American Tests His Canadian Knowledge - What do you know about Canada?

Tyler Bucket merch available here: tylerbucket.com/
Today I have decided to put my very limited knowledge of all things Canadian to the test, literally. I recently found this 30 question online quiz that I thought would be very fun. interesting, and most importantly embarrassing for me to react to. I am not exactly sure what this quiz on Canada will cover, but I am really hoping that my recent dive in Canadian KZbin will help me.

Terry Fox is the greatest athlete to ever live. After losing his leg to cancer, he set off to raise awareness for cancer by running across Canada. He ran an average of 26 miles per day for 143 days, covering 5300km, on one leg, in harsh weather. In Thunder Bay he discovered the cancer had returned in his lungs forcing him to stop his run. He passed away soon after, just days before his 23 birthday. The Terry Fox run is now the worlds largest one day cancer fundraiser and has raised over 850 million dollars in his name.

[@loracorwyn3713]

Agree. Greatest ever. What a freaking hero.

[@davidkeech9738]

I'd pick Rick Hansen as Greatest Athlete - but Fox would be near the top.

[@BradReddekopp]

The equivalent of a marathon a day for 143 days on one leg is astounding. After an American friend of mine read more about Terry, he said we should name a province after him, not just a day.

[@Kari.F.]

A) That effort is so far, far beyond unfathomable and amazing, I'd could only have been achieved by the greatest athlete. B) It is so sad that he didn't get to live a long life. Imagine all the great things he could have achieved if he had gotten 50 or 60 or even 70 more years on this earth!?

French is taught in every school in Canada and french schools can be found in nearly every town and city. Quebec is both a city and a province. As a Canadian I love these videos.

[@camille7888]

I'm Canadian and was never taught French in school.

[@susanjohnson1105]

French is mandatory in BC and Ontario schools, as well as in Ontario Quebec and the 4 Maritime Provinces. PEI has 2nd language requirement which generally means French due to teacher availability. Naturally, Albertans not interested, nor is their neighbour Saskatchewan. French though is provided as an elective in those provinces. My kids in BC had mandatory French from grade 4 through to Grade 11. Yes yes it may have changed since 1970s to 1990s when my kids attended. In 1960s it was mandatory grade 8 to grade 11 but in grade 12 you could choose German (I was in a small country high school) if you wanted. Times change. I’m happy 2 of my grandkids are completely bilingual in English French and attend a French Immersion school thanks to their parents paving way for Federal Government occupations as an option. I mean why not. I live in a French community where French lumberjacks first settled in BC - called Maillardville and has quite a few French inspired buildings and apartments. I quite like it and besides who wouldn’t want to travel with ease in Paris or Nomandy or the French Riviera. It’s a wonderful country!

[@BRoyce69]

Someone said spot the Ontarian Bagged bill is also a regional thing. Just like being bilingual. It's useful in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick; so it's taught there, the prairies dont give enough shits to make it mandatory. Youd find it as an elective like taking Spanish or German class there.

[@gaudric98]

I guess my teachers were wrong. I'm in BC and French was taught in every school I went to.

[@GHOSTERING]

@Casey Anthony UFC I am Canadian and i speak both french and english, i'm also from Quebec. May people around you are not interested to speak french, but french is for sure a official langage, not only english. I hate people who try to forced me to speak english when i daily speak french. ^^

(ie) first American I met in Florida, asked me if I lived in an igloo! I actually had so much fun doing that test along with you and got 2 wrong myself. And I agree, that last question was naughty of the quiz masters! The other one I got wrong (second choice), was Chinese being the 2nd most common language spoken. I have to admit, that I might struggle naming, on a map, all 50 States at this point. I suggest you do a little Canadian geography (4th-5th grade stuff here) It's actually easier than yours!

Pierre Trudeau is Justin Trudeau's father and was a Prime Minister of Canada in the past. He is known for, among other things, proposing and seeing ratified the Constitution Act 1982, which included the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

[@hestoceles]

He is also well known for giving Alberta the middle finger because they didn’t want to sell their oil to eastern Canada for pennies compared to what it was actually worth

[@Liberal_From_Prairies689]

@hestoceles Oh please. Grow up and quit playing the victim. Alberta needs to quit victim playing, Alberta was being selfish as hell not wanting to allow Canada to benefit from its oil. And Albertans still don’t understand Canada as a whole is greater than the sum it’s parts.

[@Liberal_From_Prairies689]

Pierre Trudeau also alleviated the housing crisis of the 1970s by creating MURB that saw the building of over 197,000 low income affordable housing units across Canada. But then when conservatives took power, they defunded the program and cut funds to low income housing, at the time deinstitutionalization was also occurring which resulted in massive homelessness.

I'd love to see a video on Terry Fox! I remember his run, and its tragic end from when I was very young, and he is truly a Canadian hero. I could never take part in my school's Terry Fox runs because of my own disabilities, but I would always do what I could and make posters and art for them, and collect donations on behalf of my sister, who ran it every year. Rick Hansen is worth looking into as well - he was a mentor to Terry Fox, as a disabled athlete who eventually crossed every continent in the world in his wheelchair, to raise money for research into spinal cord injuries (Rick Hansen was paralysed from the waist down in a car accident), and to prove that people with disabilities are capable of amazing things.

Just to clarify, Quebec city's official name in both Canadian French and Canadian English is Québec with the accent. Even though we are in 2022, lots of softwares don't work well with accents (my name on my diploma was nearly Jo@?lle) and so people sometimes just write Quebec without the accent. In Québec (the province), people will refer to the city just as Québec and we know from context and the preposition preceeding Québec if we are talking about the city or the province. (à Québec = city; au Québec = province).

It's great that Tyler wants to learn about Canada. 22:10 Victoria is the capital of British Columbia and is located in Canada's only Mediterranean climate (the warm summer variety,) it sees a February average of 8.6C (that's roughly 46-48F when all rounding is accounted for) and there is even a commercial olive farm on nearby Salt Spring Island. On average, the BC coast enjoys some of the mildest winters in the country since the temperatures are moderated by the Pacific Ocean and the mountains block a lot of Arctic air (interior regions can be a lot colder and snowier but get progressively milder further south.) While the coast generally sees lower snowfall, it gets a lot of winter rain (it's not called a *rainforest* for nothing.) The west coast is also the *only* part of Canada that can grow cold-hardy palms *without* winter protection as the plant hardiness zones range between *8a & 9b* (the highest in Canada) by the water. To give you an idea about the moderating effect of the ocean (and just how *vast* Canada is) I’m going to compare Prince Rupert, BC (which is just south of *Alaska)* to four other Canadian cities. Prince Rupert averages 6C (43F) in February compared to -8C (18F) in St. Anthony, NL (a coastal town which sits at roughly the same latitude) 1C (34F) in Kingsville, ON (the southernmost incorporated town in Canada) and 0C (32F) in both Halifax & Toronto (which are generally ranked as two of the mildest major cities in winter outside of BC.)

Congratulations. You would pass the citizenship test with flying colours! Canada is officially bilingual (French/English) which means that all federal government services are provided in both languages across the country, and that a variety of other services (health, education etc.) are provided in the second language (English in Québec or French outside of Québec) where numbers warrant it. New Brunswick is the only officially bilingual province, which means that all provincial services are also provided in both languages. Québec is officially French only and the other eight provinces are English only. We also have all of our packaging in both languages. Quebec tried to separate in 1980 and 1995: in 1995, 49% voted to separate, 51% voted to stay.

Just so you know, Pierre Trudeau was, as you suggested, Justin's dad. He was also Prime Minister from 1968-1984 except for a six-month stint in 1979 where the opposition PC (Progressive Conservative) party was temporarily in power under Joe Clarke. Gretsky was never a Canadian politician although if he ran, especially in his hometown, he almost certainly would have won. Hockey is our national religion up here. And English and French are both Official Languages. Although that applies nationally, it's specific to services provided by the federal government. It basically means you can get service from the federal government agencies in English or French. Many provinces have also chosen to offer their services in English and French, such as Ontario and New Brunswick. Interestingly enough, when we updated our Canadian constitution in 1982, along with the federal government, New Brunswick also added English and French as official languages, so they're considered Charter rights now.

Yes English and French are both our official languages, and we are officially a bilingual country. Now in practice, French is very rarely spoken outside of Québec, and English is much less spoken inside Québec, but outside of Québec, all public services must be offered in both languages, and all our product packaging is written in both languages. From food to dvds to clothes. Tag on your t-shirt? Everything written on it is written in English, and then either on the bottom or on the reverse side, the same thing written in French. Get a burger and fountain drink from McDonalds? The packaging on the burger and the slogan on the cup are written in both English and French. If you ever come here, you’ll have to take notice of it. French is everywhere in Anglophone Canada, but due to the French Language and Culture Protectionism in Québec, I believe that federal services must also be offered in English, but they do not have to label many things in English that we in Anglophone Canada have to do in French. Because French is a minority in Canada, and the Québécois have taken strong stances to ensure the protection of their language, culture, and traditions. Québec is very nationalist in that sense. Many Québécois don’t even consider themselves Canadians, or Québec to be a province in Canada, but more so that they are their own nation within a nation. Maybe because Anglophone Canadians have historically _mostly_ (prior to New France being conquered by the British due to the results of one of many European conflicts) not been in a position of being a minority, we do not have such strong sentiments about our language. Culture perhaps, but English has cemented itself as the global language, and so if anything we are so comfortable in our global linguistic hegemony that we yearn to learn other languages without any worry about the loss of our own. It’s a long, complicated, and sometimes touchy subject, and perhaps it might be a good topic to learn about and make a video on.

[@molloblin]

I agree, it can be a very controversial subject with a lot of conflicting but valid opinions/perspectives, and there is so much historical context to dive into - its really complex. One interesting thing though is that provincially, Quebec’s only officially recognized language is French, and everyone else’s is English, with New Brunswick being the only exception to officially recognize both English and French equally. Driving from Ontario through Quebec to New Brunswick will see you passing street signs only in English, to street signs only in French, to street signs with both English and French together.

[@philippegauthier1776]

Don't take what I say for cash as it's from my own experience. I'm from the province of Quebec, born and raise, and officially we have French and English in that order. Labelling and public services must also be offered in both languages and most of the time it will be the case, it will be poor english but you will be able to communicate. The thing is because of L'office Québéquois de la langue Française (they officially don't have an english translation but it's roughly "Quebec office of the French language") employers are forced to use french as primary language for everything. You need to give reasons for not having a ressource in french and sometimes you receive fines for it. For example, at my job we needed a computer with Windows installed in english, it required poof that the french version would not work in that specific case. Because of that it is very hard to find all you need in english outside of Canadian gouvernements resources. Add to the fact that if you are not from an english parent or first nation you can't go to english schools, the only english you learn at school is approx an 1h a week for most kids.

[@karineb.fortin909]

Actually the rules of labeling are the same. In Quebec certain things have to be bilingual, but they are the same in english provinces. But some things won’t be translated. For exemple, if a shop put a sign outside to promote something or say they are closed, it will be only in french (it as to be at least in french according to the law), but it’s the same in english provinces, in ontario a shop won’t translate a sign outside saying they are closed 😉
