American Reacts to Canadian News | #18 

I’m in Calgary, we have water, it’s just the main supply is cut off because of a burst feeder pipe. They got the replacement part from san Diego and the repairs should be done by July 5th. Until then public pools, car washes are closed and residents are asked to cut water use by 25%.

Somehow, a Floridian team winning the Stanley Cup seems as absurd as a team from the Yukon winning gold in beach volleyball. 😅

As a Canadian who doesn’t really follow hockey I do get a bit excited when a Canadian team is going for the cup.

The water issue is because a giant 6 foot water main sprung a leak…and then when they inspected the pipe they found 5 more leaks. I’m in Edmonton - this is the closest we’ve come to this in 17years, and since the 80’s before that! Spoiler: we lost game 7 - but it was SO CLOSE.

Basically Calgary and the surrounding areas get water from two plants, and the main pipe from one of them burst, which is the one that supplies 60% of the treated water. They got the initial break fixed within two-ish weeks, but when inspecting the pipe they found 5 more "hotspots" that if not fixed could burst later, so they've kept it shut down to fix those, which is why we needed more pipe (we had three pieces) which we got from San Diego. So they're trying to get it fixed before stampede because even though the city is doing okay right now for water (not good, but okay) having hundreds of thousands of tourists in town while still having a water issue will not be fun...

Tyler: I just learned that Canada is a water superpower. Tyler 30 seconds later: Who knew Canadians were that good at swimming!? 😂

Edmonton ended up losing but apparently the signing of the National Anthems was quite impressive.

No matter what NHL team wins the cup, Canada wins. If you look at the makeup of each team you will be atounded by the number of canadians in the NHL. Another good segment!

It's OK Tyler, half of us don't understand Canadian politics either.

MPs or "Member of Parliament "is basically what we Canadians would call our version of Congress.

As a professional Canadian I was extremely sad when panthers won game 7

Yes! True Canadians will jump ship to any Canadia team in the Finals. We need the cup!!!

The Calgary water crisis was because a major watermain that carries 60% of the city's water from one of the two treatment plants broke. When repairing it, they then found 5 other weak spots that needed repairs. We have been on water restrictions for just over 2 weeks now - no outside water use at all and we are being asked to limit baths and showers. And a total fireban as well.

Also in Calgary. Everything that can hold water is out in my backyard waiting for the rain on Thursday so I can fill up.

Unfortunately Edmonton lost.😢

The biggest news here is the closure of the Toronto Science Centre. The following appeared in my Facebook feed this morning: #OntarioScienceCentre The grift goes like this: - Science Centre opened in 1969, designed to last 250+ years. - 5 years ago, a developer family* close to Doug Ford bought 60+ acres adjacent to the Science Centre (in red on the map) - One month later, Ford announces that the last stop on the new Ontario Line subway will be...The Science Centre!!! - This week, Ford closes the Science Centre immediately. Permanently. Its property (in yellow) will be "repurposed." His engineering report says the Science Centre needs maintenance - does not say it needs to be closed. - Ford is away on vacation. Construction and demolition equipment are already on site across the road, set to go to work before the public can intervene. - Ford, never known for moving fast, unveils and executes a plan to turn a world-class Ontario icon into condos on a Friday, then disappears before anyone can answer the phone at Queens Park. Cha-Ching!!!! *The same family that bought up property along the cancelled Hwy 413 route. When Ford resurrected the highway to nowhere, the value of the family's land went up $8.3billion. (I have not searched the name of the family or company. I would think that they would try to hide that as much as possible. Someone in comments said the family is DeGasperis. Given Ford’s history, public facts known so far, his signature style, this scheme makes sense. Please note that I cannot site completely verified sources of this information as I have not had time to do a deep dive verification. I would think that the big media sources would not be as proactive or transparent with this because they are either owned by people in the similar circles to Ford, or get funding from the government and are worried about future funding if they run a story like this, so please do your own research and if you come up with sources, please post those in the comments. There are good facts and comments below with some refuting this or explaining it. So I encourage you to read the comments, especially if you’re going to repost. Aspen Ridge Homes is the developer and an arm of the DeGasperis family operations

The Prime Minister is just the leader of the party that has the most MPs Members of Parliament that were elected, and they're an MP themselves. We don't directly vote for the PM unless you happen to live in their riding (electoral district). I think you have bi elections in the States too if someone retires or dies while in office?? Good video!

There's a lot of support for making life sentence a true life sentence

Please do not blow this emergency out of proportions. We are under a water conservation alert. We are trying to recover. We need cooperation from everyone involved. Thank you. 🤔

9:30 Often in situations like this, the elderly person mistakes the gas pedal for the break and run their car through a laundromat. I know as much about it as you but, this would make sense if there were a Girl Guide Troop selling cookies out front. Tragic. All 'round tragic. I also can't help feeling for grandma. She must feel like the worst person to ever human; less than mud, crawling through a NY sewer on her belly, horrible. I know I'd feel like Pizza Rat's s..t!

Calgary's got no water. Edmonton's got no cup.

4:35 its 100% true. We do not have many Canadian teams so when there is one left we all go all in.

I live near Harrow, ON and the deaths were devastating to the small rural community. Not many details released but I think they are saying it was a murder/suicide because there was no threat to the community. Terrible loss.

Two main water lines in Calgary, 1 had a break so they are fixing it. The other one is still working, so its not like Calgary is out of water, just conserving it for necessary uses. While fixing it they found 5 other locations that should be repaired. Also ALL Calgary water is potable, so yes, you can still drink from a hose like we did as kids.

Im in Calgary, we still have water restrictions. I live in an apartment so I dont have a lawn or garden to water

The 4 murder situation sounds very consistent with a typical case of "honor killing" that is sadly not uncommon within certain communities. Usually ends up being swept under the rug and dismissed as "mental illness"

Most of the violence we have is targeted .

I ammin Calgary . We have water. One community that was near the main water break had no water for about 2 weeks. The rest of the city had water. We are asked to reduce our usage to ensure the underground reservoirs can keep up and replenish from the one remaining water treatment plant.

My wife has lime disease from a tick in the 80's

Should check out the Thunderstorm news from Saskatchewan over the last day or two.... a storm just barely missed my city, and instead hit a smaller community with 113km/h winds and 2 inch hailstones.... yes, 2 INCH hailstones. Houses lost vinyl siding, vehicles were massively dented and windshield/windows smashed.

When the pipe just burst calgarians were coming to my town of fernie to stay the weekend to shower, wash laundry , and restock their water for the week.

CBC is the Canadian CNN, not too many Americans understand that. Tyler asking "What's going on" is exactly what every Canadian as been asking. Calgary water is not a big deal, the news is inflating the issue, patting themselves on the back for them solving an issue they directly caused. Ive worked in infrastructure for over 10 years and Winnipeg to Calgary have barely been given 10% of their requested budget for critical repairs during every approval process, im not sure about the lock down era budgeting, but i imagine even less was spent.

That election in Toronto is like if New York went from hard blue to full red. It sends a message.

Imagine being in the most fresh water blessed country in the world, just to have it cut because broken infrastructure.. goes to show the importance of maintaining said infrastructure.

Naheed Nenshi was a former mayor of Calgary and a former Grand Master for Pride. (you got the name right). The closest to the NDP in the USA is Bernie Sanders. That said, the pressures that pull a party in different directions are different on the Provincial and the Federal level. It being Alberta, they are not as environmentally friendly as the Federal NDP (a major difference). The leader of the United Conservative Party / UCP, Danielle Smith fawned all over Tucker Carlson when he visited the Province and they shared a stage. That is who Naheed Nenshi will be facing off against in the next Alberta Provincial election. Danielle Smith was the former leader of the Wild Rose party (named after the Provincial flower) when an error in painting design of her campaign bus made all the American comedy shows. The Wild Rose party and the Progressive Conservative party merged to form UCP. This would be like if the American Tea Party and the GOP were to merge with the Tea Party being the biggest influence in the new party. The Federal Conservative Party was a merger between the Reform Party and the Progressive Conservative party (could give you more details). Ontario still calls theirs the PCs. Saskatchewan calls their right-wing party the Saskatchewan party due to history of scandal in their PCs. Byelection - when a seat becomes vacant between elections and needs to be filled. It is sort of a mini election just for that one riding (electoral district). Turn out tends to be lower in byelections than regular elections. Byelections are sometimes viewed as referendums - especially if all the MPs that represented the riding over the decades belong to one party. Wished that you looked at the bear hybrid article about tracing grolar bears back to their polar bear and grizzly bear ancestors.

For most of us, when our favorite team is eliminated we will get behind other canadian teams but in honesty we rather just see amazing hockey no matter who is playing

Our American friends sold us a new pipe! We don't have any pipes in Canada!

The Whirlpool Rapids are a couple of km from my place, We used to go partying down there years ago, extremely dangerous if you loose your footing. There are many accidents with sad outcomes but the news is not reported as much, not so good for tourism. Other than that the hiking on the Niagara Glen Trails in the Gorge are definitely worth the hikes.

Taxis are very heavily regulated here and the licenses are extremely expensive and limited in number so they are bought and sold as commodities. When Uber rolled into town the people who had paid 100 000$+ for a taxi license were understandably upset.

Condos are empty not only because they are too expensive but also because some people buy them as investment but then cannot even rent them properly because renting them out is a big risk as you might not be able to evict the tenant for years...

I think watching the news is one of the best ways for someone to truly understand the state of Canada these days. Outsiders many times look at Canada and picture it as some kind of perfect paradise. And any Canadian knows this is not the case. It's a lot better than many other places, but it's by no means perfect. I think this is an excellent way to get a better view as to what is actually happening here and see behind the shiny veneer.

73 percent of NHL hockey players are Canadian. As a Calgarian we have water it was a water main break.

In Quebec, the term "scouts" is for boys, and "guides" is for girls, but its basicaly the same activities... :-)

I'm a Montréal Canadiens fan, and yes, we're definitely rooting for the Oilers to bring the Cup home.

We have tonnes of water but we gotta save for firefighter use and hospital

This was an absolute, classic game 7 given the circumstances!

3 easy benchmarks when converting Celsius to Fahrenheit: normal body temperature is 37°C/98.6°F; water freezes at 0°C/32°F; when its really cold -40°C/-40°F

Tyler's comments on hockey just confirms why most US cities don't deserve a hockey team!

Happened Monday night… we depressed in Alberta 😂 friggin buzz kill

To make the Oilers story even better going into the final.. they had the second worst record in the entire NHL in November before going on a 16 game win-streak to become contenders. It was an absolutely incredible season of hockey.

Translation about election: an MP is like a congressman. A liberal MP quit early so they have to vote a replacement. The riding is very liberal so when the Liberal lost , since this video was recorded,, it shows Trudeau is in bad shape.

The dumbest part is down here in the south of calgary, we're fed water from the glenmore resevoir, which is in turn filled in by the Bow River. Jodie Gondek is just making emergancies for an excuse to use her favorite game mode, lockdowns.

I live in Calgary and we do indeed have water. There was a water break and we were on a restricted water usage and a community was flooded and was without clean water but we’re all good now. And btw, not all of us Albertans/Canadians were cheering for the Edmonton Oilers to win, at least not here in Calgary 😉🇨🇦

I wish you had actually read more of that article on Calgary's water crisis because this is the entire reason I watched the video

Basically, Toronto is a known Liberal party stronghold. Just like New York City is a Democrat stronghold. And a by-election is sortof like the American Mid-Terms. They happen if the person from that writing retires or something like that. So, if the Liberals lose in a writing that has been Liberal for 20+ years, it's a huge setback for the Liberal Party, and even if they manage to win with very little margin, it's a huge sign that the Liberals are going hopefully out the door.

Speaking as a Canadian 🇨🇦 I really enjoy your content. ☺️❤ the water situation in Calgary is bc a water pipe line ruptured. The fix It end up taking longer that expected but should be done by July 5 ish .

Here in Ontario we had hot days too that got as high as a feels like temp of 45 Celsius. That's over 111 F.

I'm from London the elderly are very dangerous here. They drive through store windows quite often sadly.

The "water crisis" did not affect me much. And I live in Calgary. I just cut down on my water consumption.

13:44 looks like quebec annexed new brunswick and nova scotia lmao

If Don Stewart just changed his name to Jon Stewart he’d be a shoe-in! 🤣

A marginal win would have been horrible for the Liberals because it was a Liberal guarenteed seat for the last 30 years. However it got even worse for Liberals as they lost the seat for the first time since the 90s

Sometimes I wonder if Tyler reacts to news from the USA just as he does to that of Canada. ie. "what" " "I did not know this" "I never heard of this" 🙃

Seeing as you JUST finished doing all the Heritage Minutes, this may interest you. Heritage Canada just removed the Louis Reil Heritage Minute. There's a CBC Article titled "Removal of Louis Riel Heritage Minute sparks debate about storytelling, censorship"

Yo Canadian here, you have GOT to react to "Out For a Rip" by b richmond. It summarizes the lifestyle here in small-town Ontario PERFECTLY. It is Canada's true national anthem 😂

Ontario has had a very violent and sad few weeks. Especially in the GTA the gun violence has been out of control

Suggesting all Canadians will cheer for any team in the Stanley Cup final just because they're Canadian is exactly the same as suggesting that a Lakers fan would cheer for the Celtics just because they're American. Having a hated rival win is much worse than having an American team win.

I’m surprised our city (edmonton) even made it that far!!! I’m proud :D

Weird that nova Scotia, quebec and Ontario have the tick problem but not NB?

12:15 It's kind of confusing because in Canada, like the UK, conservatives are blue and liberals are red. Also we have the NDP with orange, greens with obvious, The Bloc with pale blue and the PPC with purple. The last is kind of strange. They are far from progressive. They're Canada's Tea Party or today's MAGA (only here, they tend to get less than 3% support and have yet to win even one seat).

that pipe was around 100 yrs old and made out of pine. city leaders should have been smart enough to warrant replacing any and all cider pipes, I mean common??

when he called out the nwt being huge because of the error i laughed pretty freaking loud.

Montreal vs LA was the last time Canada won the cup 30 years ago

Well, at least we have toliet paper to wipe your butt, just not water to flush it down lmao hahaha sorry too soon?!

That’s why I stopped driving as soon as I found my reflexes not being at its optimum. I gave up my licence at 65. My reflexes were off and my eyesight was not the best, even with glasses. I did not want to become one of those old people I used to cuss at lol😅

You know how people go crazy over sports. In the States, people go crazy wild over football.

Lolll let the messed up map speak for itself

A little interest story. There is going to be a musical called The Last Timbit ( Tim Horton ) based on a true story. I believe the producer also produced Come From Away musical about 911 in Newfoundland. Please check it out. Love all your interest stories.

The Oilers have won five Stanley Cups and eight conference championships. The Oilers were founded in 1972 as one of the original franchises of the World Hockey Association (WHA), a North American professional hockey league that was established as a competitor of the NHL.

Is it the Stanley Cup Finals, said no Canadian Ever! Lol

Calgarian here... my favorite team is any team that plays against Edmonton. Not every canadian roots for canadian teams

Please don't use CBC only. There is CTV, Global...regional channels..

I am a die hard Vancouver Canucks fan and I was cheering the Edmonton Oilers after they knocked out the Canucks

If you had read the comment section to your Edmonton video the other day you would know about the game. In the beginning, nearly all of NHL players were from Canada, but now it's down to 41%. Check out the official NHL video on Wayne Gretzky, which talks about how his move from Edmonton to L.A. paved the way for the setting up of hockey teams in southern U.S. cities.

I lived in Calgary for 4 years.. my son was born at the Foothills Hospital in the mid 80s

The news are dated "June 24th" an there were no news about Québec's National Day...

Game 7 was a bust, and really sucks for McDavid, but they went from the bottom of the barrel to game 7, with a coach who is brand new to the Pro's. Bothing wrong with that. Now that they have Paul Coffee to whip their defense into better shape, and as a team have the confidence to get that far and the experience, they'll get there again next year and be even more of a menace.

Regarding the NDP story there a federal party and a provincial party, similar to the states having federal and state governments

Lol...such dark news vibes for such a generally positive channel.

Calgary Flames fans are the most reluctant to support the Oilers because they're rivals

by the way tyler for your information ever since gary Bettmen(american) became i charge of the nhl no Canadian teams has won. so that why i ' am pretty sure there is bias in the NHL . some example are the loses we have in the stanley cup finals compared to the number of gold medels we have as Team Canada

The whole country is behind Edmonton considering no Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup since Bettman became the top man of the NHL many years ago. Believe me when I say there were a few dubious Yankee wins within his reign

In that article where it said a man was charged with killing a kid notice how he was just a man and there was no picture. Notice how in the first article a woman is charged with virtually the same type of crime, and yes she does have a picture. Notice the type of neighborhood that last article is in compared to the demographic of people who were in that first article. Notice how biased the news is how they hide the identity of the person who shot kids, more than likely purposely, in the hood, while they have the picture of the woman who by accident did it. I don't have to say any more than that.

It's confusing but there is the Federal NDP and the Provincial NDP in most provinces. Same goes for most other parties including the Liberal and Conservative parties, Green Party etc. More notably, the Bloc Quebecois does not exist at the Provincial level, but the Parti Quebecois is its equivalent (and does not exist at the Federal level). So Alberta's NDP could be elected as government during a provincial election but is irrelevant for federal elections, just like the Federal NDP party can be elected without the provincial NDP being elected anywhere in the country.

Like many Canadians, I also do not keep up with, or know anything about hockey.

Florida won the deciding game in the only way they could. Extra tight defensive play and hot goaltending. The game, 2 to 1 for the panthers, confirmed 2 extremely common sports cliches, that offense sells the sizzle, but defense wins championships, and that Hockey is much more of a whole team game than basketball. McDavid was deemed most valuable player in the entire playoffs, but he alone could not make the difference in game 7. There is no 3 point line, where one ridiculously talented player can decide the outcome on their own.

Up here in Canada, most people try to not hear much about Canadian politicians either 🐒

Yesterday's news update: Edmonton lost, the Conservatives won the by-election.

16:40 companies keep apartments/condos/houses empty on purpose in order to raise housing prices! It’s fked

I live in Vancouver get tons of American news from Seattle and from Canadian net works
