Canadians don't consider it as our Independence Day. It is the day that the modern country of Canada was born; thus it is more like our Birthday.

@sweetpixiesmile 11 месяцев назад

I think they are comparing it so that American viewers will have an understanding of what Canada Day is.

@lucforand8527 11 месяцев назад

@@sweetpixiesmile Agreed, the celebrations are similar in many ways; its just the reason that is different. It is also important to say that as in the US; celebrations are not the same across either country.

@MonctonSEOGuy 11 месяцев назад

Yes, that is 100% correct

@marcushamaker 11 месяцев назад

Yeah funny eh? When I heard it I cringed a little. We are in fact not independent in a sense as we are a commonwealth state. But a good comparison for Americans I guess 😊

@lyledeevore1389 10 месяцев назад

Americans should know that when they are in a different country and the money has a queen or king on one side then that country is most likely not going to be celebrating INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

@ulitimate.traveler 11 месяцев назад

As a native Canadian, I love that you were there to witness our culture. The first dancer in yellow is a Fancy Dancer, they are incredible, move super fast, i don't know how they can dance so fast without passing out. The next two dancers were Chicken Dancers, not traditionally old dancing style but still fun to watch. The next one who is holding hands with the people is a Grass Dancer, traditionally these dancers begin ceremonial tradition for such things as pow-wow's, it starts with them. Lastly, when everyone is holding hands dancing in a circle, its called a round dance, traditionally it's a way of bringing people together from different tribes and cultures. When dancing, the people follow the path of the sun. I'm so happy you included this in your video, enjoy your time visiting our great country. Hiy-Hiy Kinanâskomitin (Thank You)

The best poutine in Canada is in Quebec, hands down...!!! It originated there....

@robertpearson8798 11 месяцев назад

But I’m sure it was still a lot better than McDonald’s.

@macgyveriii2818 11 месяцев назад

True. Thankfully poutine isn't some fancy dish. It's simple enough to make tasty in a variety of ways. Just need the basics: tasty gravy, fresh curds, fries that can take the moisture.

Welcome to Alberta guys! Fun fact - The Canadian Rockies acts as the defacto border between Alberta and British Columbia. Because of the elevation in this part of the country, the summer sun doesn't set until 1030-11pm. Enjoy the long exploration days!

@brentwoodbay 11 месяцев назад

Nothing to do with the elevation! LOL It's to do with the latitude and also how far west it is in the time zone!

@redgreenbeambih 11 месяцев назад

Here’s a fun fact also, Canada never fought for their independence. They just took it.

Don't miss Takakkaw Falls in Yoho....You'll have some fun driving the mountain switch-back section in your van, but it's well worth the trip...You saw the sign on your way to Kicking Horse camp....I'd hit the gondola lift overlooking Banff also...!

You both look like you are having a blast - Thanks for the video and yes you needed to document your dream -- I hope this helps All those who celebrate Canada as their home and native land celebrate Canada Day on July 1st. The day commemorates the anniversary of the Constitution Act, which consolidated three territories into the single nation of Canada, way back in 1867.

@paulp792 11 месяцев назад

Great episode. As a Canadian, thank you for the way you approached Canada Day. You were enthusiastic and eager to celebrate almost as one of us - temporary citizens. Glad you found a better poutine and got a better idea of what we rave about. The funny thing is that was probably a decent ish poutine… and many would argue about the poutine being better where they are. I’m not from there, but many feel like poutine in Quebec is the best… it definitely is partly because they have really great fresh curds there. Enjoy every minute!

If are looking for another Park, try Waterton Lakes, and the Crypt Lake hike. It is worth the trip. It is the Northern (Canadian) part of an international park, Glacier is the Southern part in Montana.

@akiwiincanada 11 месяцев назад

Agreed that the Banff Hot Springs definitely has that "public pool" vibe. I was so disappointed when I first visited too. If you want a nicer option, the Nordic Spa at Kananaskis is a short drive away and is 1000% better. Loving the sunset shots from Banff, it really is a beautiful spot.

@unpluggedkiwi1063 11 месяцев назад

Around 30 years ago I was in the hot pools (39d C/108d F) at Hanmer Springs (South Island, New Zealand) after dark and it started to snow. Sitting in the hot water up to my neck, looking up watching the snow fall through the lights and land on my face was quite an experience.

12:20 mark: The prominent mountain is Castle Mountain. In 1946, the mountain was renamed "Mount Eisenhower" in honour of the famous World War II general, who led the Normandy invasion. In 1979, the government reverted the name back to Castle Mountain, although one of the peaks is still known as the Eisenhower Peak.

Johnson canyon is a beautiful place in the summer but in the winter it is spectacular!!! it is cold but, with that comes ice, the falls are almost deserted and absolutely amazing. no crowds, winter quiet (Canadians know what i mean by that), and a completely different experience. i love that you guys are having such a great time in our wonderful country, welcome ♥

@kathleenchild 11 месяцев назад

It’s so interesting, I am a Canadian born and raised in Quebec in the 50’s and I never heard of poutine until the late 80’s or 90’s. Yet now it a dish Canada is known for??? I lived it Calgary in the 70sand 80s so Banff is my old stomping grounds. I used to camp at Tunnel Mountain, soak in the hot springs and hike the trails around Alberta and BC.

@robertpearson8798 11 месяцев назад

I would have thought that all of those black bean tacos would have prepared you for the aroma of the hot springs😉 I visited a hot spring in northern B.C. once that was an actual stream with a natural bottom (Liard Hot Springs). It smelled the same and the further you went upstream the hotter it got until there was a point where it was just too hot to go any further.
