Canada and The United States of America
The two biggest countries in North America
Both have a lot in common...
Woah, are we really gonna do this? Ok, let’s do this…
Both have very close cultural and economic ties.
So actually, both are two of the biggest countries in the world. Canada is slightly bigger than the United States.
Both share the world’s longest border between two countries. The border stretches 5,525 miles….or...I mean, 8,891 kilometers. Yeah while Canada has officially adopted the metric system as a whole, the United States is only one of three countries in the entire world that hasn’t. That said, plenty of Canadians don’t always use the metric system to measure stuff, and plenty of Americans do often use the metric system.
Anyway, let’s stick with more similarities first, ok?
Both are two of the wealthiest, most developed countries in the world. Immigrants have flocked to both countries for economic opportunity for centuries, which is why major cities in both are some of the mostly ethnically diverse in the world.
Both have mixed economies and have a progressive tax system on income. However, Canadians definitely pay higher taxes overall.
Oh lots of trading be going on between the two. The United States is Canada’s largest trading partner, and Canada is consistently a top three trading partner for the United States. Both are in NATO and have historically fought as allies in wars.
Both have lots of natural resources. Both have a wide variety of climates and rainfall patterns.
Both are democratic. Specifically, the United States is a democratic republic, and Canada is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy.
Both are growing at about the same rate. (C- .7%, US- .8%)
Residents of both generally like their space. Indeed, everything is more spread out in both countries.

Which is better? Canada or The United States?
Which two countries should I compare next?

@@joeypatapas2676 Las Vegas is very great in that department.
@@devinhigoy221 Do the people who live in LV actually party, or is it people on vacation? A true test as to whether or not a city parties hard is what the locals do when they are not on vacation. In which case NOLA is a better example of an American party city.
The US and Canada are like the two guys who became friends in class because they’ve been sitting beside each other for along time
I laughed so hard at this
It’s so true
That’s so true ehh
I mean it's true 😂
except one burned down their prized structure and blamed it on the kid with the accent.
Living on the border all my life I’ve gained a huge love and respect for my Canadian brothers and sisters 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Omw
Same 😃

I've also gained love and respect for my AMERICAN brothers and sisters.🇨🇦🇺🇸
i live in winnipeg which is pretty much on the border and ive always been happy to go to the states
English Canadians and Americans might be similar, but if you visit Québec and really take the time to talk to the francophones, you'll probably notice many cultural differences. According to anthropologists, Quebecers are in between English Canadians and French from France.
Effectivement
Quebec libre!
They are the descendents of those rejected from Paris.
@@wendigo53 It's not exactly it, but I get your point. For instance, the Filles du Roy were sent in Nouvelle France to get married and make babies, as there were mostly men at that time there and not enough women. Those women were poor and vulnerable, that's why they accepted to leave their country, hoping for a better life.
@@anaisgeoffrion2819Actually, all the colonists of Quebec were rejected by France when, in the negotiations at the end of the 7 year's war, Paris discarded Quebec, in favour of Guadeloupe and Martinique.
I remember being in a hotel in America and asked a worker for the washroom. She sent me to the laundry room.
OMG xD that's funny
You mean bathroom 😅😅
My parents made the same mistake for the first time
I am Canadian, but tend to say bathroom more often than washroom. I also say loo sometimes (married a brit)🤷♀️🤣
I'm laughing out loud right now!!!
@@fredericmbaango9990 no washroom lol
Bald eagles almost went extinct due to hunting and deforestation in the US so Canada sent them a ridiculous amount. Most eagles in the US are actually Canadian.
thanks canada
Yer welcome
The stereotypes are true. Canadians are confirmed the nicest people in this world
Ok where did you get this information bruh
@@snowleopard9463 *Laughs in Canadian* ha...yea no.
Me and my husband recently came back from a trip to Canada. It was our first time up there. We really enjoyed it, sans a scary experience our first night lol But coming from Minnesota, to Manitoba, here are the main differences we saw...
🍁 Much of the highway shoulders are gravel.
🍁 Most signs are bilingual, English and French
🍁 There was a stronger Native population. Minneapolis has a considerable Native population as well but it seemed more prevalent in Winnipeg
🍁 Winnipeg felt like a mix of Minneapolis, Omaha and Oklahoma City. The residential areas looked like Minneapolis but less lush. The same type of housing stock typical in northern US. But it had a stronger prairie vibe like Omaha. And the Native influence made it seem like Oklahoma City. It was still very Canadian though.
🍁 A lot more local businesses and less chains.
🍁 Canadians seemed to love their flag even more or as much as Americans.
🍁 Even though we were relatively south for Canada, there was a lot of references to the Arctic which I thought was really cool.
🍁 Geographically, it resembled North Dakota a lot. Lots of flat fields. I know Manitoba is known for its lakes but they are further north. I did see Lake Winnipeg which is pretty cool.
🍁 McDonald's is more expensive but looks cleaner and nicer
🍁 A lot of attractions were very affordable
🍁 Canadian parents seem to treat their kids less like babies. Canadian kids seemed less bratty, more well behaved
🍁 The accent is definitely there lol. It sounds similar to Minnesota but it stands out in words like "soorry" and "aboot."
🍁 Few black and Hispanic people but lots of Asians, especially Chinese and Indian. A lot of benches and signs were in Chinese.
🍁 Lotta Ukrainian diasporans
🍁 One way signs were just blank arrows
Overall it was a fun place to visit. Def wanna see the other provinces.
Lots of Canadian kids are bratty
Great observations!
I've been to Toronto and Montréal.
Indeed, they have bi-lingual road signs! (FRE/ENG).
In Montréal, they greet you in Fre., if they sense that you don't speak Fre., they switch to Eng.
Come to my province of Nova Scotia, and drive the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton.
@@bernarddowd6446 I would love to. Nautical maritime environments are my fav
As a person from Toronto suburbs, I can say that most is true except the accent just doesn't seem there, I can't say for sure for I've never noticed a difference but overall, I'd say the ones about the flag and children are true however I think Quebec and Ontario give different vibes.
A lot of the millionaires are heirs. Real selfmade millionaires are investors . And there is nothing like luck but taking risk and timing included. And you need a some education. To become a millionaire by yourself should not be a goal (depends on country) because its just out of reach.
I urge everyone to start somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things, don't get tempted,i became more better the moment i realized this.
@James Boden you're right Forex trading is surely a lucrative way to invest whether you want growth, leverage, stable income or something in between.

@@newmanchester8504 west. Military spending is through the roof and there is more poverty and homelessness than during the great depression. Bernie Saunders may be a hope for the USA. Stay safe.
@@largebiff1743 , the USA is behind on some many things. no universal healthcare plan, no UBI, no gun control, education, a low life expectancy, putting way too much money on the military-industrial complex, a prison industrial complex where you have more people in jails and prisons than any other country, people work way too much on their jobs/make less, no paid vacation time by law, no sick pay leave, pouring more money into the police and not doing anything for the crumbling infrastructure. Plus, people in Flint, Michigan have lead in their water. The USA is backwards and some of the people don't care. Bernie failed two times running for president and he isn't the hope anymore. There are people who think like him, will rise up to take his place. One of them will be the hope for America, I hope. Thank you for your reply.

@@largebiff1743 yeah I wish the US would just pull out of nato and lower military spending. But I do feel the need to point out that if healthcare was to be tax payed in the US, it would have to be run state by state as the constitution doesn’t give the federal government the power to do so
“Geography has made us neighbours. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder. What unites us is far greater than what divides us.” JFK to Canadian parliament 05/17/1961
We should have an American-Canadian union, amirite?
@@eitantour8059 No. Soviet Canuckistan is a socialist hell.

@@johnholder3273 Although how would Quebec feel about that?
@@treystewart731 Quebec doesn’t even like Canada itself. I think they probably wouldn’t be to faund of it. But it would probably bring a crap ton of tourist money into there economy
As an American living in my beautiful state of Alaska, we love our neighbors the Canadians. We here in Alaska pride ourselves as being great friends with Canadians in fact we have a lot more in common than the rest of the ‘lower 48’ as we refer to the continental US. We know what beaver tails are and have even adopted that as ours in some of our state fairs/bazaars but they got renamed elephant ears lol. We just love Canada!
Most states that border Canada (or at least most of the cities near the actual border with Canada in those states) have this kind of relationship with Canada
Wtf Alaskans exist?
As a Canadian I can say most Canadians see people from Alaska more so as Canadians than they do Americans as well. Alaska is so similar to Canada especially if put in contrast with the rest of the US.
@@evanphilbrick1521 I mean that's true. If you're isolated from the rest of the states you are bound to start being different
@@STONKS_MemeMan yeah
One thing I’ve always found interesting about Canada is that most of us use a Mix of the metric and imperial system depending which system makes a specific measurement easier.
For example most people, if not all, (where I’m from in Ontario) use them like this:
Height of a person: imperial
Measurement over a long distance: Metric
Measuring small amounts of food or ingredients: Grams
Drinks: metric
Weight of a person: imperial
And so on
Officially we strictly use the metric system, but ask most Canadians what they weigh in Kg’s or how tall they are in Cm’s and they will give you this look
👁💋👁
Dude sometimes we'll use both in the same sentence. I just drove 50 kilometers in a foot and a half of snow for 3 pints of beer, a pound of chicken wings, and a 1.75L bottle of whiskey, but I only drink the whiskey an ounce at a time.
It’s mainly because the metric system is a horrible scale for the size of people. For example for height someone who is 6ft or so could be 180 cm or 1.8 meters, while feet stay at a happier medium. Not sure why we use pounds, but they are fine as well. On the other hand for small things and in science, metric is used because it’s way easier to convert between mm, cm, m, and km

Both are more or less right is different situations.

My girlfriend is Canadian and I love visiting her and plan to eventually move over there. I have noticed that the smaller population does affect how many people you can find in the country you can relate to in terms of hobbies, interests, or other groups. Otherwise, Canada is just as great as the USA!
Make sure you bring plenty of thick clothing. Even the nicest Canadian girl ain't gonna keep you warm enough up here eh!
We generally welcome Americans of all varieties up here, but if you happen to be one of the really rich ones, welcome home! :) hehehehe
Welcome to Canada. I am proud to call Alberta home. But my god I sure love Las Vegas and the state of Nevada!
I'm Canadian (full disclosure), but your video is amazingly well researched and I would say generally bang on. In my experience, having travelled both countries extensively, would be that in Canada we're a bit more welcoming of newcomerers from other countries.

I need Canadian friends!! That sounds awesome. I wasn't aware how similiar we are. Awesome video, it was completely entertaining and informative. Like watching a good movie, you're so entangled in the story and the rollout you lose track of time and all of the sudden you're saying goodbye. Keep it up! I'm off to the 1812 video. (since you reminded me at the end =) )
I will be your friend
I enjoyed this segment a ton, thanks Mr. Beat.
As a Canadian who also went to college in the United States most of this is true. Except I dont think Canadians hate Americans they hate American corporate bought politician's, American military industrial complex and to a lesser to degree American News media. But the average american is a good person to me and I have nothing but love for the vast majority of American people. I also find Americans just as nice as Canadians
People often generalize others of a different country based on government which is unfair.
Americans (for the most part) kinda hate all those things too. All three beget each other... its a vicious cycle.
I feel I speak for all polite canadian's when I say F*** you Burger King you stole our Tim Hortons and changed our perfect coffee lids! There is F***ing DoubleDouble all over my lap! lol
Form My Experiences in Canada Canadians love America the Country and the American People but they don’t like our foreign Policy our Politicians and our Healthcare System of course.
Most Canadians hate The USA . It’s actually sad tbh
As a Canadian we also sometimes use time to measure stuff (i.e; “the store is five minutes north”)
we do too in america lol
Idk why this sounds cursed to me
@@Zodchi perhaps, I've noticed that like if you ask how far somewhere is Americans USUALLY seem to say it in miles rather then time.
@@DilettanteThat that’s also true. I think it depends on the scenario, if someone in a car asks you how far somewhere is, most would say “it’s about 2 miles north”. If walking you might hear “it’s about 5 minutes north” or just say “it’s two blocks north”
@@DilettanteThat I don’t know, in my part of America it’s like, “How far is the Supermarket?” “Oh, it’s like five minutes if you use the highway, but there’s also it’s rush hour so you might get stuck in traffic.” “Okay, thanks.”
I cannot agree more with the “Less Canadians adore the United States”

Absolutely love your work. I'm a west coast Canadian who grew up on Vancouver Island. The world here is so completely different than most other places in North America. BC has deserts and rainforests. Canada is often forgotten about in history. The raid of Dieppe and Vimy Ridge are big moments tied to Canadians being part of pivotal moments in history.
I was really surprised by this west coast climate as a teenager. We left montreal it was RIDICULOUSLY cold that week (around -30 wich is NOT, I repeat NOT easy to cope with). I then proceed to arrived in a 8 degrees Vancouver with no snow to be found and it was mid january... it blew my mind :)

A cool fact about Canada. Depending on the area, you can find translations in more than just French and English. Mostly languages of native communities in the area.
As a Canadian, I find myself using all three terms: washroom, bathroom and restroom. I use washroom and bathroom synonymously but generally I say bathroom when I'm at home and washroom when i'm at school or out and about. I use restroom not as often but whenever I am in a somewhat fancy situation I will say restroom.
Same. But Americans seriously call pencil crayons coloured pencils?????
I never knew that
@@rachelj1379 I only realized that when I started making art, and found packs of pencil crayons labeled as colored pencils.
To me, the term ‘restroom’ is strange. I don’t go there to rest. I don’t see a need to use a euphemism for toilet.
same here in india
American tourist "Canada is pretty similar to the US, you know same culture, same language."
Travels to Québec : "Wtf is going on here? I didn't know you could drive to France."
You actually can take a ferry from Canada to France, there is a small island near Newfoundland
also, nefoudland\labrador is bilingual
@@mateoberkhout4111 Yeah, I know about Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. But you can't really drive there, I don't know if you can even bring a car there. Newfoundland is not bilingual, at all. Québec is only French and New-Brunswick bilingual, the rest are only English. There are only 3% non English speakers in Newfoundland, hardly enough to be bilingual.
You’re hilarious 😂
The French side of Canada has there own thing going on
@@latrellleach3923 They're so different they literally think they're a different country.
I learned so many things about the US and I find it funny how not many Canadians adore America, as Americans love Canada. Also, Americans call pencil crayons coloured pencils?! Also, I think you should've added how Canadians spell some words (like colour) with an "ou" and Americans spell them with an "o". Also about the Zee and Zed thing.
I think a lot of people like Canada because its always seen as a country to espire to. Its no coincidence that Canada has been the country many Americans turn to for refuge or medical care. I always hear Amercians overstate how good our medical system is.
Americans don't have "Coloured pencils" they have "colored pencils"
As a Canuck I've kinda always used Zee and Zed interchangeably. Dunno why.
Canada was far more british for most of its existence. I remember singing “God save the Queen” every morning while saluting the then-new maple leaf flag in one corner with a Union Jack in the other….
You are half way to being correct in saying that not many Canadians adore America. Unfortunately the harsh truth is that Canadians universally despise the U.S and make it their convenient target of criticism at every single opportunity. Nobody has the courage to speak out against rogue regimes so instead we practice the worst of hypocrisy by continuously and vigorously attacking our neighbour, largest trading partner and ultimately our protector all the while taking part in your culture, commerce, entertainment and vacation spots. THAT is the true Canadian way.
You have to throw Mexico into this relationship. Canada and Mexico have so much in common living next to the US. I know alot of Mexicans that have immigrated to Canada and they love it here (in Vancouver anyways) It's fun talking to them about how much the US has had such an influence on them much like the US has had with Canada.
Mexico and Canada are as different as winter to summer. The US and Canada are so much alike, I do think Canadians are timid. They (Canadians) are starting to stand up and speak up but as time is going on it is dividing.
Nah. We Americans are sandwiches between two sh*tholes.
Mexico is NOT up to U.S & Canadian standards.
As someone with dual citizenship to both, I'm excited for this one.

As a Canadian I can tell you that Mr. Beat is 100% correct at 11:41 out worst fears when travelling abroad is being mistaken for an American 😂
lol
It’s disappointing that American tourists have such a bad reputation sometimes.
Not true if you are a Québécois. In that case, your fear is being mistaken for a French person.
Haha yeah made that exact fopar in 1991 when I was in Japan and I meet a Canadian, to Aussies it's hard to tell the difference, I don't know if you have the same problem with Aussie and Kiwi accents?
That’s why it’s not uncommon to find Canada flags on suitcases. It’s not so much patriotism, but more so “please don’t think I’m American”
Canada’s use of the imperial and metric system can be summed up by us using imperial measurements when it comes to personal things ie height and weight and use metric for something that isn’t personal ie distance or speed limit. Also we originally had thanksgiving at the same time as the USA but we changed it to the second Monday of November (I could be wrong about that part) before completely changing it to the second Monday of October due to us (the government) not wanting anything else major in the same month as Remembrance Day (Canada’s Memorial Day). And fun fact we also have the largest natural land border between two countries.
We got suckered into the metric system by the Americans.They backed out after we committed to it. It was too expensive for them to change.
Canadians use the imperial system because of trade, and trades like plumbing and electrical. When we purchase steel, wool, and cloth we use imperial. We purchase almost everything from the US. Including things that are manufactured in China. When we purchase something from either the US or China it uses Americans systems such as NEMA. However when we order from Europe or are doing something for a European company, it will use a system such as IEC. I worked for a steel company (am now an electrician) and we would get so many orders from the US that we just used the imperial system for everyone and everything.
Love your content dude, awesome video!

@@zackprice8688 depends on the household then
@@briannar13 I would imagine many different people here
@@zackprice8688 unless you were still in school when they converted from imperial to metric. That was grade 11 for me. I convert automatically whether I'm in the states or Canada. It's ingrained.

I love how he put pewpiepie for the Swedes owning land in North America
The importance of the imperial system in Canada was kind of understated. The govt uses metric, but informally and professionally, it isn't really used (outside of scientific purposes, much like the US). That is unless you're "forced" to, like with temperature, speed limits and distance, because these are given to us as such. People measure their height in feet, their weight in pounds, pool temp and oven temp in Fahrenheit, land size in sq ft. In fact, if one were to use the metric system on construction sites, they would get weird looks (understandably so, since all plans use imperial).
Thank you for giving the km equivalent of miles in this video, very helpful as a Canadian lol
What about comparing Abu Dhabi and Dubai. It will be epic.
Great suggestion
The same though
Other good comparisons in that region would be Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and UAE (compare 2 of any of them) and Yemen Oman

Some fun facts is that Detroit is actually north of Canada specifically Windsor, Ontario and the Detroit River separates the two cities so typically around the US Independence Day or Canada Day there is a large fireworks display on the river celebrating the two holidays of the two countries.
That's awesome

Neat. Didn't know that. Sweet.
Yep I’m from Windsor and Detroit is south of us , funny thing where Windsor is located in the Great Lakes region we are more south then about 10-15 states .... most southern city in Canada 🇨🇦 also got a great relationship with people in Michigan& plenty of family that way !!
@@smokeyrobinson3199 I actually have family from Windsor!
I don't know wat to say this is amazing!! Great job! 🥰🥰
I'm glad you like it
Thank you for making this video
One of my friends that live in Canada loves bragging about how he lives in Canada and not the US, but I’m gonna show him this video to prove how similar they are and what their pros and cons are.
Nice video though
I'm a Canadian musician that used to work on the cruise ships, most offten out of LA and Miami. I lost count how many times an American passenger asked me while standing close to a staircase "do these stairs go up"?
What does that mean loll
@@OuiMimi yeah honestly what the hell does this mean
YourLocalMedic is it an american expression?
maybe it refrers to canada being more up north?
I think they mean do they go somewhere that they are allowed
”Canada and the United States compared”
United States: SAH - RRY
Canada: SOH - RRY

It is spelled with an o, so...
Americans say sorry now?

americans: hatred against other countries.

There’s also a lot of smaller things in different provinces and territories that really differentiate parts of Canada and US, though I’m sure it’s the same with the US they seem very similar to generalize ation but the differences really do become obvious when you go between the two countries and to different places in the two countries
1:00 Canada might've adopted the metric system in general, but in Quebec, if you don't know both the imperial AND metric systems, you're gonna struggle a bit 😅. We use both systems 👀. We measure people's height in imperial, cook in imperial, drive in metric, measure construction materials mostly in imperial and use imperial tools (e.g. drill bits are labeled in fraction of inches), but everything in the education system is in metric.
I'm a Canadian and I traveled to Florida when I was younger and I was shocked when someone asked me If I lived in an igloo. I thought it was a joke but they were completely serious! Like what do the US teach there kids about Canada?! but I also traveled to Wales and a girl that was my billet didn't know where Canada was at all! I'm disappointed no one it the world knows who we are or just assumes we are the same as the US! XD
We know it's kinda like the arctic in some places and some people don't understand that barely anyone if anyone at all lives in those places.
Floridians think that anything north of them is currently going through an ice age. At least I think they do I’m not from Florida
I remember one time I brought ketchup chips to American and everyone was confused, I even had one person come up to me and ask if he could have one. That’s when I learned they don’t have them in America
I remember going into Massena and Syracuse to do school shopping ( that one time the CAD was doing better than USD) and on our way back we were stuck in a long line at the border. My siblings and I were going up and down the line of cars peeking in at the people inside, It was the last week of August Probably about +35-+40 celicius (hella hot) and We came upon this guy who was sealed up in his station wagon, windows rolled, AC on wearing a PARKA with SKIS on his roof rack.... Seriously SKIS ON HIS ROOF RACK.
Later in life while watching Die Hard 3 I was reminded of this experience when McLaine and his buddy Sammy J the taxi driver Chased the criminals to the Canadian Border where it suddenly went from Sweltering Heat in NY to a Blizzard in Quebec..... IN THE SAME DAY!!! So I guess we could hold Hollywood to account for part of it??
@@burninghotdogs4876 Those are a real thing? I learned something new today. Yeah, we definitely don’t have them here
There are more differences in daily terminology, e.g.:
Americans go around stealthily in "sneakers".
Canadians go charging ahead in "running shoes".
“Go charging around” LMTO
Spelling and some pronunciation as well
American - honor, favorite, color, "zeee" (last letter of alphabet )
Canadian - honour, favourite, colour "zed" (last letter of alphabet)
@@bpink8214 idk why, but it strikes me so strangely when I hear someone pronounce the letter z as "zee"
@@theroyalkiwi8848 yeah I hate it so much.
In Canada we definitely say sneakers 20x more than running shoes
thank you Mr Beat for this video
Great video man well done
The two are basically brothers with The UK and France being the parents.
Agree
Disagree
The UK is NO "parent" of the United States. Maybe Canada since they still acknowledge the queen as their ceremonial head of state. But the United States does NOT.

It's a very sibling like relationship it seems to me between the two with America being the elder kid. America truly loves Canada more. Heck, most Americans absolutely adore Canadians. Canada pretends to dislike America, but in reality would be heartbroken if it should ever die.
Anahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha when I read that last part I don’t actually know if your serious or not, but if you are, every person I know hates America, the only thing you guys are good for is comedy/news
@@SupaSillyThyme Mhmm. You hate America so much that you love to trash talk it on an American platform, using a device that's also powered by electricity. Something America also created. I bet some of your favorite movies and tv shows are also American made.
Tell me what Canada did that makes it so amazing? Oh that's right, NOTHING!! So all you (and many other bitter Countries like you) can do is consistently throw salt at a Country that actually has made a huge impact around the world.

Toronto feels similar'ish to a US city but it does not feel like a US city. As someone who has spent a lot of time in Toronto but was born in NY
th-cam.com/video/NfVu_TZ7EJs/w-d-xo.html
YOOO same man I was born in NYC and have gone there many times but I live near Toronto and this is so true
As a lifer in Toronto I agree but when I was a kid Toronto was more like a British colony.
Someone once said that Toronto was like New York but run by the Swiss (i.e. ultra tidy and clean). I wouldn't know if this is true having never visited.
@@nevillemason6791 well as someone who has been to both Toronto and NYC it is true Toronto is a cleaner and more harmonious NYC with its big electronic billboards in the downtown sectors and Old Toronto being like a smaller Manhattan with their downtown sectors but has the population of Chicago (been to Chicago too but Toronto is also less dense than Chicago and NYC due to Toronto’s land size) but Toronto’s variety levels of attractions compare to Chicago more than NYC (NYC’s variety of attractions compare more to London tbh)
I live in Canada and I would rather be too cold than too hot. I get too cold easier, but I think the hotness is more uncomfortable. I can wear more and more clothes until i am not too cold, but i can only take off a certain amount of clothes.
For example, when my mom, dad and I went to Japan, Italy, France, Germany and Mexico in August, not all in the same year , I felt so hot that I didn't have the energy to explore around much. It was the same with going to Cuba in July, even Austria in May.🛸🐇🌞☹️💀😭 Maybe it's because my body is more used to cold temperatures.
Still, I think the climate is a small factor in deciding where to live. People can adapt.
Agreed. It's too darn hot in a lot of the U.S.
I'm so glad there were no stereotypes and that all the info was accurate. No "bagged milk" or "eh" nonsense hehe
"Canada is slightly bigger than the United States."
*Distant American screaming*
lmao
But you know, most of that Canadian land is under ice right now.
Actually if you just measure land area, the US is slightly bigger
No? If you do that America is smaller, and behind China
@@Maxtrius145 A simple Google search will yield:
US land area: 9.14 M km^2
Canada land area: 9.09 M km^2
Canada is our little sister and just like human siblings, there is a little rivalry there and some teasing. But in the end, when push comes to shove, we have each other's backs.
That's a good way to sum it up.
Yeah, the best way to explain them.
That's true
Canadian here. Good analysis! But I think it's that 'little rivalry' that makes us so close.
I can agree with that! :)
Thank you for this. I am British and live in Britain-or the UK if you prefer. I know of the countries that mostly speak English around the world-the UK of course; the Republic of Ireland-ROI, who are our neighbours; then as here Canada and the USA; Australia and New Zealand; South Africa; Cyprus and Malta. Most other countries, particularly in Europe, talk in English at times too. Here in Britain we use Celsisius-or Centigrade; rather than Farenheit for the weather; whilst although the metric system is used in some ways, miles are used rather than kilometres-km-on road signs as such. Words too are slightly different, as a u is used say in colours or neighbours too. Odd really somehow. Well done though!
Thank you for that of course too!

Dude, most Canadians don't know we became an independent Country until 1982.
I am so glad you put that in.
That because it's not quite true and mostly did not affect people. The relationship with the Monarch remained the same. The Westminster Status of 1931 did that. Canada declared war on Germany on its own in 1939, probably the highest level of independence one can have, and was independent from even the Privy Council.
The main thing the 1982 Patriation did was to allow Canada to modify its own Constitution without the approval (mostly, the rubber stamping) of the British Parliament, since the latter "waited" for an agreement to emerge from all of Canada; signature is still dependent on the Queen of Canada at Buckingham Palace (and Québec has never signed). That was in fact the main concern in the UK in 1981-1982, the approval of the provinces.
nah cap bruh
@@Cancionera40 I mean its common knowledge, there were two referendums, and has since accepted it in law. (no they did not ratify it, they just accept it). The province got over it. You should as well.
Man Rick Mercer had a great bit on this in the 90s, something about letting Quebec leave, join em, and have a referendum to turn the name back to Canada.
Some classic comedy.
Sovereignty crisis is over bud...you guys won, with lots of concessions from the rest of Canada.
cuz that's wrong.
@@wendigo53 its not wrong, UK may have given us freedom of autonomy with the Westminster Statute in the 30's but we never reclaimed our Bill of Rights and Constitution (now Charter of Rights and Freedoms) until 1982 and the British House of Lords was still able to make changes if they desired until that then (they didn't make changes, but had authority to do so).
Mr. Beat:
I enjoyed your video very much. My father was a Canadian born in 1900 in Hamilton, Ontario. Much of my dad's relatives (and mine) still live in the area from Windsor to St. Katherine's to Toronto. I do have a few in the Calgary vicinity also.
Some of your characterizations were a bit off. Most of my family knows the dark side of "free" but managed healthcare. I had a close cousin die while waiting (9 months) for a mastectomy. Also, they are not as liberal, more conservative than your video portrays. The trucker situation during covid should have clued you in!
All in all, good job. I'm surprised you didn't survey residents of merging and becoming part of the USA.
Great video, thank you.
Greetings from a Canadian living in the UK! I couldn't resist the pull of the motherland.
I thought you were living in it.
Hi Julian. Where in the UK are you? I lived in Peterborough for 2 years.
I am the opposite, I emigrated to Canada in 1969 as a child and have been in Canada ever since!

Compare.......
Countries: Brazil and Argentina
Foreign Cities: Dubai and Abu Dhabi
US States: Missouri and Kansas
US Cities: Nashville and Memphis
Thanks for the suggestions!
Dude he already did Kansas and. Nebraska
Compare Brazil and Argentina? Two completely different countries, different languages, different colonizers, different sizes, everything else is different too. I think the only similarities between Brazil and Argentina is that both like football and barbecue. Trust me, you can hardly find another similarity between those two.
Wow I'm surprised someone recommended Missouri vs. Kansas. He already did Kansas and Nebraska but Kansas' real enemy is Missouri and vice versa.
How cool is that. The Vietnam War period was an interesting one for these countries, seen for example in the infamous meeting between LBJ and Prime Minister Pearson. Canada also has stricter border control for US visitors compared to the EU for example. Some of that might trace back to aspects of the Vietnam Era.
im a bit not informed on this are you refering to lbj as lebron james. i dont think so but still
Glad you mentioned Tim Horton's even if I haven't had a double/double since visiting Edmonton in 2007. Great coffee. Need to get back to visit someday after spending most of my time away from both countries with far more time in the Middle East. Man I miss green trees. I'll copy my favorite line from this page. " The US and Canada are like the two guys who became friends in class because they’ve been sitting beside each other for along time". Peace out my Northern friends! Miss my Aussie friends as well. Family left England in the 1820's, went to Sydney and then migrated to the US in 1854. Still pissed at GM for killing Holden but I still have my 2006 GTO , doubt I'll ever get the Monaro bolt ons now. I'm a bag of marbles...all over the place. Peace ooout.

14:33 one extra thing to note: the US doesn't have an official language at the national level, but most states have English as their official language, and some states and territories have their own other official languages as well (Hawaii's official languages are English and Hawaiian, South Dakota's official languages are English and Sioux, etc.). Here's a link to the full list: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Official_languages_of_U.S._states_and_territories

I am an American and can name all of the Canadian Provinces. I haved loved hearing what Mr. Trudeau has said especially during the pandemic and the Trump years. I watch Murdock mysteries, and know the words to your national anthem. I also root for Canadian athletes in the Olympics, and was happy when the Raptors won the NBA. Like many Americans I say, "Oh Canada we stand on guard for thee."
Me too
Omg I loved that!!!
I bet you didn't know that Trudeau gave a terrorist who killed an American medic TEN MILLION dollars.
Oh ya, OH YA? I don't know the words to the 🍁national anthem. I knew it in primary school, but they keep changing the words and I can't be bothered keeping up.

People often talk about the canadians and americains having the same culture,but bits of canada are really differents from the usa.
For example, Newfoundland and quebec have a really cool culture.
One day I spelled mrbeast wrong and now I know all the presidents and (some) vice presidents in order

It was destiny.
Very little differences really. I’ve always loved Canada and its people. Traveled across the lower two western provinces and was impressed with the unspoiled beauty and cleanliness. Way to go Canada. My father was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. Would love to see it sometime.
I'm sure you would love it, the region around Sherbrooke is a Quebecer's favorite for vacations.
I live in Sherbrooke, born and raised here. It's kinda a nice place to live ngl, really chill and not that much happening. And the area around are fucking incredible, Orford, Magog, all incredible place. Pretty sure you will love it.
Sherbrooke boy here!
been to sherbrooke before. lovely place, i really enjoyed the food
Never been to Sherbrooke, but just across the the border in northern Vermont is really beautiful.
I was raised in Canada, but spent most of my life in the US. I grew up in N ova Scotia as ja kid; and we called them colored pencils (although with a 'u' - coloured) and not pencil crayons.

or the toilet I wonder?
