American Reacts to 25 Funny Differences Between Canadians and Americans 

America is a continent

@@deanjulian6189 As American, he was talking about people living in USA. But America is, to be exact, a part of the world, not a continent. North America is a continent... Maybe you was talking about the 3 continents system, but we don't teach it in North America. We mainly teach the 6 or the 7 continents system and America is NOT considered as a continent.

Totally. My blue collar father took us all over the world every chance he got and it made us more aware and tolerant of other cultures and people. It is nothing but a good thing to get out of your bubble and experience different things.

@@deanjulian6189 duh ...North America is a continent

A little harsh saying that..sorry Tyler…I am Canadian❤️🇨🇦

Precisely.

Agreed. I have been doing online shopping for about 15 - 20 years. Usually with Canadian retailers as shipping costs tend to be cost prohibitive from U.S. retailers.

In Canada, Spotify fully launched April 28, 2017 but was available in 2014.

We also have horrible shipping costs

yup i've had a spotify account since 2015

As long as we do not act like my last upstairs neighbour (neighbor in US lol). He acted more like north Korean.

Omg. This is insanely accurate🤣

Yea, that's pretty accurate for me. I'm actually more concerned with paying attention to what the orange guy is doing than worrying about what my government is doing. Also finding the escapades of dark Brandon and company very entertaining.

Robin Williams once said “Canada is like a really nice apartment, above a meth lab.”

Glad to see I'm not the only one who tends to often see our American neighbour as Loud Stereo People 😉

not me, I would rather burn to death than freeze to death.

I have a legit fear of the heat.. I've actually had nightmares of burning to death and yeaaah .. no.

As someone who over heats easily I went to Florida for a week and almost passed out from heat exhaustion after like two hours so cold all the way

I had a heatstroke in southern Portugal, even though I was wearing a hat and hydrating. I love the cold!

I like the title "Great White North" made popular by Bob and Doug McKenzie.

That describes me to a T. A very long fuse with a ton of TNT on the end.

Exactly. And Americans tend to get angry quickly... It's not worth my energy or time to get into an argument. Not unless it's about something important.

Yeah we saw that this winter with all de blockades

And when we are confrontational we are anything but nice about it. Our national animal should have been the goose, not the beaver. Pretty chill until angry and then you better watch out! 🙂

@@SammywiseG Hahahaha we need to have the goose on our coins LOL

And autocorrect is more often then not. Autoincorrect when those differences come up🤪

I hate how it autocorrect makes me use the British spelling. I hate the look of certain words with the U. Color will always be color. Never colour in my mind -_-

@@HidanKitten32 Set your keyboard to US spelling then. If you're getting autocorrect in British English your keyboard is in that language. I have the opposite issue a lot.

@@NightRainPanda Actually it is set to (Canada) US but it's other programs like my mobile app messenager or word documents that make me want to do the British spelling. I don't really know how to change it on mobile but thanks for letting me know about the other. I think I did use the USA English on it before but changed back despite hating the unwanted Us for some reason I can not remember :/

@@HidanKitten32 If it's set to Canada its gonna recommend British spelling. Sorry your message confused me a little.

I’ve never been in court and hope to never be so I had no idea that the courts understand how much we say sorry lol. I’m so used to saying sorry for the most littlest things and things that r the other persons fault. I’ve had plenty of times where I was talking to my cousin who was on shift at the gas station and there was no1 else inside at the moment. But once some1 else walks in right up to the counter I’ll say sorry like 3 times in 1-2 sentences b4 leaving for them having another customer as an excuse to leave. I’d be saying sorry like every 5 fucking words. I don’t get how ppl from other countries be nice in such situations without saying sorry or something similar. Wudnt u just sound rude or lacking caring if u don’t say such?

@@baileydombroskie3046 context is important. Say sorry could be sarcastic or an other way to say "excuse me" it's a versatile word. It also looses some meaning when used so much. Regardless saying sorry isn't a politeness thing it's a guilty thing. When a Canadian is apologing they feel a little guilty. Even if it is not there fault we feel guilty and sorry for what is about to happen to you.

That’s the British heritage coming out.

@@jackierice4254 it's amazing how few people know that. There seems a to be an idea that we developed that trait on our own.

Not an American Canadian conflict, but an European conflict that the US had.

Just because we're online a lot, doesn't necessarily mean we're shopping Canadian, though. Amazon and Walmart are probably the online department stores of choice, and a lot of merch ships from the U.S. Up until the last few years, you'd be hard pressed to find smaller boutique stores who sell online in Canada. Search results for specialty items, like higher-end clothing and footwear, or computer equipment, would almost always return results from American stores, and often those stores wouldn't even ship to Canada. But I am finding stores in bigger centers like Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, are more online in the last, say 3-5 years. Still, when you order something from a Canadian store, it's often an outlet and very often the items are shipped from the U.S. because that's where the corporate HQ and warehouses are located, even though the manufacturing is outsourced to Mexico, Asia, etc.

@@charmingjinx9379 very good points. :)

Probably because the video is from 2017. We shop online so damn much now.

As someone from the UK who has only moved to Canada in Oct 2021. I find that Canada is quite old fashioned in its online shopping habits. Examples. In the Uk, the best price you will ever find for a product is on line, and normally only honoured on line as they can achieve the best price because they are not competing with shops who have expensive shop fronts to pay for. In Canada, a lot of major retailers don’t even publish their prices on line (home hardware, etc) so you have to visit the store to order. Also even the giants like Home Depot, you will often get better deals visiting the store than just ordering online. I think I saved about $1000 on not ordering on the website and just having a conversation in store. As an English person who has spent the last 30 years in retail management in the Uk (ok, I feel old) I do find the system in Canada refreshing, and please embrace it, because if it starts to change like the Uk, everything will revert to online, and you will lose the outlets. The same applies to other things like insurance, registration etc. if everything can be done online, you will start to lose small offices like SGI in local towns where they are probably most needed. Just an outsiders view on things that now lives here. 😃

there has bean a LOT of ONLINE shopping in Canada but IMHO a LOT of it was US stores opening a Canadian online store more then "home grown" Canadian stores going online

Very much so. There was a lot of things this video got wrong, or at least, not fully right, and that is 1 of those things.

Nope, they are the yanks of our country, the dumb ones, the ones who think they can separate from Canada, the gun lovers, the ill educated.

Absolutely! Thanks for saving me the effort :0). They don’t have a Quebec in America.

I absolutely agree with this. Alberta is definitely Canada's Texas. Oil and ranchers.

@@shellyfox863 And politically conservative.

We also have freedom of expression not freedom of speech. Huge difference in that we have very specific hate speech laws. We don’t have a constitution we have a charter of rights and freedoms. Gun ownership is not a right. Any type of gun. You cannot own a handgun except with a restricted possession licence and it’s restricted where it can be used and how it’s transported to and from a gun range. We are big hunters so guns are a part of our culture. Gun violence occurs when illegal guns come from the US.

Peace, order and good government isn't a general principle for the basis of the constitution. It is part of the division of powers section and is a federal power meant to act as somewhat of a "catch all" for issues that aren't specifically granted to an order of government (because it wasn't contemplated at the time). For example the regulation of aviation isn't granted to any level of government in the constitution, because planes and aviation didn't exist back then. As a result, the federal power to pass laws for the "peace, order and good government" catch all was used to default aviation regulation to the federal government. A more accurate comparison to the US "life liberty..." line is section 1 of the charter, which specifically outlines that all Canadian rights are subject to reasonable limits as can be reasonably justified in a free, democratic society.

the tenants of democracy - greater good for the group, and you give up certain rights in emergencies for the good of everyone.

​@@dww2006 we have both.

@@mking1982098 No, you're wrong. The POGG is the precise answer. It accommodates individuals and the collective, and is defined by the beholder (and the courts).

I've always considered Canada to be the younger sibling of the US. We got our own differences and Canadians sometimes make fun of Americans but in the end, we seriously look up to the US in our own ways.

​​@@Cry_ctisn't Americans from brttans or English??

Not all Americans are like that.

Sorry...I am sure he didn't mean to offend.

Exactly. We value cooperation.

Canadians can be pricks to lol just a lot less of us are lol

@@roderickmacsween2820 No need to be sorry. I'm Canadian. I know enough Americans to realize that many are open, friendly and respect other nations. But I have met the sort of Americans that give other Americans a bad name.

About 3 years ago I would have agreed with this comment, but I have a friend whole works in northern Alberta, and the majority of the road signs, store signs, and even signs leading up to the town on the highway are French, and the majority of the locals are more fluent in French then they are in English, I wonder if that would be the case the farther north we looked in other provinces?

And there is a large French population in Manitoba. Franco-Manitoban and Métis cultures.

We have Spotify in Canada .. what is that guy talking about???!!!

There are French speaking communities in Manitoba and there’s a French speaking city attached to the city of Winnipeg.

@@FronosElectronics yo sam, we have had spotify since 2014, the original video was made 5 years ago.

The meanest thing a Canadian will say is "leafs suck" 😂😂😂😂

Brampladesh

thats because our beer is way stronger loool

We definiteky have better beer in here with way higher alcool in it hahaha but they have nice artisanal breweries in the North-East now :)

You are so right next to the selections like in Belgium. Lololoool. We like our beer.

I have heard some say that Canada is just America^s backyard. Grrrrrrr.

We have Thanksgiving in October, do not associate it with Christmas and is not as big a to-do as the American holiday.

I’ve never seen bagged milk on the west coast. It’s an eastern thing for sure.

No provinces west of Onatario have bagged milk

We had bagged milk on the west coast BC until at least 2001. We used to buy it all the time when my kids were little.

I remembered bagged milk when I was young in western Canada but now it definitely is an eastern thing.

Better storage and less plastic waste

There is no secure, direct bank to bank transfers in the US, but they us third party apps to do similar things, like Venmo. Because if money is moving around in the US somebody has to be making a cut.

I'm in the US now and I think it's because the banks are too small to manage security. My bank in the US only has 7 branches! In Canada I think there are only 7 banks!

Written well before Trump lowered the bar...Sorry he crushed democracy...build it back "for the people"

so true

And the like 2 Americans I’ve meet were just assholes or not that nice per say. They never seemed so polite as to wat I’m used to.

America is a continent not a country.

@@deanjulian6189 no, North America, and South America are continents. Unless a new one popped up I wasn't aware of. Also, citizens of the United States are often simply referred to as "Americans", and if you ever made the mistake of calling a Canadian an American, you would likely be immediately corrected. :)

Plus we are more aware of and more inclined to point out the differences between the countries.

Pierre also said Fuddle Duddle. LOL

I read an interesting fact that shows how big Canada really is. St. John's, Newfoundland is closer to London, England than it is to Vancouver, British Columbia. I just googled the distances because I was curious as to how far it is. St. John's Newfoundland is 3,735 km, 2,321 miles, away from London, England. St. John's Newfoundland is 7,075km, 4,396 miles, away from Vancouver, British Columbia. I didn't realise it was THAT much of a difference though.

@@deenahill7666 That is really cool .

I moved from east coast to the west and I really struggled with the culture shock. Completely different felt like I moved to another country.

@@AM-mc8uq I hear ye . I recently went to Ontario for me brothers wedding , and life is so different . I don't know how many people said "You must be from The Maritimes" . I guess we stand apart . I felt like a fish outta water . We're all pulling together down here after ol' Fiona kicked the stuffin outta us . Still no power since Friday night , but the good news is our chickens didn't drown . Our neighbours up the road, theirs drowned 😥 . Take care

Yes they both have online shopping is used a lot in Canada and we have Spotify!!

As a Canadian who grew up In the US, commercially speaking Canada used to be about 20 years behind the US. We are slowly catching up but still behind. Not so in terms of social policy.

Since English and French are National languages in Canada, Most road signs are bi-lingual. Except in Quebec. ( French Only ) 🤷‍♂🤔

@@mrbaddog4749 You'll find bilingual road sings in New Brunswick (officially bilingual province) and some parts of Ontario when a threshold of French speaking person is reached (5000 people or 10% of population). Bilingual road signs are mandatory at federal level (national parks, airports, some bridges...) even in Québec. Elsewhere, it's in English only.

@@mrbaddog4749 when I was out west once I saw road signs in English and Japanese

@@laurabailey1054 that’s probably would’ve been Mandarin or Cantonese. There’s a large Chinese population in parts of British Columbia

No, most of the western provinces populations do not grow up learning much French. We learned a few words in Elementary school, then took French class in Middle school, and in most High schools you can choose other languages to learn. I remember a few French simple sentences, but not enough to understand anything if it is spoken to me. I deplore this, I think it should be taught more aggressively in regular public schools here, and not just have limited French Immersion spots for our children to learn both official languages.

I’ve had Spotify for over four years. I’m in BC.

Same I never really kept up with French my grades are were above 93 but I pretty much can only greet people I. French and a some words just because just after their eummer

US didn't lose 1812

@@johnwillson1264 America didn't lose 1812 go do research, when you burn a house doesn't mean you won a war. And no Canada didn't burn the white house stop spreading this lie

@@wiseandstrong3386 Yes the US did lool. US started an invasion which failed... Canada never lost any territory.. IDK how u can win a war when u failed all ur objectives

haha your last sentence made me laugh. I'm from Québec and most of the time when French is badly translated in the same way as you described, I'll go on the English side to make sure I've done everything properly XD

aw come on... "good government"??? we've gotta get rid of Trudeau

​@@dbpoolagreed!!!!!!!

Good government??m what a joke! We are a laughing stock of the world. Canada is destroyed because of the liberals.

Except "peace, order and good government" is not our motto. It's merely a part of our constitution. Our motto "A mari usque ad mare" which is Latin for "From coast to coast".

well the charter of rights went out the window for the last two year and they erased the freedoms part of it

The way I saw it described was the US is the melting pot, and Canada is a mosaic. So in the US it all becomes one. In Canada differences are just part of the pattern.

@@AL-fl4jk grade 6, not 6th grade lol

I wish I had read your excellent comment before I left my rambling one. Yes, what you said!

embrace your differences and share them. If its really different and maybe messed up....that just makes it interesting.

Oh for heavens sake! Of course I learned about the War of 1812,the Spanish-American and all the other wars. WHO ARE you people??

@@dianehogan2471 well u might of been but clearly he wasn't

What I remember about the War of 1812 is that the British were claiming American merchant sailors were British and impressing them is to service. Accents hadn't diverged much then. It's interesting to see the Canadian perspective. I'm sure we learned about the involvement of Canadians, but specific facts aren't coming to mind.

@@jenniferpearce1052 Your Whitehouse was burned to the ground!

@@jenniferpearce1052 Most of them WERE British sailors, who, probably deserted as the British navy at the time, treated their members of the armed forces, like animals! ( Flogged for minor offences, hanged for honest mistakes, poor food and accommodations, etc)

We tend not to talk about them with anyone other than other Canadians I've found unless directly asked. So to the outside it looks like we are pretending we have no problems when in reality it's just that it's not anyone elses business.

Yeah I live in Regina it goes from -40 in February to 38 in June

-40C to plus 32C here (Quebec city). I HEARTILY concur. There is NOTHING else you can take off when you are wearing just a pair of shorts and still dying from the heat. But if you are cold, you can get warm with a few little layers.

@@TheJimprez Victoria average summer high 20 C average low in the winter 3 C.

Reading the other comments here confirms my thoughts that EVs' are currently (no pun intended) unsuitable for our climate unless you move very short distances or like to sit in unheated vehicles for hours while trying to coax a cold battery to accept a partial charge.

@@niemi5858 You know that Electricity becomes more efficient in cold right? plus Electric cars have prestart to warm them while in you sit in your kitchen. With Sodium Ion batteries being a possible future, we could look forward to even cheaper cars, and Canada can produce huge amounts of clean energy (If the government got its shit together we could have some of the cheapest/Cleanest energy in the world). Luckily they're rebuilding our efforts into miniature nuclear reactors, so even small isolated cities could start producing more then enough for their grid. so I don't get what you're talking about, if we stuck with the old way of making batteries sure, but I think you should lookup some facts on our newer understanding of Electrical engineering, We are in the prime location for EVs. The biggest issue we have is our dollar is tied to Oil, so the government doesn't have motivation to properly move to a complete switch.

Bonus, bonus fun fact. Canada did not burn down the Whitehouse, the British did. Specifically a unit from the West Indies.

Americans have WAY more wars to keep track of...if you forget about the ones where we are supporting America...almost none.

Canada didn't exist until 1867 soit was the British not Canada.

How's that college education working for you. 😆

@@robertzarb2355 What's your point? Were you confused because you are slow? Does someone really need to draw the connection for you? Does somebody need to explain how the British forces that occupied Canada at that time were in fact defending Upper Canada, if you want to be pedantic about it? You do understand that the region known as Canada was established long before the nation was officially formed? Do you understand that those British colonists are the ones who BECAME Canada?

@@ChrisBensler Yeah...NERD FIGHT

They don't really live in igloos either at least not generally.

They're not hardcore. Ça fait partie de leurs coûtumes et traditions...

Ontario its in bags for 4L

Manitoba... never seen a bag of milk in my life.

Not here in the Maritimes (at least in my province), either. We used to have them back in the 70s and early 80s, but it's mostly cartons these days.

Only Canadians I've ever heard talk about milk in bags are from Ontario

​@@Caffeinegoesinface and from Québec

Just coming to say this. This guy picked a WAY OUTDATED video to react to. We have Spotify, we have online shopping. And we go nuts for hockey.

In Canada, Spotify fully launched April 28, 2017 but was available in 2014

I find this guy offering info on Canada doesn’t know what he’s talking about

To bad the U S doesn't teach about Canada in their schools.

Bagged milk in Canada is most prevalent in the Province of Ontario. Ontarians can also purchase milk in waxed cardboard cartons and in plastic returnable/recyclable jugs if they choose, but the bags are cheaper. Bagged milk has a number of advantages; Dairy automation equipment can fill milk into bags much faster and cheaper than filling cartons or jugs. The bags to contain milk are recyclable and melt down to about a cubic inch of plastic material, reducing plastic use. Every bag of milk is a fresh virgin plastic bag.....returnable jugs are often used for other purposes, such as waste engine oil, and then get rinsed out and returned to the store for the deposit rebate. Bagged milk can easily be transferred to a glass pitcher or the whole bag is inserted into a plastic pitcher and the corner of the bag is snipped open to pour from. One gallon of milk is packaged in three clear plastic bag portions and bagged into an outer plastic bag....much more durable than one would think...I've never had a bag of milk brake, even rolling around in the trunk of the car. Canada has a 'Dairy Board' that establishes milk prices to protect Canadian dairy farmers and prevents most American dairy products from entering and competing in Canada. As a result, Canadians pay twice as much for dairy products (milk, cheese, butter, cream and even eggs).

@@chrisgraham2904 Also bagged milk has a longer refrigerated shelf live compared to carton milk.

@@chrisgraham2904 I would LIKE to see BAG milk return to WESTERN Canada as it fits better in the fridge then a jug of milk

@@chrisgraham2904 Ontarian here. Knew most of these, but still learned some more. Thanks man :p

I remember bagged milk in B.C. the worst part was sometimes on the way home, it would spring a leak in one of the 3 bags.

Yeah - Americans seem to think it is normal to be scared for your life all the time; they have a strong need for self-protection and weaponry to feel a degree of safety. Canadians are much more laid back - the RCMP will do their job. I am 99.9% safe.

@@anomiceleven Apparently the idea of leaving your door unlocked while at home is crazy to Americans! Not sure if that's true

Better shipping options in the US

Well, freezing to death is definitely excruciatingly painful. It just ends more pleasantly I guess lol

Also we have Pandora as well. Many locations before the pandemic

Yeah, I don't know what the heck that guy was smoking on that particular point. Even to go ahead and say many businesses "don't even have a website." Uh...???

Although Quebec is a pretty huge part on its own, lol! However the french crown negotiated that right for francophone canadienne as part of the treaty of 1763.

25% of Canadian's first language is french. This seems like a western Canadian comment

Winners, Marshalls and Homesense are the big ones that come to mind. They have a website but no online shopping.

I've lived in Canada all my life and I've never seen bagged milk

You could argue this about any province though, or about any American state.

@@k______.. Quebec is the only place in America where the majority of people speak French, as French speakers we are different in culture from the rest of Canada, and as Canadians we are different from the United States, i wouldn't want to be american

Also our schooling system is different. we don't have middle schools, highschool finishes at grade 11, and college and university are separate institutions & you typically have to go to college (2-3 years) before you can go to university

So does Newfoundland…

when you remember there are french canadians all over Canada, it doesn't seem so different

We visited Canada in 2015 and 2016 and were asked about what was going on in U.S. politics frequently. Another key difference is the length of time when political campaings begin and end. Here in the U.S. there is no time when a campaign is not in progress.

The political ads are just something else

Great video. As a Canadian who lived in the US for several years, there are more nuanced differences that one experiences. But, Canadian healthcare, while a great thing, is very misunderstood by Americans. Frankly, the healthcare I received in California (at a great cost to my employer) surpassed the healthcare I get in Canada. However, if one has no insurance, Canada has far better healthcare.

It is a laughably small amount of snow when they go "that's enough, shut it all down!!" Lol

I agree. We're not all as community minded as he says. In 2022, a lot of Canadians do not like their government. When we say sorry, it's not an apology, it's the same as saying 'pardon me' or 'excuse me'. We're not all passive agressive but most are warm and polite. Some of the differences might be because Canada's population is only about 38 million as opposed to the U.S being around 335 million which is about 10 times as many people. I have been to the U.S. many times and found the people very friendly ... Happy to be Canadian.

From what I understand, the rest of the world sees the Canadian flag as a sign of freedom. Especially when the truckers were waving them. The Canadian government exploited the pandemic to inflate the currency supply and manipulate people's human rights. When the truckers went to Ottawa waving the Canadian flag, it was a sign to countries around the globe, to protest peacefully against government over reach.

@@cmdrlucas6949 The Canadian government’s management of the pandemic wasn’t perfect, but Canada had a significantly lower death rate from it than the USA, where the key principle was pandering to adult children who refused to believe science and refused to think of any need to make personal sacrifices during a national emergency. And yes, it WAS a national emergency; the worst one since World War II. I shudder to think how that war would have turned out if the citizens of the various Allies were as self-centered as many Americans were during the pandemic.

@@davidbarts6144 You know little of the facts David. Look at the information coming out in the lawsuits against the government over the mandates. The so called "science" was propaganda not science at all and the people that were making the decisions for the mandates were not doctors or health care professionals at all. They say it is easier for a person to be fooled than to convince them that they were fooled. You are one of those people David.

The Canadian flag is a flag. I love my country, I love its people, I love Tim's. It has its faults, and I want to see them corrected so it can be better. I don't need a rag on a pole to be patriotic.

@@davebrittain9216 Oh, I am one of *those* people, am I? Do tell more.

All road signs are not in both official languages, at least in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan to name a few.

@Monica Tomaras true but all federal signs are and all food products have both lables

@@mrburns91 except for food labels in Asian markets, those can be in any language ...for some reason the government doesn't notice

Yes, and Québec is only french (no english on signs, at all, no no, not allowed) and New Brunswick is the only officially bilingual province.

​@@SB4F Probably because they're imported products. Imported products often have different labling rules ... For example the stuff that is imported from England is only in English and never has any french on it even if it sold here in Canada. So yeah it's probably because stuff in Asian grocery stores are imported... So it keeps its local labling.

Agreed. This is the definition of melting pot vs. mosaic that I have always understood, not what the guy in the video said.

I can have a cab driver say that’s lived in Canada for 20+ years and can’t understand them. It’s not against them because 5 of them live in one house and all work. They do it smart five adults working can buy 5 other homes to rent and make that money

@@jones8821 That sounds like a fantastic way of life. You should start doing that too. You won't be able to afford a home soon, if you don't adapt to their culture. Yay Mosaic.

This is how I have always seen it as well

also kerb pickup is commonly offered at most "big" stores to the POINT that Canadian tire claimed that 35% of there sales are online started and instore / kerb / delivery almost every large store have dedicated online pickup parking stalls and even IKEA now have lockers outside for after hours pickup Home Depot and Rona (Canadian brand owned by Lowes) have lockers for online orders / instore pickup) Post is SLOW in Canada compared to the USA and instore pickup I believe is more important in Canada as it is same day NOT mid week from now

Don’t forget post-secondary education also includes training in trades like Heavy Duty Mechanics, electrician, plumber, etc.

the USA spotify WAS and IS BLOCKED from Canada (and MOST countries) due to licencing BUT there is a CANADIAN division of Spotify that has all the licences for Canada in place same with NetFlix and it is "famously" different then the USA counterpart and often regarded as "inferior" because some studios WONT licence them there content so they CAN NOT play it in Canada and VPN's that "location shift" is a common tool to get the USA Netflix to the point that is a selling feature they advertise

Oh yeah i've only seen and used milk bags once or twice here in NL, the rest of the time it's in cartons or cans(condensed), or plastic bottles for milkshakes and such.

I think it is mostly due to cost and environmental reasons. No idea why it never found its way west.

@@ccibinel it did find its way out west! We had bagged milk in the general Vancouver area up til the mid 80s I think. Loved it. Easier to store in the fridge, stayed fresh because you only opened like a litre and a bit at a time, and it was always satisfying to slam the pitcher down on the counter to 'set' the bag firmly in the pitcher before cutting the hole. I remember when the plastic jugs came in - tasted like plastic. Miss the bagged milk!

I live in Atlantic Canada and have never seen bagged milk here. It comes in 2 liter cartons and 4 liter jugs.

@@crowfoot1199 Bagged milk was in Saskatchewan in the 80-90's.

Then there are those like myself who just don't like the whole "all your purchases are tracked" aspect of online buying (or just buying with credit cards in general).

yup I think we actually have more death from heath than cold each years. how ironic

Rarely does southwestern ontario get to -40C where it also gets to 40C

*did you mean: the prairies?* hahaha. no but seriously you haven't experienced extreme whiplash bipolar weather until you've lived in saskatchewan, manitoba, or alberta for a year. you experience -60 sometimes with the wind chill. just last year we had maybe a total of a week, maybe closer to two, of -60 weather.

@@donaldcake1 I'd agree with -30 to 40, we had that last summer

Check out Rick Mercer talking to Americans about Canada. It's very funny.

Southern Californian come to Ontario for the skiing not realizing Oregon and Washington is north of Southern Ontario.

@@michaelgarrison688 You should check out Northern Ontario in July if you want good skiing.

@@jeffreycairns767 I was born in Matheson on January 1,1964 1:12 am because my father could not make it to Timmims. The first new year's baby, the only new year's baby, the only baby born in January in Matheson. So I am well aware. And I HATE THE COLD. lol When I went on vacation, many many decades ago, I was considered a local as I wore a sweater in Arizona.

@@michaelgarrison688 LOL. OK so if your aware of Timmins then you know Northern Ontario. It's amazing how many Americans show up in places like Ontario and ask how much further to reach snow in the summer.

@Sarah's Story Chronicle When he started talking about the longest unprotected border in the world, my first thought was "our friendship is legendary!" Yes and no. In both World Wars Canada sided with the allies from the beginning. The U.S. that likes to claim THEY won both wars had to be dragged in kicking and screaming. In WWII the U.S. didn't have contingency plans to aid the allies but did have contingency plans to invade Canada. Just about every war since Canadian independence had Canada side with the U.S. and other allies. When Canada didn't agree to directly send troops to Iraq (while sending more to Afghanistan to free up U.S. troops) the American ambassador stated "they will have to expect retaliation", retaliation for WHAT? Bush had gone on and on about how the U.S. didn't need help and constantly snubbed Canada since taking office. Why did the U.S. expect Canada to automatically directly help with every place they chose to invade especially with Bush's behaviour to Canada and statements about not needing help? The undefended border is more a realization that either side attacking the other is pretty stupid. The disparity in size means that yes the U.S. could occupy Canada. It would be stupid as they would be wrecking the economy of their biggest trading partner and doing severe damage to their own. They'd also have nearly 40 million people who can if they want blend into the U.S. population pretty easily for acts of "resistance" that the U.S. would of course call "terrorism". Why take on that much of a headache and economic loss?
