If a snow storm is that bad the working area is close for days and days untill the snow is clear out.

@4:04 the picture of the lady on the cigarette package dying is actually a picture of Barbara Tarbox, who died because of smoking, and during her last months of life she tried her best to spread the message of how terrible smoking is and how it ruined her life, caused her family so much pain because of her death. I am proud to say she really reached me. She got me to quit smoking, and I am still cigarette free many years later. Thank you for giving me my life back Barbara, you helped me and many others, you didn’t die in vain ❤

That's fantastic I wish I could quit, but it's my only Vice. I quit drinking, and smoking pot. It keeps me sane.

[@dianewebster3763]

@ you definitely have to want to quit in order to quit. You could always exchange the smoking for something that you find enjoyable that is also healthy, like art or exercise, or a hobby ❤️🥰 because smoking not only shortens lifespans, it also takes up so much time during the day. When I first quit smoking I found myself bored because I didn’t have cigarettes to fill in the day during all of my boring moments. After a while I found enjoyable things to fill up that time- and nowadays I don’t know how I even found time to smoke before. I am happier now that I have more time every day to do things I enjoy and I have more time to get things accomplished that I need to get done💝

My granddaughter acquired a virus that behaved like polio. She went to BC Children’s Hospital where she was for weeks. Her parents were assigned mental Health care to deal with the stress, a social worker to help them navigate options available to them and more. My granddaughter got treatment for her medical needs and rehab services to help her learn to walk again (among other things). They were given no cost accommodations at Ronald McDonald House on the hospital grounds and ferry passes for my granddaughter to travel off Vancouver Island for follow-up treatment and back again. Like you, they paid zero dollars. I’m on a FB group for kids who also got the virus and ended up very sick. Many are in the USA and it is absolutely heartbreaking to hear about parents struggling to afford treatment, physio etc. It doesn’t compute in my Canadian brain.

[@killingus777]

[@Shridra]

it's so dumb to me because they pay almost the same amount in insurance as we pay in taxes, but then they also have to pay on top of that! That's what they don't get! I didn't have anything nearly as bad, but I have a history of pregnancy loss and high risk pregnancies. All of my prenatal care, D&C, genetic testing, a counselor to discuss my grief with, not only a regular OB but a high risk doctor, 3 c sections, 3 hospital stays, follow ups with a nurse who was also a lactation consultant... My total cost for that was whatever I paid in parking and about $120 for my 2nd because I chose to have a private room.

I am 53 years old and born and raised in Canada. I still stop and feel awe when I see the carpet of diamonds that is created when the sun shines on snow. I still ooooo when the air is calm and huge flakes are floating to the ground in perfect silence. I still stand in wonder when the freezing cold temperatures cause sun dogs and light spears in the sky. I feel peace when viewing a winter pastel sunset. Winter in Canada is amazingly beautiful.

[@Polytrout]

@rhondahoughton790Canada Re: "Winter in Canada is amazingly beautiful " I don't know which part of Canada to which you are referring, but it couldn't possibly be anywhere south of the 401 in Ontario after 1987. I grew up in Mississauga, Ontario, and I have seen the winters where we'd get anywhere from 10 days to 2 weeks of -25°C (not necessarily consecutively we're talking about Southern Ontario here) to not a single day of -20°C. I love 0°C - (-5°C) and snow - I CAN'T STAND 1 - 5°C and rain.

[@rhondahoughton790Canada]

@ I am from the north eastern area of Saskatchewan. The winters here are bitterly cold and windy but the few peaceful sunny days are just make to be enjoyed in nature. The frost coating every branch of the trees and every blade of grass thurs the landscape into a black and white image just touched by the blush of the sunrise. The air is so still that you almost don’t want to breathe. There is a sense of waiting as no one wants to be the first to disturb the coating of frost. Then as the sun rises the winds begin and the world comes to life. It is an amazingly barren and cold place but the beauty will take your breathe away with you least expect it and make you pause in wonder.

Late in November, she was discharged from the ICU and admitted to a rehabilitation center for physiotherapy since she needs to relearn to walk, talk, and so on. They anticipate that she may be able to return home by late January or early February if her progress continues at the same pace. The best part? The total cost is $0.00.

To be clear about it the cattle have a reason to be scared of a canada goose. The power in their wing beats can easily break human bones (the humerus is the most common large bone broken in a canada goose attack). They can easily hurt even something as large as a cow, and the attack is sudden and unrelenting, so it's disconcerting in a huge way. A cow has only one thing to do in that flurry of wing blows and that is to flee.

Lots of wind and hail and we weren't certain if my parents' front window could withstand it. It did and there was no damage to the house but my uncle (an insurance claims adjuster at the time) spent the next 2 weeks in a neighboring community tallying up the damage. Canadian storms are no laughing joke, especially with hail that can get golf ball sized or larger. The hitchbot thing was a social experiment about people's generosity and altruism. The idea was to take a picture of it, take it on a leg as far as someone was going, and then dropping it off for the next hopefully good Samaritan to continue the journey. Canadian Geese aren't to be underestimated.

About the snowed-in door : you see at the top that the snow is only a few inches thick, at the base it might be another thing, but it's mostly snow pressed against the door by the wind. it's not 6-foot of snow all the way to the street. Might very well be 2-3 feet though. This happened to me once, the problem you have is that the shovels are mostly in the shed...Used a hockey stick (I know, most canadian thing ever) to batter it down, waded trough the snow to the shed, cleared enough snow to open the door a few inches to grab a shovel in the shed, and then the real work began.... Only happened once in my life, but it was enough to keep a shovel by the door after that ! Things like that aren't common, but you get one or two very bad snowstorms every few years...

[@tristanridley1601]

It can be thicker than that, but it does mean your door ended up in a snow drift. Those can easily be six feet thick though at chest height, even in southern Ontario

Snow drifts can be insane, especially out in the country. I've seen 20ft high drifts across the roads, particularly Christmas 2022 in Ontario. Several local roads were closed and our township declared a state of emergency.

One of my brothers lives in Alberta. I live in southern Ontario. While we get hail, it’s nothing like what the Prairies get. One hail storm wrecked most of the aluminum siding on his house, dented his car quite badly and broke windows. There was several thousand dollars of damage done. Here in Ontario, I sometimes put my car in the garage and cover my plants during hailstorms. No comparison! 🙂

[@joypenketh3290]

In Canada it is illegal to hit a goose with your car so in all cities you have to stop and wait if a gaggle of geese are crossing the road. You cannot even attempt to shoo them away because they will attack you if you try. When several (20 or more) decide to cross the road you can be trapped there for a half hour or longer because they don't waddle very fast and sometimes they change their mind part way and decide to go back to where they came from.

Not all of Canada gets snow like that in winter but some places do. There are also areas, like the prairie provinces, that don't necessarily get a lot of snow, but it can be windy and the snow blows into drifts that can get quite high.

On the prairies, when the wind is blowing for a long time and it’s below freezing at the same time, snow drifts aren’t the worst - the ice on the roads can be treacherous, winter tires or not.

[@Zlata1313]

​@@JohnU1515same here. The drifts are usually in front of my garage door🙄

[@JohnU1515]

@Zlata1313 That's one of the worst spots for it to build up isn't it? Depending on the house/garage layout it most likely is the furthest spot from the yard so means you have that much more distance to shovel or blow the snow. Did you get a massive drift on Christmas Day in 2022 also? For myself because the yard isn't an ideal place to put the snow and the driveway being able to fit 6 cars and also living at the end of a bay means I have to push and blow the snow from the garage, down the driveway, across the street, and into the middle of the bay, so about 120 feet in total. The city never clears the snow in the bay either so I have to do the road in front of the house also so nobody gets stuck going around. Each heavy snowfall takes about 4 hours of clearing snow as a result of all of that. Edit* These two paragraphs are for non drifts and just a basic heavy snowfall.

If you want to see more Canadian geese, and you have not yet seen this movie, get yourself a copy of Fly Away Home (1996) starring Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin. The main Characters are a flock of Canadian geese, and the movie was filmed mostly in Canada as well. One of my all time favourite Canadian movies!!! For the record, on the population map - The colours are red down the bottom which covers Toronto and the GTA as well as London, Windsor, and Hamilton. Green along the St Lawrence River which covers Montreal and Quebec city. On the far left at the bottom is purple (not blue) and that covers the cities of Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria. All of which are down near the border with the USA. The rest of the country is yellow. That includes the provinces of PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Labrador, Northern parts of all the provinces as well as Yukon, NWT and Nunavut territories. The population of Canada is currently around 40 million. And each colour represents 1/4 of that - so 10 miillion for each colour.

My grandfather had to use the tractor to plow a path between our houses, the driveway, the lane, and a large portion of the fields so the cows could walk to their food/water. We had to dig the cows out with shovels(185-200), and I believe we lost 3-5 yearlings due to them being stranded away from the herd. The snow was so deep that my cousins and I dug tunnels all throughout the yards and made various forts in the center. Come spring, our parents kept finding toys, blankets, food, and even a school textbook as the snow melted. We spent hours outside and our parents could never find us as we made sure the tunnels were too small for them that they'd send the dog out with notes in his collar to tell us to come in. 😂 My brother, who is over a decade younger, never believed us as he's never seen that much snow in one place other than the mountains.

I lived where hailstorms are common in the summer, usually several of them every summer, and usually on some of the hottest days! So much hail would fall in just a few minutes that the ground would be completely white with inches of the stuff, and it might take hours for it all to melt on the north side of the house and/or in the shade, even though it was a hot summer's day. The hail was sometimes as big as golf balls, but no matter it's size from inside the house it always sounded like entire truckloads of rocks being dumped on the roof. And in some neighborhoods where the storm was the most fierce and/or hail the largest, windows on people's homes would be broken, siding would have huge holes punched into it, cars would be completely dented from one end to the other, and car windows would be smashed! The worst I personally experienced was having all of the windows screens on one side of the house torn to shreds, with dents and strike marks all over the siding and roof vents.

The cigarettes started having that type of warning label in the 90's when I was in high school. They've increased visible restrictions on cigarette packaging since then.

It feels like there is a lot less smoking seen in public because you can't smoke within 3 meters of doors or windows of business, in apartment buildings, and not supposed to smoke in parks.

I just pointed north and told them to keep on driving. It was only 2,000 or so miles away. The main problem I have with people from the US is that they have been taught that the US is the best country ever. Many have never been outside of the US and have no idea that there is a real world outside the borders, beautiful places to see, and that the US is NOT and never has been the best country ever. Educate yourselves.

I grew up in Niagara Falls, Canada and it was a common occurrence for tourists to ask, "Where is the snow?". From April to September.

[@SIChins]

Washington state borders Canada, Oregon does not.

[@lynnharper3048]

@@SIChins No, it doesn't. But most of Oregon is north of the southern boarder of Canada. That was my point.

If you are in the hospital for a few days there is no charge, but if it is longer, you will get a huge bill. I've had friends that this happened to, and I was billed a huge bill for antibiotics, that I had to take at home.

[@anothersquid]

I've had the snow-door thing in Ontario, but it's not super common. I'd imagine that is something you could find in Minnesota from time to time.

[@Leatoo]

Chipmunk, not a squirrel

[@craigscott6975]

EXACTLY and much cuter too!

[@TheJjnowell]

Big ass chipmunk...its a gopher. They come up often looking for food as they're used to tourists!

[@Whos_duck]

5:07 that’s a chipmunk I think

[@pattybeck5101]

Hail can indeed break windows, dent cars, ruin shingles and take divots out of the grass. They can be 1/4” to tennis ball size.

[@NemFX]

We had a summer hail storm. I had to get the laundry in so I tossed on my helmet. There's dents and scratches on it from the hail.

[@Truthhammer711]

The grass bit was just a dig at Saskatchewan. It’s so flat there and can be windy.

[@lucidmoses]

I think every home owner in Canada has seen the snow at the door but it's pretty rare to go all the way up. My guess is that's from the east cost. Also, Houses mostly have two doors so only one is in the direction of the wind.

[@mariearrington3591]

That was our house in Saskatchewan on the farm when I was a kid in the 50’s

[@laurayoung8001]

Yes most houses have a storm Door.

[@mariagusman6949]

Wrong. Not every home owner. There ARE regions in Canada where snow is rare, scant and short lasting. Please fact check.

[@YoshMaster]

I’ve lived in Montreal, Quebec, Longueui and Sherbrooke and I’ve never had more that a few invhes of snow AT the door…..

[@mariagusman6949]

@ exactly. The door imprint in the snow could easily be in Michigan or something. Even Alaska or places in Europe. Why does it automatically need to be assumed as Canadian?

[@TGriffiths-ve6nw]

I have seen the "snow door" happen at my parents house. They lived exposed to the ocean and that is caused by drifting caused by heavy winds. You don't go out on days like that.

[@Risad]

Haven't seen that much snow where I live since I was a kid, but when it happened, our parents put us in snowsuits and tossed us into it and told us to go outside and play.

[@madisonstone3258]

Canadian here... Every morning I have a pack of squirrels come to my balcony waiting for their endless supply of peanuts. If I leave the door open they will come inside and feed themselves. As far as the medical bill, we make up for it in extremely high taxes, I pay over 30% being self employed. Also I have never been able to get a family doctor and when I dropped a blade on my foot the ambulance cost $385 so not everything is "free".

[@CGBS4744]

Canadian Geese are also known as Cobra Chickens around here. Keep your distance or you'll soon find out who's in charge rather quickly🤣😂🤣 RTFO!!!🤘

[@Bubble-GuyEh]

[@lynnedavance5833]

No need to snarl!!!

[@Bubble-GuyEh]

@lynnedavance5833 lol i put it in caps so ppl would see it..your the one thats yelling with the exclamations 🤫

[@miniciominiciominicio]

15:49 The quarter section you thought was blue is purple. (I read a few comments and didn’t see anyone say this so if you got several comments like it already I apologize!

[@Trap_Bandicoot]

3:00 that much snow used to be more common in southern ontario but not as much lately we do get it rarely. But for it to reach the top of the door your either in northern canada or you really angered the snow plow guy.

[@karenneill9109]

Yeah, places that have major snow drifts, the door is higher up- like Montreal.

[@guymarcgagne7630]

The snow door - it is all about the wind blowing/packing it against the door. Also the little photo bomber is a chipmunk. Dragging the Speaker of the House (of Parliament) is a tradition that plays out in all Commonwealth Parliaments, very much tongue in cheek.

[@nancyrawson132]

Don't be fooled by the pic of blank paper: it may be considerably cheaper to have a hospital stay in Canada than the US, but the reality is, our health care system is so broken that emergency rooms have closed due to lack of staff; wait times are ridiculously long - sometimes more than 24 hours to be seen; and most Canadians no longer have a family doctor or access to health care. Some Canadians are paying huge $$$ to go out of the country for surgeries because they would have to wait more than a year to get things like hip and knee replacements here.

[@chandarussell]

A big snowdrift outside your door. You don’t see this too often in western Canada but you will find it in eastern Canada especially in the Maritimes. They get huge amounts of heavy wet snow. The picture on the cigarette box is quite normal. Also in Canada you cannot have cigarettes on display anywhere. They are kept in cupboards behind the checkout counter and you have to ask for them. Only people over 18 can buy them. No bill from our hospitals. And the hail storm. Those are pretty common in western Canada. Yes, they break house and car windows and this past summer they were so bad they literally ripped the siding off houses.
