I've gone out in shorts in -30 mostly because that's what I wear inside where it is nice and toasty. If you need to go outside and are not going far (next door or across the street, maybe even the convenience store if it isn't far) then it is a lot of work to put on a big coat and other gear.

Target stores were never in Canada until one of our major department stores, Zellars, went out of business and American Target stores took over those spaces. They failed quickly....Target should have researched what Canada wants, needs and uses instead of just assuming we were exactly the same as Americans. I went to Target twice when it opened , not impressed at all and didn't buy anything. They were in and out of Canada quickly. Research your "target" audience people, don't they teach that in merchandising school? Zellers' had restarurant's and the the food was good. In Edmonton Alberta, I was a cook at the Zellers restaurant in Kingsway Mall . That was one of the very few Zellers to have a licenced dining room separate from the family restaurant. They had a much classier menu with things like steaks and cordon bleu, we were always super busy on a payday Friday evening. We may share some similarities with Americans but Canadians are different in many ways. It's not a good thing or a bad thing, I think it makes things more interesting between us.
When I was in Highschool it was normal for guys to show up in shorts during the winter. That house hippo vid is really well done, it looks great 🤣.

There are some people who wear shorts year round. Very likely they have a high metabolism. Years ago, 1981 or so, our town had a parade, and The Walrus Club, about 5 guys, part of walked in -30C weather, ONLY wearing shorts, and in bare feet. (100 Mile House, B.C.)
A weather system passed through Saskatchewan last week, and the radar hits on the precipitation in the air, put the ice at up to 2.75 inches. The hotter the summer, the stronger the storms, the more violent the wind in the storm, the longer the precipitation can be held up in the cloud to gather more ice..... This shit is getting insane.
About the hail, the mountains between British Columbia and Alberta retain clouds and create unique weather conditions for Alberta (winds mostly travel from West to East).
7:45 ish explanation. Canadian school kids are told to buy like 20 of these very specific notebooks that we go thru during the year, they are all the same and have basically remained unchanged since at least the 1980s, possibly even older. Nobody has a use for those ever again. Zellers is a now defunct chain of stores more or less similar to Target in the US that used to have in house restaurants, stopping there when shopping with our moms is sort of the quintessential growing up experience.
I’m in Alberta and yes hail storms are nothing new. Earlier in the summer a hail storm pounded the Calgary area , the airport suffered severe damage as did a lot of the passenger jets . About 12 years ago I lost my entire outdoor grow of weed to hail. Hail can be a game changer from heavy down pour of rain
Yes Canadian football fields are longer, we have 12 players per side, the ball is also slightly different, American football has 4 downs while Canadian football only has 3 downs, also Canadian offensive backfield players can move during the ball snap (except for the quarterback), the timing is different as well....actually there are quite a few tiny differences that add up to it being quite a bit different in game play. Because of the larger field and less downs the Canadian games tend to feel a bit more active. You should do a video about the differences

The hail doesn't start out the size of a baseball. Hail is formed when droplets of water high in the air get pulled into thunderstorm updrafts, high enough to reach temperatures that freeze the droplets. As the frozen water droplets begin to fall they collide with drops of water that are just below the freezing point. The very cold but not yet frozen water freezes around the falling ice droplets making the hailstones bigger, these collisions will continue, and the hailstones will grow until they become to heavy to stay aloft. The really big hailstones are held in the thunderstorm clouds for a longer period due to a stronger updraft, all the time collecting more layers of ice on them. Eventually they grow too heavy for even a powerful storm's updraft to hold them up anymore, and then they fall in the same way their smaller counterparts fell. Except the big ones come with the potential for much more destruction, and sometimes even death. Weather is fascinating, and sometimes it's scary af.
I was there when we got golfball sized hail. Over $40 000 000 of car damage...every car in the city, parked or driving outside without cover was distroyed.
Many years ago we had a hail storm in the city of Edmonton. We opened up the front door to better watch the hailstones just a little smaller than a baseball bounce off the grass and streets. Not thinking, we were not able to stop our dog from running out the door. It only took about 5 seconds before our poor dog got clunked on the head and briefly knocked out. My older brother was the poor hero that had to go out into the hail to retrieve our dizzy dog. All survived, including the memory and the chuckle that goes with it.
Target is not coming back to Canada as a standalone store, they are going to have a section for their children’s clothing line inside Hudson’s Bay stores
So... The hail thing. We have a very unique weather system thanks to being close to the mountains. There are times when the air churns the hail stones more times than you think would be possible. Eventually they get dropped, and if you cut one in half, you can see how many times the stones got pushed back and let a new layer grow.
Loved THE Laurentian colored pencils which kept in tact without the colour breaking in thee sharpened wooden part..,and had many choices of colours too.
Whilst living in VA in the early 90s, parts of the state close to DC had a huge hailstorm one afternoon, around Thanksgiving I think. The damage to automobiles in car lots and to cars parked in driveways during the sudden, 5-minute storm, amounted to 10s of millions of dollars. So, it happens in the US too.
I was caught camping in that same hailstorm. My trailer took a lot of damage. They counted 130 divets in the hood of my Jeep before they decided to just replace it.
17:00 (Canadian Rap) Heh... well that's a lot of stereotypes to pack into only a few sentences, but still fun and unique. One of the big differences I see is the flip of hostility. American rap talking about fighting is super aggressive, trying to intimidate others into being too scared to fight (which either works or fails spectacularly; also gives a strong "loudest dog in the junkyard is really the coward" vibe sometimes.) The Canadian attitude is more passive, but completely fearless. "Oh, did YOU want to fight? Sure little fella! Any time you feel like it, I'm ready for you! Take your shot! First beer's on me when you wake up from the floor." 😄
Looks to me like Target might be ‘targeting’ Canadian Tire a little more; interested to see how much outdoor and rec they bring in, and what beyond that. Another great episode.
Canadian football field is 20 yards longer bigger ball by 2 inches I think and there are only 3 downs hence it's a harder game. IMO it's a more exciting game too🇨🇦
10 yards longer (if we're talking end zone to end zone). Center is 55 yard line. Endzones are 10 yards deeper each. So 30 yards longer if you include the endzones
Target had huge supply chain issues. They didn't quite understand the geography of Canada and our own problems with transportation. Also they went too big far too fast to keep up with demand.
I'm old enough to remember when we also had to colour in all the states in the USA. We had to know the names of the states and their capital. Not that I remember now.
During the 1950s, 1960s, and probably later, Canadian elementary students (grade school) used the Hilroy Exercise books to take notes in class or to practice our writing and printing skills. The exercise books were simply lined pages stapled together inside front and back covers. The exercise books were a staple product for us baby boomers. The book colours made it easy to remember which book was for arithmetic, spelling, social studies, or science class. Spaces on front cover to print your name, subject matter, and classroom number.
@@karenramstedt4614 You probably did but didn't notice the name Hilroy written across the front cover. As a kid you would have just called it a notebook, but they really were produced by the company named Hilroy. We didn't call them Hilroy books, but they all were. All different colours with the name Hilroy written diagonally across the cover. Hopefully you paid more attention to the subjects in school during the 50s and 60s than what you were writing in. Your parents may have purchased other brands, but it is highly unlikely.
@@mitchelltyler5972 It’s so funny, because my mom was born in Saskatchewan, but lived in Winnipeg for longer (I was born there), so the Bombers are (strangely enough), her second favourite team. 😂 She has WAY too much fun this time of year, what with the Labour Day Classic and the Banjo Bowl.
The target by me had a terrible selection. The store was half empty and what was there was more expensive than pretty much the same stuff you could find at walmart for the same prices or cheaper. It was a disappointment all around.
I remember many half empty aisles, except for one aisle with identical packages of paper towels over and over and over as far as the eye could see lol....
I live in Alberta and had to replace all the vinyl siding on the West end of my home due to hail damage a year ago. Many homes have not been able to replace their damaged siding yet, a year later.
Yeah a storm got our house too. Shredded all of the siding on the west side of our house and some in the front (northside) destroyed our plants, yard lights, damaged our truck......it was a mess. Don't wanna go through that again but prob will someday...crazy weather
Big hail isn't just floating in the sky, it builds up and once it hits a certain weight it falls, but depending on how fast the hail forms it would be different sizes.
Whenever it seems that there are going to be a large, violent thunderstorm they often seed the clouds. But even seeding, Alberta still gets these storms.
Hail that size is rare but it does happen. Water droplets form and freeze in clouds. Then they start to fall. If they continue falling they melt on the way down and become rain, or they partly melt on the way down and become "freezing rain". But sometimes the air pressure stops the fall and pushes them back up through the clouds, where they get a coat of water. Then they freeze again. This happens over and over, with each layer of water/ice making the hailstone bigger and bigger, until it is too heavy or the air pressure drops enough and the air currents can't continue pushing it back up.
As someone who did up to grade 3 in the US, then moved to Canada, the Hilroy exercise books are equivalent to your black and white cow print composition books, only in Canada they are paper thin books that come 4 in a pack and we must go through at least 20 of them in one school year.
I actually bought a box of Mr. Freeze popsicles today. They are still sold and appreciated today. Since I am 68 years old, I can honestly say that while TRIX cereal may just be for kids, Mr. Freeze popsicles are for all ages to enjoy.
Yep, on my way to treatments i stop at Tims to pick up a bagel and a french vanilla coffee, and on the way home from treatment we stop there to pick up a wrap, taters with chipolte dip, an ice cap (the mushy stuff in the cup) & 10 tim bits. Its my treat for getting through the days before the side effects kick in. PS. The paper straws dont get mushy unless you leave it in there too long.

There is Zeller’s I have seen them in the Bay… I found Target too expensive when you have Walmart and the Dollar store. Americans coming to Canada, boy do I have stories. Like the 4 guys who showed up in July looking to go skiing, now that was funny. Running in February in shorts and sneakers, teachers riding motorcycle in winter with T-shirt and jeans… memories and boy howdy do I remember the scribblers.
My winter shorts/t-shirt zone is the garbage dumpster behind my apartment. If I'm lounging around the house in shorts and a T I won't bother changing into pants if all I'm doing is taking out the garbage. And yes, the news story about the hail storm in Calgary was real.
Yep, I had a storm at my residence once, where the hail busted 10 windows, and the baseball size hail stones were bouncing all over the inside of my house.
With the guy in shorts, looks like a campus; if he's a student who lives there it may not be a long walk. We also run outside for things in the dead of winter without much on. I mean throw your shoes on, run out and run back in, don't want to get all dressed up for that. lol. I remember doing the colouring in school for Social Studies. We'd do countries too, so the States was only one colour. A Pigeon! lmao. You should listen to Scottish insults, they're the best. lol
Canadian here. We had hail the size of baseballs once years ago. We lived in a very old house and it completely took out our roof. The entire porch area caved in. It was terrible but a blessing in disguise as it gave us the push we needed to finally leave that old house. It was a bad living situation that we were stuck with for a long time.
9:15 Oh, Target's going to make another attempt to break into the Canadian market? You'd think they learned the first time. They tried this a few years back. They'd noted that there were lots of Canadians crossing the borders for day-long shopping trips, and many of them landing at Target, and spending a lot of money at once. This led them to believe that Canadian's LOVED spending their money at Target stores ("maybe the red and white logo reminds them of their flag? Who knows how Canadians think?") and they opened a bunch of new branches in Canada (in many cases setting up shop in old Zellers department stores). This generated some early interest, but most (all?) of these locations quickly went into the red and shut down, the initially curious first time shoppers not coming back for a second time... because the prices for products they could easily get in several other places were uncompetitively high. Canadians weren't driving all the way across the border for a day because we were fascinated by red-and-white things, or charmed by Target's branding or marketing, or because the crap they were selling was "special" somehow. They were making the trip and making big purchases because *PRICES ARE LOWER IN THE USA!* We came for the *bargains,* not the bright shiny colours! We're not sugar-ridden, easily amused children! We're sensible adults shopping for essentials on a budget! So Target wants to try again in 2025, do they? If they keep the prices low, there's room for them in the market. If they get too greedy and convinced of their own "specialness" again, they'll leave in tears again. Very simple and entirely predictable. We'll see what they do. Although judging by "Hey Canada, did you miss us?" (No, no we didn't. We could get literally everything you sell in another store for a lower price). I'm not optimistic they've learned any better this time.

Loved THE Laurentian colored pencils which kept in tact without the colour breaking in thee sharpened wooden part..,and had many choices of colours too.
Those scooters in gym class pinched or rolled over so many of our fingers
You've never heard Canadian rap before? I assumed every American knew Drake.
When I was a kid in the 1970s we had Freezies and shopped at Zeller's. It was where I got all my jeans.
I buy Freezies at Dollarama, in bulk. The brand name ones.
12:25 "Never seen such a thing" WHAT THE FUCK THERE BUD. YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE STRAWS FROM HELL IN AMERICA!??
Pass-tah. Sheesh!
Whilst living in VA in the early 90s, parts of the state close to DC had a huge hailstorm one afternoon, around Thanksgiving I think. The damage to automobiles in car lots and to cars parked in driveways during the sudden, 5-minute storm, amounted to 10s of millions of dollars. So, it happens in the US too.
Same guy in the driving skit. He dishes it out more on Canadians in most of his posts, love the guy!
I was caught camping in that same hailstorm. My trailer took a lot of damage. They counted 130 divets in the hood of my Jeep before they decided to just replace it.
Tim Hortons now has Pizza and they’re pretty good for pizza from a coffee shop
you know your american when u have NEVER had an iced cap!!
There was some softball sized hail near Innisfail AB a year or two ago.
17:00 (Canadian Rap) Heh... well that's a lot of stereotypes to pack into only a few sentences, but still fun and unique. One of the big differences I see is the flip of hostility. American rap talking about fighting is super aggressive, trying to intimidate others into being too scared to fight (which either works or fails spectacularly; also gives a strong "loudest dog in the junkyard is really the coward" vibe sometimes.) The Canadian attitude is more passive, but completely fearless. "Oh, did YOU want to fight? Sure little fella! Any time you feel like it, I'm ready for you! Take your shot! First beer's on me when you wake up from the floor." 😄
Looks to me like Target might be ‘targeting’ Canadian Tire a little more; interested to see how much outdoor and rec they bring in, and what beyond that. Another great episode.
Colouring Nunavut and the islands blue.... I feel your pain.
Target is coming back??? Even more pain!
And yes, he was tripping over a pigeon. 🙂
They have pizza a tim Hortons now
If you venture out in shorts in -30 degree weather> coffee isn't needed..
Canadian football field is 20 yards longer bigger ball by 2 inches I think and there are only 3 downs hence it's a harder game. IMO it's a more exciting game too🇨🇦
10 yards longer (if we're talking end zone to end zone). Center is 55 yard line. Endzones are 10 yards deeper each. So 30 yards longer if you include the endzones
Target had huge supply chain issues. They didn't quite understand the geography of Canada and our own problems with transportation. Also they went too big far too fast to keep up with demand.
I'm old enough to remember when we also had to colour in all the states in the USA. We had to know the names of the states and their capital. Not that I remember now.
We did too. No one cried, however.
During the 1950s, 1960s, and probably later, Canadian elementary students (grade school) used the Hilroy Exercise books to take notes in class or to practice our writing and printing skills. The exercise books were simply lined pages stapled together inside front and back covers. The exercise books were a staple product for us baby boomers. The book colours made it easy to remember which book was for arithmetic, spelling, social studies, or science class. Spaces on front cover to print your name, subject matter, and classroom number.
I'm a baby boomer and we never used those notebooks. Never, grade 1 through 12.
@@karenramstedt4614 You probably did but didn't notice the name Hilroy written across the front cover. As a kid you would have just called it a notebook, but they really were produced by the company named Hilroy. We didn't call them Hilroy books, but they all were. All different colours with the name Hilroy written diagonally across the cover. Hopefully you paid more attention to the subjects in school during the 50s and 60s than what you were writing in. Your parents may have purchased other brands, but it is highly unlikely.
A CFL football field is 110 by 65 yards.
Not counting the end zones.
yup. we make em big in Canada - and fewer downs to boot. I like CFL better.
I’m a casual CFL fan, but my mom has been a diehard Riders fan since birth. She solely refers to the NFL as ‘sissy football’. 🙃
@@SusietheNewf Uh oh, Roughriders eh? I hail from her sworn rival's territory over in Bomber land. But it's all good, I'm just a casual too 😉
@@mitchelltyler5972 It’s so funny, because my mom was born in Saskatchewan, but lived in Winnipeg for longer (I was born there), so the Bombers are (strangely enough), her second favourite team. 😂 She has WAY too much fun this time of year, what with the Labour Day Classic and the Banjo Bowl.
Got to disagree with the decent prices from Target. The reason they failed up here is because their prices were terrible.
The target by me had a terrible selection. The store was half empty and what was there was more expensive than pretty much the same stuff you could find at walmart for the same prices or cheaper. It was a disappointment all around.
I remember many half empty aisles, except for one aisle with identical packages of paper towels over and over and over as far as the eye could see lol....
I live in Alberta and had to replace all the vinyl siding on the West end of my home due to hail damage a year ago. Many homes have not been able to replace their damaged siding yet, a year later.
Yeah a storm got our house too. Shredded all of the siding on the west side of our house and some in the front (northside) destroyed our plants, yard lights, damaged our truck......it was a mess. Don't wanna go through that again but prob will someday...crazy weather
Big hail isn't just floating in the sky, it builds up and once it hits a certain weight it falls, but depending on how fast the hail forms it would be different sizes.
16:34 Driving through Toronto during pandemic time was kinda eeriee. Almost zombie apocalypse opening scene.
Whenever it seems that there are going to be a large, violent thunderstorm they often seed the clouds. But even seeding, Alberta still gets these storms.
Your GW Bush impression is spot on😅
Exercise book were the books we were given in school, blank lined pages, for our studies. We didnt have loose paper back then
The Hilroy Canada Workbooks were basically blank notebooks to take class notes.
Zeller's is the Canadian version of Walmart 😅
If Canadians really talked like that I would have to leave.
Target didn’t work. I want Zellars back too !
Same bring one of my favorite shopping place back 😢😢
As kids, we would used those as an excuse for road hockey pucks. Good times.
We hate the paper straws but use big plastic cups and covers it makes no sense. We use lots of plastic so straws is doing nothing
a&w has paper straws, makes me not even wanna drink the drink with it.
Hail that size is rare but it does happen.
Water droplets form and freeze in clouds. Then they start to fall. If they continue falling they melt on the way down and become rain, or they partly melt on the way down and become "freezing rain".
But sometimes the air pressure stops the fall and pushes them back up through the clouds, where they get a coat of water. Then they freeze again. This happens over and over, with each layer of water/ice making the hailstone bigger and bigger, until it is too heavy or the air pressure drops enough and the air currents can't continue pushing it back up.
Target Canada, the only supercenter to go bankrupt twice, lol.
Love the channel, if sure people will fill in the blanks of the culture up here but keep up the good work T.
As someone who did up to grade 3 in the US, then moved to Canada, the Hilroy exercise books are equivalent to your black and white cow print composition books, only in Canada they are paper thin books that come 4 in a pack and we must go through at least 20 of them in one school year.
I actually bought a box of Mr. Freeze popsicles today. They are still sold and appreciated today. Since I am 68 years old, I can honestly say that while TRIX cereal may just be for kids, Mr. Freeze popsicles are for all ages to enjoy.
Yep, on my way to treatments i stop at Tims to pick up a bagel and a french vanilla coffee, and on the way home from treatment we stop there to pick up a wrap, taters with chipolte dip, an ice cap (the mushy stuff in the cup) & 10 tim bits. Its my treat for getting through the days before the side effects kick in. PS. The paper straws dont get mushy unless you leave it in there too long.
large hail forms like a snowball rolling down a hill. It gets bigger as it goes down.
Hail happens when the warm rain cloud floats above a cold front. The rain falls through the cold air and freezes on the way down.
✌️🌼💕 thanks for the laughs, and the reminder to wash my house hippo 😂
5:00 Context: They slapped the man ahead of them in the head repeatedly with the flag 🤣
The girl who helped carry the Canadian flag during the Paris closing ceremonies is the swimmer Summer McIntosh 😊 she got 4 olympic medals this year! During her second olympics! She’s 17!!
Love the last one!
Baseball sized hail was seen in Estevan and Calgary this year.
Tim Horton's has new products every 3 weeks that last for a month or so, the big successes remain, but they're always trialing new food items. Right now it's their Pizza that is big, cheap and delicious (and like 5 or 6 varieties).
Omg I forgot about this rapper I loved his videos sm 😂
That mushy drink was an ice cap from Timmy's, I had one today, probably have another one tomorrow 😊 ✌️
Love these Canadian Tic Toks . . . keep 'em coming ! 😁
We don't miss a cup of coffee in the morning. Our blood is coffee 😂
We had baseball size hail in Québec the first time in June 1986.....now it does happen once in a while
There is Zeller’s I have seen them in the Bay… I found Target too expensive when you have Walmart and the Dollar store. Americans coming to Canada, boy do I have stories. Like the 4 guys who showed up in July looking to go skiing, now that was funny. Running in February in shorts and sneakers, teachers riding motorcycle in winter with T-shirt and jeans… memories and boy howdy do I remember the scribblers.
My winter shorts/t-shirt zone is the garbage dumpster behind my apartment. If I'm lounging around the house in shorts and a T I won't bother changing into pants if all I'm doing is taking out the garbage. And yes, the news story about the hail storm in Calgary was real.
Yep, I had a storm at my residence once, where the hail busted 10 windows, and the baseball size hail stones were bouncing all over the inside of my house.
With the guy in shorts, looks like a campus; if he's a student who lives there it may not be a long walk. We also run outside for things in the dead of winter without much on. I mean throw your shoes on, run out and run back in, don't want to get all dressed up for that. lol. I remember doing the colouring in school for Social Studies. We'd do countries too, so the States was only one colour. A Pigeon! lmao. You should listen to Scottish insults, they're the best. lol
The guy in shorts was just running in to get his clothes out of the dryer.
@@davidleaman6801 🤣
It may have warmed up from -40C. That feels warm. I know, I have been in that situation. Jackets open.
Canadian here. We had hail the size of baseballs once years ago. We lived in a very old house and it completely took out our roof. The entire porch area caved in. It was terrible but a blessing in disguise as it gave us the push we needed to finally leave that old house. It was a bad living situation that we were stuck with for a long time.
9:15 Oh, Target's going to make another attempt to break into the Canadian market? You'd think they learned the first time.
They tried this a few years back. They'd noted that there were lots of Canadians crossing the borders for day-long shopping trips, and many of them landing at Target, and spending a lot of money at once. This led them to believe that Canadian's LOVED spending their money at Target stores ("maybe the red and white logo reminds them of their flag? Who knows how Canadians think?") and they opened a bunch of new branches in Canada (in many cases setting up shop in old Zellers department stores). This generated some early interest, but most (all?) of these locations quickly went into the red and shut down, the initially curious first time shoppers not coming back for a second time... because the prices for products they could easily get in several other places were uncompetitively high.
Canadians weren't driving all the way across the border for a day because we were fascinated by red-and-white things, or charmed by Target's branding or marketing, or because the crap they were selling was "special" somehow. They were making the trip and making big purchases because *PRICES ARE LOWER IN THE USA!* We came for the *bargains,* not the bright shiny colours! We're not sugar-ridden, easily amused children! We're sensible adults shopping for essentials on a budget!
So Target wants to try again in 2025, do they? If they keep the prices low, there's room for them in the market. If they get too greedy and convinced of their own "specialness" again, they'll leave in tears again. Very simple and entirely predictable. We'll see what they do.
Although judging by "Hey Canada, did you miss us?" (No, no we didn't. We could get literally everything you sell in another store for a lower price). I'm not optimistic they've learned any better this time.
"Did you miss us?" No. We barely noticed you were gone.
