Oh, look at that.
So I live in Canada and as a Canadian, one thing I find
is that people get us confused with Americans, a lot.
But aren't Canada and America basically the same country?
No, no, no.
So if that's you, you need to keep watching
because I am about to give you the ten biggest differences
between Canadians and Americans.
Just keep watching the video so I can educate you.
(Arnold Schwarzenegger yell)
America has a president, Canada has a Prime Minister.
America chooses their leader from
one of two political parties.
Canada chooses from five.
Yes, it's annoying that we have five, but it's Canada.
We give everyone a fair shot, eh?
Even the Parti Citron, which translates to Lemon Party.
Yep, Canada once had a lemon party.
I'd hate to see that caucus.
America uses the U.S. dollar,
Canada uses the Canadian dollar.
Yes, they are different currencies.
Here's a picture to prove it.
We even have a $2 coin.
I see you, Rich Uncle Pennybags.
Yes, I know Canadian money looks like Monopoly money.
That joke never gets old.
Canadians often leave the doors to their homes unlocked.
Not the same in America,
likely because most people have guns
and the crime rate is much higher.
Actually, that's not entirely fair.
We do have crime here in Canada.
The only difference is if a robber walked into our house,
we would most likely offer him a beer ask him to stay
and watch the Leafs game. eh?
Canadians and Americans spell and say
some very key things differently.
In Canada, we say pop.
In America, they say soda.
In Canada, we say letter zed.
In America, they say "zee".
In Canada, we love the letter "U"
and we use it in many words like
"honour", "labour", "valour",
but in America, they drop the "U"
and cut straight to the chase.
'Merica!
And, of course and Canadian that travels south of the border
is going to get razzed by the way that we pronounce "about",
Which sometimes comes out as "aboot"
and yes, we say "eh" a lot, eh?
America's national animal is the Bald Eagle,
majestic, strong and proud.
Canada's national animal is the beaver,
strong and hard working.
And I know what you might be thinking.
A beaver?
Why did they go and make that their national animal?
Well, if you are not Canadian,
it's kind of hard to explain to you,
but let's just say, in Canada we love our beaver.

American and Canadian landscapes are very different.
America has states, 50 of them.
Canada has provinces, ten of them.
Canada has a population of 36 million,
America has a population of 316 million.
And America has deserts.
Canada has tundras.
What's the main difference between the two?
Well, basically theirs is full of strippers
and slot machines and ours is full of
ice and wolves, mostly.
America spends trillions of dollars on their military
and has one of the biggest in the world to show for it.
In Canada, we spend most of our tax dollars
on universal health care.
You know, we still have an army.
It get's the job done.
America gets a bad rap for having a lot of rude people.
Canada, not so much, but that's just the world's perception.
Believe me when I say that we have rude people in Canada.
The only difference is that, you know, we apologize for it.
We pretty much apologize for everything.
The way that America and Canada measures things
is very different and often causes a lot of confusion.
For example, Canada measures distance in kilometers.
America uses miles.
Canada's weather is measured in Celsius,
America, Fahrenheit.
The confusion part comes in when a Canadian
is talking to an American, because for example,
a 30 degree day in Canada is a hot, summer day.
In America, that's freezing cold.
Maybe that's why they think we have polar bears
and igloos everywhere.
And finally, America's milk comes in jugs.
In Canada, our milk comes in bags.
What, a bag of milk?
I know, right?
(explosion sound)
Ya, seriously, a lot of Americans don't know this.
Our milk comes in bags.
You can buy like three of these
and it's like, you know four bucks
or something like that.
Yeah, comes in bags.
Wow, it's like a plastic booby, right?
So those are the ten biggest differences
between Canadians and Americans
and I hope that at least cleared up some things
for some of you and if it didn't well, sorry about that, eh?
