- Welcome to Australian Reacts, where an Australian reacts to all types of videos from around the world! In this video we check out 'Canadian Stereotypes!' and I see how they measure up against real knowledge from a local of "the land down-under". Overall we get to see a glimpse of what this incredible country has to offer and have some laughs along the way!

In Canada we came up with humidor and wind factor to complain more about the weather
Spring helps us acclimatize from the -40C of the winter to the 32C of the Summer, and Autumn gets us ready by slowly cooling from the 32C to the -40C
😂😂😂 We Canadians love to push our stereotypes! We find them funny, and often reinforce them!
You mean you are the one who tells them that the extension cord on the car is because it's electric?
I have a/c in my igloo, for the warmer days.
Like Canadians are nicer than other people.
Speak for yourself.
Weird Al Yankovic was nervous about performing his song ‘Canadian Idiot’ in Canada for the first time, but the audience loved it.
It's funny to be watching you talk about how we gotta be constantly watching the weather. I work outside and so far this morning I've seen rain, wet snow, ice pellets. In this province (British Columbia) this summer a town set the record for all of Canada ever for the hottest temperature. Last month we saw unprecedented flooding where the city of Abbotsford declared a state of emergency. So yeah weather is always changing here
Ah yes, the village of Lytton, BC... it set a heat record, and then it was promptly wiped out by a wildfire the next day.
Fun fact, Osoyoos regularly sets the record, as its at the very top tip of the Nevada desert, making it Canada's only sand desert. And 30-40 degrees is a "regular" summer
BC where you bring your sunscreen and your umbrella everywhere
In winter time many people don't have to worry about not having room in your fridge for your beer. You just leave it outside in your balcony or the back porch 😅
Unless it gets really cold, and the beer freezes. Not only is it "skunked" (i.e. the yeast is dead so it spoils), the bottles can also burst open.
@@wizardsuth The yeast is dead before you buy it. It's pasteurized. Draught is not.
Some Tim Hortons actually operates 24 hours a day and was started by NHL hockey player Tim Horton when commuting bwtn Buffalo(where he was playing with the Sabres) & his home in Scarborough (part of Toronto, Ont)
Actually my uncle's family was close friends of the Horton family
It's not 32C one day and then -40C the next(well not generally, LOL!) . Remember, in some of your other Canada themed videos - Canada is HUGE, from above the Arctic Circle to southern Ontario which is south of ALL of the northern US states and on level with northern California! Also we have TRUE four seasons - so the weather transitions from one season to the next gradually,except the west coast(west of the Rocky Mountains) and bordered by the Pacific Ocean which remains fairly moderate year round,at least the southern parts. You can't eat sap directly from the maple tree - it needs to be collected and boiled for a long,long time greatly reducing and concentrating the sugars to create actual syrup.All of this created by the indigenous peoples centuries ago,and they would pour it onto snow and wrap the hardening syrup onto sticks making a sweet treat to eat as is still done today in "Sugar Bushes" mostly in the east in the spring. Maple syrup and natural honey would have been some of the only sources of "sweet" before the sugar cane industry developed.
Drinking maple syrup from the bottle is not a thing. Touque comes from French Canadian language.2-6 refers to 26 oz. bottles of booze.
Never heard of/seen anyone drinking maple syrup from the bottle. But it’s true it runs in our veins so, who knows for sure ? Touque is actually from the french tuque, and is simply a beanie. An important back country lumber town in Québec is named La Tuque. Also, dear Aussie friend, Canada has Indigenous Peoples, not Aborigenes. Words matter !
When I was young I worked outdoors in Northern Alberta at -50 C a couple of times. In Southern Ontario you'll want air conditioning in the summers. Misconceptions of life in Canada comes from the US, because we scare them.
I don't think I can fathom being alive, let alone working outside in those temperatures!
They're afraid we'll come back an torch their White House again. LoL
@@SatsumaTengu14 - Three Trolls in a Baggie sum up that event quite nicely in the War of 1812
Everybody scares them.
@@SatsumaTengu14 - That's so lame. It was 1812; it was *British* North America, not Canada. It was a draw. *We* even have the San Juan Islands. Care to give it a go in 2022? (Didn't think so.) Parts of the U.S. get as cold as Canada, *much* warmer than Canada, and real tornadoes, hurricanes....
Also, it's called a cafe because it used to just be coffee and pastries. It was a coffee shop. but as the markets tightens and squeezed it expanded to be a restaurant.
I live in Manitoba where the big joke is; if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it will change.
I like maple syrup, but would never drink it straight from the bottle. It’s much too expensive, lol
2:20 - Yes I do constantly check the weather. I live in northern Ontario, Canada and weather is always changing. And there can be some drastic changes too! I've worn shorts and t-shirts one week and the following week I'm shoveling snow. This happens occasionally but not every year.
Literally we love talking about the weather lol 😂 but it does get super hot in Ontario. We hit 45C and we feel the impact of global warming so much.
🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
This was definitely an example of a Canadian playing up all the stereotypes for a laugh. Being the second largest country in the world with six time zones and a huge mountain range we get variety of climates. I live in Southern Ontario where the summers can reach 38 C for days at a time. It's also warm enough to have vineyards.
In summer 2021 it was hotter in BC than it has ever been in Las Vegas. Ever.
Yummy maple syrup! In the province of Québec, there's a treat called la tire sur neige. It's basically warm syrup that is poured onto the snow, and then you take a little craft stick and begin to roll it around collecting all the syrup. It becomes a taffy at that point. Highly recommend 👌
We have that at La festivale du Voyageur in Winnipeg. That stuff is delicious!
We have that here in newfoundland aswell! You don’t get it much but every now and then you will hear someone say they went to a place and had it
In Quebec we do it often once a year (give or take) in Le temps des sucres we go at one of the Cabane à sucre and eat many things with maple syrup reunited with our families 🤷🏻♀️ then we go eat la tire sur neige so much sugar that day😅
We love our 4 seasons!! Winter: Beautiful snowy cold days.
Spring: Cool, rain and then the tulips spring up.
Summer: Hot, beaches, BBQ’s and green.
Fall(Autumn): Cool, trees change to beautiful reds, orange and yellows.
I love every season!!!💗🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁
add lots and lots of mud, rain and clouds to that Fall list lol
@@svntn indeed
A common Canadian joke is, if you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes.
You have such a cheery upbeat voice and demeanour. Clicking on your video is like taking a happy pill without the happy pill.
Ha well I'm certainly glad to be that then!
🤣🤣 I'm the same when it comes to maple syrup, I just love the stuff, if you boil and stir it longer you get a creamy butter consistency, I would make crepes and slather them in maple butter, now it's a 2x a year treat lol
Great in coffee. One of my favourite lattes.
I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. And I get such a huge laugh out of what people think "us Canadians" are like. Toronto can get hot. Really really hot - most houses have air conditioners to deal with this. There are heat advisories all the time. But we do have a cold season, which actually doesn't get too cold till December/January. Snow hopefully arrives for Christmas... but not all the time. Then we are checking the weather constantly because one day can be above freezing, sunny and mild, and the next can be so cold you can't go out without your nostrils freezing. That lasts till about March. Then the thaw begins and it's shorts/tshirts, gardening, camping weather for a good long time.
Your comment about constantly checking the whether made me laugh cause it is very true. It’s sort of a morning routine thing to check the whether and then prepare accordingly if you’re going out anywhere. It can be especially crazy when a huge amount of snow is said to come so people swarm the grocery store to stock up on food and supplies so they don’t have to go out later. I remember many times when I’ve been getting ready to go somewhere, whether it be school, the store, the park or anything and my dad insisting I bring an emergency jacket and umbrella if need be. He also would always tell us to wear layers all the time so you can stay warm and if you get too warm you just shed them.
And that is just for snow, but some regions get really bad ice storms that freeze over everything and cause real problems lime power outages. No power in the cold is a big problem when you need heating! It can also be too cold to snow. Snow only happens in moderate colds. The real cold days feel like your lungs are crisping with cold dry air. But idk you get used to it I guess?
-10 C feels much colder in September than it does in April.
Tim Hortons was named after a hockey player. Last I heard, the franchise was purchased by Burger King and is now owned by Americans. Tim Hortons started off as a donut shop but started selling soup, sandwiches and a few other things,
Winnipeg is the Slurpee consumption capital of the world (followed by Calgary) which means people have to either drink Slurpees or use them as mix even in winter.
Frozen water turns to ice, not snow. To make a frozen drink, you have to use ice shavings.
Two Four = 24 bottles of beer.
Tim Hortons wasn’t just named after him, he started it. He tried a few failed burger joints but hit success with coffee
@@AL-fl4jk - true. Thanks for backing me up. Sometimes I wonder if he thinks that we are pulling his leg. We are trying to provide the interesting aspect of our country.
I can just picture him saying "come on!" to me saying that there is a desert in Manitoba (or any of the 50 other things I've said).
7 Wonders of Manitoba Episode 4: The Spirit Sands - youtube
Wrong,it owned by a Brazilian investment company who owns Burger King and other franchises.
Regarding temperature, here in Ottawa in early January, it was 2C two days ago and hit -24C 36-hours later. Our usual hottest day will be 35C and the coldest will be -35C here. Much of country experiences a 65 to 75 degree C variation over the year.
The Maple syrup one always gets me lol and I'm Canadian. Nobody here really gives a shit about Maple syrup that's a funny part.
You must be from out west in the east it is all over the place. It is more expensive than syrup made from sugar
@@lino9222 Yeah. It wasn't until I started watching these Canadian reaction videos that I realized that maple-flavoured stuff is all over the place here. They eventually put maple flavouring in everything.
There is also another Canadian food besides Poutine. Originating in Nova Scotia. The Donair. It is ground ,spiced, lamb (but people now use beef or chicken as well) , folded in a flat pita with a sour milk sauce plus whatever toppings you like tomato,lettuce,onions, etc... You can also get donair pizza. It tastes better than it sounds.
True Story: I'm Canada ... was in Atlanta ... a businessman ask how I could live in such a cold country ... I replied it was no colder than Detroit ... he said no way ... I watch the news and when it's 70 degrees in Detroit it's just 20 in Toronto! (Detroit is 200 miles or 300 kilometers from Toronto).
FYI: 70F = 20C ... hahaha
In the winter especially you constantly watch the weather. It does not get to -40 everywhere. some places like Nova Scotia don't usually get below -20. It happens but it is rare.
Lots of Aussies come to mountains to work and I've met many there. I used to tease them about the cold just to see their reaction.
This vid, does WAYYY more harm than good!!! While you can get extreemly cold weather here you can also get temps. hot enough to make you lose a few pounds a day in sweat....there is a transition between season's. That being said while the weather is transitioning you CAN get rain, sleet, snow(flurries), and then the sun comes out and your thinking about busting out the fans or air conditioning. Most of Canada is humid, winter or summer, however the prairies and the tundra in the artic tends to be dry ( technically tundra is a cold weather desert) one of the reasons the Canadian military are survival experts, we have every type of climate even rainforrest on the west coast it's just a bit colder than other parts of the world. My family and I live on the west coast now and are originally from NORTH Ontario ( yes, Ontarians make the difference) I woke up to my 11yr old son yelling ( YAAY!! SNOW!!) I groaned memories from back home flashed through my sleep addled brain of my youth and shovelling out the end of my parents drive way after the snow plow went by...then my wife's voice chimes in and reminds my son it'll probably be gone by this afternoon and I happily drift back to sleep...at least I would have if I didn't hear my wife call the school out here to confirm that the school wasn't having a snow day!!!! I swear Vancouverites turn into babies when there's more than an inch of snow on the ground!!!!! LOL
The little half circles on the sides of the Canadian bills are for security when you bend them to bring the to sides together the had circles meet up to make a oval which is hard for people who try to copy money to get right
I live in southern Ontario which is, arguably, the hottest area in Canada in the summer. The last few years we’ve seen temps up over 100 degrees (f). But it’s our humidity that kills us. There are days that, with the humidity, it can get to 120+ (f). It gets hot!! Coldest points here in southern Ontario run about November to March. Spring isn’t terrible, just incredibly wet. But, yeah, our summers are HOTTTTTT!!! Like melt all the shit in your vehicle hot. But we’ve got tons of lakes and beaches to get us through. And air conditioning in almost every home.
In Canada, Maple Taffy is actually quite popular. They take the snow and pour maple syrup horizontally, then put a popsicle stick on one end, and roll it up. If you ever come to Canada, I recommend you try it. Definitely not an everyday thing, but it's fun to try!
Well on that recommendation I'll make sure I do!
@@OJBReacts You are welcome to visit Canada anytime! 😁
I was born here a grew up Canada on the West coast in B.C. and have never ever heard of Maple taffy before. Must be a regional thing.
@@ronlhubbard1353 Perhaps, I don't have it every winter either only twice in my life. I suppose it just depends on where more tourists are?? I don't know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@ronlhubbard1353 It's something you get when you visit a sugar bush in the spring before the snow has melted. BC probably does not have the best weather for syrup production.
love your reaction to the stereotypes. Generally back in the day a twenty-sixer or2-6 is called that because it contains 26 one ounce shots in it now a days it is 750ml. In souther Ontario where i live in the summer we will have temperatures in the low to mid 30’s with a lot of humidity as well, it can be quite uncomfortable. keep the fun video coming and happy new year from Canada.
I always get a laugh from these sort of videos. Because Canada is so large many words are regional. For example, living on the West coast I only know the terms "mickey" and "6-12" from watching these types of videos. I've never heard them used in real life.
Poutine isn't particularly popular here either, though it is available and so do love it, instead Asian foods are far more common and popular.
As for the weather, well I live in a temperate rainforest region (think evergreen trees like cedar/fir/pine, lots of moss and a thick undergrowth of bushes and ferns). We might get snow 1-2 days a year, the rest of the winter is just rainy with temps between 0c - 10c on average. During the summer we average 20c - 30c and plenty of sunshine.
But that's just the West Coast, drive an hour or two inland and things are different, let alone half way across the country.
Oh, and no we don't drink maple syrup (well most of us don't). Some folks don't even like it! Those folks are weird and we don't talk about them.
Ahh I see, so even something like that is basically a regional dialect. Honestly judging by what it looks like I'm fairly sure I would take Asian cuisine over many types of potato any day!
So you're saying that maple syrup to Canadians is identical to Vegemite to Australians! Because some people somehow don't like it, however some people can eat it straight from the jar... (maybe that's me) :)
Poutine is a heart attack in a bowl but definitely worth to try at some point in your life. Smokes poutine, a poutine shop in Canada, had a hangover poutine for a limited time. The regular fries, cheese curds, gravy, but it also has scrambled eggs, bacon, and maple syrup. Was my favourite poutine I've had
I’m a Canadian and last summer the temperature went up to +52 degrees Celsius
And over the winter it went down to -42 degrees Celsius
Legit the weather mood swings especially in transitional seasons like Fall and Spring are crazy! Hi from Ottawa! 👋🏻🇨🇦
I'm also gonna bet.. just about every kid has been to the sugarbushes for freshly boiled syrup on snow. Just about everyone I know has harvested their own syrup. Maple (and birch) are precious trees in Canada. Thus, the maple leaf on our flag.
❤🇨🇦❤
I can only remember one day in February when it was below zero in the morning and 22 celsius in the afternoon. I was working both indoors and outside at the time. It was quite a nice shock to the body.
Not unusual to hit 40c with the heat index in the summer. It was -20c wind chill in Toronto this morning. Tim Hortons is the largest fast food chain in Canada (much larger than MacDonalds). We do have a blend of maple syrup and rye whiskey (Sortilage) which is popular. 26 ozs. And eh is in the dictionary, and we use it a LOT. Canada comes from “Kanata” which is an Iroquois word for village.
For poutine the hard part is to get the proper type of cheese. It's NOT mozzarella.
Yup, got to be fresh curds that squeak when you chew them.
@@robertpearson8798 But for those who live outside Canada, I wonder if any other cheese could be used as a substitute. For example, both halloumi and paneer keep their shape when heated. However halloumi (and nabulsi) are very salty, whereas paneer is not salty at all. Maybe making a batch of paneer with more salt?
I wouldn't use regular cheddar because it melts and creates a puddle of fat. And mozza tastes close to cheese curds but it melts too much. Most French cheeses are too tasty (Vacherin on poutine gives a powerful version but not for everyone's taste!)
@@hdufort You could use any cheese you like and you might love the result but it wouldn't be strictly authentic. I'm sure other places must have fresh cheese curd, it's just the newly made cheese before aging with the whey removed. Not sure if the type of cheese being made would make a big difference or not, I'm no cheese expert.
@@robertpearson8798 I'm glad I live in poutine heaven (near Granby/Saint-Hyacinthe, QC -- cheese curds are everywhere!)
@@hdufort Not as common here in Hamilton but still available.
Yeah it gets cold but it gets warm too, -40 windchill happens fairly often and some days it will hit -50, but on the flip side we’ve also got +40 or 50 at times in summer. (I’m in Manitoba and I think we have some of the larger temperature ranges there is lol. A few years ago I was out tank top and shorts doing yard work and got sunburnt (probably somewhere around20c) the next day we had snow again so yeah our weather can be hard to comprehend at times
I have a friend who used to work on a highway repair crew. He occasionally had people from south of the border stop and ask for directions. One summer day, when the temperature was in the 30"s Celsius, a guy with a trailer loaded with two snowmobiles stopped to ask him where he could find some snow. The guy wouldn't take no for an answer so he gave him directions to Alaska and the Bering Strait to Siberia (where there probably wasn't any snow either).
Damm well maybe he should have turned his car AC down, because it sounds like he wasn't exactly living in reality...
Lol when I was in college I worked in a hotel near Toronto and an American guest asked me if there was a hotel shuttle to Vancouver’s Gastown. (For those that don’t know, that’s about a 4.5 hour airplane flight)
@@AL-fl4jk I knew someone once who had visitors coming from the U.K. They were going to Vancouver but flew into Toronto because it was cheaper and wanted the friends in Vancouver to come and pick them up!
Actually as a Canadian the worst I have experienced was -40 (-47 with the wind chill) but there is an interesting side effect in that weather when you talk you will hear a very quiet tic tic tic what that is is your words freezing in the air.
I've seen it go from -20c to 10c in one day. I've seen it snow in every month of the year, but to be fair I live around Calgary and we get Chinooks.
We even eat ice cream cone in the winter time outside...As for the poutine it's not just French 🍟 and gravy with Gouda cheese curds anymore as some people have spicy pulled pork meat on it or pieces of chicken meat added on to their poutine, at least they do here in Northern Ontario.
In Manitoba it can get to -45C I lived there for 16 years so you get use to it after a while. But now I live in New Brunswick and when it gets -20 and people complain that its cold I laugh at them. But the weather in New Brunswick can change from one day to the other. In 2016 here in New Brunswick we had a record flooding along the St. John River from Fredericton and south. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 😀
Shit, he learned our secret. Maple syrup does flow thru our veins
I do put maple syrup on a lot of things I probably shouldn’t. Like salmon, smoothies, bacon, sausage...
I guess each to their own!
Tim Horton's was started by the late NHL hockey player Tim Horton. It's most famous for its double-double coffee with 2 cream, 2 sugar.
I'm in Calgary. Here, we have what are called chinooks which can cause 20-30C temp change in one day.
Some of us drink Swiss Chalet
gravy. SC is a national chicken franchise.
I've done the maple syrup over snow thing. Someone that probably originated in Quebec because they make the most maple syrup in the world.
I live in Ontario, there are entire states in the United states that the southern border is north of where I live. Summers are hot and humid and the extreme cold days are less than the days that are mild in the winter.
Temp here goes way higher than 32. It gets crazy hot here in the summer, along with all our water the humidity here is off the scale in the summer.
Toque comes from the Quebec-French word Tuque. It is such a Quebecker word that we even have a town called "La Tuque".
In the part of Canada I live in tomorrow has a high of -2 C (feels like -7 C) but then two days from now is 12 C (feels like 10 C). Love a swing of 14 C (swing of 17 C for what it actually feels like) in 24 hours.
yesterday, it was -32, woke up to rain and it’s 1c right now. we got that bipolar weather lol.
Most people do not drink maple syrup ! A 2-6 refers to a 26oz bottle. Maple syrup is great to flavour to add when cooking salmon, and several pork dishes, including bacon.
Oh man breathing cold air just fills your lungs to me it is refreshing.
a mickey is a 375 ml bottle of liquor. A 2-6 is a not very common name for a 750ml bottle (26 Imperial ounces) Bottles haven't listed measurements that way since the 1970s.
As far as cold goes I live in Winnipeg, Other Canadians often call us “ Winterpeg “. On average we are the coldest city in Canada in the winter, averaging -30 C, but we often go lower. You might think we would consume gallons of hot chocolate in winter. Fun fact for 22 years in a row Winnipeg is the “Slurpee” champion of the world! In case you’re not familiar with them they are a shaved ice drink with all kinds of liquid flavours poured on, and nearly everyone gets the largest size possible! My son even has gone to 7-eleven to get them in the midst of a mini blizzard!
Wow, it certainly is an insane climate, however yes I know Slurpees because Australia uses them to cool down on a hot summers day!
From edmonton alberta. Our weather in alberta can be absolutely wild. I've seen it go from -35 degrees celcius to above zero in 24 hours
Im near Kingston Ontario Canada and it is -17C and going to be +3C raining tomorrow which is a big difference here sometimes warmer but only a few weeks of -30c. It has not gone below that yet this year. withe the humid-ex it gets up to +40 or more where i work in the summer for around 1 month usually. I like your reaction videos keep it up
Can’t say I’ve heard 2-6 used (although the 26oz/750ml meaning is easy to figure out) but a 2-4 is a pretty common bit of Canadian slang (it’s a case of 24 beers).
2-6 is used in the west and a 2-4 used in the east
Life in Ontario is trying to not die of cold, then trying to not die of bugs, then trying to not die of heat, then enjoying fall for 2 weeks before doing it all over again.
-40 is the absolute worst (mostly if you live more north), not the common winter temperature. The daily average on the coldest month around where I live is -4.
Depending on where you live in Canada it can be super cold (I currently live in an area where -15 to -40°C is common), and Winter generally lasts 6 months of the year for most of Canada. I will point out that various places in Canada can get a random cold snap in Spring & Summer where even in Mid-August you can get a Blizzard of snow that usually disappears in a day or two.
However, there are places like the Lower Mainland of BC (Vancouver to Hope) that is part of the Temperate Rainforest biome and it is much more rainy than anything else. There is a running gag of the 40 days & nights of rain, and it has gotten to 39 days & 18 hours of rain straight (if it stops raining for a bit it resets, and technically it rains more than it is sunny there). We do have deserts in Canada, but they also go through winter with a little bit of snow (much like deserts in Chile).
Also maple syrup is not what comes out of maple trees, maple trees give out the equivalent of sweet water. Maple Syrup is what you get after boiling the water out of the sweet water from the trees.
Only Alberta!
The only month I haven't seen snow in Alberta. Is July.
@@Darthoil I know, July is like the magical month that a blizzard never seems to hit. April, May, June, August, September (the off season winter months) I have experienced a small one time blizzard in.
@@vaudreelavallee3757 I haven't lived in Saskatchewan or Manitoba, but I have heard they can have weather similar to Alberta. I am the most familiar with BC & Alberta weather because I have spent most of my life living in multiple areas of those provinces.
@@WildKat25 - Winnipeg has never had snow in July - though there were days I wish we did.
Generally, the weather is similar.
So i live in ontario, about an hour east of toronto and today is a perfect example of our weird weather: today and tomorrow is really cold out (-10 celsius) but then on sunday its going to go back to -1 celcius and we will get a big snowfall (15cm) thrn after a few days it will be above 0 celsius and all the snow will melt away lol. If i didnt have to go out today i would just stay home because its so cold, but alas i have to go out :)
You need to watch the "I Am Canadian " commercials and "The Highway Of Heroes"
Lol as a Canadian child in the 60's I would put on my blades in the porch and then skate down the street to the rink
Fun times
Mickey is from Mick an Irish slur that the Irish were call in the old days they are 12oz or 341ml and fit in the pocket of your coat (Mickey) The Irish were always suppose to be drunks and they could only afford the smaller bottle so that is where the term started at least that is what my Grandfather told me as a youngster. A 26oz bottle of booze in Ontario is called a 26er and a case of 24 bottles of beer is call a 2-4. Each region in Canada has their own slang for different things.
Fyi, maple syrup come out of the tree as "water". And if you drink too much of it (as little as 1/4 cup) you'll get the runs.
That cartoon is very tongue and cheek.
Winter (Nov,Dec Jan, Feb could be -40 higher with wind chill it can be much higher ). Summer June, July, Aug ,September as hot as 40c but mostly lower
Lots of bins of seasonal clothes that get cycled out twice a year
Its currently May and 30 degrees celsius. Less than 1 month ago we had a snowstorm. Oh Canada.
We say there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes. We have to be prepared or uncomfortable.
The spring and fall give an easy transition from hot to cold, it’s not like it’s -40 one day and +32 the next....
There are alot of 2nd grade poutine like in Mc Donald. But a real classic poutine is impossible to dislike.
Some Canadians drink cold drinks when it’s like -30or sometimes -40
As a kid, when no one was looking I would take a swig out of the bottle. I think my brother did too. Only the pure maple syrup though. The artificial is horrible.
True facts i eat ice cream even when its -40 outside
You get used to it hurting when you breathe. That's minor Compared to the number the cold does on your digits and appendages. Easy to warm up harder to cool off.
although we often get the frozen drinks in the winter.
The majority of Canadians probably never consume maple syrup. "2-6" is 26 fl.oz. of booze. It just one of the typical sizes for Canadian booze bottles. A "40" is the other common booze reference, referring to 40 fl.oz. bottles. The popular spirits here in Canada for both 2-6s and 40s are rum (in white, golden, dark, or spiced dark), rye whiskey (ie Canadian whiskey) or vodka. Although those are the main ones we also consume our fair share of wine, tequila, gin, bourbon, and scotch etc. We also fancy beer and ours typically has a higher alcohol content than American beer. I have some cans in my fridge waiting for me as I write. They have 8% alcohol. (USA Budweisers have 5%. Bud Light is 4.2% Piss in Canada has more alcohol than a Bud Light 😋 ).
Oh and where I live in Canada (in the Atlantic provinces, North of New York) it rarely gets below -10 degrees Celsius in winter. So far this winter I haven't needed to shovel any snow. Knock on wood! I don't want to jinx it. We occasionally get a big dump of snow. Don't feel sorry for us as we just stay home eating 'storm chips' and drinking.
If you turn the bear on on a toonie upside down it looks like penguins
In BC is gets over 40 degrees every summer.
Sorry I forgot I wanted to add a lot of younger Canadians are not as familiar with the term a 2-6. This is because it refers to 26 oz of liquor, the way we referred to it before Canada adopted the Metric System. As teens we could always find an adult to buy us mickey (small bottle) or a 2-6 of vodka…..Party Time!
My favourite canadian fact is that 1/5th of all current Canadians aren't of Canadian birth, they've immigranted into our society.
8:54 I just call everything Pepsi now because it makes up 90 percent of my blood now.
Your right about the name Canada, I believe the aboriginal word is kinata , I believe it means Village or small Village.
2-6 = 26 oz, basically a regular liquor bottle. No idea where Mickey came from. How good poutine is, is controversial as it depends on how drunk you are.
-40C is pretty extreme, leaving work downtown Toronto this morning it was around -12 C (my car was struggling a bit to start) or so but wind chill makes it feel a few degrees colder. -40C you would probably see in dead of winter in the far north but most of us are close to US border anyway due to trade, weather, and farmable land in south. Summers in Toronto are awesome, humid and scorching hot with Wasaga beach an hour north of Toronto, the world's longest freshwater beach, 14 Kms long makes for a good time. You are right about the name origin of Canada, they are just being clever 🤣
BTW I heard Mickey many times but never 2-6. Also common here is 2-4 for a case of beer (24 beers in a large case)
Long Point beach is 40 km long, nearly 3 times as long as Wasaga beach.
@@wizardsuth Wow sounds like a real nice place. I looked it up, is that on Martha's Vineyard? Remember though Wasaga is freshwater whereas Long Point is not. Wasaga is world's longest freshwater beach (Georgian Bay, part of Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes).
Find the Stomping Tom Connors song C.A.N.A.D.A Also Quebec has a strategic reserve of maple syrup. Finally, there was a theft of said maple syrup that made national headlines.
Im from newfoundland and our temps avarage around zero degress cel around winter
In BC Canada it goes from -20 to 50 (Celsius) 🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact,
before monopoly was invented
Canada did have colored bank notes
Maybe somebody should check that out!!!
👵🏻🇨🇦
Canadians don’t drink maple syrup from the bottles and I also just because we have a winter doesn’t mean you don’t have a summer.
should have mentioned moose milk for christmas and new years. just make sure it was from a antlerless one.
And agree that Tim Hortons isn't a cafe. It's a doughnut shop chain that gets almost half their sales from coffee. Btw, they own Burger King and Popeyes so a pretty big company. Those Canadian notes have a fully transparent window, holograms, you can't rip them in half, and they have lots of other features. The Canadian Mint have been printing currency for countries all around the world for decades due to their technology.
I'm a Canadian, but I can tell you the Aussies were the first country to invent polymer banknotes. They were using "plastic" banknotes back in the 80s.
I love our Canadian banknotes, but the Aussies, hands down, have the best banknotes for sure. Canada, only prints banknotes for New zealand, the the Canadian mint makes coins for many many Countries.
Tim Horton's is owned by Burger King. That's why they changed their bean suppliers. Now McDonald's has Tim's old supplier of beans.
I swear Tim's put something in their coffee. It never tastes the same when uou make it at home.
Yes McDonald's has better coffee.
I'm a Canadian who has been watching a number of your videos. You are very sweet, but I have to say you talk very fast. About Canadian stereotypes, I live in Vancouver BC, and I will tell you it does not usually get very cold in my little corner of the country. That being said, it happens to be below zero Celsius right now and there is snow on the ground. But, there is about a 5 percent chance of having snow in Vancouver on Christmas. Vancouver is different than the rest of Canada. But, while I was born and raised on the west coast, I did go to university in Montreal, so I do know what a "real" Canadian winter feels like, and I could not wait to come home to beautiful British Columbia.
You haven't had a real Canadian winter until you spend the winter in Manitoba.
Just today I shoveled 8 inche's of snow in -24 Celcius. Right now at midnight it's -29 Celcius with a windchill of -38 Celcius in Edmonton
Beautish colombia gets rain 8 months per year and more..The higest rate of mental illness drugs per capita
@@jeanbolduc5818 well, it's all a matter of experience and perspective, but when I lived in downtown Montreal, I saw far more people with mental health and drug addiction than I ever have in my suburban neighbourhood in greater Vancouver. Also, sadly so many homeless people (who generally have higher rates of mental health issues and drug addiction) end up migrating west to Vancouver because it has the mildest climate. I would agree with you, if you cannot live with rain don't move to Vancouver, but I personally would take rain over snow any day.
A poutine is best after a night of drinking or going out, all that greece is great for the munchies. You wouldn't want to tap a maple tree and drink the sap. Usually four gallons of sap will give you one gallon of syrup. Oh and a Canadian gallon is not the same as a US gallon
