i'm canadian and i'm a bit embarrassed by this stuff. acting like other nations are stupid just because they don't give a shit about us is a bit delusional
@nicholasczapiewski The thirteen colonies existed back when canada was just a bunch of fishing stations, so the US is technically older, also we have 10x more people
@Dzubur93 Canada ISNOT Americas little brother. We're bigger then America, it's the other way around. America is the childish little brother of Canada.
I dont mean to be offensive in any way, but from an European point of view, Canada is alot better then USA, in politics, economics, social balance etc.
I understand you Americans make fun of Canadians because of accent and such, but their quite superior in overall govern. Im spanish from Barcelona, although i have no need what so ever, but given the chance or the necessity, i would rather live in Canada then USA.
Congratulations America on being the most despised uneducated, and irresponsible country in the world! im going to watch you eat a grease-dipped burger and actually see how fat the country is getting, thats right, we can make stereotypes to :). (Except the American stereotype isn't exaggerated and is a fact that needs to be taken control of) haha :P
I can understand, it has nothing to do with american, most countries would probably have given the same answer, it's cuz no one gives a fuck about canada.
Although this is very funny it really portrays a bad image of Americans. You really shouldn't generalize an entire country based on a video like this. Obviously they set out to make this video like it is. It's not like they were trying to make an unbiased video about how many people they could and couldn't trick. It's supposed to be funny and that's all it's supposed to be.
@tickycup This show is call Rick Mercer Reports, it is sort of like Jon Stewart, but he does not just cover politics but Canadian culture. Rick Mercer is not mean spirited but he likes to catch people off guard. If you look you look up "RMR Rant" you can see how makes funny of our gov't (Only if you interested). We take his show as a comedy show and don't taken any of the content seriously.
@jlopes808, lol I think you need to pay more attention in High school, Orrrr maybe go to university. Orrr do a google search, for Canadian inventions, hmm like basketball?, the telephone?, Fiber optics?, the light bulb?, Insulin (which is good for all the fat diabetic americans), The pacemaker, The zipper, Java Programming language, Blackberry, Alkaline battery, plexiglass, G-suit, Electron Microscope, anyway you see where this is going. I hope you get the point
@adampope64 then if Canadians contributed so much with these inventions...why dont they teach about it at my school...this question is not meant as offensive im just asking a simple question...and no insults please i'm aware of America's problems i dont need a reminder
@jtpruzz hahaha naa dude i'm british, have you got an insult for that to? Typical american! You think everyones attacking you, I wasn't. I promise. It's just that your comment was really ridiculous and the comment about being american was just for extra effect.
@SteelCitiesFinest i wasn't trying to insult anyone the first place i just asked why i never hear anything at our school about famous canadians or anything, yes they do teach us about other countries or regions, thats why its called world history. this was not an attack by the way
well I'm not trying to insult you or remind you of anything but American's like to rule the world so they teach students that American's did and do everything. Who did they tell you invented the telephone?
@BarrackInsaneOsama Canada's not a hat. America's the pants you see. We're bigger then America :C Why the hell would the hat be bigger then the person?
the kid at the end picked up on it.... shows the the future generation of Americans will be even smarter...
However I can see why Americans don't know much about Canada. They simply don't care. There is no need for them to know about it lol that's how 'unimportant' Canada is. (not saying it's t rue, just saying to Americans they are unimportant)
@ChristinaWatkinson Wow! Is it really so interesting that California is but a bustling anthill? Americans envy Canada because it's a culturally rich country. It's obvious that Americans don't have much so they try to hide their poor mcdonald's and coca-cola "culture" by mocking others.
these people interviewing are supossed to be from the news. WE GET OUR INFORMATION FROM THE NEWS. if we hear something frm the news, we ususally believe it. Nobody wants to look like an idiot on tv. get a life other coutries.
It's sad that people actually believe those things. Fair enough not knowing about some of the stuff, but you don't believe some random person in the street just because they have a camera and microphone.
wow americans r so stupid and clueless about the rest of the world mayb if they took their heads out of their morbidly obese asses they wouldn't b so ignorant
ahahahahhahahha stupid Americans the little kid was the only smart one there. "hold on Canada has provinces" HAHAH his mom was probably so embarrassed.
Maybe you should learn how to put a proper sentence together before trying to prove something to me. I can't take you seriously if you're sentence consists of 'y' instead of 'why' and 'u' instead of 'you'. Number one country? Of what?
wow bentpenguin the uploading is from the US he thinks rick mercer is telling the truth about canada, rick is just fucking around with the US because there stereotypes of canada isnt even based on truth they just heard 1 stupid guy talk
to be fair, if some guy who looked like a reporter came up to me with a mic, I'd probably believe anything he told me.. cuz reporters don't lie :P this is very juvenile, but I still remember laughing my butt off first time I saw this on tv.
lol, what if a reporter told you the world was made of snow? Or Hitler was just brought to the present via a time travel device? Or if you cut off your penis an even bigger one will grow back?
I'd believe some people falling for the 20 hour time. They probably get mixed up trying to convert metric distances and weights and temperature... time is just about the only thing we don't measure differently, plus time zones are something else they might associate with travelling that far.
Fun fact: Toronto was the capital city, back before we were really a country. It was called "York" back then and was rebuilt and renamed after getting burned down in the war of 1812.
Here are some facts for those who dont get these jokes: The Parliament building is in our capital, Ottawa, where the snow melts every spring. It has electricity. Our last Prime Minister was Jean Chrétien (Poutine is french fries with gravy and cheese; Jean-Luc Picard is a Star Trek character.) We have 10 provinces and 3 territories, and we have MPs (members of parliament,) not congressmen. We have always been part of North America. We are the USs only neighbour to the North. (continued...)
(...continued) Our population is 35 million. VCRs, pet dogs and staplers were never illegal here. We have hundreds of area codes and daily newspapers. The French use 24hr time; English Canada uses 12hr time, same as the US. There would be 22 65-min hours in a day, not 20. 4:30 "American time" would be 4:10, not 5:10 in such a system. The coin stuff is real, but theres no 5, and we dont have a Baywatch or Springer Day. Chunnel to China? Mt. Rushmore mining rights? wtf! lol
And the oldest newspaper in North America is published in Halifax (NS Canada), since 1752... These guys from the show "This hour has 22 minutes" are great! lol
The reason Americans suposedly don't know anything about Canada is because assholes keep going down there and feeding people bullshit like this. I don't know everything about every country in the world. If an American news reporter told me that the whitehouse was on the west coast, I'd probably assume I'd been misinformed and go along with it.
Also as an American, there is sadly a big rail of shockingly ignorance that unfortunately runs through out the mainland. Should we blame Patriotism and Nationalism? Who knows.*shrugs*
By the way I love Canada, and wish to visit the major cities in the future. I've gotten along with every single Canadian I've met offline and on. God bless'em ...
AMERICA

I agree.
Also as an American, there is sadly a big rail of shockingly ignorance that unfortunately runs through out the mainland. Should we blame Patriotism and Nationalism? Who knows.*shrugs*
By the way I love Canada, and wish to visit the major cities in the future. I've gotten along with every single Canadian I've met offline and on. God bless'em ...
