Just when I start to think that I cannot be any more shocked about the differences between America and Canada, I stumble upon this gem of a video. I am very excited to react and learn about over 30 bizarre Canadian facts from an American point of view. I also love that these are BIZZARE facts! I can only hope that is implying that they are extra strange. If you enjoy my reaction feel free to leave a like, comment, or subscribe for more videos like this!

The weirdest law I am aware of specific to Toronto, Ontario was that it is Illegal to drag a dead horse down Yonge Street in Toronto on a Sunday.
@patrick3876
@patrick3876 Год назад
That is one of my favorites, along with the "No ice cream on Bank street on Sundays" in Ottawa. There is quite literally a Dairy Queen on Bank street, and they are very much open on Sundays, just another law that isn't enforced as it's ridiculous and would probably just cost taxpayers money to have the law rescinded, so it's just easier to not enforce it at all instead. While there is a specific law regarding dragging a dead horse on Yonge street on a Sunday, it's most likely illegal under the Highway Traffic Act to drag any kind of dead animal on any street on any day of the week (even if not a specific law, maybe they apply the "unsecured load" law instead for example).

That law about craving a dead horse , I was told that back when all transport was by horse a lot of buisnesses Kept stables in the city and horses would die . During the week they were busy, and streets were crowded so they waited till Sunday to get rid of them . You can imagine what the reaction was to a bunch of dead horses being drug past during church service

painting a wooden ladder is a safety concern as a fresh coat of paint can disguise a small crack that would otherwise result in rejection of the ladder. In many industrial settings, you will never even find a wooden ladder anymore.

Yes, the Alberta "ladder law" is somewhere under the Health & Safety regulations. And as you say, it's because painting a ladder can cover up rotted wood or incipient cracks. Back when wooden stepladders were still a common item, they were all bare wood (and I think most were manufactured locally). I actually owned a wooden extension ladder that was painted, for a time. The ladder was given to me by our local RCMP constable when he moved - go figure. As for most of the rest of these, they sound like either a) ancient and out of date, or b) b.s.

I live in Victoria, BC, home of the supposed balloon animal ban. I hadn't heard of this one, but street performers usually work right along a stretch of the city's harbour. I assume the ban is to prevent balloons from ending up in the ocean where they can interfere with sensitive marine life.

I grew up in Victoria and was definitely never given a balloon animal. There's a whole vibe on the island to protect the environment, especially animals, so it makes sense it's a law. Esquimalt is also in the Greater Victoria area and is pronounced Esk-WY-malt. A lot of our towns and cities are named after indigenous words for the area.

For reference, a lot of these laws are old and just haven't been rescinded. They're also not sending police into every house to check bath levels 😂 so quite a few of these are rarely enforced haha. Although the Canadian Broadcasting Standards DO enforce the 1/3 of media has to be Canadian made/produced. Funny story, I was helping a friend move once and she had a corn snake. Because we had to pack everything, that means we had to transport his big tank, although she didn't have a smaller tank to transport the snake in separately. She coiled him up and put him safely in her purse, and we were on our way. We decided to stop for coffee. As we're standing at the cashier inside the cafe, my friend didn't realize there was a hole in her purse, and the snake had found it. Lol Halfway through placing her order, the cashier steps back and says 'Is... Is that yours?" 😂 Pointing at the counter, the snake had started slithering right out of her purse onto the cafe counter. She was so embarrassed and apologized profusely, and I was just laughing my ass off the while time. 🤣 Ps. A good video to react to would be some sort of "top 20 Canadian bands/artists" or something along those lines.

yes...we used to be able to buy a mechanical siren that was driven by the front wheel.

Imagine driving down the street and hearing a siren, pulling over and stopping and...no police car, no fire truck, no ambulance...WTF. Bike sirens emitted the classic wailing sound that was common for sirens in the 1940s and 1950s.

I’m from Sudbury, Ontario and , yes, 50 years ago I did have a siren on my bike. They used to sell these toys at the local hardware store and as a kid, it made playing cops and robbers with my friends awesome. But we had some deputy police service guy who used to sell bicycle licenses through the primary schools and he had city council apply weird by-laws to cycling in order to help him sell more of these licenses. He later was fired after it was discovered that he and some corrupt councillors were embezzling the money. This is why we still have a few strange bylaws regarding cycling on the books in Sudbury to this day.

Canadian content regulations (CanCon) exist on radio and television for exactly the reason you mention; there is so much content from around the world, and Canadian content has historically been considered “lesser-than”, which meant there was little room for Canadian artists on commercial broadcasts (little financial incentive for broadcasters to run anything but the most globally popular items). Interestingly, due to these content laws (maintained by the CRTC), most Canadians have Canadian artists and programs amongst their favourites; additionally, Canadian artists have more of a platform from which to launch themselves both nationally and internationally (think Drake on Degrassi, then onto international fame). These regulations predate the internet by several decades, and didn’t account for the fact that platforms like RU-vid have granted more exposure for everyone (ie Justin Bieber, Tate McRae). Some people don’t like CanCon on principle (free-market, laissez-faire ideals), but most people either aren’t aware of it or simply don’t think about it, as realistically the content that makes it to radio is usually competitive enough to hold its own once given a platform. Thanks for these vids. Keep up the nice work.

There are many seemingly petty or just plain silly laws in municipalities across any country.

That plus the fact that a mostly otherwise anonymous municipal official can be credited with having a local law written under their name for posterity. Most are unenforced or impossible to enforce.

19:00 The mandatory Canadian content rule was implemented by the Canadian government broadcast regulatory agency over 50 years ago when it was felt that American (and British) music artists would overwhelm Canadian radio at the expense of homegrown talent. The same was true of Canadian TV stations, which the private ones (not CBC, the "state" broadcaster) would be 100% American shows if not for mandatory Canadian content regulation. The radio regs don't say "all content" , but just music by artists. Popular music is 35%, jazz format stations are lower and classical music much lower yet. Years ago, a Toronto radio station got the rights to air Howard Stern's morning radio show on a daily basis. Some people were offended by the content and complained to the regulators with the excuse of "not being Canadian Content" . They couldn't do anything because the regs only applied to the 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 the radio station airs. No regulations for spoken-word content.

I know when I was 6-7 (I'm 48 today) years old, my mom was hanging clothes to dry them. I also remembered hearing in the news that japanese were coming here in Quebec because they were intrigued about clothe lines and they were buying them en masse.

As a kid I would help my mother colour the margarine. It was white and came in a pouch with a red dot of colour and you massaged it until the colour spread throughout. Or there was a colour dot in the package and you mixed it with an eggbeater. The law was passed to protect the dairy industry from this upstart make believe butter called margarine.

Just a note about the video. The K is silent in Etobicoke, so it’s pronounced like Etobicko with equal stresses on each syllable. It’s one of the six districts of Toronto (Along with North York, East York, York, Scarborough, and Old Toronto). It’s also home to the largest Airport in Canada and (usually) among the top 10 busiest in North America. Traffic is down substantially because of Coronavirus, but it is still top 20.

Just something I have noticed, they have said that Canada comes from a Iroquois word for village, Kanata. Their reasoning was it sounded the similar and the settlers thought that the word meant the land. I have noticed that is southern France, near to the area controlled by the Knights Templar, there is a village that is named La Canéda. When spoken in French and with a French accent, it sounds the same as a person with a French accent saying Canada. The history of this village dates back to 1410 AD and that was before Columbus sailed the blue. When Columbus came over to the Caribbean he names many places after areas and villages in Portugal. Columbus spoke fluent Portuguese and prior to his he return to Spain he stopped in Lisbon to have an audience with the King of Portugal .He also spoke Spanish and no Italian. His children begged him to reveal his birth place, which he never did. So maybe just maybe when the French explorers who came to Canada have a hand in naming Canada or maybe it is just a big fat coincidence. Google it, as it does exist even today.

Canada is still 35% artists on radio and the result has created about 33% Canadian in the airplay and TOP 100 hits in the USA AND this also affected USA based TV and FILM with most every series, every night, having a Canadian in a leading role. The Weekend, Drake, Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Shawn Mendes, and hundreds of Canadians are a third of the music heard in the USA

As a typical Canadian, I have heard of a few of these laws, but, most are new to me... The first one being amongst those, but, I have a feeling I know how it likely came about: If you visit the truly ancient farms in Quebec, such as those on the Island of Orleans, just across from Quebec city, you will note that several of the farmhouses from the 1600s to the 1800s have a small window (breadbox sized) generally near the midpoint of the house; this was the WINTER dairy room, where the family cow would live during the freezing winters of the time, so the children could have fresh milk, year round. I am guessing that the farm houses in French Acadia (Today's Newfoundland and Nova Scotia) likely had the same feature, made illegal after the British conquest; I am only guessing but, it's the only logical reason for such a law that I can think of!

There are a few that I have never heard of. I think for the bad smell law, it is more for those who have not properly bathed. From experience, sometimes the worst cases of non-bathers can really smell up a place and the smell tends to linger even after they leave. This can make other customers really angry, and sadly it is hard to serve these customers as it is hard to breathe a certain distance from them. The few that I know that are the worst offenders are not homeless, they just did not care. Luckily my boss just banned the worst offender until they would properly bathe instead of calling the police. Although, I am not sure if she knew about that law. I have memories of my grandmother adding food coloring to large tubs of margarine and mixing it in a stand mixer to make it look better. Margarine was, and still is, much cheaper than butter. For the swearing in public parks in Toronto, I think it is a law that is mainly targeting the homeless people or drug addicts that are congregating in the parks. Some of these people can not control what is coming out of their mouths. Sadly, there are a lot of laws that seem to be made to mainly target homeless people. Going up to someone who is shouting profanities just to slap them is very dangerous, do not do this.

The panel members then had to try to identify the law that was being broken. It was a very entertaining show. Here's a clip. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UjO1qK2GAY8.html

The cow as a pet made me laugh. When I was a firefighter for a small town in Ontario, we had a couple who we were called out too often. They had cows roaming their yard and always left their front door open and the cows were constantly walking inside. The home as you can imagine was... let's say not very clean and we always dreaded a call there. Without going too far with a description, some of the guys would say they wished they could put their SCBA (air tank with mask) on when going inside.

Mama Sita’s annatto powder comes in little 10 gram packs so in recipes calling for Birds Eye Custard (turns yellow), you can actually add annatto powder to regular corn starch (white). I’ve used annatto powder and plain cornstarch to make Nanaimo bars (Canadian dessert with yellow icing layer on chocolate nut butter base and topped with melted chocolate

(Yes in Canada, although I'm sure more Americans own Pythons comparatively). Also there are many people that still have horses and sleighs, so not quite as uncommon as you might think, even my aunt has one she gets her horses to tow around now and then for throwing hay for the other horses, random rides for fun or parades. Yes there is enough snow to have sleighs going down main streets in the winter.
