As someone from Ontario (literally like 10 mins away from where they make chargers/challengers), I can say first hand how cool it is to see an entire car hauler full of demons and hellcats
It's not that drastic anymore, it's basically the same process for both to get RHD JDM now. Lots of places had made it harder to put RHD on the road in general.. We do get a fair amount European models of car you don't.. I hope our prime minister doesn't F up the entertainment I enjoy importing, ozzy lands gone crazy yo.
It makes sense the chargers and challengers were made it Canada. They could just push those boats into the water and get them into the US very effectively.
@@stephentyger3165any ad is not worth watching. I do not give a fuck who’s making it or how well it’s executed, they’re annoying and begging for you to buy their shitty ass product as if I’m going to make a financial decision based on my favorite celebrity saying they enjoy whatever product
Being from Ottawa, I don’t really know what cars are made here. Sigh. Oh well, at least we got to see the new Ford GT on display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum. Idk if it’s still there, but if it’s still there, that’ll be a surprise. Canada, eh.
@@ImHeyDEDE Fact check this but I'm fairly sure BRP is now entirely independent of Bombardier. Bombardier's done an amazing job at self imploding. Sold off motor toys. Sold off trains. Sold off a recent plane project. Ski-doo wouldn't be as great as they are if they were still tied to the ol' titanic
@@sumoneskid the Bombardiers sold Bombardier transport and rebranded their recreational line up under BRP. As much as I know it is still owned in majority by the descendants of Joseph-Armand Bombardier, the inventor of the Snowmobile (Wich is just called a Ski-Doo if you live up here).
"Canada forsake its own independent automotive industry for the ability to provide a more robust and fruitful workforce for the people that live and work in Canada, and in a way thats the most canadian thing I have heard" - donut media 12:20 - 12:34
Just like when the Canadian government caved in to pressure from the u.s. military complex, to stop making a better fighter interceptor than they were able to (the *Avro Arrow* ), so they could steal all of the Canucks in R&D, and use their brainpower to put Neil Armstrong on the moon. Plus take all the data from the jet for their own use, and have Canadas own gov't order everything here connected to it destroyed. (Like no one would consider that fishy at all). Effectively, and Officially ,killing Canadas major contributions to aerospace for decades.
I think our neighbors to the north have had to, under pressure from the US Government) make some serious calculations over the past 70 years that stifled the automotive and aviation industries. Your engineers are imaginative problem solvers that deliver seriously awesome equipment.
Canada still pulls shit like this that fucks Canada over, like selling raw crude oil to US and buying back the refined stuff for way more instead of refining it ourselves.
We don't like to brag so when someone else is offering to say good things about us, that's a little bit of 'right on' I'd like to sit and quietly watch in peace.
and they're insolvent. Get bailed out by tax payers every several years. The big wig board guys cut themselves huge bonuses on those years as well. Then we get sued by the US for market violations since our aero industry giant is artificially propped by tax serfs.
I learned today that one of my dream cars is actually Canadian. Well, I learned quite a lot about the automotive history here, but that is probably one of the facts that surprised me the most.

I live in Canada and just got schooled on a Gretzky Tim Hortons coffee and that we have some car makers. I thought the last Canadian car was the Bricklin.
It was only built in Canada because Malcom Bricklin got a screamin' backdoor deal to build in Newfoundland like what DeLorean got in Ireland. Malcom Bricklin was an American and Bricklin was an American company.
@@zachaustin2704 i know all about the Bricklin lol,fun fact: they actually didn't sell them in large enough quantities to justify shipping them so my dads uncle hand delivered them, he would drive all over the continent and deliver the bricklin's to their owners.
Hey donut, Why not a video about "why there are no french cars (or french car makers) in the US? (like Peugeot, Renault, Citroën...)" Because in the past there were many french cars in the US (Like Peugeot 504 taxis in NY), and french brands were very close to American brands (Henry Ford and André Citroën were good friends for example!) Merci ^^ A viewer from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean
Il existe un concessionnaire français sur Saint-Pierre-Et-Miquelon qui importe des voitures françaises sur l'île. Mais Saint-Pierre-Et-Miquelon est justement un territoire d'outre-mer de France. Au Canada et aux États-Unis en effet il n'y existe aucun concessionnaire français. Il y a un vieux camion Citroen qui sert de décoration devant le restaurant français Le Cochon Dingue près de mon lieu de travail, et c'est à-peu-près le seul véhicule français que j'ai vu (l'autre étant une 2CV dans une exposition de voitures anciennes). Raison principale, et ce sont des français eux-même qui m'ont dit ça, ce serait simplement parce que les voitures françaises ne sont pas du tout adaptés à nos conditions. L'hiver ici est extrêmement dur et les routes s'abîment rapidement. Avoir un gros pick-up fait pas mal plus de sens qu'une p'tite réguinne. Surtout que les routes sont très larges comparé aux vôtres. De mon bord je conduis un Ford Crown Victora Police Interceptor, et ayant par le passé possédé des petites voitures à traction avant pendant l'hiver... je ne suis pas prêt à y revenir. Ah oui et l'essence coûte genre 3 fois moins cher ici faque on s'en criss un ptit peu de conduire des gros véhicules lol. Voici un petit calcul rapide. Mon Crown Victoria 2011 consomme 12 lites aux 100 km, a un réservoir de 72 litres et l'essence coûte environ 0.68 Euros par litre (sauf qu'on utilise les dollars bien sûr). C'est déjà une voiture considérée comme étant très assoifée pour les standards américains alors imagine. En terme de prix, ça revient à la même chose qu'une Citroen C3 de la même année (6L au 100km, prix de l'essence en moyenne à 1.38 Euro par litre en France). Sauf que là on compare une grosse américaine au moteur V8 4.8L de 240 chevaux avec une voiture 4-cylindres 1.1L de 60 chevaux.
I remember in my parents wrecking yard Beaumonts and Chevelles, Acadians and Nova's side by side. The two defining differences I noticed as a kid were heavier and more deluxe chrome on the Canadian models, probably because of our winters.
Actually it was because the Beaumonts and Acadians were Pontiac vehicles. Pontiacs always had a bit more chrome, especially in the US versions. The Chev based Canadian Pontiacs always had to have twin grill treatments to show their family resemblance to Pontiac so a bit of extra chrome was needed to have a split grille.
@@JohnSmith-rw8uh No, Holden was Australian. And then GM bought it. And destroyed it. Just like Opel in Germany which GM bought, mismanaged it and later sold to French PSA Groupe.
Prevost make probably the top of the line bus/coaches in that market and with almost every manufacturer having a plant in Canada, I’d say they make a good amount of stuff. Like you said for the most part, the USA and Canada car markets all blended into 1
Yeah I never knew but I see them all the time, I’ve been I a couple and they are pretty comfy. I just wish there was a bit more legroom even with the foot holds folded up.
Real communism hasn't been tried yet. Bernie was going to take us to the promise land but ofcourse higher ups in the democratic party conspired against him, TWICE. Most u seen about communism is fake western propaganda. Sure people hopped the border into western Germany but those were far and few between and the CIA actually made thier own Berlin wall in the US so they could film propaganda of " brave anti communists escaping the hell of Soviet Russia". Yea most of those videos where BS and the only real ones where those that where sent there by the western imperial nations to cause trouble and disrupt daily life while also spying on Soviet activities, ofcourse these people where stopped, they're where spies. Tell me how Soviet russia had these so called famines when they produced more food than the USA! You're government has lied to you about communism to protect themselves and to halt the progress of human knowledge, science, art, etc for thier own selfish needs. Why do you think only about 200 people control the lives of billions of people, how is than any different than imperialism in old Europe?? We vote for people that could never imagine what life is like for the average American ( millionaires and billionaires) then expect them to stand up for our way of life?? Or the rare time when an average Joe IS sent to DC to represent his people he somehow returns a millionaire after his term. ( no doubt by getting paid off by lobbyists and getting cushy jobs at fortune 500 companies as quid pro qoue) We have a pandemic and literally hundreds of thousands on the streets and ms Pelosi is streaming from her 20 million dollar home surrounded by state of the art security and a giant home showing off her 400 dollars worth of ice cream sitting in her 10k dollar fridge in a home with 20 rooms for two people while not ever a few miles away people are starving on the cold streets. They dont see us as people , we are voting blocks to them. The blacks, the whites, the Hispanics,etc, always split into groups instead of one collective striving towards one goal So sure, be happy that your guy won, or sad that he lost but know that nothing will really change. We all thought Obama was the answer but he ended up being a slightly more liberal version of GWB. unfortunately he gave into the system and opted for a rich comfortable retirement over leading this country to true greatness by having the 8 year rule abolished and just ran it like a boss like Putin does.
@yagbos "Just the lazy and useless like it because they will get paid for doing nothing." -Basis of your argument, and yet lacks any and all research into it's accuracy. Just because it 'sounds like' how people operate does not mean it understands people. You are viewing communism as if the people in it are still reacting to the stress of life in a different political system than communism... Yes, people will be lazy and useless towards jobs they have no passion for but still must do to survive, but then that isn't even communism. You are actually projecting problems capitalism champions. However, communism won't work because there isn't a structure for it to come about safely and accurately, without ruining itself with political power problems. It wants to be bottom-heavy, but it needs to be top-heavy to ensure that. It will not work. This is where compromises of ideas can be very useful, and have been proven to be. Extremism, in either direction, is always a problem, and prevents progress.
@yagbos I agreed with the overall conclusion, if you read my post. What I criticized was how poorly you reached that conclusion, because no, people will not "sit on their ass and the system will fall apart", that has NEVER been the reason it hasn't worked. 'How you think people function' isn't the same as doing research to confirm it. Welfare and basic-income programs show statistical success on this front, the idea actually works - People are currently doing these things. Communism won't work because of political leadership problems, not because of the citizenry. If you're going to assume people will all be lazy, then you're wildly incorrect, and/or just projecting. You are probably the 'useless moocher' you're afraid of, because you are stating myths without research.

Just to say, Canada didn’t try very hard to protect his own car industry because first: it'll be better for economical growth on the long term and second: because we knew that Canadian car companies would have been swallowed up one day or another by big American manufacturers anyway. I mean, why lose time? It's a bit the same for Canadian shows: they get overshadowed by bigger more popular American ones. The top most viewed Canadian shows and films (after hockey leagues) are actually... in French. Why? Simply because they don't have to compete: it's not the same audience.
@@FredGlt Actually, as far as television goes, each Canadian channel needs a certain percent of it's content to be Canadian made. It's why so many Canadian made shows are not as good (with several notable exceptions that meet or exceed American productions despite the lack of an American sized budget), because Canadian production companies don't have as much money to throw on producing both quality appearances *and* good writing, since they need x amount of shows made, which stretches the budget. That said, most American sci-fi is now written and often produced in Canada (Black Mirror, for one example).
@@aaronbalchand5475 I’d like it too. And it's not like if we didn't have the potential nor the elements required to do so, especially in some places like in Ontario where you have the knowledge and the technology or even Quebec where EVs are getting cheaper and Hydro-Quebec is helping in battery technology development.

@@loganlaviolette993 nickelback isn't even as bad as a lot of these newer acts these days, they make radio rock for the average person and I dont think theres anything inherently wrong w that. not my cup of tea but they're definitely capable of writing a catchy song.
There was also the Bricklin SV1. There is also MCI which is a Canadian bus company which is popular in Canada and the USA. The Ford Crown Victoria was also built in Canada.
French canadian here, the names "Acadian" and "Frontenac" that were used to rebrand american cars mean something to us haha, acadians are the people from "Acadie" and "Frontenac" is the last name of a past governer of "nouvelle France" wich is now Canada
Grew up in Ontario and had many friends working on assembly lines through college. It was interesting to learn how, when and why all the American and Asian manufacturers ended up here.
You make fun of our accents because of ONE area, the east coast. Those are the only people that talk like that. Look at all of your fucked up accents, what’s up with Wisconsin?? They sound more Canadian than us, and what about the Deep South, they sound like they have marbles in their mouths, and New York? Come on.
@@jamest2544 I've lived in Canada my entire life and I can assure you that almost every province has a slightly different accent. Get outta here with your negative comments. People like you make us Canadians look bad, go down to the states where you belong, we don't want you here lmao
@Mobile Terminaluser It my relative from Canada come to viait us. They bought some maple syrup as souvenirs, so I pour in my pancakes and it delicious.
Did the RCMP drive Crown Vics? Crown Vic were a main American cop car. Now days the cops are getting big Explorer SUVs I see, not so many Crown Vic cop cars these days.
@@dave8599 They used them heavily up until id say 2015 ever since they have started to phase out. now I just see a lot of Chargers and Explorers with some Touris’s spread throughout, those are the main ones i see but ik of many others like for example i also see a fair amount of Tahoes, and f150’s.
You forgot to mention the Bricklin SV-1. And there's also the little known, Canada only Asuna Sunrunner. Made back in the 90's, it's basically a Geo Tracker
I once spotted a Bricklin SV-1 in the wild - the owner even let me sit in it and offered to let me drive it! Unfortunately, I was crunched for time and had to decline. Still took a few pictures just to prove I saw the thing.
Fun fact: the ford gt40 was produced in secret at Calabogie motorsports over a period of a few years. Being there all the time, I got to see it way before it was revealed to anyone but they asked folks to keep it secret. There was also a teaser where "a car" set a record lap time at the track. Containing my excitement and not telling anyone during that time was one of the most excruciating things I've gone through.
So you’re telling me that they tested THE GT40 in Ontario.... This is one of the coolest news I’ve ever read! I can’t even imagine how hard it was for you to contain your excitement!
Canadian people are super cool and kind. Half of my family migrated to Canada from Europe and half to Seattle, I’m in Seattle but Canadian people are some of the finest you can meet.
I am so glad Canadians are still in this world and thank you for all of the hard work and the cars hey guys make and now I'm starting to get one of those or I'm going to get one of those when I get enough money
Actually Keanu is NOT Canadian. He was born in Isreal if I remember right. He did live and attend school in Canada but is in fact not Canadian by birth.
@NAKIB SAYYED Poor flex. Justin Beiber and Celine Dion are though. Do you really want to go down the road of our celebrities? They are not our identity.
Fun fact, Canada has a large role to play in the ambulance manufacturing market. Demers-Braun-Crestline is a Canadian conglomerate of three major ambulance manufacturers. Their head office is in Beloeil, Quebec (just outside of Montreal). They are one of the most trusted businesses in the ambulance manufacturing industry. Their sales are very concentrated in the US, Canada and Mexico but they provide EMS vehicles to countries around the globe. I think the lack of Canadian auto makers has turned Canada into a specialty market (ex: buses, performance cars, emergency vehicles, all terrain vehicles, planes)
Honda has had an advertising campaign in Canada all about how they're built in Canada. Its a whole "built here by folks who know what it's like to drive here" or "who knows what it's like to drive here better than people who actually live here" "Canadian built Canadian driven" and it's starting to drive me insane
@Onion Head you do realize that even if the vehicle was assembled in your country of residence, it is assembled with the majority of parts not made in your country of residence. So you not buying a "foriegn " made vehicle is something of a conundrum.
Hey Donut, Canadian here. Do a video on why car ownership in Canada is absolutely horrible. Canadians have no say in what cars they can buy, we have even a smaller variety of vehicles than America does, prices are higher and the average insurance/running costs of cars in Canada is about $550 a month. If u find a maple leaf, use it to wipe your butts.
I ordered a gretzky before. It's not that bad honestly, at least not taste wise. And your crazy wired on sugar for about an hour. Then you crash pretty heavily lol Also you know....definately diabetes if you have more than one.
I am Canadian and have never heard of a 99 coffee. Double double is 2 cream, 2 sugar. They do come in very large cups as it is colder here than most countries. A medium coffee is a normal cup (no small offered) up to an extra-large which is appriximately 2-3 mediums and more popular. The 18% cream makes the coffee very rich. Tim Horton's is now owned by Wendy's; therefore not technically Canadian anymore.
Omfg I was like oh sick Cody Ko reference with the "frictionless" comment and then you actually used that clip 😂 that had to be a shout out since he's Canadian and you guys just talked about working with Noel Miller

Canada has the most fearsome spiller in WWII. Leo Major. He was such a badass Hitler himself created a program to create a time machine so that the Germans could go back in time and kill Leo as a child because they thought that was the only way to kill Leo.
Living in Michigan i jumped at the first opportunity to bag an Acura EL The funny story about this car is it was designed in canada and sold in the Canadian market, Honda of japan liked the car so much they actually made a Honda EL in japan and other models across the world like Isuzu Somehow it got imported with a 5 speed and little rust for a canadian car lol, drove it for 4 years it was the best 3k i spent
I love that you mentioned the Felino cB7 but you're forgetting another legendary Canadian supercar: the HTT Plethore! The Pontiac Beaumont was also made specifically for the Canadian market if I remember right
I actually found one at the local pick n pull wrecker about 20 years ago, a white Bricklin. I got a hold of the Bricklin owners club to let them know. They were glad to get parts from it. Never had seen one prior to that. oh the good old days.
@@sergeantnerfsalot2784 well a lot of people be saying Rothesay when they are in Quispam bruh, was just curious. See you at the McEsso or Vito's sometimes when this red phase ends.
Right around the time the Auto Pact came in, the famous old American marque Studebaker became, sort of, a Canada only carmaker, when Stude's main plant complex in Indiana shut down. From January 1964 through March 1966, the Hamilton, Ontario, plant was the main source for Studebaker cars. (Smaller assembly operations also continued in several other countries concurrently.) The Hamilton plant stood until autumn 2012 when it was demolished. Right to the end it still bore huge STUDEBAKER lettering on its north wall...
One thing I would've loved to've seen covered was the ventures in the Maritimes between the 70s/80s to the 2000s. Bricklyn in New Brunswick, and Volvo, Saab-Scania and Lada in Nova Scotia. I don't think much has been written about them. Halifax had Scania buses in the early-90s.
I'm glad you guys actually showed a proper Canadian map with the provinces shown on it. So many Americans are completely clueless to what's birth of the boarder, and often forget the most populated part on Ontario is actually more south than 1/3 of the continental United States. Props all around!!! CANADA ♥️s DONUT!!
I went to the Montréal auto show twice in 2014 to be able to see the felino again. I even met Antoine Bessette and he let me (10 y/o) go inside it. Best day ever.
