American Reacts to Canadian vs American Patriotism (Stand-up Comedy)

I was offered a job in the US that came with a citizenship and I refused not once, but twice. I would fight any day for my adoptive people. The quebecers I know are incredibly proud and upstanding people. My kids were also taught the history of both France and England since it's important to know where you come from. This is in a public school. They learnt about Europe too and geography. Education is the main difference from the US.

After that he was pretty cool with the idea than in Canada you can be who you are and be proud of it.

Yeah, maybe it's accurate to say that while we are all Canadian and follow Canadian culture, part of that is having a positive interest in a person's family heritage, as part of getting to know them.

Here is the actual definition of patriotism. “patriotism, feeling of attachment and commitment to a country, nation, or political community. Patriotism (love of country) and nationalism (loyalty to one’s nation) are often taken to be synonymous, yet patriotism has its origins some 2,000 years prior to the rise of nationalism in the 19th century.” As a Canadian I can tell you that I am very patriotic. That means I love my country and very proud of my homeland. That doesn’t mean I have to shove it down everyone’s throat. That’s the difference. Americans are arrogant and obnoxious about where they’re from and think that the world owes them everything. News flash, we don’t.

That's the problem with Americans. It's OK to be patriotic, but Canadians & likely the rest of the world know it in their hearts and don't need to shout it out everywhere they go. They think they're #1 everywhere & too rude & ignorant to see that they're not. Being loud & obnoxious doesn't make you the best.

8:15 "Remembering where you come from" This is about Can/USA's different cultural approaches to immigrations. The comparison is usually called "The Melting Pot, and the Salad Bowl". (You might have heard of these before). USA is like the melting pot; everything added is expected to blend into their new identity. "Welcome to USA! Here's your ball cap. Eat this hot dog, and be American with us! Forget your old culture; you're an AMERICAN now! See you at church on Sunday." Canada is the salad bowl, everything added doesn't change itself, but the combination of all the different colours included together is beautiful! "Hi, Welcome to Canada? Where are you from? Gosh that's interesting! Say, why don't you open up a restaurant with food from your native country? We'd love some new flavours to try. You're closing the restaurant every Thursday for religious observance? That's fine; we'll respect your beliefs, but maybe put out a sign explaining it so we silly locals don't wonder why?" Now that's obviously a big exaggeration to underline the different approaches to how we welcome new people into our countries, but the difference in attitudes is still distinct.

This was after spending ten days on a cruise being pushed around and cut off in line by Americans who also complained about there being a Canada Day celebration on board but went all out for the onboard America Day celebration. And wore Canadian pins, patches and tshirts around to be treated better around Europe. We were in France and my friend and I were looking to get tattoos.

[@Sid-gu5qk]

Up until the late '70s, in Canada, most buildings/stores had a flag somewhere, usually on the roof, I remember because to find out what way the wind was blowing you just had to look up and see what way the flags were blowing. Now it's rare to see a flag in most places.

[@annamoonc2175]

I've seen more international flags, due to international conflicts, in people's windows and on their cars, than Canadian ones. The Canadian flag is most prominent at businesses.

[@ABc-nt8yg]

I as a Veteran, now have almost a PTSD effect when I see a Canadian flag on a vehicle thanks to the stupid Trucker protests across the country. It sadden's me because the Flag and my pride of Country are intrinsic to me and part of the reason I served this country to begin with. I no longer trust the intent of the people displaying our flag to be for the right reasons. Just like the A***holes interrupting Remembrance Day Services (so selfish and disrespectful!!!).

[@sarahegan131]

As a Canadian, I wouldn’t say that Americans are generally over the top about their patriotism… Tyler makes a good point about how Americans fought for their independence from Great Britain, whereas Canada did not. I think if Canada had been faced with with needing to do that, we would feel a sense of sacrifice and solidarity with our fellow country people for this reason. To be honest, I am grateful to be born and raised in Canada vs. some other not-so-fortunate place in the world, but I am patriotic to my country for different reasons. Being grateful for freedom, for freedom of speech, freedom of religion, for opportunity to think, feel and act in ways that align with my values, to live in such a beautiful place… these are some of the reasons I am patriotic to Canada….

[@jolenajade]

Is American patriotism over the top? Think of it as two students in school. Both received A's on a test.

The US takes patriotism and nationalism to a whole other level. Very commercialized. Everything you can imagine has been turned into an American flag including underware ironically. Many Americans own their own full sized flags and fly them daily which i have not seen to the same extent in Canada. One thing you don't see in Canada like in America is things shaped like your province/state. Cutting boards, magnets, and other souvenirs regularly display the state image or are shaped that way. The U.S. has had a whole issue of coins with each state and a set of stamps released. Patriotism goes to the state level but i don't know the name for that.

[@mollygrubber]

Here's an example of one Canadian's experience: I recently took a solo trip to Japan, and although I WANTED to put a big maple leaf on my backpack (not because I didn't want to be seen as an American you understand ;), but because I love maple leaves), but I DIDN'T - because it felt way too jingoistic. Had I been called an American, I would have revealed my lineage - but I have a feeling they already knew I wasn't. I think that because I learned a little Japanese, and studied the culture beforehand so I did not (as far as I know lol) break any of the hundreds of social taboos there. I think that is pretty Canadian. I'm proud of that. Apologies for tooting my own horn though.

In regard to Chan's comment about his citizenship, I can understand the confusion about his nationality. I'd always challenge the American "melting pot" idea as cities in the States have their neighbourhoods, e.g. Greek village, Little Italy, or Chinatown. In Canada, we've always talked about our society as a tapestry or a mosaic in contrast but it's not that different. Still, Leonard's example of Canadians queuing politely in lines comes from our roots as a British colony. 😊

[@waywardmind]

American patriotism is the idea that the flag = military might and if you disrespect the flag, you hate vets and serving members. As a Canadian, I find it really bizarrely militaristic. Canadian patriotism is pride of country, its diverse people, and its history.

Hi Tyler! I live in Winnipeg, where we have the biggest cultural festival in the world (Folklorama). Many, if not most, of us have close cultural ties to where our ancestors are from. Even if its hundreds of years in the past. The Americans I've met have no clue where their families are from. Not even family recipes passed down to them outside of where they are on the American map. My family has traditions and recipes going back up to 400-500 years that were passed down to us through the generations all the way from Europe.

Even the First Nations are from somewhere else. There are no indigenous people in North America. They may or may not have been the first ones here, but that does not mean they are indigenous. Native Americans (Canadians) originated in Asia and Siberia and came to North America from those places.

It feels a misdirection of national pride to me. Canadians have a deep, quiet sense of patriotism - fight when necessary, love our nation all the time, and understand that we are individually and collectively proud and loyal without having to display it to others.

Don't rub it in 😂❤️🤍❤️ Why try to tell an American, we know how proud you guys are and that anything we say there will be a come back about , "yeah, but we..." because instead of celebrating our country with us about being great at something they turn it into a competition because they feel like they have to be the best at everything.

The part about remembering where you come from is true for non-imigrants as well! In Québec, our "national" slogan is "Je me souviens" which translates to "I remember".

I think in general your baseline Canadian culture is pretty chill and casual, and that spills over to patriotism. Lots of us are very patriotic, but it comes out mainly in Canada Day (eg the flags everywhere, fireworks etc). You'll see a bit of it on relevant holidays like Remembrance Day, and sporting events of course. Otherwise, it comes out in low-key ways, like pointing out any time a celebrity is Canadian, sharing Canadian things with people from elsewhere, or making a solid look of distaste when people make jokes about us being America Junior or the 51st state. That said, I think we do have a bit of a pattern of being chill until someone messes with us; we're generally pretty capable of bringing the fight if we need to. That's a form of patriotism too, haha. We'll step up when Canada needs defending in some way (whether verbally or otherwise), otherwise we think it's a bit cringe to make too big a deal out of it outside of relevant holidays or events.

[@yallvoir]
