American Reacts to Canadian News | #17 

42C over here in a few hours

Yeah it's shmasty out. My lucky ass has an air-conditioned basement apartment so I am set at least, but my work place sucks, especially with humidity

It's 32 already this morning....SW Ontario. It's HOT..

I'm so looking forward to winter and blizards.

47C downtown Montréal, tomorrow afternoon

I worked outdoors in Kamloops BC for a few years. Although not common, it reached 40o C many times in the summer months. Although, it's dry heat with 20% humidity. Yes, it's a desert with sagebrush and rattle snakes. I'm going there tomorrow interestingly enough, well, interesting to me, as I now live in another country.

Yeah the ignorance is strong with some Americans.

@@canadianpoker83 To be fair, Canadians who think a place like Dallas, Texas is literally year-round summer is just as ignorant! Most Canadians think that. Trust me on that one! Think outside the box and you'll realize the ignorance goes both ways - Canadians being just as ignorant as Americans in that way!

@@canadianpoker83it feels like an act or an exaggeration

Indeed like here in Montreal

It's always too hot or too cold, Our Toronto weather just can't make up its mind. La Nina Blizzards one day to El Nino Heatwaves another.

Come over to Alberta! We get a dry hot lol.

@@Evilslayer73 Exactly! It's already getting humid here in Montreal, and the heatwave is just beginning! Someone told me the humidex was gonna be 45 (113) on Thursday. I hope they were just misinformed.

@@timithius That is what I heard for tomorrow. I am an hour north of Montreal and 28C (39C with humidity) already :(

Yeaaaaaahhh but then he got to NWT and I was like nevermind!

@@mw-wl2hm Do you do a Channel about the USA do you know many other Americans looking up Canadian news or even doing anything with Reddit that's what I meant by work this was just one video watch others which have many reactions of the same thing is it what we're doing right now reactions and personally I don't care about the UK videos I care about an American to a Canadian UK should already know anyways they're part of the colonization of Canada until full Independence in 1931 and the UK and Canada have a lot of similar things within history politics etc.

Exactly! We get from -40c in winter to +40c in summer... Its just how it is here, and we deal with this shit. Its literally 80 degrees shift from one season to he other.

Yes and the "difference" is even bigger if using °F. -40 is the same for both but 40C is 104F

Our entire climate can be realistically compared to the daily climate of a desert, deserts at night are freezing while scorching hot in the day. Canada is freezing cold in the winter and burning hot in the summer.

And then there's us in saskatchewan: 40 - Shorts weather and still drinking a double-double, 30 - Shorts weather, 20 - Shorts weather, 10 - Shorts weather, 0 - Shorts weather, -10 - Shorts weather, -20 maybe time for pants, -30 probably bundle up a bit, -40 yeah, it's cold, but if my car will start I'm still getting a slurpee

@@brytonluxton7105 haha some in Ontario act like this too! I love taking pics of people wearing shorts in February.

-40 BBQ

as a Newfie this is reversed :D

100% right-had a job in b.c next to vancouver and it was -14 but with the windchill -21 man felt like my ears and nose were going to break and shattr if i hit them hard ,and yes i was wearing a whole head touqe with just 2 eye slots and thats that ,then just had on a regular touqe with my hood up and was still cold ,but in july(haha my birth month) it gets close to37 with the humidity at like 40, its like ur in Australia

Already had to hose myself down twice today

It's definitely pretty nasty out today. I'm trying to keep indoors because it's so damn hot and humid.

Try working outside in this heat 😅

Ontario has a humidity factor of 60-70% though. That's why I moved to Alberta. 30-40% up here. Way less sweating. But the winters are trash up here.

It’s been hotter in Ontario. Amy you must be young. The planet has been much hotter.

Sounds like canada

I was working construction in Toronto that year. I never got sun burned, ever. and one day in april I got a severe burn in less than 15 minutes. That is when I started to believe in climate change.

Heat dome in BC a couple years ago hit 49C at its worst in places. That's just a couple degrees off death valley hot. It was brutal.

It gets to 40's every summer without humidity factored in, at least in Toronto it does. We always have a few days each summer that reach 40s. Few years back we went to woodbine beach when it was 42 (following day was 44), I had to restrain myself not to jump in the lake with my nice clothes on 🤣 My face felt like it was melting off! The Americans on my friends list were like ''42 is cold wdym?!'', I'm like that's in the 100s farenheit. Canada always experiencing classical PMS.

@@Playingwith3D If big cities planted more trees and have less cement and things like that it would help with the heat. This is my personal belief on why climate is changing fast. There's enough proof on how one tree helps. So plant those trees cities! That's how Trudeau should concentrate on when it comes to climate change and not to tax us over the moon that wont change shit.

I didn’t have AC back in 95 and my house had a lot of fans running. I also went swimming in my neighbour’s pool.

Lytton reached 49.6 C but we didn't get the humidity. Sadly, almost all the town burned down the next day.

I have worked paving roads in 42 degrees Celcius many tiimes in the interior of BC. That's hot. Not as hot as Lyton or Osoyoos but still hot. Paving in that heat necessitates that you move slow and conserve every ounce of energy that you can. Tough sledding. I have seen 45 degrees C in Trail BC but wasn't paving in it. The saving grace is low humidity. Pretty dry.

The thing that most people dont appreciate about blue collar construction work is that you are not stuck in an office all day with some dickhead looking over your shoulder. You also get a lot of laughs on a construction crew that just doesn't happen in an office. You can swear at will. No one gives a shit.

Apt was at 49C, outside was 42C where I'm at. After living through being baked alive I bought an AC the moment they were back in stock. Some lady bought an $8000 dollar portable "luxury" AC, the last in stocks at Cdn tire as I was walking in hoping to find one. If I'd had the money I would have payed that and more too.

@@Sharon-bo2se Québec city got the same but with the humidity

I'm currently visiting Vancouver, and the house I'm staying in, which is a nice house 30 years old, on a narrow lot on the south east side, but nothing spectacular, is worth $1.9 million dollars.

The government of Canada is taxing the heck out of everyone and making no new housing that people can afford these days! It's criminal what this government has done to Canada!

You've got that right. No a/c in my work truck, so air conditioning is roll down the windows on the highway, lol.

Still in highschool and I can say the bus was actually miserable People were dripping everywhere

@@flyingbeaver57 ahhh is it UPS. Sorry to hear that.

@@BreadGood_21 ahhhh, There is a good life after high school. Keep going.😃

@@Manydiamonds123 ik man regular class is over I just got 2 exams left and I’m free

I'm so grateful for our cool rainy weather this year in northern BC. Hate breathing smoke. 😢

It was 42C where I'm at at the worst point of the heat dome. My apartment has 3 sides facing the sun and I didn't have an AC at the time so it got to 49C inside. Brutal. Never again I hope.

I remember a year later Portugal and Spain were breaking national records for heat and they weren't as high as Canada.

I was just thinking about that hot week with how cold it is this week.

That day my thermometer read 51.5ºC (124.7º F), just north of Lytton, in Lillooet. The Lillooet weather station is higher up at the airport, the town is always hotter than what the official is listed as.

Otherwise known as the “Government Drugstore” as my grandparents use to call it 😂

Luckily it doesn't matter as much when they strike since you can buy alcohol in grocery stores now, although I do prefer to give my money to the government over Loblaws or Walmart.

Think of the strike as a temporary prohibition. Scary the LCBO has that power.

​​@@RyanStonedonCanadianGamingQuebec would just get all the business ... You can buy beer in pretty much any corner store and the SAQ ain't going nowhere. I live in Gatineau and if the LCBO and beer store went on strike I wouldn't even notice.

@@updaterequired1173 do you know what LCBO is abbreviated for?

They said I was daft to build a city in a swamp, but I built one anyway, just to show 'em.

Muddy York

😂

Me too

I pray he never changes his intro

Me too! Well, except for the guy part. And now that I’m thinking about it… “typical” might be a little strong…😂

@@LePetitNuageGris same

I remember the weather in Winnipeg, all the water around makes it incredibly sticky hot there. Dry heat means you can feel your skin drying up and wrinkling. That’s the dry mountain heat.

@@redrose-wb4bw we have the 7th wettest summer on record this years, gonna be mosquito H.

Fellow Ottawa here Our little air conditioner is doing an adequate job so far, but the poor things getting on in years. We were planning on spending the week on our first floor (and getting a new air conditioner before July), but I ended up having surgery on the weekend and now I have to stay on the second floor with the bathroom, so it's super windy up here making sure the cool circulates into the bedroom as much as possible 😂

because of the humidity

@@brittanytrusler5295 I have a portable AC for my bedroom at least, but I'm at work, and the AC is broken. :( I do laundry for a long term care home, and its really exhausting when the AC isn't working, cause of all the humidity from the washing machines, and the heat from the dryers. Luckily my boss is nice, and makes us take extra breaks when its this hot, which is why I had time to watch this video. I wish you the best with both the temperature upstairs, and your recovery from surgery!

@@brittanytrusler5295 Me too...welcome.

Kanata here. 33 right now.

Same brutal extremes in Saskatchewan. 40°C in the summer to -50°C in the winter. 🥵 🥶

@@deirdrestatham5730 same here in montreal but might be a tiny little bit colder like -51 or -52 in very very very cold days

couple years back we saw about +45c in alberta, which is notoriously dry. I was McSuffering then, cant imagine a humid 45. RIP ontario i guess. yall had a good run xD swinging between +30 and -30 sucks, but at least we cant say we're bored? Our local pastime is and remains complaining about the weather, rubbernecking, and road construction in that order. we have fun out here.

Hated working outdoors in ottawa. Except 2 weeks in Spring and 2 in the fall.

And mosquitoes love it! Nasty creatures.

Tyler lives 6 hours away from the Canadian border. He knows what seasons are. He acts dumb because people like you find ignorant Americans charming for some reason.

I have experienced SNOW in Calgary every month out of a year (over several years) I was shocked the first time I went to Stampede and snow started falling.

In Alberta. This week is crazy. Snow to 25 in 5 days

Actually...you are correct! It is a myth. Memorizers (as opposed to thinkers and reasoners) regurgitate that myth without knowing what the heck they are talking about! I long suspected it was a myth but finally got it confirmed by Environment Canada scientists (who elaborated exactly why the myth is not true!). Now, there is SOME truth to it feeling a tad bit cooler while it is raining AND you are caked with rainwater while the air is moist. I won't go into detail. But the difference is not particularly huge and that's not what people mean when they talk about 'dry cold' being not that bad anyway! I long suspected it was actually wind that makes the difference more than anything else in winter. And I was right all along. That's OBVIOUSLY the reason the only thing used to furnish 'feels like' temperatures is the wind. If dry/wet cold truly made a noteworthy difference, certainly we have the technology today to be able to estimate its 'feels like' temperature if the difference was worth measuring. But obviously it isn't! The only potentially HUGE difference is with windspeed. That's the only difference worth measuring (during winter) and the only variable (along with actual air temperature) used to measure 'feels like'.

I'm in kingsvile:) most southerly town. Born in Leamington:)

The lake effect off Lake Erie is what dooms Buffalo to major snow storms. Go even a bit north and it's a whole other world weather wise.

I am in Windsor Ontario and Detroit is Due North of our Downtown. True fact 👍😁😁

There are 13 states more north than Windsor ont.

Nope it’s the salt you use on the roads that destroy everything. Haven’t come close to those temperatures yet out west

@@krisboucher37 thanks Kris, but with respect, salt doesn't heave entire sections of roadways, buildings or create pot holes or cause microscopic shattering in cement. I would highly recommend you chat with a civil engineer.

The roads are ruined by the constant freezing and melting. When the ice and snow melts the water seeps into the small cracks and grooves in the pavement. Then it freezes (which means the water in the small cracks expands) and causes the road to blister and crack. After six months of this in our winter many roads are ruined.

@@philipberthiaume2314 lol. Quick thaw and freeze does exactly that. I am in the industry. So you might want to do more research. Adding salt does just the same. Puts it in a thaw period. Then freezes again and starts to destroy the roads

@@philipberthiaume2314 your so wrong 😂

-63°C is INSANE!!! That had to be in the deep North.

@@slowly-but-eventually very true. was in the Yukon (which is next to Alaska for those who dont know).

I have have family in Calgary-my birth city. And was hoping the Stampede would not be cancelled. One of the best parts of my childhood. Though the Stampede did go on after that flood.

If you TRULY want to surprise Americans, tell them there are locations in Canada that frequently (albeit not normally) enjoy warmer concurrent winters than Dallas, Texas! For example, as measured by mean temperature (the definition of warmer winter), the town of Shirley, Canada (west coast, of course) has registered many-a-winter warmer than Dallas, Texas. Data Sources: NOAA (US Government); Environment Canada (Canadian Government)

43 in Ottawa today with the humidity. It was hot to work outside today..

@@constructionbootgazer 42 with the humidity right now in Montreal, and its almost 8pm :(

I didnt mind it 😂

@@constructionbootgazer I always think about outdoor workers in the heatwaves. The humidity must be hellish for you.

The heat dome also holds the wet and cold outside it, so us in the west have been getting rain. I’m okay with that, and I’m really hoping it will keep the wildfire season under control.

We are over 100f.

Even up north is too hot.

Me too I Never complain in the winter cause I complain all summer 😂

@@dewflower7298 I was just in Timmins, in Northern Ontario last week, and it's disgusting up there as well. I'm back in Montreal now and its even worse here.

Same.

The most Canadian possible comment confuses both Americans and Europeans

Hydro electricity. That magical non polluting electricity source. Better than nuclear.

👍

@@shaneomax2296 lol better than nuclear... thats like comparing a Tesla to an e-bike...Jave you ever head of a CANDU Reactor having issues... the Chinese nuclear plants use Candu's ...Where I live it's Hydro as well but if you get enough people lugging in thir AC/s ( Out dated not very efficent) cranking the cool level in their firdge freezer, and what is a board game, no turn on the TV or comouter and play games akkd ay... you can expect brown outs/ rolling blackouts.

... I was doing some repair on a/c today... One on a rooftop and one on the ground, the rooftop one was a rude one tbh

Nope, not true. Thats only the news.

Same here, I believe the Bitcoin ETFs approval will be life changing opportunity for us, with my current portfolio made from my investments with my personal financial advisor 1 totally agree with you

YES!!! That's exactly her name ( Audrey lauren) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Florida

She is my family’ personal Broker and also a personal Broker to many families in the United States, she is a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in the United States…

A lot of people still make massive profit from the crypto market, all you really need is a relevant information and some < professional advice. ‹ it's totally inappropriate for investors to hang on while suffering from dip during significant

This sounds so good and I would like to be a party to this, is there any way I can speak with her?

Make sure you know when the cooling station is in your area. In my township they have the libraries open everyday (normally are open only certain days), so people can go in and cool down.

True, but some bigger grocery stores carry wine and beer, but not a huge selection.

From hawksbury to Northbay, just hop across the Ottawa River to Quebec!

Yeah my mom told me earlier. Luckily we were prepared,with the air conditioner on and lots of water.

@@commandixnostalgia2321 A/C makes these heatwaves bearable. Sadly, mine just gave up and I can't get a repair guy. They're very busy!

Keep pulling those wires. Make sure you're in the right room 😂😂😂. Sincerely, A toolie talking smack 😂😂😂

100% on that. I started there, much, much later went all through Engineering, got all the wallpaper. Taught some but did much research after. I can't say it was bad, or wrong - it wasn't - but I'd probably be far better off, in every sense, if I'd stayed with Skilled Trades. Life changed abruptly (no fault, no warning). Sometimes it's not fair - It is what it is.

Yeah, same here in Ottawa. Its 34 degrees, but like 80 percent humidity so it feels more like 40

Some sharks example bullshark can go in fresh water.

I was swimming on a beach in New Zealand when seals were going into matting season. It's much more dangerous than sharks.

Chlorinated water for this girl!!

Ouf!

I don't remember that. But I believe it.

@@BuchsdrN We couldn't believe it. I took pictures of my thermometer and the news. So hot

Hotter

@@dads1962 Exactly! 50 Degrees Celsius is the hottest ever!

Who knew eh? Lmao we did 😂
