The two at the end apologizing for their mistakes is the most Candaidian thing they could do.
From a Canadian
You should apologize for misspelling the word *Canadian and I’m also sorry for calling you out 🙏
@@Saber23 sorry
@@DamianLirettePiano I’m sorry too
I'm sorry I had to read through all of these Sorries.
I'm, sorry you had to just read that.
...Sorry...
@@DamianLirettePiano LOL!!!! True Canuck there!
From a Canadian, these people did much better than 9/10 that people do from what I heard
I misread that 10 as an 11 for a hot second and almost had a fit...
Commenting as a Canadian, I'm actually surprised they knew as much as they did.
Right?🇨🇦👍
Eh
To be fair they were pretty easy questions
I'm surprised that they didn't say Vancouver or Toronto as capital of Canada , most of the people said these two
Nah everybody knows it's not those two
@@ParadiseDB7 a lot of people think that Toronto is the capital of Canada , like many think that Los Angeles or New York is the capital of US
@@louis0805 I've never heard a single person say they think LA is the capital of America 🤔
As French. I know these two
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 tu veux dire tu know it’s not these two plutôt Nn ?
1:12 The first one was actually a rejected design for the Canadian flag.
Thank goodness!
Hey, you guys did really well! You pleasantly surprised me by knowing more than I expected 😊
Come up and visit some time!
🇨🇦
summer
They did better than other American videos I've seen.
These are some of the most informed Americans re Canada that I’ve seen so far…
Ya, they did ok.
The Rock question is a bit of a trick question too. He was born in California, but has dual US/Canada citizenship because his dad was born in Canada.
Dwayne Johnson is American/Canadian
He's a dual Citizen 🇺🇸🇨🇦
America’s the melting pot, the land of immigrants. Lots of Americans these days have parents born in other countries hence just having his father born in Canada doesn’t make him a Canadian!… His mother was born in the USA and more importantly, The Rock himself was born and raised in the USA which makes him am American.
@@aheat3036 it does, actually. Unlike most of those other countries you mentioned Canada allows dual citizenship. Rock is just as much Canadian as he is American. He's both, that's it.
@@ParadiseDB7 😂 Nonsense!… The Canadians always like to steal another country’s glory, especially America’s, because Canada can’t innovate anything or produce any talent on its own!… You guys will pick up any leftover scraps or breadcrumbs and claim them as your own with bizarre and ridiculous extrapolations which shows your the depth of desperation!… Just hilarious. 🤣
Actually, Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling are both Canadians. Reynolds was born in Vancouver and Gosling in London ( I know, there’s a city called London even in Canada 🇨🇦). Justin Bieber is also from there.
That was actually pretty good. Especially since some of the questions were tryin to be tricky.
The Rock is American! His Dad is Canadian. He played in the CFL, signed by the Calgary Stampeders but was cut after one year.
He’s a dual citizen
@@joelembitch1274 yes he has dual citizenship but he is American.
@@bexanne99 Holy fuck he’s both American and Canadian goofy how do u not get that lmao
@@bexanne99 he has family that still lives in Canada. Plus his dad is Canadian
@@bexanne99 When you have dual citizenship, you can legally say your either.
Funny thing about the flags the 3 leafs and blue sides was actually a contender for the official flag
Cristina is awesome!!!
WELCOME BACK, CHRISTINA 🇺🇸!! My favourite American and my favourite girl of World Friends ❤️
❤❤❤
@@ChristinaDonnelly U R MINE TOO
Pleasantly surprised. I remember older generations of Americans striking out all over the place
5:16 "What is population? People just come and go" GENIUS
The best quote in the whole video for sure 🤣🤣
Honestly, most Canadians wouldn't do as well as they did. Bravo!
I will admit, as a Canadian, I did not know that Dwayne Johnson had dual citizenship. Everyone always says he's American, so I was surprised.
That was better than I thought it would be.
Good job Americans! We’ll send you some maple syrup!
WE have pure Maple syrup in the US
WHOOT, I'll take it!
Yummmy 😂
@@marydavis5234 haha! “No way!, there’s no such thing as American maple syrup!”.
Don’t know what yer talking aboot……
@@WLNS75 IT is called Vermont Maple syrup not American Maple syrup.
Welcome
I like that this seemed like a more realistic sampling of "What do Americans know" instead of just cherry picking the dumb answers from random people. If I (a Canadian) had to answer similar questions about the states, I would sound very much like these people.
You mean like when the woman said... "Oh, population, I didn't look that up". As if they weren't prepped for Canada. *le sigh*
Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds are Canadian born. Reynolds grew up in Vancouver.
these guys are smart
Good job guys!🇨🇦
We have this perception of Americans as being clueless about Canada, and some people down there are absolutely ignorant of anything up here to a surprising degree, but I think Rick Mercer and others have given a false impression of how many people are clueless. Watching “talking to Americans” makes it seem like they’re all out of the loop. Especially when he goes to college campuses and asks professors and they have no idea.
Anyways, this was refreshing. Some of the questions I wouldn’t have blamed them for getting wrong… the capital is usually thought to be Toronto, and who, other than Canadians, knows we like beavers so much 🦫? Even that one was guessed correctly by one or two here.
You think? It's all about cherry-picking the dumbest answers you get and cutting the rest. Btw, the beaver is one of Canada's emblems because that (for the fur trade) and the maple leaf (maple products) were both emblems of Canada within New France. These emblems are way older than the conquest. The English merely took them. It has nothing to do with Canadians liking beavers.
@@gustru2078 Of course it has to do with Canadians liking beavers! We like them because of, yes, the history of the fur trade. If we didn’t like them we could ditch them as our animal at any time. My saying we “like” them is sort of tongue in cheek anyways.
The cherry picking of answers is precisely what I was referring to though, yes.
I knew all the answers! I am Iraqi American btw
A Canadian bear, such an American answer lol
I’m not surprised they did well. I’m American who got them all right except the population. I couldn’t tell you the population of any country. 😂 I know the Rock’s dad is Canadian. Specifically his ancestors were Black Loyalists wholived in the American colonies. They were people of African descent who supported the British in the American Revolution then because of that were forced to move to Nova Scotia after the war.
I hope this will stop this ridiculous idea that most Americans don’t know which countries border us. Comedians make these videos for laughs and edit out people who give the correct answers to make it seem like the people who don’t know represent the majority and then naive people buy into it.
The Americans on here even realized when they were asked trick questions. I’m sure there will be those haters who come and here and insult us as usual.
Same i knew the answer to all of them except for the population which I guessed was around 30 something million, a bit less than California
You're America though...statistically, you're big enough to take a little friendly ribbing on the chin.
...You invented the McRib sandwich after all...which may have also contributed to your population being statistically larger on average...
...sorry. Couldn't resist. The jokes write themselves sometimes.
I like the trick questions
Well done! I know a huge % wouldn’t even get one right!
canada america mein hi hai America is not a country, but it is a continent, it is a country of that American continent, that means it is 50 states which are in America continent.
Coming from a Canadian it’s okay!
i am Canadian, and The Rock one surprised me
I'm impressed by the girl who knew the US has more actual land than Canada because of the volume of fresh water lakes we have up here.
Bring Flex bacc
I love this !! how do you confuse a yank ???? Put him in a room full of shovels and tell him to take his pick !! Put him in a round room and tell him to go stand in the corner !!!
Ryan Reynolds is Canadian.
Nice try. Good luck US, including Christina, you did well.
We love flex!!! She brings energy and life to the videos! 😭🤣
Aww thank you. That’s me naturally always high energy. 😂
Yet she's the dumbest one. How did she not know the uk doesn't have a president?
Honestly, I thought all of you did a great job, and I'm Canadian. I too had no idea the Rock was Canadian
well done!
I want to visit Canada. Not the big urban centers like Toronto and Vancouver. I want to visit lesser known cities, where there are more typical Canadians than foreigners, like Charlottetown.
I want to do this in the summer because I don't like the cold.
And exactly what is a typical Canadian? Being Canadian, I’m interested to know if I’m typical or not. If you do visit Canada, do us a favour and lose the attitude about “ foreigners “. That type of attitude isn’t needed or wanted in Canada. Keep it in US🇨🇦
The Atlantic side of Canada is really beautiful and seriously underrated, you should totally visit!
as an Edmontonian Edmonton is the best Alberta is also the best
Alberta number one!
Montreal is the candian capital of culture of 400 years and the oldest city in North america... a mix between Paris, London and New York ...The most beautiful , best food, best fashion, arts and most beautiful people in Canada in both official languages .. we speak english and french ... EUrope in North america
@@dave230k33k Alberta is destroying the planet with fossil fuels , oil and coal and the most dangerous cities in Canada
Pretty smart Americans really.
Our neighbor in the South is Australia 🇦🇺 and Timor Leste 🇹🇱
Our neighbor in the North is Malaysia 🇲🇾
Our neighbor in the West is India, andaman and nicobar islands 🇮🇳
Our neighbor in the East is Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
Which Country where I from 😊
Indonesia
I'm on a boat! JK. Indonesia
Indonesia🇮🇩
Singapore? Indonesia?
...New Zealand?
They did alright.
Ryan Gosling is Canadian.
if you take all the lakes out of canada then we'd be smaller than what? who thinks about taking all the water out of a country before measuring
Why don’t we learn anything about Canada here in American schools?
Because it's not your history
@@Engisneed Yeah, but we learn quite a bit of American history up here...
Ottawa represent ❤
The beaver is the national animal of Canada, the Moose is the natural predator of Canada
4:09 when she said “siri” my siri listened and responded 😭🙏
The guy who said 45mil was so close!
Actually not bad although the questions were pretty basic ❤
The Rock is American. His dad was originally from Canada.
As an Australian, I learnt about the beaver 🦫 being Canadas national animal from used to watching How I met Your Mother! I watch a lot of country comparison videos so I knew it’s population and one of the largest countries in landmass. Just like Canada, Australia is also a large country sparsely populated at 26M. These participants there was no reason to be embarrassed, they were mostly in the ballpark with their answers. They did well! I feel I would be similar to my knowledge of our neighbours New Zealand.
What I know about Canada and America is that the prime minister of Canada now has Indonesian blood and who knows the American president Barack Obama when he was a child in Indonesia.But still the prime minister of Canada is Canadian and President Barack Obama is American
"Trudeau's maternal great-grandfather Thomas Bernard was born in Makassar, Indonesia and immigrated to Penticton, British Columbia, in 1906 at age 15 with his family." - Justin Trudeau's wiki-bio.
Huh...didn't know that. Neat!
The term "blood" tends to reference ethnic ancestry though, pretty sure Thomas wasn't of a descendant of the Indonesian people groups himself...Colonialism!
...otherwise, I'd be Mexican as my Scottish great-granny was born in Cancun whilst her parents were on extended vacation.
...and if I was, I'd be an utter disgrace to my ancestors. Virtually no spice tolerance and non hablo Espanol. :S
Where is Shannon?
I’m surprised they got the capital! Most people say Toronto. But most people would also say São Paulo for Brazil.
I would say most people (including me sometimes) would say Rio de Janeiro. Sorry but Brazil having the capital called Brasília is just weird 😆
@@janslavik5284 oh true true Rio #1 and maybe others would guess São Paulo second
No: This is Sparta!!!
Nice!
Had no idea The Rock was Canadian
Me neither
In 2009 he got citizenship
I knew his dad was from Canada. His ancestors left the US after the American Revolution because they had supported the Brits.
Dwayne Johnson was born in California, he has dual citizenship as his dad was born in Canada
He is American/ Canadian
@@marydavis5234 i thought it was his dad
The Rock is definitely American. Born there, citizen of there, lives and works (for the most part) there.
Yes, but he has citizenship via his Canadian father. You can be a dual citizen.
@@ArmouredPhalanx No idea why, but I thought his dad was born in American Samoa.
@@chrismyers99 His mother was Samoan. His father was Rocky Johnson, born in Nova Scotia, Canada.
May you guys make a video with the difference between : 🇸🇮🇸🇰🇨🇿🇷🇴🇵🇱 please
they're all whole a lot different
The rock is not Canadian he was born in Hayward, California as per wiki.
Why are Canadians always left out of the English accent videos
Right?
Is The Rock really Canadian tho? His father is African-Canadian, but he was born and raised in the U.S. and he's holding the ID of the States. That doesn't count.
You are wrong. Because of said (just Canadian no need to mention his race) father he has dual Canadian/American citizenship.
It never said he wasn't American, it said he was Canadian.
@@ParadiseDB7 Hmm… But in the other hand… Tho he’s Canadian inherited from his father by blood and he got both citizenships, he still was born and raised in the States. Seems got not much of relations to Canada except for blood. It’s just like a huge amount of people whose ancestors are from different countries in Europe but not many of them would say they’re German/Italian/French etc. They just say they’re American. So he is considered American in my opinion. 😂
@@ParadiseDB7 Definitely a trick question. He's the son of an immigrant, born in California and raised all over the US. His only tie to Canada is is father's citizenship. He wasn't born there, he never lived there.
@@jeffmorse645 it's definitely a trick question, however slight correction he lived in Canada for a few years in college and while playing in the CFL.
@@nathanwongggg just an FYI him being American isn't proof of him not being Canadian. He's allowed to be both lol.
I appreciate the apologies, but all of you did great!
Apologizing is a very Canadian thing to do!
ryan reynolds’s is too
I think I just saw Von in the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2023 :D he's using a Galaxy Book 3 Ultra
4:03 - Subtitle: "I should of studied" 🤦♂
I should have studied.
Justin Trudeau is the current prime minister of Canada, and his father Pierre was a past prime minister.
"The Rock" is from here where I live in Nova Scotia.....born and bred.....
No, his father was. He was born in the US, but has dual citizenship because of his father.
@@ArmouredPhalanx He still denies where he comes from however....thanks for the update
lol! What's the official language of Canada? Punjabi!
The Christine girl literally did this almost a year ago...
Haha this was so fun! How many did you guys get correct? 😄 -Christina 🇺🇸
Good video , Christina , loved the questions , get all correct 'cause i love Canada 😁
@@henri191 no, you just love 51Mp1n9 on these actresses ffs
@Christina Donnelly DWAYNE THE ROCK JOHNSON IS THE ONLY ONE I GOT RIGHT
@@henri191 same
As French I got the Celebrity question and Canada population wrong.
The Rest was super easy
We have multiple animals
Beaver
Goose
Moose
And polar bears
So, officially, the national animal is the Beaver...but Bears (Grizzly, Brown, Black, and Polar), Timberwolves, Corvids (Crows and Ravens), Dogs (Labrador Retrievers and Huskies mostly), Moose, Canada Geese, Loones, Caribou, Trumpeter Swans, Chickadees, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Racoons, Bobcats/Lynxes, Orca, Whales, Cod, and Salmon do feature heavily in national and provincial associated imagery.
Just happens that Beavers, Loones, and Polar Bears get the most recognition as they feature on coinage.
Oh, and the ever present House Hippo. Our TRUE national animal.
Vancouver is like Hong Kong ( 50 % from China )with a lot of homeless, drugs and crimes and Toronto is like India with a lot of homeless, drug crisis ,, crimes and poor quality of life.
The capital of Canada is C.
Im glad this video wasn’t made to falsely picture Americans as idiots. All of the other videos do.
Between 37 and 40 millions in 2024 to be exact
Did not get The Rock, and I guessed 40mil. Other than that, I was good.
I have to say after seeing some videos of some unfortunate Americans who knew next to nothing of my country of Canada. You all have redeemed the United States in my eyes. lol
they actually did better than I thought they would!!!
😂😂😂 thank you. I tried my best
Ryan Seacrest is American.
well, then anybody can be president of canada. are they saying NOBODY claims to be president of canada?
WE ARE NOT THE USA. WE HAVE OUR OWN IDENTITY YOU KNOW… 1:14
I knew the rock's father was Canadian and that he was briefly signed to a CFL team, but I did not realize that he had gained dual citizenship. So I guess "technically" he is Canadian, did not know that. Still a bit of a cheap one there though.
a weird kind of bear? lol
omg
Is there going to be a version of this for Mexico? those answers would probably be way off
Next Time European questions
🇪🇺🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇱🇺🇧🇪🇳🇱
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 The europeans desesperated by recognition of americans 🙄
No one cares
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 this Is about North America
Omgawd flex is so funny. She brought so much character to this show❤
Yessss
Haha thank you 😂 it’s was so much fun
Canada has 40 million people as of 2024.
So the Rock is Canadian? 😅 Samoan-Canadian? Lmao
Doesn't Canada have the president??? Interesting
Canada has Prime Minister instead which is Justin Trudeau. 🇨🇦
Cuz let's just say that country is part of the Commonwealth. Same with Australia Some sort of Huge Anglo Saxon Community. (Part of the British Empire
Their head of state is the one and only King Charles 🇬🇧
Why is that interesting? Many countries have prime ministers instead of presidents.
We have a king...
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 ..."the one and only King Charles"...I'll think you find he's actually one of a set of three King Charlies. XD
@@Lauriej117 It has to do with types and levels of national Government.
Comparative Example:
USA is a constitutional republic with a representative democracy in a bicameral congress.
Executive Branch is where your President is.
Judicial is the Supreme Court of the United States
Federal is Congress, split between a House of Representatives and a Senate.
Canada is a constitutional monarchy with a representative democracy in a Westminister-style legislature.
Executive Branch is King Charles III, or rather his representative, the Governor General of Canada, and a Senate.
Judicial is the Supreme Court of Canada
Federal is the House of Commons, led by the leader of the ruling Party, the Prime Minister, who also appoints new senators.
In practice, Canada's Executive Branch is basically a just a rubber stamp for whatever the Federal branch decides, with the rare occasional upset that tends to make national news. Our monarch wields almost no actual tangible power and is mostly ceremonial these days, so the actual decisions are done at the Federal level.
Meanwhile, the US is supposed to have all 4 branches of government (Judicial, Executive, and the two Federals) in equal footing with one another via checks and balances, but in practice, especially since the Bush Jr. Administration, has been concentrating more and more power into the smaller Executive and Judicial branches.
The rock is not canadian, he was born in california
Look up in the internet. He has a Double Nationalty. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Through his father.
Due to a law in 2009, anyone that has a parent born in Canada, you get automatic dual citizenship, His father was born in Canada
I'm Canadian and half of you Americans don't know the first state is Delaware
Next time France questions or europeans 🇪🇺🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇱🇺🇧🇪🇳🇱
You should have chosen one person who lives near the border.
I love flex😍😍😍she’s super funny.
Love you right back!!!❤❤❤
Its hilarious how Americans try to answer Canadian questions
That's literally the point of the video, what were they supposed to do??????
😂 I tried my best. Ok 😂
You are from the United States
