Yeah I agree about the commonwealth part. I was in London recently and they made me queue at the "other passports" queue at Gatwick. Why isn't it the "EU nationals and commonwealth" queue? (only lowkey upset because their queue was going much quicker!). I'm sure it's the same for Australia, but it almost feels like we're a distant cousin of the UK, despite answering to the queen.

If you were to stick a tap into a maple tree expecting syrup to come out, you'd be very disappointed. When the sap oozes out of the tree, it's mostly water with a slightly sweet taste. It has to be boiled for a long time till most of the water has evaporated, and then you have maple syrup. I like maple syrup, but I don't buy it very often because it's really expensive. Having been raised in Saskatchewan, I never really had occasion to try poutine till I moved to Toronto in my thirties, and even then I never actually had it till I visited Montreal a few years after that. Since then, it's really caught on. I guess the rest of Canada was waiting for me to try it and give it my stamp of approval. I'm not crazy about it. I mean, it's OK, but it looks kind of gross and it simply cannot be good for you. By the way, you want to try soy sauce on chips. I stumbled upon that by mistake when I was at university in the late '70s, thinking it was malt vinegar (the cafe I was at was Chinese, but it also had chips and burgers, and there were two bottles on the table that looked almost identical and I doused my chips with soy sauce). I discovered that I loved it, and I've been having soy sauce on chips ever since. People look at me like I have two heads when I ask for it, as they did when I visited Hartlepool a few years ago, but then they try it and say "Wow!" I never heard of bagged milk till I moved to Toronto either. But it really is a more efficient way to transport milk as the bags weigh practically nothing, which means the trucks can carry more at a time and use less gas. And the bags are recyclable. You just put the bag into a jug, snip off one of the corners and hey presto! I took French from grade 7 through grade 12, as well as four years at university, and I hardly ever have a reason to use it. But I can in a pinch, like when I visited Belgium and France a few years ago and made a conscious effort not to speak English. Knowledge gets rusty over time, but it's amazing how much of it you remember when you have to. Pineapple on pizza is awesome, like so many things where you mix sweet and savory-pork chops with apple sauce, for instance, or Pad Thai, or *OMG salted caramel* !!! As for being in the Commonwealth, I say god save the Queen! The monarchy is one of the things that keeps us from being American. I like the idea of having a head of state that is above politics and doesn't answer to a political party. That said, we hardly ever see her, and we have a Governor General who represents her. Right now our GG is Julie Payette, a former astronaut! I'm not all that crazy about Justin Trudeau and I think he got where he is mostly because of his name. His father was prime minister for most of the years from 1968 to 1984, and one Trudeau was enough. As a socialist (NDP), I just don't like the idea of politics being a family business, and political dynasties just perpetuate a ruling aristocracy. I'd rather we spread the power around rather than concentrate it in the hands of a few. Besides, we already have a perfectly good Royal Family (see above). I hardly ever say, "eh", but I know how and when to. I do say "sorry" a lot, though, like most English-speaking Canadians. And the last letter of the alphabet is *zed* not zee, no matter what a lot of younger Canadians think. I hope this helps. Sorry if it doesn't. And now that I've subscribed to your channel, I hope you'll return the favour.

idk abt u bro but i am just not happy

I’m a Canadian with a few things to say: 1. Maple syrup is great. I like it on my pancakes and use it to make maple salad dressing. 2. It’s referred to as Kraft Dinner or KD in Canada. It’s actually quite a technical dish and can in fact take years of university to master. It’s all in the correct ratio of butter & milk (that comes from a carton, not a bag) and in the technique to mix it which yields the spectacular creamy-ness that I know you’re missing. 3. Poutine is the best. Your welcome. I love to order poutine at the ski chalet. It’s a great warm snack after coming off the slopes!! Or you can order what’s called the turkey stuffing poutine and make it a whole meal 4. I’ve often heard our Prime Minister described as dreamy and have heard that he resembles the Disney prince from The Little Mermaid. (I kind of agree) 5. We do have a lot of women in power, but have room for more! 6. Pineapple on pizza is never something I’d choose... but seeing as we’re all happy go lucky and accepting over here I’ll just let those pineapple pizza lovers be. 7. The US is great, I have family that live there and love to visit. We do not like to be confused with Americans though :) 8. I do say ‘Eh’ a lot when I’m talking. “Eh, you going to the beach today?” - used to grab someone’s attention before a question is posed “I think it time to leave, eh?” -used to turn a statement into a question and thus implying the response you want from that question. “How about the weather, eh?” - used in a question for no apparent reason “Have a nice day, eh” - used in a statement for no apparent reason Hope you all have a nice day eh!

You guys are so cute && funny! As I Canadian I will try my best to answer your questions! We don’t like really being confused with America because they stand for many different things than us, also a lot of people give the USA a bad reputation and we Canadians don’t want that! Kraft produces a lot more than just boxed Mac and cheese, for example they make salad dressings which in my opinion are the best ones out of the given options at the store. Our prime minister is definitely geared more towards the youth and the future of the coming generations, he is very up to date with what is going on in his country and a lot of the older Canadians don’t like him for that but he was voted in office mainly by the youth and I think that he is doing many of the things he promised to those who voted for him! It’s all about voting! Pineapples on pizza isn’t as bad as people think. I personally think that when paired with something salty (like olives, maybe anchovies if you’re into that) it makes a great sweet and salty combo that is satisfying... but I’m also bias since I’m Canadian 😅 Maple syrup is not as commonly used here as people would think. We use it just as much as other countries I believe. We do have a lot of sweets that have maple in them or maple flavouring but other than that we just use it on things like pancakes and some people ice cream! Fun fact: maple syrup is made from the sap of the maple tree, it is boiled with sugar to make its sweet flavour. I wouldn’t say that everyone in Canada is happy, I don’t think there is anywhere in the world where everyone is happy but Canada does have a lot to offer that makes people feel comfortable and safe which I think would make anyone happy. Our healthcare, laws, relationships with other countries, jobs/pay rates, etc. All have a huge impact! The French language is mandatory to be taught until the 9th grade. After that you are allowed to choose whether or not you continue with it. It is mainly only used in Quebec and they do get irritated (I think this would be the best word to use) when you speak English to them. I went there on a trip once and noticed that they really appreciate more and are nicer if you at least try to make an effort to speak French! Bagged milk, oh my what a topic. So believe it or not we do have milk that is sold in cartons... I just think bagged milk is more popular to talk about because it’s weird. They started bagging milk long ago because it was lighter and less fragile than putting it in glass bottles... from than until now it has just kinda been a thing that we do! Being apart of the commonwealth doesn’t bother me personally. It doesn’t have an effect on my everyday life or way of living so I don’t even really think about it? I’m sure some people have stronger opinions about it but I really believe that the majority could care less. Lastly, probably the most common assumption about Canadians... so, we do NOT say eh at the end of every sentence... but on the other hand we do say it quite a bit. It is mainly used as an alternative to ‘right?’ For example I might say “the weather is quite nice today eh?” Thanks for the fun video and I hope my answers provided some knowledge :P have a wonderful day!

Think Canada is overshadowed by US more because of population than anything else. Canada has approximately the population of (only) California. Apparently, you are unaware of Quebecois pride. Imagine Scotland if the Scots all still spoke Gaelic. Quebec separatism is sometimes stronger, sometimes less strong, but French is not going away. Nor should it. It's a beautiful language, and the language of a number of African countries, too. Had to dredge it up from memory a couple of times at art museum in Houston when I worked there, to communicate to people from other countries. We have the expression 'lingua franca' because French was the international language, of diplomacy, before English. No doubt it drives the French nuts that English is now the lingua franca! (Except in Quebec!) 😽

Montreal used to be English and French when it was the largest city in Canada and there used to be dual language street signs. More recently Quebec Province started language laws that restricted languages other than French, including Chinese restaurant and English business signs, that caused many large businesses to move to Toronto, which is now the largest Canadian city.

My dad used to travel to the USA for work every few months. And I remember him telling me a story about having a nice chat with a guy at the pub, who looked over and said "You know, you Canadians are way more patriotic than us" And my dad was stumped, because the USA is like the epitome of being proud of one's patriotism & freedom, he couldn't understand what this guy meant. The guy went on to explain that yes, Americans are proud, with their flags on their lawns and their very loud culture of being strongly patriotic, but he said he noticed that Canadians are no less patriotic about our own country, we're just quiet about it. He said that anyone who is so confident in their country and its power that they don't even need to flaunt it, he said "You're just quietly proud and you don't need to show off how patriotic you are just for the sake of it, you just know you love your country." That story always stood out to me. ♥️

Canada has 2 official languages English and French. French was made an official language in Canada in order to help the francaphone population maintain their unique culture and heritage, so that it doesn't become watered down by English which tends to overshadow everything. French is primarily used in the province of Quebec and across the bridge in Ottawa the Nation's capital (province of Ontario), as well as many other communities peppered across the country. Together English and French have helped Canada become a more diverse country, more accepting of each others differences. The relationship hasn't always been easy and it's not perfect, but as our society continues to evolve the relationship between the English and French population grows stronger.

Question 2: Kraft dinner is really cheap, like a dollar or something, and it's what a bunch of college and university students eat because of that fact.

I can assure you that the Hawaiian pizza is not the worst thing to ever come from Canada. That title belongs to Justin Beiber. Even if Satan was Canadian, Beiber would still hold that title.

The reason you hear more about the US vs Canada is due to the US doing everything bigger and louder and bolder. Canadians tend to be more reserved and humble, traits we share with and were influenced by our Commonwealth brethren.

French Canadian here and proud Quebecer. To answer your question, we do still speak French, but mainly because it’s part of our heritage. Like you said, we were a French colony and for that fact we kept our cultural identity throughout the centuries. More than just the language we speak, my ancestors and nowadays, us Quebecers, don’t feel like English offsprings nor identify to it’s culture because we were ruled by them.

A couple points, from a Canadian: - Canada might be overshadowed by the US to you, but that's because you're not Canadian. They are our loud (obnoxious) closest neighbours and trading partners, but they're a more populous country. Canada has 1/10 of the population of the USA. When it comes to international hockey tournaments, that's when we apparently get the loudest and proudest. Also, I get insulted when it's assumed I'm American because we want to carve our own identity that's separate from the USA. - The Kraft Macaroni & Cheese you showed is the American version. In Canada, it's marketed as Kraft Dinner and it even says so on the box. Why do Canadians like Kraft products? We just do. It's familiar to us. - Hawaiian pizza is enjoyable because it's ham and pineapple. I'm guessing it's dubbed Hawaiian because both pork and pineapples are really big in Hawaiian culture (think Luau). And if you think that combining ham and pineapple is strange, consider that in many places (and namely in families like mine), if you have a ham made for Easter dinner (very common here), it's garnished with pineapple and cherries. The sweetness of the fruit counters the salty savouriness of the ham. - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself explained that when he appointed his cabinet, it would be 50% female. His rationale was that at the time, it was 2015 and it would only make sense that the cabinet would reflect the actual demographics of his voters. - You see Canadian maple syrup because we're the #1 producer of it in the world. The #2 producer is the USA, as they only produce it in Vermont. It's not enough to export. Also, you don't just drink the sap from the tree... it takes 40 gallons of maple sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup - Quebec speaks French primarily because it is their heritage (hello, empire) and that heritage is protected by law. Only one province or territory is officially bilingual (English & French) according to their own provincial law, and that's New Brunswick. - I'm guessing milk is in bags (only in the eastern half of the country) because of shipping and packaging costs (?). Some other places have milk in bags too, apparently (as in a few US states). If you can come up with a less cumbersome way to package 4L of milk, I'm all ears. (Western Canada uses plastic jugs, but they take up more plastic) - I like the Royal Family and being part of the Commonwealth, but I wish that still being part of the Commonwealth had movement benefits (moving or travelling to the UK still requires a Canadian passport and I have to pay for a visa to enter the UK) - We really only say 'eh' at the end of rhetorical questions. For example, if the weather is hot, someone might greet you or strike up a conversation with 'It's hot out today, eh?' because of course it's hot out. If you have an aquarium in your home, someone might come over and ask 'So you like fish, eh?' because it's obvious you do, or else you wouldn't have an aquarium. The purpose is to start small talk. When you hear an American impersonate a Canadian, you know they don't know how to use 'eh' correctly because it sounds wrong. And as for 'How's it going, eh?' it's really like when Brits say 'You alright?' In your example of 'Just going to bed, eh?' is like stating you're going to bed, and the 'eh' basically is to elicit a response from the person we're talking to. We're not just abruptly stating "I'm going to bed." because it might be perceived as rude or curt. Also, some regions use 'eh' way more than others.

It was originally marketed as Kraft Dinner. The name was changed in the US to Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. It is marketed in the UK as Cheesy Pasta. . Kraft does not have separate recipes for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Kraft Dinner, or Cheesy Pasta. Regardless of where it is manufactured, where the ingredients are sourced from, or what market it is packaged for, it is the same product in a box.

I bet they've never tried pineapple on pizza. You don't taste it alone, it blends in and gives a nice flavour. Also I rarely have maple syrup. When I do, it's on pancakes or waffles, or breakfast sausages :) also I use it in desserts, like maple fudge. I definitely don't replace water with it hahaha. I drink a gallon of water a day that I get right from a brook haha.

Joel & Lia: In response to your first question, imagine you live in a flat where downstairs, you've got loud people living there who love to party and have a blast (America) and then upstairs, they just quietly tolerate it and mind their own business in a mature way (Canada). That's what our relationship is like. We rarely hear any bad news coming out of Canada, so we assume that they are just peaceful people. I've been watching a number of your videos now and can guess that you two, based on your interests, would love the Pacific Northwest: Oregon, Washington and towards Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. These places are the mecca of experimental foodie culture, wines, ciders, marijuana, home of major high tech industries, spirituality, green living, artsy-fartsy types, hippie culture, mild weather, and love of the outdoors. As a side note: Because you are both actors, you'll find the indie film industry thriving throughout the Pacific Northwest and there are many TV shows and films being shot in Vancouver, B.C. Outside of the Pacific Northwest, filming these days is done a lot in Atlanta, Georgia because of tax incentives for the filmmakers. I encourage you both to do the traditional road trip that's very American, going from coast-to-coast, across the country. Please do the same in Canada. Their landscapes are breathtaking too!

Awesome video! The dynamic between the US and Canada is very interesting. Being from Minnesota, I've been asked by other Americans (southerners and east coasters mostly) if I might be Canadian. That's because we have a similar "lilt" in our manner of speech to many of our maple leaf brother and sisters to the north. I lost my accent in the military but quickly pick it back up if I go back to where I grew up. If I were a Canadian and people frequently thought I was an American, it'd likely irk me a little. Canada is a great country, the best neighbor anyone could hope for, have plenty to be proud of, and have one of the coolest national flags around. Being in the Army for 28 years, I've worked with military folks from lots of other countries. This might be kind of odd but I think folks in the US Army are a lot more like the Brits than we are to Canadians. Canadians seem to be much more laid back whereas, in the US Army, we are equally as uptight as our British military brethren. Being a little uptight in the military (aka "nervous in the service") isn't always a bad thing. Yes Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is like plastic; it's horrible and I am equally perplexed why anyone eats it. On the other hand, the Hawaiian Pizza is pure heaven! Bagged milk? Nothing wrong there and we have that in Minnesota as well but haven't seen it elsewhere.

Hello, I'm Canadian and I'll try to give you good answers based on my opinion. :) Well, I personally have never been mistaken as American, so it's sort of hard to answer this question. But it's almost like somebody calling a Britain Indian... it's wrong. I think it's just because we aren't Americans so it's not fair to be called Americans. Now, I don't necessarily think it's bad thing to think that someone who is Canadian is American, but if they do tell you that they're not than maybe just being respectful of that. But, to be honest, it's very hard to tell us apart, especially since most of us have the same accent. Kraft products are big because Kraft is more than just mac and cheese. There is Kraft cheese, Kraft salad dressing, Kraft meat, and many more. Plus, Kraft mac and cheese is popular because it's easy to make. It's like instant noodles. It's also really good :) Thank you! I personally think Canada is in a great state acceptance wise. I feel like the majority of Canadians are accepting towards each others, no matter what your background is or what gender you are or what country you're from. If you want a fresh start, Canada is a great place to go. I've never actually tried Hawaiian pizza before so I can't really judge on this, but it's sort of something that people like. You know, everyone likes different things. Some people like cake, some don't. It's really a personal thing. Where I'm from in Canada, maple syrup is pretty popular. Most people I know have maple syrup on their food. It's very popular to put it on pancakes, waffles, even ice cream. My family even collects it ourselves. What you have to do is we hammer the little trout? (I don't know what it's actually called, but it's sort of like a long funnel) in the tree. Then add a bucket hanging off of the "trout". Eventually, the sap will drip into your bucket and once you have a full bucket, you boil it, add sugar, and there you go. You have maple syrup. If you guys have maple trees in England, you can make your own maple syrup too, it's actually pretty simple. I think we're happy because we appreciate our wonderful country. Our country is so accepting and it's so easy to meet new people. When everybody around you are acting kind, it becomes contagious. Sometimes when I'm having a bad day, I'll just go to the supermarket, somebody will smile at me, and then I'll feel better. (also, it's because we have polar bears) We speak french because it's part of our past. It's a part of who we are. If we just gave that up it would be like giving up a piece of us, you know? Also, the french do get a little frustrated when you speak English there and, like, expect them to understand you... but I guess I understand that. It would be like somebody that speaks a different language comes into your country and expects you to understand them. It's not really fair. I also LOVE french. It's such a beautiful language. Everything you say in it is so elegant. I honestly don't know why we still have our milk in bags. We do have cartons too, but bagged milk is just more popular. I don't mind being in Commonwealth. I don't know about other people but, I don't really think much of it. No. We do not say eh at the end of every sentence. I think mainly people in Newfoundland say it, but even there really. I have never, in my entire life, heard someone say eh, except when I was visiting America and they were mocking us about it. I really hoped this help you understand us a bit more! :) Love from Canada!

1) people talk about drama and Canadians don’t got drama😂😂 we get mad cause Americans are considered a rude country

The “Questions for Canadians” was a great episode and really enjoyed it. I have always liked and admired Canada and the diverse culture that makes it such a strong country. Canada is a self ruling sovereign state even though it is a member of the Commonwealth. Canada has its own Monarchy which has Queen Elizabeth as their Head of State. Her Majesty is the Canadian Queen, not a British Monarch ruling over another country. A fact that gets glossed over is that She is the Queen for 16 different Commonwealth countries. And she is that countries Queen. Sorry for the tirade Joel & Lia, but it was a statement in your piece about the connection of the Canadian and UK governments that you missed the connection. Thanks for producing your series.

I’ve found that the majority of French and French communities start in Ontario and continue east to Quebec and the maritimes. And the university I plan to go to next year is in a French community so they offer all programs in both French and English and they offer a lot of courses in Ojibway as well. French isn’t huge where I’m from but if you can speak it you’re more likely to get jobs and better scholarships. And a rep from the government came to our school to give a presentation and said that if 2 people apply for a job with all the same qualifications but one speaks French, they get the job. It’s a highly sought after skill. French is mandatory in school from grade 4-12 and a lot of schools have extended or immersion programs and the students graduate being certified bilingual (that’s what I did) and in those classes I found a major socioeconomic divide (at least at my elementary school, not secondary). Everyone in the ‘french program’ had families with higher incomes, they had higher grades, more athletic and more involved than those in ‘English program’ and there was a rivalry for a long time (it was quite dramatic)

Would love to provide answers to all your questions, I love how y’all ask questions without it being condescending at all

Bacon on anything... except maybe.... Pickles

I am a dual citizen Canadian and American, so I may have an interesting perspective! :P 1. I think it's a combination of Americans having a more in-your-face attitude whereas Canadians tending to be more polite. I kind of compare it to the relationship between Australia and New Zealand. I think it's also because the US has more money and plays a bigger role in the world economy, so the world watches what the US does more because it has more of a stake in it. And then finally, of course the US having a batshit crazy president doesn't hurt in terms of them taking up all the attention... :P As for why Canadians don't like it when they're assumed to be American, I think Canadians dislike it more that Americans are considered the default. It's fine if you can't hear the difference in our accents (there's definitely a difference. I can usually tell if someone is Canadian by hearing them talk, unless the American is from Minnesota, then all bets are off :P), but it doesn't hurt to ask. I could be wrong, but could it possibly be similar to someone from Northern Ireland being assumed to be from Dublin or something along those lines? I would also say, again with my analogy between Aus and New Zealand, that people from New Zealand probably get ticked off being assumed to be Australian. Their accents are different, but they're subtle enough that people not from there get them confused sometimes. Probably best just to ask rather than assume haha. 2. KD (Kraft Dinner) is delicious haha. It's just easy comfort food. Mix in some cut up hot dogs, maybe some ketchup. Yum! PS don't think Brits should start critiquing cuisine anytime soon :P Fun fact though, that image you put up of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is from America. In Canada it's called KD because it has so little real cheese that Canada says it can't be called mac and cheese or else it's false advertising, so went with calling it Kraft Dinner instead! Definitely kinda sketchy! 3. Justin Trudeau is cute, but he's actually not as popular in Canada as he is abroad! I don't know if he'll get re-elected! Guess a lot depends on who his competitors are... 4. Hawaiian pizza is disgusting. I lived in Hawaii for a few months, and no one eats it. I also saw in Canada something called "Hawaiian salad" that consisted of marshmallows and other weird ingredients! So gross! 5. I only have maple syrup on my pancakes. People aren't obsessed with eating it in my experience, it's just one of Canada's bigger exports I think. There are parts of the US that make it too though, like Vermont. 6. I don't know why haha. Universal health care, good education, natural beauty, nice people probably are contributors to it 7. Ooooh the French topic can be a touchy subject! Be careful with how you talk to Canadians about this one, especially where you are in Canada. I am by no means knowledgable on the subject, but you'll mostly see French spoken in Quebec, as well as in pockets in other provinces like Ontario and New Brunswick. Basically, a big part of Quebec becoming part of Canada was that it would maintain its French heritage. The Quebecois are very proud of their heritage, and consider themselves very distinct even from France. There have been attempts at being their own country as well. I love the unique culture Quebec brings to Canada, but not everyone agrees with me haha. And just a side note, because when I say I'm Canadian most people assume I speak French, the majority of Canadians actually are not fluent in French. You're much more likely to have a francophone who is also somewhat competent in English than vice versa. You have to learn it in school, but most people don't use it regularly enough to be able to be competent in holding a conversation. They also teach formal French in school, which is very different from how Quebecois speak it in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary (Quebecois use a ton of slang), so it's not really all that functional anyway. 8. I don't get the bagged milk thing either. It's pretty wasteful in my opinion. I don't like milk all that much though so not something I deal with all that much. 9. I like being in the commonwealth for personal reasons (my husband and I plan on moving to the UK next year and because we are citizens of the commonwealth and have British grandparents we are eligible for an ancestry visa which if we weren't citizens of a commonwealth country we would not be eligible for). But some people find it makes our government system kind of stupid (we have a governor general who is kind of like a stand in for the Crown?). I do think that aspect is a bit old-fashioned and silly, but nothing wrong with being proud of your history. 10. I hear more rural Canadians say "eh" more frequently than urban Canadians, but even then you will hear it more frequently than anywhere else. What I think it universal to Canadians is we say "sorry" a lot! A tip for determining if it's a Canadian or an American, have them say "sorry" and 9 times out of 10 there will be a clear difference. Canadians say "SO-rry" while Americans say "SA-rry" (like an Indian sari).

Fun video! Thanks. I'm Canadian, living in Japan. 1. I personally am not offended when people call me American. Truth be told, we do sound the same and There are 10 times my re Americans in the world. 2. Kraft salad dressing is okay but Kraft Dinner is awful. My half-Japanese children won't eat it. .3. The PM? Glad you like him. He's lost his shine. I find him a pretty boy heavy on platitudes and light on content. A regular politician with a pretty face. Recently, two of his senior female cabinet ministers and one female MP have resigned because the PM got angry because they wouldn't listen to him. 4. Poutine is great! It's a great Quebecois dish! You can't hate French Canadians and love poutine..... Well you can, but it's hypocritical. 5. French is great! I love speaking French! Can be used all over the world. I live the fact that Brits use so many French words... Aubergine... Courgette.... Why don't the upper-classes in the UK speak Angli-Norman anymore? Such a shame... 6. Maple Syrup is used a lot in Eastern Canada.... Québec and parts of Ontario.... Great in cookies and pies too if you like baking. 7. I believe plastic milk bags are common only in Eastern Canada. Live the word "tetra-pack"! 8. My grandmother's generation we're proud of being British in Canada.... United Empire Loyalist heritage. The younger generation couldn't care less either way... 9. I didn't say 'eh" but my sister died all the time... Sounds cute! Thanks again! Thank again!

What actually happens when making maple syrup is, procedure:you tap some sort of little thing in the maple tree which you attach a bucket too. Then you wait some time and maple water comes out. You then have to filter the water to make sure no bugs or stuff are in it. Lastly, you boil it until it reaches a thick sweet consistency, aka, maple syrup.

1.Canadians kick USA hockey but. 2. Canadians have accent diversity just like the USA AND the UK. Someone from Liverpool doesn't sound like someone from Sussex.

In the words of the Prime Minister, WHY is exactly one of the reasons we have so many women in Parliment. 5. Pineapple is delicious. 6. French is party of our history and culture. Leave it be. 7. We have carton milk but you get more and for less money in bagged milk. Also, more recyclable. 8. The Commonwealth is cool, the royal family are like classy Kardashian's at this point. Not exactly major. 9. Eh slips out sometimes, just like sorry does but it's not as frequent as marketed.

Bagged milk is only sold in the east of Canada and normal carton milk is sold in the west. Ive heard that they break the bag and put it in a pitcher. Also french is only spoken in Quebec yet everything has to be in french and English (mainly store items}. and yes we say eh? alot

And when milk is in a bag it’s meant to last a long time cuz it comes with three bags of milk and it’s usually cheap

French is predominantly used in Quebec and in some specific areas in Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, but for the majority of Canada, only English is spoken. Kraft Dinner (as it is called in Canada vs 'Kraft Macaroni and Cheese' in the US) is loved by Canadians. I don't eat it and haven't eaten it for a very long time. I think it's sorta seen as comfort food by some. Re: pineapple on pizza, we're sorry about that. Oops. Fun fact, California Roll (sushi) is invented in Vancouver, Canada, not in California.

Oh yeah, maple syrup is probably consumed as often as you have pancakes or waffles so not that often, unless you eat pancakes or waffles a lot. LOL.

Bagged milk came into being when an individual placed gasoline into a reusable container and as a result a child died from poisoning. So saftey is the main reason. Also there is less landfill.

Bagged milk is just a more efficient and clean way to package milk, the bags are both recyclable and are usually made from recycled waste plastic. Cartons require more energy to produce and keep in shape and aren't as easily recycled because of the wax inside and the ink branding.

I think the reason we like KD (kraft) so much is because we grow up eating it so it tastes like home. And to answer how much we eat maple syrup, we eat it all the time. It's like our sugar.(maple syrup does not come right out of the tree, the sap does which you then boil down into maple syrup. It takes about 40 litters of sap, to make 1 liter of maple syrup) we have bagged milk because it uses less material and has less weight(cardboard milk cartains are not recycled because of the plastic liner) So they ship cheaper, you buy the bags but you have a container for the bagged milk that you reuse (you just cut the bags corner to pour), and yes we say eh. We don't realize but now that I think of it we really do.

To respond to your question about milk contenants, it had begin when we change the imperial system used in de UK (1/4 pt, 1/2 pt, 1 pt and 1 gallon), for the international metric system. Now we have 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 liter, 2 liters and 4 liters. The first four are sold in carton contenants and the four liters is sold in three separated bags of 1.33 liter because they are more practical to use. Imagine a ten years old kid who is pooring himself a glasse of milk using a big jar of 4 liters, it will not be easy for him and there's a good chance that it will make a mess...

They have some French communities all over Canada, but most are in Quebec. In the US, there are some native French speakers in Maine and Louisiana.

You are mistaken. We tap into trees and out comes maple sap, which has very much the consistency of water. After you get a bucket full, then you put it in a pot over a fire to evaporate a lot of the water, and it boils down to the sweet syrup. The syrup does not come directly out of the maple tree.

You're right Joel, maple syrup is taped from maple trees and then cooked down to a syrup. I have friends in Pennsylvania who do this on their property and it is fabulous! You would love it Joel!

There you go again being a hoot, but you probably pissed of a bunch of people in Quebec. A few years ago there was a separatist movement by people ,mostly in Quebec , that wanted that province to be a French speaking country. There was a vote which failed but I imagine there are still a number of people who still want it.

There is still a separatist-nationalist movement in Quebec, which explains the continued existence of the Parti Québecois. It's not as actively separatist as it once was, but it's still there. To put it in a British context, think of the Scottish independence movement and the SNP

Fun video! As a Canadian (about to move to London - 2 weeks yay!) I'll do my best to answer these for you 1. Canada has about a tenth of the population of the USA (less than the population of California alone) - fewer people = less drama on the world stage. Canada has regional accents the same as any country, so we don't all sound the same ;) but I think the offence taken has a lot to do with world perception. I would say Canada has a better reputation, so as a Canadian, why would I want to be associated with our rouge southern neighbours. Would you correct someone if they thought you were Irish or South African? 2. No idea - Kraft M&C is gross.. 3. Yay! Go women in powerful positions! We can still use more! 4. Agreed, pineapple on pizza is gross.... Undo! 5. Not much maple syrup consumption, just on pancakes/waffles and the like. Sometimes will with put in on bacon too, yum yum. Side note Vermont in the USA produces a lot of maple syrup too (the trees don't respect our boarders, rude!) but Canadian is totally superior ;) 6. Lots of fresh air, lakes, mountains, and sunshine = Happiness. 7. A former PM passed a law for Canada to have 2 official languages, English and French, so it will never go away now. About 20% of our population speaks French as their first language and most of them live in the province of Quebec (Montreal is in Quebec). In all other provinces and territories the dominant language is English. 8. I have only ever lived in western Canada (BC, Alberta, Yukon)and have never had my milk in a bag, it's always been in cartons or plastic jugs. It must be a regional thing. Side note - we say tetra pak too, but in general only when referring to the empty containers. 9. The commonwealth has made getting work visas super easy for me (Australia and UK), so thats awesome. My opinion is: I like and am interested in the Royal Family, but if they ever tried to stop our government from passing our own laws, I would not be ok with that. They technically do have this power, but I don't think have ever exercised it. 10. 'Eh' is a regional thing (second largest country in the world - loads of regional dialects) - particularly in the maritimes and far east. Lots on Canadians say 'hey' instead of 'eh'. That was a good Q and A, hey? See what I did there :) All the best Xo

The last time the monarch refused to sign a bill into law was 1707, and even then it was because it was quicker for the Government to just ask for it to be vetoed. So there's nothing to worry about there. Even the last time a monarch used that power of their own accord was to stop a law that would have meant that only people who owned land could be an MP.

Yo hoooooooold up. KD is blessed, especially when it's piping hot & fresh from the pot. It's cheap, tasty and fills me up for the price of a Toonie. Though, President's Choice White Cheddar is starting to become my new favourite.

The best syrup comes from Vermont. Maple syrup was discovered by Native Americans. You need to have many Maple trees at a northern latitude to get the sap to flow on warm, sunny days in the Springtime.

American here who is in frequent contact with Canadians. "Oot and aboot" is definitely an exaggeration, but these words can be shaded in that direction relative to American pronunciation. It may have to do with the Scottish heritage of early Canada. The most reliable tell for a Canadian vs. American is that Canadians say "project" and "process" with an actual "o", compared to American prah-ject and prah-cess.

As a Canadian (who happens to have mostly Scots ancestry) I can tell you that the "oot and aboot" thing is absolutely the result of Canada's Scottish heritage. Sometimes, if you listen very carefully to how Canadians speak and then compare it to how the Scots speak, you can hear a slight lilt.

My cousins are Canadian and they say 'aboot,' etc . . . Actually, I'm seriously thinking of moving there, I think they're more sensible as a whole.

English Canada is very close to the US in language and culture. Going back to the revolution, in 1783, many Americans who were loyal to the crown went to the Maritimes, Ontario, and Quebec to start new lives. In the 1890s in particular, a lot of their descendants returned to the US. Three of my great grandparents were born in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. So, many Canadians and Americans are cousins (just as many are with the British--in fact, many Americans are genetically more British than many people in Britain). In addition, there has been a flow of French Canadians into New England, and in Maine, for example, we can hear people speaking French in many places. Anyway--not to go on too long--there is much to admire about Canada, and I feel a kinship with the Canadian people as well as the British. I love you two and your videos.

🇨🇦First of all we still speak french because we have two provinces (Quebec and New Brunswick) where their first language is French and also because french is one of our official languages Ok so almost all over Canada it's necessary to take french in school as a second language (if your not in Quebec) which means there's a lot of people who actually hate french because they being forced to learn it. Outside of the major french areas (Quebec, New Brunswick) there isn't very many places that speak just french meaning not too many people get asked "can just speak English please". Also something that I've found in Quebec is that they get really annoyed/ laugh at you when you are an anglophone trying to speak french so they'll just switch automatically to english it's kind of frustrating especially when your actually trying to learn the language.

Quebec is over 80% French speaking. New Brunswick is 30%. Ontario about 5%, mostly in the north of the province.

Canadians commonly end sentences with the interjection “eh.” The interjection “eh” can mean many different things in English though, from “Excuse me,” to “Please repeat that,” or “huh? I didn’t understand.” But the Canadian “eh” doesn’t usually mean any of these things. In Canada “eh” is added to the end of statements for these reasons: 1) to check if a listener is understanding and listening to what one is saying; 2) to check for the listener’s continued interest; 3) to check for agreement; 4) to add emphasis to what one is saying; and 5) to turn a declarative sentence into a question (when this is done the “eh” is used to make a tag question, almost like a spoken question mark.

Q1: we have a lot more of a subdued sort of cultural identity, not as in your face as the US which means when that country is your neighbour, you get overshadowed a lot, this coupled with the fact we are a junior trade partner to them Q2: it’s very important, we know how to get it just right, also the stuff in England and elsewhere probably doesn’t taste as good. It’s also pretty quick and easy if you know what you’re doing Q3: I don’t know, there are a lot of Canadians who would disagree pretty heavily Q4: it’s a matter of personal preference, sweet and savoury sort of deal. I’m honestly indifferent to it Q5: often if there’s a breakfast it’ll be there (sometimes we put it on eggs or sausage as well) and for quite a few desserts we eat it as well. Short answer, quite a lot, more than on just pancakes and waffles Q6: probably an additive to the maple syrup makes us happier, but we aren’t allowed to show the process of maple syrup refining, state secrets and whatnot Q7: I’m from the west coast and French is almost never spoken outside a French immersion or French class environment. It’s basically just the east, especially Québec as they really prefer to preserve their heritage and will demand you speak French in Québec Q8: again, the bagged milk is mainly an east thing, out west we have solid cartons, but the bags are a bit cheaper and easier to store if I’m correct, maybe someone from like Saskatchewan east can clarify Q9: I personally like being part of the commonwealth, a greater sense of community and cooperation is excellent Q10: yes, a lot of us do finish sentences with eh. Not all of us, but a lot of us

Bagged milk from my knowledge is only in eastern Canada, and it’s only in the big cities, but we also have it in cartons and jugs. Even in the cities with bagged milk most people just buy the cartons anyway.

We say eh and it’s slang for huh or you think and we don’t say it at the end of every sentence

Being from the UK I think canada is so happy because its so colourful colour there like the buildings and houses then you have the beautiful nature and the SUNSINE!! loved working there for a few years. Great country and most importantly it has some of the coolest and most friendly people in the world

its literally like oh we are in french land now...

Bag milk was done when we switched to metric...it was less expensive to do this than change all the machinery at that time. Now we have tetrapacks as well as bags.
