Hey guys. so, I got a bit of a confession to make....something
that most people don't know about me.... hell, even my parents don't know this about
me. Well that's just a straight up lie. I'm Canadian.
The thing about being Canadian is that I feel like a lot of people think us Canadians are
basically just Americans who are overly nice and have free healthcare,
but in thinking that.. you're wrong. For example, most of the world uses the metric
system. Canada included! But our neighbours down south however,
they don't. And because we're so close to them, As a Canadian, that can make things
pretty confusing.
Woah you sure you want to go out dressed like, that? It's like 30 degrees out there.
wait really? But it's winter!
what? No i meant in farehne-
global warming! Well damn I'm not complaining!
Another problem that I feel only Canadian's really have is, our money. While there's nothing
necessarily wrong with it, it looks funny and kinda smells like maple syrup.
I'm not joking, it actually smells like maple syrup. My American friends will make fun of
it, which I don't really get why because their
money is boring and all the same color, whereas ours is colorful and kinda looks like
monopoly money. I don't get what's not to like. It's also basically indestructable,
which is awesome if someone's trying to destroy our
money. It's not really a situation that I'm familiar with, but I imagine it'd play out
something like this.
heh, nice bill IDIOT. gimme this.
you know that's waterproof right?
...pft of course I know that, check this out.
do you need scissors?
yeah I need scissors. thank you.
Beyond that, anyone who ever hears I'm Canadian will always follow up with "say something
in french." I think people need to understand that not
all Canadians know french. Sure, it's a class that
all canadian students have to take up until a point, but like any of the things I've learned
from any of my classes, I'm gonna forget it the
second I've passed. Unless you're a pretty girl. Then for
whatever reason, french just comes back to me.
wait so you're canadian?? oh my god say something in french hehe
Est-ce que je peux aller aux toilettes?
hehe, wait did you just say the word toilet?
what? uhhh nope. definitely didn't say that.
uh, yeah you did. you just said toilet.
OH that. Okay no, what I said was.. is that you look better than..the..finest of toilets
..thanks?
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this next problem applied to a lot of other nationalities,
but whenever I'm online, the only politics that I'm hearing
about, is American. If someone says they're running for president, it is an international
trending topic. Obama telling a joke is on every website in seconds and gets millions
of hits. Nobody's ever really talking about canadian politics. And if I'm
being perfectly honest, I don't really know a whole lot. Until someone starts doing crack,
no one seems to care.
Hey. Mind if I throw the news on? Stephen Harpers about to say something.
Stephen, stephen, stephen...... did we go to school with him?
No he's our prime minister.
See you're saying that it's a thing I'm supposed
to know.. The guy that runs our country?
Well I bet that's news to our president. ..this guy.
And I don't know if this next problem even applies to other people or if it's just me,
but I don't know anything about hockey, and as a Canadian, that's just straight up
offensive to my people.
Yo did you guys catch the habs game last night?
..yeah... it was so good.
..do you guys not watch hockey?
wha- me? No, I love hockey!
yeah we both do. touchdown!
..alright get out of my house.
touche'. Yeah, I'm just gonna.
Yeah, so being Canadian's not easy. I love it, but it's not easy. Anyways those are just
some problems that I've experienced as a Canadian, but every nationality
has it's own issues so I want to hear yours! Where are you from, and what kind of stereotypes
do you deal with? Let me know in the comments below and if you enjoyed
this video, give it a thumbs up to let me know. If we could reach 2,000 thumbs up....
that'd be really sweet. Subscribe to me if you haven't already,
and with all that being said, I'll see you guys next week?!
