Canadian Reacts to MISTAKES To Avoid When You Are in Australia

[@divid3d]

canadians and australians have very similar ideas about common courtesy and appropriate behaviour. you'd have absolutely no problem here.

[@luciebatt]

I’m an Aussie. You think playing music on the train is bad. I was once stuck on a train for 40 minutes and he played Tetris with the music on the entire time. I was humming that damn tune for several days.

[@sapphoculloden5215]

I work in contact centres. In one place, we were barred from using negative language. At all. Ever. (Was this appallingly difficult? Yes.) They had to offer an exemption for "no worries". Being Americans, they hadn't realised that it's not negative and it's a habit of which most Australians cannot be broken.

5:47 there are pretty tough laws on workplace bullying in Australia that make the employer liable. Larger organisations will have mandatory training on this.

As others have said, she is from Argentina (Buenos Aires I think, from memory) - she mentioned it in another of her videos.

[@kevo6190]

I'm an Aussie Chef and have worked with plenty of Canadians over the years and always got on well and I class most of them as genuine mates! Sorry for sending your beautifully polite countrymen home swearing like f*ckn Shearers though..🤣🇦🇺🇨🇦👍

[@v.b6028]

Yes! I hate it when people play their music on public transport too. That and when they have a long phone chat on the mobile phone and think you want to hear the conversation. Can’t stand that.

[@jacquimott386]

I think the reason you find these soooo obvious, is because Canadians probably have the most similar culture to us

[@heatherharvey3129]

Indigenous Australians usually don't make eye contact as direct eye contact is regarded as disrespectful. It is still a source of misunderstanding between indigenous and other Australians who are from different backgrounds.

[@briangill4000]

Also have a soft handshake...if at all. It is not a sign of weakness, more a sign of respect.

[@bjbolger]

You'll fit right in here, Mace. Especially the bit about burning in hell if you play music (from a phone with crap sound to boot!) on public transport! The eye contact thing is probably a thing, when I think about it. I know if someone's not making direct eye contact with me in a conversation, even someone I've just met, it doesn't give me a good feeling.

[@peterlinsley4287]

I've always thought of Australia and Canada as being very close in culturally as we're both former British colonies who were colonised within 200 years of each other, got independence very close to each other. The only difference is that you have the French cultural aspect. That we didn't as the French rocked up not long after the British got here and left as the British were a war with them.

[@robby1816]

Loud music in public places, always make me think of Star Trek IV, the bus scene.

Totally agree with your views on music played on public transport.

6:31 We have an Islander lady that does the cleaning and she was asking about a workmates's car. It is black. I said it is a black beetle. It is the colour and she understands. The Islanders are cool. She is always hitting me up for free vegetables for her cook ups. I have to get in on these cook ups they sound good. Cool and easy going yep that sums it up.

[@lffit]

I am from the generation mate, when cobber could also be used, when July the Ist was never said as July1!

[@tharsthat]

7:12 That is where you drop key words to test the grape vine. One I used years ago was I got to drinking Conyak. That was my key word and I herd it I knew who was talking to who.

[@pricklyprospector1208]

🤣😂You've forgotten your rebellious youth!! Used to carry a "beat box" on Melb metro rail and city loop on weekends, just to piss off the old farts!! lol. (Now I'm an old fart I hear ya!)

[@tharsthat]

2:40 City people do stand too close. Where I am from a regional town we stand back. In the City when a girl talks to me I think she is coming on to me. Mixed signals. If you tel them you are from up North then they speak slower. By the way a few Canadian ladies have been stealing Aussie blokes and taking them back home. Send more over...

[@roderickdunn3464]

Personal space is a product of the population density. People from crowded places tolerate less personal space. People from low density places expect more space. Years ago when dealing with a fellow from Japan, he picked up that I grew up in the country because of my tendency to expect extra space.

[@pricklyprospector1208]

Common courtesy and it's brother Common sense, aren't as Common as they once were!😎 (ps, Forgot about the missing sibling, Common knowledge!)

[@TheSamleigh]

From Argentina I think? She does seem very nice.

[@ericwilliams8504]

I love your vids.... your subject and style just clicks with me... cheers🍻 As a dog owner I've had times where you just can't pick it up... like when they eat something that doesn't agree with them... it's an impossible task sometimes.... I don't carry a spoon with me😅 Or the time when I took my dog for a swim (on a dog beach) and she proceeded to shit whilst in the surf.... like near other people..... then what you goanna do???😅😅

[@trevorcook4439]

The rubbish and litter thing is very noticeable here in Australia now. We used to have a lot of public bins that have slowly disappeared and littering went up. So not condoning poor behaviour but the government has a hand in its cause by removing public bins.

19:23 When listening for Spanish you have to listen to the E they add and extra E to everything.

[@tharsthat]

9:30 Family it is fine. Just don't go to anyones house or you might not be warmly welcomed.

[@tharsthat]

I always said to my nephews and neices if you need a safe house when being bullied drop in. 24/ 7 they will be safe here.

[@PBMS123]

How many times are you going to common a single video? Dude.... I spot 8 comments, all from you.... Plus your reply to your own comment here, thats 9. Just edit your comment, and put it all in 1. You make 1/3 of all the comments currently.

[@tharsthat]

11:37 South American. I think Spanish or Portuguese. At work the South Aficans started talking Africans and another bloke just shouted jibberish then they stopped. Speak English you C's. I had a Maltese Girlfriend and at the parties they speak Maltese. I know a bit of Italian but I could not enter the conversation they are so fast I felt left out. When they speak English they are slow because the mind has to second guess. I don't hate it because I would know if they are talking about me.

[@tintooki]

Martina is originally from Argentina.

[@TheSamleigh]

Check out the fines for littering here - dont know what it is these days but tinitially it was hundreds of $ if caught.

[@Davo-i1s]

I know y=that she is from South America I think it maybe Argentina she does actually mention it in other videos but I cant remember the country..

[@wendy5290]

No sweat pet is not as common but still used!

[@julesmarwell8023]

an addition to NO WORRIES> NO WUCKING FORRIES. i:LL let you work it out

[@Maxiakt]

Lol we definitely do haggle 😂

[@tharsthat]

16:37 If you were nasty then Grandma would sort you. IF you were nasty my Mother would sort you. You learn to be polite from a young age. The people down the street would sort you out. You behaved. The neighbour gave you a flogging for being a sh*t he told your Father then you got another flogging. The lesson is don't be a sh*t.

[@Breetai_SDF-1]

I have heard her say she's Spanish and I think she said she's Argentinian.

I'm American and these all seem like common sense and common courtesy to me.

'As long as you know they are jokes'.... the excuse people make for being racist, misogynistic, bigoted etc..... whilst saying what they really want to say.... jokes are jokes and made by comedians..... not your family members, friends or co-workers with their passive/aggressive agendas....

[@geofftottenperthcoys9944]

So ONLY comedians can make a joke? A joke is a joke no matter what, not being "selective" at all.

[@noone6559]

@@geofftottenperthcoys9944 nah mate... you know one of the first jokes I heard in the 70's when I was a kid in Australia? Why do black people have paler palms? Because they were leaning up against cop cars when God spray painted them. No a joke is not just a joke when it comes from ignorant people. There are edgy comedians but they also have selective audiences.

[@wendy5290]

If you are treated super politely in Australia & no one ever teases you, it means you're not liked. Teasing is done in good fun & to show you're accepted. There's a huge difference between good natured teasing and being verbally abused. 8:58

[@andymills2985]

The secret is to look at peoples mouth when theyre talking

[@andymills2985]

And you got a pretty good aussie accent 10/10 no drama

[@dodge59]

i always turn up unannounced, and no one complains

[@DUBTMAC]

Nice.

[@skullandcrossbones65]

G'day Australia has a high migrant population. That results in lots of people being able to steak more than 1 language. English is what everyone needs to speak so they don't get left out.

[@Sinbad_Bay]

I took all my social norms from the red green show.

[@shane35188]

Hey mate I don’t know where this girl has lived her whole life because not one of these points has anything with Australia I was born here in 1988 but honestly this video Gould be made about anywhere in the world if you think about it . The majority of Aussies always say about life and living to work but it’s different here because we like to work to live

[@PBMS123]

You'd be surprised.

[@muddymaker3721]

Canadians ARE Australians just with an American accent👀

[@andymills2985]

I say sorry what was that?

I’m partial to “pardon me” but I use sorry? As well lol

She just said "I'm not going to generalize but in general". Lost me right there.

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

You going off about a young punk with loud music. That's not very Canadian of you. After all Canadians are meant to be so nice and polite. 😂

[@DUBTMAC]

I probably wouldn’t do anything in real life. Other than thinking to myself “this persons a real d*ckhead”

[@tharsthat]

4:03 I was talking to a bloke and he was not listening so I said I drank a bottle of rum and spewed and shit myself. Next he turned and said really? Nah I just thought you wern't listening. Just chuck it in.

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

I don't particularly like what this woman says as it's not really the case in the subjects she chooses. It's generally just common sense or knowledge. She generalises just on her opinions and not really the facts.
