Australian Reacts to Meanwhile in Canada Hilarious Memes That Sum Up The Country Perfectly

[@BorealisNights]

From Wikipedia... "Back bacon is a cut of bacon that includes the pork loin from the back of the pig. It may also include a portion of the pork belly in the same cut." Just to be clear, we also eat 'regular bacon", and, as for "Canadian Bacon, we don't even really call it that.. its either "Back bacon", or "Peameal bacon"(Because its rolled in peameal.. the yellowish layer you see on the outside). What you call 'regular bacon", is also referred to as "Side Bacon"(as compared to, yes, "Back bacon).

that bacon was the "CBC" logo

"When do you change over to winter tires?" I dunno about other places, but in my Canadian city the answer is "2 weeks after the roads have turned to fucking ice and I've slid across a whole 4-lane road turning right at an intersection and into some parked cars". At least that's what it seems like based on what I see every year

Newfoundland here, Canada has bacon just like your streaky bacon. We call it bacon. What you call Canadian bacon we call Peameal bacon. We do this so we can have twice the bacon on the plate without lookin greedy. Usually snows once or twice here in October but won't stay long, usually snows on Halloween so you have to wear a snowsuit over your costume. We'll be changin our tires over soon but my back can't handle it anymore, so we'll make a call and a guy will come and do the cars in the driveway cheaper than the garage will. Handy that. Also, ketchup chips taste like the devils arse, don't know why anyone eats them at all.

[@nolanharriott4574]

The snow plow always seems to come down the street after you’ve cleaned out the driveway and he pushes snow back into it. And it’s always big 100lb chunks of ice the you have to chop up just to move.

I grew up in Quebec, and could usually wait until end of November to switch tires. My experience since moving to Winnipeg: If you don't put your winter tires on by the second or third week of October, you can be caught off guard by the first snow; then you may not be able to get into the tire-shop for days (possibly a week) because everyone is in a hurry to have their tires swapped out! 😉We usually have snow or sleet by Hallowe'en (the 31st), but it doesn't stop the kiddies! In fact, tonight's forecast has us going down to -5 degrees, which will be the first night below freezing this fall.

@@jacquelinesavoie9749 According to Environment Canada's Winnipeg Office, the forecast low for the overnight period, measured at approximate 6:45 AM on Friday morning, was minus 4.5 degrees WITH the wind chill. On the other hand, the lowest temperature on Thursday October 3rd, or yesterday, was recorded at 23:00 hours PM to be 1.8 degrees, with no wind chill yet measurable, at that time.That is the most recent historical data presently available. There are, of course, also geographic variations; for example, it is not uncommon for readings to be 1 to 3 degrees cooler in the North-Western part of the city (at the airport) than in the South-Eastern part of the city, due in part, to the density of structures (or lack thereof) and wind-speeds.

Quebec has an actual law that dictates when you require winter tires, which I think is a pretty good law… the rest of the country basically plays it by ear. For me, mid/end of October is a practical time to switch, because everyone else waits until the snow falls, and all the tire shops are swamped .

On the subject of gas prices, remember, we are the third largest in oil reserves. 🤔 I don’t use winter tires, mountain symbol on a 4x4 truck, good for the mud spring and fall as well. And we shovel snow when we have to. I’ve done it in August in Alberta. But the minus 30 c and sideways snow of Manitoba starting in November, usually, has its own challenges. A prairie winter is a must experience, especially as a warm up for the arctic 😉.

[@Ottawajames]

Oh the snow plows are worse than that. So they're basically a truck with a big shovel on the front of it. And the shovel part of it is angled in order to push the snow to the side. It always seems to happen that after you've spent an hour shoveling your driveway the snow plow will come by and push all of the snow from the street right onto the end of your driveway blocking in your car so you have to continue shoveling your driveway. And it is always the dirty wet slushy snow from the street.

12:00 "Canadian Bacon". A few things here: -I think you missed that the bacon here is cut into the logo for the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, our oldest television network, going all the way back to the invention of television. Back in the days when there were only 13 channels on the TV's literal dial, and several of those were hypothetical channels (i.e. filled with static), CBC would be the one channel where Canadians were getting Canadian content, not something imported up from the more prolific USA networks. To a certain extent, their logo can be thought of as a symbol of Canadian Culture. -"Regular bacon" is cut from the fat, greasy belly of the pig. It was almost impossible to give away in the fat-phobic 1980s, and that was a big problem for pork producers, but a US burger franchise named Hardy's started putting it on hamburgers and it rapidly became more popular. Now bacon is a freakin' meme! -Back bacon, as the name suggests, is cut from the pig's back, and is much leaner, less greasy, but still quite flavourful. For reasons I've never quite understood, in the USA this is sold as "Canadian Bacon". As far as I'm aware, we're not exporting pig backs, so do read the small print of the packaging to find out where it actually comes from (I'm betting it's your same old local pig farms). We naturally don't call it "Canadian Bacon" here in Canada (although it is from locally raised pigs). Also I'm personally never going back to eating greasy belly fat bacon if I can help it (not going to throw it back in my host's face if I'm a guest somewhere, but that aside...). It's horribly unhealthy, literally causes cancer, and is frankly gross. Nope. I'm done with it. More for you if you can stomach it. Have at it.

Okay, I rarely feel the need to comment on anything on line but for some reason I think Aussie Tash needs a tweak to her Canadian education. I’m Canadian born and bread and the first time I had “Canadian Bacon” was on a trip to the US in my mid twenties. I had never heard the term because that is not bacon, it’s ham. It was on a US menu and I ordered it out of curiosity, it is the breakfast ham like the stuff used on McDonalds egg McMuffins. In Canada bacon is the same as it is everywhere else. However, there is a product here called “peameal bacon” and it is more like a thick cut of pork belly, salted, smoked and rolled in cornmeal. You often hand slice it to cook, it makes a great sandwich that is frequently sold at fall fairs and farmers markets. The meme shown here with the ham is funny because it is forming the cbc logo. Tash when you come to Canada try to find a peameal bacon sandwich, I like mine with a bit of mustard. Also, don’t feel bad about not liking ketchup chips. I have never liked them either, “All Dressed” all the way!

RIGHT??!! I'm Canadian, what we prettly much all grew up eating called 'bacon' was ubiquitous across most of Canada as strips of cured pork like most of the rest of the western colonial countries. Nobody here calls peameal 'bacon', its 'peameal'. I was also intrigued and really really confused getting peameal with a 'Canadian Breakfast' abroad. I like peameal like the next guy, but nobody is convincing me that its bacon, although I didn't know until recently that its not available in many other countries.

Mind you, this is something you need to make an appointment with your mechanic for, and lots of people procrastinate, then the first big snowfall of the year catches them by surprise, and they end up in a ditch. :P Driving technique in snowfall is a bit different too (more cautious, obviously, but that's not all of it). Lots of people seem to need a while to remember how to drive in snow. Manageable risks aside... to be perfectly honest, I LOVE driving in falling snow, especially at night! It's simply beautiful!

8:55 "Will Canada say 'Sorry' for taking over the world?" Certainly we will! It costs us nothing and it's considerate to do so. Sorry Tivia: Canada actually has a law on the books that saying "sorry" cannot be taken as a legal admission of guilt. This shapes our culture. We are most often compared (even by ourselves) to our cousins to the south. In the USA, if two people are in a car accident, NEITHER will say sorry at any point, because to do so would be like confessing they are at fault, and legally liable for all damages. That "sorry" would come back to bite them in a courtroom, so they won't say it. I often think that the reason this "sorry" stereotype stuck to us, isn't that we actually say sorry constantly, or when there's no need of it... but because our most-frequently-compared-to neighbours say sorry so rarely, even when there is a need for it. Are we *really* unusually polite... or do we just seem that way compared to our neighbours?

[@hinoron6528]

0:45 I'll have to explain the snowplow experience. Seems like a few of these jokes are dependant on it. Nature dumps 6-8 inches worth of light fluffy snow onto your driveway overnight, but more is coming, so you need to clear it away or by the time you get back from work, it will be 12-16 inches and you won't be able to get into your own driveway (I have tried gunning it and got stuck halfway up the incline, then slide back down. Not recommended). So to avoid that, it's 6:30am and you are out with a shovel getting your heavy exercise in before the workday even begins. Hope you don't have a bad back, because the snow doesn't care. It takes a full hour to clear your driveway, and the sidewalks in front of your house that you're legally responsible for keeping clear (be nice if your richer neighbour with the snowblower did the sidewalks for the whole block, but you're not willing to bet a steep fine on his going that extra mile... and it feels rude to expect it, honestly.) So you've finally cleared down to the road, soaked in sweat under your heavy warm clothes, despite the temperature outside, and just at that moment, the big plow comes down the street, rolling all the snow from the road out of the middle of the street off to the side... where your driveway is. *A second ago it was clear,* now in mere moments, it's piled up with snow up to your waist, and this ISN'T the light fluffy snow you're sweaty from pushing and scooping for the last hour; THIS snow is dense, highly compacted, hard and heavy, and dirty. You were *maybe a minute* away from getting to leave for work, but now you're very literally sealed in. If you tried to ram it full speed you'd just destroy your car. This thick curl of compacted snow will take as long to clear as your entire driveway did, and be even more exhausting. ...Time to call in sick. It won't be a lie. You aren't going to have the strength to move your rubbery arms again until noon at the earliest, and you definitely need another shower. You spend the morning gasping for breath and imagining increasingly horrific and ironic ways introduce the snow plow driver to his deity of choice.

Lynx are pretty small, maybe only 5-15kg only a bit bigger than a house cat. I bet they'd be nice to have a cuddle with. Not that I would, but I'm a bit of a Disney princess with wildlife.

You will be one very happy person. Fry (preferably [ham-steak] thick, NOT beef steak thick) slices SLOWLY in salted BUTTER on a pan over medium heat & (using the pan lid or some other way, keep emptying the watery juices that come up, leaving only whatever is under the meat.) (This is easy but requires a bit of patience, like making a BBQ hamburger, EXCEPT you need to keep watch like with regular bacon.) Add extra butter to the pan if there isn't enough & it starts getting brown (moving next to hard & burnt) & starts sticking to the pan. (It is okay, even preferable if the slices become a light golden, but plain light pink & soft works VERY well as well.) Flip the slices over a few times until the meat no longer has any see-through (translucent) quality. At this point you just slip it between the bun THICKLY!!, allowing the buttery juices on the meat to come as well. (Don't butter the bun with fresh butter or from putting the bun open in the pan as this will make it too greasy. The amount of butter dripping off of the meat should be enough.) You can also toast the bun while you are in the end stages of cooking the meat if you want to make it extra good. If you want to beautify your breakfast eggs on a weekend, make peameal bacon this same way (without the bun) to go with them sometime. It will be a treat! (I think we will need to get AussieTash to give this a try as well if she can get the meat & if she eats pork.) Take care.

This is JUST a guess though for why Americans give it that name.) Some people in the comments are wrongly, (though not on purpose I am sure), telling you that this is called "peameal bacon." I guess these people are from areas of Canada not used to eating peameal bacon & are a bit confused on this. Peameal bacon WAS a STAPLE in my home growing up & I would always be present when it was bought for the family in the farmers' food markets, farmer's peameal bacon hot sandwich booth & in the grocery stores. (I also happen to be a "foodie", so I cannot in good conscience let you get a wrong impression.) "Peameal bacon" is actually pork strip loin that is pickled & then fully covered on the outside in coarsely ground yellow cornmeal. (Historically, it was covered in dried, ground peas which is where it got its name but was later changed to being rolled in corn.) THICK slices of peameal bacon fried on butter & then piled thickly, while still hot, in between a kaiser bun is HEAVEN! Hope this helps clear up Canadian "bacons" for you.

ketchup chips are too sweet

[@Nana_Reads]

We have regular bacon …. We call that back bacon

[@wildrose4411]

Don't feel bad about the chips Aussie Tash - many, many, many of we Canadians don't like Ketchup Chips or All Dressed Chips! They are both revolting!!

[@lyndawatson8312]

I am Canadian, and I hate ketchup chips.

If Canada WAS to take Over the World, We'd leave Australia the way You are, Your perfectly fine. No troubles.😮❤🎉😂

0:54 umm it’s actually not the snow plow driver to clear the snow from driveways just the streets or parking lots, your supposed to clear our own drive way, the issue is that the plow pushes the snow to the side back on the drive way

End of October Ontarians have to have their appointment in for a tire change-over. No all seasons tires here in winter do the true job, not out on country roads for sure. Oh and we don't live on ketchup. And our major bacon choice is streaky pork belly bacon. The "canadian bacon" was spun many years ago and peeps thought that was our main bacon. Nope, but corn/peameal bacon is delicious just not the main bacon. I don't know anyone that eats ketchup chips. Kids maybe?

[@colteck6345]

Winter is only a few weeks away here in Canada and it is only Oct.4th :) Tires normally get changed any time now \o/ just to be safe. All Canadian bacon is, is pork loin rolled in cornmeal and cut thin \o/ :) just for the record I have tried that Vegemite before and I really can't tell you on here exactly what I thought of it but I did not like it to say the least and would never do it again I promise :) as for our chips, ketchup wasn't too bad back in the 80's but now not so good. Give me a Dill pickle chip any day to make me happy :)) My brother always swore by Hickory Sticks back then too. Much warm love from up here in the cold tash :) o/ God bless your house hun :))

[@M_SC]

It’s absolutely not rolled in cornmeal. It’s back bacon. It’s not pork loin. Loin is on the leg.

In Quebec, we have to switch our tyres before December

[@nancyleo3987]

My sister lived in Australia for four years. She put wee jars if vegimite in our Christmas stockings. Absolutely the most vile thing I have ever tasted, so no aplogies needed Tash, for not liking ketchup chips. Lays are actually bet ter chips than Ruffles,by the way, the brand you tried. I hate ketchup chips too. My fav are salt and vinegar.

[@lyndawatson8312]

They can come out in November

[@drew8305]

Ok...we have bacon; it's pork belly. Ham is buttocks. We say back back bacon bacon.....cuz...... 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@Carrie-so3ro]

I LOVE my Canadian ketchup chips! - (& All Dressed & Dill Pickle...) It appears that you don't like the STRONG, TANGY flavours that Canadians (in general) seem to like, along with our (in general again) love for peanut butter everything. (I don't know if you like peanut butter stuff or not.) IF you try something Canadian & DON'T like it though - PLEASE be HONEST about it with us. We are NICE Canadians & WON'T beat you up for not having the same taste buds as us. TRULY. I personally prefer HONESTY, although in a POLITE way (being Canadian, after all) than a "nice" lie.

[@erinameliafletcher456]

Ruffle ketchup chips are horribly inferior, theirs you wanna try is alldressed, however for ketchup chips, stick to lays, none else like em.

[@derekhorlock1976]

Ketchup chips 🤢🤮 Marmite (vegmite)Mmmmm and I'm Canadian

[@susanlepage3591]

we call bacon bacon. canadian bacon is pemeal bacon.

[@civilWARcity]

we have all bacon thats just back bacon lol and ketchup lays are the only way...maybe doritos too

[@XantheHarley]

I don’t recognize that bacon

[@trevorgabriel2488]

We don't call that kind of bacon, bacon. It's back bacon, which is taken from a different section of the pig. Do you know what we call the long strips of bacon that is commonly referred to as bacon? We call it bacon. Why everybody refers to back bacon as canadian bacon baffles me.

You know that millenials are not teens now right? Like the oldest millenials are something like 44 and the youngest are nearly 30? I don't think you know what that therm means... The therm millenial define those who turned adult near the turn of the millenium.
