It’s not that Canadians are normal and appear nice because of Americans…it’s actually that you have no clue what you’re talking about because you’re stereotyping and being a bandwagon. 🙄

For us it was less about better beer, but that the drinking age (18) was three years lower than in the US (21). But in the 70s American briefly had a similar drinking age before we were deemed too immature to handle our alcohol.

I'm sure the Belgian 12% (or whatever) beer isn't drunk in same quantities as milder beers.

lol Yeah, but by the time your Belgian waiter brings it to you the Canadian has had time to drink 3.

@@seneca983 Well we have beer around 8.5% and they're drunk in quantities of 33cl. It depends on the drinker, but normally by the time you finished one of those 8.5% beers someone else finishes 2 milders beers. These beers are also reserved for more special occasions. At a party you're not going to find these but for instance at a wedding you'll find them.

@@seneca983 At least in the german south 1 normal beer (5-5,5 %) is usually served as 1l (1/4 Gallon) and strong beers (8-10%) are usually served in 0,5l doses. People usually drink 3-4 of them.

It makes sense that the non-rebelious British colonies would want to distinguish themselves from us Yankees. After all, you're not American so you have no patriotic allegiance to our country. It's more just that I didn't think about it as much until I started watching JJ's videos

i mean speaking as a Canadian, i love both America & Canada, but i’m still proud to be Canadian & it’s not about “just not being an American.” there’s many reasons to be patriotic about both of these lovely countries & they’re not all related to each other.

@@lilacsbby4787 Oh yes there certainly are a lot of reasons to be proud to be a Canadian too, no doubt. You guys backed the allies from the start in both World Wars instead of waiting around like us, you have much more welcoming immigration laws than us, plus (despite JJ disliking it) you guys have a Westminster style government which is far less prone to populism than ours is (I mean just look at us right now).

Which country

I've heard it's also the sense we have the weakest memories attached to. It's very difficult to vividly remember a smell.

@@JJMcCullough I've heard the exact opposite (along with the evolutionary explanation that smell has developed earlier than other senses).

@@JJMcCullough For me it's kinda hard to remember a smell out of nowhere, but when I smell something I always have a very vivid memory associated with it, especially if it's a less common smell.

Hey KhAnubis! I love your videos!

Hello!

It's also a myth that the USA declared War in 1812 out of a greedy desire to annex Canada. The US Congressional record shows that prior to the vote to declare war on the British Empire, the goals of ending the British practices of impressment and arming the natives on the frontier were debated. There was no debate on annexing Canada. That's not to say that annexation wasn't a possible outcome of the war, just that it wasn't the reason that Congress voted to declare war. It's also worth noting that the congressmen who voted for war were overwhelmingly from the southern and western United States. Adding more free states in the north wasn't something the southerners would want. At the time the US was much more interested in expanding westward, where the land would be easier to acquire, more valuable for farming, and more likely not to upset the delicate balance between free states and slave states.

@@electricpizza5774 Annexing Canada seemed to be a PROBABLE outcome!

@@Blaqjaqshellaq The goals of the war as evidenced in the Congressional debate record were ending impressment and the arming of natives on the frontier. The status of British North America following the war wasn't part of the debate. Saying that the USA went to war against Britain in 1812 out of a greedy intention to annex Canada while Britain was fighting France is like saying that the USA went to war with Japan in 1941 out of a greedy intention to acquire islands in the Pacific while Japan was busy fighting China. In neither case did the declaration of war by Congress have anything to do with possible territorial acquisition following the war. The fact that northern states voted against the declaration of war in 1812 while southern states voted for the declaration of war in 1812 illustrates this point. If the war was about territorial acquisition, one would expect that the northern states would have voted for it and the southern states would have voted against it since adding more northern states would have decisively changed the balance of power regarding the hotly contested slavery issue.

​ @Electric Pizza It's almost like you don't push your best case scenario intentions before you're in a position to do so militarily when you attack one of the greatest powers in the world, something ATT they all expressed fear about. Curious how that is. Next thing you'll tell me is that the Mukden incident was the reason Japan declared on China and totally not fabricated by the Japanese army as a reason to declare, I mean I am sure the records all state it was an attack on them, so why would you question it? Statements made when the going seemed good is more reliable than "congressional records", i.e politics: General William Hull and Alexander Smythe issued proclamations to Canadians and their troops that assured them that annexations would actually occur during the war. Smythe wrote to his troops that when they entered Canada, "You enter a country that is to become one with the United States. You will arrive among a people who are to become your fellow-citizens." This was the mood in general when the war seemed good, keep all of it to push out a fear of Britain getting interests on America again and using Canada as the staging ground, and that this annexation would hinder British ability to mess with America's trade on the sea like they were doing for future wars Britain might have, the former being one of the stated reasons America declared and a problem that could as well be remedied this way by territorial concession. This kind of double speak is a common strategy to sell unjustifiable or unpopular but desired aims on paper through a technicality that implies something else. Though you'd kind of have to be blind to think America wasn't going to push and at least go for territorial concessions in this war despite it not being "the stated reason". Of honoring treaties, Britain had already signaled that their desired concessions for a buffer state that went back way before 1812 would violate the treaties, so there would be justification to expand up for the US. Now you can believe that statement, or that Americans invaded to occupy it "temporarily" to stop Britain sinking ships and disrupting trade, y'know, in a time of great American nationalism and expansionism when Britain just so happens to be fighting a dude who seems unstoppable. You can believe that American expansionism threatening British interests in NA is a "myth", despite the British repeatedly demanding the creation of an Indian buffer state to curb expansion west in their peace deals. That Americans went to at least SEIZE territory is not disputed, which leaves you with a very obvious question. What is more likely to you, that if they are in a position to annex it that an expansionist America will return Canada? You'd have to assume Americans were ran by absolute morons if that was the case. America had long eyed Canada as a potential threat to their experiment, Britain (Canada in those days was basically just British West) on the border sitting like a thorn to American expansionist ideals by arming natives and a constant fear of invasion. Any chance the British would concede this territory and they would have taken it, no question.

@@LetsGoGetThem The discussion is regarding *why* war was declared. Congress is the only body with the power to declare war. The congressional debate record is quite clear on why war was declared. Any statements made by generals (who have no political power) or hypothetical discussions of what a peace settlement may have looked like after the war started are irrelevant to the discussion of *why* the war was declared in the first place.
