COTW: Asking Americans About Canadians

[@manofthesnails]

Things I want America to know about us: 1. We do not say "eh" after EVERY sentence. 2. We do not bathe in maple syrup. (Though we would if we could.) 3. We actually DO have a military and it actually IS a decent military. 4. We like beavers for the same reason you like the declaration of independence. (Believe it or not, beavers play a BIG role in Canadian history.) 5. We think you guys are idiots.

[@erickatremblay2927]

so true

[@nightcore5800]

Said everything I was thinking.

[@bobbydouche9821]

why this debate i mean... canadians, americans why do we always fight like this one another... personally i think that canada and america are like brothers, they love one each other but they just don't want to admit it. so they bullshit each other because of that... this is sad am a canadian French though and ive been to america and i think that these two country are equaly great!! there is a lot of nice people in canada yes and i know that. we are nice but its the same thing in america! there is a LOT of nice people too! i know that my comment won't change anyting but please just try to open up your mind and see more than just stereotypes we live closely since long ago so its maybe time to grow up...

[@bobbydouche9821]

***** yes i agree with you

[@ThePenguinExpress]

***** Your point? Theres still 115m of us who arent.

[@aranshergill16]

1. One place where you got dry burgers and french fries doesn't mean all of Canada has dry food. 2. We don't eat vinegar on everything. 3. We don't say bag like beg. I've only heard someone saying beg instead of bag from my American cousins. 4. We don't say aboot unless we're around Americans. It's kind of an inside joke so sorry for giving it away fellow Canadians. 5. Sadly we don't live in igloos. 5. "Canadian bacon" is actually back bacon. It looks kind of like ham. I don't know why in America they call it Canadian bacon when in it is British. In Canada bacon is referred to as the same bacon American's refer it to and back bacon is referred to Canadian bacon. So no, it is not "our" bacon. 6. Canada was not named from picking letters out of a bag. The name originated from the word Saint-Lawrence Iroquoian word "Kanata" which means village, settlement, or land. 7. We don't all speak French. Quebecers (or Quebeckers) speak French and then some others around Canada. Sorry about all of this. I know you put a disclaimer but this is just for people who actually believe in these stereotypes. Sorry again.

[@johnthom2910]

PS; In Canada, there's no such thing as Canadian bacon; its just bacon. What you guys call Canadian bacon, we call a slice of ham.

[@12icey34]

i was thinking the same thing lol

[@misterprickly]

It's like Brazil nuts or Chinese food... In those countries their just called "nuts" and "food".

[@PowerStartGroup]

What American call "Canadian bacon" is actually what most Canadians (at least around Toronto) call "Back bacon". Regular bacon is and always has been just bacon, just like in the States.

[@Bri3Tree]

"Name all the Canadian provinces." "Northwest Territories?" LOL

[@david24821]

in 55 yrs i have never heard any Canadian say ..aboot..???

[@azulaquaza4916]

stephen storey i have

[@david24821]

the most interesting rock to ever live thats cool. i am Canadian. have been for 56 years.I guess i'm wrong.

[@anncokafor]

stephen storey Canadians pronounce about "a-boat" but to our American ears it sounds like "aboot."

[@Dorianin1]

My cousins always called me on the 'aboot' thing...I've never heard it, but they swear.

[@david24821]

really?.I have American relatives, and when they say about I hear about. I never knew that we sound funny.But aboot sounds far fetched .

[@savagemadness77]

There are seven distinct Canadian accents..and I am not talking about the French ....we don't all say abooot

[@jessieliu7036]

I'm a Chinese live in Canada , I've been to PEI , Ontario ,and Manitoba . I was lived in different city ,but I've never heard people said “aboot" ! Even if the foreigner like me !

[@FuDgEBuBbLeZ]

It's mainly in Newfoundland.

[@stonerminmcjoe]

FuDgEBuBbLeZ No dooot aboot it!

[@Nlew182]

FuDgEBuBbLeZ Im from Newfoundland and we don't say "aboot" aha people from Newfoundland actually have a slight Irish accent depending on where, so we say "about" but pronounce the t at the end like someone from Ireland would do.

[@stonerminmcjoe]

Neely Lewis I love newphies!! Lol I'm from New Brunswick, did ya'll get hit by the hurricane over there too?? But by the way, some older guys I know do say "about" kinda funny, but its mostly like the hillbilly dudes with only half their teeth left..

[@Nlew182]

stonerminmcjoe Yeah, only for like a few hours though! I've actually been to New Brunswick before too aha and you have no idea how much I'm laughing right now! "hillbilly dudes" :')

[@makeupandbeautyish]

I burst out laughing when that guy said he went to band camp on victoria lisland! Lol!

[@tommymorin7779]

Canada was named from the Huron-Iroquois word for village, "Kanata"

[@davido.1233]

the word directly translates as"Village", as taken from the Heritage minutes videos

[@JaMaAuWright]

I think the cat knew more about us than the rest of them.

[@Victoria-tn7ds]

We call bacon bacon, not ham, I would like to know who started that completely false stereotype

[@mattnielsen14]

rebecca flintstone its like they think if we order bacon from tim hortons we'll get ham on our goddamn bagel lol

[@betteryoubetter]

rebecca flintstone I feel sorry allot of american. Especially some of the dolts in this video. Many nice people in the States, but lets face it.That George W guy messed up the entire world, and the only way that was possible was from the support of roughly 50% of the country which unfortunately is pretty ignorant. Oh well! Yaaaaa! Canada!

[@fakeginger3333]

I think it was tv shows.

[@kristent1090]

ik right I hate that people think that and when they come there like ****

[@fakeginger3333]

agreed

[@purplewaffles4]

every time i hear a mean joke about canadians i get my fellings checked out in a hostpital.. FOR FREE!!

[@ElleHartStrings]

Most of this was like whatever they don't know anything about Canada or just scared to admit how awesome we are. BUT NO ONE SAYS ABOOT WE SAY ABOUT LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE

[@MooyakAttack]

Yeah, but how do you say "sorry"?

[@ElleHartStrings]

***** we say "sorry" same way Americans do. Though probably more frequently.

[@MooyakAttack]

Oh, sorry.

[@ethang656]

Exactly we don't even say it like that

[@MooyakAttack]

I said I was sorry OK!?

[@brooklynmaureen9021]

"I went to band camp in Canada, I love it" - Makes me happy "Victoria Island" - Faith lost. *face palm*

[@imisstoronto3121]

we do not say 'aboot'. Where in the $#$$ did that come from? I've lived here all my life, and I hear Americans say we say 'aboot'. NO.

[@ScotianTiez]

They do in NFLD

[@noahnaugler7611]

+ScotianTiez yeah funny that, if there is a weird stereotype of Canada, its either Quebec or Newfoundland

[@BolognaBob69]

+Noah Naugler very true

[@BolognaBob69]

+Noah Naugler lot of Cape Brenton in there if ya think about it

[@imisstoronto3121]

Shawn Fisher possibly I just don't think a lot of these visitors actually WENT to Cape Breton.

[@jakeginter4115]

This is a very sad on the U.S. education system and the fact that we keep trying to follow their lead makes my blood boil.

[@fortuitousfangirl5551]

Victoria Island? I think they mean Vancouver Island

[@mikefrapporti7183]

The name Canada didn't come from random selection it came from the native river of Caanada, pronounced caanaadaa and was created 120 years before USA

[@bakerboysdist.7559]

im canadian and ilve literally never met ANYONE who says aboot...

[@ncaines9298]

"They live in igloos"

[@maxtamir5029]

Not all of us speak French, but some do. I'm not a French Canadian but I am canadian and I do speak French. With a English accent :P

[@daniellelamb9678]

I live in Canada and no one says "aboot" here

[@FionnualaMcMahon]

I'm Canadian and this wasn't as bad as I thought. I grew up in Fort Frances, Ontario/International Falls, Minnesota. A boot is something I wear on my foot in the winter (hopefully one for each foot!). Je ne parle pas francais, and while I understand their desire and right to keep their culture if I had a chance to learn a second language now, Mandarin would be my first choice. Yes we say "eh" sometimes, would you prefer "huh" or "hmmm"? Canada is a Huron-Iroquois word, it was not picked out of a bag of letters! We know what continent we live on, America, and the name of our country. But this was not as bad as I thought and it sounds like a lot of us on both sides of the border dislike the French and that's too bad because I feel they belong in my country.

[@chavamara]

***** I think it's mostly just some frustration about Quebec, what with some of its population wanting to separate from the rest of the country. (Plus, there might be some residual frustration regarding the French classes we have to take in school :S) Has very little to do with the actual French. Please! Come join us! We'd love to have you, I'm sure!

[@nitropost]

***** Faut pas s'en faire Edouard,le Canada est une des perles en ce qui concerne la qualité de vie. Et oui, certains anglos sont d'une stupidité flagrante et devine quoi, autant de francos le sont. Bof, vois tu, la séparation voulu par une génération grisonnante n'as pas la faveur des jeunes internautes mondialisés, et oui, chavamara t'invite and me to mon ami........un Québec fort dans un Canada uni.

[@tigrisrex14]

I just want to know where the "aboot" thing came from. And what the hell is Canadian bacon?

[@JN-Bellicose]

Yes, because one burger is countrywide recipe. Also, completely lost all credibility when he used the words "super duper."

[@Victoria-rf3ts]

WE DONT SAY "OOT AND ABOOT"

[@ThePennyPincher]

Oh, reellaax! The girl in this did a pretty good job! I dated an American Army nurse in Fort Lewis, WA., and another pretty American girl from Illinois (not at the same time). They were both a lot of fun, and adventurous, and smart. The girl from Illinois came to Ottawa to visit. She thought the Chateau Laurier (a fancy hotel in Ottawa) was where the queen lived. I was on the pavement splitting a stitch laughing! Its all good!

[@tysonbell11]

"canadian bacon is ham, its not even real bacon"

[@lachaineamimi8442]

I'm a Canadiens and I never saw a moos and I hate winter and I do not think there is a place with polar bear here I never saw a igloo of my life

[@stubee3924]

+La chaîne a mimi Don't get out much do you!

[@IMSITTINGONACHAIR]

how does having ice have to do with a dry burger

[@1983MUD]

It's OK, we don't like americans much either, but we'll still be nice to you ;)

[@TheThacylla]

I live in Canada and I'm a Brazilian and never heard a Canadian say about like aboot though.

[@alvaroalas2450]

was the old guy serious he doesn't like canadians because some speak french? i'm assuming he voted for donald trump?

[@swerveon]

Canadian here. Funny video. So nice to see young Americans being so friendly towards your neighbours to the north :)

[@junglejoecvideogates9705]

We are very friendly people and not all of Canada is that cold. I live in a part of Canada where it rarely snows in the winter and we grow lots of palm trees. Watch my videos and you will see. Just search YT for Tropics of Canada. Cheers

[@geckogirl9779]

"Oh yeah, I went to Victoria Island" Shame...

[@greghufton6561]

The only Canadians that I've heard say aboot are in Newfoundland.

[@gooseygoose604]

I don't think ive heard any canadian say "aboot" but I can tell the diffrence between the canadian "about" and the american about. canadians speak the word a bit slower and really pronounce the o and u.where americans kind of bunch the letters together faster. I don't say eh ever but I'd be lying if I said I dont hear it on a daily bases. Ive heard a lot of americans say "eh" as well. but it's far more common in canada.

[@dullpickles4983]

Hey I don't say aboot

[@o0supernaturalgurl0o]

this is hilarious, i am canadian proud to be i can tell that most of the reponses are just people kidding around and having fun xD but id like to point out that im from british columbia and i say "ABOUT" just like you!!!!! x3

[@PrettyGirlTomBoy23]

I'm Canadian and have memorized the 50 states song.....

[@TheMikejonez]

I could name the 50 states and most of their capitals. And I'm Canadian. But I lcve geography. I could do it jut aboot anywhere lol

[@ThePenguinExpress]

Congrats, most americans can. Actually, thats good considering you dont even live in america

[@PrettyGirlTomBoy23]

Thanks. I heard it on ellen a few years ago and just kind of memorized it like the abc's

[@witchyvibes1235]

And it is Vancouver iland

[@sweetfeat1]

"Some of them speak French, which means I'd instantly not like them," Hey you sound like a Canadian already buddy we all got that in common.

[@sweetfeat1]

Germain St-Pierre Why so mad dude? You're the reason people don't like Quebecers, most people from Quebec will agree that french people are assholes...

[@sweetfeat1]

Germain St-Pierre And your swear words are dumb how am I supposed to eat a shit chalice, tabbbernaaakk

[@CreepyNeighbor666]

Well, I speak 2 languages, how many do you speak? Why would me being French make me instantly unlikable? You should move to the US, you'd fit in perfectly in the states of hate.

[@sweetfeat1]

The amount of Douchebags who're French outweigh those who're English.. just how she goes, C'est la vie

[@CreepyNeighbor666]

1st of all I'm not from Quebec. People from Montreal are assholes but people from rural towns are as pleasant as any English-speaking towns. I say Montreal but it might as well be Toronto, they're assholes too, nothing to do with the language they speak. It's mostly the sense of entitlement they have.

[@toshley6192]

I blame South Park for the "aboot" steriotype

[@ditrinipersian901]

FACT: THE MAJORITY OF CANADIANS DO NOT SPEAK FRENCH. WE DO NOT SAY ABOoooooooT OKAYYYYYY WE SAY 'EH' WE LIVE IN HOUSES AND APARTMENTS, NOT IGLOOS, SOME INUIT NORTHERN PEOPLES MAY.... WE DON'T ALL LIKE POUTINE OUR ACCENT IS QUITE SIMILAR TO THE AMERICAN ACCENT WE ADD 'U' TO COLOR AND FAVORITE CAUSE WE'RE PHONETIC LIKE THAT WE HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR RACISM, HAVE THE MOST MULTICULTURAL CITY IN THE WORLD, AND YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT WE ARE EXTREMELY OPEN MINDED, FRIENDLY, BEAUTIFUL, 2ND LARGEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AND WE FUCKING ROCKKKK GO CANADA GOOOOOOO OH AND DID I MENTION THE FREEEEEEE HEALTH CAREEE?

[@ariannadelacour]

Plus, we all don't know Justin Bieber - and don't go polar bear hunting with him on our moose and don't live in the same igloo village as him....(Yes, I was actually asked this)...

[@eyespy6677]

I have never said eh!

[@highdelta3561]

What type of propaganda is this?

[@callybea]

Our bacon is just like your bacon

[@juliannamorris1321]

Our bacon isn't ham We don't say aboot Our food is delicious We don't said ehhh all the time We are nice Most of this stuff is not true

[@AdamsamStudios]

Also I think it is sad that one girl thought Canada was named by pulling letters out of a hat xD Just sad!

[@rpg31415]

Canadians also made basketball.

[@firebirdhome]

Well this Canadian enjoyed your video :D I see a few bad attitude Canadians leaving messages here. To them, I have to say lighten up, this was just a fun video. And normal non-anal Canadians enjoy our stereo types. Nobody mentioned Mounties?! Others that are us: maple syrup, Eh?, snow, hockey, moose burgers, easy going, French, beer, toques, Tim Hortons.... etc....

[@jacobhood6105]

"Canadian bacon is ham, not real bacon" Um, you are aware that bacon comes from the pig, and so does ham. right?

[@Jayzolo]

"Victoria Island"? So close...

[@fireblazer6661]

As a Canadian... Many don't speak French...We don't eat vinegar on everything... or much at all... We don't live in igloos... We don't say "aboot"... Tim Hortons sucks... We AREN'T stupid (unlike how the world perceives Americans as a generalization)... I'll admit that academically many Rural Canadians may "come off as" a bit less intelligent. Not many of us say "ay", no one says "eh". We don't put maple syrup on everything... and syrup isn't a big deal... I could live without it...MANY Canadians rather dislike Toronto... and Justin Bieber...

[@bastardacid7313]

DON'T YOU EVER LET ME HEAR YOU SAY TIM HORTONS SUCKS. 4X4 WITH 3 EXPRESSO SHOTS IS ADHD HEAVEN

[@fireblazer6661]

TIM HORTONS SUCKS... suck it up butter cup. I worked there for a long time. You don't know the shit that goes on. Lady who trained me to bake the donuts and stuff... would drop them on the FILTHY floor out back as she was putting them in the oven... then pick them up and say "oh it's okay, the oven will burn the dirt off"... fucking disgusting... I could tell you stories all day long about your beloved fucking Tim Horton's that would make you want to vomit. I've seen some coworkers do some disgusting things... really disgusting things. I'd rather make my own instant coffee, or use my French Press with Grinds... because after working in a restaurant, and at Tims and some other places similar... gross... I don't eat out virtually at all now... one time at this kitchen I worked at, someone didn't notice there was muscles in the sink and dumped a ton of soap in there to do dishes... like intense stuff to clean pots/pans... the Chef was like... shit we can't throw these... the owners will flip over the losses... so he just... rinsed them... and sold them to customers... at insanely high prices no less

[@darkcorpse6162]

BastardAcid nice

[@screwyou9133]

I actually kind of like Tim Hortons XD but it's my opinion. It's ok if you don't like it :)

[@gavinsmith9871]

i like Tims...

[@Blacklight8001]

im canadian and i think this video was offencive! (At least what some said) and we dont pronounce it aboot! That was only in South Park!!! We still say it about! And our education system is one of the best TOP NOTCH intelagence!

[@johnthom2910]

Cute. But OMG.... I think we need to send one Canadian to every high school in the USA...lol. Kinda funny though that a lot of Canadians (myself included) can in fact name all 50 states but they can't manage to name 10 provinces. Anyway..a cute...and somewhat tragic video.

[@TheIceman567]

Dude what's your problem with the United States? I mean no country is perfect i know. I travel all over Europe because i lived there and I've been to Canada. Blaming a whole nation for what people write on youtube is just stupid. You seem to for get it's the US that has to defend Canada if she's ever attacked.

[@johnthom2910]

TheIceman567 Oh really? I gotta waste my night explaining to you my peeves about the US of A? I'm trying to watch the hockey game. You really wanna go down that road?

[@stevefrench4139]

TheIceman567 Not only the US numb nuts, Canada is part of the United Nations, therefore it guaranteed that some countries will also defend Canada. ...and what's the problem with defending Canada anyways? How many times do we need to scratch your back before you scratch ours?

[@TheIceman567]

steve french Well when you guy's do something then let us know. But the UN really? Most of the UN is NATO countries. Your military is American made weapons.

[@johnthom2910]

TheIceman567 Psst; Canada uses the C-7, a variant of the AR-15. It's manufactured by Colt Canada. Oh, and the LAV's the US military uses, (and a number of other nations including Canada) use were and are designed and manufactured in Canada. "Well when you guy's do something then let us know." Do you mean like WW1 (you guys were 3 years late) and WW2? (you guys were 2 years late) "Most of the UN is NATO countries." There are 193 countries in the United Nations. There are 28 countries in NATO. You really gonna keep this going?

[@relicgameing3]

lived in canada all my life never heard anyone say aboot and its called peameal bacon not canadian bacon

[@JennHrd]

Hahaha, I love it when Americans make fun of Canadian food. They don't realize how over 30% of American citizens are overweight, when less than 20% of Canadians are overweight. Yes, our food might not be as "amazing," but it's because we don't add the sugar, fat and salt you guys do in order to love it........................ I miss the commercial a few years ago showing how much salt was put in Campbells soup and how, yes, right away Canada accepted them decreasing it but, as usual, Americans would not accept it not tasting as good and wanting to gain more weight so Campbells had to put all the shit back in! (No wonder how, since I have been to Dallas, Georgia, and North Carolina, I always just laugh my ass off at how obese the men are from the southern USA)

[@teka2903]

this is me and i live in Canada it tastes excellent cause this is their food some Canadians speak french and English and others speak only English.

[@vi_fizz3306]

I wonder if that guy has tried poutine. well... clearly not.

[@mattnielsen14]

5:52 dude says victoria island..........fucking vancouver island lol

[@theconcertsite]

I don't usually comment when it come's to comparing America to Canada so this a Canadian's take on American's--> I can name all 50 state's, their capital's and when it comes to the metric system I know how to translate it,I don't need to google it. Our school system taught us this by grade 6.I know the lyric's to your national anthem which I hear every time I watch a hockey game or any other American sports team play'n against a Canadian team.I can name your all your president's since John F Kennedy was assassinated Nov 22nd 1963.We rarely say eh or aboot,,we like bacon but who doesn't? We know much more about America then some American's do. It's about time America realizes that Canada is one of the best countries on this planet to live in,raise your kid's along with our beautiful land and river's to admire. I can write a book about the difference's of our countries but I'm not gonna waste my time educating American's when they should of already been taught all of this when they went to school.,BTW,I'm not ant-America,I just speak my mind about what I've learned from my American friends.Peace out and do some reading,it's very important to be educated nowadaze. lol

[@vivianthepotato8857]

+Steve D Canadians do say eh. The frequency of use depends not only on the individual, but also geographic distribution and socio-economic factors. We don't "rarely" say aboot. We never say aboot. We say about, but our pronunciation, which is closer to a boat than aboot, varies in strength from region to region, and sounds to Americans like "aboot".

[@kjnguyen32]

umm too long wat did u say?

[@kjnguyen32]

+Vivian The Potato I dont say eh

[@theconcertsite]

KJ Nguyen All I'm say'n is this Canadian knows more about North America then the average American does.As for Vivian The Potato,your a funny kid.Thx fer da laugh.

[@darrenbrisson4336]

most of us hate the cold and winter but we have the best bacon on the planet everybody knows that and the best coffee yes even better then starbucks tim hortons is better, tell my buddy gaetan you don't like him because he speaks french he'd rearange your face it'd be a ugly sight.most americans are good people and we do get along when we get together we have a lot of the same interests

We don't say "Eh" all the time, But hell if we did, Its still better than saying "Huh" and I agree, Canadian women are so much hotter than american women, Proud to be Canadian!! Eh?

[@metaljunkie8974]

joe bob Its not that American are stupid, Its more the fact that they don't know anything about other Nationalities, They fuckin think we live in Igloo's, And that we've only had Electricity since the 80's!!! That is pretty fucking dumb if you ask me and trust me when I say!!! I'm actually kinda dumb myself But I Don't think that an American stereotype is fact!!! That takes a special kind of stupid!!!!!

[@SorestScorch]

MetalJunkie89 Not to mention teens dropping out of school is common in both countries not strictly the USA.

[@metaljunkie8974]

That is true!!

[@Indicaprince]

That was just painful to watch. I'm going back to my igloo...

[@avnas90]

For one your talking to teenagers who are notorious for not knowing shit (expect some...but you really didn't seem to talk to any of those) and a lot of people have biases based off of stories they heard growing up and how the Media portrays Canadians. As a Canadian I can't be angry at them because they are just ignorant about their northern nieghbours. But just to let you Americans know, we really aren't any different then you. Oh and here are some facts about Canada.... 1. The name of our country came from a mistake that occurred between a Native tribe and European explorers. The Europeans asked the Native people what the name of the land was called, the Natives responded with a word that's close to how 'Canada' is spelt, but the Native thought the Europeans were asking were their village was. Canada in means 'Village'. 2. The beaver is the national symbol of Canada because of how big the fur trade was when the french and English were settling Canada, before it really became Canada. And also because the beaver was the main animal that they hunted for during the fur trade because back in England it was used to make top-hat's. 3. Lets clear up a myth. Canada isn't cold all year round. Actually were I live (born and raised) in Saskatchewan our summer are hot, the highest we got this summer was 39c (not sure what that is in F). And in the winter time coldest was -40c in February. 4. We don't all love winter weather. Actually we complain about the cold just as much as you do, we just deal with it better because most of our year consists of snow. 6 to 8 months a year of snow actually! Heavy and lots of snow... 5. Hockey, yes was invented in Canada, but its not our only national game. Lacrosse is the main one, because of England's influence in our forming as a independent country. But Football here is probably the game that has the most hype around it now-a-days. I could name more but I actually got to head off to work....so hope that cleared up some nonsense for you American! :P

[@radicalroger2008]

39c = 102.2f -40c = -40f

[@radarplotextractor3168]

Sorry Amy, the only reason Football is the big hype in Saskatchewan is it's the only proffessional team you have, and they have the same colors as a John Deere tractor. :-)

[@avnas90]

Radar Plot Extractor Do you live in Saskatchewan? Because if not then you are making assumptions and that is never a good thing to do. I know many people who enjoy football, and who don't just watch Rough Rider games but other teams across Canada as well as teams from the US too. And by the way the Rough Rider colors are green and white, not green and yellow like the John Deer Trackers. And thanks for stereotyping prairie people, real mature of you....

[@radarplotextractor3168]

Amy Tokaruk Amy, Google "Saskatchewan Rough Rider Combine and Tractor Hats" nuf said.....

[@avnas90]

Not really...There is no collation between the two, but one silly picture of a tractor with the Rough Rider logo on it.... That doesn't make if fact. And again I ask you are you from Saskatchewan? Because if not you wouldn't know about things like this.

[@ryanmacdonald6952]

When you come to Canada, you don't get a burger and fries, you get poutine, come on now.

[@sussexyakuzaclan7944]

the whole aboot thing is bullshit

[@vivianthepotato8857]

+Sussex Yakuza Clan No, it's not. One must keep in mind the perspective of the listener and not just say "we don't say that". In most English-speaking countries, people pronounce ow and ou diphthongs the same. However, in Scotland as well as in Canada, where it is an example of Canadian raising, they are pronounced differently. For example, when people in other countries say about, what we say is closer to a boat, but to Americans it sounds like aboot.

+Vivian Potato Nah, I'm always being told by Americans that I don't sound Canadian because I say 'about' the same way they do, they have never actually heard anyone say 'aboot', just heard the stereotype. It's a misconception, and it's really annoying having someone from another country tell you how you're supposed to pronounce your words. Apart from the deep south, we sound literally the same. I can't believe you linked the Scottish accent and the Canadian accent together, they are completely different, unless you're a newfie, that accent is in a league of it's own.

[@canuckz]

+Vivian The Potato I think the more correct spelling would be "abewt" with the T not always enunciated.

[@kaz576]

+Vivian The Potato Get a grip EH!!! And please, would you mind changing the spelling of your online name. Potato is the American spelling where Potatoe is the Canadian spelling. Don't you think it's ABOUT time you got it right?

[@juliantorre2306]

I honestly this a southerner accent is way worse than any Canadian way of pronouncing words

[@TheCrouchingWombats]

As an American I would appreciate it if you do not use the "r-word." Thank you. Sincerely, A Crouching Wombat

[@ThePajamas13]

That was kind of sad but honestly pretty expected...

[@carolineclarke3486]

4:36 genius, Nova Scotia is a province and North-West Territories is not a province, it's a territory, and FYI we don't put vinegar on everything... and we don't just play hockey! WE DON'T ALL SPEAK FRENCH!

[@erickatremblay2927]

no we don't put vinegar on everything, just some deep fried stuff. Contrary to popular belief, hockey isn't the national sport and some people have other things to do. Most of us have been taught a few words in french through school but that's about it.

[@NiggaTigga94]

Great video, but Canada will have the last laugh when U.S.A's Economy goes to shit.....before theirs goes down momentarily. And IGLOOS?! Come on guys, with Global Warming and all that shit, it's kinda hard to live in one nowadays.

[@connormarcus9429]

i live in victoria BC canada and they know nothing about us

[@daniellelamb9678]

I'm in Ontario

[@emordnilap4747]

Lol, as a Canadian I laughed so hard at this video. Here are a some of the reasons: 1 hockey is popular, but we don't all like it, 2 we almost never say eh, but it is occasionally used as a substitute for hey, 3 Where I live the temperature can go from -35 C(-31 F) in winter to 40 C (104 F) in summer, I've never met anyone who can build an igloo, 4 There are stupid people anywhere you go, and we're all ignorant about some things but on average Canadians score higher many tests than Americans, 5 We pronounce most things like Americans, the only exception I can think of is the letter z (We say ZED not ZEE) and our accent's very from region to region. The stereotypical Canadian accent is a Newfoundland accent, mine is the same as most of the people in this video. 6 Please tell me that teacher was kidding when he said we move slower because of the cold.....the idea that a man that believes that has a job as an educator is funny and SCARY!

[@MissCookieThief]

"They have like no intelligence. They're like ignorantly happy south-american people." Most ironic comment of the video.

[@joeschmoe5250]

just for the record,, Victoria is the capital city of the province British Columbia. It is situated on Vancouver Island. Canada is divided into , 10 provinces and 3 territories. Yes , hockey was invented in Canada , but Lacrosse is considered our national sport.

[@donniedrako2023]

Canada born and proud love the USA been there once met alot of friendly people I loved the visit

[@maxcielus]

I'm Canadian, and proud of it. 83 Also, I would like to add a few things: 1. Even in the Winters, not everywhere in Canada get heavy snowfall - or any, for that matter. It was such a fun day earlier this winter when it ACTUALLY SNOWED... for the one half-day. XP 2. We do not, in fact eat a lot of pancakes and/or maple syrup - at least not from where I'm from. Personally I prefer waffles over pancakes, and as for the maple syrup, I don't really like it. It's too sweet, and too expensive. Normal old pancake syrup is what I like. 3. Not all of us like hockey. In fact - don't kill me for this - I kind of hate it. 8/ But, then again, for me it's the same for almost any sport. (Us Band kids tend to... not prefer PE... ;3) 4. We do not all speak French. Definitely not fluently. Though I myself am in French emmersion, more than half my friends only speak English. I'd say only about 20(ish)% of Canadians fluently speak in French. 5. This will just debunk a lot of obviously untrue stereotypes, but... We're not uneducated, we have public schools, private schools, colleges and universities. Most of us (I can't speak for some people that live WAY up north) do NOT travel by dogsled - or even have I sled for that matter. I own one beloved mutt I got from the pound, and that's all I need. In A LOT of places, winter is not "year round". As in, we do not always have snow falling, or cold. Where I live, we're lucky to get ANY snow whatsoever during the winter. Usually it's just rain. 8/ Our summers, though not as hot as some places in the US, can get quite hot. I can tell you that it gets to about 30 degrees, but that'd be in celcius, so Americans probably wouldn't understand. XP Our police force are just about the same as those of the US. The "Canadian Mounties" stereotyped are quite false. I've never seen one in my entire life. 8P We do not talk in horrible accents and say "Eh?" at the end of every second sentence, as the popular stereotype says. With the exception of a few changes in pronunciation, we speak basically the same as most of you Americans do. I don't know how the rumor started that we pronounce 'about', "aboot". It make absolutely no sense at all to me, and I don't see how that even came about. (See what I did there? 8D) In my entire life, I have never seen any Beavers, Moose, or Polar Bears other than in nature documentaries. Jut because they are mostly thought of as "Canadian animals", doesn't mean we all see them. We have a PRIME MINISTER. His name is Steven Harper. Unfortunately, the only thing Americans even know about our government right now is Rob Ford, "the crack mayor". IT IS NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL. Stephen Harper was just being stupid(er... than usual.) Also, I would like to formally apologise on behalf of all of Canada for Justin Bieber. We are not all like that, and by "all", I mean I've never met anyone like him. 8/

[@BaggaCatts]

I laughed so hard when the dad said "You'd think for a place that has so much ice the burgers wouldnt be so dry" we only have ice in the winter and early spring, jeez, PLUS not all the food is bad he probably just got bad food from one crappy resturant

[@joecanada55]

Seems to me most of these kids were quite respectful. Nice to see.

[@willcamick]

Free health care is all i can say ^_^ I love Canada. i can break my arm for fun ROFL

[@Peorhum]

Doh, I was writing down all the US states to see if I could remember them all from when I was a kid in school in Canada, then you sung your little song at the end!...got to 25 before you sung your song.

[@pontiuspilot5887]

You tube is weird. This just came up in my recommendations. It's 8 years old. Most of those kids are probably married with kids on the way. Was funny as hell though. Thanks from Canada. Peace and Love to the girl doing the interviews.

[@GuadalupeBernal]

I lived in Canada Ontario and i agree that we say eh a lot but not at the end of every sentence, only SOME questions. I don't know anyone who can speak fluent french. (aside from my french teacher) We don't put vinegar on everything (only maple syrup, but that's me). we don't say "aboot" I don't get why you think we do because we don't. we are nice and we do say sorry a lot because we are amazing

[@jademm]

Guy at 1:20 -- you went all the way to Toronto just eat fries and a burger? With all the culinary diversity available, you stuck with American staples that you could've got anywhere back home in the U.S. And the question is about CANADIANS (the people), not the food. Gawd.

[@kathleenjessiman]

we call Canadian Bacon, back bacon, we have your kind of bacon too. and we don't live in igloos, we do say eh. and we are stupidly polite, we only put vinegar of some foods.

[@gooseygoose604]

the guy naming provinces did an okay job to be fair. there's other videos where people cant name a single city at all. so he knew enough.

[@peggyt1243]

The first dude was talking about a burger and fries in Toronto and claimed it was "dry". I have had many meals in the USA and they were all greasy.

[@snowdia9010]

Our food may be a little dry or it may taste different to some americans because we dont put 1000 different things in it to make it last longer or to change the taste. Our food is healthier and in my opinion: better.

[@snowdia9010]

And canadians who speak french do not change who they are. Im "franco-ontarienne" and look that up if you dont already know what it is.

[@Lee-mw8rw]

"YOU WOULD THINK THAT IN A PLACE THAT HAS.... A LOT OF ICE< THEY CULD MAKE FOOD THAT ISN'T SUPER DRY" That is literally my new favourite quote about us from an American holy mother.

[@Lee-mw8rw]

i love this video sorry you guys are awesome sorry for all the comments

[@peanutb0120]

Winters here are DRY!!

[@doretoredgoblen]

I'd just like to say I'm from Canada and really enjoyed this video. Nothing taken personally. I'm really impressed how many people actually liked hockey and how well the one person knew the provinces.. Little trouble but good haha. And there's only one province that speaks French and most of Canada doesn't like them ether. That's all.. Thanks for the laughs

[@tintinftww]

Unless this kid went to Nunavut, he went to Vancouver Island, not Victoria Island ;) But I'm glad he liked it here.

[@ShalomSimplified]

As a Canadian, I hate vinegar. Winter, too. Yes, we have a lot of it, but exposure =/= enjoyment. Oh, and we have more than one sport. Are we really into hockey? Generally speaking, yes. But we do like other sports, too. And we invented basketball. So there. I love how the first "province" that one guy came up with was NWT. Not a province. XD I don't blame Americans for not knowing that, though, because they aren't exposed to our media the way we are to theirs. For the Americans reading this who are genuinely curious, our provinces are: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador (commonly just called Newfoundland). Our territories are: Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. The attempt at our national anthem made me laugh. XD They knew about as much of it as I know of the American anthem, so it was totally fair. But it was still funny.

[@ThroughRandomWords]

He's right, in one of the native languages Canada means "village", it might actually mean "little village", but I'd have to look that one up.

[@99Narration]

The way you're handling all the comments made by Canadians (who seem to take offence to some of the things said in this video), is amazing! I thought that some of the comments made were a little ignorant, but at the end of the day it was for fun! Apparently we Canadians are very nice, so i won't disappoint. Merci! Thank you! :)

[@nelsonm5032]

1 province is French, the rest of us speak English. we don't say "aboot" lol, no idea how that ever got started... and we have regular bacon aswell we call it "bacon" the stuff Americans call Canadian bacon, we call back bacon.

[@jimmyblais1502]

actually we do sound like we say aboot. Im an actor who was trained in american dialect and ways of speach. I hear aboot all the time. sad but true!!!

[@TiborRoussou]

+jimmy blais I say about, not aboot. Was born in Toronto, so the word eh is common in my vocabulary. I suppose saying eh is better than saying huh?

[@99bulletsarescene]

no one ever says aboot lol
