame of hope” where there’s a flame that is lit until there’s a cute for diabetes
The Sad part of the Insulin, is that in the States,You people pay 4 times what the Rest of the World, pays for the same life saving product. There's a lot of Your people that come into Different Provinces to buy a month or two for what One Vile, costs in the States.
The worst part is that Banting and Best decided to not patent their invention for money. Instead, they donated it to the world.
@@elinebrock5660 Came here to say this! They sold the patent for one cent, effectively donating it for free as they wished for insulin to be accessible to everyone 😢Also, everyone leaves out MacLeod, it’s Banting, Best AND McLeod.
18:00 Tyler: It must be so weird for Canadians to hear how little "Americans" know about Canada.
Weird? No. Disappointing? maybe. Expected? Yes. We're used to you lot in the US living in your bubble ignoring the rest of the world as much as you can.
YOURE WELL ON YOUR WAY TO BECOMEING A CANADIAN. WELL DONE
I need a poll of Americans that know when Canada day is, compared to Canadians that know when U.S. independence day is. lol
I will guess it's about 8% of Americans and 99% of Canadians (perhaps some of our more recent immigrants don't know about July 4 yet.)
Im Canadian.
July 4th is Independence Day. I know this because of the Will Smith Movies.
Canada Day of course is July 1st.
@@YukiPyro Don't ya mean Dominion Day? (re:Don Cherry 🤣 )
Everyone knows Santa is Scandinavian, he just lives in Canada for the open space. About Canadian inventions, maybe mention the LEM's feet and the Canadarm? (LEM as in Lunar Exploration Module, the one with Armstrong and Aldrin, and the space shuttle's manipulation arm)
Canada's happiness index would be higher if we didn't have soul crushing winters.
There is a law in Québec for french musique on french radio station too.
Trivial Pursuit founder Scott Abbott owns my hometown OHL team(North Bay Battalion) that moved from Brampton in 2012. They aren’t doing well this year, but I think it’s a cool job. They sold Trivial Pursuit for 80 million USD a while ago
Americans will like this Cesium is use in drilling for oil and your GPS in mobile phones. It also is used in vacuum tubes. It can be turned into a liquid at the low temperature of 28.44 Celsius. We also produce 50% of global lithium 80% of global use is in items such as rechargeable batteries. So much for EV cars and cell phone batteries if we cut off lithium to US.
Also anytime people complain about pineapple on pizza it's the idea of it
And they will have never even tried it
Can't say anything unless you actually try it :)
I’ve had pineapple pizza several times. Pineapple juices just soak into the entire pizza and overwhelm it with a pineapple taste. It’s just awful tasting. I like pineapple on its own. It’s fine. But if I eat it. I only have a small amount. I’ve been told “oh, just pick the pineapple off”. You can do that. But the pizza will still taste like pineapple. It just ruins it. I say the same for hot peppers. It just over powers the pizza. Soaks in everywhere. Abs that’s just all you taste.
May as well get a slice of bread. Spread spaghetti sauce on it and put a slice of pineapple on top.
Sooo Good 👍
He thought ketchup chips would be yucky too but he likes them 😅
@@g8kpr3000 Born and raised in Canada and I agree, NO pineapple anywhere near pizza!!
@@g8kpr3000 clearly u never had a well made pizza if its soggy from juices, I used to hate pineapple on anything, then I grew tf up and now im a texture man. And holy f an all dressed za with pineapple is my favorite pizza ever, the crunch and sweetness and savory is epic, up your palette game
No victoria is but a quick ferry ride to. And we live only an hr from USA border so from USA you could get to Victoria lets say in 3-4 hrs
Ferry from Victoria to US...Port Angeles is 1 1/2 hours...
The city of Victoria is on Vancouver island. I believe he was referring to Victoria Island, which is indeed in northern Canada.
A mclobster is specifically on the east coast. In PEI or Newfoundland. It's not Canadian.
It's a coastal McDonald's thing.
It's mostly popular in china, Japan, Korea, or around that area.
Ontario also has the McLobster, FYI. It’s seasonal early summer special.
Santa is from the North Pole, therefore he’s Canadian
Well, he could have moved here from elsewhere for the job. We don't know if he has Canadian citizenship. 😀
Tyler you are correct. The average Canadian knows much more about Americans than they know, or care to know, about us. We do not assume we are the most important country in the world and give credit where credit is due. And we are humble, not narcissistic.
As you claim to know more about America than Americans know about Canada. It seems odd to me, as another Canadian, that we pride ourselves on being more humble than Americans.
@BigBlueTurtle-cu9svbut it just facts tho. More folks in other countries know’s more about America than the opposite.
@@WqpW-WqpW Sounds like a generalization to me. What about the people in America who study geography in collage or for a job? What about the people who study international relations? They know about other countries. Just like not everyone in Canada plays hockey and likes maple syrup.
The word you were looking for at about 6:10 is "empathetic". I'm not surprised that an American can't bring himself to use any word that contains "pathetic", because your schools teach you not to. :o). But "empath" is a word we are glad to hear used about us - thanks!
Christmas Island is within Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. Many people send letters, return postage, to Christmas Island to get the post mark.
The phone number connect you to call center about the government services. It's the same kind of experience as calling your cable company
Winnipeg uses a similar system for city services, 311.
@dougbrowning82 so does my city
The polar bear plate was in the Northwest Territories.
Santa is Canadian because he lives at the North Pole and the North Pole is geographically in Canada. Also, if kids around the world want to write to him, they can address their letters to Santa, North Pole, Canada, H0H 0H0 and Canada Post has people on staff (might be volunteers) who can reply to the letters who can reply in the senders language.
# 73: During the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898, the vast majority of Dawson City's residents were American, although Dawson City was located in Canada, therefore they celebrated both Canada Day (then called Dominion Day) on July 1st and American Independence Day on July 4th. No point in going to work between those days so they just had one four day drunken party. .
It was the same thing in the mining towns that were on the border of southeastern BC and Washington State.
I'm all for having four day drunken parties, especially in early July, when the weather is at it's best.
Nickelback, which has sold more than 50 million albums, was somehow denied the common Canadian sentiment of only being liked or even known after making it big outside the country.
They sold 50000000 albums someone must like them
I think it was after the whole they used the same guitar riff in 2 different songs. The State was an awesome album, personally.
And in Quebec (for french speaking radio) it's 65% daytime french singing music
CHOM 97.7 FM was originaly a bilingual radio
The Quebec law/rule made it so that it had to choose between the 2 languages and ended up choosing English not to be bothered by this rule
Mount Logan in Quebec, Canada is a challenging destination for advanced ski mountaineers:
Mount Logan, Quebec
The southern slopes of Mount Logan are considered intermediate, but can be challenging for advanced skiers. The mountain is large and quiet, and the snowpack is often shallow. The 35 km trail from Saint-Octave-de-l'Avenir to the summit takes two to three days to hike.
And Mt. Logan was named for Wolverine
The 35% Canadian content on radio was born from the mistaken belief that little Canadian content would get played without the rule, but to many people's surprise, there's been so many popular Canadian songs that radio stations rarely get close to that 35% minimum.
There was a CBC special, hosted by Mike Holmes about Canadian inventions, such as the zero g suit for pilots, even History Channel's Pawn Stars mentions that fact, too.
Seasons greetings.
You would be surprised how many singers/bands are Canadian… I recently checked the Canadian Artists from 1980’s there were more than 21
Many of the CGI effects Hollywood uses in movies are done in Quebec, Canada.
There’s actually just over 200,000 lakes in Canada.
Check your source it's actually 2,000,000.
That's Ontario, bubba. Quebec has 350,000 odd.
I like Nickleback. Especially the one song they keep writing over and over again.
🤣🤣🤣
McLobster is not a thing all over Canada. It was actually available only in Atlantic Canada and the New England states with happen to be in the US.
McLobster is an east coast thing. But I would gladly drive 2 and a half hours to my closest McD's to get one
The reason why Nickelback gets so much hate is because of a comment that the lead singer made about the band Stone Sour.
Nickelback's "Dark Horse" album is just plain fun.
Trudeau has been our prime minister for 9 years of course we dropped on the happiness scale
To me nickelback bas the most nostalgic songs
Santa wears Canadian colours LOL
Tyler. I love watching you as you learn about us. Such fun!
Victoria Island is next to Vancouver British Columbia or the west coast of Canada
That’s Vancouver island - the Victoria Island he’s referring to is the one he showed, in Nunavut.
Santa even has a Canadian passport
I've been to Head Smashed in Buffalo jump a few times. Nice museum.
I think that Blackfoot might qualify for the first-ever Darwin Award.
I Always enjoy your posts! Have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
We studied USA in school.. I have relative's who call July 1..Canada's July 4th!!
Santa is canadian because the north pole is in Canada, the postal,code for the north pole is H0H 0H0
Thks Tyler always fun to take a break & learn /remember more as a cdn here.
8:05 it’s in the Yukon territory 8:54 I wouldn’t say it’s the default name for them at least not anymore but yes, it’s true 12:47 that’s not true. You can still get them there’s just an alternate.
I've had a McLobster! It's pretty good!!
In Canada, "sorry" has two distinct meanings, one is an acknowledgement of wrongdoing, an apology, but the other is an expression of empathy or compassion, "I am so sorry you are going through that", but we just say, "so sorry". That said, I have caught myself apologising to my Google when it says, "I don't understand", because I wasn't clear enough on my question to the inanimate object I own.
