Give us a like for my efforts ey? Finland next.
Im from Finland!
Yasss
I was just about to say Finland and happened to scroll down to this comment
eh, you gave it a good shot b'y.
It's 'eh' bud not 'ey' but appreciate ye taking a peek at our wee country eh
It's funny to me that geowizard knows the Nova Scotia flag but isn't familiar with the term Atlantic Canada.
Well, the flag of Nova Scotia does make use of the Saint Andrew's Cross. Which is the same on the flag of Scotland. So you can kind of guess it. Especially if you're from the UK.
It looks incredibly scottish and he just put two and two together.
i mean i’ve lived in ontario my whole life and i just recently learned abt it while i know all flags
@@focusx2681 Same here
what is Atlantic Canada anyways??????????????
*sign for Thunder Bay Public Library takes up nearly the entire screen*
"All we need is a sign"
Thought the same when he missed the Nova Scotia flag in the beginning. I felt like screaming at my screen.
It's funny the street name made me know immediately were it was. I live in tbay lol
buddyspeck I guessed it was Ontario by looking at gas prices xd
@@gordanblansky7137 lol. We have some of the highest prices in Ontario
@@gordanblansky7137 Lol yah I was thinking Winnipeg first cause they got a Red River Rd which is basically a highway as well, but then I saw the gas prices and I was like that's just not realistic.
Just by reading these comments, I know I'm am not the only Canadian watching.
Same here :D
I went to the school in location #2 lol
Yeah bud
@@Call0fdutyfan now I can track you down m8 ur fooked
Ditto! Eh!
As a Canadian, it was very interesting to watch someone who doesn't know the context of the street/place names! Atlantic Canada is generally the Maritime provinces. The Algonquin are a Canadian First Nations people, and the Red River is a river in Manitoba but also refers to the Red River Settlement of Métis people (another aboriginal group - for non-Canadians). "Thunder Bay is near Toronto" was hilarious, and the French in Quebec immediately jumped out. We also tend to have both English and French on many things, including school buses. "RGE" is Range Road, not Ridge Road. The "marks" on the road are actually filled-in cracks caused by the cold weather. When you asked if Peace River was a place, I actually shouted "Yes!" out loud - it is where some of my family is from, my dad actually grew up right in that area by Peace River on a farm. And as many people have mentioned, we have 10 provinces and 3 territories, NOT states!
Hope that my little notes were interesting :)
Ikr it’s great to see someone foreign trying to figure out where he is in the country, I’m Nova Scotian and have driven by Economy before so it’s really cool that he landed there
Had to laugh too when he saw the Maritime Ontario trailer and just read the Ontario point. Before quickly seeing the NB highway post.
"Atlantic Canada" also includes Nfld and Labrador
hey man, i'm in BC. Thunder Bay *is* near Toronto when you're this far away from both of them :D
Also loved seeing a huge LCBO sign and then immediately hearing him say "A state would be nice"
I love how he keeps callin em “States”. No disrespect brother, but over here we’ve got 10 provinces, and then the big 3 up top are territories
But we don't talk about the territories.
@@lukebowlby3848 we do when we are trying to boast about how much land we have.... otherwise nah.
Luke Bowlby which is sad for all 6 people that live up there
Fair, but when you know what Nova Scotia’s flag is out of the blue when your foreign you can make that mistake. It must be so hard to keep track of the proper terminology for each country.
@@lukebowlby3848 :( we're part of canada too
*Calls provinces states*
Canada: Am I a joke to you
Yes
As a Canadian it makes me really angry
@@yeetmcyeetalot5979 hmm had no idea canadians could get angry. You sure it's not just pretend angry?
@@rasmusthygesen73 when I say angry it means I want some maple syrup
@@yeetmcyeetalot5979 🤣
the way he says Algonquin just messes with my mind
11_ben_11 ikr
All gone kin
"Algonquin" kinda sound french! hahah yes it's french interpretation of a Native term
Wasn't that Obi Wan's master?

Great vid. A little tip for Canada: if you ever see a sign for "The Beer Store" or the "LCBO", you are in Ontario. Both are Ontario government-owned alcohol stores. You can buy alcohol in grocery stores or whatever, but there are no dedicated liquor stores in the province except The Beer Store and LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario). Both stores are very likely to be in most Ontario cities (even fairly small ones) so it is a good thing to look out for in Canada.
the beer store is actually privately owned which is criminal in my opinion
NSLC in nova scotia
NSLC for Nova Scotia
Manitoba has a few french towns too.
From sk. When he said "if only we had a great big sign." I laughed pretty good. Cool video
As a Canadian I could practically instantly tell the province by the type of houses or at least the stores. Pretty cool how you can know things about places you've never been
So worried about being in a park lot, but missing the big sign that said Thunderbay Public Library, lol.
Anyone else notice Daveluyville when he closed the map and continued scrolling
12:25
"It's right there, STOP! You're so Close!
12:34
/Facepalm
Also 20:17 "Alma" which he was looking for is onscreen for like 30 seconds
Yeah
So frustrating😭😂
Or when he went from road 259 to 267, with the N/S roads south of the Saint-Laurence all beginning with a 2 and conveniently increasing from west to east XD
Really sad he didn’t notice the “Arrete” signs in Quebec
same... first thing I noticed haha
I was almost shouting at the screen for that.
Also it says "rue" and "4eme" which are obviously not english
If you see a sign in french in Canada, you're almost always in Quebec, eastern Ontario, or North/West New Brunswick.
Ya
My heart skipped a beat when he said Moncton and Alma. It’s so cool to hear someone from a different country just casually say the names of places near you.
My heart skipped another when he said Nova scotia
@@raps__8180 Yup! I used to live just outside a town pretty close to Economy! Knew it right away, I was stoked to see it!
I drove past exactly where he was near Alma just a couple weeks ago. Super cool that he landed there
I’m Nova Scotian too! Greetings fellow maritimers
Izik Middleton SAME!! I’m from Moncton and I freaked out😂
Thanks for doing a Canada video Tom. As a Canadian, it was very interesting watching you try to navigate your way thru the massive country. Cheers!
I sent him an email a while back saying his next straight line mission should be across a Canadian province... PEI of course but it still counts!
@@justwillaitken or from windsor to toronto lol
*French everywhere* "I wish I knew what state we're in" my brain bro hahaha
"ALMA IS RIGHT THERE!!" Me yelling at my screen lol
Came to the comments to say this
Me 2 lol
same i was just about to comment this haha
Waterside was there when he zoomed in a bit too 😭😭
Yeessssss!!
GeoWizard: 1:30
Me, screams: *Nova Scotia*
As a Nova Scotian I was screaming at my screen lol
@@rowk19 hello from the old country! 🏴🇨🇦
I was screaming the second he opened his screen. I miss home
Avery the Cuban-American I was screaming at my screen the entire time😂

Atlantic Canada refers to NB, NS, PE, and NL
Edit: Canada has provinces + territories not states.
Doesn't include newfoundland. That's the maritime provinces. Ns, nb, and nl.
Seth Atlantic provinces include NL, Maritimes doesn’t. I’m not sure if that’s what you were saying or not
@@sethboutilier PEI is a maritime province too.
@@DrThot other way around
Seth I think you got them backwards boy. Atlantic Canada is Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, P.E.I., and New Brunswick. When we say maritimes it means all of them minus Newfoundland and Labrador. I live in Halifax and everybody uses that system. And every Newfoundlander I've ever met has clearly let me know they are not part of the maritimes.
Imagine him going to vacation and the booking contains a tour guide.
"Here you can se-"
"I know"
LOOL underrated comment
Tom! As a rule of thumb, if signs are in FR and EN (Ch Dennis Beach Rd) you're most likely in New Brunswick as it's the only official bilingual province*
*not state lol
Also French stop signs are a very good indication of Quebec as it's the only official french speaking province.
and you can only say "have you seen the state of that province ?" not the other way round.
Or eastern Ontario.
wait what? we have this in manitoba too tho
Dominic Robichaud many small Francophone towns across Canada, such as Beaumont AB, have stop signs in French too
The first village you saw in Nova Scotia, there was a massive shooting in the village next to that a month or 2 ago. 22 people died, pretty crazy you landed so close to that.
Tokio and Algonquin, could it be right in my city that I pass all the time on my bike ride?
Wow it is, just an old image, it looks a bit different today.
Algonquin school was the school my mom went to.
Nice route you took, that was the fastest way to the big road (which is the Trans-Canada Highway).
I gotta admit, I used to live in Thunder Bay but I've never heard of Tokio. Then again, there's probably tons of roads in Port Arthur I don't know.
I live on the transcanada in ottawa.
As soon as I saw Tokio, I knew it was Thunder Bay. I lived down the road from there few years ago.
I live in county fair, so going down red river everyday on my way to school or work I was definitely not expecting to see it in a TH-cam video
Stayed in thunder bay while i was on a course in 2000. 20 irish and northern irish lads and lassies there for 10 weeks, was the best summer ever. Recognised it straight away walked up that road eveyday. Some view of the city from up the top of the mountain night time was my fav tho all the lights twinkling in the distance.
the alma part triggered me hahaha
facts, i was yelling at my screen lol
Same
KingK Same and especially since I’m from Moncton and I go to fundy all the time😂
the mad lad is blind as a bat. quite infuriating sometimes
"Maybe it's a different Moncton?"
I face palmed so hard
Me: oh god don’t say it
Him: “all we need is a STATE”
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure Algonquin is Native American in origin. I think it's the name of a tribe or nation.
Yep, and they were generally in New England/NY and Ontario iirc, though I can totally see them being in NS
Sketchy Plays and Quebec and all the territory’s
Yeah Algonquin is the name of a high school in Massachusetts, there’s a lot of Native American named roads or towns or schools in the New England/ Canadian region
Ontario has a massive provincial park named Algonquin
Keenan Larsen That’s probably where I heard that before
Seems like there's a ton of Canadians here, awesome to see.
Yep, Nova Scotian here
Yep, Northern Ontarian here
I drove on the Alma-Moncton street not too long ago
If you see french-only road signs, you are automatically in Québec. If it's in both english and french, it's usually because you are in a city bordering Québec, like Ottawa.
Québec storefronts also by law have to be predominantly written in french. You'll see lots of bilingual signs, but french has to be upfront.
New Brunswick also has french.
There are french communities all across Canada that will have french names roads and stores. Quebec just has it in the entirety of the province
wabadahugo NB is bilingual
Some spots in Saskatchewan and Alberta have double language signa
As usual,english-speaking communities in Quebec are ignored, not enough novelty value to minority-of-majority populations within minority populations I suppose.There are plenty more small communities in Quebec with significant english speaking populations and/or history then there are communities in Ontario or Alberta with french speaking populations. There are bilingual stopsigns in some communities in greater Montreal and the regions of Ouatouais,Monteregie, Soulanges,Laurentides, Estrie, Cote-nord and Gaspe.
Being from the Thunder Bay area, I was able to recognize the architecture right away. Very distinct.
Watching him pass LCBO signs on the second one, and then say 'well if we had a state I guess' had my pulling my hair out LOL.
Okay I forgiven it until now. Now that you are doing perfect score Canada you MUST start calling them provinces and territories.
coming from atlantic canada, the first round was hard to watch
I thought it was PEI for sure at first
I mean, it's still amazing how quickly he got it. Can't expect a Brit to know about Scotsburn haha.
That white church screamed Nova Scotia
Oh don’t worry being a french canadian and seeing him not acknowledge that our stop signs are called arret hurts so much
This was so awesome. I live in Edmonton, AB, Canada myself and this was really enjoyable to watch! I'm going to give this a try myself! Thank you so much. :)
Spruce Grove gang.
I live in Peace River, AB
@@blueleafy7167 yooo thats sick
7:50 LCBO is the liquor control board of ONTARIO
How would a guy in Britain know that
@@Ryan-yi6uu That's why he's telling him, so now he does know that.
hggk I thought he put Ontario in full caps because it was supposedly obvious. Idk
It’s frustrating When you find a clue and want to tell him so badly but you have to keep telling yourself it’s just a video
Oh Canada, my home and native land.
truuue paiitiriririti loooovivrheevv
Guide to Canada for future reference!:
- if roadsigns are only in french, you're in Quebec (even if the town name might not sounds french)
- if roadsigns are bilingual (Ch. XYZ Rd.), you're most probably in New Brunswick (you might be arround Ottawa or eastern Ontario along the quebec border)
- the road numbers in a crown mean you're in Ontario
- atlantic canada: new Brunswick, nova scotia, prince edward island, Newfoundland and labrador
then if its flat its, sask, if theres loads of canola fields and hilly it Alberta, and if your surrounded by mountains its BC
road signs are in french and english in ontario
As a Canadian I find it hilarious how he pronounced Algonquin like Al-gone-kin 😂
The knowledge you have of some of these areas is astonishing. Bravo!
12:30 it was right above victoriaville :(
beat me to it :/
Physically hurt me when he immidiately zoomed out and went away and then later decided to check for the road numbers.
I saw that too
WOOO CANADA! come and visit and do a straight line mission across Ontario
edit: Canada has provinces not states, and Algonquin is pronounced AL-GONE-KWIN
Straight line mission across Algonquin Park....
I think it would be funnier across the whole country :)
Do somewhere more interesting mate...
Straight mission line across Saskatchewan...just drive the #1.
Seeing New Brunswick made me really happy, as I’m from NB and no one knows of us! The Ontario truck was absolutely misleading haha! The amount of truckers we have from Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia is enough to fool anyone who would be playing the Canadian geoguesser and doesn’t know that NB is the drive-through province for a lot of truckers :) completely understandable to be confused lmao
Same
My Dad is from Peace River! I’m blown away at how fast you got that
I cringed when he said ridge road instead of range road, but he wouldn’t know anyhow.
Wait what? I live in peace river, I am here in the town right now!
Tip on road numbers in Quebec: Odd numbered roads generally run perpendicular to the river (St-Lawrence / St-Laurent), so roughly north-south, and the numbers increase the more you go east. Even numbered roads run parallel to the river, so east-west, and increase as you go north. So, finding a particular intersection of main roads in Quebec is really easy. Anyone who has had to travel around Quebec in the pre-GPS days knows that system to locate yourself on a paper map. It's a super smart and useful system.
There are other rules that are a bit less useful for geo-guessing. Like numbers below 100 are highways. 100 roads are main country roads. 200 are slightly smaller main country roads (e.g., that go through towns, at lower speed limits). And higher numbers (300, 400, 500, 600, ..) are usually a branch of a highway with the same lower numbers (e.g., the 440 would be an auxiliary branch of highway 40, in this particular case, the 440 is a section of highway within the city of Quebec that merges with highway 40 once you get out of the downtown area).
1:33 love that the Nova Scotia flag is smack dab in the middle of the screen.
Hello from Canada, i hope you get 25001 !!!
OMG I WAS YELLING AT DAVELUYVILLE HAHA
Damn, close. I'll try harder next time GF
Just want to say thank you Tom for getting me thru lockdown, Watched every one of your videos and even signed up to Geoguesser. Cheers mate keep going!
I always watch these when im having anxiety. thanks for the bomb content geowizard
Who kept cringing when he said "State".
Me
I came here to say this but deep down I know at least 500 other canadians have said it for me :)
his pronunciation of algonquin makes me cringe more
me and my homies hate states. we about those provinces
@@rowk19 I did
Algonquins were a Native American tribe :)
With the last last syllable being KWIN not KIN
They still are
triscuitbiscuit SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT, IT WAS KILLING ME
i guess in america/canada we kinda underestimate how much we are taught about native peoples in school and stuff compared to non-american countries, cus i thought everyone knew what algonquins were lol
He does sometimes use deliberate mispronunciation for the giggles, Oregon is one of the usual ones, but as someone from the NE US that one was very grating.
Your last guess, when I saw it, it felt eerily familiar. I only lived in Peace River for a decade and drive through that area all the time. Good job!
Very impressive go at these Canadian locations! Well done!
So fun to see a game in my home country. The sign you saw in the 4th round that said Maritime-Ontario is for a shipping company that ships between the Maritimes and Ontario. Also, I'm sure someone else has said this but its provinces, not states.
"Hmmm which 'state' would be helpful".. while staring at the LCBO haha I mean he got a better score than I would probably but just funny. Cheers from Ontario
I remember in an old video you mentioned that the northern clump of plains in Alberta would trip you up one day, but you immediately identified it based on a river. Nice work
6:41 says Thunder Bay's Largest Health Food Store
Canada... how quickly Cana-do it?
you thought that would go over our heads didn't ya
When he was looking for Alma on the map I was literally screaming at him as he ran his mouse over it like 7 times!
viewer from New Brunswick here, super cool to watch this!
im amazed this guy does this instead of doin music or playin video games or somethin . pretty neat to see something different subbed!
Algonquin is a tribe of Native Americans. It's fairly common to have roads/towns/rivers etc. named after Native American tribes in the US and Canada.
@@balfishman0895 i was about to say this lol no one says native american in canada 😂
Great job studying your Canadian place names, you found Thunder Bay, Moncton, and even Peace River right off the bat! If only you had learned the Provincial (not state!) Highway logos, you would have been sure about being in Ontario and in Québec. Though the NB one did save you thankfully from being mislead by the Maritime Ontario sign.
Rural roads in western Canada are usually divided range and township roads, the numbers are in order.
obviously, it's cool to watch him get very near the places the game puts him in but I watch these mostly for the very chill content. I love to lay back in bed and watch this very calm person talking to himself (in a way) to help himself figure out where he is and how he can get as near as possible to the place. much love, ma man. nothing better to come home after a long day and relax for a bit listenning to you.
I was convinced that Thunder Bay was Winnipeg untell I saw the Zellers lol
I thought the same thing lol. Such a Winnipeg vibe to it until I saw some changes in elevation
Yeah Red River made me think it was Winnipeg too, until we saw the LCBO
They still have Zellers there? They got rid of them in Alberta years ago and replaced them with Target, but then Target left so there was just nothing to replace it for a while. I think Safeway has stepped in to fill the void, mostly.
@@JesusFriedChrist Same in Ontario, Zellers to Target. Target died but nothing replaced them. A lot of the buildings are just vacant at least in Hamilton.
Yeah I was super weirded out, even the apartment building kinda looked like some in Winnipeg.
Though I didn't even notice the Zellers, I was tipped off by a street I didn't recognize in an area that looked similar to one I do
How on earth does a settlement get to be named "Economy"???
I thought it might be based on some capitalism loving founders but no, apparently... (from Wiki): "The place name comes from the 18th century Acadian L'Économie, an adaptation of the Mi'kmaq First Nation word for the location, kenomee, meaning 'a place of land jutting into the sea'. Mi'kmaqs presumably named the area thus because the shoreline juts out into the Minas Basin at what is now known as Economy Point. East of this point marks the beginning of Cobequid Bay. Mi'kmaqs hunted and gathered throughout the region for thousands of years prior to the settlement of Acadian families in the Economy area."
@@Lucysmom26 Thanks for the info!
(That's still a weird name IMHO :) )
@@bioLarzen That's what happens when European settlers try to write down a Native Canadian name that was in a language they don't speak. There are tons of examples in Canada, including the name Canada itself.

@@iciajay6891 I think you need to turn your map!
it's always so weird seeing places near where i grew up in these videos, but for one right off the hop, it was certainly unexpected.
Never been to Canada but I learnt things like looking at the language used on road signs, highway shield designs, colour of hydrants, how the traffic lights are oriented. etc not totally foolproof but random things you learn when you play the game.
1:13 Why does that look like the fornite #1 graphic.
probably is lol
glad I wasn't the only one lol
15:35 fun fact the first number in most three digit highways indicate how many lanes there are
Does that mean LA highways start with 12 at least
not in quebec tho ?
For priuses it means the speed
I always want to see my home town in these videos and you were very close to my town in this vid!
FYI that sign you saw in New Brunswick that said ONTARIO is actually a truck, and that truck actually says MARITIMES-ONTARIO
I got one in Apex, just outside of Iqaluit, and the streetview network isn't connected to Iqaluit. No information about where it is from streetview, besides snow, ocean, and cold.
hey tom, ever thought about doing a brazil perfect score? cheers
As a french Canadian, this was very entertaining to watch. Good video !
Hey entertaining video. Yes there will be people saying it's annoying you missed some things but I think that's all part of what makes it good to watch and funny. Keep at it mate!
Quebec is the only french-speaking province. If you see lots of french, you're in Quebec or very close to the border
New Brunswick is French speaking good, but they are bilingual so if there is no English in signs than it is Quebec.
Nice seeing some Canada and I come from about a 10 minutes drive off Daveluyville, I was screaming the whole time when you were looking around Victoriaville (from where I come) and not seeing Daveluyville just above! I have a friend living in Daveluyville!
My fiancé and I are from New Brunswick and I’m from Moncton. We were losing our minds when you were showing where our families are from because my cousins live in Alma! 😂😂 This made our little east coastians day!
I'm from Moncton too, Dieppe specifically.
