Publicly funded universal healthcare. Publicly funded national broadcaster. Publicly funded primary secondary and post secondary education (very few private colleges and universities). A Social Democratic Party (like the Labour Party in Britain). Enshrinement of reproductive rights in the Charter of Rights. Same sex marriage enshrined in law. No capital punishment. Indigenous reconciliation slowly making its way. Some of the things missed that make Canada different.
Another video about Canada that might interest you is Operation Yellow Ribbon, by journalist Tom Brokaw.It's about Canada and what it did during 9/11 and centres around the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. It's well worth the watch even if you don't react to it.
Immigration (legal) was over 400,000 in 2022 into Canada, and by 2025 it may hit 500K per year. Every major metro city has many community festivals representing other Countries, cultures and food during the year. Population is USA 9 to each 1 in Canada. Crime is 66 to 1, homicides are 145 to 1 in Canada, and Canadians have FOUR years longer (Life Expectancy). COVID deaths are 33 to 1 due to Healthcare is considered as Human Rights, a free 911 service like Fire or Police calls. No charge, no cost for births, or Hospital time. (except visitor parking fees) cheers... (39 Million pop - 2021 Census data)
27 USA states are actually farther north than the southernmost part of Canada! The furthest north indeed is within the north pole ARCTIC circle. Canada's government, history, culture, social institutions and just society in general is totally different. Very much two very different countries. seems usa likes to compare their country to every other country as the better one...LOL 38 C here today we call it summer, and dam it's rough on my igloo
It is not Ottowa, it is Ottawa. He pronounce Nunavut wrong. It is Noonavoot. Alberta has the third largest gas and oil reserve in the world. New Brunswick is officially English and French. Argo has false aspects of it. The video you watched is not really the best. The person on it is he a Canadian? Eskimo is wrong. Edmonton has the world's largest cultural festival in the world, Heritage Days. Come and travel Canada. My family and I drove a motorhome across Canada.
We don't hate you. The word "Canadian" comes from the French "Canadien." Canadiens were the original Canadians. Many of their descendants live in Québec and other parts of Canada to this day.
Really?? Canada was a native word that translated to village. The original canadians were indigenous people... the rest of us were colonizers. The French were definitely NOT original Canadi(e)ans. Jeez
He did skip the War of 1812, but that is history. (pun intended) There are many things he could include... but let's face it the video would be VERY long if he tried to get most of it in.
It would take many hours, even days, to cover all Canadian regions. One tidbit, little known in USA I think, is that the White House was once burned down by forces from Canada
The Territories have the largest reserves by land area, not number or population. The vast majority of Aboriginal people in Canada live in the south. And yes, he left a lot out but you can only fit so much into a few minutes.
A) You should check rugby (we in Finland are not in cricket - rugby is cooler, though we don't play it) B) When you get on your country list to Finland, it's much more accurate about foods etc. He's developed a lot since the first one's!
He didn't explain the difference of Commonwealth (54 countries) and Commonwealth Realm (15 countries), to put it simply the Realm still sees the British monarch as theirs... Typical revisionism from the USA. War Plan Red now touted as a wargame long before governments played those games was in existence right up to the 1930's... The USA tries to recreate it's history to paint itself in a better light. It only records two invasions into Canada in 1775 and 1812, but there were several "unofficial" armed incursions fought off by Canada that seem to be missing from their record?
