As an American I am very curious about what the biggest differences between the US and Canada are, and which ones are just stereotypes that have been blown out of proportion. Today I am excited to learn from Canadians about some of huge differences between our cultures. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

Canadians are QUIETLY patriotic. We love our country, and many of us can't imagine living anywhere else, but we don't feel a need to let everyone else know it. We tend to keep our patriotism to ourselves

As a Canadian gun owner - we have to take a course, pass an exam, and then have RCMP perform a background check before we receive our license. That said, I would totally not feel comfortable being in a place where people can just open or conceal carry - you can’t trust how other people will react to situations

@D33Lux 11 месяцев назад

That is your own personal opinion, while you may feel this way others will disagree and want to open/conceal carry, its called mutual respect and the right to respect the rights of others, but that's foreign to most. What's important to most in society is forcing their views on others. Just so people know, pre 1965 Canada had conceal carry, I have seen the expired permits. The issue isn't the firearm, its the lack of morals and consideration towards others in society. Respect is a two way street, regardless of if you disagree with someone, they're still human, have thoughts, feelings, needs and beliefs that are different from yours. Its not just the U.S., the world has become a hostile place. Everyone has the sames rights, you wouldn't want someone to force their beliefs on you right? I noticed, that most who want their rights respected won't do the same for others who have opposing views. There is no equality, if only your opinion counts, and when most cannot get their way they'll vote for a government body that will use violence and punishment to get their way. That's the way things are, government sanctioned laws that usurp human rights and opinion, and we're now seeing it with social preference of certain special interest groups. No one can have an opinion that doesn't fall in with the social narrative, you'll be insulted, labelled with some phobic name, ousted, and many are pushing for legal punishment all because others may not agree with the same ideals. Freedom has turned into, which group screams the loudest, basic, equal, fundamental, human rights are slowly being erased.

@kwharrison6668 11 месяцев назад

Agree with you 1000%. I have both PAL and RPAL, own numerous firearms and hunt every year, and open carry isn’t something I or anyone I personally know think is a good idea. There is ample evidence (thanks US) that places with open carry and loose gun laws have more gun crime. For those who know how to look at stats, it’s cut and dry clear.

@@D33LuxMuch of what you say is true. However being within a democratic society means the majority rules and the overwhelming majority of Canada are against open or concealed carry. Heck, the overwhelming majority even support the Liberal government’s recent handgun bans. As an RPAL holder I personally don’t support the outright ban of handguns or the way they went about it, but I do fully understand that it’s any democratic government’s responsibility to follow the will of the majority of the people.

I recently spent a couple of weeks in Florida, and about a week in, I had a meltdown. Everyone was so LOUD! Not a single thought of whether or not the world wanted to hear their conversation. That, plus the weird money that all looks alike and is PAPER like they’re living in 1940. The metal detectors and police presence. Wait staff leaving with your credit card instead of paying by machine right at the table. How do I know you’re not going to take my card details, or give yourself a 200% tip? I mean, this is a place where people take a concealed gun to the grocery store, so clearly they don’t trust other people, but no, no, please take my credit card out of my hands and run it thru out of my sight. I had a few hours where I just longed for civilization, and I could have kissed Canadian soil if I could have found any. Plus, if anyone asked where I was from, and I’d say the Yukon, and they’d say, oh I don’t know where that is, ok fair enough. But I’d say beside Alaska, and without fail every person I talked to didn’t know where Alaska was. Honest to god. Smh.

@D33Lux 11 месяцев назад

Its not just Florida, alot of the metropolitan areas are extremely populated. NYC is a wild place, from my experience American's are very kind and welcoming, but the world has become a hostile place, its not just the U.S. People are aggressive, rude, selfish. I had people bump into me in downtown Toronto because they're on their phone, no apology, just a grunt and kept on walking. I was lost in North Toronto, I had two woman ignore me, and an old man yell at the top of his lungs "What! What do you want, can't you see I'm standing here." That whole "Canadians are such nice peoples" is such b.s. for those who've lived here their whole lives. Maybe that can be said for rural Canada, but not in the big cities. Canada is no peaceful paradise, its only naive Canadians that believe that. People should look at their own roofs before they judge others because Canada has a homeless, drug and violence problem too, its just in the U.S. all the problems are amplified because its 9x's the size of Canada's population so of course its going to look extreme. The whole firearms issue is a independent one, if people want or don't want to carry its up to them. What everyone should focus on is making themselves the person they want the world to be like. You cannot change the world, but you can change you!

Americans view gun ownership as a right and access to affordable healthcare as a privilege. So, getting shot with a gun is the "right of the shooter", but you getting that bullet out of you is a privilege. In Canada, having access to healthcare is a right but having gun access is a privilege. So, the gun shooter DOESN'T have the "right" to shoot you, but you DO have the right to have access to get it out of you.

The concept of individualism and freedom is defined differently in the US vs Canada. In the US, individualism seems to means almost all the focus is on oneself to the exclusion of others. Canadians don't lack individualism, it's that people care far more how their actions affect others. A lot of Americans want the freedom to do whatever they want; even if it harms/hurts other people. In Canada, freedom isn't absolute. One's freedom stops when it impinges on the freedom and safety of others.

@Cyclone9100 11 месяцев назад

Exactly what this video made me think on. The way we view freedom is kinda of a big difference. It feels, no fact there, like Canadian will agree to a more holistic view of freedom, while American will have a more individual approach to the matter. Also... and It may be just a feeling, I don't feel like canadian get as much third party involvement as the american because of that specific fact. As if influence group were happy to target individual opinion in the US while in Canada that approach doesn't work as much.

@kayecastleman6353 11 месяцев назад

As a Canadian, I grew up in a city, but spent most of my adult life in rural areas of the country. City dwellers tend not to own firearms unless they are into the hobby side, like going to target ranges, or seriously into crime. Those cohorts are pretty limited. In rural Canada, however, owning guns and rifles is pretty common. They are primarily used for hunting and animal protection, as on ranches and farms that are subject to predation. Virtually all firearm ownership is regulated, but special permits can be obtained to supersede some regulations. I have never met a Canadian that owns a firearm for personal protection, though they have been used for that. And our national, provincial and territorial parks do not allow visitors to carry firearms, since we consider them sanctuaries for nature and wildlife. There is no 'open carry' in Canada. All firearms must be secured when stored and transported, and can only be carried for a legitimate purpose.

@karenneill9109 11 месяцев назад

I totally agree. The types and purposes of our guns is different. You buy a shotgun, not an AR 15, a nice balanced pistol for target shooting, not a semiautomatic. You own a long gun to hunt deer and ducks, not people. You own a handgun to target shoot, not pull out to defend yourself. Guns are around, but the culture surrounding them is totally different.

There is a huge gun culture here in Canada, its just that gun ownership, procurement and model types are way more regulated. Magazine capacity is restricted for center fire arms, pistols can no longer be procured or traded, certain models are banned like an AK47 or clone. I've had the pleasure of being a gun owner in both nations and in the US I find many untrained and impulse buyers where as in Canada ownership and obtaining a permit is a commitment. Canada does a pretty good job of monitoring and restricting those who mentally should not have guns. However, Canada suffers from illegal firearms smuggled in from the US.

1) I think we acknowledge our military in our day-to-day lives. I know of businesses that give discounts to people in the military. At every Blue Jays home game we acknowledge a member of the military as representing the Canadian Armed Forces. I don't go to other sporting events so I'm not sure if this happens at Canadian hockey games, football games, etc. 2) In high school we were always taught that the US is a "melting pot" whereas Canada is a "mosaic", meaning that immigrants to the US are expected to assimilate into the US culture while in Canada, immigrants are welcome to retain their own culture, for the most part, while still complying with Canadian laws. 3) I'm pretty sure the majority of Canadians know our national anthem. 4) Sadly, the so-called "freecom convoy" people have turned the Canadian flag into a political thing.

Having worked alongside the military and having family in/recently retired from the military my problem is that as a whole, Canadians tend to appreciate our military history but not our present military. The country as a whole seems to view it as unnecessary because we have the Americans nearby and we're peacekeepers so why would we need a military. There has historically been a lack of public knowledge around how the military helps in our country. There seems to be a bit more acknowledgement recently of the search and rescue, and natural disaster relief efforts that the military contributes to which is a good start. But we keep running into issues of Canadians, and therefore the government, not seeing why we would put any more money into the military, when we don't see a need to have it.

Where I live in Canada you need to take a Canadian Firearms Safety Course at 85$ which takes between 8 to 10 hours to complete with 2 tests, 1 practical and 1 written. Then you can apply to get the Firearms Possession and Acquisition License with the firearms controllers, they do a background check, you need another selfie taken just like the driver's liscence. You need to fill out multiple forms and someone else you know for more than a year needs to provide their infos and signs the form to confirm he/she can easily identify you on the small picture. 2 more people need to know you for more than 3 years, they also need to provide their infos and they actually sign to confirm you're responsible and trust worthy enough to own a firearms liscence. In the forms you need to provide your partner's infos, your kids infos and I think you even have to provide the infos of the all the partners you had in the last 2 years and their names, phone numbers and address and the fact you don't know some of their infos if it's the case. Someone I know got one to be able to own a revolver and go range shooting as an activity, he had to provide a precise itinirary from his house to the shooting club and deveating from that itinirary would be a criminal offense. You're not even allowed to go to Tim Horton's on your way to the shooting club. I bought milk in bags yesturday actually hehehe.

I have had the privilege to speak to thousands of firearms owners in both the U.S. and Canada, and my experience is greatly different from yours. I'd say 95+% don't support the current firearms laws, and would like a second amendment type of law in Canada (heritage rights), with the right to choose to carry. I'd say about 30+% don't want any laws at all because of their experience with CFO's and the legal system. Why would someone who's been a firearms owner need a licence for, as if the 60+years of experience will immediately be erased from their mind because they don't have a plastic card in their wallet. Only someone with mental issues would think that. You might want to speak with the gun rights groups in Canada like the CCFR and the NFA, you might learn something aside from what you and your "MANY" confused friends believe. Me personally, your opinion is as valid as mine is in your eyes. I can say for certain, that the way the liberals are treating firearms owners is going to guarantee a majority Conservative government this next election. From my sources, all current anti-gun bills will be reversed, and there is going to be a push for changes in the charter to include a heritage law similar to the Second amendment. It won't stop there, there is also push to remove the RCMP and it wouldn't surprise me to see a petition to have the CFO's removed.

We pride ourselves as the liberators of Netherlands, during the WWII. In fact the Dutch Princess Margriet was born in Canada during the war, where her mother, the Queen Juiana, was given refuge. I remember visiting along with a group of other Canadians, the war cemeteries in France, Belgium and Netherlands. The group had relatives who were buried there. We visited Vimy Ridge amoung many other monuments commemorating the achievements and sacrifices of Canadian Military. We cried while listening to the stories of those brave men and women. Canada-at the time of WWI a country of less than 8 million citizens-would see more than 650,000 men and women serve in uniform. The conflict took a great toll, with more than 66,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders dying and 170,000 being wounded. Yes, we respect our military.

The first part, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State" means: all able-bodied citizens eligible by law to be called on to provide military service supplementary to the regular armed forces. Pay attention to the terms "well-regulated" and "necessary". The second part, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed". It does NOT mention guns or firearms at all. It says "keep and bear arms". The term "bear arms" means; wear or carry protective equipment/weaponry. At the time the 2nd amendment was written that most commonly meant wearing a helmet, an armoured breastplate, or carrying a shield. Of course wearing a helmet will not protect you from a sword, so "bear arms" also includes carrying a weapon for protection. It COULD include carrying a gun, but doesn't have to, or could include just a pocket knife. The US could take away ALL guns, and as long as the people can carry some form of protection (like pepper spray), they would not be infringing on 2nd amendment rights.

I'm a gun owner and a Canadian soldier, firearms and gunnery instructor. To get my gun license I had to take 4 days of training, including testing, background checks by the RCMP and then issued a licence though the RCMP. There are strict storage rules you have to follow, firearms are not for protection. If you use a firearm to defend yourself or property you will be charged with a laundry list of criminal charges. Owning firearms is a privilege. That privilege can be removed at any time (especially if someone gets arrested for domestic etc...). Our laws recently changed and we are even more restricted to what you can buy, sell or trade. Hand guns and restricted rifles are all banned from sale or transfer. This has had no impact on gun crimes in Canada.... 🙄

There are lots of guns in Canada, but mostly in rural areas, and mostly long guns. Illegal hand guns in large cities are obviously an issue in some places. ~18% of Canadians are English/French bilingual (statscan).

Red and Blue designated to party in America is actually a relatively new concept. A W convention I think. The colours used to flip based on which station was broadcasting, the campaigning was all red and blue AND white. In Canada, it has been a convention for longer because we have a multi party system and therefore more parties to keep straight.

When I lived in Canada I was a reference for a friend getting his RPAL, that was after he got his PAL. And even then you can only take a handgun to the range and back and it must be secured the entire time. I think the whole process took 18 - 24 months. I now live in a constitutional carry State and I can buy a gun this afternoon with a 20 minute wait and then I'm free to open or conceal carry all without any training or knowledge on gun safety.

Another unifying part of Canadian society, now under siege like never before, is the concept of a strong central government.

The importance of having/ finding a job that provides health care benefits for your family is an American thing. In Canada that would be far less relevant, such as appreciating a job with benefit like coverage for what we call extended-medical & dental insurance for prescription meds, eye glass prescriptions, physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, etc.

French medium schools exist in every province of Canada. Language studies are a much more central part of schools' curricula in Canada than in the US. Most US high schoolers only study a language other than English for just two years. My grandsons in BC all speak English, French, & Spanish with fair fluency. Half of them also speak a fourth language - two Chinease and one Xaat K\xedl. Each have some basic conversational Michif too. In the US this level of multilingualism would be very rare.

I have a few rifles but no handguns. I am a retired Policeman and can confirm that handgun ownership is rare amongst most Canadians. My children do not own firearms and I will have to pass them on to other relatives when I pass on. Although it is not an actual law most if not all sporting goods places will not sell ammunition to anyone unless they produce/show a Firearm Acquisition License (FAC) . The license is renewed every 5 years. If you visit Canada to hunt you are allowed 1 box of ammo per firearm. We have most calibers anyway. Rifle ammunition is very expensive here as well. All license holders are checked 10 times a day on CPIC database for warrants etc. Your residence can also be entered by the state to ensure firearms storage compliance etc. (License holders only) We are the most law abiding bunch.. :)

Many Canadians hunt so therefore many Canadians own guns. The greatest difference in the gun argument, IMO, is that in the US people are more willing to take anothers life. I posed a question in another group one time where there were a a fairly large number of both Canadians and Americans. The question was "If someone broke into you house what would be your first thought?" Many Americans stated that they would get their gun to protect themselves - many Canadians stated that they would get out of the house.

As a French Canadian I can say I am happy to know both English and French. It just lets me understand and partake in more of what the world is offering instead of being stuck with content, divertissements or conversation in only one language. Since English is one of the most prominent language in the world it lets me connect with a huge amount of those I mentioned and the French lets me connect with another big part. French is also very similar to other romance languages, so I can understand the overall meaning of sentences in Spanish or Italian without having learned those languages. Portuguese and Romanian are also part of the romance/Latin languages but I never personally talked to someone who speak those so I can't tell if I would understand like I do for Italian and Spanish.
