Their confidence exceeds their knowledge, I'm steelin that one.
That’s exactly what I said 😂😂😂
Me too 😂
Only one problem, it's not confidence, it's arrogance.
In this instance it is more like ignorance.
Arrogance is a secondary symptom of the primary cause which is abject ignorance.
The United States of America... a nation whose entire population is suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect...
I feel you Nova Scotia. Air Canada doesn't even include Newfoundland in there commercials.
back in the 90's, a tourism-style map of Canada released by the Feds, for advertising in Europe, conveniently showed the country ending at the Quebec border, sans Atlantic Canada...
Did you mean to say "their commercials"?
Why would Air Canada include a non-province in their commercials? Maybe try looking at a map me ol cock ;)
Who cares he wasn't writing a book.
@@jab100lochaberthats crazy youd think theyd really advertise newfoundland to ireland and ns to scotland
Nothing about America is surprising anymore.
Sadly
I doubt the average American would grasp the irony that Alexander Graham Bell, the man that started the ball rolling that eventually gave us cell phones, spent his summers and later years in … Nova Scotia.
What is ironic about that? Doesn’t irony in that situation assume that everything was invented in the US. Assumed by you that is. 😉🙂
@@nicklenco7311 Let me help you out. The youngster working in an American store that sells cellular telephones and service plans was unaware that his/her job wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Alexander Graham Bell, the man who invented the telephone, which is a precursor to the cell phone. Bell had significant ties to Canada in general and Nova Scotia in particular. That, my friend, is irony. Perhaps you are thinking of the definition of irony that Alannis Morrisette espoused in her big hit “Ironic”? As it turns out, not a single event she sings about in that song meets the actual definition of irony.
You’re welcome.
@@roymcgaw7431 let me help you out. That is NOT ironic. Nothing about it is ironic. American cell phone salespeople not knowing the history of the phone has nothing to do with irony. Bell having ties to Canada has nothing to do with irony. The two things combined have nothing to do with irony. And, yes, nothing in the Morrisette song is ironic either but your use of the word only differs from hers in that, the way you are using it, there is not even a coincidence. You (and Morisette) need another connection to create irony. What she has are coincidences and what you have is not even a connection at all.
You need to learn what irony is.
You’re welcome.
Lol. I find it so funny that you got all cocky and added that. It feels almost ironic that you answered the way you did. But to really be ironic you would need to be an English teacher or something similar AND have schooled me incorrectly on irony. Like with rain on your wedding day - if you were marrying a meteorologist it could be ironic - but it would not be ironic if there was rain on your wedding day and you did not know how rain was created - which is how you are using the word. You need that extra bit.
“Like not knowing the history of the product your selling” would not even made it into the song.
@@nicklenco7311 Help me out, professor. What word would a scholar such as yourself use to describe a situation wherein someone whose very job is dependent on the invention of a particular device insists (quite incorrectly) that service for said device is unavailable in a place very closely associated with the inventor of it? While you’re at it, where is the irony in a meteorologist having to deal with rain on his or her wedding day? Are you suggesting they could have predicted the weather for a particular day when weddings are typically planned months in advance?
@@roymcgaw7431 I can only comment on what you have written. Which was that it was ironic that the average American would not grasp the irony that Bell spent summers (lots of times really) in NS. which involves no irony.
And the stupidity just keeps on coming!
Years ago I was in British Columbia and went to a greyhound bus station and asked if they go all the way across Canada, they said yes, all the way to Montreal.
Ugh, I feel that everytime I see the words "Canadian tour" or "north american tour". Canadian tour is often just Toronto and/or Vancouver... "North American" is often just American... Occasionally with one or two Canadian dates. I understand it's a big country, but using those terms for a tour that barely scratches the surface is a bit of a pet peeve of mine...
yep. ouch
Nova Scotia not being part of canada is a dream come true.
By the way where in Nova Scotia is non Liberal, not fan of you know who 😉
Says someone who's never left Onterrible.
@@oceanchicns bruh I'm Nova Scotian, Canada can taste my balls I only fly the lion rampant
i would not mind the librals made life suck
They were ahead of you cutting the map off that Nova Scotia. When confidence exceeds the knowledge, the convenience proceeds the means.
Americans unfortunately have no idea where they are the moment they leave their street, there are some of them that even think that the state of Alaska is an Island, because on their map of the United States , there is nothing between the state of Washington and Alaska therefore it must be an Island, dah 😂😢
Remember, there is nothing above that line across the northern U.S border.
Lol I know Jimmy Kimmel has someone stop people on the street and ask them different geographic questions and the response he gets are hilarious. Even we canucks have a good knowledge of American geography. Remember..... KYSOTI !😀
Once had an american mock and laugh at me when i told him where in canada im from. Saying "thats not even a real place." The second hand humiliation i felt for this man stays with me today.
I'm a Nova Scotian who's lived in Japan for 30 years. In that time, I've met exactly one Japanese who had ever heard of Nova Scotia. So when Japanese ask me where in Canada I'm from, I just say "a bit east of Toronto".
Tell them it's across the bay from Green Gables.
@@robertkennedy5414 "bay" -> 'straight' but yes, bingo!
A British POW captured at Dunkirk in May 1940, was liberated by American G.I.s in April 1945 and called a liar for claiming he had been a POW for nearly five years, because "The war is only three and a half years old." America: Where confidence exceeds both intelligence _and_ education.
Their arrogance exceeds their knowledge.
In Los Angeles a long time ago I was informed that Canada is part of the US. I told the guy that no, we're an independent country, to which his response was "No you’re not, we just allow you to think that".
He’s not entirely wrong…
LOL!
This cannot be real. We do have Google.
Are you positive? Weird shawarmas. Everybody singing and dancing. Lobsters everywhere. Nobody bragging about how much money they make. Peculiar sounding English. Peculiar sounding French. Alcohol flowing like it would hold up the Ark. I don't think that's Mississauga, Toto!!
Hilarious! (I get all the references too.)
"Weird schwarmas"? You mean the far superior "donair"?
@@The_Keh27 Eyup. And I acknowledge their deliciousness. But they are weird.
Sounds like the The Republic of Cape Breton!
Wow, Timothy Busfield is hilarious! I did not know he was Canadian...
Had to look up who you meant. Ok. That’s a new one 😂
I usually get Matthew Lillard or Tom Green
It's the *Confidence-to-Competence ratio* - once that *Confidence/Competence* ratio exceeds unity then nobody is safe.
Used to be a Canadian Commercial that right across this land from Quebec City to Vancouver
I think it was for some headache relief
I REFUSED TO BUY THAT PRODUCT CAUSE IT MIGHT NOT STOP A NOVA SCOTIAN HEADACHE !!!!!
25 yeasrs ago I moved from Ontario to NS and My supplier in the USA refused to ship to me because NS is not in CanadA. I asked the Government of Ns to do something about this and they refused. They are fully aware of this and they refuse do do anything about it.
oh my. that's hilarious and so accurate. Sometimes people don't believe it, but its oh so true
I say this LOUD & CLEARLY - AS A TORONTONIAN - Canada DOES NOT END (OR START) with us!! (& yes, - [because I know where this is going] - I WAS born & bred here to the rest of you! - & NO, I am NOT unusual for a Torontonian either!)
I am FIRST - IMPRESSED though - that Americans have even HEARD of Nova Scotia. That's pretty advanced for them.
2nd - I am HORRIFIED, ANGERED & MYSTIFIED? - as to WHAT has made them think Canada ends at Toronto?? Was there some sort of huge earthquake they were made to believe happened that severed the land apart right at this point? What on earth has gotten into their heads about this one?????
@@Carrie-so3ro One nice thing about Toronto is that it has the same accent as northern California. Oh, you do have to learn to say washroom, parkade and a few others. And you have to learn how to pronounce Etobicoke and a few others, but it is nice to feel at home away from home.
@@danielcarroll3358 Oh, so you've taken our accent, have you? 😁 That's nice.
We DO say washroom! What makes you think that we don't? It is washroom out in public, (& usually on the 1st floor & basement level of homes - without even thinking about it. The upstairs washrooms or other places there are bedrooms are called bathrooms [again, without even thinking about it] - because this is where you will find baths. We just happen to be logical. 😜)
As to the pronunciation of Etobicoke - & a few others - we do know how to properly pronounce them - it just so happens you have stumbled upon one (or a few) of our verbal "secret handshakes." If you know, you know. If you don't - you will be outed as a foreigner - maybe from Northern California. 😉
Happy Sunday. 😎
@@Carrie-so3ro Toronto is part of the West Indies.
I guess I'll never go to the Misty Moon again. Shucks.
ya. my old dream. too bad. Ralphs gone too lol
i moved to nova scotia approx 32 years ago, from the winnipeg within which i was born and lived for 30 years. i am pretty sure both are in canada.
canada's biggest deficit is that of having to suffer the usa as an immediate neighbour.
Well it's got a Latin name, must be Latin American.
Living in California for a short time and was asked what kind of palm tree's we have. Same person said he would not visit Canada because of all the bears roaming the streets and eating out of garbage cans. Ah California, the land of the fruits and nut and now needles and pins with a side order of shit in the streets.
Palm Trees?,
Someone Needs To Tell That Guy Those Don't Grow Here
Not Even In Vancouver
But As A Fellow Canadian
I Know We Do Have A Shit Ton Of Pine & Maple Trees!
@@RandomManIncorperated This is going to come as a shock to you as it did to me. Apparently there are palm tree's in the Vancouver area but they were planted and not native to the area. I only learned of this about a year ago but have not seen them with my own eyes so until then i will still shake my head from left to right. California has a special breed of Human's as some believe Alaska is a island when they look on some maps that show only the territories of the U.S.A. Here is another one i met while living in Cali for a short time. The topic of Metro systems came up and this person was surprised i claimed we had them and the response was while they were there they never seen metro trains where i responded that is because they are under ground. I could almost smell the wood burning as this was being processed.
We have Palm 🌴 trees in Vancouver BC I seen the ones across the street from my house covered in snow at -23° there just fine haveing survived last winter ☃️
@@bonnienichalson5151 I agree but they were transplanted and not native to the area.
What?! It's the Maine part of Canada!
Like my dad always says, go to Maine and turn left
At least they know of it. To many people (Canadian musicians included, apparently) New Brunswick doesn't even exist
Most Canadians think Canada ends at the Quebec/New Brunswick border
Nor should it
@@doug729 You must be from Quebec west.
New Brunswick is the land you drive through to get to Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland
@@terryvallis1436 You mean North western Nova Scotia (seriously it was part of Nova Scotia until the Loyalists came after the American Revolution)
Well don’t tell them about Newfoundland lol
Or Labrador😂
Cause Both Are Full Of Huge Dogs That Bear Their Name
@@RandomManIncorperated I’d be more concerned about the bitter Labrador winters than those big ol slobber machines. Very beautiful docile dogs. Very loyal and protective as well
During my vacation in NS , I got asked many times : 'Where do you live?'. I said :'Ontario'. 'Where in Ontario?' They insisted. I said 'Mississauga '.They had no idea what I was talking about. They never heard about such a place. Mississauga is the 5th largest city in Canada. I respect my lovely Nova Scotians, but ....
Seriously? They've Never Heard Of Mississauga?
Have None Of Them Ever Driven Though Ontario?
If I Had A Car It Would Only Take Around An Hour To Drive To Mississauga From Kitchener.
@RandomManIncorperated Seriously. You've asked interesting question.
Canada is a huge country. I think it's reasonable to assume that most Nova Scotians have never drive n across Ontario. Have you driven across Saskatchewan? When we go to NS on vacation, we do our homework and have a list of places to see. It's actually understandable that not too many Nova Scotians want to explore Mississauga. It's a place to live and work, but as for tourist attractions, I can't find a single one.
I call B.S.!
That's crazy. I can't picture ANY maritimers not being aware of that lol
Some might not have. I’d never heard of North York until I moved there… 🤷♂️
Yea! We People of the Western Provinces wish Lie-beral voting Nova Scotia wasn't part of Canada to, right along with Quebec and Ontario! But whom else would cry for our Transfer Payment's?
Wait so you're telling me that there are Canadians outside of Toronto?
I've Had Interactions With Americans When Omegle Was Still Active
Literally Everytime They Popped Up & Saw The Location I'm From(Ontario Canada) All Of Them Would Say "Are You From Toronto?" Which I Still Don't Get Why They Always Assume We Ontarians Are Always From Toronto?
The Only Person I Know Who Lives There Is My Great Uncle. Everyone Else In My Family Lives In Waterloo Region Or Back Home In Chatham-Kent. I've Visited Toronto A Dozen Times But I've Never Lived There?
Ontario Is Very Expensive
I Should Know I Live Here In Kitchener
$800? Still cheaper than a Canadian phone plan eh 🤣💀
Nova Scotia's #1export is...its people.
I'm from Ontario and I married one of them lol actually the 1st one i've ever met
NS exports about $1.3B worth of seafood annually, just seafood. Last time I checked, that's more than Hydro-Quebec's famous hydropower exports to the USA (~$1B/y), but perhaps it's changed since then.
Nova Scotia's biggest import in recent years is....people. Swarms and swarms of people, many seem to be 2nd generation people coming out of the GTA. Nice bunch, I welcome them.
I exported my butt all the way to California now
Welcome.
If not Canada, then where???
Nova Scotia is apparently not a province of Canada, but is now its own country
Nova Scotia is part of Morocco, unless I'm misinterpreting a very old geology textbook. ;-) !!
Canada ends at Toronto? There are Torontonians who think the same thing.
well aware lol
Nova Scotia is the Canada of Canada. When I came from Montreal to Nova Scotia, they offered 20 of us free dinner and one guy shown me a Montreal Canadian puppet he was really proud of and I felt bad because Montreal is a lot like NY and we're all hipsters who don't care for sports but he was so nice and I played along lol that's how nice t hey are, bet Nova Scotia's government would refund you the bill lol
So ... Like... Aboot eh HUh? Tatontah is dah center ud dah oonaverse egh huh

The incredible ignorance of young people is unbelievable.
Correction, American of all ages, republicans make sure no one knows or learns anything. Even the idiot who wants to be in charge, said he loves uneducated
Which is why people from the American South say bless your heart. Polite church way of saying "you're acting like a moron right now." 😂
Literally, the first part that was discovered by the French AND the English of what would be called “Canada” (I know, the Viking in Newfoundland was before, but at that time, they didn’t know that) but still. We in the NS are constantly getting the shaft. Even within our own borders
Cabot landed in what is now Trinity, NL before continuing on to Cape Breton.
The First Nations could claim 'dibs'. After all, "Canada" is their word.
Really!? So what country am I living in??
So we no long half to support you then!
I'm liking that NO M LOVING THAT!! A have not province getting money every year from the west!!
The West wouldn't have homeless or food banks anymore, if we were not paying so many have not province's in the east!!
Yeah, Canada would be a so much nicer place if we had just the extreme rich and the majority extremely poor. Inequality is such a wonderful ideal for a country to strive for...Canada should become just like all the other corrupt countries. Wouldn't the be wonderful for western Canada.☹☹
Same was not corrupted lol guess again we are!! Look at all the resources and water and wildlife and list goes on and on!! Yet we still pay the royal family tons of money to Due to these contracts sign like so far back in time! The same contracts that make our have province's support the have not province's!!
Why not restructure the province's from being a have not province to a have province OR use that royal family money for it!!
Both major parties are at fault here for all of this and under order of the crown and yet we are not a colony lol guess again!!
1:50 Technically, the kid is right. Toronto is where Canadia (the crazy part) ends and Canada (the part that's still pretty racist but otherwise normal) begins.
It's true, Canada ends in Toronto. I live in Toronto all of my life... LOL. Yes rip into me for being such a Torontonian.
Hey, how are those Leafs doing?

@@kevinn1158 Left coaster here. I'm really hoping that this is the year for the Canucks. I believe they hold the record for the oldest major league sports team without a championship. Gonna be a tough series vs. the Oilers. Fingers crossed.

Canada has recently surpassed the USA in confidence to knowledge ratios.

Canadians confidence exceeds their knowledge also..
they are simpletons. i mean the nova scotians lol
Right back at ya.
and how many Canadians know where Nova Scotia is? not funny.
Jesus H. Christ pal, Canadians know where Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, are. We have these things called schools! Meanwhile, the USA has people who think New Mexico is part of Mexico!
@@verilyheld Spare me, Canadians are dumber than ever. Most educated in the last decades would likely have trouble finding Canada on a map let alone know anything of our History. Education across the west has long been hijacked. Canadians need to stop condescending.
