@@nobosnobo super ignorant. Like did he think Canada was an empty wasteland before Europeans got here? Hmmmmm, he probably thinks Canada was settled by Americans. They really are that ignorant
As a Canadian I’m always surprised by Americans lack of knowledge of their largest trading partner, and only partner in the defence of North America. It’s disturbing that they don’t realize how much farther north Canada goes and just how big it is. And before I get trolled realize there are no American military bases in Canada, and we provide troops and funds for NORAD. We contribute to NATO and as UN peacekeepers. We fought and lost troops in the battle against terror as well. To finish my rant 😉 Canadian history is interesting as well.
You should never be amazed by Americans' ignorance. My son had a conversation with an American woman at one of destinations shown on the video. She was dumbfounded and quite indignant as to why the pop machine would not accept US dollars. My son pointed out to her that she was in Canada.
@@lorrainehinchliffe5371 Its easy to claim things that make you feel good but Canada didn't burn the white house down, Britain did. Canada wasn't Canada until 1867. That said, Canada has never been in a war that it lost and the USA has never been in a war that they won.
@@NovaSupernova a little nit picky since it was the army originating in what will be Canada but if it makes you feel better fine , your information is correct
I once knew a professor from Kentucky who asked me if we had birds in Canada. I also knew a teacher from New York who asked me if Alberta was in Quebec. So, yeah, if those who educate in America don't know the most basic things about Canada...
My favourite was a Whitehorse local being asked if they have trees. They would be warned, with a straight face, about the grizzly bears going through town. 😂
9:47 The lower parts of Canada are in the same latitude and longitudes as the wine growing regions of Bordeaux, Italy, Germany, and France in general. We make award-winning wines that are beginning to be accepted by wine writers and wine fans all around. BC and Ontario plus Quebec make up the majority of wine production in Canada. We even once beat champagne wines with a sparkling wine of ours in a blind tasting in France. There are other places in Canada as well like Nova Scotia, PEI, and New Brunswick.
And there is Jost in NS, which has been winning the major awards in the world lately beating out such powerhouses such as France, Germany and New Zealand.
I live in the desert just 20 miles north of the border with Washington state. This area is known as "wine country" and it's true. We also have orchards. Our wines are known around the world ( except, apparently, our nearest neighbour ) and have won international awards.
I don't think many people can understand that Osoyoos is hotter in summer than most parts of the US. They think Canada = snow. I lived in Victoria where people couldn't handle even a tiny bit of snow. They forget how to drive.
@@JayDeeMC I have to say the drivers around here aren't much better. Mind you we do have alot of old farts around here (as an old fart myself I can say that) but then I learned to drive in the north Okonogon in the 60's when four feet of snow was not uncommon.
@@JayDeeMC It’s not that we don’t know how to drive, it’s that our snow is often a lot slushier than the snow back East or on the Prairies. Plus, we don’t have long spells with snow. Might snow for 1 or 2 days then melts.
I lived in Windsor Ont and my mom lived in Michigan. I was at a store one hour from the Canadian border. Bought some beer and was asked for ID so I showed her my drivers license and she said "wow your from Canada Your a long way from home" I said no it's just over a hour to the Canadian border to Windsor Ontario Canada. She had no idea she lived so close to Canada!!! Just WOW!!!!
i find it funny how little americans know about the border citys like windsor like hell it has the only privately owned international border in the world and the Americans own it
I'll never understand the "it's too cold" argument. You can layer up as much as you want, but there's only so much you can layer down, without it becoming illegal XD
And of course being from Northwestern Ontario I realized most people in the GTA think Northern Ontario starts somewhere a couple miles north of Toronto LOL I🤣
I grew up in Toronto, first around Agincourt and then the Dundas West and Bloor area. And I remember we were all minorities in my classes at school. Never gave it a second thought and wouldn't have wanted it any other way. The only problem I have is how we treat our First Nations peoples. It's a disgrace.
As an American we are not forced to be ignorant, one can always find out about any country in the world if one cares to, but it is true that school curriculum does not teach much about Canada and other countries unless you attend University wheren Western CIV and non Western cultures are mandatory courses. I moved to Vancouver in 2001 and I've learned about Canadian history and political systems. It's great up here!
It is very surprising and disapointing from citizens of the most powerful nation of the Planet, that they know so little about their immediate neighbour, I, m sure that it is the complete opposite situation from here, in Canada.
@Robbi Grimm My post was not intended to insult in any way, it was an affirmation of what it is generally perceived from our point of view, all in all, I think we share a commonly North America style of living, in regard of what we see and absorb from the medias. Be safe in this Pandemic era, and God bless all of us.
Well I’ve lived in Vegas and I’m back home in Canada and with everything going on in the USA I will be staying home 😀❤️🇨🇦. Still love my Americans friends
I couldn't care less if people from outside Canada didn't know anything about us. Doesn't add or subtract to the country I was born and raised in. I have been to a few countries. I am always pleased to come back home
I would say it's more that America is our next door neighbour, and our history is so connected with theirs. It just makes me worry about the education system and what it's teaching them that they don't know basic stuff about the country directly beside them
as a canadian you have to visit the NWT and the Yukon the scenery is stunning and the people are amazing. i lived in Inuvik for just over 2 months and once you get use to the 24H daylight ( i was there in the summer months) its such an amazing place
I’m Canadian but lived in Illinois as a kid for a while and people in school were convinced I was going to Canada to spend my summers in snow. I ended up bringing photos of my cottage and a few other landscapes to prove what it was really like.
As a Canadian I was pleasantly surprised at how warm and welcoming Americans were to me when I visited. Especially, on the few occasion where they found out where I was from. They truly get an unfair rap. Would go back again in a heartbeat. We are very fortunate to have them as our neighbours.
Brief geography lesson for our American cousins. The southern tip of Ontario is further south than the northern border of California. But viticulture is more about microclimates than latitudes.
@@davesmith9858 Can you tell where the majority of people in Toronto are from? I'm Canadian I live in Toronto I beet you wouldn't be able to guess where I'm from based on my accent though.
As a Canadian, I choose to live elsewhere. Canada is one of the most expensive countries in the world. And healthcare isn't free. First, your taxes are high. Second, pharmaceuticals and "nonessential" services are costly. The government considers most preventive procedures, physiotherapy, dental and psychology nonessential, so you have to pay for extra insurance. Furthermore, life, auto, pretty much all of the insurances are extremely costly per month because there isn't much competition for the providers.
As an American I’m not sure why anyone cares what we’re thinking about their country. I don’t spend my time wondering what my neighbors think of me unless there’s a problem of some sort. Otherwise we coexist peacefully. Canadians are coming across as super insecure. “Why doesn’t America like me??” 😂 You guys are great. You’re super pretty and smart and naturally gifted. And you gave us great people like Michael J Fox, James Cameron and Keanu Reeves. We love you guys. Even though you tend to talk shit about us with England and Australia but still are hanging out at our place like all of the time. It’s fine, we still like you but we know how you are.
Man the guy who actually went to the most places in Canada knows nothing about it. Toronto is the most diverse city on the planet and indigenous culture and people are very present and very important
It always astounds me, as a Canadian, to be reminded of how little Americans know about other countries like mine. One that they share an unguarded border with. Then, I have to catch myself and acknowledge that it really isn’t Americans’ fault. This goes beyond individuals and their larger awareness - it’s the inadequate education regarding almost anything that isn’t American, it’s the filtered environment coming from being America-centric, it’s so many things.
"I thought they couldn't make wine because it was too cold" Ice wine is a thing, where the grapes are taken after being frozen and made into wine. (I don't know the details of it, so apologise for that)
Canada is so awesome and I am always surprised when Americans do not know how big, diverse and fantastic Canada is. We have more lakes in Canada than probably anywhere in the world and probably upwards of 60% of Canada is wilderness with an abundance of wildlife. If you have never been, you need to come and visit! Welcome to Canada!
The people interviewed already had a very positive impression of Canada. So they got more information from this ad for Canadian tourism (which is exactly what it is and there's nothing wrong with that). The hostility in the comments toward Americans demonstrates that one stereotype is definitely NOT true: Canadians are all nice.
As a person who lives in BC I had no idea that the wine was unexpected- I MEAN SERIOUSLY MY ENTIRE VALLEY IS BASICALLY A BIG ORCHARD- almost all my family works at a winery- there are atleast 7 just in our 1 valley…how on earth did someone not know that oh and you amarican people would be quiet surprised at how many things we can grow in Canada. (The wine is great and award winning by the way)
You cannot fault anyone for having limited geographic knowledge of surrounding countries outside their own. Our knowledge is limited to what we’ve learned, been taught or from our personal experiences. I remember thinking everyone in Alaska lived in an igloos because I read it in an Archie comic! I’ve been to every Canadian province and territory, and about travelled through 30 states, including Alaska. I’ve never left North America so my view of the rest of the world is limited to television and the internet. I’m just as amazed at how beautiful Canada is watching this, and I’ve lived here my entire life. The USA is just as vast and beautiful with great culture, because, well, nature doesn’t stop at borders!
excuses excuses. You knowledge is limited by a certain exceptional amerikan lack of curiosity. We are next door neighbours. We have fought shoulder to shoulder and died together in wars. We are cut from the same cloth in our beginnings. Yes, one can be faulted for lacking curiosity. That good ol amerikan anti intellectualism is a scourge. Perpetuated by your corporate masters. QED
As a Canadian living in Toronto, these videos make me want to see more of Canada. One downside is it's BIG. I have certainly seen all the cities through work as I have seen many of the US cities. It's the diversity of scenery across a 4k mile country that is hard to imagine.
If you can visit as much as you can. Take a coach tour that covers a specific region. You'll see quite a bit and get a taste of the cities and surrounding countryside. I've been to all the provinces that way except the Yukon and Newfoundland/Labrador. So worth it. Would love to go some more but these old bones don't travel as well as they used to. :)
My favourite part of this as a Canadian was “been there...been there....been there...!” - both the urban and natural elements. I still have so many more places to go, and always new things to see! Missing was the Butter Tart tour. ;) I’m learning about FNMI (First Nations, Métis, Inuit)...Métis are part-Indigenous. Inuit are in Nunavut, mostly, and Northwest Territories. First Nations are all other groups that are Indigenous to this part of Turtle Island (now Canada being a piece of that).
As a German born Canadian teenager plus 25 is a heatwave at least in Saskatchewan where i currently live in the summer and then compared to a person from Florida and most of America its cold I am confused on why.
I love to travel to other countries, but I love to come home to Canada. " Fly Across Canada", is a simulator about each province and is suppose to leave Vancouver and tour the country, at some point. I highly recommend it; the seats swing out over the mountains, and the feeling of water spraying on your face as you white-water raft over falls is very authentic. It is an amazing experience.
80% of Canada is regarded as uninhabited. We likely are just as ruinous of our environment but with such a low population we don’t see the feedback as severely. My province has socialized hydro electric power so we pay 8cents per kilowatt hour.
Canada like the States is a massive country that has a multitude of landscapes, it is just as diverse as our southern neighbour. People here like in the States come in all shapes and sizes and some are good and some are not. I don’t understand why this would surprise anyone.
I have long time American friends. I've worked with lots of Americans. You can't generalize about people....but...LOL... my Dad worked for a company based in Raleigh, North Carolina, and said, "Not only do they not know what's going on in the rest of the world, they don't know what's going on in the state next door." Bit harsh maybe, but the political upheaval down there is a sad indication of how uneducated a large part of the population remains. Still...America was the power of the 20th Century and should be proud of their 'can do' attitude. Not so proud of social injustices, that Canada, shame facedly shares. Now, if they could just get their school system to look beyond American mythology. Fingers crossed for America. .And us in 2021.
Grapes are also grown, and frozen on the vine, hopefully, not all provinces require that and let the vineyards remove and freeze them, but try ice wine, it’s very good.
I loved working there for a couple of weeks the Canadians were great to me, my boss couldn’t get them to work bc she was very nasty so I explained and they loved me I didn’t know I was Black for the first time in my life
To the girl who wants to see the Inuit culture you will want to go to Northern Canada. Not only will you meet many First Nations but you will get to see the Northern Lights which are incredible. It’s freezing so pack warm clothes!! Lol
Canada has award winning wines...some of the best wines in the world. Anyone who thinks we're too cold for grapes...head to the Okanagan in BC....in summer. Bring sunscreen.
I love the comments on our “great” healthcare system. It has its faults just like any system. Like it might not cost us $10000 to get a broken leg pinned, but it might take three days to get the surgery, and you will wait in the waiting room of the ER for 3 hour before seeing a doctor while a lady with the sniffles insists she is dying, and they can’t kick her out.
I wouldn't think that "lady with the sniffles" would affect your ability to see someone quicker in emerg. They triage everyone according to severity when you register.
@@sadee1287 I wish that was the case, but it often isn’t. The apathy of some (key point here, not all of them) of the people working in canadian hospitals emergency wards is shocking. The broken leg vs sniffles example is sadly a real personal experience. That lady was loud, and was in about out before I even got a room. So yeah. Then a misdiagnosis of the break (got told it wasn’t broken, that I was being a wimp, tried to walk on it the next day, broke it worse) and no consequences for those medical professionals protected by a system that protects and allows for sub par performers, and you might see why I do t have rose tinted goggles compared to others. It isn’t a flawless system, but it isn’t terrible either. There are severe flaws in both public and private styles of systems, especially Canadian public systems.
Quebec is a nice place. Western Canada is nicer. As a Canadian, as a Western Canadian. I say Try Western Canada and work your way East. B.C. Alberta, Saskatchewan Manitoba are all Great... The difference between the West and East are Noticable. Easterners move West for work Westerners pay an allowance to Quebec. Even when we have no extra. 100s of Billions of $ since it came about. Both sides have beautiful mountains. Both sides have seafood. Nova Scotia Newfoundland and PEI Have Amazing Seafood. B.C. has Great Salmon. Winter sports throughout. Come join the fun. YOU'RE always WELCOME.
the amount of stuff the guy in the blue shirt didn't know about Canada was funny. i say that politely lol. he is also how i think lots of Americans see Canada
People didn't know we had northern lights, polar bears, indigenous people or diversity? Those four things and hockey are the five main ingredients, wtf did they think we were up here lol
As a Canadian and avid traveler, I love the US as it has a lot of great placed to see and experience. I find there are a lot of great people too and really have had no issue but unlike Canada you really do need to be more aware of your surroundings and safety. Hard for a people who come from communities where we do not have to lock our house or lock down our yard. While I find there is significant ignorance with respect to Canada I do find it comical and rewarding when I "educate" these people about the reality. We have a neighbor that has an education system that focuses on themselves but I have found very similar misunderstandings in England, South Africa, European countries as well. To the point where our vast distances between cities and the expanses of virtually uninhabited countryside is fearful to them! If you get a chance explore the US - I particularly like the southwest states. Fantastic landscapes and usually warm weather.
Did you know Canada is the biggest pollutor and mining predator in Latinamerica? We even have a joke. When you visit Canada: insert pictures of beautiful landscapes. When Canada visits you: insert devastated landscape and people.
@@brandoncampanaro7571 Yes, there are few natural obstacles all the way from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico. A nasty winter storm can go all the way from the far north down to Texas. But usually it will stop in the middle of the US plains states. In Regina we hardly even got a chinook from Alberta, they always seemed to stop at Moose Jaw!
When she said "That's Montreal", looking at the landscape in front of what looks like "Chateau Frontenac" I would have to say that is Quebec city and not Montreal.
Twenty years ago I came to Canada for a visit... Canada embraced me and I've been smitten ever since! The USA may be "where I'm from", but Canada is Home. ❤

@@bskec2177 actually ou are wrong. I don't believe almost all polar bears live in Canada. 'Almost all' would be like saying nearly all. But not nearly all polar bears live in Canada. 'Most' indicate just the majority of polar nears live in canada. 2/3 of all polar bears live in Canada which is the majority but not nearly all. Your change would change the entire meaning.
@@aikhis Your phrasing of "most all" is not in contemporary usage in NA English. If you want to indicate a simply majority, you just use "most", and if you want to indicate closer to the totality, you would say "almost all". "Most all" is an archaic phrasing, and so is confusing to many readers. This what I was trying to get across, and not the actual distribution of polar bears.
This shows how un-informed the Americians are ! Most of the ordinary Americans do even know their own country so how would the even know about Canada !
To be fair, there are plenty of people out there--on both sides of the border--who don't know much about much. Many average Canadians know little about their history, geography or politics and also likely have misconceptions about Americans.
Botsuwannago Go Yeah, as an American, these people were saying things that were so dumb, I figured it must be staged. How does someone reach that age in life & not know anything about Canada? I mean, even if you’ve never studied about the country, common sense would tell you where polar bears are & none of these people have ever seen pictures of Banff, or Vancouver? How do you not know that Canada has mountains, forests & an east coast filled with maritime communities?
Starting in grade three, Canadians learn about the world. I still have my mandatory school projects on England, China and Australia from grade 5. Maybe the States should adopt this curriculum?
I live in Nova Scotia. Born here, adopted, taken to the US and moved back several years ago thank heavens! I never gave up my Canadian citizenship nor did I take US citizenship. Was there on a green card. Nova Scotia is a whole other world from mainland Canada and Newfoundland is even more different. So don't forget the Maritimers! 8-)

It’s funny that he said “I didn’t know Canada made wine, I thought it was too cold” when southern Ontario is almost on the same latitude as Italy. But I guess when you have no clue about Celsius it just looks colder on Canadian weather reports
Latitude has nothing to do with it, it is the climate. Ottawa is roughly on the same latitude as Milan, do you think that makes Ottawa as warm as Milan? Wish it did....
It should also be noted that 90% of the country lives within 100 miles of the US border so for the bulk of us it's just a wee bit colder here then our US neighbors just to the South of us on the border.

We refer to our natives as First Nations and they play an integral part of what it means to be Canadian.

It’s a humbling experience for anyone that knows.

I was born and raised in brampton Ontario, just outside of Toronto. One of the most diverse places in the world
Greetings from Waterloo Region! 👍🏻
And of course being from Northwestern Ontario I realized most people in the GTA think Northern Ontario starts somewhere a couple miles north of Toronto LOL I🤣
I grew up in Toronto, first around Agincourt and then the Dundas West and Bloor area. And I remember we were all minorities in my classes at school. Never gave it a second thought and wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
The only problem I have is how we treat our First Nations peoples. It's a disgrace.
@@normanflint8757 there are few Canadians left in the GTA.
fellow Brampton here!! hi
These people seem super nice, but America forces them to be so ignorant of the rest of the world it's insulting.
As an American we are not forced to be ignorant, one can always find out about any country in the world if one cares to, but it is true that school curriculum does not teach much about Canada and other countries unless you attend University wheren Western CIV and non Western cultures are mandatory courses. I moved to Vancouver in 2001 and I've learned about Canadian history and political systems. It's great up here!
It is very surprising and disapointing from citizens of the most powerful nation of the Planet, that they know so little about their immediate neighbour, I, m sure that it is the complete opposite situation from here, in Canada.
@@jelau4851 these people don’t represent all Americans hush
@Robbi Grimm America puts ITSELF under the microscope. America broadcasts it internationally. Don't be upset when the globe reacts.
@Robbi Grimm My post was not intended to insult in any way, it was an affirmation of what it is generally perceived from our point of view, all in all, I think we share a commonly North America style of living, in regard of what we see and absorb from the medias. Be safe in this Pandemic era, and God bless all of us.

I couldn't care less if people from outside Canada didn't know anything about us. Doesn't add or subtract to the country I was born and raised in. I have been to a few countries. I am always pleased to come back home
I would say it's more that America is our next door neighbour, and our history is so connected with theirs. It just makes me worry about the education system and what it's teaching them that they don't know basic stuff about the country directly beside them
as a canadian you have to visit the NWT and the Yukon the scenery is stunning and the people are amazing. i lived in Inuvik for just over 2 months and once you get use to the 24H daylight ( i was there in the summer months) its such an amazing place
I’m Canadian but lived in Illinois as a kid for a while and people in school were convinced I was going to Canada to spend my summers in snow. I ended up bringing photos of my cottage and a few other landscapes to prove what it was really like.
As a Canadian I was pleasantly surprised at how warm and welcoming Americans were to me when I visited. Especially, on the few occasion where they found out where I was from. They truly get an unfair rap. Would go back again in a heartbeat. We are very fortunate to have them as our neighbours.
Why is it when people think of Canada its always "oh its so cold up there" most of Canada isnt cold till winter
Even in the winter its not even that cold in the major tourist areas, except quebec city maybe.
Brief geography lesson for our American cousins. The southern tip of Ontario is further south than the northern border of California.
But viticulture is more about microclimates than latitudes.
Omg lol. How do you NOT know these things? We’re right next door! People in L.A. thought I was from NZ......I’m from Newfoundland!
bwahahahahahaha geography aside how the fuck could you confuse those accents
Lmao...... most people think I’m Italian, but I’m french-native Newfoundlander. The lack of world education is mind blowing
The majority of people in Toronto wouldn't have a clue where you were from cause they are not even real Canadians.
@@davesmith9858 Can you tell where the majority of people in Toronto are from? I'm Canadian I live in Toronto I beet you wouldn't be able to guess where I'm from based on my accent though.
As a Canadian, I choose to live elsewhere. Canada is one of the most expensive countries in the world. And healthcare isn't free. First, your taxes are high. Second, pharmaceuticals and "nonessential" services are costly. The government considers most preventive procedures, physiotherapy, dental and psychology nonessential, so you have to pay for extra insurance. Furthermore, life, auto, pretty much all of the insurances are extremely costly per month because there isn't much competition for the providers.
As an American I’m not sure why anyone cares what we’re thinking about their country. I don’t spend my time wondering what my neighbors think of me unless there’s a problem of some sort. Otherwise we coexist peacefully. Canadians are coming across as super insecure. “Why doesn’t America like me??” 😂 You guys are great. You’re super pretty and smart and naturally gifted. And you gave us great people like Michael J Fox, James Cameron and Keanu Reeves. We love you guys. Even though you tend to talk shit about us with England and Australia but still are hanging out at our place like all of the time. It’s fine, we still like you but we know how you are.
You are super humorous
Man the guy who actually went to the most places in Canada knows nothing about it. Toronto is the most diverse city on the planet and indigenous culture and people are very present and very important
Didn't know we had northern lights? Really? We are well known for aurora up north here.
It always astounds me, as a Canadian, to be reminded of how little Americans know about other countries like mine. One that they share an unguarded border with. Then, I have to catch myself and acknowledge that it really isn’t Americans’ fault. This goes beyond individuals and their larger awareness - it’s the inadequate education regarding almost anything that isn’t American, it’s the filtered environment coming from being America-centric, it’s so many things.
"I thought they couldn't make wine because it was too cold"
Ice wine is a thing, where the grapes are taken after being frozen and made into wine. (I don't know the details of it, so apologise for that)
Canada is so awesome and I am always surprised when Americans do not know how big, diverse and fantastic Canada is. We have more lakes in Canada than probably anywhere in the world and probably upwards of 60% of Canada is wilderness with an abundance of wildlife. If you have never been, you need to come and visit! Welcome to Canada!
Wow the stuff these people are surprised by. Polar Bears, Northern Lights, Wine, First Nations people, Cowboys.
Canada's Wine Country is South of Detroit, also the climate where we grow our grapes for wine is very similar to mountainous regions the world over.
The people interviewed already had a very positive impression of Canada. So they got more information from this ad for Canadian tourism (which is exactly what it is and there's nothing wrong with that). The hostility in the comments toward Americans demonstrates that one stereotype is definitely NOT true: Canadians are all nice.
As a Canadian I just want to say, thank you. This was beautiful.
As a person who lives in BC I had no idea that the wine was unexpected- I MEAN SERIOUSLY MY ENTIRE VALLEY IS BASICALLY A BIG ORCHARD- almost all my family works at a winery- there are atleast 7 just in our 1 valley…how on earth did someone not know that
oh and you amarican people would be quiet surprised at how many things we can grow in Canada. (The wine is great and award winning by the way)
One of these ladies said the Prime Minister is great. As a Canadian I can say he is NOT.
I saw where I liVe and for some reason that makes me so happy
and so scared
You cannot fault anyone for having limited geographic knowledge of surrounding countries outside their own. Our knowledge is limited to what we’ve learned, been taught or from our personal experiences. I remember thinking everyone in Alaska lived in an igloos because I read it in an Archie comic! I’ve been to every Canadian province and territory, and about travelled through 30 states, including Alaska. I’ve never left North America so my view of the rest of the world is limited to television and the internet. I’m just as amazed at how beautiful Canada is watching this, and I’ve lived here my entire life. The USA is just as vast and beautiful with great culture, because, well, nature doesn’t stop at borders!
excuses excuses. You knowledge is limited by a certain exceptional amerikan lack of curiosity. We are next door neighbours. We have fought shoulder to shoulder and died together in wars. We are cut from the same cloth in our beginnings. Yes, one can be faulted for lacking curiosity. That good ol amerikan anti intellectualism is a scourge. Perpetuated by your corporate masters. QED
As a Canadian living in Toronto, these videos make me want to see more of Canada. One downside is it's BIG. I have certainly seen all the cities through work as I have seen many of the US cities. It's the diversity of scenery across a 4k mile country that is hard to imagine.
If you can visit as much as you can. Take a coach tour that covers a specific region. You'll see quite a bit and get a taste of the cities and surrounding countryside. I've been to all the provinces that way except the Yukon and Newfoundland/Labrador. So worth it. Would love to go some more but these old bones don't travel as well as they used to. :)
@@sadee1287 Great suggestion. One of those panoramic train trips is on my bucket list as I am tall and a bit constrained on buses and planes.
My favourite part of this as a Canadian was “been there...been there....been there...!” - both the urban and natural elements. I still have so many more places to go, and always new things to see! Missing was the Butter Tart tour. ;) I’m learning about FNMI (First Nations, Métis, Inuit)...Métis are part-Indigenous. Inuit are in Nunavut, mostly, and Northwest Territories. First Nations are all other groups that are Indigenous to this part of Turtle Island (now Canada being a piece of that).

As a German born Canadian teenager plus 25 is a heatwave at least in Saskatchewan where i currently live in the summer and then compared to a person from Florida and most of America its cold I am confused on why.
I love to travel to other countries, but I love to come home to Canada. " Fly Across Canada", is a simulator about each province and is suppose to leave Vancouver and tour the country, at some point. I highly recommend it; the seats swing out over the mountains, and the feeling of water spraying on your face as you white-water raft over falls is very authentic. It is an amazing experience.
80% of Canada is regarded as uninhabited. We likely are just as ruinous of our environment but with such a low population we don’t see the feedback as severely. My province has socialized hydro electric power so we pay 8cents per kilowatt hour.
Now do one reacting to Canadians visiting the US for the first time:
I'd add my comments but they're not all that positive lol. SORRY!
I had the same reaction when I was 6 years old at the time, in 1956.
You couldn't pay me to live in the US.
Canada like the States is a massive country that has a multitude of landscapes, it is just as diverse as our southern neighbour. People here like in the States come in all shapes and sizes and some are good and some are not. I don’t understand why this would surprise anyone.

I have long time American friends. I've worked with lots of Americans. You can't generalize about people....but...LOL... my Dad worked for a company based in Raleigh, North Carolina, and said, "Not only do they not know what's going on in the rest of the world, they don't know what's going on in the state next door." Bit harsh maybe, but the political upheaval down there is a sad indication of how uneducated a large part of the population remains. Still...America was the power of the 20th Century and should be proud of their 'can do' attitude. Not so proud of social injustices, that Canada, shame facedly shares. Now, if they could just get their school system to look beyond American mythology. Fingers crossed for America. .And us in 2021.
Grapes are also grown, and frozen on the vine, hopefully, not all provinces require that and let the vineyards remove and freeze them, but try ice wine, it’s very good.
the Niagara escarpment has delicious ice wines and also down east has delicious wines
I loved working there for a couple of weeks the Canadians were great to me, my boss couldn’t get them to work bc she was very nasty so I explained and they loved me I didn’t know I was Black for the first time in my life
To the girl who wants to see the Inuit culture you will want to go to Northern Canada. Not only will you meet many First Nations but you will get to see the Northern Lights which are incredible. It’s freezing so pack warm clothes!! Lol

I love the comments on our “great” healthcare system. It has its faults just like any system. Like it might not cost us $10000 to get a broken leg pinned, but it might take three days to get the surgery, and you will wait in the waiting room of the ER for 3 hour before seeing a doctor while a lady with the sniffles insists she is dying, and they can’t kick her out.
In my experience, urgent needs get rapid care. That said, or healthcare system has been under attack for a while.
I wouldn't think that "lady with the sniffles" would affect your ability to see someone quicker in emerg. They triage everyone according to severity when you register.
@@sadee1287 I wish that was the case, but it often isn’t. The apathy of some (key point here, not all of them) of the people working in canadian hospitals emergency wards is shocking. The broken leg vs sniffles example is sadly a real personal experience. That lady was loud, and was in about out before I even got a room. So yeah. Then a misdiagnosis of the break (got told it wasn’t broken, that I was being a wimp, tried to walk on it the next day, broke it worse) and no consequences for those medical professionals protected by a system that protects and allows for sub par performers, and you might see why I do t have rose tinted goggles compared to others. It isn’t a flawless system, but it isn’t terrible either. There are severe flaws in both public and private styles of systems, especially Canadian public systems.
Quebec is a nice place. Western Canada is nicer. As a Canadian, as a Western Canadian. I say Try Western Canada and work your way East. B.C. Alberta, Saskatchewan Manitoba are all Great... The difference between the West and East are Noticable.

As a Canadian and avid traveler, I love the US as it has a lot of great placed to see and experience. I find there are a lot of great people too and really have had no issue but unlike Canada you really do need to be more aware of your surroundings and safety. Hard for a people who come from communities where we do not have to lock our house or lock down our yard. While I find there is significant ignorance with respect to Canada I do find it comical and rewarding when I "educate" these people about the reality. We have a neighbor that has an education system that focuses on themselves but I have found very similar misunderstandings in England, South Africa, European countries as well. To the point where our vast distances between cities and the expanses of virtually uninhabited countryside is fearful to them! If you get a chance explore the US - I particularly like the southwest states. Fantastic landscapes and usually warm weather.
Funniest part for me was when the guy said he couldn't imagine us making Californian or even New Zealand wine, nope, we make Canadian wine lol.

'Most' indicate just the majority of polar nears live in canada. 2/3 of all polar bears live in Canada which is the majority but not nearly all. Your change would change the entire meaning.
@@aikhis Your phrasing of "most all" is not in contemporary usage in NA English. If you want to indicate a simply majority, you just use "most", and if you want to indicate closer to the totality, you would say "almost all". "Most all" is an archaic phrasing, and so is confusing to many readers.
This what I was trying to get across, and not the actual distribution of polar bears.
This shows how un-informed the Americians are ! Most of the ordinary Americans do even know their own country so how would the even know about Canada !
you need to edit your note. I'm sure you meant "Don't even know their own country".
To be fair, there are plenty of people out there--on both sides of the border--who don't know much about much. Many average Canadians know little about their history, geography or politics and also likely have misconceptions about Americans.

Yes and there is such a variety of places to go in Canada!
Agree. The Algonquin region is still on my bucket list. Someday.....
Fellow Americans , it was not Toronto but Calgary and not Montréal but Québec city .
Isn't it Calgary?
They did show a picture of Montréal...take it easy there mate!
@@labellaescrima1996 . But it was still not the right picture .
As a Calgarian I’m offered by saying it was the centre of the universe....
@@jamesfishin That's ALWAYS Toronto isn't it, eh?
🤣 Americans. As a proud Canadian I’m always surprised at how little they know about us
And it desolates me as near neighbour, they should know better, than Football and aseball, Culture is important too.
@@jelau4851 why do Canadians say this? Be honest if you all didn’t watch American shows and listen to American music, you would know little to nothing about America. Canada isn’t represented in our media/music. And most Canadians I’ve talked to don’t know that much about America anyways. Someone literally said “Isn’t New York your capital?”
@@nunyabailey That person was just dumb tbh, but aside from media we also have many American history courses taught in highschool (at least I did). In general, Canadians know more about their Southern neighbors than the other way around. No hate, I really enjoy the camaraderie that's lasted the test of time between our diverse nations. 🇨🇦
@Alexis Cantin no where near the influence American ones have but ok...
@@alton9565 As a Canadian, I disagree with your statement. I've been to the USA, and there isn't too many differences.
Viewer: "that's Toronto!"
Me: "nope, Calgary Tower, not CN Tower"
Viewer: "Ah, Montreal"
Me: "Nope, Quebec City..."
Haha made me smile! When the pandemic is finally over I hope many people get the opportunity to come and visit our incredible country!
"buffalo!" Nope - those are musk oxen.
