I once drove across Canada in late March, from Toronto to Vancouver, in a U-HAUL. It took 5 days and was GORGEOUS. We drove across the Trans-Canada Highway. We stopped at every "stop of interest", every hokey "attraction" and every A&W fast food joint (my friend was obsessed with their rootbeer and burgers). I would totally do it again, though I would go in May or June next time. (We got caught in a white-out blizzard between Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba.) The scenery constantly changes though it was a bit samey-same in parts of Saskatchewan. Do it up properly, though- drive from the Maritimes to B.C. Trip of a lifetime.

I'm a canuck and Bill Burr is one of the funniest comedians of the last 30 years. BTW, re: being dark, Ottawa is south of Paris. So no, it's not dark in the winter until you get into the far north. If you get up to places like Canadian Forces Station Alert, 800 miles from the North Pole, then sure, you're going to have some pretty long nights in the winter. But 90% of Canadians live within 100 km of the border with the US. And re: Lewis Black, I lived in Winnipeg as a kid, with all my relatives in Nova Scotia. He's not kidding; Winnipeg to Thunder Bay, and then on to Toronto, is two solid days of trees. My wife is Danish. You can drive from the northern tip of Denmark to Germany in about 3 1/2 hours. When her friends came to Canada for our wedding, they wanted to see Niagara Falls. Ottawa to Niagara Falls is about 7 hours and you don't even come close to leaving Ontario. As they say, Europeans think 100 miles is a long trip; North Americans think 100 years is a long time.

At least you'll never be truly lost. You can use Regina's city lights as a beacon within a 500 km radius.

The best American comedian on Canada in my experience is Jim Gaffigan. He’s funny and did some homework. But one of my favourite bits is Jim Jefferies doing a Canadian doctor in his Freedumb routine. That whole show is hilarious.

I think the UK, especially Britain is thought of as having bland food. My experience [born in 1959 to early settlers of Canada} Canadian food is Multi-cultural along with the importance of things like the Canadian Food Guide, ensuring good health when followed. As a Canadian, I eat close to the earth, Love flavour from spice or herb {from the garden} ~~~~

I am keen to see your reactions to Kids in the Hall comedy sketch show and Schitt's Creek sitcom. You might love them. Not as heavy on self-deprecating humour but similar in kind. One showcases a delight in the absurd and the other is a masterful mix of kindness and wit (led by Dan Levy in collaboration with his dad Eugene Levy and featuring the great Catherine O'Hara).

If I may suggest, outside of your requested area of input, a film I think you might find fascinating. As a Canadian, it isn't often I seek out Scottish media specifically, but I did in this case. The film is called, 'The Hector: From Scotland to Nova Scotia' (2017). The documentary details the arrival of the first 200 Scottish settlers onto what was then the undeveloped shores of the land they called New Scotland. Fascinating story, and a really well done documentary as well. BBC Scotland was the primary producer, but from my understanding, other Scottish media sources were involved as well. Keep up the wonderful work! Cheers from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, AKA, the furthest southern city in the country (we're on the same latitude as northern California.) It's also the only place in Canada where you look north to see the USA (specifically, the city of Detroit, Michigan.)

We love Bill Burr in Canada. It drives me crazy that people from other countries think Canada is always cold. In the winter it gets cold and definitely some places more than others. A lot of us who live in the prairies where is gets really cold book one or two winter vacations to tropical destinations. Something we look forward to. In the Canadian prairies it is sunny most of the year hot or cold. It's been 30 degree celcius for a while now, hot and very humid. Many, many days of plus 30 degrees in our summers. April -Aug sun up at like 5-6am and sets at 10-11pm. BBQ is popular in Canada in the summer.I have road tripped along the Transcanada highway from Vancouver to PEI. From Toronto to Winnipeg there is a lot of forest but veer off and explore areas of the Canadian Shield Lake Superior or Kenora or The Whiteshell and Lake Winnipeg with its miles and miles of soft sand beaches. If you just stay on the highway traversing from east to west without exploring you are missing out on some gorgeus parts of the country. Canada is a country to explore.

[@CayleeG]

33 today with the humidex, and it isn't even summer yet! I remember being at school as a child. And tbh it only got stinko hot towards the very end of school, which was somewhere in the last week of June. No, we had no a/c nor huge amounts of heat in the winter. It was a big old school built in 1860 and it was usually always temperate in the building. Exterior walls were 2-3' thick.

True- there is nothing between Toronto and Thunder Bay, and just flat prairie between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg. I love it! I love the unending expanse of the endless prairie skies, the waving fields of grain, the winds blowing from the mountains to the west...yup, pure land, not a tree in sight...a place where you can watch your dog run away for three days...hee hee hee

[@petemcfeet28]

(A lot of) Canadians take pride in BBQing all year through. Minus 30 in February and want a steak? Shovel a path to the grill, get it hot, boots, toque, mitts and a spatula and this is going to happen! Should I tinfoil some onions and mushrooms too? Ha!

The Trans Canada highway from Toronto to Thunder Bay goes along Lake Superior where there is little settlement. It is very isolated.

I've driven across our country and back through the US many times and it's wonderful. It's long... but the changes of vegetation, weather, etc. was quite interesting and sometimes instant as we crossed the provincial border. It's long and flat in the prairies; down south they have desert and cacti which was a shock and surreal to see as well. Oh in Nova Scotia, we stopped by the sea and experiences clapping stones; naturally from the combination of the waves and the stones. Hubby and I took a few bows 😊

[@jedisith3864]

Come to Lethbridge Alberta, I'll show you Cacti and desert and we can visit a Buffalo Jump all in an afternoon! Not the big saguaro cactus but definitely prickly, if you know where to look there is also Rattlesnake, Black Widow and Brown Recluse (Hobo Spiders) lol

Flower pot stones? They are starting to collapse. Better see them in newbrunswick while you can. The largest is already gone. Nvm you said novascotia not newfoundland. Though if you want to see the coast with the longest tide change. The Flower pots are where it's at.

[@aannddrryyaa]

@@_Twink I don't know what the term you call it. There were a bunch of stones along the seashore, about the size of a softball, very smooth, seeming to all clap as the waves came in and out.

I took a Grehound bus from Toronto, ON to Edmonton, AB. 60 hours! After 2 days of travel, I was still in Ontario! Manitoba had great vièws, but we all knew to sleep through Saskatchewan. It was brutally boring flat lands. I'll never do that again -- take a bus I mean. If you want to travel the 7,821 kms across the country, a luxury RV or a sleep cabin on the train is better. Otherwise just fly! It's only a 4 hour flight from Toronto to Edmonton.

Lewis Black says "I wanted to tour your entire country." Ottawa is in Eastern Ontario, but there are five whole provinces east of there, not to mention the terrotories to the north! It's annoying when people say they've been across the whole country, but exclude anything east or north of Ontario. It's like saying someone toured the U.K., but never left Kent! Lol

Contary to Lewis Black, Canada is not grey and dark and I don't know anywhere in Canada that averages minus 30-50 in the winter. I spent a few weeks this winter in Whitehorse and it was beautiful. As for Canadian comedians: I think Shaun Majumder is one of my favourites -- he's from Newfoundland and Labrador.

BBQ is very popular in Canada. We have ones that can be turned on by a switch in the house, so when its -30 and snowing you can pre-heat it, because that is hard to do when your wearing mittens.

I think you’re right about Australia being known for barbecues however, Canadians do love barbecues. All my friends who have a gas barbecue use it straight through the winter. They pop out in their coats, barbecue their meat, and bring it in for dinner. The winters can be long so when the warm weather comes, we like to be outside as much as possible……another reason for the popularity of the barbecue.

SCTV is a older series, but truly is legendary comedy. So many comedians launched their career's from "SCTV"! "Dr. Tongues 3D house of Horrors", "Ed Grimly", "Edith Prickley", "Bruno"," Guy Cabrillo", "Lola Harrington", "Bobby Vitman", All must know characters By Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, John Candy, Dave Thomas, Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Joe Flannery and others! SNL used to have a Canadian content corner, " The Great White North, with Bob and Doug Mackenzie". Mike Myers was one of the Mackenzie brothers, also is known as the international man of mystery, MI6 agent Austin Powers! That is all I can think of right now. But really proud and glad you're enjoying our off the Wall, self deprecating Canadian Humour! Oh and Yes, Yes, yes, We LOVE BBQ too!
