🇨🇦 American Couple Reacts "25 FUNNY Differences Between Canadians and Americans"

[@johnt8636]

Immigrants don't "stick to themselves," but rather are free to celebrate & practice their culture without having to change into "a Canadian" when they leave their house. As a 58 year old Canadian, I don't keep shit in...lol. We talk about American politics because it's a spectacle. Sorry, eh?

[@lightlantern]

1: We Don’t Conform 2: Online Shopping Is Everywhere Here 3: We Have Spotify 4: Multiculturalism Is Encouraged 5: Politics Is Starting To Be More Polarizing Here I’ll rewatch & let you know if more is inaccurate ✌🏼 & ❤️ 🇨🇦

[@carlop.7182]

I agree, but this was made as a funny compBut you're right--things change. Keep in mind that it was made as a funny comparison from the start--so some things are plain false, others are exaggerated a bit. And it was made a few years ago.

[@CalixYukon]

I don't think he did a good job describing Canadian differences, this video needed to be an American and a Canadian both describing their own countries. Appreciate you guys for doing this reaction still!

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

That would've definitely been interesting.

[@carlop.7182]

@@neilgayleard3842 I'm canadian, and some things are plain false or exaggerated--keep in mind that the guy is not a sociologist, but tried to make 25 funny differences video, so he had to keep it entertaining. It was not meant as scientific research, but more as a joke. americans & canadians like to poke at each other like this.

[@lpeterson2336]

We are NOT conformist. We are individuals together for a common goal. 😉

[@michaelcalce6291]

Not entirely accurate. We do have Spotify and most stores sell on-line, except mom and pop places. However, those tend to serve a very loyal community.

[@rwilsonweir5697]

This video has misrepresented the idea that Canadians are conformists and do not encourage individualism. We absolutely do appreciate individualism and are fine with non-conformity but we hate arrogance, so Canadians tend to tamp down on people thumping their chest with pride about something that they have just done, because we find people who brag about themselves obnoxious and unattractive.

[@stannetaprospere4301]

The Canadian immigrant population does not stay to themselves. We share our culture with everyone. But nobody screams at us to "speak English" if we speak our native language. If you walk into a bank in Canada and all you speak is Swahili the bank will refer you to an agent who speaks Swahili, they will not insist that you speak English. That is the difference between Canada and America when it comes to immigration. Canada accommodates other cultures, their languages and religions.

[@RandomNonsense1985]

As an American I want to apologize for all the loud idiots in my country. There are plenty of us who’d like the US to be a bit more like Canada in certain respects. Culturally we’ll never not be American, but we could really do without the aggressive stupidity.

[@carked5707]

Australian culture is closer to Canada. Tall poppy is true for us. We see it different to how he described it. It doesn't stop indepent achievement and innovation. More about humility and not thinking you are better than your community

[@heywaitaminute1984]

Which is one of many reasons why many Canadians are hoping CANZUK comes together. Frankly, I feel closer to my British, Australian and New Zealand cousins than the Americans.

[@TheNaughtySenpai]

9:58 - as a canadian: America during election time is my favourite reality TV show

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

😂🤣 It's our headache.

[@Bluenose2]

I'm a Canuck.I follow American politics all the time.Everyday I get laughs just from watching.

[@olienajh]

As aBrit I think the difference between America & Canada for me is that I would happily emigrate to Canada but will stick to just holidays in America. Just seems like a better lifestyle all round.

[@francesorensen7646]

I'm an older Canadian living in Québec. We had rules to preserve harmony in the home and in public. 1- do not discuss religion: it is personal between God and you. 2- do not discuss your salary: you will be perceived as bragging or whining. 3- do not discuss your political affiliation: it only causes friction and conflict. Simple and effective.

[@bigl9478]

I’m Canadian and I use Spotify all the time. We can order from Amazon and most other online retailers. I don’t know of a single store that doesn’t have a web site. Where did he get these crazy ideas from I wonder?!

[@brentrodewald8962]

you two are awesome people

[@neilpk70]

Ethnic groups in Canada don't "keep to themselves". They just keep more of their cultures alive, and share them with everyone else. Like how I introduced all of my Anglo Canadian friends to perogies and holobtsi as a kid. And my Lebanese Canadian friends introduced me to fatayers.

[@priestessnightowl1]

Girl, I'm from Canada.... I need your hat in my life. Lol.

[@pamelaross9930]

Okay we have Spotify and every store has a website where is this guy living? We are for the most part community minded but we are not afraid to voice our opinions. We also love sports. Our kids grow up obsessed with sports have us running around like crazy to hockey practice, football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, cheer, dance, etc, etc.

[@shawnaford5540]

Difference Canadians do not know what copayments are for medical care.

[@bigl9478]

That’s not true. Many Canadian health insurance plans have copays on them. It’s extremely common!

[@ChrisyGibbons]

You guys are awesome ..I always love your reactions ..you 2 totally ROCK❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤❤

[@JT.Pilgrim]

7:00 hey guys, here’s my Canadian perspective. We are absolutely siblings, but sorry, we are the big brother. We don’t talk behind your back, we give you loving brotherly advice 😊. It really IS the guns…don’t stop being you checking out y’all’s muscles in the mirror and calling out bulls shit when you see it cuz that’s a good thing…Don’t be a bully but be proud. Remember that when you are the star of the show, everyone else is the audience. They are judging the show….I love your reactions, it’s like I’m reacting to you guys….I’m saying “the finally noticed us right next door”…..and it’s about time for God’s sake!, 😂 keep up the good work.

[@heywaitaminute1984]

Canadians may be the grand masters of being politely rude (when we wish), but when you have a need, we'll be there reaching out to you and helping.

[@johnfrancis1528]

The U.S. constitution heralds the phrase "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness:. This phrase promotes the interests of the individual and not society. The Canadian equivalent is the phrase "peace, order and good government". This phrase promotes the interests of society, not the individual. In my mind that is the defining difference between our countries.

[@vilcoyote22]

the online shopping is actually false...however, I get why they said this in the sense of: unless you live in a big center or cities nearby, it's hard to get delivery...but so it is in the US, as heard from my boyfriend (Canadian/American couple)

[@johnam1234]

I really enjoyed the video and your comments

[@ggsg22]

I think you two are AWSOME!! love you and your thoughts and reactions Thanks Glen❤😂

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Much love!

[@nalabatch]

same i dont talk behind the back if i have somethying to say i will say it

[@wombatwilly1002]

As a Canadian you make a great point on American politics.To us,you view your politics ultra passionate almost like the Hatfields vs. the McCoys. (Republican vs. Democrat).

[@Kwolf1]

We have Spotify and we have Amazon and most of our Canadian stores do have online shopping. Half our stores in Canada are American anyways lol.

[@CarAmeL624]

I am a Canadian. I have Spotify premium and we can definitely shop online for many stores.. 🤔😅

[@JonInCanada1]

This guy is so off on his "facts" that it's laughable, if not a little insulting.

[@THErealOGse]

I just subscribed. I realized I'd been watching you pretty often and hadn't subscribed. Oops. Fixed my error! Keep up the good work. Overall I agree with you both but sometimes I don't but respect that you're respectful about sharing what you think and feel.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

THIS is what we love! We don't have to agree on everything (or at all). The point is to learn from each other's perspectives and cultures and respect one another. We're glad to have you apart of the family!

[@annickumutesi1337]

This video is not very accurate then and now. Online shopping, spotify, not true, we had them back them. The difference between melting pot and mosaic is that for Americans, you're American first before being from different backgrounds but mosaic is different people from different backgrounds and culture get together to form Canada. Another example: different types of chocolate and you melted them together: melting pot but mosaic: different types of chocolate, you put them in a big bowl. I hope I explain well!😁

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Thank you.

[@sabrab13]

I obviously can’t speak for other Canadians, but when he said, “they’ll just stew on it or apologize,” my first thought was that he was correct about me. If I have a personal problem, no one will know about it, and I’ll just hold it in and die with it 😂😂😂 I don’t like confrontation at all, it actually scares me. If there’s a small problem when friends, I’ll deal with it politely, or I’ll just distance myself

[@andreamacintyre4220]

We have Spotify, online shopping and higher taxes for our government funded healthcare

[@rwilsonweir5697]

Canadians never talk about the War of 1812!! why on Earth would we talk about an event that happened well beyond any of our living memory. that's a ridiculous statement. now do we know what it is - sure, but talk about it - no! 🙃

[@jennifersmith3245]

Lets get this cleared #7 I live in Northern Canada and let me tell you, the people here do not brag about the cold, but 100 percent COMPLAIN about the cold.

[@anniecharbonneau6657]

Province idendities is important for all provinces a lot in Québec and NB but we all have différents types of culture

[@cameracamera4415]

Individualism and individuality are not the same. In UK for example, you can buy into the whole collective idea, ie we are all society rather than just caring for yourself and your family, but still, there is more individuality in terms of dress, music, ideas, humour. Canada seems more socially minded too.

[@shadowmage135]

Look here Demouchets ! Canadians do not talk behind your back . If some one mess with one of us ; We will let you know to your face ! Am I clear on this ? Because ; I AM CANADIAN ! We are up front and in your face ! ! !

[@stevejohn3112]

this guy is not Canadian, if he was he would be better educated .

[@carlop.7182]

Thanks to both of you for your reaction. Keep in mind that the guy tried to make a funny video, so some things are a bit exaggerated. And it was made a few years ago, so a few things changed since then. Just come for a visit and see by yourself one of these days. Have a nice day.

[@lucieudem]

the 3 most biggest differences were not there: free healtcare, religion is not a part of any governmental decision and is a private affair with a good proportion of the country calling themselves atheist and the way that guns (and mass shooting) is not a problem in Canada. And ffs, of course we have Spotify ans online shopping!

[@vorca8442]

Yeah Canada has Spotify now. Been like 6 years . That video you guys watched must have been old

[@sid7088]

I don't complain at restaurants because I don't want spit in my food.

[@timcarder2170]

As a cook, I have never seen, nor heard of anyone ever doing that to a customers meal. Nor have I ever done it. Wanted to? Most definitely. A couple times an aggravating pos came in complaining about everything You *'want'* to mess with the food...but you don't. That's grounds for dismissal if you get caught. Plus a civil lawsuit. And criminal charges (how severe depends on the mood of the District/Crown Attorney). Then there's the never being hired as a cook again(can't use last job as a reference, plus the news media coverage wouldn't help). And could cost the restaurant its reputation. Causing to have to close. Costing numerous co-workers their livelihood. Also the potential of being assaulted...or worse. So why chance it?

[@sid7088]

@@timcarder2170 I'm positive most people like yourself are professional, but I'm glad you didn't say this doesn't happen though, because you and I both know that it does happen all the time. That's why if there is a serious problem, I tell them about it and leave, for good.

[@shaneduncan7309]

Canadian here I wouldn't say all of us trust and like government at all. Who likes or trusts a politician really?

[@weeyummybmp7693]

as a Canadian we talk about politics - good and bad - as our way of eventually bringing change - i do not agree with some of the social changes brought in by the government but that is also part of living in a liberal ideological society.

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Canadians put emphasis on sports. We invented hockey and basketball. We are in the Olympics and Commonwealth games etc. Immigrants display their culture. In Edmonton we have Heritage Days which is the biggest multicultural festival in the world. We don;t trust out governments. We like individuality. We have online shopping. This guy doesn't know too much.

[@shadowmage135]

We have Temu

[@Allsizes]

We never compare ourselves to americans

[@Allsizes]

He was totally wrong about the online shopping... im sure it happens in the remote areas of canada

[@lisawarner8578]

That video wasn’t the best Canadians do not conform, we think individuality is a good thing, just community minded and it doesn’t matter where in the country you are that is always the same. Every province is unique visually as well as the way they do things but we are all Canadian, we are in this boat together. Also we have access to all those things he said we don’t have, if you don’t want to leave your home believe me you don’t have to, convince is a wonderful thing!

[@CarharttCowboy]

The War of 1812 was when us Canadians marched on Washington and burned the White House down

[@zenobyte6067]

This was not very accurate or well done at all...

[@shawnaford5540]

I agree missing context such as why Canadians know about the war of 1812.

[@mmjb53]

Unfortunately these days we have some who have been emboldened by the trump era as well so some of our conservatives are shifting as well

[@Kwolf1]

Since Donald Trump Canadians are getting more divided by which party they vote for. Conservatives and Liberals are starting to butt heads a lot more.

[@vorca8442]

Oh I think that guy in that video is bs on some things . Of course we have online shopping . Infact too much.

[@operadad]

not sure when this video was made but the dude is way off base in many areas. I see others have pointed out most of them. I find it odd that the video guy says that Canadians are passive aggressive and talk about you behind your back. That has never been my experience. I see that often on American reality tv but not here. I think most Canadians are more healthy in their communication styles when in conflict as in general Canadians are way more empathetic as a people having lived in both countries

[@operadad]

i forgot to mention i think you both are awesome reactors and i can tell are truly kind and compassionate people.. you would fit in well in Canada.. keep up the great reactions.. only love to you.

[@CarharttCowboy]

He was way off on multiculturalism. Canada is the most diverse country in the world

[@2needtoknow]

So much misinformation here.

[@marceldagenais1893]

Politics is a blood sport.

[@ragnarokthewarchild5059]

We Canadians are not that trusting and approval of our goverment because we know that absolute power corrupts absolutely and they know they have no real authority to makes us do what is morally wrong against both the individual and the collective because the collective is a group of individuals all looking at the same thing from multiple perspectives and that is one reason why we have 5 parties and our conservatives are actually better then America's in some ways but are the same in others because you can't be progressive all the time sometimes you need to slow down and conserve what you just did for feature generations for them to build upon to futher progress humanity and society the individual and the collective
