CANADA VS USA | WE AREN'T THE SAME! 

Im Korean but my son was born here in Canada. One day he fell and he said sorry. My wife and I were like, he is Canadian.

American: Where’s the bathroom? Canadian: Where’s the washroom? Scot: Where’s yer shitter?

Canada is like the chill version of America

“Oh, you say washroom? That’s so polite” *laughs in british loo*

I’m Canadian and have never heard any Canadian say Hey instead of eh

"In Québec sometimes people speak french"..... does this girl actually know anything about Canada? Québec is 95% french. And no we are not always polite.

She seems like a Canadian who lived in USA all her adult life

I’m Canadian and I say bathroom. It kinda depends on what province you grow up in, cause Canadian slang varies a shit ton from toronto to Alberta to Vancouver or Quebec.

not the best representative for Canada

I'm from the UK and the USA and Canadian accent sounds the same to me, like I see no difference!!!

Americans: Canadians are so polite! Me a Canadian: pounding my cousins kneecaps* yep, we are nice

As an American, I've meet a few Canadian people before and they've been nothing but really nice. I really enjoy having conversations with you all. Wish you all the best 👍

Americans visiting Canada: "It's like the US, but it's clean!" 🤣

I’m from Ontario and I never heard a Canadian say “hey” or “aboot”

We in Canada chose to establish Thanksgiving in October to de-conflict from Remembrance Day which is always November 11 at 11:00 AM. Plus, many regions already did a Thanksgiving style celebration in October because of the earlier harvest.

I am West Canadian and always say “bathroom”, “sau-ry”, “right”, “beanie” and always go to Starbucks.

I feel like she is trying to insult us Canadians. We speak very similar. Most of us don’t say a boot.

The “saying sorry a lot” thing is real af.. I once stubbed my toe and apologized to the wall...

Literally NO ONE in Canada says "aboot" that's like an American mocking how we talk, but that's not how we say it. Sure, it's kind of deeper, but not to that point

I live in Toronto 🇨🇦 but I’ve never heard people say “aboot or hey” 😂 “eh” yes people do sometimes use it. Thanksgiving is celebrated here in Canada during the months of October in celebration of the Fall Harvest 🧡

I'm Canadian..i've never said "a-boot" or "Hey". Pleeeeease. This girl doesn't not represent Canada.

The politeness thing is so overblown. I think Canadians are very welcoming and hospitable to visitors, tourists, immigrants etc.. But nice to each other? Not a chance....the hockey fights, the bar fights, the road rage...cmon.

I like both american and canadian. North America and germany are so friendly for asian tourists. from S.Korea 😭

There is 1 thing you will always hear in a Tim Hortons: “Yea, I’ll take a Double Double.”

as a canadian, this girl is getting so many things wrong. The thanksgiving one hurts me

Canada is huge, west speaks differently than the east. then there is Newfoundland...

I left Canada 43 years ago and still cannot finish a sentence without "eh? ". Canadians enunciate their words more clearly I think, where in the USA it's so much about what state you grew up in, there are so many variables. When I first moved to Texas I had to learn how to speak much more slowly. Interesting subject.

Being a Canadian myself, when I say 'eh', I pronounce it without the 'ae' sound, but more as the 'e' sound in 'better'.

One time I accidentally bumped into a wall. I said sorry to the wall.🇨🇦 oof

"in Quebec sometimes people speak French" hahahah wtf they speak English sometimes!!

Thanksgiving in Canada has to do with the harvesting of crops. It, more or less, represents the end of harvest, where a feast was put on for the workers that helped with harvesting the crops. I could be mistaken in this, but that is what I remember from school many many many years ago.

Canada is an amazing Country

Canadian here in Ontario 🙋‍♀️ we do talk so different from Americans eh?

Thanksgiving in Canada is in October is because its the time of harvest

"Canadians are so polite" Trevor, exists: am I a joke to you?

Well, I say bathroom at home, but everywhere else I say washroom. It's more polite.

When americans say "bathroom", I always imagine them bathing in the toilet.

I feel so triggered as a Canadian right now..🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Funny! I date an American and we have had some good giggles. I made him watch Letterkenny for a good idea of our lingo. You have touched on so many of them:) Sometimes when you say something fast you hear it...like "a boot"

There are cultural and language differences within both the US and Canada. I am Southern and this is reflected in both my accent and my culture, both somewhat different from someone in New England or California. I would imagine a French Canadian is somewhat different from a Canadian from British Columbia who is also different from someone from the Maritime provinces. But lets be honest - we are talking about minor differences. We are a lot more similar than we are different.

Canada Like USA Comment

Thanksgiving in Canada is earlier because colder climat and we harvest sooner in the season.

I’m a Canadian man from Nova Scotia and Zoey you are one beautiful Canadian woman.I also love America as well :-)

Most interesting conversation! Thanks lot!

canadian: washroom american: restroom me: bathroom

Canadian Thanksgiving is earlier since the harvest is sooner because winter is quickly approaching, eh?

The reason for thanksgiving in October is that it is a harvest festival. By November in most of Canada, the ground would be frozen by November, hardly a time of harvest.

Them: Bathroom Washroom Restroom Me: comfortroom

Literally picked the one person who knows nothing about canada lol

i’m canadian and 1. we say bathroom, washroom and restroom 2. we say tuques sometimes but usually just beanies or hats 3. we (at least me) definitely say the word “right” after sentences lol, but a lot of people say “eh” not including me 4. all people i know say pasta differently there isn’t a distinctly canadian way to say it 5. tim hortons i believe was just recently bought by burger king (i think) but we’ve had timbits forever and we’ve had sandwiches there for sooo long, i don’t think it’s been just bagels donuts and coffee for like a long long time, it’s also just as good as it’s always been in my lifetime 6. for me personally growing up, we had kind of a negative connotation with americans because you guys knew nothing about us but we know so much about you, also you guys are so obsessed with your own country and the whole “america is the greatest country in the world” thing it was kind of just like we saw americans as crazy people across the border lol THAT being said though i love going to the states bc you guys have so many more stores and cool food that we don’t have (ex. you guys have SO MANY flavours of oreos it’s actually insane) and also your serving sizes at restaurants is incredible 7. when i travel, and most people i know travel, we don’t want to be called american bc no offence a lot of countries around the world don’t like americans but they like canadians so if you travel with a canadian flag, in my experience people are so nice and they come up to you and like to ask us about it

You guys are really charming discussion I was bound to finish video. Great going

That’s awesome , here in Texas we say “you good” And it can be used as a question regarding concern for one’s well being or it can be used as a way to start a fight with someone. it can also be used as another way to say “your gonna be okay”

Who the frick says “hey” instead of “eh”?

America vs Canada: an enchanting brunette with brown eyes vs an enchanting blondie with blue eyes. The perfect match.

Canadian Thanksgiving is more about the arrival of the harvest season and being grateful for that

Americand: 5th grade Canadians: Grade 5 🤔🤔🤔

Her scattered description of Canadian healthcare really speaks to how little we have to think about healthcare as canadians xD Let me clarify: General healthcare is covered by the taxes you pay. If you need to visit a hospital, you just do. There's no "billing" section of the hospital, you just go. The things she was refering to (dental, optometry, chiro, ect) are things NOT covered by Canadian Universal Healthcare. Those things are covered by the extra healthcare 99% of employers offer to their employees. It IS extra, but most workplaces offer some extended healthcare option to help cover those costs.

theres a lot a different accents everywhere in Canada as well, she forgets that there's a lot of place they speak french in Ontario, New Brunswick, etc. Their english is different as well. I dont think she know much about her country

Canadian Thanksgiving is always the second Monday in October. Celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year.

Two angelic faces !! Thanks for the lesson. Interesting.

Blonde Canadian chick needs to take some Canadian lessons....

FYI “Are Afraid of the Dark?” and “Goosebumps” are Canadian productions 😂

American: Where is my car? Canadian: Where is my moose?

When I was travelling through both countries and got to know the people a bit, I had the impression that the main difference is how Canada is run ( stricter gun laws, less crime, stronger sense of solidarity and community life ) so the perception of values is a bit more similar to Europe but the mentality of the English speaking was pretty much the same in the rest.

This girl isn’t Canadian she really said “Walmart” you telling me you’ve never gone to “the real Canadian superstore”

I feel like she's not actually Canadian

For a start, in Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on a different date to the US holiday. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October, as that is when the Canadian harvest would be complete.

Love learning about Canadians and Americans. I’m British and 100% we know Canadians are not the same as Americans and it’s a huge no no to get them mixed up

I'm watching this because I fell in love with a Canadian girl, but then she broke my heart. She did say sorry though :D

Im sure there is a more informed Canadian to do this video with. She had no idea what she was talking about

It's Pizza and Pasta and Lesagna for us EVERY ThanksGiving Day!!

I'm pretty sure that we Canadians have Thanksgiving earlier, because it gets colder faster here, and the growing, and harvest season is different.

Canada has an earlier Thanksgiving because our harvest season is earlier. The US Thanksgiving is based on the harvest time for the area around the Mason-Dixie line and is still not appropriate for the harvest in the Northern states but it was what the government decided to use for the standardized holiday as a median between the north and the south. If we waited till the end of November to harvest food then frost would already ruin the crops and freeze the soil.

I don't know where the hell you got that Canadian girl but I don't talk like that

Mark Lee, a Canadian: It's like... it's like...it's like.. NCTzens: Mark, we understand.

Me as a Canadian who says bathroom: 👁️👄👁️

everyones complaining about the Canadian girl but the American girl doesn't know what she's talking about either

As a Canadian I can reassure you ZOE AINT CANADIAN

My heart breaks for people who don’t have free healthcare. From my understanding people can easily get in-debt when they are rushed to the ER. And then there’s the cancer treatment that can easily save lives, but they can’t afford it. And conditions that can cause serious harm without regular medication- like asthma, diabetes, etc. ... I can’t imagine...

As per Canadians apologizing a lot, when we apologize it's not really genuine. We also sometimes apologize passive aggressively. Us being over apologetic doesn't actually indicate we are polite. Quite the opposite, actually.

Its weird because I'm Canadian and lived here for all 18 years of my life and I say all the same things Americans say 😂😂 I say bathroom, beanies, etc and I don't have a Canadian accent at all

Where r u ma Canadiannnnnnnns!!!! 😘🇨🇦

Your right Canadians do say sorry a lot We are always apologizing for our noisy neighbours

Quite interesting issue! Useful piece of info.

Ok I wasn’t born in Canada but been living here for half my life, and this girl don’t seem to really know much about her own country. 🙄 like I could probably do a way better job than she did.

As a Canadian I can not get my time back that it took me to watch the first 5 minutes

We celebrate harvest for thanksgiving because our hard work growing all of our food is over for the year. It usually happens in late October because that is when our fall is. In November we are already getting snow.

American here growing up I was exposed to a lot of international TV. In my house we had 3 bathrooms. 2 up stairs with a toilet, sink, and tub and 1 down stairs with just a toilet and sink. Until I was like 12 years of age I thought the upstairs ones were bathrooms and the down stairs one was a powder room or washroom. Now I just say half bath or 2nd/3rd bathroom.

Thanksgiving in Canada is in October because of the difference in temperature it is colder in Canada so the harvest comes earlier then in America

We have Starbucks in Canada, too.

Speaking of accents... the US has several, broken down by locale. A southern drawl, Bostonian (Massachusetts), New York, West Coast (one part is like a Valley Girl mentioned by other commenters) and Midwest (which I laughed at one time when a Chinese student at my college mentioned that the Midwest lacks an accent). As well, there are even dialects. One example is carbonated drinks. It's soda in one region, pop in another and a third area I've even been asked what flavor of Coke I wanted. If they asked what flavor of Coke you wanted, they expected answers like Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, ice tea, etc.

Also, there is quite a range in Canadian accents. In the northern parts of the provinces and the east of the country, the accent is noticeable stronger, and Newfoundland has its own accent that sounds half-Irish. The Maritime provinces in general have a their own regional accent as well, whereas, the Western provinces are pretty much the same as each other, just that accent is a bit stronger in the northern parts, say, in Fort Macmurray vs Calgary.

Americans: I have to use the bathroom Canadians: I have to use the washroom Australians: I gotta shit mate

I think 'hey' is also a french canadian thing. In french we say 'hein' at the end of sentences in the same way :D

Thank you for sharing.

Thanksgiving in Canada is on the 3rd Monday in October. It is the end of the Canadian harvest, because of the weather being colder. So the harvest is celebrated earlier.

It's not FREE healthcare. Taxes pay for it. If you work, you pay.... for everyone.

You can TOTALLY tell if someone’s from Toronto to Vancouver lol. This women doesn’t even know when thanksgiving is lol she doesn’t know much.

America: you guys are so polite Canada: you guys are so dumb

Went to Canada years back... To attend a world competition. We commented to another bus passenger "how nice everything looked". She looked at us and said "don't believe what you see. The government picked up all the vagrants and dropped them off in another city, giving each one some money. They also painted everything (buildings) to make them look clean. Don't believe what you see, it's all a lie!" We were very surprised at the honesty during our conversation and enlightening. That city was Calgary.
