As a Canadian, I want to thank you for your glowing review of our Country. For many, many years a majority of us have felt like shouting aloud how much we love living in the Great White North and how it is one of the best places to live, but only let it out as a whisper, fearing we would sound conceited and petty. It is nice to see others also have a love for our Country. Just to add to your comment of French only being in Quebec, you should know there is a healthy portion of Francophones in New Brunswick, pockets of the same in Northern Ontario and an increasing amount of French immersion schools in Ontario, now that people are realizing the employment opportunities of knowing two languages fluently.

Also Manitoba has a rather large French community! I don't know the specific numbers but as a Saskatchewanian I'd say they have the largest number of us western folks!

Heck, until just a few years ago we had a wild Peacock living in southeast Edmonton, just off our Whitemud drive and 75 street.

I've had Vermont's maple syrup and it's good stuff too.

Just a little warning for those who come to Nova scotia, there are safety rules here in regards to the ocean. Tourists die here multiple times a year because they either don't read the signs or don't understand the landscape in the areas signs haven't been put up. If you're in Nova Scotia, don't follow the tide out along the bay of fundy. Once the tide goes out, you can barely see the water from shore sometimes, but it doesn't mean that open sandy/mucky space is somewhere you can walk safely because there's no water. The further from land, the muckier, deeper, and more dangerous the ocean floor becomes. If you had to run 100ft away from the tide coming in in a hurry, the muck would prevent you from doing so. You're a human, not a mussel, you don't belong there. www.canada-photos.com/picture/fishing-boats-halls-harbour-nova-scotia-7365.htm Here's an example of how far out the tide gets ANYWHERE on the bay of fundy. People tie their fishing boats down so they don't tip on their sides overnight, not because they might drift off. Also, if you're going to Peggy's Cove, or anywhere more rocky than sandy, don't walk on the "black rocks", aka the wet rocks. If you wound up in the water, climbing onto smooth, flat, wet rocks while swimming is near impossible. The waves will smash your powerless body against them like a brick wall until search and rescue has to fish you out. If rocks are wet, the waves have already hit them recently, and it will happen again. If you lose your footing from a wave impact there, you're done. www.google.ca/search?q=peggy%27s+cove&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiNu-iRq-_dAhXmTN8KHc7vBEAQ_AUIDygC&biw=1517&bih=730#imgrc=gC5TkhTSq3ttFM: Here, all I had to do was google "peggy's cove" and there's 2 people probably standing a little too close. It does look like an uncommonly large wave, but you have to expect such. It's a sad reality, but I hear about nova scotian tourism from the obituaries more than anything positive. Please be safe enough to tell your family about your visit when you hopefully make it home. It's a beautiful place, but nature will have it's way.

Lol i was driving home from a work call out on a long weekend and seen this little pos van on the side of the road with a flat tire and the guy was trying to charge it without luck so I pulled over and they all jumped in the vehicle and locked the doors I asked if they needed help they said they were from Poland doing a Canadian tour so I started changing the tire and there spare was flat so I pulled out my air hose filled it and removed the broken shock that wrecked the tire in the first place and said that should be better than the guy asked if I knew a shop that would be open cause the van had lost power a while ago and they were scared they were not going to make it much farther I laughed and said start it up so after repairing the boot on the aftercooler they said do all Canadians know how to fix cars I said yup that’s why I can’t let you pay me cause anyone else would have done the same thing. I still have his business card incase I make it to Poland one day

Canadian here- great video. I agree with most of your points but feel it only right to warn people that Tim Horton's is no longer owned by a Canadian company and has drastically changed. It now totally sucks. People still go there because there is a Timmy's on every corner, but it's turning into a Burger King. Back in the day Tim's was a BAKERY- their donuts/Timbits were made on site, they sold great sandwiches and their tea and coffee was really good. In fact, their coffee made them famous. Now, however, everything is "fast food" garbage and not good quality, their tea is utterly horrible and their coffee stinks. In an ironic twist, the coffee that made Tim's famous was switched just after they were (sadly) sold to a foreign company (parent company of Burger King....!)and is now the coffee sold at Canadian McDonald's! So, if you want Tim Horton's coffee, you have to go to Mickey's. Sheesh! Also, as a final slap in the face to Canadians, the very popular Tim Horton's "Roll Up The Rim" contest is bullshit now. Used to be you could win a free coffee or tea, or a donut and other increasingly great prizes etc. up to a t.v. to a car with greater frequency. Now, the frequency of winners is very low and the car you "win" is only a lease! I have a batchelor pal who practically lives at Tim's- he used to get so many "Roll Up the Rim" wins (small stuff, but fun) that we averaged it to one out of three. RUTR is on now and has been for over 10 days and he has won NADA. Hmmmn... Nor have a lot of other people. Double-double hmmmn..... There was a time when Canadians would talk about how good Tim's was- now we just talk about how much it sucks. My 4 teens and their friends are going there less and less. That tells you something! Sadly, Tim Horton's is no longer Canadian OR good. So, if you come to Canada -and we hope you do-, go to a LOCALLY owned coffee shop for a slice of Canadiana. We no longer have a national one. 🇨🇦

@Canadian I assumed that because this tourist was speaking in English, they perhaps spoke to him exclusively in English. I often hear monolingual people "announcing" that hardly anyone speaks anything but their language. Naturally, people will oblige a visitor by using the language in which the guest is most comfortable. I know I found this frustrating when I hoped for a more immersive experience abroad - people wanted to practice their English or whatever when we wanted to try theirs 😏

I was at Montreal for the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix and man, you weren't kidding when you said that Canadians are friendly. While walking around the track, there were 5, yes, five instances where total strangers came up to me, handed me their cameras and asked me to take their pictures. Remember, this was back in 2010. So smart phones with a good camera wasn't a thing. And I don't remember seeing any selfie sticks back then. So to this jaded life long New Yorker, this was a shock to me. 🤣 And of the 5, one of them handed me his DSLR with a crazy long lens. So I obliged and snapped a few photos with him and this friends. And then on the grand stand watching the race, my friends and I started to strike up a conversation with some folks sitting next to us. One person whom I recall was from Toronto, saw that my arms were getting red from sun burn, so she just reached into her bag and offered me some sun screen for me and my friends. Then for the bus ride back to my hotel, I remember the bus driver noticed my hands and arm red from being exposed to the sun as I was swiping the fare card. And she was like in her French, Quebecois accent: "Ooo la la, are you OK?" 🤣😂 So I just said: "oui, I'm OK, I just put on some sunscreen 😁" So yeah, Canadians are nice folks.

Living in the flat areas, you can see so much of the beautiful prarie skies, sunsets are amazing here. I grew up more Northern MB near cystal clear lakes and forests of pine trees. Camping was a great break from busy life. Anyway, thanks for helping me appreciate it more from a tourists viewpoint. Glad you and others felt welcomed❤

+R PM no apologies needed for burning Buffalo, we invaded first and received a justified retaliation. but you should know I had relatives here back then on my mothers side. no joke. my grandfather would tell stories told by his grandfather of putting wet corn husks on the fires to produce high amounts of smoke and opening the windows to appear as if the house was already set on fire. that way the Brits would pass by. I do not know if my relative of past lost anything in the burning. but absolutely no hard feelings at all!!! it was a different time and an invasion we started first. we were the rebellious children who made up with thier siblings and parents later in life. better late than never. the 10th mountain division was tough, my mothers uncle served in the 10th, he was transfered to the 2nd and shipped to Korea after the north invaded the south. he died 2 weeks in country at age 18. I remember seeing pics of him in his ski gear. moutain troops are tough and love the snow, they have to be. sorry, didnt mean to go nostalgia. Just brought back some family stories and history. I wouldnt support another invasion of Canada, can't think of a reason to.lol we are probably the friendliest neighbors in the world. we may not agree on everything, but best friends often don't.

Wolters World In Ontario you see a lot of French because it is the home of our nations capital city of Ottawa. Lots of policy making happens there, plus cities like Ottawa and Toronto house many cultural buildings and historical sites which are all rooted in the French and English languages. Although, New Brunswick is actually the only official “bilingual” province in Canada. Quebec’s official language is French so it’s technically a unilingual province. Fun fact as well, the territory of Nunavut is technically is tri-lingual as along with English and French one of their official languages is the Indigenous language of Inuktitut. Quebec and New Brunswick do share a border, however they are very different places with very different communities. Same with Quebec and Ontario. I’m glad you enjoyed your time here in our beautiful Canada. If you have any other questions about the culture, history, or languages don’t hesitate to ask.

On the language thing, I would note that french speakers from France have a bit of a hard time understanding us, but we understand them just fine. While we did come from France, the French dialect you hear in Québec has had almost 350 years to shift and it shows. We have a lot of unique expression which you won't hear anywhere else and are a reflexion of our history. Also notable is the fact that most french canadian swears are actually related to the catholic church. Following the Duplessi era, we massively rejected the church.

The snow thing, igloos, food, size of the place, these all seem to be mysteries to many. We have summer, winter, spring and fall. Summers are hot, high 30'sc, upper 80'sf and 90'sf. Winter, depending where you are, varies significantly, on the east and west coasts it's generally warmer than central Canada which can hit the -40c f, and that will blow your mind. 30 degrees colder than a meat freezer. They say it builds character, whoever they are? It's a big beautiful country full of wonderful people. Peace out.

If you're visiting Canada and want to experience the thicker, older "general Canadian" accent (different from French-Canadian, and different from the Atlantic provinces, particularly Newfoundland), try talking to folks in a small , working class town! The cities have younger populations with a more global influence, so the accent is less pronounced. Try, say, touring the Okanagan during fruit season. I went through there (unfortunately on the way back from a family memorial in Alberta), but we stopped by one of the roadside fruit stands where they had cherries and other fruit in season from the orchards, and flavoured honeys, jams, jellies, and syrups... and they were all local or regional products. The scenery we passed was beautiful, with winding rivers, many small towns, rural properties which had what looked like dilapidated old lean-tos that looked positively ancient and not in use (obviously not the buildings anyone uses or lives in, anymore. They looked like they could be parts of old homesteads, when that was the sort of thing people might have lived in, a long time ago). There are also ghost towns to visit, in BC! Timmie Ho's is cheap, decent for food (I mean, it's not gourmet, it's not cafeteria food), IIRC we have twice as many of them as we do McDonald's (and we have a lot of McDonald's, too!), it's about as easy to find while roadtripping as you would a gas station (sometimes they're a combined Timmie Ho's and gas station), the washrooms are usually kept in good order and they're not super strict about travellers needing to use them as a rest stop (at least, in _my_ roadtripping experience. Although again, the donuts and coffee are super cheap, so it's easy enough to support the business), and it's where the working class locals go for coffee. So if you need advice on what to see and avoid, tips for navigating the area, you can likely find someone to help you with info. Please, if anyone visiting is considering going for a hike, make sure that you are thoroughly prepared. Do your research (start here: www.hellobc.com/things-to-do/hiking). I absolutely would not recommend going on anything but a well-marked nature walk, without people who know the terrain and trails you choose. Not in BC. Perhaps you can find a guided group or something. You should be well-informed on what to do (and not do) if/when you encounter the wildlife, particularly bears, cougars, bucks, and moose of either sex (because they're huge, and cows with calves can be dangerous!). Too many people go missing, never to be seen again, or to have their remains found years later by others who spot them and call the authorities attention to it, which at least can bring some closure to the families. Others, if they're lucky, have to be rescued. I can't count how many times I have marvelled at the lack of common sense and preparedness of people like these ladies who were just rescued: globalnews.ca/video/4454438/unprepared-hikers-rescued-from-north-shore-backcountry . Search and Rescue (SAR) will do their best to help your ass, regardless, but don't count on them _not_ being just a tad judgemental, behind closed doors. If you're out Saskatchewan way, or if you just want hockey merch which you can wear at any game, in any hockey town, without it starting any heated debate about which is the superior team, get yourself a hat (or jersey, or t-shirt, or pin) supporting the Humboldt Broncos. The team recently returned to the ice, after losing so many in that terrible bus crash, which garnered tributes across North America and going beyond just the sport of hockey, too, to other sports. Your support for the team will be appreciated, and no one's going to knock your team merch choice in sports circles (well, generally. There are assholes in any country, but they wouldn't get support from the home crowd). 100% of proceeds go to the Humboldt Strong Community Foundation, supporting those affected in the aftermath of the crash: www.theriderstore.ca/collections/humboldt-strong-community-foundation

They can have my old fishing waders if they want. Eh ? Thanks for the information on wearing the "Humboldt Broncos" hats and jerseys. I know hockey is the most important sport in all of Canada and here I would wear the wrong team's hat when fishing and get into a fight and be arrested by the RCMP. That would not be a good vacation. Eh? (PLEASE NOTE:) We in North Dakota (which shares a boarder with Saskatchewan) sincerely offer our sympathy for the terrible bus crash of the Bronco's young hockey team. It moved the world and ND. But we were impressed how every Canadian Province offered support and "held the back" of Saskatchewan. We on the prairies know driving on ice covered roads during the winter can be serious.

I don't agree with the accents. I am from a TINY working class town from northern Ontario. Only difference in accents I've heard, were from French speaking people trying to speak English. Apart of that, accent and dialect is very similar to rest of province. Would better to say the slang varies, but not accents.

By the way, Tim Horton was a hockey player. The joke is that Tim Horton's decides where to put new restaurants by looking checking where the Timmies litter stops on the highway.
