I once drove across Canada in late March, from Toronto to Vancouver, in a U-HAUL. It took 5 days and was GORGEOUS. We drove across the Trans-Canada Highway. We stopped at every "stop of interest", every hokey "attraction" and every A&W fast food joint (my friend was obsessed with their rootbeer and burgers). I would totally do it again, though I would go in May or June next time. (We got caught in a white-out blizzard between Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba.) The scenery constantly changes though it was a bit samey-same in parts of Saskatchewan. Do it up properly, though- drive from the Maritimes to B.C. Trip of a lifetime.

My experience [born in 1959 to early settlers of Canada} Canadian food is Multi-cultural along with the importance of things like the Canadian Food Guide, ensuring good health when followed. As a Canadian, I eat close to the earth, Love flavour from spice or herb {from the garden} ~~~~

the hosts at 2:23 are Regis and Kathie Lee one time they did there show in Niagara Falls Canada in the 90's Kathie said how beautiful the Canadian side was compared to the American side she got in to trouble for saying that from the Americans watching the show and they wanted an apology from her she had defend her self and explain why she said that

Canadian barbecue cooking is done in December, wearing a parka, taking a windshield wiper to push the snow off the cover of the barbecue first and hoping up and down while waiting for the stove to warm up.

I am keen to see your reactions to Kids in the Hall comedy sketch show and Schitt's Creek sitcom. You might love them. Not as heavy on self-deprecating humour but similar in kind. One showcases a delight in the absurd and the other is a masterful mix of kindness and wit (led by Dan Levy in collaboration with his dad Eugene Levy and featuring the great Catherine O'Hara).

@@Mertsalihcan. Have you ever seen Howie Mandel? Like other famous Canadians, he is based in the U.S.

The best American comedian on Canada in my experience is Jim Gaffigan. He’s funny and did some homework. But one of my favourite bits is Jim Jefferies doing a Canadian doctor in his Freedumb routine. That whole show is hilarious.

It depends on where you are in Canada when it comes to grey weather. I live in Edmonton and we get a lot of sun all year round, it fakes you out a little bit in winter because it looks like a nice sunny day but when you check the weather network it is -30. I like it though.

Montreal gets cold in winter. So cold the largest underground city in the world is under Montreal.

The further north you go in Canada the shorter the winter days get and winter is long. Where I live if you go to work at 8 and come home at 4 you will not be seeing the sun until the weekend for a good while. Conversely the opposite happens with longer days and it doesn't get fully dark in the middle of summer but summers are short.

(A lot of) Canadians take pride in BBQing all year through. Minus 30 in February and want a steak? Shovel a path to the grill, get it hot, boots, toque, mitts and a spatula and this is going to happen! Should I tinfoil some onions and mushrooms too? Ha!

Why?

We love Bill Burr in Canada. It drives me crazy that people from other countries think Canada is always cold. In the winter it gets cold and definitely some places more than others. A lot of us who live in the prairies where is gets really cold book one or two winter vacations to tropical destinations. Something we look forward to. In the Canadian prairies it is sunny most of the year hot or cold. It's been 30 degree celcius for a while now, hot and very humid. Many, many days of plus 30 degrees in our summers. April -Aug sun up at like 5-6am and sets at 10-11pm. BBQ is popular in Canada in the summer.I have road tripped along the Transcanada highway from Vancouver to PEI. From Toronto to Winnipeg there is a lot of forest but veer off and explore areas of the Canadian Shield Lake Superior or Kenora or The Whiteshell and Lake Winnipeg with its miles and miles of soft sand beaches. If you just stay on the highway traversing from east to west without exploring you are missing out on some gorgeus parts of the country. Canada is a country to explore.

33 today with the humidex, and it isn't even summer yet! I remember being at school as a child. And tbh it only got stinko hot towards the very end of school, which was somewhere in the last week of June. No, we had no a/c nor huge amounts of heat in the winter. It was a big old school built in 1860 and it was usually always temperate in the building. Exterior walls were 2-3' thick.

I was born in Winnipeg. Is it that cold? Well yes, but it's a dry cold.

Lewis Black's part was spot on except for the weather part. We have alot of sun, all year.

So I am a residential complex landscape maintenance worker all over the Vancouver area. Almost 20 years. I see countless patios and backyards. Thousands. MOST of them have a BBQ. So do I.

The clean-shaven guy in the white shirt and hardhat was called "Winston Rothschild I of Rothschild's Sewage and Septic Sucking Services!" His commercial for his business will be with me until I die! "Is the ground around your place getting kinda soft? Do you take a deep breath and start to cough? Do the cows roll their eyes and barf in the trough? Better call Rothschild's before the lid blows off!"

True- there is nothing between Toronto and Thunder Bay, and just flat prairie between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg. I love it! I love the unending expanse of the endless prairie skies, the waving fields of grain, the winds blowing from the mountains to the west...yup, pure land, not a tree in sight...a place where you can watch your dog run away for three days...hee hee hee

Canadians complain about the weather alot. For good reason. There are places in Canada where the weather goes like this; Gray winter, freeze your ass off winter, gray winter, 10 minutes of spring (yeah! ), black fly season, frying hot summer, fall with beautiful leaves for 2 weeks, sleet on Halloween, gray winter.

Jim Carey was spot on....For some reason the people in the U.S. seem to think they need to bring their guns with them. Unfortunately when they get to the Canadian border they cannot figure out they cant bring them into our country. I have been asked how do I protect myself?

Gotta see Nova Scotia! If you skip the Atlantic provinces, you’re missing the best part of the country😍💙🤍

If I may suggest, outside of your requested area of input, a film I think you might find fascinating. As a Canadian, it isn't often I seek out Scottish media specifically, but I did in this case. The film is called, 'The Hector: From Scotland to Nova Scotia' (2017). The documentary details the arrival of the first 200 Scottish settlers onto what was then the undeveloped shores of the land they called New Scotland. Fascinating story, and a really well done documentary as well. BBC Scotland was the primary producer, but from my understanding, other Scottish media sources were involved as well. Keep up the wonderful work! Cheers from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, AKA, the furthest southern city in the country (we're on the same latitude as northern California.) It's also the only place in Canada where you look north to see the USA (specifically, the city of Detroit, Michigan.)

Lewis Black says "I wanted to tour your entire country." Ottawa is in Eastern Ontario, but there are five whole provinces east of there, not to mention the terrotories to the north! It's annoying when people say they've been across the whole country, but exclude anything east or north of Ontario. It's like saying someone toured the U.K., but never left Kent! Lol

Our favourite pastime is effing with our 'Merican neighbours' utter lack of knowledge of not only us but the rest of the world. All in good fun, though. "Talking To Americans" is based on this.😊

I've driven across our country and back through the US many times and it's wonderful. It's long... but the changes of vegetation, weather, etc. was quite interesting and sometimes instant as we crossed the provincial border. It's long and flat in the prairies; down south they have desert and cacti which was a shock and surreal to see as well. Oh in Nova Scotia, we stopped by the sea and experiences clapping stones; naturally from the combination of the waves and the stones. Hubby and I took a few bows 😊

You know why Canadians don't get cold in the winter? Because we wear layers! It's not like we have an extra layer of subcutaneous fat!

I've travelled lots of places around the world and I've been across Canada at least 30 times, and NOWHERE is as dark and depressing looking as Scotland. And Glasgow is the worst of all. Contary to Lewis Black, Canada is not grey and dark and I don't know anywhere in Canada that averages minus 30-50 in the winter. I spent a few weeks this winter in Whitehorse and it was beautiful. As for Canadian comedians: I think Shaun Majumder is one of my favourites -- he's from Newfoundland and Labrador.

FYI. His reference to the kiss and squirrel was regarding the Rocky and Bul,Winkle show in Canada 🍁

Bill Burr is great, he rocks the just for laughs festival in Montreal all the time

I'm proud of Jim!!! His story is very deep.

That last guy was bringing a cloud with him. It’s bright and sunny for the rest of us. That’s the USA baby.

The Kids in the Hall: David Foley, Scott Thompson, Kevin Macdonald, Mark McKinnley, Bruce McClouth. Great show.

Moose and Deer are not active except at dawn and dusk, which makes hiway driving treacherous at those times. A moose is as big as a semi, and can jump onto the hiway with no warning. The unlucky person who hits a moose is the big loser, with likelihood of losing their life, and definitely totalling their vehicle. So he probably didn't travel at either dawn or dusk. Also, when the temps are so cold, we have clear blue skies. Manitoba and Saskatchewan are the sunniest provinces in the country, because our summers are dry and our winters are cold; hence blue skies for 320/365 days of the year, which is really nice. Also, driving through the Canadian Shield is breathtaking. Saskatchewan has badlands, which is a unique landscape. I think it's a testament to some people that they hold to a specific notion of beauty, and if something doesn't line up with their linear definition of beauty, they deem it ugly or uninteresting. Is a desert ugly, or is it interesting? Manitoba has a desert. It's called the Spirit Sands and is quite unique. Ah, well....we're better off with few people knowing about us. It keeps our land free of crowds.
