Line culture SHOULD be a thing everywhere. Its the sign of a civilized society
-
Canadian here… another great video. Don’t worry about offending us, just be a little more formal with your politeness just like your grandmother would want, and you’ll be fine. 😀🇨🇦
-
Haha as a Canadian, I think the things that bother me would be line jumping, unkind people in general & anyone who litters.
-
Sorry but as a Canadian, I think tipping has gotten ridiculous there especially in Toronto. Having said that, I am not opposed to tipping but for me the tip should reflect the quality of service you received, as it was designed for. The problem is that the mentality is that you need to tip no matter what, which I will never accept. Sorry eh! lol
-
All very true! And I totally agree on saying "sorry". My American friends think it's strange that we apologize a lot, but it really is a politeness thing up here!
-
One big one you didn't mention is currency, a lot of my friends working in touristy areas often have Americans trying to use American currency here, and it's so painful

I'm Canadian and I Ioved this video - a big laundry list of don'ts, so true! hahahah
-
Great video, Mark! On point.
-
I'm from Toronto and I think poutine is disgusting! Not afraid to tell anyone, either. Not sorry about that. Regarding saying "sorry" all the time, I was in London talking to a guy in a pub. He asked why do Canadians say sorry a lot. I said, "Sorry, but I ain't gonna fuckin tell ya!" He cracked up laughing and shook my hand.

You know as a Canadian not much of this except maybe jumping the line would rile me up. I am a pretty open person and wouldn't have a problem to talk about Quebec or health care. I would say that while Canadians are polite I am not sure we are outwardly friendly these days. Downtown is busy like every US city and people are kind of in their own world. We will talk to you if you ask us a question and be happy to help but we generally leave people to themselves unless they need something, like scandanavia and Denmark. I would say the touchiest topic right now is the left vs right topics that are so nuanced they require a lot of time to talk through and never really resolve on a happy foot, maybe something to avoid unless you know the folks you are talking with and actually want to get into a deep and complicated topic.

Great videos by the way. Love following you.

I have had the pleasure of meeting canadians tourist while traveling myself and I always been impressed by their kindness and well manner ways.
-
Canada is more of a Cultural mosaic than a melting pot. overall a good video, keep up the good work . enjoy watching your video.
-
As a Canadian, I complain about the cold all the time lol. As do most people I know. Also, not afraid to say I hate hockey... sorry! But queue jumping? Yes, that's unacceptable!
-
FYI: We don’t say aboot up here
-
Great video
-
I welcome American tourists any day. Come on over!
-
Idk if these are specific to Canada. Don’t cut the line anywhere, that’s improper.
-
