How the hell does she know Yellowknife??? Most Americans don't even know what Ottawa is.

[@everlastingluv361]

We do know what Ottawa is we're not that dumb

[@FeelinGoode]

Josiah Weber Interesting. I never knew Yellowknife was a tourist destination for Japanese people.

[@TheBrochu2]

+FeelinGood The Japanese people also think that's it's good luck to conceive children under the northern lights....That's why most Japanese tourists that visit Yellowknife are on their honeymoon.

[@fanofactionflicks]

+FeelinGood A lot of tourist from Japan and China go there to see the aurora borealis.

[@boringindividual1131]

+FeelinGood Some people in my Canadian geography class didn't know what Yellowknife was. Some didn't even remember that Manitoba existed

"all the bears"....I laughed really hard :) These people look so sweet and nice.

[@kira_y]

What happened to all the bears roaming the city? Don't tell me-- they forgot to pay their rent? They moved to America because they heard it's a free country?

[@scoutattack5535]

Christine D. no they on the mountain I live on

[@ldrake2578]

Well, I know some moved to America because there are great clubs which have excellent bear clientele or bear nights with specials. (I don't know how they compare to the bars in Toronto or Vancover, but the bear bars are pretty great in SF.) :-) /s

I'm a Japanese student who learn English and have been learning Canada history, people, geography, culture, etc since April this year. My teacher was born in Quebec, he teach me many things about Canada, talking some jokes. He and his lecture is very interesting ! I would like to go to Canada someday, and to communicate with Canadians in fluent English, making new friends there !

[@christopherperkins1894]

_ _ Awesome

[@Hey-py2hb]

[@aa-xi8bc]

I grew up in Ottawa and yes, most people speak English as first language but there are in fact many french-speaking schools and people! My parents are from Quebec so obviously I am a francophone, but sadly most francophones born in Ottawa have below-average grammar and speaking abilities :(

"Canada is less eventful compared to America" I think what you're thinking is that Canada is less problematic lol

[@ikaruseijin01]

Nicole (W)Right Exactly. Boring is underrated. Most people would kill to have boring. Eventful means there's sh*t to deal with. Uneventful means you get to read a book or have a nap or go sit in the park _instead_ of dealing with sh*t.

I'm Japanese. I have been to Canada twice before. People are so nice and I love people and nature there. I think it is true that most of Japanese don't have stereotypes toward Canada though Japanese tend to pe polite and modest.We have good impression on the country.

[@zockey99]

AS a Canadian I feel so proud when they say that their are no negative stereotypes about Canada(expect for random bears showing up in cities sometimes which is actually true but not that bad), thank god i'm not american

In America we get random rioters blocking freeways-subway systems

[@hapaharley1706]

+ayo ajaz They don't know your negative stereotypes because they don't know much about you. Notice how everyone always says maple syrup. As a country, that's what you're known for. Lol, I guess that's something to be proud of.

[@zockey99]

ayo ajaz Don't be ridiculous little brother, we know it hurts your feelings no one cares about you.

[@hapaharley1706]

ayo ajaz Are you now? By we, surely you don't mean the Natives. I mean, draining rivers to look for the body's of missing indigenous people while ur government covers it up for years doesn't sound too peaceful. Probably a good thing no one's paying attention. You guys have a lot of dirt swept under the rug.

[@ryandhamilton18]

As a Canadian, as ignorant as they may seem, they know more about Canada than I do about Japan. And they have more modesty than I think I would have.

[@darellarocho5729]

But you're Canadian. There's no way they can be more modest than you!

[@dev_kuo190]

Because Japan is more developed than Canada.

[@mahakaligod]

+Darell Arocho i'm Canadian and I love you.

[@bappobebeat]

We know more about Americans then they know about us (I'm Canadian)

[@wedmunds]

More modest than you are? That sounds like something someone more modest would say.

[@Troy_K]

Japan is though highly of in Canada too!

[@AnimeAddiction666]

It's funny they didn't mention the stereotype that we apologize or say sorry for everything. Could it be because Japan is so polite, therefore that would be normal? I'm actually curious.

[@a4t976]

Well yeah, that's probably the reason.

[@n.b.3521]

I lived there for 8 years. You are right - I don't think it would strike most Japanese people as different because they also say "sorry" a lot. My American friends used to make jokes about whether a Japanese person or a Canadian person would win should they get into an "I'm sorry" battle. As an aside, however, we're a lot more likely to say "excuse me" or tap someone on the shoulder to get past people in crowded situations. "Excuse me" (or tapping) is considered a bit rude in Japan because you're asking someone else to move. Japanese people will often quietly try to get around other people, fail, and end up bumping them. Of course, they would then apologize profusely, but it used to drive me insane!

[@lemons2300]

Canadians, like Americans, are generally polite out of friendliness, which is very different from the non-confrontational politeness in Japan. Japanese society, for the most part, treat politeness and friendliness as two separate entities.

[@mohammedalali3180]

Who the fuck say that Canadians say sorry for everything, you Canadians lied and believed your lie. what do you mean about Canadians ? I have been to Canada and most of it's population are immigrants.

[@Haggispk]

AGH! I wish they would say Grimes or Jim Carrey at least instead of Beiber, he tarnished our awesome country! *shakes fist* Also more people need to know how absolutely amazing British Columbia is. Most people instantly think to go to Toronto but BC is full of natural beauty from mountains to deserts to lush fern covered rain forests and Victoria is an ultra gorgeous city with some amazing architecture with flowers everywhere.

[@MykaGhostt]

Jennalee Auclair I agree! I love BC! I have family who live on the mainland and on the island. I haven't visited the mainland before, but I really adore the island. I love Victoria and how beautiful all the buildings and streets look and how culturally awesome everything is. I want to go back so badly~

[@RebeccaM17]

Jennalee Auclair I live in Toronto, it's great! But my boyfriend lives in Victoria and I love flying out often. Its really beautiful there, I always love to explore plus BC in general has more nature so driving to do mundane things everyday are much more pleasant because of the view ;) And the fact that they only know Beiber... so shameful

[@MykaGhostt]

RebeccaM17 Some of them said Avril Lavigne, so that wasn't so bad.

[@JPNox]

Jennalee Auclair or perhaps Michael Shanks, for the geekier ones

[@TiffanyElle]

Jennalee Auclair I completely agree! Toronto gets all of the notoriety because it's the largest city, but really, spend a week in Vancouver, visit Whistler, and catch a ferry to Victoria and your mind will be blown with beauty

[@Beisush]

"all the bears" i actually had a chuckle at that. being Canadian and living in a sister city to Shiraoi Town we have a deep respect for Japan and all the students who study here. also the girl that said she went to Niagara knows about small little Yellowknife, that makes my heart sing.

[@Crinklelando]

I like how one of them said that Canada doesn't get along with the USA. It's actually the opposite, we get along very well. And I'm kind of disappointed that none of them said hockey because we Canadians are crazy about hockey.

[@paper-samawinter4312]

​@@greatcanadianmoose3965 oh cool! I know about them mainly moreso out of personal curiosity, although I did know one person who had relatives there. It might be more of a Quebec thing; a lot of our education is geared towards our own province and french canadian culture specifically, which isn't great. Non french speakers are also less likely to move here. (you replied so fast lol)

[@greatcanadianmoose3965]

@@paper-samawinter4312 Lol yes the language barrier is huge. Especially when it comes to jobs and friend groups. I'm curious, did they ever teach much bout the Acadians? My mom is Qubebecois and always said that they tend to neglect the French communities outside of Quebec, and all my Acadian friends hate going to quebec because people treat them poorly because of their accent lol. I don't speak french all that well though, but I worked in a museum for a few years mostly about acadian history. Glad we both can appriciate Yellowknife, the territories truly the most unique part bout canada. Also hope I don't sound like I'm interrogating you, I'm mostly curious since most of my friends are from the english speaking provinces, and my one friend who grew up mostly in quebec has family who was in the FLQ which is wild.

There are loads of Japanese who think Ireland is part of the UK, and unlike you "polite" Canadians, Japanese don't look for excuses to insult other nationalities every chance they get. I'm American and I knew the capital was Ottawa.

[@shantanakillingbeck332]

Tommy boy Jeez chill, it wasn't an attempt of insulting the US, you guys do that yourself. And congratulations you're one in a very very few amount of Americans who know our capital even though it's completely reasonable to think it's Toronto because it's more known around the world. Please chill~

[@shantanakillingbeck332]

Just a reminder, I do not hate Americans or their country but I believe it's a little joke because we both know that USA couldn't care less about Canada. And that's okay, we're just a small population and aren't any threat to you.

[@Creepytaco95]

Ana x I'm sorry. I just see so many comments from Canadians that are insulting and belittling I got the impression that you guys look down on Americans. A lot of people not just in Canada do, and that's a shame. We're a very big nation, only a few of us are totally in line with stereotypes.

[@Yui714]

I'm a Canadian and the capital has never been an important or stressed piece of information here. The only real way a Canadian would know is if they've taken a special interest in the nation or hear it come up on the news. We don't have problems like the United States, so citizens spend more time focusing on their politics rather than our own.

Apparently there was a TV programme that featured a Canadian who put it on burgers and sausages and everything in between xD People are so nice about Canada in Japan, it was really touching hearing what their answers were :)

[@catsadventures3985]

Agreed, John Smith, I used to do it all the time haha but apparently this Canadian carried a bottle of it with him and whenever he ate out he would put maple syrup on his meal. So he also had it on sushi, noodles, etc. It was kinda funny to hear people being surprised that I don't put maple syrup on everything, just a select few things haha

Hi Rachel, Hi Jun! Lol American and Japanese thoughts on Canada seem to be pretty much the same. Maple Syrup, nature, cold, moose, bears, nice people. Negative stereotypes uh... More bears? That lie they call bacon? Strange mixes of French and English? Universal Healthcare? Idk. I've been to Canada a couple times and yeah the people there are really chill. It's nice. Also they don't fool around with their maple syrup, it's pretty great. I'd love to go back and see Niagara Falls someday.

[@wallflower-lo3yx]

***** da fuq is pea meal bacon? I live in Alberta, never heard of it.

[@sophiespice]

Alyssa Schiffman Nothing wrong with universal healthcare! Think of it like Costco...the more people who sign up, the lower the prices we can get on things we need. And everyone needs healthcare. Maybe some people would prefer to have private healthcare through their steady job, but employment trends are changing. Young people are switching jobs more, working for smaller companies and start-ups which don't necessarily provide healthcare benefits. I would argue that if the US had universal healthcare, there would be more room for innovation. People entering the job market (or working people who want a change) could work at small innovative companies without fear that getting sick would bankrupt them. Just my thoughts!

[@1685Violin]

+Sidney Smith Isn't national healthcare considered "socialist" to many? I am just wondering.

[@AlyssaTaylor9]

***** yeah that was a joke.

[@sophiespice]

Alyssa Schiffman Ah gotcha. I met some Americans recently who were opposed to universal healthcare so I'm on red alert lol

[@shinzo8197]

What Japanese think of Germany would be interesting :D

[@ninaconcu2000]

Yeah :o

[@VerrueckteKatzenLadie]

Shinzo I heard that Japanese love German culture... so yeah, would be really interesting :)

[@BarbiePeachy1]

Shinzo yes

[@corneliachiorean7552]

They love it. I was in Japan for half a year and everyone gets pretty excited, when they heard I'm from Germany :) (and everyone wants to try our beer :D )

[@LittleLofiStories]

Yeeeessssss xD

[@dannyfargnoli3731]

I'm a french Canadian, i love japan and this video makes me so happy!

[@bexanne99]

They know so much more about Canada then Americanas! I was very impressed that so many knew our Capital. 🍁❤🍁

[@daniellagomez7597]

Suggestion for a What Japanese Think Of Mexico? :3

[@SuviTuuliAllan]

Sachiko Gomez Nope. Finland.

[@Alckee]

Suvi-Tuuli Allan nope. Japan

[@SuviTuuliAllan]

Garrett Howard Nope. Mars.

[@Alckee]

Suvi-Tuuli Allan yes

[@amirbutcher2147]

Suvi-Tuuli Allan yes

[@aolian3]

The interviewer at 4:26 pronounced Quebec with the Canadian-French accent LOL YESSSSSS

[@famsu5654]

Keeping the English speaking countries pattern, I suggest doing a video about Australia.

[@InfernosReaper]

Ferman Sensei That's one you can skip, honestly. Australians go to Japan more than just about any other group of people. When I went to Japan, I kinda started wondering if there actually where any Australians in Australia.

[@perthzakugirl6288]

InfernosReaper haha!!! And lots of Japanese also come here as tourists and exchange students too! Koreans on the other hand where very excited to learn I was Australian when I went there - I think they were just surprised I wasn't America tbh!

[@KJess19]

Yesss +Rachel & Jun if possible i'd love one for what japanese people think of aussies haha thanks!! :)

[@horsesuperstar101]

Yes Australia!!

[@badgerinabluedress4866]

InfernosReaper Australians seem to be everywhere in Asia. Especially if there's a pub.

[@KartGaming]

Do one for Sweden, I'm curious :)

[@SuviTuuliAllan]

KartGaming Nope. Finland.

[@KartGaming]

Suvi-Tuuli Allan both!

[@SuviTuuliAllan]

KartGaming Fine. But they better do their research well! :P

[@Eyadish90]

KartGaming Would be cool, even if our Sweden is just a small mark on the map

[@SuviTuuliAllan]

That is racist!

[@davidjay2253]

They're so right! I'm a Canadian and it's amazing here.

[@rileyjensen5257]

They know more about Canada than Americans do

[@c6ya398]

Riley Jensen i love u

[@JaitsuStudios]

The "waffles" bit caught me off guard. Did not actually know other countries associate waffles with us. Maple syrup, yes. Beautiful nature, yes, but the waffles were a wee bit of a surprise. Damn, but waffles are good though.

[@maximeschmitt6589]

Waffles are usually associated with Belgium, just like French fries.

[@bobbeasley6810]

I was watching this while I was having my breakfast - eggo waffles with maple syrup. Sheesh. I'm such a stereotype! :-) But they were delicious!

[@itsdaniel9652]

As a Canadian, it makes me so happy to see such positive opinions of our country! I was smiling the whole time while watching this :)

[@terrencemorgan5091]

i love the japanese im canadian

[@blu-jay6451]

It’s funny how Ottawa sounds way more japanese than anything else really.

[@daniursi3827]

I love this video. I hope these kids will come to see my beautiful country someday.

[@Beffinee]

I really like this series! I'd be curious to see a video on what Japanese people think about the UK :D

[@cameronhunter8699]

Omg yes

[@Nomadic-canadian]

Beffinee i am canadian and i love the uk :D

[@TheQuestforHerobrine]

+Beffinee Is it very multicultural there?

[@Beffinee]

Peter Tseng Yeah that is such a large difference between Japan and the UK! It's kind of hard to put into words but sometimes I felt so out of place in Japan, in the UK you'd never be stared at because of your race. It was quite an odd feeling for me.

[@TheQuestforHerobrine]

Don't worry! If you ever get stared at, I will manage to help you out. Japan is really monoculture despite the amount of foreigners there. I am Taiwanese and feel it would be a lot better if people are more friendly toward others regardless of race.

[@daneo4]

Americans would never say Ottawa in 10000000 years

[@thapoint09]

+daneo4 I did in my head.

[@gravityarts_lhf3234]

I’m thankful that they thought of Canada so fondly! Thank you

[@ScarecrOmega]

I was really appalled that Bieber and Lavigne were the only celebrities they knew but then I understood that their entertainment are mostly young singers and not comedians or actors.

[@Taylerer]

I'm Canadian and this video makes me so happy! When they asked about bad stereotypes and they said they didn't know any 🙂😊 that is so nice!!

[@Jackspaniel1]

I think the same about Japan. No negative stereotypes. Canada and Japan, we are one!! ❤️🇯🇵🇨🇦

[@annonzy]

I live in Canada and this country is Prodi and free, wé accept any one who comes even if their different, canada is amazing and there je no other place id live than Here in Canada.

[@annonzy]

Sorry i ment to put proud. Not prodi 😛😛

[@freddifish4179]

Am I the only one that finds Japanese woman, on average, adorable? They have this quiet demeanor about them that is so freaking cute. The young lady in the red sweater, is one of the most adorable ladies I've seen in a long time. She is so soft spoken and has this cute shyness about her. Please, all of you, come visit our great country any time you want... you won't be disappointed. Uhg, that sounds kinda pervy, lol. :)

[@yubarajbhusal2911]

These people's (Japanese)are really a very respectful and lovely in the world. The way they act their culture, behave towards others, peace people, no any country has this kind of good culture. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻so much of love and respect to all Nihonjin.

[@popcorn3407]

0:55 she is so beautiful!!

[@rachelrondeau8241]

I feel so proud to be Canadian now :)

[@waffles5012]

I love this vid!! Much love from Canada Jun and Rachel!!!

[@yeyewonsomething]

I thought they all looked familiar! Was this filmed on the same day as the American one?

[@RachelandJun]

Yeye Yes it was! haha

[@Colmcille_]

Out of context this sound very racist.

[@artheaux666]

Mr. Duck LOL, i had to read what she said again to get what you meant

[@asfhsahfehfasfs]

Mr. Duck LOL it really does!

[@yeyewonsomething]

Mr. Duck oops

[@StormShaun]

An intriguing video. It is always nice to see what others think about your country.It would be interesting to see what they think about Australia. I've heard more than one country say our capital is Sydney. XD

[@glenora1974]

StormShaun what? are you saying it's not!? =) (just kidding)

[@Lagiacrus1996]

glenora1974 Nah ofc its Melbourne, duh

[@johnsmith2875]

StormShaun Obviously not, it's Australia City!

[@emileheskey7991]

Everywhere you go.

[@ForceofNature99]

+StormShaun Well Canberra doesn't really stand out compared to Sydney lol. Though neither does a boring ass city like Ottawa =P. Toronto & Sydney for life!

[@grogu425mandalorian3]

I feel sooooo happy to be Canadian 🤗 not really any bad stereotypes ,I love that 😊

[@TiffanyElle]

I'm laughing at everyone saying "cold". I live on the west coast (Vancouver, we had the 2010 Olympics here) and we've had between 30C-40C temperatures for months. The week before last we were hotter than Jamaica and California, which isn't uncommon in summer. Plus a few of our provinces are dealing with brutal wildfires (in the hundreds) from all of the extreme heat and dryness, and we're having to fly in firefighters from Australia to help out. I don't even think it snowed more than one day here in the past two winters? Seriously guys, not all of Canada is cold. Plus British Columbia is gorgeous. Also, I'm dying at the bad stereotype is that we have nothing here! I'm more than happy to pretend we're all forest with no cities so we can stop overpopulation :P

[@Nirahhh]

Tiffany Elle yeah, we in Ontario got the short end of the stick on that one.

[@TiffanyElle]

Yeahhhhh you guys got owned

[@bffmcowolf3393]

Tiffany Elle I'm convinced Vancouver isn't even a part of Canada, everyone probably got lost when the maps were made. while It's around zero and snowing in most parts of southern Canada it's raining in Vancouver with 10 degree weather. People from Vancouver are traitors, how do you even get around if it's too warm to ride your polar bear?

[@TiffanyElle]

Well considering how the globe and temperature on it works, it's not surprising that the western coast has milder temperatures than the interior. It's the same way in the United States.

[@charizard0822]

Tiffany Elle I'm living in Quebec and the last winter is very cold ! The temperatures is between like -30c and -40c in january.

[@luc_theriault]

5:35 she so cute

[@haboombaby]

It’s so cool seeing what other countries think of us. Thanks for doing this!

[@PixelatedBlu]

2:15 damn how did she know yellowknife? Im impressed.

[@acertainanimetheorymakingg3875]

So the Japanese see Canada the same way Americans do. That place with maple syrup, Justin Beiber, and nice people...Someone introduce them to Buckley.

[@mamomille8851]

This is a heartwarming video! I'm Canadian and these people make me proud to be one

[@kyrahrowe5836]

" except the bears" please, our bears will apologize too😂

[@kupaux]

Their opinion of Canada truly warmed my heart but I'm a bit embarassed that our most recognizably Canadian exports are justin bieber and Avril Lavigne

[@singtweetypie]

These students are an absolute delight - and was impressed with what they knew. Not sure if our Canadian students would do as well. Well done!

[@aziziasri1994]

Oh, an anime Tenkai knights, it have both japanese and “canada” english dub

[@susanb4816]

when this was uploaeded, harper was prime minister. bet they could answer trudeau if asked today, though

[@ToshAroundMac]

+Susan B : Well I would expect at least one of them to fangirl and scream a high-pitched ''DJUSTINU TURUDO KAWAI''. *facepalm*

[@rockshooter2806]

+ToshAroundMac ''TURUDO SENPAI NOTICE MEEEE!!!''

[@RibbonVintageGirl]

+Rock Shooter JUSTIN TRUDEAU-SAMAAAAAAAAAA (He was born on Christmas. Go figure.)

[@johnbrowne3950]

A lot of Canadians would like to see Trudeau move to Japan.

[@destinystarr8363]

Awe I'm so happy some people don't have bad stereotypes about my Canada 💋

[@paige9419]

I live in Canada and we don't get along with some America's because a lot of them are rude to us
