The donut one about violence is when you go to tim hortons and get a chocolate, maple or sprinkle donut, all the good stuff sticks to the bag and youre left with a plain donut, its evil and a pain in the butt.
YES!!!! Timmies chose violence against me just this morning. I got an apple fritter and a double chocolate. The apple fritter ended up being a chocolate covered fritter, and the double chocolate became just plain chocolate. I felt so violated...AGAIN...and AGAIN...But I still order the exact same thing...every time! I think I secretly like the abuse lol
One time (before I was born), my parents drove down to California. At one point, they stopped for gas, and they noticed the guy pumping their gas struggling to read their license plate. They told him it said "Saskatchewan", to which he asked "Where's that?" My parents told him, "It's in Canada", to which he said "Oh.......How did you get your car across the ocean?"
@@andreanne8228 So many ignorant Americans think we're overseas, likely because they've never actually seen a world map. A sarcastic answer to that question might be "we rowed across."
I was in the grocery store yesterday and a gentleman was in front of me at the counter. When it moved forward slightly, he reached the little rubber barrier and set it down after his groceries and I said thank you. He looked at me like I had 2 heads and when he spoke, I realized he was American. He said he had never had anyone say that to him for such a small thing for him to do! A lot of us Canadians are polite and I hope it continues that way.
Tyler...your USA geese are our Canadian Geese! They migrate from Canada to the sunny south every fall. As Canadian's - when we hear the honking in the sky and look up and see dozens of geese in a "V" formation, we know winter and snow are just around the corner. Perhaps they behave better there because of the gun laws! Kidding 😂
I am sure our Canadian geese have been informed and know the politics of lack of gun control in the USA. They would be on their best behavior while there.
"An act of violence" The donut he bought had a chocolate topping on it. The Tim Hortons threw it in a bag without putting wax paper over the topping and the topping stuck to the bottom of the bag. He pulled out a naked donut and was heartbroken. In that situation, you are obliged to rip open the bag and lick the topping off the paper.
I'm Canadian and lived in NYC for 5 years because of a job I was offered. My first week in Manhattan I remember holding the door open for people, and they just would walk through. Forget that they didn't acknowledge my existence or that I took the time to hold it open, but they just walked right through like I was the doorman on duty that day.
Oh my gosh...this happened to me yesterday...in Canada! I held the door for an American couple (I overheard them say they were from Florida), and they both just walked through...didn't even acknowledge my existence...I might as well have been an inanimate door stopper. So rude! But, maybe I'm the rude one for expecting something...like a smile...or a nod. As my mom used to say, you do a nice thing to be nice, and because it's the right thing. You DON'T do a nice thing for recognition. So, basically...I need to learn to be more selfless. ❤ 🇨🇦 ❤
I was taking a Greyhound from NYC back home to Hamilton a few years back. We stopped at an A&W in NY on the way back for a break and I ended up getting the last straw from the straw dispenser... I watched the woman behind me try to get a straw, find out it was empty, and head to the counter, presumably to ask for a straw. She gets to the counter and IMMEDIATELY SCREAMS "THERE AIN'T NO STRAWS LEFT!! GET ME A DAMN STRAW!!" I almost fainted, I was so blown away 😅
That happened to me recently in L.A. on a trip. I cheerfully called out, "You're welcome! Have a great day!" to the rude person.😂 Later, though, on a city bus from our hotel into Hollywood, every single person who exited the bus called out "Thank you!" to the diver. So, work to be done, but they are part way there.
Holding a door open for someone during the Canadian winter is always appreciated even if you have to jog a bit. The sooner you get indoors the better. If some kind person does hold the door open for you, say thank you followed by the traditional "brrrrr is it ever cold out there. Thanks again".
The only thing worse than the chocolate getting stuck inside the bag is the chocolate getting stuck to your apple fritter they jammed in there rather than using 2 sleeves. (Extremely common occurence with my family's usual Timmy's order.)
When i was a kid i said "huh?" once to my Mom and she told me "we don't say that in Canada, it's rude and makes you sound American". Thinking about it now makes me realize how ingrained not being American gets in some of us Canadians.
I was taught this too (I'm Canadian), but I don't always say thanks, sorry and sometimes reply with something like "huh? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention". My reasoning is I'm a shy person who is easily embarrassed and other times ppl straight up tell me they prefer I say nothing. I think of myself as respectful, but not always engaging. I'm also very honest in general, so I only say sorry when I know I made a mistake that I think was dumb or I'm actually just sorry. This leads to me being completely silent in situations like a group of people discussing how someone passed away or anything like that. I tend to say nothing.
I love our Canadian politeness like scraping someone's window. Paying for their coffee in a Starbucks lineup. Holding the door open, saying i'm sorry, excetera. love being in a polite country
The "sorry" isn't politeness, it's either an acknowledgement that I made a mistake or a way of saying "you were in the wrong, but I think you're to stupid to realize it so I'm saying sorry so you leave"
The guy skating down the road was not carrying a 2-4 of beer, therefore not 100% Canadian. Canada geese come to Canada to breed and have young ones, they are great parents and will protect their young with their lives. Keep your distance from the young ones!
I was taught early to fear Moose and Canadian Geese. The geese randomly attacked my older cousin and my aunt one time and now they both actively avoid them at all costs. My mom had a friend when she was in her late teens/early twenties who had a run-in with a moose. He was out in the woods one day and shot an adult male Moose, that thing wasn't hurt, it just got angry. The only reason my mom's friend survived was that the things antlers got stuck on the trees while it was chasing him through the woods. It took down a few of those trees on the way.
You would learn far more about Canada by reviewing Heritage Minutes, the Rick Mercer Reports, and the film strips available by the Canadian National Film Board.
We have immigrants from Brazil that arrived in Canada in the end of October last year. They got through the winter ok and thought it was really cold. It's August now, I talked to them last week and they said that they prefer winter over the crazy hot July we just had. Even Brazilians can't stand the Canadian summer. LOL
I think the main reason Canadians know more about the geography of the world is because we are taught about it in school … in grade 12 social studies my classmates spent around a month on each continent.🤔🇨🇦
You’re right! The "now you can see" comment was passive aggressive 😂 the whole thing was. By scraping the window, he actually told the guy he was being lazy 😂😂
McCain Deep and Delicious is a chocolate cake. It is so light that you can just keep on eating it as it just doesn't seem to fill you up. Its made by McCain, the frozen french fry company from New Brunswick.
I live in a suburb of Ottawa. One of the most surreal sights I've ever encountered happened one earlier summer morning. It was incredibly foggy, could barely see across the road. But it was actually rather cool out for the season, and the air was fresh, so I went outside to walk around a bit before making breakfast. I was outside for all of two minutes when out of the fog, appearing like some sort of spirit animal, appeared a Moose. Big guy, just ambling along. It was some total Twin Peaks shit. Also that same summer, a Moose took a swim in someone's pool to cool off. It was a hot summer.
That video with the months in Canada.... I feel was made by someone who lives in the 'most' moderate temperature area of Canada. I live in the prairies in the west, and it's more like, July is the hottest month with blazing temperatues, that start tp really die off by mid August, and by the start of Sept, the days are cool, and the nighttime temps can go down to a few degrees above freezing, and by the time the kids are out at Halloween, you have a 50/50 chance of the first snowfall having already happened. The snow continues to January, where the HELL SNOW & COLD starts, and the deep freeze lifts sometime around the end of March. The temperatures start to go back to regular winter throughout April, and by the beginning of May, the snow has started to melt, and if it's a good year, by the time June starts, all the snow is finally gone, and spring flies by in a few weeks, as the hot temperatures race towards July again. I don't know where that guy on the video lives that he is out and about in his T-shirt with no snow at the end of November... but it ain't the majority of Canada. It'a a coast somewhere... maybe Vancouver...
Same. They were using Ottawa landmarks for the background, so probably Ottawa (which is further south than a lot of places in the US and is also moderated by being close to large amounts of water (Rideau Canal, St. Lawrence Seaway, and the Great Lakes))
I haven't had a McCain deep and delicious in YEARS. Used to go picking golf balls when I was 10-12 and sell them back to the golfers and go buy one. Always shared it with my cousin. Moist, delicious and when you are young, the sugar content was okay.
If you hit a moose at speed it will absolutely total your car. This is because it's body is high off the ground, so the front of the car only hits its legs while its entire body crashes into your windshield. It could kill you!
YEEESSSSSS. That McCain's Deep and Delicious cake. It's so nice to have on hand... And hard to resist. Especially after midnight. Edit: actually, wasn't that part of their advertising at some point? Someone sneaking down to the kitchen in the middle of the night to snack on it? And then running into someone else from the house who also snuck down to have some?
Tea is another area of differentiation; particularly with the southern US where you talk about hot tea, sweet tea, etc. These terms just don't exist in Canada where tea means hot tea and you add your own milk and sugar. If you order sweet tea in a restaurant, it is almost guaranteed that your server will not know what you are talking about. In Canada we may say black tea, tea with cream and sugar (this will be provided on the side), and ice tea (although 50 years ago this was essentially unknown in Canada). Of course today, people also know about bubble tea and tea drinks that have arrived from Asia.
@@CorwinAlexanderI'm not saying it wasn't around; however, I don't remember seeing it in Quebec or Nova Scotia and I'm 64. My parents didn't drink it and neither did my grandparents and they were maritime tea drinkers. Only Red Rose boiled to death for them!! There was always a pot of tea on the go all the time.
@@chadjmoore +1, it all depends on the circumstance. If it's someone elderly, with their arms full or trying to manage some kids, I'll hold the door, even if they're a longer distance away. So that they don't have to speed up, I simply announce, "Take your time, I'm in no hurry".
When the geese are the US, they're basically vacationing. They come back here to build nests and raise their offspring, hence the protective/aggressive mood.
Canadian secret to icy winter driving = SNOW TIRES!!!! A lot of people in will Canada switch the tires on their car from regular all season tires to snow tires during the winter months. Snow tires have deeper treads and are made up of a different composition of rubber which grip much better in colder temperatures and on snowy/icy roads. There are a bunch of videos on RU-vid that show demonstrations of snow tires vs regular tires in icy conditions and the difference is HUGE 🙂
@zoidumsmcconnell3041 I believe the regulations vary by province. Where I am in Canada, you can legally drive without them, but it is highly recommended that you have them. I get a discount on my car insurance because I put winter tires on my vehicle. I also 100% agree that driving without them is completely unsafe and that you put not only yourself in danger but everyone else around you as well. I have a kid and I take zero chances when I am driving her around in the winter!
The act of violence with the donut happens when it's put into the bag while the glaze is still very fresh and sticky, so it peels off of the donut and sticks to the inside of the bag. I'm a little sad just thinking about it.
The donut violence one is referencing how the fondant on Tim Hortons donuts always rips off of the donut, sticking to the inside of the bag. Always a sad moment
Tyler, I chuckle every time you say "sorry "!!! You've been watching so much Canadian content, you're picking up our mannerisms. Too funny. And yes, you do know stuff! Cheers!!!
They are called studded tires or chain up if it’s really bad?! I live in Alberta and I’ve never known anyone here to be attacked by geese unless the person started it. I’ve tried to do nice things in the winter and I got in trouble cause then they had to de-ice. So I don’t do it anymore, unless we have an agreement. The donut icing fell off! Lol ! I’ve seen Moose hit semis the Moose walks away and the semi is waiting for a tow truck!! If the person has their arm’s full and it’s cold out close the door wait for them to get closer then reopen the door, everyone knows that 💕🙏🏻
My favorite door interaction is when you enter a double doored entry with a vestibule between them, and you hold the door for the person coming out but they stop and hold the door for you coming in, then there is this awkward few second stare down where each party determines who will let go first and be rude....but this is Canada, so ya both give the door a shove so the door has maximum closing time after you leave your post, and then rush to the other door while saying thanks as you pass each other in the vestibule. Is known as a Canadian Standoff.
As to the Geese "minefield" thing, Canadian Geese have a bad wrap in Canada for being aggressive, because they only really around during mating, and raising seasons. They come here and nest, make babies, teach babies, then they typically migrate south for the winter....because they typically spend their breeding and rearing periods in Canada they are often much more hostile as they are defending their nests and young. Another thing that makes them more hostile is during the spring and summer the adult birds actually shed (molt?) their flight feathers for about a month, making them incapable of really being able to escape a situation they don't want to be in, which of course limits their choice in a "fight or flight" scenario, adding another layer to why they are aggressive...when most birds would just fly away. So due to them being present during their mating/breeding/rearing seasons, and then adding on that the adults lose their ability fly properly and in some cases not at all, this is why they are so aggressive, and they don't fear anything...they will attack animals, people, vehicles (ive had one attack my forklift at work because I was moving bins to close to a nest.) Also to the labeling the map, its awkward because Saskatchewan is a long name but the province on a print out is very narrow. So often you end up writing Sask., or Saskatch-ewan in 2 lines, or even some people (who i believe are crazy) turn the maps sideways and write the full name to take advantage of the space. Its the only province that has this problem really, New Brunswick fits no problem, Nova Scotia fits no problem, and Prince Edward Island can be written in the ocean, Same with Newfoundland.
I was in Vegas a few years ago during the winter when the Canada Geese were in a park/pond area, and were chasing people as well. Twas a bit too early for mating season, and no eggs or goslings around. It's quite possible it was a kid or even an adult getting too close and they felt threatened. I didn't see the lead up - only the commotion.
I think the road rage one was because they were in a drive thru it looked like so he’s sitting there holding everyone up just to piss them off the guy behind him filming if I were to guess probably honked his horn at him and maybe even said hey buddy scrap your windows off so he just said ok and did it right in the middle of the drive thru 😂
Remember when you learned that our geese are here during nesting and raising babies. They are very territorial and protective. Once the babies are grown enough to make the trip, they fly south for the winter. They fly to your town where they chill in the sun with their families. Bet you’ve never seen a baby goose lol.
The driving on ice bit killed me, The first time I ever drove it was just after a freezing rain fall in December. There are crazy Canadians that will drive on anything that won't destroy the vehicle.
Also yes we see moose on a regular basis and they are polite enough to use the cross walk in towns but on the highways there are no cross walks, so heads up.
The terrifying thing about moose is that theyre just tall enough that when a car strikes it, it just hits the mooses legs - causing the moose to crush the car completely, my cousin unfortunately passed away in a moose collision.
McCain Deep and Delicious cakes are found in the freezer aisle in Canada. There is Chocolate, Vanilla, or Marble. The Marble also has chocolate icing. They cost less than $8 and are supposed to be cut into 8 equal servings.
The holding the door open thing: So I'm a wheelchair user who lives in an apartment, and it is at the end of a 15 car long parking lot. Someone while I was still on the sidewalk gestured if I needed help while at the door of the building, I gestured no, so he went inside... Then when I was halfway there he popped back and just stood in the door... And asked again if I needed help when I got to the ramp, and just stood in the door watching as I pushed myself up, because I don't like random people pushing me...
I absolutely got the confused stare when I ordered pop from someone when in the states and had to apologize and say soda instead. It might also be due to the accent. Americans say it a lot more like "pap" than "pop" to my Canadian ears so it probably sounded like I was saying something foreign to her. Some americans have a really pronounced "pap" sound and how strongly the sound difference varies, but Tyler even has a hint of the "pap" sound when he says it, but not strongly.
Re: driving on a road covered in "black ice" (ie. clear, perfect, rink-like ice). Yes, it's very dangerous, but doable with studs (winter tires with protruding metal knobs - like rugby cleats) and 4 wheel drive.
Not only is it not snowing in Canada all year round, I have spent a few Christmases in Ottawa where there wasn't any snow until just before Christmas or shortly afterwards. While brown Christmases may be warmer, they are less cheery and can be a little depressing compared to white Christmases. So, snow can be nice occasionally.
Canadian geese don't just live in Canada! They live year round in the US, and as far away as Briton. Probably other countries as well. They are only aggressive while protecting their young.
As a Canadian, if someone says "Thank you" to you, most of us will say "You're welcome" back or sometimes "Oh, no problem." In the states I was shocked at the number of ppl who either did not respond at all (😮) or grunted "mhmm". Like, wth is that?
Deep and Delicious is a cake product from McCain - a company that has a diverse portfolio including bread, pastries/cakes and potatoes (french fries). its angel food cake with pudding on top.
😆 😆 😆 This one is hilarious. Thx Tyler. 😅 The moose - would never see in big cities, no! Lol. And that’s one thing that unites us - our complaining or praising our weather! 🤣
5:50 [cleaning the back window] This is actually a common problem with irresponsible drivers. Not clearing of the back window means you see nothing in your rear-view mirror. Some skip it out of laziness, but it's pretty unsafe. This video is taken in a Tim Horten's drive through, so that person drove away from their home with no ability to see behind them.
For soda, pop, coke or whatever, we also say soft drink in Canada. The température calendar was probably from Toronto. With Vancouver those two large cities are the warmest. Way cooler with the other ones. We also have dear crossing in cities.
I promise you, the person holding the door open for someone thats a ways from the door: they panicked. They panicked about being rude, decided to hold the door, and immediately regretted it when they realized how far the person actually was. But it was too late, shutting it then would _definitely_ be rude, so they're stuck. Ive been on both sides
Holding the door....takes on a serious meaning when it's minus 10 and snowing like mad. Also, if the sidewalk is really icy it's unacceptable to make a person hurry. Sometimes I'll say, (loudly), something like, "Be careful, it's really slippery, I'll wait." Eating in someone else's car. I would never even consider it. The only obvious exception would be if we've gone through the drive-thru together and we plan to eat in the car.
I tell people "I literally have all the time in the world" or "I took how far away you were into account when I decided to hold the door" and "don't hurry" in any case. They still always speed up (except for two I can remember: an older person with mobility issues and the epitome of a "businessman" that probably never considers others anyway)
During the winter time, some of the roads are so icy that you can skate on it. You need to drive a certain way to get around on the ice. Life doesn’t stop in Canada when winter hits. We need to get around somehow. We also have winter tires and they have a compound on them to where they don’t freeze like regular, all season tires do. All seasons below a certain temp will freeze and will be like hockey pucks. Not cleaning the ice and snow off your car, windows is not only dangerous, it’s also illegal. Some people are that lazy and will not clean their vehicle off even though we have winter every year. McCain Deep & Delicious is a cake you can get at the grocery store. Some doughnut shops put them in a paper bag and the frosting will all come off in the bag. So when you pull it out of the bag, it has nothing on it because it got left in the bag. I remember one time I held the door open for 6 people, each of them all said, “thank you.” One time I held the door opened for a Mom & a Daughter and they didn’t say thank you. When I walked through the door I yelled, “you’re welcome!” August is hot in a lot of places. Soon will be winter, I mean September. It doesn’t snow all year but some places get winter 9 months of the year. Arctic cold comes down through the Prairies and we can get down to -50 in the dead of winter. Layers of clothes, heated coat will do you wonders. When I was a kid I would reply with saying, “huh!” I’d get into trouble and then be reminded to say, “pardon me.” Sometimes some people will walk faster to get the door. Haha! They’re trying to figure out how to spell Saskatchewan LOL.
I love the Canadian geese duality. I have fed many a goose, had full flocks of goslings waddle past me in parks and the beach. I have also been chased from way farther than I thought was threatening to them and the male took flight and flew after me on my bike. As a kid when we would have a freezing rain day in the winter, it was a bonus because you could skate to the pond for hockey. In all honesty it only happened once. The passive aggressive cleaning of the rear window is classic!! LMAO It is rooted in safe winter driving.
@@damonx6109 You seem really upset over grammar. While the proper name is as you said Canada Goose, in the context of online message boards expecting proper grammar is a waste of time. You know what is being conveyed. chill.
Canada geese even make it to Norway. They must have some sort of fighter jet DNA. PSA: Please keep them within your borders, if you can. It's the only thing my 45 kg German Shepherd is afraid of.
Driving in winter conditions like snow and ice just becomes habit and you dont even think about it anymore. Snowstorming outside? No biggies! Gotta go get that Tims!
The number of Canadian animals that have learned to use crosswalks is hilarious. They seem to know how and where to cross. EDIT: As to the door, my rule of thumb is if they are close enough that it will close mostly before they get to it then they are close enough to hold it. If they are farther than that though, I just keep going. Unless it is a senior, a pregnant woman, a disabled person or an injured person. Or a person who has full hands. Then I will always hold it and wait until they are safely through. I do not expect them to do the run though.
In the spring we can have at least one young moose get lost in Ottawa. They swim across the Ottawa River and end up in residential areas, on the main highway or in someones backyard. They are usually removed sedated
First time I ordered a soda in english by myself was in florida with my parents when I was young. I tought the word for it was liquor because in french canada "liqueur" is often used to say soda or pop. My father had to explain to the waitress I wasn't asking for alcohol... I was 12 and I wasn't very fluent in english. Back then we started learing english like 1h a week in school around 2 year prior so they were not really in a hurry to explain a bunch of kids how to have a conversation about alcohol...
When I was a kid at home growing up and one of my parents would say something and I didn't hear them I would have to say "pardon" or "yes", if I said "what" I would get a swat across the arse.😄
the last one i think is that no matter how many times you tried to write it, Saskatchewan would never fit across the spot on the paper and it looked weird to write it vertically (Canadian here)
