@GinaJalufka the braille you’re describing on our Canadian currency is for low vision and legally blind people. This type of braille is not used for people like us who are blind. Pitkin braille is classified as non universal braille, which covers a spectrum of blind people with severe visual disabilities. I am blind, and I read braille, and it is very different than the dots you feel on our currency, however, even blind people can identify Canadian currency because of it being accessible to everyone that is low vision or legally blind. ❣️🇨🇦
@@Umbrellaoflove Same with Kirin Japanese beer. The top of the can has braille bumps that apparently alert one to the fact that it is an alcohol beverage. Some other beers also have braille on the top of their cans, but I haven't personally seen them.
Celine Dion is a native French speaker. LoL English is her second language and to this day she still has a very strong French accent when she speaks English.
My sister used to watch her perform at the Harbourfront in Toronto. People would watch her sing for free, but she was singing in French. It was before she learned English. Her concerts certainly aren't free, these days.
@@personincognito3989her accent is really strong, listen to any interview she's ever done in English. Singing doesn't count since accents of any kind tend to flatten out and all but disappear when singing.
Our milk is in bags for a few reasons. One, it stays fresh longer because you're only opening one small amount at one time instead of the entire gallon. Also, they bags are easier to store, taking up less space in your fridge or freezer. They take up less space in land fills, and are easier to recycle. Bags are the superior container.
Yes, after seeing Part III, I watched the original 101 facts, and noticed they missed mentioning the Bluenose when talking about the word as a nickname for Nova Scotians. The Bluenose appears on Canada's 10 cent piece, and that's because it won the International Fishermen's Trophy against competition from the U.S..
LOL "Because our Noses are blue from the cold climate" LOL I hope that was just a joke, if not then Tyler needs to find someone who actually does research and not just guessing. Look at the Dime for god sake
Caribou are what reindeer are called in North America, and can be found in huge herds throughout much of Canada's arctic and Alaska. One is depicted on our 25 cent coin, and yes, we use the terms quarter, dime, nickel, and penny (when we still had them).
Caribou and reindeer are not the same thing. Reindeer have shorter legs, and cannot survive in a wild herd. Reindeer are to Caribou what Dogs are to Wolves
@@kerrijill7442tell that to the herd of wild reindeer (approximately 22 000 of them) living on the Svalbard archipelago. They didn’t get the memo that they can’t survive in wild herds.
Caribou(indigenous name)are wild. The same animal , when domesticated are then called reindeer- so Santa has reindeer, petting zoos - reindeer, the indigenous SAMI people ( appear similar clothing and some culture, but distinct to the Inuit) of Scandinavia, who actually herd and raise/ utilize and are integral to their lives - reindeer!
@@kerrijill7442 There absolutely are wild Eurasian reindeer. From Wikipedia: In Eurasia, both wild and domestic reindeer are distributed across the tundra and into the taiga. Eurasian mountain reindeer (R. t. tarandus) are close to North American caribou genetically and visually, but with sufficient differences to warrant division into two species. The unique, insular Svalbard reindeer inhabits the Svalbard Archipelago. The Finnish forest reindeer (R. t. fennicus) is spottily distributed in the coniferous forest zones from Finland to east of Lake Baikal: the Siberian forest reindeer (R. t. valentinae, formerly called the Busk Mountains reindeer (R. t. buskensis) by American taxonomists) occupies the Altai and Ural Mountains.
Just saw the thumbnail and had to comment. My 42 year old son picked up some groceries for me as I've been sick for a few days. He even refilled the jug and left the corner of the bag in the drawer with the scissors.🤣🇨🇦
I'm in Quebec i know they still have those bags in groceries and Walmart but i never saw anyone buying it and last time i saw those bags i was a kid in the late 80s early 90s or something like that.
Definitely do a video of the West Edmonton Mall. It has a skating rink, a water park, a submarine, etc., etc., etc. not to mention a lot of stores/restaurants and a hotel attached to it.
I walked my sister out onto it while blabbing away and keeping eye contact. Then stopping in the middle of the glass, I casually looked downward. Then she looked down, followed by a scream. It was glorious.
You have that backwards. The schooner is named after the fisherman of Nova Scotia who were known as blue nosers due to the blue dye used in the gloves or mittens they wore that would get on their noses when they were working.
Leslie Neilson and I liked the Mountain Rose restaurant in Jasper, Alberta. I sat across from him several times when I went for coffee over the years. It was cool.
Ice wine ain't so random. Like maple syrup, Canada is internationally renowned for the production of exceptional ice wine. Expensive, but worth trying once in a while.
@@jenniferlindsey2015 Its a dessert wine. And not surprising that its sweeter since like the other dessert wines (the ones with the fungus, aka noble rot) since the ice ends up removing quite a large amount of the water content.
After experience using both a gallon jug and our bags, I hate buying milk in jugs. It's super convenient just to not have to hold up a massive jug of milk to pour that first spoonful for your coffee. They're also way easier to store. It's SO much more convenient.
I agree and the bags freeze really well too. When I find a good sale on milk I'll buy 3 bags ( 3 bags in one ) and freeze them. They lay flat and stack well on freezer shelf. I could never do that with a jug.
@@kontiuka Cream cost more and the containers aren't as large so would need to buy more, plus cream has a lot more fat. If you've never experienced milk in bags then you would never understand.
Sorry your so weak you can't pick up a jug of milk out west we have 2&4 litre jugs and 1&2litre carton as for convenience it's easier to just remove it lid and then replace it su you don't have every smell and taste in the fridge
I live about an hour from Wasaga beach and it's AMAZING!!! You can walk out for a long while before you need to actually swim, and the water is warm and clear most days.The only problem is overcrowding because it's a popular tourist spot to cool off in the summer. You can buy winter jackets that are rated for -88C. They can be expensive, but well worth it for the cold winter.
@@MapleCountry905you obviously never been on a Skidoo going 100km/h at -20c. Let's just say that spring windbreaker with a fleece isn't going to cut it.
Wasaga Beach is a pretty cool spot. There's sand dunes that go a ways out. To me it looked like a tourist trap. It's well worth it but it's also very busy
Yes over 14 km of white sand, in the summer it is raked daily by the provincial park maintenance. crew. You can look across Georgian Bay to see the view of Blue Mountain, and the Niagara Escarpment.
We have a military base almost at the northern most point, called CFS Alert. People 'live / work' there year 'round, but with massive military airlifts of supplies once or twice a year.
The glow in the dark coin is a collector edition coin. The Canadian mint issues different collector coins throughout the year that you can purchase at the post office. No-one actually uses them for currency, although they would be accepted if you chose to spend one.
Niagara’s ice wine is very well known all over the world. They have to wait until the weather is -8C for at least 24 hrs. They squash the frozen grapes while they harvest them so the ice wine is the sweetest. This usually occurs in the middle of the night.

If you ever see a moose on the road you do whatever it takes to avoid hitting it. They are huge, but they have very long, skinny legs, so unless you're driving an 18-wheeler, the big heavy body and those antlers are going to come right through your windshield if you hit one. Few people survive that sort of encounter.
I have a friend who survived hitting one on a motorcycle! He's still recuperating five years later. Fun fact: He was lying in a ditch unconscious, out of site from the highway in the dark, when a motorist spotted his bike. Turns out she was a nurse and saved his life!
Moose don't go through a car's windshield. If a car hits a moose the moose will roll right over the car's roof. Moose are so much bigger than cars and SUVs
@@kerrijill7442 Sorry, your information is not accurate. I live in Alberta and have driven through Moose Row for years. Moose most definitely do go through windshields and have killed a lot of motorists. We always try to have an alert passenger or two watching for the moose if we have to drive that stretch.
I had a friend (who has sadly passed away for other reasons) who survived hitting a moose with his car TWICE. And he was driving one of those little semi-sports cars both times! He got away with scratches and scrapes, the moose got up and walked off pretty much unhurt, and the car was TOTALED both times (front end completely caved in. He was lucky he didn't wind up with the engine in his lap the second time)!
@lisaburke1150 there was a big penny and also a few commemorative coins. I believe there were 6 or 7 altogether. The penny was there longer than the rest. But down to just the nickel in the 80s. I'm not sure how long the others lasted. But as far as I know, they were all up in the 60s.
I prefer milk in bags for a very good reason. Having severely arthritic hands, there is no way I could pry open a carton or twist off a plastic lid. The bags only require a little snip with scissors. So much easier. 👍
and, if scissors are or become too much, there are square tools with a blade inside a cut corner that if you run the corner of the bag through it, it slices clean off. I think they are called Snip-its???
milk in bags is a specific to eastern canada thing -- here in western/mid western canada we dont do the bagged milk thing (but its done that way because of costs related to producing plastic jugs and cartons -- its also lighter to transport
The west used to have bagged milk. When Canada was switching to the metric system decades ago, Safeway iirc, (an American company) the largest grocery store chain in the west, didn’t want to pay the cost of milk manufacturers refitting to the 4L metric configuration and put the kibosh on it. Americans demanded and the west capitulated. 🤷♀️ Most of the Canadian population have access to bagged milk. Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime provinces. Newfoundland used to have it but I’m not sure if they still do. It’s more environmentally friendly as well. ✌️
@sinswhisper9588 I only remember seeing bagged milk as a kid and it was only those people that had milk delivered. Houses in the neighborhood had a small door beside the backdoor for that purpose. I don't know anyone who has milk delivered anymore.
This one got me ... I didn't think there was anyone on the planet who hasn't heard of Green Peace. Thought of Tyler while playing pick an imaginary lane driving around in the snow tonight. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
My uncle (by marriage) had a cousin who ran into a moose with her car. She’s in a wheelchair now. Broke her back in the accident. But at least she lived.
In Science class back in high school, we tried to figure out if the driver of an F1 car could survive a crash with a moose. The theory was the car would sweep out the moose's legs, passing underneath it's torso and most of the animal's mass. Using Google, we found out that the average moose's chest can be about 35 inches of the ground. An F1 car can be about 35 inches tall. I think the class decided we'd be better off hitting the moose than a deer in an F1 car that is 35 inches tall, but it still wasn't a great outcome (big surprise)
Milk comes in 4L bags of 3 smaller bags inside. It is easier to transport, keep cold, longer expiration date (i think), takes up less space and prevents the need to buy it as often (4L vs. 2L or 1L cartons). We generally have two plastic milk containers in my house (a blue one and a white one), blue for milk and white for either chocolate milk or homogenized milk. I personally find it more convenient, less susceptible to being drank from the bag/carton and you can see the product and its state through the clear plastic to know if its still in good condition. We have carton milk here too. But, I prefer the bagged milk. Thank you for your honest and hilarious show. If you keep it up, you may end up wanting to move here. Lol. I've only recently started watching your videos but I just cant get enough of them. It's a nice break from the majority of war content I normal watch. I am so sorry for the future of the US...... Umm, time will clarify this last comment. God bless and please stay safe!
@@IzzyOnTheMove very true. Might be slightly harder to carry considering Ontario has banned plastic bags for grocery stores. That's fact #102. I personally hate it because we use those bags for garbage later on. Now we have to buy more garbage bags so it really changes nothing from an environmental perspective.
@@soroosh82 it actually does change things from an environmental perspective, despite your anecdote. There are several studies that have examined the issue.
I live 5 minutes from where Céline Dion grew up. Little town called Charlemagne. Very poor family of 14 children. She was the baby. And yes she started in her french québécois language. She wanted to be a superstar, so at some point she learned English and stormed the U.S. market.
Céline is undoubtedly one of Canada's finest musical treasures. Her reputation lost some lustre for many of us, however, through no fault of her own. Her late husband effectively bullied Sony Music to block the already recorded breakout album and PBS concert by fellow Québec chanteuse Lara Fabian. Apparently, the man felt that Lara posed a threat to Céline's career. Musicians, like me, who love both great singers, continue to feel bad about this, over 20 yrs later. 😢
@t.a.k.palfrey3882 not to take away anything from Lara. She is amazing. But it's weird how she fell in love with Québec around that time. She is from Belgium. Must be a whole story behind , that we will never know about.
so, yes it's called a nickel (the one with the beaver on it) and our dime actually has a ship on it called the bluenose, which is why the Nova Scotians got that name...
The name for both comes from the fact that fishermen would wipe their noses with the backs of their gloves/mittens dyeing their noses blue most of the time.
Tyler I noticed as your channel grows there's a few more rude people on here. That happens with TH-camrs, just ignore them. They're clearly not understanding the concept that your American and you're here to learn about Canada. What a lot of people don't know is that you have other channels about other countries, so certainly you can't remember all the facts about Canada if you've covered it before. You must know a lot about all the countries you cover. My spouse and I really enjoy your channel. We like your dry sense of humor and we like your commentary. just keep doing what you're doing.
Get over yourself. "Celine Dion is Canadian?" Yeah, Tyler. A year ago he reacted to the top ten Canadian musicians and Dion was one of them. And yes, he had the same gobsmacked reaction back then. Face it, either he's not the sharpest tack or it's all a bad act.
@@lacteur1 Having a bad day, month, year? I've been following Tyler practically from the beginning and his reactions are genuine, sincere, respectful, and witty.

@@gailtrotman5256 LOL, living a naive life? Honesty offends you? youYou say you've been following Tyler practically from the beginning yet STILL fall for his phoniness. I'd tell you to put on your intelligent Canadian hat but you've obviously never owned one.

Canadian coins constantly release special images. Quarters, Loonies and Toonies have some pretty cool limited release image coins that many collectors look for. The Royal Canadian Mint has minted coins and printed bills for over 80 different countries around the world, many foreign countries with bills that look similar to ours are because we make them for them.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family, Tyler (from Ontario, Canada) 🌲🎁🎇. Thank you for all of your videos... I thoroughly enjoy watching and look forward to seeing your next videos!
16:55 WEM (West Edmonton Mall) is huge! An amusement park, full sized ice rink, a huge water park, 2 food courts, a section with sit down restaurants, 2 arcades, a bowling alley, 2 mini golf courses, a giant movie theatre, a dinner theatre, a lagoon with a full sized wooden ship, a hotel, an indoor go kart track, an aquarium, a liquor store and North America’s second largest pot dispensary. The mall has a huge security staff and its own police division. Expect to see K-9 units on patrol while visiting. Currently the city is expanding a light rail train (part of its transit system) to the mall. There isn’t much that you can’t buy at the mall. It would be impractical but you could theoretically live there and not have to leave the property.🤣
I was a kid in French immersion in NB, in the 80s. We had Celine played for us then, and she was still quite young herself. She's only 6 years older than me!
she's very big in France as well, where she performs primarily in French but wanted to make it big in the U.S. hence her switch to English at one point. Not a fan of Celine's but I wish her well.
Leslie Nielsen was also the star of the Naked Gun movies. He played serious roles in the early part of his career but always wanted to do comedy, and Airplane! finally freed him to do that. He mentioned being happy that Airplane! came along when it did because it saved him from having to accept grandfather roles.
Bagged milk isn't as readily available in all parts of Canada as it once was. We live in the west & used to buy it a lot but haven't seen it in the grocery store dairy section for years.
Milk is sold in bags in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes, I’ve heard that it could be approaching its expiry date. Part of the reason is changing consumer habits, sales of dairy products have declined by 20% since 2015.
Our everyday quarters have different images on them, but there are special edition quaters you can buy directly from the Mint. They do this with our other coins. I like to collect them 😅. I have Anne of Green Gables loonie.
2:00 yeah I don’t think you’ve seen how they are packaged in an actual grocery store. You’re gonna have to look it up. A bigger bag which tells you what type of milk is inside wraps around the 3 bags, each 1 litre 33.8 fl Oz, so it’s easier to carry and they’re tied up with those clip things that they usually tie bags of bread in. You know what I’m talking about the clip thing that you twist bread into I don’t know what they’re called. Don’t technically not even clips. They look like tags with the best before date on it.
The most famous ship in Canadian history, the Bluenose was both a fishing and racing vessel in the 1920s and 1930s. The Nova Scotia schooner achieved immortality when its image was engraved onto the Canadian dime. "Bluenose" is the most famous ship in Canadian history a working schooner and championship racer. In October 1921, Bluenose defeated seven other Nova Scotia schooners and qualified to challenge for the trophy. Later that month, she showed in her match against the American defender Elsie that she could carry sail and go to windward - and that she was fast. She won both races with ease and came home with the trophy.
We get 4 L of milk divided by three bags. The bags in the plastic container are much lighter and easier to handle than a 4 L jug would be. However, the 4 L jugs used to be available decades ago in certain Ontario stores and required a $.25 deposit which helped to ensure they would be returned and recycled.
By act of Congress, the official motto is actually “In God We Trust’” The motto was officially adopted by the 84th Congress on July 30, 1956, and signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It replaced the previous de facto official motto, "E pluribus unum". The 112th Congress (2011-2012) passed a resolution to reaffirm "In God We Trust" as the national motto and to encourage its public display in government institutions, public schools, and other public buildings.
I'm from Saint John New Brunswick where Moosehead Beer is made..... it is popular in eastern Canada and somewhat across the country..... and the United States imports a good amount of it. I bought a case of Mooshead in Wichita Kansas once when I was there on business......
@@suzannebadger8135 But it doesn't solve the mystery as to why Nova Scotians are called Bluenosers. Hint: nobody actually knows. There are a handful of theories, but no actual answer.
The worst thing about automobile/moose accidents is that because of the mooses' long legs, their (approximately) 600 lb body lines up perfectly with a vehicles' windshield often killing the front occupants.
West Edmonton mall is actually a vacation destination. It has a waterpark, a submarine ride, a theme hotel and an amusement park, not to mention the shopping and food venues. Its amazing and huge.
In my native language Cree the longest word I know is Kihci-kispakasakêwi-mistipwâmi-mahkitôni-nîswâpitêwi-atâmipêko-pimâtakâwi-kohkôs And all it means is hippopotamus 🦛 haha
@@personincognito3989 So? Does that make it any less Canadian? I looked up the etymology and got this: "early 17th century: from Canadian French, from an earlier form of Micmac qalipu, literally ‘snow-shoveller’ (because the caribou scrapes away snow to feed on the vegetation underneath)."
Milk bags. You buy 1 bag (4 Litres) and within that bag, there are 3 smaller bags of 1 Quart each. We still use them because it uses less plastic, cost less than buying cartons or jugs for the same amount, I find its better for storage in the fridge for the amount too. Justin Beiber... no one actually wants to claim him. Celine Dion is from Québec. She's a French Québécois. She started her career singing in French. First song I heard was the Dance dans ma tote on Musique Plus (Québec MTV). West Edmonton Mall has a water park in it. Never been, just heard about it. I think when it was built, they had the highest indoor water slide.
I don't know if this phrase is still used, my Grandfather used this saying for very cheap people.......'He squeezes the Nickle until the Beaver poops'. Merry Christmas everyone!! See you next year!
Tyler, you probably know more about Canada than 99% of your fellow Americans. Probably more than some Canadians too. Keep it up. Some of us enjoy the reactions you have to some of the simplest things to us. Outright hilarious sometimes. Thanks. I was with the security detail for Celine Dion when she released her first English album and made an appearance at Eatons in the Toronto Eaton Centre. English was not her strong suit which was why i was one of the team chosen as a French speaker as well. I just realized that was over 30 years ago and felt really old. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours Tyler.
Nova Scotians are called bluenosers but it is NOT because their nose turns blue from the cold ( false information) 🤦♀️. It is because a famous ship named The Bluenose was build in Lunenburg Nova Scotia in 1921. I also have never ever seen a glow in the dark dinosaur quarter.
2:25 I recall the evolution of milk containers in Ontario as far back as the 60's. Back then we bought it in returnable glass 1gal containers, then came 1 gal returnable plastic jugs. Naturally they were sterilized by the manufacturer before refilling. Returnable plastic jugs was a good concept but for one problem. People would sometimes use them for storing other chemicals, and then return them. In a few isolated cases people stored gasoline in them, rendering them useless on return. A few people received jugs of milk smelling of gas. Ugh. The jugs were abondoned for plastic bags, the rational being that plastic bags resulted in less plastic in landfill sites. Also, 3 bags = 4 litres of milk. I don't drink vast quantities of milk so I love the fact that I can freeze bags to extend the freshness. Once thawed, a good shake of the bag remixes the separated cream.
Hey! Merry Christmas from a proud Canadian to an American friend!! Love your videos and I’m happy you are displaying Canada with all its quirks and what we are known for and for what we are not known for. 🇨🇦
I live in Yellowknife which is the capitol of the NWT and its north of the 60th parallel so it's cooold in winter here for sure. And there are definitely people that live in the even more northern areas, a lot of Indigenous communities have lived there for thousands of years. And the moose one is definitely true, that's how my grandpa died 😅
The bagged milk seems to last much longer than cartoned milk before spoiling. I saw the thumbnail and just had to facepalm .... How does it work? It's not rocket science, you cut the corner off the bag and pour it same as you would a carton or jug
@personincognito3989 wow you took that way too personally. It was simply a simple explanation. Not like bags of milk haven't been HEAVILY featured and explained here before. Sorry you find a simple explanation to be "rude" instead of "informative". Maybe if you didn't understand the concept of it before you do now and I'm certainly not going to the extreme of calling anyone an idiot .... THAT would be rude
Caribou are a larger species that is the wild cousin of reindeer. They come (or came) in enormous migrating herds and sustain many large carnivores and subsidence hunters in the North.
Btw for 11:50 from to sea to sea is probably refering to the Pacific sea to Atlantic sea because it'S touching both of them but that's still just an Hypothesis
As far as I am aware, milk is not sold in bags anywhere west of Ontario, but people from Ontario do tend to think that all of Canada lives just like they do.
@pudlmaker great, but I'm commenting on the present, because the video uses language that implies it is currently still happening in the whole of Canada in the present
I’m originally from Calgary & it is a very beautiful & clean city. I live in Winnipeg now & we have the Canada Mint here where most of the world’s money is made. It’s actually a tourist attraction. We always get a cool new coin from time to time lol. Been to West Edmonton mall many times. It takes days to see it all. There’s rides, a water park, submarine rides, used to have dolphin & seal shows & a full side skating rink you can walk around while you’re shopping.
Céline Dion is a Quebecer from a little town named Charlemagne, located about 35kms north of Montréal ! She began is career - in french of course - around the age of 12 years old... She have done many albums in french, some here exclusively distributed in Québec, and also win's the contest Eurovision in 1988 (at 20 years old) with the song "Ne Partez pas sans moi", while she was representing Switzerland for the occasion... She began to sing in english in the years 1990...
Canadian quarter's are almost all Caribou (You can know if winter tires are still good with them: pop that Caribou head in the thread and if you see the nose bad things can happen) Few exception to mention are bi-centennial year quarter, Olympic quarter, and 1992 quarter series (all provinces and territories) The Canadian mint stamps them and other novelties (limited run) as a tribute or collector's item! We have a coin that double's as a sun dial (I know my wife bought it)
Very fun little series. Please people use the link in the description to go like the original video as they deserve it for makimg such a fun initial video!!
James Cameron who wrote and directed Titanic (Avatar, the Terminator Movies, etc.) and is now a deep ocean explorer, was from Chippawa Ontario (near Niagara Falls) and went to school with my cousin. He used the name "Chippawa Falls" as Dawson's home town as a tribute to the town. Yes, freshwater, as in no salt. Wasaga Beach is on Lake Huron. The Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta has an amazing world renowned collection of dinosaur fossils. It is estimated 13% of Americans were not born in the US. One moose accident is bad enough as you could possibly die.
Milk is sold in bags because when Canada changed to the metric system, the dairies decided that plastic bags was the cheapest way to switch. Nova Scotians are bluenosers because the ship the Bluenose is from there. It is still the world's fastest commercial fishing schooner. This is because everyone switched to motors at the time it was being built. It is one of the last commercial fishing schooners ever built.
In Ontario, milk started being offered in bags because Ontario required a deposit on plastic jugs. In the late sixies, jugs changed from glass to plastic. The problem with plastic is that it can't be cleaned of chemicals the way glass can, thus people were getting sick if the previous purchaser had stored gas or antifreeze in the jug prior to returning for a refund. Bags were originally 3 pouches 1qt each. In the mid eights, bags went metric and are now 3 pouches 1.33litres each. An imperial quart is 1.14litres while a US quart is .907litres.
Canadian here! I live in the middle of two Great Lakes. Lake Superior and Lake Huron connected by the st Mary’s River. In Sault Ste. Marie. We share both of those lakes with America. On the other side of the river is Michigan.
Not many places I have seen in Canada have much for garbage. Most of the places I've been to the people clean up after them self and instead of just throwing stuff we hold on to it till we get to a garbage can. (Mainly because we feel guilty making a clean street messy)
LMAO - my youngest daughter, then about 7 yrs old, and I were walking down Main St in Brampton, Ontario. suddenly, she saw a 7-11 slushie cup lying on the ground and went into a full-blown rant: "LOOK AT THAT!!!!!! [arms extended dramatically toward the offending object] WHAT A MESS!!!!!!! WHO DID THIS!!!??? WHO EVEN DOES THIS!!!????" A young man in a three-piece suit happened to be walking past and literally jumped back when she sounded off. He stared at her warily, then slowly picked it up and put it in the garbage can, then continued on his way with only a couple of cautious backward glances as she yelled "THANK YOU, NICE STRANGE MAN!"
Caribou is a large reindeer but also an alcoholic drink. Some Canadian facts: Quebec is about twice the size of Texas. 20% of Canadians speak French at home. 20% of Quebecers speak English at home. Canada invented Lacrosse, Football and the telephone. Hockey was invented in Finland. Basketball was invented by a Canadian Harvard professor by throwing discarded exam papers balled up into a waste basket. He and some students took the idea to the gymnasium with a plywood backboard a volleyball and a peach basket. The original name was 'Peach' Basketball. For the first two years, every time someone scored, somebody climbed a ladder to retrieve the ball. Then they cut the bottom off.

Fun fact that just happened in Canada a week ago. Terry Fox will be on our $5 bills. 👏👏❤🦊
That's great! I hope it is another sideways bill. I like the way those look.
The edges of our coins are textured different as well to aid identifying them.
Our milk is in bags for a few reasons. One, it stays fresh longer because you're only opening one small amount at one time instead of the entire gallon. Also, they bags are easier to store, taking up less space in your fridge or freezer. They take up less space in land fills, and are easier to recycle. Bags are the superior container.
It amazes me when west coasters argue against bags. They’re just superior in every way. They should be mad that they got rid of them.
Only better way would be like the old days in a reusable glass container.

The Bluenose is also the name of a schooner, a sailboat, (Schooner is also a beer and a pub in Calgary.)
Yes, after seeing Part III, I watched the original 101 facts, and noticed they missed mentioning the Bluenose when talking about the word as a nickname for Nova Scotians. The Bluenose appears on Canada's 10 cent piece, and that's because it won the International Fishermen's Trophy against competition from the U.S..
It's a very famous racing schooner too.
Bluenose is the ship on the Canadian dime is it not?
@@ryangurney8611 which brings his question about whether we go to the trouble of calling the nickle a 5cent piece even worse... yes, it's on there.
LOL
"Because our Noses are blue from the cold climate" LOL
I hope that was just a joke, if not then Tyler needs to find someone who actually does research and not just guessing.
Look at the Dime for god sake
Caribou are what reindeer are called in North America, and can be found in huge herds throughout much of Canada's arctic and Alaska. One is depicted on our 25 cent coin, and yes, we use the terms quarter, dime, nickel, and penny (when we still had them).
I still have pennies. Not a clue what to do with them!
Caribou and reindeer are not the same thing. Reindeer have shorter legs, and cannot survive in a wild herd.
Reindeer are to Caribou what Dogs are to Wolves
@@kerrijill7442tell that to the herd of wild reindeer (approximately 22 000 of them) living on the Svalbard archipelago. They didn’t get the memo that they can’t survive in wild herds.
Caribou(indigenous name)are wild. The same animal , when domesticated are then called reindeer- so Santa has reindeer, petting zoos - reindeer, the indigenous SAMI people ( appear similar clothing and some culture, but distinct to the Inuit) of Scandinavia, who actually herd and raise/ utilize and are integral to their lives - reindeer!
@@kerrijill7442 There absolutely are wild Eurasian reindeer.
From Wikipedia:
In Eurasia, both wild and domestic reindeer are distributed across the tundra and into the taiga. Eurasian mountain reindeer (R. t. tarandus) are close to North American caribou genetically and visually, but with sufficient differences to warrant division into two species. The unique, insular Svalbard reindeer inhabits the Svalbard Archipelago. The Finnish forest reindeer (R. t. fennicus) is spottily distributed in the coniferous forest zones from Finland to east of Lake Baikal: the Siberian forest reindeer (R. t. valentinae, formerly called the Busk Mountains reindeer (R. t. buskensis) by American taxonomists) occupies the Altai and Ural Mountains.
Just saw the thumbnail and had to comment. My 42 year old son picked up some groceries for me as I've been sick for a few days. He even refilled the jug and left the corner of the bag in the drawer with the scissors.🤣🇨🇦
😂😂😂 that’s what we do 😜
Can I ask what province you live in? I live in Alberta and haven’t seen milk in a bag since I was a kid. I wish we could still get it that way
I'm in Quebec i know they still have those bags in groceries and Walmart but i never saw anyone buying it and last time i saw those bags i was a kid in the late 80s early 90s or something like that.
I live in BC it's been decades since I've seen a bag of milk lol
In Ontario we have bag milk and cartons and jugs
Definitely do a video of the West Edmonton Mall. It has a skating rink, a water park, a submarine, etc., etc., etc. not to mention a lot of stores/restaurants and a hotel attached to it.
I thought he did already?
Pretty sure he already has
The video is called “American Reacts to the 10 best things in Edmonton” 😊
I'm starting to think Tyler has a short memory. I remember him doing a video with the mall and commenting on the roller coaster.
He did! He was blown away. Lol
You should goolge the glass floor at the CN Tower. It's terrifying
The rotating restaurant makes me queezy
It takes 1.5 hours for one revolution. So you do not feel the movement.

I walked my sister out onto it while blabbing away and keeping eye contact. Then stopping in the middle of the glass, I casually looked downward. Then she looked down, followed by a scream. It was glorious.
Caribou is actually another name for reindeer. Don't forget, Santa Claus is Canadian.😂😂😂
His postal code is H0H 0H0! Proof!
Reindeer is actually the name given to domesticated caribou.
Caribou is another name for reindeer
*Caribou are wild reindeer. Reindeer are domesticated Caribou.

Caribou is the French name. It's also an alcoholic drink we make at home in Québec with red wine , 40 proof alcohol and brown sugar.😊
People from Nova Scotia are called Blue Nosers because of the Schooner ( The Blue Nose) amazing racing schooner.
It seen on our dimes
You have that backwards. The schooner is named after the fisherman of Nova Scotia who were known as blue nosers due to the blue dye used in the gloves or mittens they wore that would get on their noses when they were working.

Ice wine ain't so random. Like maple syrup, Canada is internationally renowned for the production of exceptional ice wine. Expensive, but worth trying once in a while.
Ice wine is not like regular wine. It is more like a liquor. It is very, very thick and very, very sweet.
And has won awards
@@jenniferlindsey2015 Its a dessert wine. And not surprising that its sweeter since like the other dessert wines (the ones with the fungus, aka noble rot) since the ice ends up removing quite a large amount of the water content.
Americans in California froze up some grapes to copy it, well the results where different than the one on the three.
Ice wine is amazing. I call it hheaven in a bottle. Paired with a raspberry white chocolate cake is to die for.
Apparently it is cheaper to produce milk in bags than the cartons. I googled it lol
We are called 'blue nosers' because of the famous Blue Nose schooner that was built in Nova Scotia.
The first recorded use of the term 'bluenose" was in 1785. The famous ship was named after the people not the other way around.
also, tyler it is the ship that is on our 10cents
May u have the best Christmas Tyler for this wonderful Content of yours ❤
After experience using both a gallon jug and our bags, I hate buying milk in jugs. It's super convenient just to not have to hold up a massive jug of milk to pour that first spoonful for your coffee. They're also way easier to store. It's SO much more convenient.
I agree and the bags freeze really well too. When I find a good sale on milk I'll buy 3 bags ( 3 bags in one ) and freeze them. They lay flat and stack well on freezer shelf. I could never do that with a jug.
Solution. Use cream instead. :)
@@kontiuka Cream cost more and the containers aren't as large so would need to buy more, plus cream has a lot more fat. If you've never experienced milk in bags then you would never understand.
@@kontiuka ew, read the ingredients. You're barely using a milk product. I only buy single (or minimal) ingredient dairy.
Sorry your so weak you can't pick up a jug of milk out west we have 2&4 litre jugs and 1&2litre carton as for convenience it's easier to just remove it lid and then replace it su you don't have every smell and taste in the fridge
I live about an hour from Wasaga beach and it's AMAZING!!! You can walk out for a long while before you need to actually swim, and the water is warm and clear most days.The only problem is overcrowding because it's a popular tourist spot to cool off in the summer.

The glow in the dark coin is a collector edition coin. The Canadian mint issues different collector coins throughout the year that you can purchase at the post office. No-one actually uses them for currency, although they would be accepted if you chose to spend one.

Niagara’s ice wine is very well known all over the world. They have to wait until the weather is -8C for at least 24 hrs. They squash the frozen grapes while they harvest them so the ice wine is the sweetest. This usually occurs in the middle of the night.
If you ever see a moose on the road you do whatever it takes to avoid hitting it. They are huge, but they have very long, skinny legs, so unless you're driving an 18-wheeler, the big heavy body and those antlers are going to come right through your windshield if you hit one. Few people survive that sort of encounter.
I have a friend who survived hitting one on a motorcycle! He's still recuperating five years later.
Fun fact: He was lying in a ditch unconscious, out of site from the highway in the dark, when a motorist spotted his bike. Turns out she was a nurse and saved his life!
Moose don't go through a car's windshield. If a car hits a moose the moose will roll right over the car's roof. Moose are so much bigger than cars and SUVs
@@kerrijill7442 Sorry, your information is not accurate. I live in Alberta and have driven through Moose Row for years. Moose most definitely do go through windshields and have killed a lot of motorists. We always try to have an alert passenger or two watching for the moose if we have to drive that stretch.
I had a friend (who has sadly passed away for other reasons) who survived hitting a moose with his car TWICE. And he was driving one of those little semi-sports cars both times! He got away with scratches and scrapes, the moose got up and walked off pretty much unhurt, and the car was TOTALED both times (front end completely caved in. He was lucky he didn't wind up with the engine in his lap the second time)!
Santa Claus is a much more famous Canadian than Justin Bieber. The largest nickel coin in Canada resides in Sudbury Ontario.
Stainless steel nickel statue lol. There used to be more coins beside it back in the day
And it will still be the same 0.05 cents
I didn't know that there were more coins besides the the big nickel lol! I live in Sudbury and I just learned something new.
@lisaburke1150 there was a big penny and also a few commemorative coins. I believe there were 6 or 7 altogether. The penny was there longer than the rest. But down to just the nickel in the 80s. I'm not sure how long the others lasted. But as far as I know, they were all up in the 60s.
@@CobaltOntarioadventures I see. Thanks.
I prefer milk in bags for a very good reason. Having severely arthritic hands, there is no way I could pry open a carton or twist off a plastic lid. The bags only require a little snip with scissors. So much easier. 👍
and, if scissors are or become too much, there are square tools with a blade inside a cut corner that if you run the corner of the bag through it, it slices clean off. I think they are called Snip-its???
milk in bags is a specific to eastern canada thing -- here in western/mid western canada we dont do the bagged milk thing (but its done that way because of costs related to producing plastic jugs and cartons -- its also lighter to transport
The west used to have bagged milk. When Canada was switching to the metric system decades ago, Safeway iirc, (an American company) the largest grocery store chain in the west, didn’t want to pay the cost of milk manufacturers refitting to the 4L metric configuration and put the kibosh on it.
Americans demanded and the west capitulated. 🤷♀️
Most of the Canadian population have access to bagged milk. Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime provinces. Newfoundland used to have it but I’m not sure if they still do.
It’s more environmentally friendly as well. ✌️
@sinswhisper9588 I only remember seeing bagged milk as a kid and it was only those people that had milk delivered. Houses in the neighborhood had a small door beside the backdoor for that purpose. I don't know anyone who has milk delivered anymore.
@@gastronomist Ya, we had bagged milk in Alberta. Yes it was delivered to us out in the country.

Caribou are also known as Reindeer
It's also an alcoholic beverage in Quebec - Canadian whiskey plus red wine & maple syrup.
Actually if it's wild, it's a caribou, if it's domestic, it's a reindeer!
Hitting a moose is often fatal and at the very least destroys your vehicle. It's like hitting a bison, or brick wall.
Absolutely
My uncle (by marriage) had a cousin who ran into a moose with her car. She’s in a wheelchair now. Broke her back in the accident. But at least she lived.
In Science class back in high school, we tried to figure out if the driver of an F1 car could survive a crash with a moose.
The theory was the car would sweep out the moose's legs, passing underneath it's torso and most of the animal's mass.
Using Google, we found out that the average moose's chest can be about 35 inches of the ground. An F1 car can be about 35 inches tall.
I think the class decided we'd be better off hitting the moose than a deer in an F1 car that is 35 inches tall, but it still wasn't a great outcome (big surprise)
@@nerddwarf F1 cars blow apart in a collision. I wouldn't try it to find out.
not at all like hitting a bison or a brick wall. it's like hitting a giant leather bag full of rebar.
Milk comes in 4L bags of 3 smaller bags inside. It is easier to transport, keep cold, longer expiration date (i think), takes up less space and prevents the need to buy it as often (4L vs. 2L or 1L cartons). We generally have two plastic milk containers in my house (a blue one and a white one), blue for milk and white for either chocolate milk or homogenized milk. I personally find it more convenient, less susceptible to being drank from the bag/carton and you can see the product and its state through the clear plastic to know if its still in good condition. We have carton milk here too. But, I prefer the bagged milk. Thank you for your honest and hilarious show.
If you keep it up, you may end up wanting to move here. Lol. I've only recently started watching your videos but I just cant get enough of them. It's a nice break from the majority of war content I normal watch. I am so sorry for the future of the US...... Umm, time will clarify this last comment.
God bless and please stay safe!
One thing about jugs or cartons is that they are, theoretically, recyclable. At least in my city. Bags usually end up in the trash.
You could just buy 4 x 1L carton so no difference...
@@IzzyOnTheMove very true. Might be slightly harder to carry considering Ontario has banned plastic bags for grocery stores. That's fact #102. I personally hate it because we use those bags for garbage later on. Now we have to buy more garbage bags so it really changes nothing from an environmental perspective.
Milk cartons are lined with plastic. Other than waste there isn't much difference.
@@soroosh82 it actually does change things from an environmental perspective, despite your anecdote. There are several studies that have examined the issue.

I live 5 minutes from where Céline Dion grew up. Little town called Charlemagne. Very poor family of 14 children. She was the baby. And yes she started in her french québécois language. She wanted to be a superstar, so at some point she learned English and stormed the U.S. market.
Céline is undoubtedly one of Canada's finest musical treasures. Her reputation lost some lustre for many of us, however, through no fault of her own. Her late husband effectively bullied Sony Music to block the already recorded breakout album and PBS concert by fellow Québec chanteuse Lara Fabian. Apparently, the man felt that Lara posed a threat to Céline's career. Musicians, like me, who love both great singers, continue to feel bad about this, over 20 yrs later. 😢
@t.a.k.palfrey3882 not to take away anything from Lara. She is amazing. But it's weird how she fell in love with Québec around that time. She is from Belgium. Must be a whole story behind , that we will never know about.
so, yes it's called a nickel (the one with the beaver on it) and our dime actually has a ship on it called the bluenose, which is why the Nova Scotians got that name...
The nickname predates the schooner by a couple hundred years. First used in 1785 iirc It was the other way around if anything. 😊
The name for both comes from the fact that fishermen would wipe their noses with the backs of their gloves/mittens dyeing their noses blue most of the time.
Tyler I noticed as your channel grows there's a few more rude people on here. That happens with TH-camrs, just ignore them. They're clearly not understanding the concept that your American and you're here to learn about Canada.

The bagged milk always hit me. Less plastic is used to manufacture them, and we buy a 3 pouch bag, which is 4L in total.

Canadian coins constantly release special images. Quarters, Loonies and Toonies have some pretty cool limited release image coins that many collectors look for.

Bagged milk does not exist in "Most" of Canada as was proclaimed in this video.
Celine Dion started her career in Quebec doing only french songs.
“Has Céline Dion actually done songs in French?!” Lol
I was a kid in French immersion in NB, in the 80s. We had Celine played for us then, and she was still quite young herself. She's only 6 years older than me!
She's French Canadian, duh
she's very big in France as well, where she performs primarily in French but wanted to make it big in the U.S. hence her switch to English at one point. Not a fan of Celine's but I wish her well.
Leslie Nielsen was also the star of the Naked Gun movies. He played serious roles in the early part of his career but always wanted to do comedy, and Airplane! finally freed him to do that. He mentioned being happy that Airplane! came along when it did because it saved him from having to accept grandfather roles.
Bagged milk isn't as readily available in all parts of Canada as it once was. We live in the west & used to buy it a lot but haven't seen it in the grocery store dairy section for years.
Milk is sold in bags in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes, I’ve heard that it could be approaching its expiry date. Part of the reason is changing consumer habits, sales of dairy products have declined by 20% since 2015.
Our everyday quarters have different images on them, but there are special edition quaters you can buy directly from the Mint. They do this with our other coins. I like to collect them 😅. I have Anne of Green Gables loonie.
2:00 yeah I don’t think you’ve seen how they are packaged in an actual grocery store. You’re gonna have to look it up. A bigger bag which tells you what type of milk is inside wraps around the 3 bags, each 1 litre 33.8 fl Oz, so it’s easier to carry and they’re tied up with those clip things that they usually tie bags of bread in. You know what I’m talking about the clip thing that you twist bread into I don’t know what they’re called. Don’t technically not even clips. They look like tags with the best before date on it.
Thanks for all the great videos, a Merry Christmas to you and yours, Tyler !!
The most famous ship in Canadian history, the Bluenose was both a fishing and racing vessel in the 1920s and 1930s. The Nova Scotia schooner achieved immortality when its image was engraved onto the Canadian dime. "Bluenose" is the most famous ship in Canadian history a working schooner and championship racer. In October 1921, Bluenose defeated seven other Nova Scotia schooners and qualified to challenge for the trophy. Later that month, she showed in her match against the American defender Elsie that she could carry sail and go to windward - and that she was fast. She won both races with ease and came home with the trophy.
Thank you for this
She used to be on the old silver dimes.
We get 4 L of milk divided by three bags. The bags in the plastic container are much lighter and easier to handle than a 4 L jug would be. However, the 4 L jugs used to be available decades ago in certain Ontario stores and required a $.25 deposit which helped to ensure they would be returned and recycled.
The jugs are still available in the Maritimes
I buy the jugs at Seven Eleven in Toronto.
Dion had THE defining moment of the Paris Olympics when she delivered a tour de force performance, in French of course.

By act of Congress, the official motto is actually “In God We Trust’” The motto was officially adopted by the 84th Congress on July 30, 1956, and signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It replaced the previous de facto official motto, "E pluribus unum".
The 112th Congress (2011-2012) passed a resolution to reaffirm "In God We Trust" as the national motto and to encourage its public display in government institutions, public schools, and other public buildings.

Yeah, they also pronounce her last name wrong, like most english speaker. Its "Dion" not "Dionne"
The Blue Noser are called that because of a very famous sailing ship The Blue Nose. I think Tyler did it on a Heritage minute.
Its also featured on our 10 cent coin.
Other way around. It's called the Bluenose because it was built in Nova Scotia, home of the bluenosers.
@ I knew it involved The Bluenose 😂
@@suzannebadger8135 But it doesn't solve the mystery as to why Nova Scotians are called Bluenosers. Hint: nobody actually knows. There are a handful of theories, but no actual answer.
The worst thing about automobile/moose accidents is that because of the mooses' long legs, their (approximately) 600 lb body lines up perfectly with a vehicles' windshield often killing the front occupants.

7:00 Caribou is Canadian for reindeer.
Lmao Canadian ?
Know most people worldwide call them Caribou or reindeer it's not specific to Canada
@@personincognito3989 So? Does that make it any less Canadian? I looked up the etymology and got this:
"early 17th century: from Canadian French, from an earlier form of Micmac qalipu, literally ‘snow-shoveller’ (because the caribou scrapes away snow to feed on the vegetation underneath)."
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 Yes, Canadian English is a thing. My spell check says so.
@@personincognito3989 It doesn't matter if people worldwide call them caribou. The NAME "caribou" originated in Canada.
Milk bags. You buy 1 bag (4 Litres) and within that bag, there are 3 smaller bags of 1 Quart each. We still use them because it uses less plastic, cost less than buying cartons or jugs for the same amount, I find its better for storage in the fridge for the amount too.
Justin Beiber... no one actually wants to claim him.
Celine Dion is from Québec. She's a French Québécois. She started her career singing in French. First song I heard was the Dance dans ma tote on Musique Plus (Québec MTV).
West Edmonton Mall has a water park in it. Never been, just heard about it. I think when it was built, they had the highest indoor water slide.

It used to be. We had bags in the 70's in Alberta at least, delivered by a milkman.
You don't know what you're missing!
Two thirds of Canada's population live in the provinces where bagged milk is available. So yes, it's a Canadian thing.
Tyler, you probably know more about Canada than 99% of your fellow Americans. Probably more than some Canadians too. Keep it up. Some of us enjoy the reactions you have to some of the simplest things to us. Outright hilarious sometimes. Thanks.
I was with the security detail for Celine Dion when she released her first English album and made an appearance at Eatons in the Toronto Eaton Centre. English was not her strong suit which was why i was one of the team chosen as a French speaker as well. I just realized that was over 30 years ago and felt really old.
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours Tyler.
Nova Scotians are called bluenosers but it is NOT because their nose turns blue from the cold ( false information) 🤦♀️. It is because a famous ship named The Bluenose was build in Lunenburg Nova Scotia in 1921.
I also have never ever seen a glow in the dark dinosaur quarter.
More false information. Nova Scotians have been known as bluenosers since the late 18th century. The schooner was named after them.
2:25 I recall the evolution of milk containers in Ontario as far back as the 60's. Back then we bought it in returnable glass 1gal containers, then came 1 gal returnable plastic jugs. Naturally they were sterilized by the manufacturer before refilling. Returnable plastic jugs was a good concept but for one problem. People would sometimes use them for storing other chemicals, and then return them. In a few isolated cases people stored gasoline in them, rendering them useless on return. A few people received jugs of milk smelling of gas. Ugh.
The jugs were abondoned for plastic bags, the rational being that plastic bags resulted in less plastic in landfill sites.
Also, 3 bags = 4 litres of milk. I don't drink vast quantities of milk so I love the fact that I can freeze bags to extend the freshness. Once thawed, a good shake of the bag remixes the separated cream.
Most lakes don't have salt, oceans (seas) have salt..
Hey! Merry Christmas from a proud Canadian to an American friend!! Love your videos and I’m happy you are displaying Canada with all its quirks and what we are known for and for what we are not known for. 🇨🇦
If you ever heard her speak you would know she wasn't American
I live in Yellowknife which is the capitol of the NWT and its north of the 60th parallel so it's cooold in winter here for sure. And there are definitely people that live in the even more northern areas, a lot of Indigenous communities have lived there for thousands of years.
And the moose one is definitely true, that's how my grandpa died 😅
The bagged milk seems to last much longer than cartoned milk before spoiling. I saw the thumbnail and just had to facepalm .... How does it work? It's not rocket science, you cut the corner off the bag and pour it same as you would a carton or jug
No need to be rude. If you've never seen it done you wouldn't know
@personincognito3989 wow you took that way too personally. It was simply a simple explanation. Not like bags of milk haven't been HEAVILY featured and explained here before. Sorry you find a simple explanation to be "rude" instead of "informative". Maybe if you didn't understand the concept of it before you do now and I'm certainly not going to the extreme of calling anyone an idiot .... THAT would be rude
Caribou are a larger species that is the wild cousin of reindeer. They come (or came) in enormous migrating herds and sustain many large carnivores and subsidence hunters in the North.
a caribou is another name for reindeer.
Btw for 11:50 from to sea to sea is probably refering to the Pacific sea to Atlantic sea because it'S touching both of them but that's still just an Hypothesis
As far as I am aware, milk is not sold in bags anywhere west of Ontario, but people from Ontario do tend to think that all of Canada lives just like they do.
It used to be. We had bags in the 70's in Alberta at least, delivered by a milkman.
@pudlmaker great, but I'm commenting on the present, because the video uses language that implies it is currently still happening in the whole of Canada in the present
@@L_Fleury 1 you would be correct, just wanted you to know that 2 It was across Canada. Sounded like you were unaware of that. ;)
I’m originally from Calgary & it is a very beautiful & clean city.
I live in Winnipeg now & we have the Canada Mint here where most of the world’s money is made. It’s actually a tourist attraction.
We always get a cool new coin from time to time lol.
Been to West Edmonton mall many times. It takes days to see it all. There’s rides, a water park, submarine rides, used to have dolphin & seal shows & a full side skating rink you can walk around while you’re shopping.
Céline Dion is a Quebecer from a little town named Charlemagne, located about 35kms north of Montréal !
She began is career - in french of course - around the age of 12 years old... She have done many albums in french, some here exclusively distributed in Québec, and also win's the contest Eurovision in 1988 (at 20 years old) with the song "Ne Partez pas sans moi", while she was representing Switzerland for the occasion...
She began to sing in english in the years 1990...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family Tyler! From the centre of Canada - Winnipeg, Manitoba!
It’s worth noting that bagged milk is sold in
parts of the United States (such as Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa)
someone from there post up
Canadian quarter's are almost all Caribou (You can know if winter tires are still good with them: pop that Caribou head in the thread and if you see the nose bad things can happen)
Few exception to mention are bi-centennial year quarter, Olympic quarter, and 1992 quarter series (all provinces and territories)
The Canadian mint stamps them and other novelties (limited run) as a tribute or collector's item!
We have a coin that double's as a sun dial (I know my wife bought it)
Very fun little series. Please people use the link in the description to go like the original video as they deserve it for makimg such a fun initial video!!
James Cameron who wrote and directed Titanic (Avatar, the Terminator Movies, etc.) and is now a deep ocean explorer, was from Chippawa Ontario (near Niagara Falls) and went to school with my cousin. He used the name "Chippawa Falls" as Dawson's home town as a tribute to the town.
Yes, freshwater, as in no salt. Wasaga Beach is on Lake Huron.
The Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta has an amazing world renowned collection of dinosaur fossils.
It is estimated 13% of Americans were not born in the US.
One moose accident is bad enough as you could possibly die.
Is there really a quarter with a glow in the dark dinosaur? I’ve never seen one and if they exist I must get one!
I suppose Wasaga is sort of on Lake Huron but technically it's Georgian Bay.
@@christinec1928 - Yup. Georgian Bay is part of Huron.
love the fact that you keep doing these.tyler. most americans know jack squat about us. we r a unique bunch.
Merry Christmas Tyler!
Thank you. Same to you!🎄
Wasaga Beach is at the eastern end of Lake Ontario in Prince Edward County. It’s white sand powder and absolutely gorgeous.
Milk is sold in bags because when Canada changed to the metric system, the dairies decided that plastic bags was the cheapest way to switch.
Nova Scotians are bluenosers because the ship the Bluenose is from there. It is still the world's fastest commercial fishing schooner. This is because everyone switched to motors at the time it was being built. It is one of the last commercial fishing schooners ever built.
In Ontario, milk started being offered in bags because Ontario required a deposit on plastic jugs. In the late sixies, jugs changed from glass to plastic. The problem with plastic is that it can't be cleaned of chemicals the way glass can, thus people were getting sick if the previous purchaser had stored gas or antifreeze in the jug prior to returning for a refund.
Bags were originally 3 pouches 1qt each. In the mid eights, bags went metric and are now 3 pouches 1.33litres each. An imperial quart is 1.14litres while a US quart is .907litres.
Canadian here! I live in the middle of two Great Lakes. Lake Superior and Lake Huron connected by the st Mary’s River. In Sault Ste. Marie. We share both of those lakes with America. On the other side of the river is Michigan.
Not many places I have seen in Canada have much for garbage. Most of the places I've been to the people clean up after them self and instead of just throwing stuff we hold on to it till we get to a garbage can. (Mainly because we feel guilty making a clean street messy)
LMAO - my youngest daughter, then about 7 yrs old, and I were walking down Main St in Brampton, Ontario. suddenly, she saw a 7-11 slushie cup lying on the ground and went into a full-blown rant: "LOOK AT THAT!!!!!! [arms extended dramatically toward the offending object] WHAT A MESS!!!!!!! WHO DID THIS!!!??? WHO EVEN DOES THIS!!!????"
A young man in a three-piece suit happened to be walking past and literally jumped back when she sounded off. He stared at her warily, then slowly picked it up and put it in the garbage can, then continued on his way with only a couple of cautious backward glances as she yelled "THANK YOU, NICE STRANGE MAN!"
Caribou is a large reindeer but also an alcoholic drink. Some Canadian facts: Quebec is about twice the size of Texas. 20% of Canadians speak French at home. 20% of Quebecers speak English at home. Canada invented Lacrosse, Football and the telephone. Hockey was invented in Finland. Basketball was invented by a Canadian Harvard professor by throwing discarded exam papers balled up into a waste basket. He and some students took the idea to the gymnasium with a plywood backboard a volleyball and a peach basket. The original name was 'Peach' Basketball. For the first two years, every time someone scored, somebody climbed a ladder to retrieve the ball. Then they cut the bottom off.
