That thing about not being independent until 1982 is a bit of a stretch. It is technically true that all Canadian legislation had to be signed off on by the monarchy's representative, the Governor General (called royal assent), but since 1931, the Governor General's appointment became based on the direction of the elected prime minister and the "royal assent" became effectively a rubber stamp only.(It is technically still required to this day, but it doesn't mean that Canada isn't independent or can't write its own laws without the approval of the monarch.) In fact, it is probably most accurate to say that it was the passing of the Statute of Westminster in the UK Parliament in 1931 that made Canada independent in the most important sense. From 1867 to 1931, Canada was considered "self-governing" but laws passed in Canada were subject to being overturned by the UK Parliament. After that, the legislation passed by the local government was no longer subject to that. (Technically, ally, until 1949, Supreme Court of Canada decisions could be appealed to a UK court called the Judicial Court of the Privy Council (JCPC) and the determination of whether a law was unconstitutional was determined by applying the UK Constitution because we didnt have our own, but after 1931, the UK would not actively intervene in the legislative process and Canada (as well as Australia and New Zealand) were no longer obliged to use the JCPC as the court of final determination and could choose to have their own Supreme Court determine the constituionality of laws. Effectively, this meant that if Canada chose to stop allowing constituional referrals to the JCPC (as it ultimately did), then Canada's constitution wpuld start to differ from the UK Constitution as chalenges were decided to the extent that the Constituion in Canada was then a combination of the BNA act of 1867, the UK Constitutionnas it existed anad had been interpreted by the UK courts up until then, as well as the juidicial interpretations of Canadian Courts regarding constitutionalbm questions after 1931, that may gave differed from decisions reached in the UK high courts. Technically, we could have "passed" our own constitution anytime after 1931, it just took us until 1982 to get it done. However, I would suggest that it was the ability to pass our own constitution that made us independent and the actual act of doing so just meant that we had decided to officially stop borrowing the UKs constitution to determine the scope of our government's authority to pass laws and determine the limits of of our rights and freedoms. This was arguably necessary as well because there was actually a growing tension in legal circles regarding the status of certain legislation that the Canadian government had passed such as the 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights in terms of whether it had the status of a constitutional document and although we had arguably already created our own constitution as I mentioned above (in terms of being something different than the UK Constitution to the extent of how they had diverged since 1931 based on the intepretations of their respective courts), there was a lot of politics around challenges to things like abortion rights, french language laws, Sunday shopping laws, and other matters where the status of the bill of rights as constitutional vs. "mere statute" made it clear that we needed to affirmatively create a document that would be defined as the constitution to clean up the mess.

In Quebec, there are many words that English locals will use the french pronunciation for, and poutine is one of those words. Other examples would be "Pie-IX" is pronounced "Pee nuf", "Begin" as a street name is "Beh-shjay" comes close (the exact sound doesn't exist in English).

[@marcl2213]

Living in Moncton. I’m surprised that the Hill tourists attraction could be listed here. Was curious to see how Google would describe it : «It is said that there is a mysterious magnetic force emanating from the hill that pulls stationary vehicles within its range and makes them move uphill, though some contests that it is a mere optical illusion. The strange occurrence has been experienced and testified by travellers from all across the world.»

Alexander Graham Bell was Canadian. He came from Scotland. Canada Post volunteer to answer letters for Santa annually. Didn't in 2024 because of the postal strike. We eat so much mac& cheese that Kraft changed to label to KD in Canada to honour our name Kraft Dinner for their mac&cheese. We eat 55% more than Americans per capita. Out of the 7 million boxes sold each week around the world, Canadians purchase 1.7 million of them.

Bell invented the phone and lived in Baddeck, Cape Breton, inventing the telephone in Brantford, Ontario, Canada in 1874 and developing it in Boston, Massachusetts. (AI assist)

He was visiting his parents in Tutela Heights ( Brantford) when he got the idea for the telephone.

Watch many, many of your videos Tyler. My congratulations on the great job you do on these and from my heart, I applaud, almost worship your dedication to learning about the Land of the Frozen Moccasin and sharing your finds. A very, very small point from this one - we need to work on some of the pronunciations: Cabot, Newfoundland, and Clamato. I don't know about Caesars being our national drink, but it is popular and dangerously delicious. There are a few commercially prepared Caesars in the 'fridge. I'll have one, maybe two during the Leafs' game - two plus a bath if they win, one and no bath if they lose. 😂 Tnx again Bernie from Bedford NS

Population of Canada (real-time model) 41,593,707 Some Math for Yall Canada is home to an estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000 moose. Let's take an average of 750,000 moose for calculation purposes. If Canada has a population of 41,593,707 people, we divide the number of moose by the number of people: $$\frac{750,000 \text{ moose}}{41,593,707 \text{ people}}$$ Approximately, each person in Canada would get around 0.018 moose. So, basically, less than a hoof each! 🦌

I heard that in Churchill, Manitoba (the Polar Bear Capital) that everyone leaves their cars unlocked so that if someone is getting chased by a Polar Bear, they know they can access a nearby vehicle for safety. And yes, the Caesar is well known, but not everyone likes it. And yes we LOVE Mac and cheese, or Kraft Dinner. But the only time we call it "Kraft Dinner" is when it's made out of a box. If it's homemade, we call it mac and cheese, or just "mac".

You can find most Canadians in a Tim Hortons' parking lot, sitting on their respective lawn chair and sucking back their coffee spiked beer. They enjoy eating poutine covered in moose topping, alongside their favourite beaver tail snack, all while nestled in their community igloos that the proud customers build next to the Tim Hortons' drive through. Basketball first came to be when ice fishing men accidentally let their poutines freeze over, and they began chucking it in the fishing hole that they had dugout in the Tim Hortons' lot. All of this information is verifiable through Canada Vignettes. Just wanted to set the record straight. You're welcome! LOL!

I feel like they could have added this fact: Younge st., in Toronto is actually the world’s longest street at 56km. The Trans-Canada highway is the world’s longest highway. So we have both.

[@RyguyAB]

This comment would be better if it was accurate.... It is Yonge St., not Younge St. and it's status as the longest street in the world is something of an urban legend, even though it did make it into the Guiness Book of World Records at one point, it was arguably never accurate. As the Wikipedia page about Yonge St. says, it may actually be Dundas St. that has the best claim to the longest street in the world... Additionally, the Trans-Canada Highway is not the longest in the world. It may be the longest non-loop highway within a single country, but it is way shorter than the Pan-American Highway, Australia's national highway or the Trans-Siberian Highway. Other than the Australian highway, the others are technically multi-national highways but I don't know how long the Russia portion of the Trans-Siberian actually is.

13:43 - The Canadian national drink Caesar is similar to the Bloody Mary drink. The similar ingredients is tomato juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt and a fresh celery wedge. The differences for Caesar is the Clamato (pronounced clah-mah-toe; mix of clam juice and tomato juice), Tabasco, lime and celery salt; while the Bloody Mary drink has lemon juice, horseradish, and celery seeds. And I tried the Caesar, it is the best drink ever made, chef's kiss! 17:41 - Remember one month ago, where you did reacted to the 101 Facts about Canada part 3 on your channel, I commented that Santa Claus dresses with 2 main colors, red and white, which is also the color of the Canadian flag!

While basketball was "invented" by a Canadian - James Naismith - it was actually invented in the USA. Mr Naismith invented it while teaching at a YMCA in Springfield Massachusetts. "Kraft Dinner" is a particular brand - probably the most popular brand one might buy in a grocery store BUT it isn't the only one. Most people I know would refer to the dish as Mac and Cheese in general and use Kraft Dinner ( or KD ) only when referring to that brand.
