RMR: Canada Explained

[MaumeeandWesternRR]

Is it me or is Rick Mercer the Canadian equivilent of Bill Nye. XD

[MenwithHill]

You could difficultly made easier to understand. I'm French, and now I know how Canada works !

[kazikian]

@MenwithHill As required by law, a translation shall be posted for you shortly ;)

[Northkid78]

"My dog wears a raincoat" Effin Hilarious. Rick you are amazing!

[EmilyLightning]

Sounds fun, I'm moving. LOL

[leeharveyosmosis]

I've really had enough of this "Canadian" horseshit.

[thedarkone2134]

@leeharveyosmosis And what would that be?

[leeharveyosmosis]

@thedarkone2134

I think you what that is, you Canadian jackass.

[thedarkone2134]

@leeharveyosmosis That doesn't even make sense.

[leeharveyosmosis]

@thedarkone2134 I shouldn't have even bothered trying to explain it to a Canadian jerk like you.

[thedarkone2134]

@leeharveyosmosis You didn't explain a thing.

Fail troll. lol

This is great. One of his best sketches.

[medicalhockey]

HARPER WANTS TO GIVE LAND FROM JASPER PARK FOR AMERICAN DRILLING. Go sign the petition against it and spread the petition. the petition is at this website:

avaaz.org

[TJCJS1200]

@medicalhockey

I'm more worried about the new border agreement he signed ...

[medicalhockey]

@TJCJS1200 don't even get me started on the border agreement. i don't know how canadians gave this idiot a majority.

[TJCJS1200]

@medicalhockey

We don't have a choice in anything , just watch Ron paul and whats happening with him in the election . Find it funny how poor old Jack got taken from us so quickly ... he was dead againt the us oil wars with fake terrorists around every corner ... oh yes thats right .

[randyck]

This is a lovely explanation and all, but can you make Canadian politics more interesting? Ah, you can't. Damn. Guess I'll go back to watching the American primaries...

[justinhewitt100]

For Funny personnel tweet's follow an upcoming Canadian comic!

@justinstorrey (therealjustinstorrey) WILL FOLLOW BACK FANS!

[Kryptonian250]

Judging from the remarks about Harper, those 141 years will have an interruption.

[BornintoSuffering1]

It's like a rock paper scissors government

[SPmQQse]

CANADA...A RACIST POLICE STATE

[VinForTheWin1]

@SPmQQse lol what? haha you don't know shit about canada

[SPmQQse]

@VinForTheWin1 go finish your home work,and clean your room

[VinForTheWin1]

@SPmQQse go read your comment, and realize how stupid and ridiculous it is.

[1988scottcarey]

@SPmQQse Thank harper for that.

[VegitoBlitz24]

I like it here in canada, but canadian TV fucking sucks. i have to go to the internet to watch every damn thing that's not boring.

[Only1LesGimix]

I'd like to visit Montreal.

[Gencturk92]

has anyone heard of this place called Buntzen lake in vancouver ?

[evilblurabit]

I still don't know what prorogued means

[nonamebrandforyou]

@evilblurabit

pro·rogue/prəˈrōg/

Verb:

Discontinue a session of (a legislative assembly) without dissolving it.

(of such an assembly) Be discontinued in this way.

thank you, google.

[50KC83]

Dear Rick Mercer,

Please run for PM. We will vote for you.

Sincerely, A Proud Canadian

[wacka1342]

I'm offensive and I find this Canadian

[PossiblyAsian]

@wacka1342 It's a comedy show get over it.

[Soap360]

I LOVE CANADA :D

[tamerseeker]

I wonder if inanimate objects have feelings because sometimes I can almost feel their pain.

[Xianpierre]

Oh my, I miss Canada. I haven't been there for the past 6 years. :((

[doug65536]

Canada kicks ass.

[ikilleduku]

I actually learnt something :D

[laurenax27]

Does watching this video count as studying for my Canadian political institutions exam tomorrow? ...

Yes. Yes it does.

[1988scottcarey]

Canada has a dark history both military and civil it had to be done and that's why i am extremly proud of this country my home...

[1fosteraus]

@jsizzle2012 well its better than being populated by dumbass americans

[supernatural2029]

I would like go to there even I am mexican it seems we don't have good relations with them because our problems with drugs

[supernatural2029]

I am latin american and I like canadian culture

[taangerineeee]

I always found canada SO intriguing, like what's up there? it's like the states but it isn't?

[uareri27]

@taangerineeee We live in igloos and ride polar bears to go to school/work/whatever. We eat beaver tails with maple syrups on it. Intriguing EH? ^^

[Baseshocks]

@taangerineeee youtube this "This is Toronto, Canada" it has pretty much all landmarks in largest city. you might want to mute the music though.... "Prince Edward Island, Canada Royal Tour Video" East coast, Provinces P.E.I and Newfoundland have the nicest people you will ever met on this planet, neighbor got free beer from random dude cause he was walking by his house lol :D. theirs the north "Frontiers North - Manitoba, Canada" just an example continued...

[Baseshocks]

@taangerineeee The north is pretty much empty, there are many Inuit communities all over the north. If you like to go Hunting or know people. Canada has soo much isolated land where you can be only people for miles on end....

[Capojutsu]

Ah damn it, i wanted to know more about Canada (brief study pause) and look where i ended up. I live in Latin America, i was born in the US AND would like to go to Canada.

[Vicipop98]

omg this guy is the funniest ever!!!

[PrettyNailDesigns]

71 people are American.



[IcedCoffee81]

It's a shame that such a beautiful and amazing country like that is TOTALLY FILLED with liberal, hippie, fruity, wussy, tree hugging, jungle loving, Wiccan, radical marxist, trailer trash, eco-wimp, occultist, leftist shrimps that want the United States to be another socialist, immoral, anorexic, sex crazed, perverted, and anti-religious society like that of Europe and Canada itself.

[jallz85]

@IcedCoffee81 um... pardon?

[MacLabFever]

@IcedCoffee81 hahaha, you are the best troll ever. thumbs up.

[cookieyy]

@IcedCoffee81 It's such a shame that neo-cons like you are still alive. How are we anti-religion? Is it because we are a secular nation that allows all religions and beliefs? Trailer-Trash, really? The poverty rate in the US is way higher then is Canada. Do you even know the definition of socialism? "A theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole".

[DigoGcontaeanChlair]

@cookieyy Americans are literally paranoid about socialism. 50% of Americans nowadays

are poor, that´s for a fact, and if you talk about taxing the rich or implementing well-beiing

measures, you´re termed as socialist or commune. Total nonsense. Capitalism is far from perfect, BUT it´s the only system which works! BUT, it doesn´t have to rip you through your flesh like a shark to prove the premise right!

[cookieyy]

@DigoGcontaeanChlair I know that, I would have challenged @IcedCoffee81 on that but he never replied.

[cookieyy]

@IcedCoffee81 Wow I didn't know having some of the largest international banks was socialist. Also the US is pretty "sex crazed" considering it is the largest porn producer in the world. Now when you stop watching Fox News and believing the lies and propaganda, reply to me.

[DigoGcontaeanChlair]

@IcedCoffee81 MAN, YOU`RE SO WRONG! If you´d criticised its climate, its uncharismatic people, its eternal psychological colonial attachment to England or lack of

a national identity I could agree with you! And c´mon, pervesion, anorexia, immorality, anti-religious practices exist in every corner of the world!!!!!!

[SkydiveTheHedgehog]

@jsizzle2012

Oh sure, us Canadians are so filthy. Give me one good reason why before you start making claims like that. CanaDAH is a good country, you fool. Have you ever been to the damn place? Fucking hypocrite.

[1988scottcarey]

rick mercer is dumb the cbc went downhill since 2002-2003ish now it's only good for christmas shows..

[G6R1E3G]

@1988scottcarey stop reading sunnews

[Gisela299]

...do you want something to smile? :-)

just-smile.info

[MrNumberFour]

OMG that means we can get rid of Harper? heheheheheheee I wish

[cutemtlboi]

According to the system we seem to have the first black female "president", Go Canada!

[TheSilverMoon5]

and harper was still re-elected, in majority, ehhhhhhhhh???????

[ssokolow]

@TheSilverMoon5 Flaw of our voting system. See watch?v=s7tWHJfhiyo

[DarthBobify]

I would love to live in canada people there are so damn nice :L better than this place i live in-.-

[MadaxeMunkeee]

It's a lot like New Zealand lol

[hckyroxs]

@MadaxeMunkeee I always thought Canada was very similar to New Zealand too!

[fleuve0styx]

This is actually pretty good. XD

[skyscraper03]

I think in order to finally convince Quebec to fully support Canada as a member and friend, we should end the British monarchy in Canada. I want them to speak English, I don't want to humiliate them, and most of all I don't understand why we should have a queen as our head who lives in our country one or two weeks in a year... God bless Ontario, god bless Quebec, god bless the Canadian!

[AirForcedude5]

Wow I now know everything I wanted to know about our neighbor up north, but was too afraid to ask!

[Anguished2]

Good government? Well... it's kind of iffy at this point. :/

[TheSilverWatch]

*Stephen* is a Fascist Corporate Christian Conservative....PIG. I hope his daddy God beats the hell out of him for being such a BULLY.

[gritzydgb8]

@TheSilverWatch Take it easy leftard, move to Denmark if u wanna live in socialism.

[TMJones1971]

Love you Rick :) Come see us at the World Pond Hockey Championships this winter ok? Plaster Rock, New Brunswick ... you'll probably have to Google Map the place and don't blink on your way by or you'll miss us ... but we have a great time every year ! Well worth the time and effort to get here ... take care,

Theresa

[Devinfrbs]

I must say that I did not make those decisions personally. So.. uh. Blood on Canadians hands who are 73 + 18 (Since it is not direct murder 18+ to be tried as adult) years of age who worked in the government at that time. Since everybody else was busy trying to feed their family.

[bmanyoupoop]

@ihatecanada32 good for you too bad NOBODY CARES! So stop obsessing over it.

[ihatecanada32]

Canada will not tell you that it expatriated more than 8,000 Canadian Jews to Germany in 1938!!!! Canada also refused to provide safe haven for millions of Jews requesting it. BLOOD ON YOUR ANTI-SEMITEC HANDS CANDA! SHAME ON YOU!

[yomamasapeach]

@ihatecanada32 Hey look, we sent german POW's to Canada and we are much more better than the british who didn't accept the jews nor some of the Americans. Thats why Israel was created and now look what has happened.

[DigoGcontaeanChlair]

@yomamasapeach MORE BETTER?! Are you related to George W.BUSH?

[yomamasapeach]

@DigoGcontaeanChlair Guess what, I am.

[DigoGcontaeanChlair]

@yomamasapeach Figures....your grammar shows it! hahahahah

[yomamasapeach]

@DigoGcontaeanChlair tank you, i en joy tht vry mcuh

[CanadaDan1971]

@ihatecanada32 If Canadians are so disgusting why are you so obsessed with them? Here's a simply plan; if you hate Canada so much stop obsessing about it and get on with your life.

I know the answer thought. You need the attention and you can't do anything worthwhile to get it. You don't really care about Canada or the Jews, you just like winding people up, getting attention. Make up for the attention you never got, or get now.

Enjoy being part of the problem, hater.

[Jethromcsheepherder]

@CanadaDan1971 HERE HERE!!

[CanadaDan1971]

@Jethromcsheepherder Thanks for the support.

[DigoGcontaeanChlair]

@CanadaDan1971 It´s easy to understand why Americans don´t fancy Canada very much. It´s so much better. Canadians don´t even have a national identity, you´re either French or English Canadian, and such communities are not very fond of each other, and, c´mon, you still sing God save the Queen... and let´s face it, Canada´s this huge freezer with areas colder than Scandinavia!

[CanadaDan1971]

@DigoGcontaeanChlair (Not bothering to look up while examing his fingernails for dirt) Sure, whatever you say.

[OnRockIT]

@DigoGcontaeanChlair Yeah but we're not the country trillions of dollars in the hole.  At least we don't re elect idiots for a 2nd term. In Canada, we recognize idiots and call for elections.

[BoredomCorner]

@OnRockIT Unfortunately, we lost all right to preach about Bush, after we promoted Harper to absolute power, right after he dug us into the hole and assaulted us.

[janer1977]

@OnRockIT how do we explain Harper? lol. Talk about idoits.

[OnRockIT]

@janer1977 I don't know about you, but I voted Liberal.

[DigoGcontaeanChlair]

@OnRockIT Still, if thank USA you still exist, backyard!

[DigoGcontaeanChlair]

@OnRockIT Of course you aren´t. Excuse me, but how many people are there in Canada? KKKK Who stick out their necks to keep the world in order?

[OnRockIT]

@DigoGcontaeanChlair Sticking their necks out? Elect Ron Paul and you guys will stop taking the worlds burden on your shoulders and stop saying "look at us, look what we can do!" Do you want us to praise you like children? You took them upon yourself, Canada is helping as much as they can/want. We went to Afghanistan and border Pakistan.

[Sweetyfashonista]

@DigoGcontaeanChlair we don't sing God Save the queen...where did you find this? Though we don't have a single national identity (we are a diverse), in times of crisis we stand together.Diversity allows us to tolerate and understand each other thus allowing us to have an open mind and not a narrow one. So what if SOME of our areas are cold? We have tons of natural resources and many natives up live there and have been for thousands of years! if you don't like the cold, then live in the south!

[DigoGcontaeanChlair]

@Sweetyfashonista It was a metaphor! You still look to England with Colony´s eyes. AND, I don´t live in Canada. Empirically speaking, in Canada, your so-called diversity seems forgotten in hockey games! LOL

[TDPKendra]

@DigoGcontaeanChlair nonsense. you're either misinformed or deliberately obtuse.

[wobbledobbleish]

@ihatecanada32 I'd hate to break it to you but America also put a limit on the amount of Jews that could immigrate from Germany. By the way, why do you have a channel devoted to hating Canadians of all people. Why can't you be like the rest of us in America and just know Canada for maple syrup, hockey, and Justin Beiber o.O?

[eggs967]

@wobbledobbleish canada is a very great place to live and i wouldnt be happier anywhere else and we do more than u think buddy so f.u

[IrishBhoy12]

Canada was Founded by the Scottish, English, and the french. America was founded by the Irish, Spanish, Scottish, English and Germans

[SPmQQse]

canada...a racist police state

[thedarkone2134]

@SPmQQse Whatever :/

You don't even live here according to your profile.

[KevlarNinja]

@SPmQQse ........a guy who's never been to Canada.

[SPmQQse]

@KevlarNinja you havent been there... you should visit the place...... it's a  beautifull area of the plannet.....

[KevlarNinja]

@SPmQQse No, not only have I been there, I was BORN here. I was makeing the comment look like "@SPmQQse.....a guy who's never been to Canada" in responce to him saying that Canada was a racist police state, (shouting at SPmQQse) WHICH IT ISN'T!!!!

[SPmQQse]

@KevlarNinja no grasshoppa.....you are mistakened....canada is a racist police state......and cold too......i've experienced well over 60 yrs of the place......ive seen the changes,,,,, [you can return to yur video game now.....

[1988scottcarey]

@SPmQQse yah and it's harpers fault, harper dropped the soap!

[SPmQQse]

@1988scottcarey you must be young.......long b4 harper....try trudeau...and b4 him

[1988scottcarey]

@SPmQQse i see

[TheKatoom]

@SPmQQse There are racists everywhere. On a world-relative scale, we are not a police state, regardless of your personal opinion. I accept that you may believe we are overly-restricted by law.

[TDPKendra]

@SPmQQse fuck off ya troll.

[capefeather]

I don't even know what the big problem is with minority governments. The U.S. has general elections every two years. Canada still had a lower election rate in the past 7 years. I love how the conservatives in power today (not the moderate ones, poor souls barely have any representation now D: ) talk about "left-wingers" having a bloated sense of entitlement, and yet here we are, talking about having too many elections that cost less than $10 per person per pop.

[1988scottcarey]

Typical leftist american blames canada and wants to invade.

[littlee300]

@1988scottcarey You are either a clever troll or a really dumb person.

[cymrutroll]

cANADIANS, americans, same cunts

[waytomuchsparetime]

@cymrutroll You are terribly misinformed my friend.

[cymrutroll]

WHAT IS THE difference ? just thats ome of u are french or eskimoes

[waytomuchsparetime]

@cymrutroll Oh my, oh oh my. Canadians are way nicer and politer, we have a population of 33 million or so. We were founded by England and france, and the country was original populated by first nations. An eskimo is a first nation who lives in the north.

America was populated by first nations and was founded by england. They then bitched and fought and got their freedom from england, canada has not. And america has a population 250 million way more than canada. Canada =/= America, Canada>USA

[1988scottcarey]

@waytomuchsparetime yah but canada's bill of rights is very similar to the united states constitution even under the crown, americans don't want to admit they fought for nothing.

[waytomuchsparetime]

@1988scottcarey True

[EJJ7439er]

What is this mysterious land called "Canada"? Does this country really exist? Is it big or small? Is it on the other side of the world? Is it an island? What language do the people speak there? I've lived in East Detroit my whole life, and I've never heard of a place called "Canada"?

[iLuvBarRefaeli]

@EJJ7439er LMAO and your proud to admit that, joking or not, seems like your education system failed you eh.

[EJJ7439er]

@iLuvBarRefaeli I'm sorry I cant understand you. I don't speak Canadian.

[iLuvBarRefaeli]

@EJJ7439er Lol funny.

[93till1nfinity]

How many people have seen this video thanks to one of their profs/teachers ?

[hayleyandken]

how did Miley and Justin get into the comments.

????

lol.

Personally I prefer Marianas Trench (Canadian) and Jonas Brothers (American)>

lol. who cares ???? (:

[hayleyandken]

the comments have made my day! (:

[KingOfTheSantuary]

Screw canada -no regrets

[poci1211]

ww.youtube.com/watch?v=Ceg6NQK­Hd70 Believe me, after watching this you will be more confused :p

[1988scottcarey]

We can NEVER be united.

[1988scottcarey]

People don't forget what you tried to do to canada in 1775 and 1812!

[1978atcarroll]

@1988scottcarey yeah, because I'm 250 years old, right? Stupid Canuck.

[1988scottcarey]

@1978atcarroll You's a goof brah..

[oJKBo]

@1988scottcarey you mean when we invaded but were sent back by the british yet still managed to burn toronto and occupy montreal. Considering the fact that american expeditions north proved disastrous in and of themselves due to the weather and geography and better british training and presence its not at all something for you to be proud of. Congratulations, soldiers from 3,000 miles away defended you from an ill led, ill equipped, and ill thought out american invasion

[1988scottcarey]

@oJKBo just like occupy wallstreet?

[oJKBo]

@1988scottcarey ?

[1988scottcarey]

@oJKBo Pfft, just look up the battle of chateauguay and the Battle of Crysler's Farm. How about the Invasion Of Quebec (1775) and the Dummer's War? 10 000 from new france defeated 100 000 new englanders.

France and the indigenous people founded what was known to be Canada it was called New France before Britain invaded, that's why Quebec is still around and louisiana has a strong french population.

[oJKBo]

@1988scottcarey what? apparently you havent because you dont realize that it was poor planning on the american side each time that led to such results. You're saying what about the american invasion of quebec which was also poorly planned (see Arnold's expedition to quebec)? Dummer's war was between indians and settlers before the US even existed...?? louisiana doesnt have a strong french population, its only like 9% and youre referring to the cajun?

[oJKBo]

@1988scottcarey The US navy did considerably well against the royal navy, the americans repelled multiple invasions by tecumseh in ohio, the US controlled the great lakes throughout the war, just look up the battle of york, lundys lane which showed what american soldiers were capable of, battle of plattsburgh, battle of new orleans.

[cf80to01]

@1988scottcarey The people of French Canadien descent in Louisana are called "Cajuns" for a reason. They were deported from the Maritimes where they were, and still are, called "Acadiens". Over time "Acadien" became "Cajun".

[BrutalKillmaster]

@1988scottcarey You mean what we tried to do to British North America? Neither of those wars was principally about taking over "Canada" anyway. It was simply the easiest place to attack the british.

[1988scottcarey]

Americans= Nazi's

[rockallnight1212]

many people forget that Canada and the US are ALLIES. why are we arguing over whos better in a youtube comment section? grow up and swallow your pride

[aqouby]

I'm Canadian and I STILL don't understand Canada.....

[1988scottcarey]

YE Canada,Britain,Australia, Mexico, Indonesia and South Korea, is making a new union! Beware of the U.S.A and Germany!!

[Maklolm]

141 years of peace? Did he forget about WW1 and WW2?

[99vincent99]

@Maklolm I think he's refering to the fact that we've never had "civil war" in Canada. We've participated in wars abroad... but never in our country.

[Maklolm]

@99vincent99 Oh, I see. Makes sense ;)

[123456789099451]

@MrFataja Lmao you just got own by @dothedeed

[abbyxxoo]

All the good Canadians move to Toronto or the States. But most of them remember where they're from and can joke about it without being offended :)

[1988scottcarey]

I hope the U.S invades canada gives me an excuse to do things against americans.

[TheSuperman1221]

Everything I ever needed to know in grade ten civics was told in 6 minutes!

[RandomPonyProduction]

poor tv, always getting whacked :(
