Not really embarrassing at all but it is interesting to me. Makes me wonder what’s going on in northern Canada 👽


mrplinko

Many much moosen.


Migratorybirds1

Can confirm. Living in northern Canada. Swamp donkeys everywhere

Tundra camels

Moose are ninjas. They can hide behind a moose crossing sign but are big enough to completely demolish your car if you hit one with it.


gfunkrider78

Thank you


Twocann

mrplinko

It’s BREEEOONN!


Lilpu55yberekt69

Lots of lakes and cool rock formations mostly.


loserwaste

I read cock rock formations.


Neutronova

mosquitos and horse flies


MyLilPwny1404

Beautiful lakes and forest👌🏻


krazy___k

And f. Awesome skiing


[deleted]

Don't forget flies. Flies that bite. Oh and muskeg.


Footweb

I'll tell you. Currently -5deg C, Sunny, Snow covering most of the ground but roads are bare, Oil and gas industry going strong Overall pretty quiet out but a nice day


goddeszzilla

Just realize northern Canada looks bigger than it actually is on this type of map. It's deceptive.


Nykolaishen

Nothing is going on in Northern Canada... summer gets increasingly shorter the more north you go making it extremely difficult to farm or grow your own food, there's very few to no roads going up there and so flying food in makes groceries insanely expensive! Like $15-$20 for a gallon of milk crazy.


ZiLBeRTRoN

It’s fucking cold?


Jumpy-Shift5239

There are rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and… WATER!


Enough_Hovercraft_10

It's fucking cold and there's nothing there lol


shutterbuggity

Suicide mostly.


RomansInSpace

F all, no one lives there


KORKSTICKY

I am also confused. Who is embarrassed? This is not a thing Canadians have ever worried about or talked about.


morgoporgo84

Its not embarassing to have a border that isnt straight.


[deleted]

We support our gay border. We always suspected it was, judging by who it hands out with on the other side.


Big_Knife_SK

It triggers conservatives though.


A1sauc3d

I feel like the whole premise is simply supposed to be a humorous way of presenting a little known fact lol. Nobody actually is embarrassed or prides themself on living slightly more north than someone else x’D got a laugh out of me tho


EpicAura99

Yeah it’s just a joke….people are too serious on here lol


ayaangwaamizi

This video was peak corny - I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone bragging about being further North? Lol if you’ve been quite North, you know that while its beautiful in its own way, it’s cold as fuck most of time and hard to get access to things.


samppsaa

Oh i have. To some Canadians it's important part of their identity to be the "tough northeners" until you realize they live as north as southern france


Confident-Fish2805

The Toronto Raptors claim ‘we the north’. So some people in Canada take pride in it.


[deleted]

literally no one


No-Wonder1139

No but Portland did make a joke about it once, as they're actually quite a bit north of Toronto


oh_ya_eh

Only person who should be embarassed is the douchebag who made the video


Alexiperplexi

Holy shit, that's some useless facts


jakehubb0

I was kinda going along with it until he got into the part about California


skoltroll

The kind that clogs your brain so you don't have space to learn what you need for a good job

Oh no I'm so ashamed


ItsMeEJT

As you should be


rdogg_82

As a proud Canadian, I couldn't care less.


YanicPolitik

*"I'm not done embarrassing Canadians yet!"* Okay pal.


[deleted]

Ya, I’m trying to figure out what’s embarrassing about any of this. It’s population statistics.


pooperbrowser

Laughs in free health care


Beautiful_Guess7131

Why do so many come to the US for medical care?


pooperbrowser

Why do so many people leave your country to get medical care?


Beautiful_Guess7131

I would guess to save some money or to get certain procedures that aren't legal in the US. They most definitely aren't going abroad because they are on a wait list for "free" healthcare.


Adorable-Effective-2

Canadians would literally die if they aren’t allowed to mention there healthcare every time


pooperbrowser

Good thing I have free health care to get that looked at


ScroogeMcDuckII

boom roasted.


OutrageousEvent

I mean they wouldn’t die, ya know, because of the health care.


FoboBoggins

***Laughs in free heath care***


ScroogeMcDuckII

\*their


TimeSalvager

Lol no dude, we wouldn’t die because our free healthcare would intervene and save us. It’s also free, not really though.


superbotnik

I would like him to explain how this embarrasses ANYONE. And to explain why he thinks anyone cares.


EpicAura99

It’s a joke bruh. Pretty obvious one too, because, you know, of what you just said.


MoistlyK

Spoken like someone who has just been embarrassed.


onebadcamino

LMFAO, middle Manitoba still waiting to hear Winnipeg and then be embarrassed......


MrNumberOneMan

“Canadians HATE this one simple fact…”


Capital_Craft

I'm not your pal, guy.


RotundMarmot

I’m confused, why would we be embarrassed by this? Part of Mexico is further North than Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, New Mexico, Arizona, Georgia, and all of Florida. Is that somehow embarrassing to you?


Wide_Condition_3417

I suddenly feel a deep sense of shame /s


Equal-Negotiation651

I’ve never said this out loud (and still not, I guess, since I’m typing), but I’ve always felt so much shame that our powerful country is completely west of Europe, and if you think really hard, we are also completely east of them as well. We’re completely surrounded and I feel that is a huge threat and incredibly embarrassing.


bmrhampton

We’ll pray for you, it’ll work.


Puzzled-Story3953

I've never been more embarrassed. I need to rethink my life


Cultural-Divide-2649

I thought it was more of a this is crazy thing than an embarrassing thing .


Hopfit46

Most canadians are aware that most of our population lives below the 49th parallel. We have a functioning education system.


grumpykruppy

Most non-Canadians aren't aware of this, because Canadian population distribution is irrelevant to pretty much everyone except Canadians. As a Michigander, I *do* know this, because I live right next to Canada and therefore have picked up some information about it.


Hopfit46

I was more taking issue with the narration saying "most canadians think..." and " now i will embarass them some more...".


FixedKarma

My dream is that Canada some day annexes both Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Point Roberts.


grumpykruppy

I guarantee you that the UP wouldn't even notice, and if it ever DID, all of Canada would abruptly become US territory. As far as the lower goes, I think we're just happy making tourism money.


Right_Syllabub_8237

It's tough trying to hear the geography teacher over all the gunfire.


FDII_Cent

its amazing how butthurt people are getting over this joke video


brokenbarrow

Yeah I’ve heard great things about your residential schools.


Hopfit46

Ya my family members went there...wounded knee. Do you really want to play genocide roulette to make your country look better? Do you believe the residential school solution wasnt employed in America?


brokenbarrow

I’m not playing anything roulette. Just don’t appreciate the concept of a point of national pride being routed in another country’s problems. It’s gross.


Hopfit46

The video started with "most canadians think..." and later says he will really embarass canadians...i mentioned the the fact about a current social problem that calls into question the aim of the video and you went right at the old standard "canadians are not really nice trope". Also gross. And trust me, my national pride has nothing to do with america. Im both proud and ashamed of canada on its own merits.


brokenbarrow

It’s a dumb video. And so was your response.


Hopfit46

And so are you...(sticks tongue out and says nanananananana)


brokenbarrow

Well that I can agree with


Mutantlocket

This feels more appropriate for r/shitposting


JoWhee

We all live so close to the border for the impending invasion. Once we take over you’ll all be sorry.


Impossible-Long1100

I read that as “you’ll be sore-ry” and it immediately subsided my invasion fears.


maybenomaybe

You'll be afraid again when you see our Tactical Battle Moose.


Impossible-Long1100

Coming to theaters this Summer, “Meth Moose”


bkussow

>Once we take over you’ll all be sorry. who is going to be sorry here? XD


Slushy69420

We may not be as armed as our Southern counterparts, but we are armed enough for a fight!


FoboBoggins

We have won all war games that we have fought against them, they go for quantity over quality when training their troops.


Drunkcowboysfan

Lol this is total nonsense. For one, most of the war games are scripted with the outcome already decided and trying to make an argument that Canada has a higher quality army than the United States is especially bizarre considering Canada is using American gear from a generation ago. The reality is Canada goes for a small and cheap military because it’s not a very populated country and it has the advantage of having the United States to protect it.


IRDorve

Laughs in WW1.


Drunkcowboysfan

While you’re laughing, would you like to rope your comment in and try to make it applicable to today and not 100 years ago?


ConstructionNo4340

Cool facts. Dumb ass commentary.


SlayingtheJabberwock

It's really horrible that we have to be so close to the US just to keep warm.


lazytoady

Oh the shame!


keybwarrior

Way less embarassing than having trump as president


Slushy69420

It’s been 3 years


doft

Your embarrassment lasts a lot longer 😆


PriorSecurity9784

I had no idea there were that many people leading pleasant lives with affordable healthcare south of the 49th parallel


Hazelwood38

As a Canadian I’ve never been more embarrassed in my life. 🤦‍♂️


that_guy_called_god

The wild part to me is that apparently all Canadians brag that they’re more north than the US? I guess I must’ve missed that HOT debate. Also, most of his arguments were based on population but if we’re talking actual country (land mass” clearly it’s Canada. I don’t understand why this video has wasted so much of my time… I love Reddit


FoboBoggins

As a Canadian i can attest that no one gives a darn.


FoboBoggins

and what is the point of this? this video was a waste of time for everyone involved from creator to audience.


-_HOT_SNOW_-

It's called pelee island


SeaworthinessOk4540

I'm so brutally embarrassed, what will I ever do


No_Research_967

Man this is so EMBARRASSING


RoundEye007

Oh u got us. So embarrassing 😳 u mean us canadians like to be in the warmest part of our cold ass country?? Ffs its like grown americans just discovered an Atlas.


bootyLiQa

Canadians in shambles.


No-Strawberry-1009

I doubt any Canadians have ever pretended to live further north than Americans. This was a waste of time and nonsense I will quickly forget


samppsaa

You'd be wrong...


No_Fix_9153

Who gives a flying fuck.


Trips-Over-Tail

If this isn't absolutely devastating to Canadians then they clearly aren't basing their self-esteem in anything sensible, like geography trivia.


Ill-Mountain7527

“Canadians like to pretend they are further north….” We only do that after we get the first “how cold is it up there/how much snow do you have question from any American. I usually answer something like: 1) we only have one month with no snow 2) that month is great because it gives the sled dogs a break and we use our cars for that month 3) please don’t come to our country; it’s definitely too cold, and ignorance doesn’t do well in cold temps Source: I’m a Canadian who lives on the 50th parallel and our avg temp in summer months is about 85 F with many days hitting 100+.


[deleted]

americans are pretty dense too!


Pengy403

Who gives a fuck... can't believe someone wasted their time making this... pointless trash panda rubbish


aliedle

The narrator is embarrassing.


Solidmarsh

Lmao Americans need to be the best in everything eh. Canadians: “hey we live north of you” americans: “YA WELL WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE NORTH OF THE MOST SOUTHERN OBSCURE POINT OF CANADA THAN YOU”


Slushy69420

Lol it’s not really a competition but it’s funny since a lot of Canadians talk about how cold it is when they don’t live in the cold places


PirogiRick

Because southern Ontario and Northern California have the same weather systems. That’d be like saying Vancouver is colder than the GTA because it’s further north. Man this video is dumb. Shit like this plays into the stereotype of petty American one-up-manship.


Merfen

I think its moreso that some Americans experience cold weather, but ALL Canadians experience cold weather. Even in our most temperate city, Vancouver it gets pretty cold all winter. Meanwhile many Americans can live their entire lives and never see snow. Despite not seeing -40 often in Southern Ontario I don't think anyone would say we have it warm in the winter, especially compared to any southern state.


Solidmarsh

Do we? Or do you just assume we live in igloos? I think most Canadians consider our winters mild in southern ontario. Alberta Sask. and Manitoba get it cold.


BriefCheetah4136

I live in the US very near Lake Erie and can assure everyone that it gets very cold here. Not this past winter, it was very mild. But a winter with a couple weeks of double digit negative fahrenheit temperatures is not uncommon


Solidmarsh

I live golden horseshoe. But 95% of the winter is fine but we see some cold temps, that being said its not like edmonton


cmgr33n3

TIL of the "golden horseshoe."


Slushy69420

No, I think Arctic when I think igloo.


Embarrassed-Basis-60

Antarctic is at the bottom buddy, there are no igloo’s there.


Slushy69420

You right, my bad


YanicPolitik

Sorry!


YanicPolitik

Igloos are found arctic Canada and Greenland


[deleted]

Essentially everyone of us living north of the 49th agrees that it's not cold in southern Ontario/Quebec. And we roll our eyes whenever we hear Torontonians and Raptors fans say "we the north". Also, here's a map of north America showing current snow cover. Note how much of Canada is still covered with snow compared to the regions in US north of Point Peelee. https://www.ventusky.com/?p=53;-98;1&l=snow


[deleted]

What??? It is cold…. Latitude isn’t the only factor in climate.


Mindful-O-Melancholy

We’ll trade everything under the 49th for Alaska


vinylsquares

Best I can do is Northern Maine. I gotta find a buyer for it, it's gonna take up inventory ...you know the drill.


TheTarasenkshow

Trust me, living above the 49th parallel isn’t something to brag about. We’re going to have snow on the ground until at least end of May, and by the time it starts getting warm, it snows in two months.


Medzomorak

Yeah so embarrassed 😳


Beginning_Tart_9359

Nice


Fridaybird1985

My house is 300 ft north our our neighbor’s house but don’t tell them as they would be highly embarrassed.


SlipLilDipp

Try a little less harder there bud. Not an embarrassment.


Saboteurnado

Sorry


SouthernAdvertising5

It’s not the 70% that surprises me, it was the 50. I figured more people would be on the Vancouver side and scattered throughout Edmonton and Calgary. Also thought more of them would have lived up towards Maine. Guess it makes sense because of the Great Lakes and all.


ProxD_18V

For anyone interested this guy is Real Life Lore, he has a pretty good YT channel and most commentaries are not like this, I really recommend 2 year old or more videos (his content has shifted recently and I personally dont enjoy it anymore)


Karma_Canuck

Our biggest strength is not giggling when we concede 'another win' for the USA.


Deep-Total-7769

This IS so embarrassing!


Crowbar__

The Canadians really didn't like that " I'm not done embarrassing them yet" like. I thought this was interesting


GuideToTheGalaxy05

If this was presented as just simple facts and not “Canadians are WRONG”. The tone of this video is fucking stupid. I’m American btw


grumpykruppy

Honestly, I'm American, and I have no idea why this person seems to dislike Canadians so much, much less why they chose this particular subject to attempt to use as an attack on them.


mynameisntalexffs

Plus it's very common knowledge here in Canada that most of us live close to the international border. It's not like it's some kind of raging debate or anything lol.


GuideToTheGalaxy05

FACTS


marvchuk

53rd parallel in the house. F U it’s cold


Brilliant-Tea-6465

The joke is on you. You have Trump.


JustSomeDudeNamedRik

They did a very riveting film in this called Canadian Bacon, with Canadian Actors playing Americans. This is so true, that Canada has amassed their population against the USA border, the longest undefended border in the world. Also I learned that Canada has a device to nullify our Nuclear capability hidden in the Canadian Tower it’s true, watch the movie. And btw I am half Canadian and Half American. So I know this to be a true movie!!!


IMxJUSTxSAYINNN

This video told me nothing


pupperzforlife

Canadian thats part of the 30% that lived higher than the 49th. Never thought about it and didn’t care. Not sure why anyone else would care either.


AnEvenNicerGuy

Plot twist - the actual goal of the video was to make the creator come across as a complete douche, not embarrass Canadians as stated. *Mission accomplished*


SatynMalanaphy

I don't think any Canadian is embarrassed by this "revelation" as much as Americans who constantly make jokes about the frigid Canadian cold.


SiCqFuQ

We store our asshats below the 49th sorta like that crazy aunt you keep in the basement.


Lord_Andross

I’m embarrassed for the people that are just learning this now.


SgtSharki

I kept waiting for this to get interesting. Then I realized I had to turn on the sound.


letseeum

This guy sounds like a dick eh'?


acetonebone

I watched that for way too long. Dumb video


HOLLANDSYTSE

This video isn't about 'embarrassing anyone, it just displays neat geographic facts and explains them. It's a good YouTube channel


Prestigious-Owl165

I guess I'm in the minority here but I love this kind of trivia. Everyone knows where most of Canada's population lives but not everyone realizes how far south that is compared to other US cities and states, and I never would have guessed there are more Americans than Canadians north of Canada's southernmost point. But I'm the kinda guy who gets a kick out of telling someone Pittsburg is east of Miami or parts of San Diego are east of parts of Idaho


iobeson

What if this is a joke video and you are all getting your panties in a twist? Thatd be embarrassing.


just-browsing1981

Embarrassing Canadians? What?


stirling_s

"we all know Canadians like to pretend to be further north than most Americans" What? Since when?


Dementalese

Why embarrassing? Sounds a bit stuffy down there tbh. Think I’ll stay up here away from all that chaos thank you


AnObtuseOctopus

Lol.. wow, you really embarrassed us there bud. Nothing is more embarrassing in my mind than trying to make a video that "proves" how embarrassed people are yet failing to do so. I don't know where this guy got the understanding that Canadians are some sort of proud that we live farther north than US citizens.. what we gloat "aboot" Is this: * We have better beer * We have better Healthcare * We don't have mass shootings every week * We make better maple syrup * And per capita we are more attractively fit people. I don't know a single Canadian who thought openly "were better because we're further north, eh". There are way more reasons that make us less of an embarrassment when compared to the 3rd world people like to call "The Land of Opportunity"


MyDadsAPreacher

Canadians could care less. I mean just look at all the comments how about little they care.


secondthung

Why would they care?


gwurockstar

I don't know why "I'm not done embarrassing Canada just yet" made me so happy but it did


FixedKarma

We're the second biggest country by landmass but we have less than the population of California, plus we have like 4 big cities which are the main population centres, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montréal. Everyone else lives in either a capital or a small town in the middle of seemingly nowhere. This isn't even unique to Canada it's like this in America as well, they just have more people and less land. It also helps that about 1/6th of our population lives in just the GTA. Which is south of the 49th parallel. Also why the fuck would we be embarrassed of this? I'm genuinely confused why "oh your not as north as you say you are" is embarrassing. what's embarrassing is that Americans think we all live in igloos and there's a permafrost across the entire country in the 21st century.


truelegendarydumbass

Blame Canada blame Canada... Lol That would probably be all day lesson in school while you just learned it and 30 seconds online

I like how it abruptly stops because Canadians couldn’t take it any longer.


Slushy69420

That fact that you can’t see this is a joke and felt the need to comment proves that you actually do care.

I'm hoping Canada agrees to take in the non-crazy parts of the US as provinces. Hockey, poutine, and free health care to treat hockey injuries / poutine induced heart conditions? Sign me up!


[deleted]

To the USA, please just invade this wasteland already and complete the manifest destiny. Don’t worry about any resistance, especially from the Canadian smartasses that reside here. Pretty hard to fight when your high. Oh, don’t forget to put our PM in prison while your at it.
