John Green's Message to Canadians

[nobelmorningstar]

AH YES I feel so special. Glad you didn't forget about us up here with our polar bears and penguins.

[TheSage555]

The book is great, I strongly recommend it.

By the way, if some sort of nerd fighter event were to show up in Montreal, it would probably sell out. We would love to have you up here!

[Lilydrop]

I don't get the joke about the fireplace... can someone explain? It made me laugh since it seems so random, though. xD

PS: Canadian nerdfighter here. :)

[livelovelaughdance91]

John? um. Now that you're not poor enough for that incredibly rude and ignorant border dude who probably wasn't Canadian at all, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO OTTAWA!

I know so many many people here , including myself who would give anything to see you (and also my copy of TFiOS isn't signed, nor are any of the other books) (hint hint).

[h0neybunn69]

I actually LOL'd at the fire place joke. Johnn.... WINDSOR? Sigh... you shame me! Come to Ottawa instead! :D

[MinecraftWithMat]

john, feel free and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO CANADA!!!! :O do your next tour in canada!

[TheOfNothing]

Come to Northern Ontario please.

[StevenRoste]

Sometimes I think about how some people only know John for his books.

Like, if I saw this video without ever knowing about vlogbrothers, I would be blown away by how awesome this random Young Adult fiction writer is.

[CaptainFluttershy]

Canada loves you too! :)

[Dubyalicious]

Windsor, Ontario - birthplace of Shania Twain.

[RememberTheTrees]

You're welcome. ^^ Also, thank YOU.

[MissJCJean]

I'm from Windsor! Damn, why Border Patrol, why?

[suicunesrider]

Americans know that the maple leaf symbolizes Canada.

some americans think that it snows all year round in Canada.

yet maple tree leaves fall off in the winter.

so maple trees could not survive if it was winter all year round.

......

..........

..............

[vistarox]

@suicunesrider Most Americans don't have enough brain power to figure that out.

[splorqqqq]

go to the east, we dont need lots of moneys:p

[TheRimDoctor]

@splorqqqq Indeed. In Newfoundland I'm happy so long as I can go out in me skiff, smoke a tobacco pipe and play accordion.

Meanwhile in America people are assholes to each other.

[bubbles7pjc]

How have I not seen this until now?!...We just love you more John ;)

[PolkadottedAngels]

@42mada I take offense to that! (kinda) I live in Windsor, and have my whole life. But you have a point, it isn't the most touristicly (I made a new word!) appealing town ever.

[lindathebaker]

WINDSOR!



[bookmouse99]

Windsor Ontario!!!! Yay! I am sorry you got turned around at the border. Windsor is....gateway to the rest of ontario :) No it can be nice here. I promise

[NerdfighterneverFTBA]

It was like 6 degrees in toronto when you were on tour

[VENTA2000]

fuck you - a canadian 

[yknowthatgirl]

@VENTA2000 A horrible, horrible Canadian that shouldn't be able to speak on behalf of the other Canadians.

John, seriously. We'd love to have you here... Especially the East Coast.

Best Wishes,

Another Canadian

[VENTA2000]

@yknowthatgirl This is shameless advertising and it has NOTHING to do with Canada. I don't care what dedication you have the guy, on the internet his video is irrelevantly labeled for self bump. I am dissapoint.

[staytuned2L337]

@VENTA2000 CLEARLY it has something to do with Canada Did you even listen to what he was saying? He was obviously clearing up a misconception about his book and saying how we're more supportive of his work than Americans, which in my opinion isn't much of a self-bump as a clearing up a misconception of his book and a thank you. Do you even know who this man is and what he does or are you just a giant squid of anger for no reason? Why you gotta be so rude? =S

[yknowthatgirl]

@staytuned2L337 Rock on fellow Nerdfighter, DFTBA!

[yknowthatgirl]

@VENTA2000 You realise that this is a channel for BOOKS right? Penguin? That's John's publisher... Penguin Canada clearly is the CANADIAN branch of Penguin. So, it's not really like he can be like "I'm American. That is all." Now take a deep breath and move along =]

[hailbopthecomet]

@yknowthatgirl as long as he comes to victoria as well!!! he should do an all capitals tour!!!!

[dra900nka1n]

The sad thing is...it wasn't cold during that time. It was like, -5 degrees.

[eirwen5]

It makes my heart so incredibly happy to know that John loves Canada. We love you too!!!!!!!

[EvilCookieMonster144]

Oh my goodness. The fireplace joke for some reason made me extremely happy.

Anyway, COME BACK TO CANADA JOHN I MISSED YOU WHEN YOU WERE IN VANCOUVER COME BACK COME BACK COME BACK.

[AlissaTheSquib]

Windsor is sooo close to me! Why? When? Why not now?

[Starkid4Potter]

CANADA!!!

And now you should come visit us again... *rubs hands together*

Who? Me? Evil schemes? Psh no...

[BeautifullyTragicxx]

"THat makes it sound depressing. It's not depressing" Rule number 1: The Author lies.

[ninatherenthead]

his hair is so...touseled

[IlEatYouForBreakfast]

@ninatherenthead Not tousled. Puffed. John is the king of the Puff Factor.

[hersheykissesbca]

"its not depressing"

well if you say so...

[yurplepellow]

Canadians are full of nerdfighting love :) Standing behind everyone who's urging you to do a Canadian tour!

[eyesofdreckleburg]

"its not depressing" ....did i read the wrong book?

[silverscale616]

I went to Toronto once for an All Caps concert and met a bunch of nerdfighters. It was fun times.

[AlissaTheSquib]

@silverscale616 the one in the church?

[silverscale616]

@AlissaTheSquib YES WERE YOU THERE?!

[AlissaTheSquib]

@silverscale616 it was my church, the youth pastor was a friend of mine so I kinda harassed Alex Carpenter about using the venue when they couldn't find one...

[silverscale616]

@AlissaTheSquib I'd like to say thank you, then.

[AlissaTheSquib]

@silverscale616 haha you're welcome... (but I'm sure they would have figured something out)

[KamilahCarter]

Awesome. Love your work. Would be great to see you in Van or Toronto sometime in the future :)

[OkalRelsDaughter]

Come to Vancouver!!! Its the Northern Hollywood after all!!! COME!!!!

[Piiiglett]

I'm in Winnipeg. We're mentioned in AVPM. Come to a city that was mentioned by Darren Criss!

After all this shameless self-promotion, just tour Canada as a whole. We adore you, John (Hank, you too).

[DyingxToxLivexAgain]

Visit Toronto please :3

[benlandry5]

COME TO CANADA JOHN GREEN!!!

[Wonkyspunk]

Oh this is just aboot the best thing I ever heard eh!

[snpomroy]

JOHN GREEN TFiOS WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER READ. <3

[InFlameProductions]

sooooo you admit that we like you more than your American friends but you still won't come here? :( saaad face

[charcharbinx]

Awesome and hilarious John Green, is awesome and hilarious

[42mada]

Windsor? WINDSOR? You come to Canada, and out of all places, you try to go to WINDSOR?

[Oliviafjr]

Canada loves you!

[1994PLH15]

I'm from Windsor!!!!! XD

[tricialamb]

Thanks John!! I missed the tour in Vancouver, it sold out too fast! Next time you're back I hope you find a bigger venue!

[auriianna]

You are welcome. :D

[muddshshshark]

<canadian

[ladysbaby]

Oshawa, Ontario loves you and so far the only nerdfighter that I know of in Oshawa is me. I'm hoping that oneday you and Hank with come closer to me so I can tell you have awesome you make my days.

[tehKelzorz]

You're welcome, Mr John Green. (: My brother and I love your books!

[halfofcamandra]

It's been so warm this year. There was like 1 week in Alberta that got Canada cold, it's mostly been within 10 degrees of 0.

[pkConda]

It's actually not cold in toronto at all this year. and I'm happy for that :P

[lightyforthewin]

There are not enough like buttons for how much I like this video.

[pkConda]

@lightyforthewin haha agreed

[reeft]

what about unsigned books? (I already sent an e-mail)

[777norciaa]

oh John, how much i love you!

[OctaviaTheMusician]

Did he seriously just say "It's not depressing"? SERIOUSLY?

[ConfidencePants]

@OctaviaTheMusician It's not depressing, just sad! There's a difference!

[CIoneOutcast]

Toronto longs for you, John.

[pkConda]

@CIoneOutcast we do, we do!

[JustDoNotBlink]

We love you up here John!!! What else are we going to do during the long, cold winter other than read your books??? :D

[bethanyblueberry]

"That makes it sound depressing. It's not depressing." Oh John, you liar.

[Piiiglett]

This Nerdfighter from Winnipeg loves you too, John~!

[acalmarises]

I don't know the first thing about tours and how they work but I'm sure that if Tour de Nerdfighting could have made it to Toronto, it totally would have. Canada's message to John Green: you should come visit anyway! FOR FUN. I hear Toronto's nice in the summer/all year round.

[acalmarises]

I am a proud resident of both Canada and Nerdfighteria. EXCELLENT DUAL CITIZENSHIP IS EXCELLENT.

[kikyo4815]

@acalmarises THIS. :D

[OkalRelsDaughter]

@acalmarises And Agree!!! ^_^ :D 

[cheetahstar222]

@acalmarises Agreed.

[PaperJoelio]

WHAT. WHAT. JOHN. WHAT. HOW. IS. HAPPY.

[canadian00793]

and then everyone that ordered off amazon.ca didn't get a signed copy.......unfortunate.

[PINKforeverXOXO]

oh my god i live in windsor! sorry we didn't let you in :(

[Susannarific]

OH MY GOOD GOD.

I JUST SCREAMED.

[sapha12]

Speaking on behalf of all Canadians, we bestow (complete with Canadian spelling) honourary citizenship. You can come pick up the papers at my house when we hang out. That is all.

[VanceJoudrey]

@sapha12 Noo, if it looks like a body check would kill you - you can't be Canadian.

[sapha12]

@VanceJoudrey Ah. But sheer level of awesome has the power to repel all checking. ;)

[BreChristie]

I've watched the first 11 seconds like, 10 times.

[EarthToDeidre]

this always makes me laugh so much !

[EggplantsandTeacups]

As a Windsorite, I am sorry to hear that. Please don't let that stop you from coming back to Windsor, we, and the rest of Canada for that matter, would love to have you!

[terralynn9]

Thanks for the fireplace!

I just got my copy of TFIOS, finally. I got a red J-squiggle. :D

[vanillahearts62]

Yay, we love you John!!!

[harelquindemon]

Canadians read more books! Hense we are more intelligent!

The Fault in our Stars is absolutely amazing! Everyone read it!

[overratedname]

@harelquindemon Hence*

[iTurnedBlue]

@harelquindemon hence* ;)

[harelquindemon]

@iTurnedBlue *head desk* Knew I was going to do something dumb like that.

Sorry Nerdfighters, I'm usually better at spelling.

[singstudysmile]

@EpiskeyPM John John J-J-John Green! John Green!

[lfcmyers7]

That's because Canada is cooler than the US.

on that note, COME AND VISIT CANADA DAMNIT!

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@lfcmyers7 Two words, John Diefenbeker.

[OkalRelsDaughter]

@lfcmyers7 OMG AGREE!!

[UsagiChan95]

It is Depressing. With a capital 'D'.

But funny, and poignant, and Awesome with a capital 'A' too.

So that's okay.

[isabelrae]

I've watched this far too many times.

[FaultAndDakranon]

I love how Penguin knows that your puff is integral to your image. This video is so slick, and yet so you. You are very dear to me John Green. Thank you for being an awesome part of my life for so long.

[AcceberSk]

YAY JOHN!!! MY TFIOS WAS HANKLERFISHED!!

[aislynnc]

i mean, he told us to "stop complaining that they never come to us" then he says he's going to vancouver. really john, vancouver? don't forget about ontario, john, we love you too.

[playfulkitty828]

OMG THANKS FOR THE FIREPLACE :D We sure need it up here :D

I am one of those Canadians who bought your book (a signed copy).

I love it and its not dpressing in the least! :D

[PenSpinnerManiac]

It's actually +3C here in Winnipeg which is extremely warm for this time of year...

[EpiskeyPM]

@PenSpinnerManiac THAT'S IN CANADA

[JilleyWillyNilly]

@EpiskeyPM

Omigod! A starkid!

You, sir (or madam), are supermegafoxyawesomehot

[mockingjayphoenix]

I'm currently at school, and I had to pause this video half-way through to stand up for O Canada........

[MaineJuen]

And yet the tour de nerdfighting isn't coming anywhere close to Toronto!

[AlphaNerd3]

@weert6666 Fuke you, John Green is awesome.

[AlphaNerd3]

@weert6666 <3

[JilleyWillyNilly]

@AlphaNerd3

"Fuke you" XD, Nerdfighters never cease to amaze me with their awesome.

[Naphta12]

If you like Canada so much... you should tour here :P

[playfulkitty828]

@Naphta12 Yeah! Come to London, Ontario!

[WhyHelloShelby]

It's not depressing, it's all the things. FEEL ALL THE FEELS.

Also, I love that John and I have the same hometown.

[StormsAndSecrets]

ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY WALK INTO WINDSOR.

[LobsomOverlord]

@StormsAndSecrets you cant even fathom how much i laughed at that.

[StormsAndSecrets]

@LobsomOverlord If it's anywhere near as much as I laughed at this video, I take that as a great compliment of my appropriated joke.

[xleeniebeeniex]

@StormsAndSecrets I appreciate that comment. So much. Made my day.

[rthecrook]

Canada loves you too, John! 130 Calgary nerdfighters and counting... it'd be a great place for a tour stop! /notsosubtlehint

[unrulywhippersnapper]

@rthecrook

hey are you guys connected with our Edmonton group? cuz if there was a stop either here or in Calgary... that would be a lot of nerfighters!!!!

[BlueWindButterfly]

@unrulywhippersnapper Between Calgary and Edmonton, there are about 230 of us. We could fill a venue! Love you John. You should come visit us in Alberta!

[BreChristie]

@rthecrook Hey, so I'm a Calgary Nerdfighter, so... meetup soon?

[rthecrook]

@BreChristie Are you in the facebook group we have? That's where we organize most of our meetups, they're always awesome!

[yourlittlefuton]

@rthecrook Make that 131... I'm a Calgarian-turned-Nerdfighter since this Christmas. Tour here needs to happen, methinks.

[katarinavlogs]

@rthecrook Plus close to 100 Edmonton nerdfighters who are totally willing to drive to Calgary!

[jaydeeladybug]

@rthecrook If you combine the Edmonton nerdfighters with the Calgary nerdfighters we would have almost 250 of us. That's awesome!

[theycallmenoone]

@rthecrook Make that 133 Calgary nerdfighters please. I have friends. =3

[AlwaysRi]

@rthecrook Theres tons of us in lethbridge who would make the journey!

[ohxromance]

I know everyone keeps recommending cities and places for them to come but please, for the love of all that is good, please just tour Canada.

I'm still trying to forget that long after Vancouver sold out, I told my mom about it and she was like 'I would have taken you there if I knew you wanted to go so badly.' GAHHHHH!

[aSnowyEvening]

Huzzah for Canadian Nerdfighters! We northern neighbors love you, John! (And Hank too!) Hope you'll visit Toronto some day, I'm totally jealous of the folks in Vancouver right now!

[bassmata65]

awesome

[asergium]

Much love from Canada. Thanks, John.

[thoughtyninja]

Thanks John, but come to Ottawa or Toronto sometime! Or Better yet Newfoundland!

[HabsFan0718]

Come to Montreal PLEASE!!!!!

[SaskatoonyJack]

Thanks so much for this video, John!!! You have no idea how much your Canadian readers appreciate this :) I hope you'll have the chance to visit Canada more frequently in the future~~

[britthinse]

Come to Alberta! Please!

[lksbat]

YES! I love everything about this video. Except the fact that he isn't in Canada.

[kira902k]

:D This is great.

[thePirateQueenKt]

Of all of Canada Vancouver needs a fireplace the least (+8C )

[xoxWHOAxox]

I'd believe the more Nerdfighter per capita in Canada thing. The amount of Nerdfighters I run into completely by accident on the street is astounding

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@xoxWHOAxox Jealous!

[icmayla]

I love you so much, John.

[tatipful]

Vancouver loves you for not forgetting about us!

[TheGeorgieEm]

thats one big puff.

[JSMemoir]

Come to Toronto!

[winged20]

And Canada loves you, John! If only you could bring the tour to more places in Canada than just Vancouver.

[catalyticglow]

Canada loves you, John Green

[snarper]

COME TO MONTREAL!!!!!!!!

[mliss024]

Aw John! We love you and your books a LOT in Canada! Come visit us soon! (I mean I could personally use that fireplace...)

[jonsvlogs]

Lololol. Funnily enough in Ontario, well, Southern Ontario anyways, it's not that cold. it's pretty warm for this time of year :P

[dodger235]

Come to Toronto! Or somewhere in the GTA. No fireplace necessary.

[jazlyn777]

I am now so much prouder to be Canadian than I already obnoxiously was.

[JubularBird]

Canada loves you too!

[TehWanderingKind]

"It's not depressing." MY ASS, JOHN. DON'T LIE.

LOVE YOU SEE YOU ON FRIDAY. :3

[LiverpoolLights]

I just convinced three people that the number 12 doesn't exist in Canada. I'm going to put that on my resume. anyway John, thank you for the fire place. It is much appreciated :)

[frysdog93]

The fuck would you wanna go to Windsor, Ontario? That place STINKS

[bittersweet913]

:D John never fails to crack me up!

[FredIsMyName22]

You didn't miss much by not going to Windsor... No offence to windsorians or windsorites...

[BlissfullyNerdy]

I feel just that much more loved. It sucks that we support his writing more, and yet his tours rarely dip into our country. :(

[DellBoy010]

We would welcome John Green or pretty much any Nerdfighter (with or without a fireplace or funds) with open arms. Anyone with his sense of humour (Cdn spelling), and awesomeness automatically becomes an honorary Canadian.

[flamingosnflipflops]

Well now that you are not lacking in sufficient funds, a trip to Windsor, ON would be much appreciated! Or like, Toronto. You know, the side of the country where the most people live :D

[adavis9513]

AS WE SAY IN  MY HOMETOWN

MY HOMETOWN

JOHN LIVES IN NERDFIGHTERIA.

[eda1102]

@adavis9513 And what did you think? That he lived in Indianapolis or some place like that?  OF COURSE HE LIVES IN NERDFIGHTERIA.

[bigmouthnotatall]

John Green is such a badass.
