I remember when I went to France. Everywhere I went before I would say anything, I would be told...you're Canadian and I asked, how do you know? I was told Canadians are always smiling. Sweet.

[@Mr_Spock512]

In my case, it was my French Canadian (Québecois) accent that gave me away ... they kept calling us their cousins. LOL There's a lot of goodwill towards Canadians over there ... when I went to Spain, we were also very well received to my surprise. Tip: Always use the word "Bonjour" when entering a commerce over there, it's a sign of politeness and they will appreciate it.

[@j.frankparnell6195]

I'll never forget the time me and my daughter were in Canada for a hockey game. I was behind another car at a red light. The light turned green and the guy didn't go for like 30 seconds. I gave him a light tap on the horn. Next thing you know I see the flash of red and blue lights behind me. I think to myself what did I do wrong now? I pull over and the policemen asks me what I was doing at the light back there. I ask him what does he mean? He asks me about my horn? I inform him that the car ahead was not moving when the light turned green. He says "Well up here we're a little more polite than that. You need to watch yourself". After that I knew that Canadians take their politeness seriously.

[@therealberlinsylvie]

Great story! Reminds me of my brother, we’re Canucks BTW, driving a rented car in San Francisco. He stopped at the light when it turned yellow. The woman behind him leaned on the horn.... he couldn’t believe the rudeness. It’s obviously a cultural thing.

[@RafaCena41]

@@therealberlinsylvie So what are you supposed to do in Canada if the car in front of you doesn't move?

I call bullsh*t on this story. The gotten is absolutely to let someone know to move...or alert oblivious pedestrians not too keep jaywalking. Guess it depends on the province... but I've never seen or heard of police pulling you over for honking your horn. 🤔🤷‍♂️

You guys are fun! Way before my dad passed away, we used to go to Montreal for a few days to a week to see the Canadian Grand Prix. I loved the trips. Yes, even though we were US citizens, we brought our passports with us and that was in the 80s and 90s. Canada felt like a mix of Europe and a much more polite and dignified type of people than in the states. That's not saying that everyone and every place were like that. However, it was nice seeing a clean major city. The metro was impressive. It was quiet and clean and not scary. I loved old Montreal. It really felt like Europe. I have relatives in Toronto (the capital, hahaha!) and hope to go there someday, but Montreal will always be in my heart. In the meantime, it's fun to see you guys and to hear what you have to say, eh?

I understand your point about Tim Hortons. Some things are home grown, and people think about it as they might a family business. To have Wendy's buy it is kind of a slap in the face for all those years of community support. For us here in the States, a rough equivalent might be when Renault bought American Motors. It just felt wrong.

[@CanadiansReact]

Yeah exactly! For something that identifies with a culture so clearly it's almost a must that it remain owned by that country. -Adam

Guys, Love your channel. I came across a quick and accurate way to convert Celcius temperatures to Fahrenheit for your American viewers. Here 'tis: (1) Take the Celsius temp and double it. (2) Subtract 10% of that new number. (Loosely. You can round up or down & drop anything after the decimal.) (3) Add 32 (because you're going onto the Fahrenheit scale). For example: 18, doubled is 36, less 10% (3 or 4) is 33 or 32, plus 32 is 65 or 64 F. Because the human body can't tell the difference between 64 and 65 F., it shows that the Fahrenheit scale has too many degrees and the Celsius scale is more useful for most things.

Tim Horton's is owned by Burger King now, and they became a Canadian company on paper, and used the Timmies purchase to do that. So they are owned by an American corporation, but that corporation is Canadian on paper. There was a big backlash against BK in the USA for doing this. It was 2017 or 2018 IIRC. And Timmies used to also be owned by Wendy's in the 80's and 90's but were somehow able to go independent again (Canadian owned) until the BK takeover.

The same thing happened when Fairmont bought CP hotels. My mother worked at the Chateau Frontenac for many years and whenever she had to stay the weekend as director on duty, I'd go keep her company. We went there during a break between our sixth and seventh pandemic wave, and it was so bad it was heartbreaking. Service was terrible, redecoration was blingy and gaudy, and everything was outrageously expensive. I felt like the American owners were treating us like captive consumers rather than hotel guests. Like they're going "now that we've got them in one of our rooms, how can we fleece them?" Instead of "how can we give them a wonderful stay to justify the price of the room, so they want to come back and give us good reviews?" I feel like the American way is to make as much money off you as possible. Period. Companies like Tim's and Canadian Pacific hotels had a certain Canadian pride to them, representing our country and serving our communities. Americans don't care about that, on top of their capitalism being more extreme than ours, they're not Canadian, this isn't their country or communities.

When I was a college student in Vermont in 1988-1991, my friends and I occasional travelled to Quebec specifically to buy some great beer or to go to a bar, since the drinking age was 18 rather than 21. We would just tell the border agents we were visiting for the day. Never had a problem. Sometimes they wouldn't even ask for drivers' licenses; just asked where you lived.

I was so excited about 4 years ago we in Minnesota got some Tim Hortons. 3 locations in Minneapolis. But they struggled. And after about 2 years of trying, they all shut down at once.

[@rixx46]

Western Canadian here... I don't get the 'Timmy's' thing. DEFINATELY an Ontario thing - and the coffee is nothing special. But of course, if it's a Toronto thing it's presumed to be universally Canadian. All that said, Toronto IS a fantastic world-class city - far better theatre and museums than almost anywhere else, and the people are far friendlier than in Vancouver. If only they didn't have unbearable weather for 8 months of the year. TOO hot and TOO humid in the summer and fuck Ontario winters!

[@CanadiansReact]

You raise a lot of good points. haha - Adam

[@BlackEpyon]

There are certainly people who don't care for Timmies, but there's 9 of them, just in Chilliwack where I live, and they're always busy. I happen to like their coffee, but my presence is for Folgers Black Silk. To each their own, I say.

[@christianperspective9527]

I dont like Timmies coffee it has a nicotine taste to it but their sandwiches are awesome. Also Maritimes and Western Canada are not the same as Ontario. Quebec is also different. Even Western Canada has the flatlands and BC they are also different.

[@betsyduane3461]

I had to go through a whole ordeal once driving into Canada for business. I stupidly told them what I would be doing and for some reason they didn't like it. I waited an hour, drove to the same crossing to a different gate and told them I was visiting a friend, and they said have a good day.

[@junbh2]

There are a lot more rules about traveling for business. You might even need a visa.

Unless those Americans reside in border states. I'm from Michigan and got odd stares wearing shorts in Vegas in February. It was 50°F (10°C) and I'd flown out of a foot of snow back home.

Don't let them fool you. Most Americans see New York exactly as they described Toronto.

[@sweetsweetmeat]

NEVER under any circumstance call someone a "Goof" in Canada, if you say that to the wrong person you can expect to be curbstomped. "Goof" is jail/prison slang for an informer, snitch or sex offender.

[@junbh2]

Maybe, but it also just means someone silly. I think people will figure out what you mean by context.

[@amymalone3995]

And regarding the Dunkin Donuts.... I thought we had a lot in Michigan until I went to Boston. 😳😳😳

[@supposedly1-2]

i love that Canadian border patrol tv show they are not messing around! if you get caught with a pocket knife they will arrest you, which would be hard to remember bcz most of us carry one not for self defense but in case we need to cut something or need a screw driver. etc. even as a woman i have one in my purse. anyway they are not messing around!

[@jamesheberlein6238]

Well....Tim Horton did play with Buffalo Sabres for a spell. So, Timmy's is big in WNY also. Grand Island native and I row at St.Cats and Welland. I won CIRC at Mississauga 2x in my age category. Happy I found u! Just subscribed and got a USEh tee. Good day eh? 🤘💯‼️😎😂🤣

[@mantislake4141]

I've heard it called "Hortons" in Nova Scotia but it seems like it's "Tim's" in the other provinces and in Michigan it's "Timmy Hoes." Their coffee is okay but their donuts taste like chemicals.

​@@erissmith845 I'll pass. Tims or Tim Hortons is enough for me. Timmies sounds ridiculous.

[@junbh2]

Yeah, it varies a lot from province to province. Here we say Tim Horton's too. I had a friend once from Saskatchewan who called it 'Timmy Ho's' which I had never heard before and which sounded pretty weird to me.

[@connormartin6137]

There are a lot of Tim Hortons in New York, mainly western New York in cities like Buffalo where a lot Canadians live.

[@kathifoynm]

Same in Detroit MI

[@markharding6582]

Tim Horton was also a Buffalo Sabre. Therefore, TH was international. As far as money crossing the boarder because of TH, more US money crosses into CA than Canadian dollars crosses into the US. For example, Ford and Chevy produces pickup trucks in CA (and Dodge in Mexico). Those trucks alone will never make up for the the donut exchange.

[@kevinstruke1031]

Shush...our economy relies on stupid and greedy republicans.

[@christineb1464]

Just south of Lake Ontario here, I hope the boarder opens up soon, I miss Canada!
