Canadian employers will use you abuse you once you are not needed they will dispose you like a piece of garbage

Canadians sound like Americans,but spell like the British.

Canadians sound like Americans,but spell like the British.

Who are blaming for racial profiling, Canadian people? Maybe these racialized groups have showen more trouble in all areas of lives like higher unemployement rate, drug use, criminality, slums... Dont blame those business owners, property managers etc. as they are just trying to make the right choice

When people get beyond the boundary of a person's color you will face the reality of what this is all about in the first place. Isn't it funny when we look at things like professional sports. The music industry a host of other platforms you see the black community excelling. Now you do not see a huge rebellion taking place from any other nation that is not represented in those areas. So what is really up with these other areas you continue to bring up. All those other problems are not being escaped from because of a persons color. If you believe you have a problem in those areas. Then continue to find solutions. Stop trying to single out the fact that you are the only race that has life issues. When you know every Canadian daily has challenges it faces. The thing about it all is simply this fact. What are you going to do about it ? Stop putting up walls that tell others you are always a victim. If that were the case your basketball courts, baseball stadiums, football fields would not be filled. We all know that is not happening. And I certainly do not believe that all blacks live in this sort of arena. In fact I have a lot of friends who are black. All I see everyday is a beautiful person behind that face. The other thing is, that there are millions of Canadians every year out getting tans when the sun hits. That alone should speak volumes.

She's not Canadian that's not tolerated in Canada and the people there are all nice and don't act like that

I love both countries but I prefer the USA. It's more my style. I like Canadian weather in summer and American weather in winter.

Yaa media always portray like this. But Canadian people are not blind. Whoever, Non Muslim deeply meets and pass time with Muslims they started to love them. Thats why conversion to Christianity to islam in canada is significant. You, the media, spread hate for your political agenda. And we Muslim and non Muslim spread love in canada.

I've been to the USA and Canada (Alabama, Florida and Georgia in the USA; and Alberta and BC in Canada). I really liked both of them, but I preferred the Canadian food and people. Also, British and Canadian spelling is literally the same; we still have colour, favourite, and realise.\n\n\nI really liked the video Drew, but I'm pretty sure apple pie is British, and it's amazing here :/

At least two more differences between the US and Canada (I'm a Montrealer myself with American-born parents):\n\n1) When going to the different parts of Canada, they feel that much more different from each other (in the buildings, highway signs, etc.) than the different parts of the US. For example, British Columbia feels like a foreign country compared to not just Quebec (the most obviously different province in Canada) but also compared to Nova Scotia or Manitoba, whereas Washington state or Minnesota is less different than Pennsylvania or Massachusetts.\n\n2) Native Americans (or First Nations, as they're called in Canada) make up a way higher proportion of the Canadian than American population, though less so percentage-wise in Montreal or Toronto or even Quebec City, and they are thus much more in the consciousness of the average Canadian than the average American.

What I love about both countries that religion doesn't play much of role . Btw Canada is 60% non religion . And USA is 40% no religion . But the most important thing is that the secular identity in both nations . Christians in both countries are not traditional Christians . But secular Christians . That's why Americans and Canadians marry other people like non religious and other religions \nAnd they are very open minded nations . I just hope if I can marry a Canadian or American because Its my dream to marry and settle down in there for a very big part of my life . I don't care what's my partner religion as long as I love and her it's enough .

theres a major difference, we dont have over 500k coronavirus patients, like damn, china is doing such a good job dealing with it, like how do you get like 5x more then china and in a couple weeks, like BRUH. canadians are trying to stop the spread, and it works. but usa, how the HECK DO U GET THAT MANY CASES

Surveys show consistently that Canadians are much more liberal-minded on social issues like gay marriage, capital punishment, decriminalization of drugs and abortion. Canadians have always been able to travel to Cuba. \nAlso, Canadians are far less religious than Americans and religion plays no part in our politics. In other words, Canadians are more like Europeans.

Drew you probably forgot to say many things like 1-USA is not as safe as Canada \n 2- Canada has large water bodies\n 4- Canadians apologize more than USA \nBut thanks for all your contributions, you are my favorite Youtuber ✌

Canadians need to pronounce words like: leg, roof, creek, etc correctly, and call their grandmother a proper designation, rather than 'meemaw'. ???

Canadians are patriotic but you dont see flags on practically every single property like you do in the US, it's a lot more subtle and we are predominantly christian but we dont really have fundamentalists Christians like in the US and religion and politics never mixed in canada, whereas the Republicans in the US are constantly talking about god and there faith

One things is that canadians like to compare canada and America (united states) americans not so much also Canadians seem to really dislike the United states America not so much

Well, Canadians are a minority in North America. California has more people than Canada. There are more Blacks in the USA than all Canadas population. So, being a minority will make you feel like your kind of special. Being American is not since there are 320 million Americans .

Canada? We speak like Americans but look, we say ''EH'' at the end of our phrases. That makes us sound Canadian. If you think that adding a stupid word at the end of a phrase is creating an accent, its an insult for all the countries that have spend centuries to develop an actual accent that makes them sound different from the others. You guys are in denial.

There’s a common saying which states that the difference between Canadians and Americans is that “while Americans side with their fellow citizens against the government, Canadians side with their government against their fellow citizens.” This is stereotype is the best explanation as to why Canada can’t see to develop a viable market economy or compete with other nations on innovations in STEM or the arts. The problem with Canada is that it never developed a culture outside of “not being American” and the result is that their government has been allowed to grow to an enormous size and basically strangle all of the talent out of the country. Canada, despite the fact that it’s an English speaking country on the North American continent, is virtually nothing like America is any sense of the term, and actually has more in common with Scandinavia than it does with the country that borders it’s south.

I agree with the video.\n\nBut there’s a lot of Canadians who would go nuts after seeing this video. In their view, the less Canada looks like the USA, the better it is.

Remember when Canada evacuated a Saudi girl because Justin Trudeau had an election and wanted to look like he cared about human rights but didn’t evacuate a single Canadian stranded abroad ?

The single biggest difference influences all the other differences and that is Canada is part of the UK Commonwealth and the Queen is the head of state while the USA rejected England (UK) and devised a government like no other at the time. Thus Canadians and their customs are much more closely related to the UK than the USA.

Canadian here in Toronto. Thanks for the video Drew. Very accurate. We're similar in so many ways but there are definitely differences. Today was the day I was supposed to fly to China to take a tour in North Korea. Yes you heard that right. YouTubers like you and similar others have inspired me to try different destinations and experiences. However, that will have to be out on hold for the time being... :(

proud to be a Canadian...long live Canada my home my heart my soul♥️??♥️\nI love USA since most exciting places like New York City on earth with most loving people specially my friends in USA....God bless America\nStay home stay safe ???????????

It's not free healthcare, it's universal healthcare meaning everyone pays for it. I don't like it at all when people say it's free. Yes I'm Canadian

I think lots of these are stereotypes like especially the food cause I'm a canadian and think that maple syrup is way to sweet ,I also think the street are way less busy in canada and in canada where I live there are way less fast food joint's like I have never seen taco bell or chipotle in canada and where I live in bc It doesn't snow alot

As a Canadian who has traveled to 12/13 provinces/territories (sorry NFLD) and all regions of the mainland USA I have couple comments. First, both Canada and the USA the accents and culture are very different depending on the area (another similarity!). People from Vermont have more in common with people from New Brunswick than they do with their fellow Americans in Texas. People from British Columbia have more in common with people from Washington than they do with Quebeckers. Second, I actually find that Americans are super friendly in some states, more outgoing than Canadians (like say Tennessee). Also, Drew, if you ever want to go to the Far North in Canada it's a whole other world of Inuit people speaking Inuktitut on Baffin Island - for me that area seems like another country!

Canadian here! I do like both countries!

Canada is like America but Canadian

I still like both American and Canadian people these days ?? ??.

I’m a Canadian and I don’t like hockey and I hear your coming to Montreal I can take you on a tour

I like how South park represents Canadians.

I’m American but my mom is Canadian ????I like Canada more thank you for all the likes and replies

when stated i like both us and canada very much i would say the same since i am canadian and pretty much agreed on every point in the video

Am I the only one who prefers Australia because it's got a high quality of life like Canada and warm climates like the US? I'm saying this as a Canadian-American.

Visit small towns then you’ll know what canadian racism looks like.

canadian ppl never trust any islam ppl they r dangerous... just treat them like mia khalifa...

SO I WOULD LIKE TO SET UP A HOUSE HOLD CAN I HAVE $50.000 I KNOW OF A HOUSE FOR SALE OH CRAP I'M CANADIAN ONLY PRIVILEGE IS TO RENT OR LIVE ON STREET MOST CANADIANS ARE HOMELESS RENTERS SUPPORTING THEIR PURCHASE.

Why then aren’t thousands of Canadians at that illegal crossing trying to stop it? Looks like the Canadian people are allowing it as well.

Well I guess if one of the Canadian police or somebody like that catch the virus from the immigrants that are coming in they can blame the Prime Minister

Wonderful reporting! I am a Canadian in Greece and finally the Greek government has realised they need to close their borders from the invasion of ILLEGAL MIGRANTS. It is like a war zone on the border now. You can learn from the Greek experience. It is destroying the islands where there are still 60000 illegals camped out. With this new threat it is even more important! Canada needs to wake up!

Trudeau is just spitting in the face of Canadian , he`s just a disgusting liar ... like most politician he says one thing and does another or nothing at all ...

With the US air ban that should help in eliminating illegal border crossings. Plus it looks like the Canadian /US border will soon be shut down to non-essensial travel. So this and any other illegal border crossings must be shut down.

Canadians can't trespass in facilities that they pay for with their own tax dollars, but illegals can trespass in our country and live off the taxpayer. It doesn't look like we have to obey the law. Gather up a bunch of protesters and put up a blockade around the border. We already learned from the pipeline protests and railroad blockades that the law means nothing. You won't get anywhere unless you fight fire with fire.

Your question to the RCMP officer was stupid He is paid to follow orders While he is at work his personal opinion does not matter What were you trying to do shame him for doing his job Go back to school and learn a little finesse and gracefulness You are like a bull in a china shop Oh and bye the way Trudeau as much as i think he is a bad leader did not say that Canadians were restricted from returning home

And why is Canadian government taking so much refugees from Africa and middle east if they know that many Canadian are racists towards blacks and Asians, racists people are just ignorance and they don’t want to accept their denial of the racists. Example I didn’t know that there’s different between humans and we are all humans but not kind of aliens from somewhere, as human being we should have just live together and treat people like we treated ourselves rather than hating others because of their skin color. Am African man and here in Africa we don’t have such things as black or white but we are all humans and we all believe that all humans are equal and it doesn’t matter whether you’re white or black..

this is so stupid.....I'm a minority and a Canadian.....but I like to go by Canadian!.....Freakin snowflakes...

Canadians be like a boot

Really interesting video, and I really liked the black Canadian perspective. I’m a black American and we don’t really hear about black Canadians and their similar struggle (possibly worse since I’m just assuming there are fewer black people there and Canada is not “known” for its racism like the US is so people may not think it’s an issue)
