American Reacts to the BEST Canadian Memes 

So true, not "that" cold during a blizzard. -45C here last night and a crystal clear sky.

@@CraftAero The sky always looks even more clear than a normal clear night to me, when it's really cold, too.

@@SolexFox Seeing Sun dogs on a -40 day is pretty cool (pun intended). i.pinimg.com/originals/c1/cc/44/c1cc4453b78d826701ec50f25eedff58.jpg

Clouds keeps the heat in. Clear sky is when it gets deadly cold, add in northern winds and you're in for some pain.

@@SolexFox i also find the sound travels really well in the freezing cold

Americans almost always use the word *"negative"* , when talking about below zero temperatures.

I've always used minus, but I grew up in Michigan so maybe why??🤔

Today I walked in -30°C weather to the pool. The walk home, slightly damp and bundled in my parka, was a little nippy - my nose got cold.

@@hrayz that's awesome..lol... hope the walk was short -30c is a bit more than I'm happy with

facts

It's happened to me twice this year... someone always runs it with a massive order! Lol

@@carlyg4852 Lucky you! That's great!

This has happened to me 0 times in almost 30 years of living in Toronto lol. Big city problems 😂

This happen to me at least once a month in Québec.

@@TheZayGS I'm sad to hear that. I guess, because I live in the suburbs, it might be a more frequent occurrence, and the 'big city' perhaps isn't as 'giving'?

Like the saying, at least in French in Québec, that you know when someone is drunk driving when they go straight on the road and the one swerving is not cuz he’s avoiding the potholes.

Beware when you start asking for a double double next time you go for a coffee.

Double double..those who are with me order a double double I will gobble gobble at them because they sound like a Turkey. Lol

LOL... yeah, we do that, don't we?🤣 I'd probably cry if they confiscated that much maple syrup. You just know customs would be throwing a big pancake breakfast for themselves later!

Pure Maple Syrup is actually like a luxury item, it's very valuable due to the time it takes to produce them... If you tried to resell maybe a litre of it in America, it'd probably go several times it's original price. Though I think you can order them on Amazon on a price premium.

Nevermind, on the American amazon, It's not even in stock, except for a few. 32 fl oz (less than a litre) is $21 USD. Or roughly 90 cents an oz at minimum.

Lol me too they were laughing their assets off at the guy going through my 100 bottles lol

I went with a super cute farm girl and she did the "you are the cutest border guard I ever seen I do declare" joke. We were searched immediately

And then there's Alaska. I think we should make Alaskans honourary citizens of The Great White North

Minnesota also has moose and deer.

@@Caprabone yua, no kidding, it's not like the animals know what a border is, anymore than the weather. We all freeze the same, LOL !!

That's why their called little Canada

You forgot Wisconsin!

Oh my that would be a tad scary. The deer like salt so they will lick cars, dumpster bins and mailboxes in my neighborhood; Inglewood, Calgary, Alberta. Moose roam on the outskirts of Calgary, yet we mostly have Bears, Skunks, Squirrels of Black and Brown, Bob Cats, Coyotes, Beavers, Tasmanian Devils and the odd Porcupine. Moose are such silly animals it's hard to believe they are assholes and often their babies are alone...lol I hope your Moose stays.

Yeah, it's called a bunnyhug in Saskatchewan. Can confirm. Lived in Regina and Saskatoon for a few years.

I can also confirm it's called bunnyhug in Saskatchewan. I live in Saskatchewan. I also have ice cream all winter too. I'll also have a slush in the winter too

I grew up in BC and I also heard kangaroo jacket a lot. Specifically non-zipper ones with one big pocket in the front.

@@JennaGetsCreative Grew up in Newfoundland and Ontario and it was once called a kangaroo if it had a pouch and no zipper, otherwise called a hoodie!

@@Ms1up1down Kangaroo must not be popular in Newfoundland anymore. I've lived in Newfoundland since 2012 and I've never heard anyone say it.

never heard anyone call a hoodie a bunny hug .......... ever

I call it a bunnyhug

I'm surprised no one brought the keys to their door. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@andreafaloona4059 Depending on where they parked, they might not have known who to go to.

Here in Calgary...1st is a WARNING...2ND $285 00 AND 1 DEMERIT

Absolutely true

For real on that last one?

Yes for real.

@@bcpr9812 yeah I live in a city in Canada and my dad had 2 separate car break ins tow first time his wallet was stolen the second time he scared the guy away by yelling and nothing was there to steal.

I live in Northern Manitoba and polar bears are now venturing further inland from Hudson Bay to communities not used to dealing with polar bears like Churchill is. Grizzly bears are also moving further east. Vehicles and houses are left unlocked as refuge from polar bears and/or black bears. Many remote communities don't have roads in so if someone did take a vehicle they wouldn't be going very far.🙂

Easily the most triggering thing I see in these videos, is other Canadians saying, or Embracing this ... Bunnyhug.... Thing. Never heard this in my life until watching these reactions.. I hope it never spreads beyond whatever province it came from

​@@ajbiggs113 I've always called it a bunnyhug. It's pretty much just a Saskatchewan Saskatchewan term

Bunnyhug is definitely a Sask regionalism, but my bestie in Vancouver has been assimilated. Ha ha!

This boomer dosen’t lol it’s a hoodie.

Totally a Saskatchewan thing, I don't know anyone that calls a hoodie that, and I live next door in Manitoba !

@@bonitamacphee4313 lol respect. respect regardless. Have a great day!

I grew up in both Alberta and BC and I can confirm that we don’t say that in either province.

Yeah its strictly a Saskatchewan thing.

I thought it was a Manitoba term.

@@VeryCherryCherry Nope. I'm a 'Toban and we call them hoodies.

Most people call them hoodies, in fact I've never heard anyone call them bunnyhugs.

It’s just a sask thing. I’m from sask

At one point, my neighbourhood was so infested with them that there were 5 between my house and a mall a 20 minute walk away. One in a mall, one at a gas station with a drive through, another full service with just a parking lot right next door, one at a strip mall, one right across from that strip mall with a drive through, and then one in the same parking lot as my destination. And traffic at the gas station/full service got gridlocked going eastbound every morning because people were waiting to turn into the parking lots. Even installing double-drive throughs at their stores didn't help.

We have 2. In my town where I live. 1 is open 24/7, and the other closes at 10 pm

I'm a King Cole fan.

Pay it forward!

Actually I live in the province next door to Saskatchewan ( to the west ) and in all my years over 1/2 a century I’ve always called it a bunny hug. Different strokes for different folks.

Another Winnipeger here! Love my City!

Another Winnipeger too!

Hey guys. We're sure having a mild winter so far eh? I've actually walked outside many times without dying...leisurely!

Me too! I grew up in North End and West Kildonan. Back when it was really cold - in The 1940s before Global warming!

Smart guy :) 🇨🇦🍀

Date definitely checks out, but it's not written in American. It's in yy/mm/dd format.

Agreed. I grew up in BC and now live in Newfoundland. They're hoodies, sweaters/sweatshirts, or MAYBE kangaroo jacket (specifically the non-zip type with the unipocket in the front.)

I've always called it a bunnyhug. But, I live in Saskatchewan

Lived in Saskatchewan- call them bunny hugs too. There are many other differences across the country like eaves trough here and gutter in other places. Meals are breakfast, dinner and supper- but think that might have to do with farming communities and many many more!!

Yep. I grew up in Saskatchewan and called them bunnyhugs but then moved to BC. My son was mortally offended when I called his sweater a bunnyhug. :)

I agree-bunny hug is a Saski reference. When I was a kid in the 1960s/70s hoodies with pockets were called kangaroos.

Where do you live that you could do that? And yes I'm Canadian too

I've left my apt. door keys in the door overnight a couple of times, purely by accident. Each time, my neighbour knocked on my door to let me know.

I went downtown North Vancouver last summer, parked on Lonsdale and went shopping. I was gone for 2-3 hours and when I returned I couldn't find my car keys. I searched everywhere and finally found them...in the ignition of my unlocked car that had been running the whole time!

I live in a suburb of Montreal. A few years ago I went on vacation for 2 weeks and didn't realize that I hade left the back patio door open, just the screen door, and nothing happened to my place.

Yes me too actually! Leaving the keys in the front door happens.... and I’ve lived in quite a few places where I’ve never bothered to lock any of my doors.

Hey are you from Saskatchewan or Alberta? I wore bunny hugs for 20 years and now it's kangaroo jackets in Alberta. Snow hides hydrants and much more....I did slide down a quancit in Dalmeny, 1979/80

@@trixie6793 nope born and bred in good ol rural Manisnowba

tim hortons is horrible since it was bought out by the Miami USA based dirty burger joint "burger king"

I grew up in the NWT, we used to do that too.

We did that at camp....aka cottage...around Thunder Bay

Yea, I used to live a couple hours north of Toronto and the majority of times I saw bears it was at the dump lol

I lived in northern Ontario for 30+ years before moving to Toronto for my work. My car never got lost in the snow until Toronto got a freak blizzard and buried it! Saw my only episode of thunder snow that same storm. You haven’t lived until you have a thunderstorm with lightning in the winter. Awesome!

ANDREA....That's where I am now Thunder Bay....the town where we watched the bears was called Marathon...3 hrs east of Thunder Bay

Pretty much. I live in Saskatchewan & have always called it bunnyhug

If you are a Canadian there was no "snow plough", let alone "snow plow" in that picture, there was a snow blower with a man on a toboggan behind.

@TYLER_BUCKET. ??

@TYLER_BUCKET. not sure what you mean by, inbox me?

It's a scam don't engage

Holy crap, that's brutal, where I'm from it's anywhere between 3°c and - 3°c.

that's so true, its hurts to breath, and hair nostrils get frozen too! lol

@@rose-marie7351 yes! No one talks about how the cold makes your nose freeze shut haha

And your nose slams shut and freezes there! Can’t beat the -40 nose freeze!

We must be in the same part of the country. In the -40’s with the windchill here and extreme cold and blowing snow advisories for the last couple of days.

If you live in a region (town) where moose are common (as well as bears, as I do) the fear is more colliding with them on the road than seeing them in your yard (frequent). We have provincial signs stating "Zero or One Moose road accident so far this year". They definietly fall into the "if you leave them alone, they will leave you alone" category, but come to the roads to lick winter road salt off the edge of the road.

Nah, simply seeing a moose quite close isn't all that scary. Sometimes it's hilarious! A couple winters ago we accidentally scared one coming up on it on the skidoos and it slipped and fell twice getting away. Poor thing! Bear hanging around neighbourhoods is common in certain parts. They get used to the convenience of garbage cans, like overgrown raccoons. It's the cougars you will absolutely not see in a neighbourhood unless they've run out of things to hunt.

@@JennaGetsCreative Maybe you're not aware that most run very fast and will charge you and will kill you. Super dangerous animals

@@personincognito3989 Oh I'm aware, we hunt them.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

SW Ontario near Chatham?

guess you never thought to leave a tip when your order has been paid forward. Of course not, you're to into what you think what everyone else should be doing rather than what you could be doing your self. As for myself I leave a tip and sometimes and more often than not the cashier pays the next customers bill with it. I asked a cashier at the window about that and they replied that there was still enough for a tip left over. very cool.

I like to tip the young kids that work at fast food establishments but so many of them say we are not allow to except tips. WHY WHY WHY NOT. It’s a service.

@@bonitamacphee4313 Many companies are very clear the employees are not to accept anything from the customer and could be written up for that. One I worked at was a bit more lack with them not minding customers bringing in treats but tipping with money was still a no no weirdly lol. From what I've heard it's generally just servers that are commonly allowed to accept tips.

@@bonitamacphee4313 I know, right? One time at Costco I was in line at the food counter, watching the young man behind the counter working his butt off, always smiling, polite, efficient. After I ordered and paid, I offered him a large tip. He said as much as he appreciated the gesture he couldn't accept it. I asked "What if I'm a clumsy old fart and I drop all these coins on your side of the counter?" He said, "I'd have to pick them up and give them back to you and tell you to be more careful with your money, you clumsy old fart." My Jesus, I laughed!

@@Theodorussfo I do not, will not tip Tim Horton's workers to hand me a coffee out a window and get paid $15/hr to do it. Tipping culture and especially entitlement of tips has gotten totally out of control here in Canada.

I've visited his grave; someone left a coffe mug on the tombstone

Exactly! A Leaf who actually won The Cup!

I will have to respectfully disagree about Tim Horton's coffee being better than Starbucks and I think their food is pretty c***** too.

Look up the Miramichi moose man.

Bunnyhug is a Saskatchewan thing.

I've seen moose and bison trained to ride on when I was in Alberta. Never say never.

We don't get that much snow around here *usually* but as a kid I remember being relieved when we went sledding, that the snow was high enough to just snowmobile over the fences, so we wouldn't have to worry about gates. Sliding off the barn roof was amazing because you could just climb right onto the roof with the piles of snow. Also, as an adult, I had to shovel off the roof of my house, and jumping in the snowbanks and sliding off the roof into deep snow was still fun. A couple years ago we moved to another town in the area, and I wanted my trampoline. It was April and the snow was up to the mat still(yes, I leave it up all year! Kids love jumping on that thing in the winter!) So the kids and I went and dug that sucker out, took it apart, and loaded it up on a trailer, and it came with us. Ok, so maybe every 3rd year we have a pile of snow that burries trampolines, fences, cars(if they're parked that long) lol. I guess that's pretty often in the scheme of things. 😅 Right now we have had minus 40 weather for a few days....the sun is beautiful, but the cold makes it hard to be outside...and my washer drain froze while doing laundry yesterday....Canadian problems, eh? Sorry for the book. Lol 😜

Sounds like a typical Canadian winter. Merry Christmas.

@@mgjbutler you as well. Merry Christmas!!

It snows like that where I live. Three or four feet of snow in a twenty four hour period....nothing to us. But absolutely true, it does not happen everywhere in Canada.

The higher the age, the higher the percentage of tea drinkers.

Canada is the one of the largest consumer of tea even more then UK

If you were to average it out, every Canadian has over a cup of tea a day apparently. I'll guess that will get larger in time because of immigration. Tea is the number 1 flavored drink in the world. I have 3 or 4 cups a day.

I guess you could say that every part of our country experiencing winter, our population has a general obsession with warm beverages.

well those two places are barely Canadian anymore soooooooo

*shrug*, as someone who lived many years in Toronto (now in a small town), if you accidentally left your keys in your car door overnight there, the odds that they would still be there in the morning, as well as your car, is almost 100% as well despite the news and reputation.

@@_Y.Not_ It depends on the neighbourhood, I think.

I live in southern Ontario and Buffalo usually gets more snow than we do. The other weekend when Buffalo got 2m of 'Lake Effect' snow, I got around 5cm. Usually the amount of snow is relatively close, but Buffalo always seems to get more than I do.

100% The U.S. is huge, and the idea of snow in winter is not limited to just Canada. I'm not sure where Tyler lives, but sometimes I think he underestimates his own country. They have winter too

Newfoundland has snow and the equipment to do roads like this.

Thank you! I'd seen that picture before and couldn't remember where it was taken.

They have enormous plows in the Rockies, because there’s so much snow, which is where that photo was taken.

We shed the coats at the age of 6 and in grows the shorts and t-shirts, and we can never get the coats back

But she's a dry cold me son.

@@paulpower4284 Too be sure! Much different than a damp cold. That cuts right to the bone. I'd rather have my dry cold. At least my cold freezes you before it can reach my bones! Less aching! You don't feel anything after about 2 minutes. Haha!

These instances are very, VERY rare though. While moose are as intelligent as horses, they have a very different temperament making them far more difficult to tame and train as mounts. You can’t treat them like horses. You have to train moose in a completely different way, starting when they’re young calves and are still growing (unlike horses which are aloud to grow to full size before being broken and trained as mounts). In Russia they have domesticated moose, but for consumption and not as mounts or beasts of burden. Much like how we now have bison ranches raising bison for consumption the way we’ve been raising cows for generations. I think that some other members of the deer family are also domesticated and raised on ranches for consumption, but for some reason we don’t have moose ranches. Which is a pity because moose venison is delicious.

The hoodie was referred to as a kangaroo jacket.. as an alternative name.. I never hear that anymore..

@@pambp5978 I've never heard Kangaroo Jacket either. 👀

That's a great idea. I've had people pay for me before and I always feel bad when I can't pay it forward because I'm on a really tight budget (so why am I going through the drive-thru, you might ask), and I'm worried that I might not be able to afford the next person''s order. I like this idea of yours. i shall plan ahead for the next time. Smart!

True Canadian !!

I'm not rich. I live off a small disability but as long as I'm able to feed myself that's all I need in life. I don't need materialistic things or money to make me happy. My joy comes from the smiles of others. Giving will not only change your life for the better, but change others lives for the better. Giving just 1 thing and seeing the smile on another will change your life for ever I promise you. 🤗😘🇨🇦

If you feel like your life isn't that great try giving to another. See the smile on there face and it just might change you

One time i came out of a hotel in saskatoon and a moose was in the parking lot of a nearby mall

Same with logging trucks and transport trucks

Same

The Pirates of the North Saskatchewan!

Or maybe it was another Canadian
