I totally agree, it wouldn't even be that much up north, possibly double what we would pay I got drumsticks pre cooked for about 12.00 so this is bullshit.
Yea prices aren’t typically that high. There may be some extremely remote places where that’s the case but it’s super rare. That said, food prices in Canada are ridiculous. There’s currently a movement to boycott Loblaws companies due to high food prices and their stranglehold on grocery markets.
On a good sale i literally pay $8 for 6-8 small raw drumsticks, that was a huge, deep container with seasoned drumsticks. That would definitely cost around $200 where I live in Canada

(Born and raised Canadian, that knows way to much about food) 12:20 The reason why poutine isn’t in America is because Canadian gravy and American gravy tastes different and it doesn’t matter on what category of gravy, it just all taste different.

It still is a good fry but personally poutine with this cut isn’t right for me. The curly fry makes the same taste as the shoe string but has the texture of an under cooked fry. So many people fix this by over cooking the fry but it still doesn’t have a consistent enough texture for a poutine in my opinion but is still a good option for most people without sensory issues There is so many more I could do but those are the basics that I can think of right now. Poutine isn’t just fries gravy and cheese. It’s a symphony of flavours and textures that is not easy to perfect, especially when so many people prefer different balances with in their dishes.
However, after a night out and you're one eye drunk but need a snack. Oven fries, pre shredded mozza and/or cheddar cheese and a can of gravy or packet gravy mix will scratch the itch.

@@mypronouniswtf5559 Is right Chelsey, Americans know how to make a fine brown gravy, they have more types of gravy than us Canucks can throw a stick at and they all begin properly with a roux.
I won't have a grilled cheese without the stuff. When I was a kid I thought it was nasty, then I tried it. I'm not a ketchup person, but if I'm doing the sandwich or making meatloaf it's a must
@@SoothingSounds.876 Then it really was a mild winter all around. We've gotten used to seeing the crazy storms you get down east, and I don't remember seeing anything much this past winter.
As kids we used to love those huge snow drifts for digging out forts. That is basically what the first guy did. They are pretty warm and cozy places to escape freezing your ass off.
The drumsticks were a typo error. It's bad here but not that bad. Although a Metro grocery store was selling watermelons for 16.99 recently in Ontario.
I saw that in Montreal - told my friend that's just supermarket trying to run up a crazy markup on watermelons. And they were small too! That's why i never shop at Metro.
Yep, Ottawa's old gaol (jail), built in 1862, has been turned into a hostel. You can spend the night in a cell. The ones on the top floor, death row, are super narrow. I had a friend who barely fit. He was big and tall and couldn't turn around without exiting the cell. They were restored as close as possible to their original 1800 conditions, except for the windows and heating and such. You used to be able to tour it as part of a "haunted walk" around downtown Ottawa, but as of last year (2023) the new company running the hostel decided to cancel their contract with Haunted Walks Ottawa. It's a bummer. It was a fun part of their tours.
Ketchup on chicken is something this Canadian has never even seen, Dipping a grilled cheese tip in ketchup is pretty standard. If you're into a grilled cheese made with real cheese(s), any variety of mustard applied to the insides of the bread is crazy good.
Where i live in Canada the elementary schools have buddy benches. Its the same as friendship bench in that when someone sits on the bench, it shows that someone can come to sit and talk with the person so they dont feel alone or lonely
'Bring them inside' is a meme. It's the part that comes after 'If you're cold, they're cold ...' and the meme is generally applied to an obviously wild or dangerous animal. It's making a joke of a PSA directed at pet owners intending to convince them to let their pets inside when it is cold out.
Got real hard to be a Husky or double coated breed owner for a while, everyone had to build a heated doghouse that would never get used and field accusations of neglect when the dog refused to come in. One woman had to erect signs pointing out the unused heated shelter and the dogs obvious comfort and requesting to be left alone. Lol, she was so done with the nonsense.
@@terramarini6880 Didn't know the details of it myself. I've never actually seen one of the PSAs. Could be that they don't show them in BC. Could be that I haven't watched cable/network tv in 20 years. Agreed about the silliness though. Yes, the animals that pulled sleds in Yukon and Alaska for weeks at a time are gonna be okay outside for a bit. Same with all the other animals adapted to living in such balmy environments. Which explains the power of the meme.
I went to the sugar shack (cabane à sucre) this week-end with family and friends. When you pass beside the boilers shed where they boil the maple sap to transform it to maple syrup, the smell is just wonderful. When your in the shed, it's just WOW! Then there's the maple taffy on snow (tire d’érable). Hot maple syrup is poured over fresh, clean snow. The syrup quickly cools and thickens, allowing you to roll it onto a popsicle stick for a chewy, maple-infused lollipop. You can't stop at only one stick.
Living on a houseboat means paying no annual land taxes, you pay moorage fees that can be equivalent to taxes depending where, but it’s usually a lot less.
The taxes pay for roads, schools, medical, mail delivery, libraries, sidewalks, policing, sewer, garbage collection & more. Those on a houseboat have a car and have/or had children in school. The only thing they are avoiding is having a front lawn or rear garden. So, they do not even have a piece of earth their boat is living on so it cannot be sold or subdivided or a bigger structure be placed there. Essentially they are POOR. Taxes don't take your job into account or your bank account. Never did, never will.
I'm Canadian and just bought 10 drum sticks for $9 bucks. Yes up in the yukon, Northern BC, Northern Alberta working on the pipeline were you have to cross ice roads to get the product. Yes really expensive. 🫰 Block of cheese $35 bucks. Carton of Milk $27 dollars 😳 but drum sticks $202 dollars? That's were I draw the line😅
“Friendship bench” aka “buddy benches “… started in elementary schools for kids that were lonely. Moved to into high schools as well. Usually they were outside by the playgrounds . The idea is : If you need a friend to play on the playground with , just sit on the bench and wait a bit until other kids that also need friends to play with come to the bench too. Then those kids play together . So it’s a social thing .
There are several fault lines across Canada. We even have a few volcanoes! Swaying is part of the way the buildings maintain their balance and absorb the stress.
Yup, some have both though. We have 2 doors at each doorway, plus an interior door inside to separate the porch or mudroom or wtvr from the rest of the house. Also most homes make aure to have the windows you can open and step out through if you getbsnowed in elswhere. Smaller size house with basement that floods routinely, and is a toolshop essentially, with 4 or 5 potential exits. There used to be a hatch in the porch to go downstairs but that go boarded up and the stairs removed years ago.
What are you on about? A house door swings in. They may have an extra screen or storm door that swings out. That's been the same way everywhere I've lived in both countries.
Yeah? So how do they hang doors in Minnesota? Or Wisconsin? Or Vermont or New York? All of those places have a lot more snow that many parts of Canada.
Fun fact. Our CN Tower actually does sway up to 7 feet in each direction when winds are high. Also, You can actually get video of it swaying just like that by recording it and then speeding up the video. See how fast the pedestrians are moving...Also, our Winters have gotten so cold in some areas and with the destruction of so much natural habitat, moose, deer, small game etc frequently freeze to death now. Which sucks for hunters... (And animals) LoL
The classic beavertail is simply brown sugar and cinnamon. This was something my parents and grandparents used to put on toast; but has now gone out of fashion and replaced by peanut butter and jam. Another classic my father likes is peanut butter and molasses (mixed together) on toast!
When we install moved to Ottawa, we had never heard of Beavertails. My brother discovered them first and had me convinced for almost a year that they were made from real Beavers! Now, you can find them in most tourist hotspots.
Beaver Tails are also called Elephant Ears in some places. And typically the topping is sugar and cinnamon.. though now other toppings are becoming popular
'' What's going on everyone, I'm just a typical, average American, here today to react and ENJOY some Canadian Tiktoks." This really touched my heart, Tyler is not learning anymore about Canada.. He's enjoying it now ! I love it :)
I can confirm the amount of snow is normal. One of my favorite thing is to use the winter as a fridge. A cold beer with small ice crystal in it is just THE BEST. Or soda jist before it gets frozen with small ice crystal in the drink. Most refreshing ever
It's annoying that he believes this only happens in Canada. I can verify that the northeastern US can get snow like that too. I live in Toronto and we never get that much snow.
@@christina311uss You guys dont? I am in Montreal and have family up north too. Both places do. Mo treal a bit less but we still do! I always tought you guys would get as much if not more due to being close to the lakes.
@@natachalaurent6326 We've got a magnetic one stuck to the side of the fridge, but I gave up trying to figure it out lol... occasionally I'll see someone else use it, but since I'm usually the one changing the milk bags around here it doesn't get much use lol
I live in Vancouver and we don't have bagged milk here. It was tried decades ago but it didn't fly. Milk here comes in plastic jugs or waxed cardboard containers.
@tyler bucket - Toronto is not immune to quakes, but they usually originate from New York. Some have shaken buildings here.. but none have ever taken out the CN Tower. lol
You have to band the milk jug on the counter before you cut it or it’s floppy and I think there is only a couple provinces that have bagged milk. I’m in Ontario and we do. I have opened so many bags with my teeth when I can’t find the cutter or scissors lol
I have never seen this kind of chicken! Right now we have a bad Prime Minister and he is taxing us to death. We can hardly wait for 2025 so we can vote him out.
7:07 that coaster is so fun. Been on it a few times. You controll the brakes, if you want. Or just push the handle forward to have no brakes the whole way down for more fun
For me, ketchup only on the rare occasion I have a burger or smokie/hot dog. Personally I don't know anyone who uses much ketchup, even for fries. I like mayo or mayo and hot sauce combo for those myself. The only ketchup I'll use is French's no sugar (with stevia). I do like ketchup chips though 😋
@@incensejunkie7516I only use French's as well. And I definitely use it on fries and burgers, as well as Kraft dinner. I do know people who dip their fries in mayo. Is that a Canadian thing? I never see that in the States when I visit family.
Yes at some mountain resorts, even smaller mountains like Blue Mountain in Collingwood, ON there are go-karts on rails or in a half pike or luge type track with a manual control joystick to speed up, slow down or brake. It’s kind of a gravity operated single person roller coaster ride.
This first was likely from that snow storm in the east coast this year that had especially Cape Breton buried In snow and not typical. The drumstick is obviously a misprints it was suppose to be 20 not 200.
@@chickenwings6172it makea perfect sense to me. Our house has one of them of th side of the porch, the floor needs to be rebuilt some time. Laundry vents or dryer vents are a common thing, not every one wants to deal with frozen clothes in winter with clothes line...never mind the snow burrying the clothes lines and such. If it was always warm here and sunny clothes lines would be everywhere. But these days on NL there kids who don't know what a clothes line is. Washer n dryer is ehat every one has even in apartments.
Even way up North, they would rather raise their own chickens for drumsticks than pay that price! And NEVER at Costco, unless it’s the entire farms worth
Snow can get pretty bad during the winters… digging a winter cubby out of compact snow, after a snowfall like that, is actually pretty common. Since moving from Kitchener to Stayner (Ontario), I’ve noticed the drastic change. Down there chicken is the cheapest meat, I practically lived off it for my incomparidon to other meats. Like beef or Pork was much more expensive. Down there, there’s far more poultry & done dairy in comparison to ranches which down there is very few if any, so raising cattle for meat was not as common as it is up here. Chicken is the most expensive, while beef & pork are far cheaper. Also Costco (where they mentioned they were shopping) is a bulk-department store. It’s not your typical grocery store. A price like that, at Costco is not unusual. Back 20 years ago I remember going with my grandma & a few of I think there was 32-36 eggs per crate/carton, she got a few of them & it was well over 80$ cad. The milk… while cutting corners (pun semi intended) may seem a simple feet, though when it goes wrong it becomes an issue, depending on who your dealing with I’ve seen it go down great…. Like your government attempting to increase authority against gun ownership down in the US (figuratively). The biggest issue is the trifecta of issues, the jug was likely too small, the included cutter likely didn’t cut correctly, as much of the time it gets caught & rips, not every jug comes with a cutter, personally I use scissors, more trustworthy. The other issue…. The bag wasn’t locked in correctly. Just placing it in the jug doesn’t mean it’s in, much of the time, myself included, one may forget to shake it in place., which also sometimes doesn’t work to plan. I cannot express how often these have happened to me. The earthquake… it happens but not as much as warmer climates. Skyscrapers can move like that in earthquakes.
Im not oppsess with maple. I only have 2 type of maple syrop, mapke sugar, maple spread, maple candy, maple protain powder, maple liqor and maple bacon thats all 😂
That amount of snow is only in certain areas. One is my hometown area three hours from Toronto due to the effects of the Great Lakes (like Buffalo gets it).
The CN Tower footage might have been bot, but it can actually do it. It is designed to have something like 10 feet of sway. There is a fault under the Ottawa area so yes, Toronto does get earthquakes.

Not the same country,in 2 years I will never come back here,my estate is being built as we speak down south.
The problem with making Poutine in most areas of North America (even parts of Canada) is access to the essential ingredient; cheese curds. Quebec produces lots of cheese curd; which you can often buy directly from the producer or at the supermarket. This is not the case in most provinces in Canada or in the USA. Try to find it where you live?

My mom always says what poutine has to have cheese curds and the best fries for poutine is shoe string fries but the universal fries for poutine is standard cut or natural cut.
For those who are wondering, yes the cut of fries matters.
The cut of fry will change the texture of the potato it’s made off.
Standard/ natural cut keeps heat and moisture in which adds a perfect balance to the fry complementing the dish with out compromising on the size of the fry
Crinkle cut are a little more dry texture but still is like the standard cut, just doesn’t hold as much moisture, which means your meal is going to feel alittle more Heavy then the standard cut but if your looking for something more filling without adding more calories to your dish this is the way to go.
Wedges are a dryer fry and quite dense. So if you’re making a poutine with this make sure you have something to drink. Many restaurants that make this usually water down the gravy to balance the texture but it down plays the other parts that make poutine great and they tend to add way to much spices to balance it out and it doesn’t taste the same
Waffle fries can be hit or miss on texture. You either get it right or not but because of how the fry reacts with the gravy it makes the textures weird and downplays the flavour of the dish. It makes it a little more bland.
Shoe string cut is a crunchy and light fry. The crunch of the fry allows the gravy to get into the fry a little without making a mushy fry. Which balances out the texture of the dish and complements each other to make a more satisfying poutine.
Curly cut you either like it or you don’t. It still is a good fry but personally poutine with this cut isn’t right for me. The curly fry makes the same taste as the shoe string but has the texture of an under cooked fry. So many people fix this by over cooking the fry but it still doesn’t have a consistent enough texture for a poutine in my opinion but is still a good option for most people without sensory issues
There is so many more I could do but those are the basics that I can think of right now.
Poutine isn’t just fries gravy and cheese. It’s a symphony of flavours and textures that is not easy to perfect, especially when so many people prefer different balances with in their dishes.
However, after a night out and you're one eye drunk but need a snack. Oven fries, pre shredded mozza and/or cheddar cheese and a can of gravy or packet gravy mix will scratch the itch.
WRONG....AMERICA DOES HAVE BEEF GRAVY...same as Canada!!
You're thinking of Southern White Gravy,you silly Canadian...fyi:I have duel citizenship..American/Canadian and lived in both countries and know more than most about the countries!
@@mypronouniswtf5559 Is right Chelsey, Americans know how to make a fine brown gravy, they have more types of gravy than us Canucks can throw a stick at and they all begin properly with a roux.

You DIP the grilled cheese...you *don't* put ketchup ON it
YESS
I won't have a grilled cheese without the stuff. When I was a kid I thought it was nasty, then I tried it. I'm not a ketchup person, but if I'm doing the sandwich or making meatloaf it's a must
I live in southern Ontario. We had a very very soft winter, very little snow!
I live in Hamilton. I was very disappointed not to get a real winter. 😢
It was awesome to get a break this year.
im still salty about it
I’m in eastern Canada and can confirm it was a very lack lustre winter this year
@@SoothingSounds.876 Then it really was a mild winter all around. We've gotten used to seeing the crazy storms you get down east, and I don't remember seeing anything much this past winter.
JOSEPH!!! (the bag milk guy) I love that guy and his friend from the US - they do vids together comparing Canadian things to US things...so much fun!
Ketchup on scrambled eggs is good shit
As kids we used to love those huge snow drifts for digging out forts. That is basically what the first guy did. They are pretty warm and cozy places to escape freezing your ass off.
If youve never dipped your grilled cheese in ketchup you're missing out.
Ketchup & grilled cheese go together like milk n' cookies.
So good.. although putting ketchup on KD is too much for me
@@stephaniec9539 had a buddy who put ketchup on French toast. It's not... Terrible. It simply can't compete with Maple syrup.
The drumsticks were a typo error. It's bad here but not that bad. Although a Metro grocery store was selling watermelons for 16.99 recently in Ontario.
I doubt that was real too..
I saw that in Montreal - told my friend that's just supermarket trying to run up a crazy markup on watermelons. And they were small too! That's why i never shop at Metro.
Metro is not a regular people store that's for sure, my broke a$$ is going to basics 😂
I'm still waiting for the first "Tyler visits Canada" vlog... and tastes authentic poutine in Québec
Yep, Ottawa's old gaol (jail), built in 1862, has been turned into a hostel. You can spend the night in a cell. The ones on the top floor, death row, are super narrow. I had a friend who barely fit. He was big and tall and couldn't turn around without exiting the cell. They were restored as close as possible to their original 1800 conditions, except for the windows and heating and such. You used to be able to tour it as part of a "haunted walk" around downtown Ottawa, but as of last year (2023) the new company running the hostel decided to cancel their contract with Haunted Walks Ottawa. It's a bummer. It was a fun part of their tours.
I use scissors for bag milk
Scissors is for the weak, sheltered, subhumans!!!! 😡🦫
Ketchup on chicken is something this Canadian has never even seen, Dipping a grilled cheese tip in ketchup is pretty standard. If you're into a grilled cheese made with real cheese(s), any variety of mustard applied to the insides of the bread is crazy good.
Maybe they mean like chicken strips or nuggets, but yeah I've not seen it on drumsticks or anything like that
I like it on the white meat when you cook a full chicken.
I put ketchup on my galvaude (poutine with green peas and chicken)
@@shimik11 would be good with no peas. :)
@@shimik11 ketchup and gravy on fries is so good :)
Deer stand like that to sort of intimidate each other. If it doesn't work, they fight.

Where i live in Canada the elementary schools have buddy benches. Its the same as friendship bench in that when someone sits on the bench, it shows that someone can come to sit and talk with the person so they dont feel alone or lonely
'Bring them inside' is a meme. It's the part that comes after 'If you're cold, they're cold ...' and the meme is generally applied to an obviously wild or dangerous animal. It's making a joke of a PSA directed at pet owners intending to convince them to let their pets inside when it is cold out.
Got real hard to be a Husky or double coated breed owner for a while, everyone had to build a heated doghouse that would never get used and field accusations of neglect when the dog refused to come in. One woman had to erect signs pointing out the unused heated shelter and the dogs obvious comfort and requesting to be left alone. Lol, she was so done with the nonsense.
@@terramarini6880 Didn't know the details of it myself. I've never actually seen one of the PSAs. Could be that they don't show them in BC. Could be that I haven't watched cable/network tv in 20 years. Agreed about the silliness though. Yes, the animals that pulled sleds in Yukon and Alaska for weeks at a time are gonna be okay outside for a bit. Same with all the other animals adapted to living in such balmy environments. Which explains the power of the meme.
I went to the sugar shack (cabane à sucre) this week-end with family and friends. When you pass beside the boilers shed where they boil the maple sap to transform it to maple syrup, the smell is just wonderful. When your in the shed, it's just WOW! Then there's the maple taffy on snow (tire d’érable). Hot maple syrup is poured over fresh, clean snow. The syrup quickly cools and thickens, allowing you to roll it onto a popsicle stick for a chewy, maple-infused lollipop. You can't stop at only one stick.
In Quebec City some stores do it year round on shaved ice.
"Give up" is not in real Canadians' vocabulary. That is what separates us from everyone else.
I give up all the time. What are you talking about? 😅
"give 'r"
@@VeryCherryCherry married, are you?
Living on a houseboat means paying no annual land taxes, you pay moorage fees that can be equivalent to taxes depending where, but it’s usually a lot less.
The taxes pay for roads, schools, medical, mail delivery, libraries, sidewalks, policing, sewer,
garbage collection & more. Those on a houseboat have a car and have/or had children in school. The only thing they are avoiding is having a front lawn or rear garden. So, they do not even have a piece of earth their boat is living on so it cannot be sold or subdivided or a bigger structure be placed there. Essentially they are POOR. Taxes don't take your job into account or your bank account. Never did, never will.
I'm Canadian and just bought 10 drum sticks for $9 bucks. Yes up in the yukon, Northern BC, Northern Alberta working on the pipeline were you have to cross ice roads to get the product. Yes really expensive. 🫰 Block of cheese $35 bucks. Carton of Milk $27 dollars 😳 but drum sticks $202 dollars? That's were I draw the line😅
That milk jug thing is not normal - thats why it's next level! Also cut the same size hole at the front and back of the bag to make it flow easier.
“Friendship bench” aka “buddy benches “… started in elementary schools for kids that were lonely. Moved to into high schools as well. Usually they were outside by the playgrounds . The idea is : If you need a friend to play on the playground with , just sit on the bench and wait a bit until other kids that also need friends to play with come to the bench too. Then those kids play together .
So it’s a social thing .
I would say that just about every public bench in Canada is a 'friendship' bench. I've met a lot of very nice people on benches. :)
I have had jump off the 2nd story of our house to dig out the front door many times
The tunnel in the snow, is them working to get out… one year New Brunswick got over 100 inches of snow
There are several fault lines across Canada. We even have a few volcanoes! Swaying is part of the way the buildings maintain their balance and absorb the stress.
Ya but a) afaik there isn't a major fautlines through downtown Toronto and b) the amount all of that is swaying would be a major quake.
@@LiqdPT Actually that's pretty normal swaying for a windy day...no earthquake required.
@@LiqdPT the fault line is in Lake Ontario.
I've been to the Revelstoke mountain coaster. It's a ski resort, where they've added this attraction for summer.
The bobbing houses are houseboats.. homes built to float on lakes. Bobbing is likely due to a passing boat.
$200 for drumsticks?😆Not a chance in hell. That was an obvious labelling error.
Did you know, Canadian build homes have doors that swing in, and USA doors swing out? The reason is because of the snow 😆
Yup, some have both though. We have 2 doors at each doorway, plus an interior door inside to separate the porch or mudroom or wtvr from the rest of the house. Also most homes make aure to have the windows you can open and step out through if you getbsnowed in elswhere. Smaller size house with basement that floods routinely, and is a toolshop essentially, with 4 or 5 potential exits. There used to be a hatch in the porch to go downstairs but that go boarded up and the stairs removed years ago.
@@wepntechscreen doors swing out house doors swing in.
What he said^
What are you on about? A house door swings in. They may have an extra screen or storm door that swings out. That's been the same way everywhere I've lived in both countries.
Yeah? So how do they hang doors in Minnesota? Or Wisconsin? Or Vermont or New York? All of those places have a lot more snow that many parts of Canada.
Most people I know just use scissors to cut bagged milk, I've yet to see a jug that comes with a cutter myself
Fun fact. Our CN Tower actually does sway up to 7 feet in each direction when winds are high. Also, You can actually get video of it swaying just like that by recording it and then speeding up the video. See how fast the pedestrians are moving...Also, our Winters have gotten so cold in some areas and with the destruction of so much natural habitat, moose, deer, small game etc frequently freeze to death now. Which sucks for hunters... (And animals) LoL
I really enjoy your videos. Canada will be great again!!!!! I'd like to know how you became interested in Canadian Culture?
This hide out is probably your best chance of survival in a snow storm!
How legendary the Canadian winter is made me bust out laughing. We do not find it legendary Tyler, we find it to be just another annoyance 🖖.
They have a monorail gravity ride down a mountain in Blue Mountain, Ontario. It’s fun.
22:30 usually hallways are named for donors the way colleges name buildings after donors.
The classic beavertail is simply brown sugar and cinnamon. This was something my parents and grandparents used to put on toast; but has now gone out of fashion and replaced by peanut butter and jam. Another classic my father likes is peanut butter and molasses (mixed together) on toast!
When we install moved to Ottawa, we had never heard of Beavertails. My brother discovered them first and had me convinced for almost a year that they were made from real Beavers! Now, you can find them in most tourist hotspots.
Beaver Tails are also called Elephant Ears in some places. And typically the topping is sugar and cinnamon.. though now other toppings are becoming popular
'' What's going on everyone, I'm just a typical, average American, here today to react and ENJOY some Canadian Tiktoks." This really touched my heart, Tyler is not learning anymore about Canada.. He's enjoying it now ! I love it :)
I can confirm the amount of snow is normal. One of my favorite thing is to use the winter as a fridge. A cold beer with small ice crystal in it is just THE BEST. Or soda jist before it gets frozen with small ice crystal in the drink. Most refreshing ever
Yeah, in winter, if we run out of room in the deep freeze, we put some of it outside.
It's annoying that he believes this only happens in Canada. I can verify that the northeastern US can get snow like that too. I live in Toronto and we never get that much snow.
Un véritable connaisseur hahah🤗
@@christina311uss You guys dont? I am in Montreal and have family up north too. Both places do. Mo treal a bit less but we still do!

@@natachalaurent6326 We've got a magnetic one stuck to the side of the fridge, but I gave up trying to figure it out lol... occasionally I'll see someone else use it, but since I'm usually the one changing the milk bags around here it doesn't get much use lol
I live in Vancouver and we don't have bagged milk here. It was tried decades ago but it didn't fly. Milk here comes in plastic jugs or waxed cardboard containers.
Very possible and usually from Ontario to the Eastern provinces
A moose hanging out by the dryer vent 😂
And you get the added benefit of smelling like a Bounce sheet 😊
@tyler bucket - Toronto is not immune to quakes, but they usually originate from New York. Some have shaken buildings here.. but none have ever taken out the CN Tower. lol
We can get between 5-6 FEET of snow in the winter season in New Brunswick Canada but winter 2023-24 we were spared.
Really??? I always though you guys got a lot of snow. I didn't realize it was basically what we get in a single snowfall.
A Canadian here..that animal that was outside is a cow also known as a female moose. Or it could be a bull (male moose) that shed its antlers.
A pound of butter is $8 in Toronto, ridiculous. I've started making my own, thanks youtube!
Everything’s more expensive in Toronto, it’s Toronto…
😂 In Ottawa depending on the store it can and flyer sales $4.88 to $7.99.
@@victoriafrost5461 yes, just got four for $4.88 @ Food Basics yesterday, limit was six. Make my own but good to have backup, i bake a lot.
You have to band the milk jug on the counter before you cut it or it’s floppy and I think there is only a couple provinces that have bagged milk. I’m in Ontario and we do. I have opened so many bags with my teeth when I can’t find the cutter or scissors lol
Those drum sticks must have gold wrappers. I bought chicken yesterday for $12.
Yep... That is a joke. At Costco... It is a misprint!
Could be in Nunavut, those prices are outrageous
@@guyprovost I have to agree with you. The most I have paid is 12.50. I really think it is a misprint.

I have never seen this kind of chicken! Right now we have a bad Prime Minister and he is taxing us to death. We can hardly wait for 2025 so we can vote him out.
7:07 that coaster is so fun. Been on it a few times. You controll the brakes, if you want. Or just push the handle forward to have no brakes the whole way down for more fun
The wood tower is located in Quebec province in a region called the Laurentian. About 2hrs north of Montreal.
We have a similar one in BC. The Malahat Skywalk.
There is a small mountain coaster near us in Collingwood Ontario.
I put ketchup on scrambled eggs only
As do I, yum!
For me, ketchup only on the rare occasion I have a burger or smokie/hot dog. Personally I don't know anyone who uses much ketchup, even for fries. I like mayo or mayo and hot sauce combo for those myself.
The only ketchup I'll use is French's no sugar (with stevia).
I do like ketchup chips though 😋
@@incensejunkie7516I only use French's as well. And I definitely use it on fries and burgers, as well as Kraft dinner.
I do know people who dip their fries in mayo. Is that a Canadian thing? I never see that in the States when I visit family.
Ketchup on eggs! You’re nasty.
I’ve dipped my fries in mayo, ketchup, and mayochup. All are good
Yes at some mountain resorts, even smaller mountains like Blue Mountain in Collingwood, ON there are go-karts on rails or in a half pike or luge type track with a manual control joystick to speed up, slow down or brake.
It’s kind of a gravity operated single person roller coaster ride.
Currently, we have huge problem with food price... that's true
This first was likely from that snow storm in the east coast this year that had especially Cape Breton buried In snow and not typical. The drumstick is obviously a misprints it was suppose to be 20 not 200.
Buddy in the first video was just out for a dart
as soon as you said "I am done living in a world where drumsticks are 200$" it cut to an add break...LOL Great transition!
About the mountain rollercoaster: MINERS use that to go down the mou tain faster. There are a lot of them in Quebec.
That price is a typo but we are gouged on food prices the detriment of having only 2 conglomerates owning all our groceries
Bring the animal into the barn (the one with the cow in it)
We still have to go to work with this amount of snow 😢
They did indeed have an earthquake in Ontario recently
No we Didn't !!!
Don't tell lie's.
I live downtown. It does happen, but it is rare.
There was a recent earthquake in northern NY state that was felt in many areas of southern Ontario. I remember this meme showing up the next day.
Toronto and the surrounding areas get 2 earthquakes every year on average. They might not be strong enough to be felt downtown each time tho.

Laundry vents or dryer vents are a common thing, not every one wants to deal with frozen clothes in winter with clothes line...never mind the snow burrying the clothes lines and such. If it was always warm here and sunny clothes lines would be everywhere. But these days on NL there kids who don't know what a clothes line is. Washer n dryer is ehat every one has even in apartments.
@@chickenwings6172Ummm it makes perfect sense. Maybe you need to learn to read?
@@chickenwings6172what are you clucking about?
Even way up North, they would rather raise their own chickens for drumsticks than pay that price! And NEVER at Costco, unless it’s the entire farms worth
I call BS on 200$ drumsticks. Maybe 20$.
It was a typo.
Yes, surely a misprint
Not if she lives in the Yukon or the Northwest Territories, I believe it, their prices there are fucking insane
Snow can get pretty bad during the winters… digging a winter cubby out of compact snow, after a snowfall like that, is actually pretty common.
Since moving from Kitchener to Stayner (Ontario), I’ve noticed the drastic change. Down there chicken is the cheapest meat, I practically lived off it for my incomparidon to other meats. Like beef or Pork was much more expensive. Down there, there’s far more poultry & done dairy in comparison to ranches which down there is very few if any, so raising cattle for meat was not as common as it is up here. Chicken is the most expensive, while beef & pork are far cheaper. Also Costco (where they mentioned they were shopping) is a bulk-department store. It’s not your typical grocery store. A price like that, at Costco is not unusual. Back 20 years ago I remember going with my grandma & a few of I think there was 32-36 eggs per crate/carton, she got a few of them & it was well over 80$ cad.
The milk… while cutting corners (pun semi intended) may seem a simple feet, though when it goes wrong it becomes an issue, depending on who your dealing with I’ve seen it go down great…. Like your government attempting to increase authority against gun ownership down in the US (figuratively). The biggest issue is the trifecta of issues, the jug was likely too small, the included cutter likely didn’t cut correctly, as much of the time it gets caught & rips, not every jug comes with a cutter, personally I use scissors, more trustworthy. The other issue…. The bag wasn’t locked in correctly. Just placing it in the jug doesn’t mean it’s in, much of the time, myself included, one may forget to shake it in place., which also sometimes doesn’t work to plan. I cannot express how often these have happened to me.
The earthquake… it happens but not as much as warmer climates. Skyscrapers can move like that in earthquakes.

That amount of snow is only in certain areas. One is my hometown area three hours from Toronto due to the effects of the Great Lakes (like Buffalo gets it).
In a different video you discovered that we are the foremost consumer of macaroni and cheese. Some of us also put ketchup on that
The CN Tower footage might have been bot, but it can actually do it. It is designed to have something like 10 feet of sway. There is a fault under the Ottawa area so yes, Toronto does get earthquakes.

The problem with making Poutine in most areas of North America (even parts of Canada) is access to the essential ingredient; cheese curds. Quebec produces lots of cheese curd; which you can often buy directly from the producer or at the supermarket. This is not the case in most provinces in Canada or in the USA. Try to find it where you live?
You can find them easily in British Columbia
Easy to find here in Alberta as well lol
Good thing i live in Québec, the home of poutine🤤🤤
I have 3 dairy stores near me, southern Ontario, all of them sell cheese curds.
I live in Southern Ontario, and every grocery store sells curds. It's a common food item.
That first little video with all the snow. Yes I have seen it happen. I worked in one place where you can get snow drifts up to 60 feet.
