I can tell you that the guy with the snow on the front of his car didn’t clean the snow off the car roof, and it slid down onto the hood while he was driving.
True, and it should also be mentioned that there are many ongoing PSA campaigns and advertisement about how important it is to thoroughly clean the snow from your car before going on the road (I actually have an exploded windshield story, caused by someone else's ice flying into me on the 401...). But, how many drivers just disregards it or thinks it does not apply to them, I'll never understand...
A leopard can drag 3x its body weight up into a tree, but a Canadian Cougar can drag an 18 year old man into a cheap motel for an entire weekend......haha.
If the Canada Goose is on a nest it is going to be EXTREMELY protective. In the spring/early summer with eggs/goslings you need to stay away. After that they chill out.
The part of Canada that looks like its from Italy is likely somewhere similar where Canadian snowbirds go to; its not actually in Canada. Its an inside joke!
I was shocked that you were shocked at the snowblower. In residential areas there's at least 1 on every block. Some attach to riding mowers, some are huge, some small and electric, we even have electric shovels. Also, another name for Vancouver Island is Cougar Island so yup... that was accurate. That goose is nesting... only an idiot approaches a nesting goose.
Yes, the snow blower thing surprised me as well. If you own a home with a driveway you probably have a snowblower. Also, snow removal is a big business in Canada. Many landscape businesses survive the winter months by switching to snow removal (attaching plows to trucks) Parking lots, public spaces, small businesses all contract snow removal companies in order to continue trade during the winter months. Years ago teenagers would go door to door and ask to shovel driveways. You don't see that very often anymore. Its a shame because I would assume you could make some good cash doing that.
Tyler, our geese are the same geese that you have. The only difference is that they go north in the summer for nesting and fly south in the winter. The reason why they are aggressive up here is because they are nesting and protecting their young. They fly south and get to just relax and enjoy the winter that's why they're so chill
I don't know if anyone saw in rhe video but the geese he stuck his hand out to was laying on top of eggs in its nest. That's why the other goose had its wings out and being aggressive. It was probably the mate of the first one.
I agree. I've been coast to coast in my 80 years and never noticed it except when people are deliberately attempting the so-called "Ottawa Valley" accent.
@@CandyxKush I know that some places out east "aboat" and I've heard people from Ontario say a very slight "aboot", but in BC everyone says "abowt". It's separated from the rest of Canada by the mountains and the accent sounds the exact same from BC to California. Of course there will be random Canadians that move here from other provinces that say aboot, but you can tell by the accent that they are not from around here.
The car with the snow all over the windshield on the highway most likely had snow piled on top of the roof. Then because they were too lazy to brush it off, hit the breaks and it slides down the front of the vehicle. This is one of my biggest pet peeves. It's dangerous traveling behind a vehicle with a foot of snow on the roof. Brush your cars off people!🤣 Much love from 🇨🇦.
Hubby’s from Ontario… he said that hidden gem can’t be from there. Terra cotta tiles wouldn’t survive the weather in Ontario & he said the tree was not recognizable from there either. Someone is perhaps pulling your TikTok chain. 😮
Considering that guy was literally reaching toward the eggs in the nest desperately trying to antagonize them, the geese were much less aggressive then they should've been
Canada Geese temperament really changes when they're nesting. The adults lose their flight feathers for about 6 weeks, and only regain them as their newborns learn to fly. During that time, they`re very territorial and aggressive. They are also monogamous, so the male is always on guard. At the parks, they`re more accepting of human company. It's common to walk amidst the geese, even with their young in tow. so long as you're walking casually and not making any threatening advances toward them. If they are nesting in an isolated area, they're more likely to be aggressive with anything that approaches.
You know... Every one of these videos, about 50 people try and educate Tyler on Canada geese... He doesn't read these comments and he doesn't care enough to actually learn anything.
My Costco has a goose that has a permanent roosting area every year. They have actually created a "do not disturb the geese" sign to put near the nest every year. All the locals know not to park near that part of the parking lot 😂
I couldn’t have described it any batter. The Canada goose is in Canada for breeding and nesting which makes them extremely defensive. Good idea to leave them alone while in any Canadian area unless you’re looking for some drama for a stupid tic tok vid.
@@damonx6109I noticed that as well. I think it might be because he has two other chanels that I know of where he reacts to things in England(like his brother is doing) and one where he reacts to things in Norway. So I guess it’s hard to keep up. The one about England is called Tyler Rumple and the one about Norway is Tyler Walker.
@@damonx6109 to be fair, Tyler makes a living on reacting to info given in videos, so if he educated himself about it outside the video, he would have less content to react to. But he does read some comments, probably the first few comments after he uploads, but he couldn't keep up with reading them all, even if he wanted to. But Tyler is only one person, and many more people will come into the comment section and be educated here, so it's still useful for people to correct wrong assumptions even if Tyler doesn't read them.
Hitting a Moose with you car, is a Canadian way to die. Lol. I was watching clips of the GOP debate. One of the hopefuls said that they want to build a wall between the Canada and the U.S. Great idea. Too many Americans sneaking in.
There was a recent trend on Tik Tok of claiming places around the world as "Hidden Gems" in Canada. As another commenter mentioned it may be places frequented by Canadian Snowbirds (People that leave Canada for the winter to spend those months in a warmer climate)
Canadian Snowbirds also refers to a group of Canadian military planes which fly in formation, sometimes used for public appearances eg. the opening ceremony for the 1988 Winter Olympics here in Calgary.
The Geese you see in the states are the same as the ones in Canada, the reason they are more aggressive up here is because they defend their territory and usually their eggs/young. When they are in the US, they're on vacation.
@@catherinefitzgerald7291 You can see the eggs the main one is protecting. The camera person is a real dick for scaring tfo of nesting wildlife. They should go try that in a bear's den when they're protecting their young.
Exactly. They are very aggressive in the spring during mating season but not when they come through in the fall. The guy pestering the geese at their nest, not cool.
Was thinking this too, but we both know, this man don't need any money to come here, he will never be hungry, nor need a vehicle, and his beer/liquor will be plentiful ❤️
@@glen3679 In the military it is leff tenant here in Canada the same as in the UK. Same for the ranks of Lieutenant Governor in our government, Lieutenant Colonel, Lieutenant General and Lieutenant are all pronounced lef tenant. Everyone that has served in our armed forces knows this,
I did 5 years of high school in the 80’s. The fifth year was called OAC it was if you wanted to go to university. If you wanted to go to college you could go after grade 12. The fifth year was phased out in 2003. That year they had two graduating classes: OAC and grade 12. It was a nightmare for universities.
Tyler, you confused about the snow on the windshield clip. At some point the driver hit the brakes and the snow they neglected to clear from the vehicle's roof slid down onto the windshield.
My niece did a Victory Lap. Her average was in the 90s but she wanted a higher average to get into the Medical Program.... And now shes a doctor!!! Victory laps are just to raise the average for University. 😊
In the 90’s we just called it grade 13 or your O.A.C. Year. You had your diploma after grade 12, but if you had any interest in university, O.A.C. Was required. The courses were more advanced than grade 12, and they were the grades schools would use to decide whether to accept you or not.
I live in a small town in Southern Ontario. There is a Conservation Area that backs onto my property. Coyote sightings are very common. They can be quiet bold.
In Canada one can totally flub high school and still get into university by spending a year or two in college to get extra credits. It means that one's entire future doesn't rely on the score from one test taken as a kid.
@@TomHuston43 It means the opportunity is there for a lifetime. My wife "flubbed" high school. She went back to college latter in life and got into administration. No S.A.T. score required.
You can take the victory lap to hopefully raise your average, and also (at least in Ontario) the levels of our highschool classes are college, mixed, or university level for grades 11 and 12.The college ones are easier so getting into a college can be doable. Also some schools will take work experience into account @@TomHuston43
My university in Canada had a few fraternities/sororities, but very few people joined them and I remember them being looked down on generally as losers who had to buy their friends. I also remember being with a group of girls on the quad and having a couple of frat guys (Dekes I think) try to invite us to a party and we laughed in their faces because the idea of a frat party seemed beyond pathetic. Ditto most of the other groups we saw them approach.
My sister was in one in Calgary, and they did a lot of charity work in the city. They didn't buy friends. They didn't have a sorority house like you see in American movies, and didn't have the rush or hazing like you hear about in America. My sister was in her late 20s when she went back to university to get her master's, and she was married living in their own home, and was pregnant when she completed her master's and left the sorority. They still get together every few years for a charity reunion of the sororities alumni in Calgary that my sister travels to from Nova Scotia.
@lifeofnigh Cool. I was just stating how frats were viewed at my university by many people outside the system. I had no particularly strong opinions beyond thinking that anyone who would humiliate themselves (and yes, we were treated to many shows of public humiliation) during pledge week to get acceptance, then pay money to that group for continued acceptance seemed pretty weak. I don't know why you seem to be taking a general opinion about a group of organizations as a personal attack. While I'm glad our sister had positive experiences inside her sorority, considering that my former school has shut down several frats and was talking about banning them entirely because of ongoing patterns of seriously bad behavior, I'm not naive enough to believe that all frats/sororities across the world are wonderful, caring and charitable groups.
Also, yes - cougar and wolves happen - even in some urban areas. If they're hungry, the cougars tend to enjoy hunting/stalking joggers and cross-country skiers. Apparently, they register people running as prey. And yes, personal snow blowers are very common. My dad and one of his neighbors each have a snow blower. They blow out their and all the houses on their block, and apparently, they find this fun.
23:50 These geese are actually being really nice for nesting season. My university had some pretty aggressive geese to the point where people would take different routes to class in spring to avoid identified nest areas cus the geese wouldn't just hiss at you, if you got too close they might chase and attack you. One memorable time I witnessed a student running around outside a building cus his friends wouldn't open the door till he managed to get far enough away that they could let him in without the goose coming inside too.
She was definitely wrong about the sororities thing. Sororities and frats definitely do exist in Ontario. I know a few women in sororities and one dude is in a frat
I agree in New Brunswick we have sororities (not sure about frats) but the thing about it here is that sororities are kinda more similar to a club bc they don’t live in a house type of deal also where I’m from in New Brunswick we never had a 5th year so I thought hearing about that was different
OK, as someone who lives in Victoria, BC I can tell you that in the past 100 years only 5 people have been killed by a cougar (you can look this up). We regularly have cougar sightings in Victoria - they follow the deer. Your pet is more at risk then people are. Bears are more likely - there have been 4 deaths in the last 3 years.
Hi Tyler, Ontario Canadian here. You not only have to stay away from wolves( really not that dangerous, they tend to run away) , but we also have moose, black bears, and farther North polar bears. Canada geese are known as cobra chickens. Stay safe in Canada. 😂
I've seen every kind of snow here in Alberta. Snow like sand, snow like big fluffy clouds, snow that sticks to everything and snow that falls for days.
I think I was blown away by Tyler being blown away by a snow blower. I don't own one, but they are very very common, anyone with a large driveway would probably own one. Re: 5th year in highschool. I've never heard of a "victory lap" year, I'd have to check with my daughter who is in grade 11. However when I graduated highschool in Ontario in 1994, Ontario had a 5th year called "OAC" back then. This stood for "Ontario Academic Credit". You could graduate after grade 12 with an "Ontario secondary school diploma" or you could do a 5th year and get your OAC credits and get an "OAC" diploma. Which I would say most students did at the time. You needed your OAC diploma if you wanted to go to an Ontario University. Sometime in the late 90s, Ontario did away with OAC, which caused a lot of problems. It meant that one year there was a double year of graduates, and in the following years, University professors often cited that new graduates were not as prepared for university as previous years students who did a 5th year in highschool. I always felt that the removal of the OAC year was extremely short sighted. Re: Frats and Sororities Some of the major universities do actually have Frats and Sororities, but they're few and far between. Essentially they are there for American students coming to study and not many Canadians pay them any attention.
Because I was born in January and went to high school in Ontario in the 90s I went to University when I was already 19 years old. Everybody was 18 or 19 when they left for University if they were from Ontario at the time. To me it seems like they are so young now. Some are still 17! I feel thankful that I was a little older and could already drink before going to university. First year is almost a write-off because you're learning how to live away from home and so I'm glad that second year I had my ACT together. Children now get through first year and then they turn 19 and their second year and can suddenly go to bars for the first time
Ah yes, Cougars. I live on Vancouver Island in BC and we have the most cougars per square kilometre than basically the rest of North America. Ironically, I have lived here my entire life (almost 40 years) and I have never actually seen one, but we have had plenty of Cougar warnings issued in our area. We also have lots of Black Bears here, and Wolves, but you never see the Wolves. Black Bears are probably the most common predators that we see. I had one right outside my bedroom window quite a few years ago, but when I stuck my head out and asked it what it was doing, it ran away lol. The tiktok with the SUV covered in sow while the surrounding vehicles had nothing on them is another common thing you see, especially here in Southern BC... the mountains and other high elevations will get snow way before the places at sea level, so it will be bright and sunny in Vancouver, for example, but if you were coming into Vancouver from say Squamish or Whistler, you might have a vehicle covered in snow. It's quite funny really. Snowblowers are not common where I live because here on Vancouver Island, we don't really get a lot of snow. It's usually up in the mountains only, or again, in towns that are at a higher elevation. That said, they're very commo where people get lots of snow!
@@jillgreenaway9688 I actually live in the Parksville/Qualicum Beach area, and we really don't get snow that much, but I think it's because we are so close to sea level. Coombs and Errington will get snow way before we do most of the time.
Canadian universities and colleges accept students basically on their high school marks. Colleges and universities keep track of the performance of students coming from every high school or college across Canada, so they have a pretty good idea of where the best students come from. This is how they accept students and offer entrance scholarships (a scholarship for your first year). In Canada, multiple year scholarships are rare; they depend on your performance from year to year. It should also be noted that some provinces may have standardized tests; however, there is no national program of any kind. Foreign students coming to Canada normally only have to provide their school marks and the results of a recognized language test (english for an english institution and french for a french institution).
When I graduated from High school in the late 70's grade 13 was the last year in Ontario.It was for University bound students....BUT it was equivalent to Gr. 12 in Manitoba so I had to go to Gr. 12 when we moved back to Manitoba even tho' I had finished part of Gr 13 before I came back.............A real pain I took a whole bunch of courses to fill my time because I had done everything except English so I took Typing and Computer Science etc because I wanted to fill my day. What a waste.
@@orlaklassen6355 I think the only advantage it could have is if you can get university credit for some of your grade 13 courses. I know that I was able to get credit for a calculus course that I took in grade 12 in Nova Scotia when I applied to Dal. I had to pass a test, but it worked.
I was in high school in the 90's. and the optional 5th year was called OAC (Ontario Academic Credit) and you needed to do it to get into University. Colleges and Trade Schools didn't require it.
The fuzzy type of snow is whats call Powdered Snow, its different from the Packed or Compressed Snow that tends to form below it after a few days. There is also Wet Snow which when the snow is melting and Ice Snow is when there is a light rain that freezes on contact with the top layer. There is also Slush which is when its raining and snowing at the same time.
My biggest pet peeve in the winter is the people who drove around with snow covering their rear windows, if your too lazy to brush it off you literally have to push a button and turn on your rear defroster and it will melt the snow off but people can't be bothered. The Canada's hidden gem video is not in Canada , that was like the south of France or italy. I'm 52 and have never heard anyone say aboot.
The Ontario hidden gem is so hidden you can't find it here. The video they showed looks like Greece to me. I've never seen a wolf, but I have heard them howl at night in Algonquin Park. Most Ontarians would refer to this park as being "up north", but if you kinda divide the province of Ontario into 10 layers from south to north, where most of the population lives would be in layer 1, next is what we call "cottage country". Algonquin park is along the same line of latitude. This would (in my analogy) be layer 2. From north of here the population really starts to dwindle. At the top of James Bay there is a provincial park called Polar Bear Provincial Park. I assume they have a good reason to call it that! Having said all that in the last couple of years I have seen three coyotes in my city. One was crossing the road right in front of my town house complex! And we DON'T say ABOOT!!
Yes, coyotes are pretty common, and often try to steal small dogs if they are left out in their yard. I almost got ambushed by a pack of coyotes on a wooded trail, but I had my very large dog with me on a long lead, and he was having none of it and charged them.
I live in Southern Ontario on the mighty St. Clair River and we are all but overrun with wolf and coyote. I've recently stopped walking the trails in the back bush as I no longer feel safe in there
Canada has a lot of British roots especially in the eastern parts. So there are a lot of commonalities. If you think about our eastern dialect you can definitely see the connection. The geese where I live are lovely we can sit in a park and hand feed them, but we have major respect for wildlife here. We have a section of the park off limits to us so the geese can rest and have babies in peace. I have never seen a goose attack and I am 59. okay....once but the kid deserved it lol.
Im canadian and ive never heard of a "victory lap" in high school maybe because i dont live in ontario but i would never want to go through an extra year of high school
It’s nesting season for the geese when they’re in Canada - they are protecting there nests or young when aggressive! BTW - most Canadian Geese winter in the USA - they can chill down there!! They are not a different species - just on vacation - lol!! 🇨🇦
I live in British Columbia really close to the American border. We had to warn hikers using a popular trail that there was a cougar spotted on the trail. Black bears frequently in my back yard along with skunks, racoons, possum, and bald eagles flying around. We are only 1 hour out of the city of Vancouver. My sister lives in North Vancouver and has black bears in her yard as well.
I live in Ontario not even in the North. We have wolves come into our bush at the back for the winter. We see each other but we never have had an incident with them. They watch but ignor us.
Yeah, there is a wiki page about Fraternities/sororities in Canada. But out here in BC, the University of BC is the only one that seems to have any fraternities/sororities associated with it. The most seem to be in Ontario/Quebec. That 5th year is only in Ontario, I think. We don't have it here in BC.
I watched an American you tuber say that Canada was pretty much the U.S. Just curious if Americans would like it if people said they were pretty much Canadians. I like Americans but I don’t like that statement as it implies we don’t have our own culture or country.
I imagine that the snow that was seen that looked like needles was formed after a mild day such that the nearby air became quite humid due to the nearby stream. Then at night it became very cold and the humidity precicipated out like a frost and created the needles to be seen the following day.
As I was watching your video, I heard the snow truck. So I had to pause it, get dressed and rushed outside to move my car from the parking for the guy to remove the 15 cm of snow that appeared over night. Welcome to Québec, welcome to our winter! Thanks for all the content!
The Canadian pronounced Lieutenant wrong. Correct pronunciation in Canada would be "left-tenant". However he did pronounce 'about' the Canadian way and the American did pronounce 'about' the American way. So many Americans some how hear 'a-boot' which I find difficult to understand. It is actually because the sound included in the Canadian 'about' does not exist in American English so they attach the nearest sound they know when that sound is used within a Canadian word. Another word Canadians use with that sound is 'out'. However, the American 'au or ou' sound is also part of Canadian English. This is why a Canadian can easily correctly recognize both the American and Canadian versions of the 'au or ou' sound. Also Tyler do be careful about over generalizing from these videos. Much of the content is specific to Ontario and does not transfer to other parts of Canada. For instance, The extra year of high school is specific to Ontario and for years they had a required grade 13 which was unique within Canada. To my knowledge no other province ever had a grade 13.
Our schools have become a joke. Nobody fails here, you can have no ability to do math or spell and you are assured to progress no matter what. Only requirement is to show up.
@@sid7088 University isn't mandatory, it's a choice. On the other hand, education IS mandatory from ages 5/6 to 16/18 (depending on the province/territory)/ If you have no university plans, then all you have to do is show up during the mandatory years and you're still guaranteed to graduate with no actual education. That's the point the original comment is making. Why make education mandatory if it doesn't guarantee a standard has been met at graduation? If you have university plans, of course you're going to apply yourself.
It’s more common now to hire a snow removal contractor. It’s a tractor with a big snow blower attachment. Living in Canada I’ve seen black bear, grizzly bear, a wolf, moose and hear lots of coyotes. The snow on the car windshield slid there from the roof, it’s actually illegal to not clear your vehicle off completely. The pronunciation of ‘insurance’ is different too. Keep the videos coming!!
The guy about the weather and his winter coat is showing you how quickly our weather changes. Old saying here, “If you don’t like the weather wait five minutes.”
The one with the villas on the side of a mountain is not in Canada, probably Italy. Wolf attacks are extremely rare anywhere in Canada, in Ontario you are far more likely to hit a moose same as in Newfoundland. Animal attack actually are quite rare in Canada, you may run afoul of black bears, grizzly bears, and polar bears depending on where you live, but again attacks are rare except polar bears. The vehicle with the snow on the windshield is from failing to clear off his roof of snow and ice, when he applied the brakes all the snow fell onto his windshield. By law you are supposed to clear the snow from your roof in most provinces. Most provinces do not have an extra year you can take for high school and Quebec does not have a grade 12 their system is very different. We do not say Lieutenant in Canada the rank is pronounced leff tenant. The same as in England. Snowblowers are quite common in most of Canada.
The only problem with snowblowers in cities is the municipal snowplows will come by and release the snow right back onto your front lawn and/or sidewalk.
Newfoundland-Amazingly friendly folk that value family above all else, as are most of the Maritime provinces. Quebec-Generally don't care about anything or anyone else. French for everyone. Ontario-Believe they are the centre of the universe and the rest of Canada knows they are not; Manitoba-Very cold in winter, very hot in summer and the people there are very nice and friendly while constantly make fun of themselves; Saskatchewan-Down home, hard working folks but most move out when they reach adulthood; Alberta-young, vibrant and likely moved there from somewhere else because there are a ton of high paying jobs, thus people are very friendly and welcoming, great parks and weather; BC-tree hugging, pot smoking, snowflakes who don't really understand how the world works, and they don't care because their province is so beautiful; The Territories-hard working salt of the earth folks that need to rely on each other to survive. The one common thing for most of Canadians, regardless of province, is they make it known they are NOT American and don't want to move there.
Interesting how one of the TikToks mentions schools not having fraternities and sororities. Carleton University and University of Ottawa have a bunch of fraternities/sororities
At 20 minutes in if anyone is wondering how the snow got on the car it was on the roof and then when they broke or slowed down it slid forwards. This is pretty common and why you allways need to clear the roof of your car.
Yes, wolves in Ontario. There was one spotted in my neighborhood the other day with a squirrel in its mouth. (just outside Toronto) Many Canadians own their own snow blower but if your neighbour has on there's no need to buy one.
Tyler, after many decades of getting me addicted to Little Debbie Swiss Roll cakes, they decided to pull out of our market entirely. What good is American food if they can't be there for you. Also, some of our universities do have fraternities and sororites. I went to York U without them and Western U with them, but yes, most universities don't have them. We just don't like the idea of paying for our friends. Yes, many of us with physical issues or who live in snow belt areas have snow blowers. I have one.
@jasonm8017 Yes, Little Debbie screwed us all. Even so, I'm jonsing for one. Maybe I'll go to the States myself one day and buy a years supply. But what will the border officer think of the situation if I'm caught with a trunk full of Little Debbie's. 😆
Where I come from most people have a snow blower and or plow for their pickups. Every one helps each other. I finished grade 13 back in the day. And that goose is on it's nest!
When I went through school in Ontario, the normal high school graduation was grade 12. Grade 13 was necessary if you planned to go to post-high school education. It was almost a college prep year. Those with no intention of going to University or College stopped at grade 12.
APPARENTLY ONLY Ontario and BC opted for grade 13 to qualify for university. It was introduced after WW2 and was originally intended to provide a college like experience for students who were not able to attend university at that time. Other provinces always stopped high school at grade 12.. I think this is factual.
“Oh my god, the snow was over a foot high!” Some places in mid-southern Ontario near the Great Lakes can get that in a night (or sometimes a few hours) lol.
I really like your channel man! Makes me learn about my own country! However, I noticed that the majority of the topics here couldn't be applied here in Québec. As you already know, Québec is Very different from the rest of Canada. We have French roots, our own culture and we are proud of it. May I suggest you to dig into the Québec quest for independence, including the October crisis and the two "référendum" we had. For those who believe in our independence, we identified much as Québécois than Canadian. Keep up with the good work man!! From your French neighbor of the north!
Canada has the strange idea that "university should be about education". The way the USA functions with "sports as a primary focus" for their universities seems bizarre looking from the outside.
Education? Lol, no indoctrination. Very far from education. Also, your comment just seems petty and backbiting. I’m sure the graduates of Harvard, Princeton and Yale knew a thing or two other than sports.
okay, the victory lap thing, since we dont have SATs we are accepted to schools based on grades in relevant classes compared to what you are applying for. so, some students stay another year to improve their grades or take optional classes that happen to be mandatory for what they are trying to study in post secondary
That fluffy snow is fairly common. Huge fluffy flakes. You can actually see the snowflake patter to the naked eye. It's one of the onky good things about winter. The beauty.
I just showed hubby the clip where you were surprised about the snowblowers...and he said to mention to you that we have TWO....a his and a hers lol. His is far too big and powerful with too many levers and gears and crap where I just need one that turns on, moves and gets rid of the snow. And with the ridges the road plows leave at the end of our driveways, we need help getting rid of those hard rocks of frozen solid snow that are left behind from the road salting. Definitely back breaking work for just a shovel!
If you own a home in Eastern Canada, and don't want to spend 2-3 hours shovelling snow before work in the morning.. you have to have a snowblower, or hire someone that has one! It's not like we need to use it every day, but between December-March we can easily get one or two storms per week (probably averaging 8-9inches of snow every time.. sometimes closer to 3 feet.)! And then, July-September we spend at the beach. 😂
Ontario used to have high school until grade 13 until probably 20 years ago when they reduced it by one year to grade 12. The year this happened created a double cohort; i.e. two graduating classes; one from grade 12 and the other from grade 13. I wasn't aware that some schools kept grade 13 as essentially a first year of university. Thus students going to these schools could save one year of university fees and possibly living expenses!
It should be mentioned that at the time Ontario was the only province or territory where students went to grade 13 before university; everywhere else except Quebec, students only went to grade 12 before university. In Quebec, students essentially still do grade 13; except they do it in two steps: 1) they go to grade 11 (or secondaire 5); 2) two years of CEGEP (college).
I actually graduated from high school twice. Once in the province of Quebec from grade 11 and the following year from grade 12 in Nova Scotia before going to University. This saved me one year of college or university fees and living expenses due to not living at home. This was not planned as it only happened due to my father's career moving us from the province of Quebec to the province of Nova Scotia following grade 11 in Quebec.
When I went to school there was nothing, you went and came home, no after school clubs, etc. In high school there were dances on Saturday night. We had some really good talent as well, the bands were great
Just to let you know. Canadian Geese remain Canadian Geese as they fly south for the warmth each year. So the Geese you see on American land are actually Canadian Geese. Also the snow that looks like spikes is caused by water droplets from the river as it was not frozen yet. Also the Snow Blower is common for may home owners but since they are American companies that made them, I know very well many of the Northern States also use a snow blower.
17:07 - On Vancouver Island you can see coastal wolves strolling certain beaches or, coming home from shopping, meet bears in your backyard sunbathing or such.
I can tell you that the guy with the snow on the front of his car didn’t clean the snow off the car roof, and it slid down onto the hood while he was driving.
Totally came into comments to say this. LoL
Warmed up a bit and they hit the brakes a little bit too hard.
True, and it should also be mentioned that there are many ongoing PSA campaigns and advertisement about how important it is to thoroughly clean the snow from your car before going on the road (I actually have an exploded windshield story, caused by someone else's ice flying into me on the 401...). But, how many drivers just disregards it or thinks it does not apply to them, I'll never understand...
Every Canadian has had roof snow slide onto the windshield in their lifetime, haha !
@@gord7025 yep! That darn brake pump dump 😂
A leopard can drag 3x its body weight up into a tree, but a Canadian Cougar can drag an 18 year old man into a cheap motel for an entire weekend......haha.
Do ya think Tyler would laugh at this or get it?
If the Canada Goose is on a nest it is going to be EXTREMELY protective. In the spring/early summer with eggs/goslings you need to stay away.
After that they chill out.
The part of Canada that looks like its from Italy is likely somewhere similar where Canadian snowbirds go to; its not actually in Canada. Its an inside joke!
Actually, I’m like 98% sure that video was taken in Positano, Italy. If you Google it, you’ll notice the resemblance.
yeah just look at the trees and bush, we have nothing like those
yes, it's Italy. Bougainvillea can't grow outside in Ontario. A joker did that. @@GTB_PR00
@@Stefita83 it sure ain't Venice!
It’s the Amalfi Coast Italy🇮🇹
I was shocked that you were shocked at the snowblower. In residential areas there's at least 1 on every block. Some attach to riding mowers, some are huge, some small and electric, we even have electric shovels. Also, another name for Vancouver Island is Cougar Island so yup... that was accurate. That goose is nesting... only an idiot approaches a nesting goose.
I was shocked by this too.
Cobra chickens 😂
Yes, the snow blower thing surprised me as well. If you own a home with a driveway you probably have a snowblower. Also, snow removal is a big business in Canada. Many landscape businesses survive the winter months by switching to snow removal (attaching plows to trucks) Parking lots, public spaces, small businesses all contract snow removal companies in order to continue trade during the winter months. Years ago teenagers would go door to door and ask to shovel driveways. You don't see that very often anymore. Its a shame because I would assume you could make some good cash doing that.
@@joykoski7111For a long driveway, most have a snowblower of some sort (even electric).
ye basically everyone i know has one i didnt realize it was such a weird concept.
Tyler, our geese are the same geese that you have. The only difference is that they go north in the summer for nesting and fly south in the winter. The reason why they are aggressive up here is because they are nesting and protecting their young. They fly south and get to just relax and enjoy the winter that's why they're so chill
Also they are younger as half of them are not even a year old, so they are more skittish
I don't know if anyone saw in rhe video but the geese he stuck his hand out to was laying on top of eggs in its nest. That's why the other goose had its wings out and being aggressive. It was probably the mate of the first one.
As a 57 year old Canadian I can tell you that no where in Canada have Canadians EVER said ABOOT , its doesn't happen nor will it ever.
I use to cold call Canadians across Canada, yes, we do say "aboot". Ive heard it in every province. Usually old guys... lol "whats this call aboot?"
I agree. I've been coast to coast in my 80 years and never noticed it except when people are deliberately attempting the so-called "Ottawa Valley" accent.
Except for that idiot JJ.
@@CandyxKush I know that some places out east "aboat" and I've heard people from Ontario say a very slight "aboot", but in BC everyone says "abowt". It's separated from the rest of Canada by the mountains and the accent sounds the exact same from BC to California. Of course there will be random Canadians that move here from other provinces that say aboot, but you can tell by the accent that they are not from around here.
My husband kinda says aboat and he is east coast. I am from BC and say "abowwt"
The car with the snow all over the windshield on the highway most likely had snow piled on top of the roof. Then because they were too lazy to brush it off, hit the breaks and it slides down the front of the vehicle. This is one of my biggest pet peeves. It's dangerous traveling behind a vehicle with a foot of snow on the roof. Brush your cars off people!🤣 Much love from 🇨🇦.
And you can get a substantial ticket.
In Montreal, the police stopped me because of snow and ice on my roof. They cleaned it for me. No ticket. I'm 80.
Hubby’s from Ontario… he said that hidden gem can’t be from there. Terra cotta tiles wouldn’t survive the weather in Ontario & he said the tree was not recognizable from there either. Someone is perhaps pulling your TikTok chain. 😮
Considering that guy was literally reaching toward the eggs in the nest desperately trying to antagonize them, the geese were much less aggressive then they should've been
Canada Geese temperament really changes when they're nesting. The adults lose their flight feathers for about 6 weeks, and only regain them as their newborns learn to fly. During that time, they`re very territorial and aggressive. They are also monogamous, so the male is always on guard. At the parks, they`re more accepting of human company. It's common to walk amidst the geese, even with their young in tow. so long as you're walking casually and not making any threatening advances toward them. If they are nesting in an isolated area, they're more likely to be aggressive with anything that approaches.
You know... Every one of these videos, about 50 people try and educate Tyler on Canada geese... He doesn't read these comments and he doesn't care enough to actually learn anything.
My Costco has a goose that has a permanent roosting area every year. They have actually created a "do not disturb the geese" sign to put near the nest every year. All the locals know not to park near that part of the parking lot 😂
I couldn’t have described it any batter. The Canada goose is in Canada for breeding and nesting which makes them extremely defensive. Good idea to leave them alone while in any Canadian area unless you’re looking for some drama for a stupid tic tok vid.
@@damonx6109I noticed that as well. I think it might be because he has two other chanels that I know of where he reacts to things in England(like his brother is doing) and one where he reacts to things in Norway. So I guess it’s hard to keep up. The one about England is called Tyler Rumple and the one about Norway is Tyler Walker.
@@damonx6109 to be fair, Tyler makes a living on reacting to info given in videos, so if he educated himself about it outside the video, he would have less content to react to. But he does read some comments, probably the first few comments after he uploads, but he couldn't keep up with reading them all, even if he wanted to.
But Tyler is only one person, and many more people will come into the comment section and be educated here, so it's still useful for people to correct wrong assumptions even if Tyler doesn't read them.
Hitting a Moose with you car, is a Canadian way to die. Lol.
I was watching clips of the GOP debate. One of the hopefuls said that they want to build a wall between the Canada and the U.S. Great idea. Too many Americans sneaking in.
I agree, stuffs getting weird down there. Id feel more comfortable if there was a barrier
That mountain town with the clay tile rooves is definitely NOT in Ontario or even Canada anywhere for that matter.

There was a recent trend on Tik Tok of claiming places around the world as "Hidden Gems" in Canada. As another commenter mentioned it may be places frequented by Canadian Snowbirds (People that leave Canada for the winter to spend those months in a warmer climate)
That makes sense!
Canadian Snowbirds also refers to a group of Canadian military planes which fly in formation, sometimes used for public appearances eg. the opening ceremony for the 1988 Winter Olympics here in Calgary.
This one looked like Santorini, or another Greek island.
Same geese in both countries, they have their brood up here so they're in protecting the children mode.
....and it is quite clueless to conclude otherwise.
The Geese you see in the states are the same as the ones in Canada, the reason they are more aggressive up here is because they defend their territory and usually their eggs/young. When they are in the US, they're on vacation.
I think I commented about 4 or 5 times about this same thing in the past year on this channel.
@@catherinefitzgerald7291 You can see the eggs the main one is protecting. The camera person is a real dick for scaring tfo of nesting wildlife. They should go try that in a bear's den when they're protecting their young.
Exactly. They are very aggressive in the spring during mating season but not when they come through in the fall. The guy pestering the geese at their nest, not cool.
Yeah don't the ones they see just migrate down during winter?
Snowblowers are pretty common in Canada, They usualy cost from 800$ to 1500$. Some high end ones cold be cost more!
and they are used 2-4 times a year.
@meganchurch917 Im right off Georgian Bay (like five blocks off), we use ours everyday for a solid month. Our average snowfall is 112 inches
We need to crowd fund an all expenses tour of Canada for this guy!
Was thinking this too, but we both know, this man don't need any money to come here, he will never be hungry, nor need a vehicle, and his beer/liquor will be plentiful ❤️
The VAST majority of people in Ontario have never seen a wolf in the wild. The official pronunciation of the word Lieutenant in Canada is 'LEF-tenant.
"Official"? I have doubts about that.
I cannot attest to it being an item of law or ordinance, but in the Canadian military we use the LEF-tenant pronunciation.
Leftentant is the British way of saying lieutenant but here in Canada it's ok to say it either way
@@glen3679 In the military it is leff tenant here in Canada the same as in the UK. Same for the ranks of Lieutenant Governor in our government, Lieutenant Colonel, Lieutenant General and Lieutenant are all pronounced lef tenant. Everyone that has served in our armed forces knows this,
No in Manitoba it's LEW -tenant
I did 5 years of high school in the 80’s. The fifth year was called OAC it was if you wanted to go to university. If you wanted to go to college you could go after grade 12. The fifth year was phased out in 2003. That year they had two graduating classes: OAC and grade 12. It was a nightmare for universities.
High school in Alberta is only 3 years, but we did have the optional 4th year if we wanted to upgrade in the 90s. No idea if it still goes on.
Tyler, you confused about the snow on the windshield clip. At some point the driver hit the brakes and the snow they neglected to clear from the vehicle's roof slid down onto the windshield.
My niece did a Victory Lap. Her average was in the 90s but she wanted a higher average to get into the Medical Program.... And now shes a doctor!!! Victory laps are just to raise the average for University. 😊
In the 90’s we just called it grade 13 or your O.A.C. Year. You had your diploma after grade 12, but if you had any interest in university, O.A.C. Was required. The courses were more advanced than grade 12, and they were the grades schools would use to decide whether to accept you or not.
In rural Ontario there are lots of wolves and coyotes. I hear them howling at night.
I live in a small town in Southern Ontario. There is a Conservation Area that backs onto my property. Coyote sightings are very common. They can be quiet bold.
It's not that easy! I went at 2am to Algonquin Park with guides; we howled and never got howled at back.
The geese become aggressive during mating and nesting season, which is the whole reason they migrate back to Canada
In Canada one can totally flub high school and still get into university by spending a year or two in college to get extra credits. It means that one's entire future doesn't rely on the score from one test taken as a kid.
If one totally "flubs" high school, how will they do in college/university?
@@TomHuston43 It means the opportunity is there for a lifetime. My wife "flubbed" high school. She went back to college latter in life and got into administration. No S.A.T. score required.
You can take the victory lap to hopefully raise your average, and also (at least in Ontario) the levels of our highschool classes are college, mixed, or university level for grades 11 and 12.The college ones are easier so getting into a college can be doable. Also some schools will take work experience into account @@TomHuston43
My university in Canada had a few fraternities/sororities, but very few people joined them and I remember them being looked down on generally as losers who had to buy their friends. I also remember being with a group of girls on the quad and having a couple of frat guys (Dekes I think) try to invite us to a party and we laughed in their faces because the idea of a frat party seemed beyond pathetic. Ditto most of the other groups we saw them approach.
My sister was in one in Calgary, and they did a lot of charity work in the city. They didn't buy friends. They didn't have a sorority house like you see in American movies, and didn't have the rush or hazing like you hear about in America. My sister was in her late 20s when she went back to university to get her master's, and she was married living in their own home, and was pregnant when she completed her master's and left the sorority. They still get together every few years for a charity reunion of the sororities alumni in Calgary that my sister travels to from Nova Scotia.
@lifeofnigh Cool. I was just stating how frats were viewed at my university by many people outside the system. I had no particularly strong opinions beyond thinking that anyone who would humiliate themselves (and yes, we were treated to many shows of public humiliation) during pledge week to get acceptance, then pay money to that group for continued acceptance seemed pretty weak.
I don't know why you seem to be taking a general opinion about a group of organizations as a personal attack.
While I'm glad our sister had positive experiences inside her sorority, considering that my former school has shut down several frats and was talking about banning them entirely because of ongoing patterns of seriously bad behavior, I'm not naive enough to believe that all frats/sororities across the world are wonderful, caring and charitable groups.
Wow, well thats rude, whats wrong with letting people just be happy doing what they're doing, a simple "we already have plans" would suffice
@BabyT709 agreed. We were teenagers and our manners were lacking.
Can confirm🫡
Also, yes - cougar and wolves happen - even in some urban areas. If they're hungry, the cougars tend to enjoy hunting/stalking joggers and cross-country skiers. Apparently, they register people running as prey.
And yes, personal snow blowers are very common. My dad and one of his neighbors each have a snow blower. They blow out their and all the houses on their block, and apparently, they find this fun.
Stalking cross country skiers, your joking right 😂
@syphon_9892 Not joking. Look it up. There have been fatalities. The running/fast movement triggers prey drive - esp if they're hungry.
23:50 These geese are actually being really nice for nesting season. My university had some pretty aggressive geese to the point where people would take different routes to class in spring to avoid identified nest areas cus the geese wouldn't just hiss at you, if you got too close they might chase and attack you. One memorable time I witnessed a student running around outside a building cus his friends wouldn't open the door till he managed to get far enough away that they could let him in without the goose coming inside too.
She was definitely wrong about the sororities thing. Sororities and frats definitely do exist in Ontario. I know a few women in sororities and one dude is in a frat
We have them at UBC but not a big deal.
Same in Manitoba.@@Sharon-bo2se
I agree in New Brunswick we have sororities (not sure about frats) but the thing about it here is that sororities are kinda more similar to a club bc they don’t live in a house type of deal also where I’m from in New Brunswick we never had a 5th year so I thought hearing about that was different
OK, as someone who lives in Victoria, BC I can tell you that in the past 100 years only 5 people have been killed by a cougar (you can look this up). We regularly have cougar sightings in Victoria - they follow the deer. Your pet is more at risk then people are. Bears are more likely - there have been 4 deaths in the last 3 years.
That's what I was thinking!
Hi Tyler,
Ontario Canadian here. You not only have to stay away from wolves( really not that dangerous, they tend to run away) , but we also have moose, black bears, and farther North polar bears. Canada geese are known as cobra chickens. Stay safe in Canada. 😂
You forgot the big brown Grizzley Bears in The rockies of Alberta and B.C.
Geese are very aggressive while nesting. The gander will protect his mate.
I've seen every kind of snow here in Alberta. Snow like sand, snow like big fluffy clouds, snow that sticks to everything and snow that falls for days.
I think I was blown away by Tyler being blown away by a snow blower.
I don't own one, but they are very very common, anyone with a large driveway would probably own one.
Re: 5th year in highschool.
I've never heard of a "victory lap" year, I'd have to check with my daughter who is in grade 11. However when I graduated highschool in Ontario in 1994, Ontario had a 5th year called "OAC" back then. This stood for "Ontario Academic Credit".
You could graduate after grade 12 with an "Ontario secondary school diploma" or you could do a 5th year and get your OAC credits and get an "OAC" diploma. Which I would say most students did at the time. You needed your OAC diploma if you wanted to go to an Ontario University.
Sometime in the late 90s, Ontario did away with OAC, which caused a lot of problems. It meant that one year there was a double year of graduates, and in the following years, University professors often cited that new graduates were not as prepared for university as previous years students who did a 5th year in highschool. I always felt that the removal of the OAC year was extremely short sighted.
Re: Frats and Sororities
Some of the major universities do actually have Frats and Sororities, but they're few and far between. Essentially they are there for American students coming to study and not many Canadians pay them any attention.
Check out CEGEP in Quebec. It's a bonus year they have to get ahead for uni
Because I was born in January and went to high school in Ontario in the 90s I went to University when I was already 19 years old. Everybody was 18 or 19 when they left for University if they were from Ontario at the time. To me it seems like they are so young now. Some are still 17! I feel thankful that I was a little older and could already drink before going to university. First year is almost a write-off because you're learning how to live away from home and so I'm glad that second year I had my ACT together. Children now get through first year and then they turn 19 and their second year and can suddenly go to bars for the first time
Halloween in Canada. Make sure your costume fits over the snowsuit. 😄❄️
Ah yes, Cougars. I live on Vancouver Island in BC and we have the most cougars per square kilometre than basically the rest of North America. Ironically, I have lived here my entire life (almost 40 years) and I have never actually seen one, but we have had plenty of Cougar warnings issued in our area. We also have lots of Black Bears here, and Wolves, but you never see the Wolves. Black Bears are probably the most common predators that we see. I had one right outside my bedroom window quite a few years ago, but when I stuck my head out and asked it what it was doing, it ran away lol.
The tiktok with the SUV covered in sow while the surrounding vehicles had nothing on them is another common thing you see, especially here in Southern BC... the mountains and other high elevations will get snow way before the places at sea level, so it will be bright and sunny in Vancouver, for example, but if you were coming into Vancouver from say Squamish or Whistler, you might have a vehicle covered in snow. It's quite funny really.
Snowblowers are not common where I live because here on Vancouver Island, we don't really get a lot of snow. It's usually up in the mountains only, or again, in towns that are at a higher elevation. That said, they're very commo where people get lots of snow!
You must live in Victoria - there is plenty of snow on the rest of Vancouver Island - except perhaps Tofino .
@@jillgreenaway9688 I actually live in the Parksville/Qualicum Beach area, and we really don't get snow that much, but I think it's because we are so close to sea level. Coombs and Errington will get snow way before we do most of the time.
Buddy left the snow on his roof, then hit the brakes and it all slid down over the windshield. The perils of driving an SUV/van
Canadian universities and colleges accept students basically on their high school marks. Colleges and universities keep track of the performance of students coming from every high school or college across Canada, so they have a pretty good idea of where the best students come from. This is how they accept students and offer entrance scholarships (a scholarship for your first year). In Canada, multiple year scholarships are rare; they depend on your performance from year to year. It should also be noted that some provinces may have standardized tests; however, there is no national program of any kind. Foreign students coming to Canada normally only have to provide their school marks and the results of a recognized language test (english for an english institution and french for a french institution).
When I graduated from High school in the late 70's grade 13 was the last year in Ontario.It was for University bound students....BUT it was equivalent to Gr. 12 in Manitoba so I had to go to Gr. 12 when we moved back to Manitoba even tho' I had finished part of Gr 13 before I came back.............A real pain I took a whole bunch of courses to fill my time because I had done everything except English so I took Typing and Computer Science etc because I wanted to fill my day. What a waste.
@@orlaklassen6355Late 70s, huh? Do you remember the old, noisy manual typewriters?
@@orlaklassen6355 I think the only advantage it could have is if you can get university credit for some of your grade 13 courses. I know that I was able to get credit for a calculus course that I took in grade 12 in Nova Scotia when I applied to Dal. I had to pass a test, but it worked.
yup.i'm ancient too.......................@@mayloo2137
I was in high school in the 90's. and the optional 5th year was called OAC (Ontario Academic Credit) and you needed to do it to get into University. Colleges and Trade Schools didn't require it.
The fuzzy type of snow is whats call Powdered Snow, its different from the Packed or Compressed Snow that tends to form below it after a few days. There is also Wet Snow which when the snow is melting and Ice Snow is when there is a light rain that freezes on contact with the top layer. There is also Slush which is when its raining and snowing at the same time.
It's not powdered snow. This is called surface hoar, it usually form when the air temperature is colder.
My biggest pet peeve in the winter is the people who drove around with snow covering their rear windows, if your too lazy to brush it off you literally have to push a button and turn on your rear defroster and it will melt the snow off but people can't be bothered.
The Canada's hidden gem video is not in Canada , that was like the south of France or italy.
I'm 52 and have never heard anyone say aboot.
I agree, I'm Canadian and The Canada's hidden gem video is really not in Canada
I think snow blowers start about $500 and go up. It depends on how big the snow blower is. Many, many people have them.
Notice the pumpkin that was kicked was frozen lol. VERY Canadian
Your reactions are so funny even when you don't try to be. I love your videos.
When you get fresh snow like that alot of people eat snow or kids or they make snowcones or maple taffy on snow
The Ontario hidden gem is so hidden you can't find it here. The video they showed looks like Greece to me. I've never seen a wolf, but I have heard them howl at night in Algonquin Park. Most Ontarians would refer to this park as being "up north", but if you kinda divide the province of Ontario into 10 layers from south to north, where most of the population lives would be in layer 1, next is what we call "cottage country". Algonquin park is along the same line of latitude. This would (in my analogy) be layer 2. From north of here the population really starts to dwindle. At the top of James Bay there is a provincial park called Polar Bear Provincial Park. I assume they have a good reason to call it that! Having said all that in the last couple of years I have seen three coyotes in my city. One was crossing the road right in front of my town house complex! And we DON'T say ABOOT!!
I thought it was the Amalfi coast, but not the point. That wasn't anywhere in Canada, nvm Ontario 😂
I think that was the joke 🤷♀️
Yes, coyotes are pretty common, and often try to steal small dogs if they are left out in their yard. I almost got ambushed by a pack of coyotes on a wooded trail, but I had my very large dog with me on a long lead, and he was having none of it and charged them.
I live in Southern Ontario on the mighty St. Clair River and we are all but overrun with wolf and coyote. I've recently stopped walking the trails in the back bush as I no longer feel safe in there
Ya it looks like a place that has tides happening.
There had to be more to that video that he never got to. Total Canadian trolling.
We have a snowblower. It is required equipment where i live. Lots of snow
That Canada goose was passive compared to some others. Those things can beat you hard enough with their wings to even break bones.
I know, that was tame for someone grabbing at their eggs
The snow slid off the roof!!❄️
Canada has a lot of British roots especially in the eastern parts. So there are a lot of commonalities. If you think about our eastern dialect you can definitely see the connection. The geese where I live are lovely we can sit in a park and hand feed them, but we have major respect for wildlife here. We have a section of the park off limits to us so the geese can rest and have babies in peace. I have never seen a goose attack and I am 59. okay....once but the kid deserved it lol.
Im canadian and ive never heard of a "victory lap" in high school maybe because i dont live in ontario but i would never want to go through an extra year of high school
It’s nesting season for the geese when they’re in Canada - they are protecting there nests or young when aggressive! BTW - most Canadian Geese winter in the USA - they can chill down there!! They are not a different species - just on vacation - lol!! 🇨🇦
FINALLY someone educates him on the Geese in Canada NESTS AND RAISE THIER YOUNG ❤❤HERE
Lots of people have snow blowers , save on heart attacks. I see Wolves, Bear and moose on regular basis and I love it , Northern Ontario
I live in British Columbia really close to the American border. We had to warn hikers using a popular trail that there was a cougar spotted on the trail. Black bears frequently in my back yard along with skunks, racoons, possum, and bald eagles flying around. We are only 1 hour out of the city of Vancouver. My sister lives in North Vancouver and has black bears in her yard as well.
No Canadian has ever said “Holy Timbit”
A snow blower is a must, unless you pay for snow removal 😊 At least where we live.
Omg! Loved Tyler’s reaction to the snowblower! 😂❤
Yes a lot of people in Canada do own their own snowblower.
He’s got to be from the south; everyone with a driveway in Buffalo has one lol
back when I was in highschool, those who leave after the 4th year (Grade 12), is to go to college and after the 5th , is to go to university
I live in Ontario not even in the North. We have wolves come into our bush at the back for the winter. We see each other but we never have had an incident with them. They watch but ignor us.
the first video the guy has more of him pretending to be the different provinces and arguing with each other they are priceless
Yeah, there is a wiki page about Fraternities/sororities in Canada. But out here in BC, the University of BC is the only one that seems to have any fraternities/sororities associated with it. The most seem to be in Ontario/Quebec. That 5th year is only in Ontario, I think. We don't have it here in BC.
I'm sorry, but..."Pay to have friends"🤣 Love it
I watched an American you tuber say that Canada was pretty much the U.S. Just curious if Americans would like it if people said they were pretty much Canadians. I like Americans but I don’t like that statement as it implies we don’t have our own culture or country.
The 5th year of High School is a University prep year. Many of the classes are to teach you how to write essays, research, etc.
I imagine that the snow that was seen that looked like needles was formed after a mild day such that the nearby air became quite humid due to the nearby stream. Then at night it became very cold and the humidity precicipated out like a frost and created the needles to be seen the following day.
I’ve heard it called hoary frost, happens a lot where I live cause I’m right on the ocean
I don't know about Ontario, but in Quebec The pass level at a test is 60%, so 59 is a failure
Canadians study, we don't party 😆😅😅
As I was watching your video, I heard the snow truck. So I had to pause it, get dressed and rushed outside to move my car from the parking for the guy to remove the 15 cm of snow that appeared over night. Welcome to Québec, welcome to our winter! Thanks for all the content!
The Canadian pronounced Lieutenant wrong. Correct pronunciation in Canada would be "left-tenant". However he did pronounce 'about' the Canadian way and the American did pronounce 'about' the American way. So many Americans some how hear 'a-boot' which I find difficult to understand. It is actually because the sound included in the Canadian 'about' does not exist in American English so they attach the nearest sound they know when that sound is used within a Canadian word. Another word Canadians use with that sound is 'out'. However, the American 'au or ou' sound is also part of Canadian English. This is why a Canadian can easily correctly recognize both the American and Canadian versions of the 'au or ou' sound.
Also Tyler do be careful about over generalizing from these videos. Much of the content is specific to Ontario and does not transfer to other parts of Canada. For instance, The extra year of high school is specific to Ontario and for years they had a required grade 13 which was unique within Canada. To my knowledge no other province ever had a grade 13.
Ppl clean their windows, but not the top of the car. So when they hit the breaks, all the snow slides forward and covers your windshield
They're supposed to, for that reason and so snow and ice doesn't fly off into the following vehicle.
Lieutenant is pronounced “Left”-tenant in Canada, just like the British!
But considering all the American TV and movies we watch, it's not a surprise that Canadian pronunciation is drifting toward the American.
That thing about Cougars being the deadliest thing in B.C. Can't we just take their driving licences away when they hit 40?😊
Our schools have become a joke. Nobody fails here, you can have no ability to do math or spell and you are assured to progress no matter what. Only requirement is to show up.
Not if you want to go to university.
@@sid7088 University isn't mandatory, it's a choice. On the other hand, education IS mandatory from ages 5/6 to 16/18 (depending on the province/territory)/ If you have no university plans, then all you have to do is show up during the mandatory years and you're still guaranteed to graduate with no actual education. That's the point the original comment is making. Why make education mandatory if it doesn't guarantee a standard has been met at graduation? If you have university plans, of course you're going to apply yourself.
It’s more common now to hire a snow removal contractor. It’s a tractor with a big snow blower attachment. Living in Canada I’ve seen black bear, grizzly bear, a wolf, moose and hear lots of coyotes. The snow on the car windshield slid there from the roof, it’s actually illegal to not clear your vehicle off completely. The pronunciation of ‘insurance’ is different too. Keep the videos coming!!
We definitely have sororities and fraternities here in Canada at some universities. I think it’s a different experience from in the states though.
"I think it’s a different experience from in the states though" ... Not in my experience it isn't.
They were a fringe thing when I was at UofT and never heard of one at Dalhousie.
The guy about the weather and his winter coat is showing you how quickly our weather changes. Old saying here, “If you don’t like the weather wait five minutes.”
The one with the villas on the side of a mountain is not in Canada, probably Italy.
Wolf attacks are extremely rare anywhere in Canada, in Ontario you are far more likely to hit a moose same as in Newfoundland. Animal attack actually are quite rare in Canada, you may run afoul of black bears, grizzly bears, and polar bears depending on where you live, but again attacks are rare except polar bears.
The vehicle with the snow on the windshield is from failing to clear off his roof of snow and ice, when he applied the brakes all the snow fell onto his windshield. By law you are supposed to clear the snow from your roof in most provinces.
Most provinces do not have an extra year you can take for high school and Quebec does not have a grade 12 their system is very different.
We do not say Lieutenant in Canada the rank is pronounced leff tenant. The same as in England.
Snowblowers are quite common in most of Canada.
Yep Positano, amalfy coast, Italy
The only problem with snowblowers in cities is the municipal snowplows will come by and release the snow right back onto your front lawn and/or sidewalk.
Newfoundland-Amazingly friendly folk that value family above all else, as are most of the Maritime provinces. Quebec-Generally don't care about anything or anyone else. French for everyone. Ontario-Believe they are the centre of the universe and the rest of Canada knows they are not; Manitoba-Very cold in winter, very hot in summer and the people there are very nice and friendly while constantly make fun of themselves; Saskatchewan-Down home, hard working folks but most move out when they reach adulthood; Alberta-young, vibrant and likely moved there from somewhere else because there are a ton of high paying jobs, thus people are very friendly and welcoming, great parks and weather; BC-tree hugging, pot smoking, snowflakes who don't really understand how the world works, and they don't care because their province is so beautiful; The Territories-hard working salt of the earth folks that need to rely on each other to survive. The one common thing for most of Canadians, regardless of province, is they make it known they are NOT American and don't want to move there.
Interesting how one of the TikToks mentions schools not having fraternities and sororities. Carleton University and University of Ottawa have a bunch of fraternities/sororities
At 20 minutes in if anyone is wondering how the snow got on the car it was on the roof and then when they broke or slowed down it slid forwards. This is pretty common and why you allways need to clear the roof of your car.
Yes, wolves in Ontario. There was one spotted in my neighborhood the other day with a squirrel in its mouth. (just outside Toronto) Many Canadians own their own snow blower but if your neighbour has on there's no need to buy one.
Thats my neighbors frame of mind .
@@MrPumpkin8ter lol
There are no wolves near Toronto at all, would have been a coyote
Plenty of coyotes but there are wolves and they do make their way into the city on occasion. @@scottyb3482
The cliff side village is probably Positano or Amalfi Italy. Def not here in Canada! Lol
Tyler, after many decades of getting me addicted to Little Debbie Swiss Roll cakes, they decided to pull out of our market entirely. What good is American food if they can't be there for you. Also, some of our universities do have fraternities and sororites. I went to York U without them and Western U with them, but yes, most universities don't have them. We just don't like the idea of paying for our friends. Yes, many of us with physical issues or who live in snow belt areas have snow blowers. I have one.
The Canadian also mispronuciated lieutenant. There is a f sound in the middle. Like leftenant
Yeah, Lil Debbie’s what the hell? I thought they just pulled from my area. Is that Nation wide?
@jasonm8017 Yes, Little Debbie screwed us all. Even so, I'm jonsing for one. Maybe I'll go to the States myself one day and buy a years supply. But what will the border officer think of the situation if I'm caught with a trunk full of Little Debbie's. 😆
Where I come from most people have a snow blower and or plow for their pickups. Every one helps each other. I finished grade 13 back in the day. And that goose is on it's nest!
When I went through school in Ontario, the normal high school graduation was grade 12. Grade 13 was necessary if you planned to go to post-high school education. It was almost a college prep year. Those with no intention of going to University or College stopped at grade 12.
When I went to Secondary School in Ontario you had to finish grade 13 to be finished school. Then you got to go on your post Secondary education
If you wanted to go to university you needed OAC (Grade 13). If you planned on going to college you could graduate after grade 12.
APPARENTLY ONLY Ontario and BC opted for grade 13 to qualify for university. It was introduced after WW2 and was originally intended to provide a college like experience for students who were not able to attend university at that time. Other provinces always stopped high school at grade 12.. I think this is factual.
@@MishkaMeshel that also depended on the college you went to.George Brown College you only needed grade 10 to apply
“Oh my god, the snow was over a foot high!” Some places in mid-southern Ontario near the Great Lakes can get that in a night (or sometimes a few hours) lol.
Your Ontario gem is actually Positano, Italy. Wishful thinking, perhaps?
It’s just a joke. Others one I’ve seen show videos of Italy and then say “Brampton, Ontario” 😂
People living crammed together like sardines is wishful thinking?
Snowbirds haven! 😉
I really like your channel man! Makes me learn about my own country! However, I noticed that the majority of the topics here couldn't be applied here in Québec. As you already know, Québec is Very different from the rest of Canada. We have French roots, our own culture and we are proud of it.
May I suggest you to dig into the Québec quest for independence, including the October crisis and the two "référendum" we had. For those who believe in our independence, we identified much as Québécois than Canadian.
Keep up with the good work man!!
From your French neighbor of the north!
Canada has the strange idea that "university should be about education". The way the USA functions with "sports as a primary focus" for their universities seems bizarre looking from the outside.
Education? Lol, no indoctrination. Very far from education. Also, your comment just seems petty and backbiting. I’m sure the graduates of Harvard, Princeton and Yale knew a thing or two other than sports.
okay, the victory lap thing, since we dont have SATs we are accepted to schools based on grades in relevant classes compared to what you are applying for. so, some students stay another year to improve their grades or take optional classes that happen to be mandatory for what they are trying to study in post secondary
That fluffy snow is fairly common. Huge fluffy flakes. You can actually see the snowflake patter to the naked eye. It's one of the onky good things about winter. The beauty.
Or, when we get hoar frost. That's the frost that makes everything spikey looking. It does look neat in the trees!
Whoa I've never seen anything like it
I just showed hubby the clip where you were surprised about the snowblowers...and he said to mention to you that we have TWO....a his and a hers lol. His is far too big and powerful with too many levers and gears and crap where I just need one that turns on, moves and gets rid of the snow. And with the ridges the road plows leave at the end of our driveways, we need help getting rid of those hard rocks of frozen solid snow that are left behind from the road salting. Definitely back breaking work for just a shovel!
Lol that's not Canada, it's a joke
If you own a home in Eastern Canada, and don't want to spend 2-3 hours shovelling snow before work in the morning.. you have to have a snowblower, or hire someone that has one!
It's not like we need to use it every day, but between December-March we can easily get one or two storms per week (probably averaging 8-9inches of snow every time.. sometimes closer to 3 feet.)!
And then, July-September we spend at the beach. 😂
Ontario used to have high school until grade 13 until probably 20 years ago when they reduced it by one year to grade 12. The year this happened created a double cohort; i.e. two graduating classes; one from grade 12 and the other from grade 13. I wasn't aware that some schools kept grade 13 as essentially a first year of university. Thus students going to these schools could save one year of university fees and possibly living expenses!
It should be mentioned that at the time Ontario was the only province or territory where students went to grade 13 before university; everywhere else except Quebec, students only went to grade 12 before university. In Quebec, students essentially still do grade 13; except they do it in two steps: 1) they go to grade 11 (or secondaire 5); 2) two years of CEGEP (college).
I actually graduated from high school twice. Once in the province of Quebec from grade 11 and the following year from grade 12 in Nova Scotia before going to University. This saved me one year of college or university fees and living expenses due to not living at home. This was not planned as it only happened due to my father's career moving us from the province of Quebec to the province of Nova Scotia following grade 11 in Quebec.
When I went to school there was nothing, you went and came home, no after school clubs, etc. In high school there were dances on Saturday night. We had some really good talent as well, the bands were great
Just to let you know. Canadian Geese remain Canadian Geese as they fly south for the warmth each year. So the Geese you see on American land are actually Canadian Geese. Also the snow that looks like spikes is caused by water droplets from the river as it was not frozen yet. Also the Snow Blower is common for may home owners but since they are American companies that made them, I know very well many of the Northern States also use a snow blower.
The proper terminology is Canada geese, not Canadian.
Actually they're Canada geese, hot shot
17:07 - On Vancouver Island you can see coastal wolves strolling certain beaches or, coming home from shopping, meet bears in your backyard sunbathing or such.
The fuzzy snow was along the Lake Louise trail from the Chateau Hotel. I was a groundskeeper there for 10yrs
As for the snow blower, I'd say if someone buys a blower, you're spending 4-6 winters' worth of snow removal contracts with a company.
