What are some things that tourists do that upset Canadians? Well there are not a lot of things that tourists do that upset the locals in Canada, but a few things will set them off. From comparing them to their neighbors to the South or making fun of hockey there are some things you should know before you visit Canada so you keep from saying sorry to everyone in Canada.

  • Line culture SHOULD be a thing everywhere. Its the sign of a civilized society
  • @Evan12346
    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. 😀🇨🇦
  • @karenf9834
    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
  • @LauraDBM
    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!
  • @jennabrown9713
    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
  • J.aime beaucoup le Canada! I’ve been all over Canada and feel proud to have visited so much…thank you for a wonderful episode…please have more Canadian content…just found out about your channel from a dear friend…Off again explorers!
  • @yuzuchuhai880
    I'm Canadian and I Ioved this video - a big laundry list of don'ts, so true! hahahah
  • 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.
  • I have had the pleasure of meeting canadians tourist while traveling myself and I always been impressed by their kindness and well manner ways.
  • @MrWhatis
    Canada is more of a Cultural mosaic than a melting pot. overall a good video, keep up the good work . enjoy watching your video.
  • @chloegeorge5026
    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!
  • @MrViyasan
    I welcome American tourists any day. Come on over!
  • @CajunGators
    Idk if these are specific to Canada. Don’t cut the line anywhere, that’s improper.
  • @MrWhatis
    good point everyone like a polite tourist no matter where in the world..
