  • - Hi, we're Joel and Lia.

  • - And this video is 10 differences

  • between Canada and the UK.

  • Let's discuss.

  • (playful vocalizing)

  • - So we've never been to Canada.

  • - I've been!

  • - Oh have you? - I've been twice.

  • - Oh you, when? - But I was little.

  • - You were young.

  • - I don't really have memories.

  • - We just want to include Canada a bit more.

  • - Yeah. (chuckles)

  • - Because we already talk about America and the UK.

  • - We just leave them out, don't we?

  • - Yeah, we do, but, - Yeah.

  • - it's because there aren't many,

  • like these articles, we're discussing an article by the way,

  • on Huffington Post.

  • But people don't tend to write about the differences

  • between Canada and the UK.

  • It's always America and the UK.

  • So there's loads of stuff for us to do,

  • to do with America. - So,

  • we're just gonna tickle you,

  • tickle you a bit today. - Yeah.

  • Tease you. - Just tease you a little bit.

  • And we're just gonna discuss the article,

  • and say whether we think this is true or false.

  • - Yeah. - Especially about

  • the UK stuff.

  • - Yeah, and if you're from Canada, and you're watching,

  • go leave like a Canada flag emoji,

  • or just be like, "I'm Canadian," in the comments,

  • 'cause we'd be really interested to see

  • how many of you are Canadian.

  • - Say it just like that,

  • "I'm Canadian!" - Yeah, "I'm Canadian!"

  • (Lia laughs)

  • Right, so the first one is that

  • Canadians want you to have a nice day,

  • whereas Brits want you to fail.

  • - So it just goes back to the whole positivity thing.

  • - Yeah. - That like,

  • I know we've said it about Americans loads,

  • and maybe Canadians are the same,

  • in that they just genuinely want you

  • to have a nice day. - I know.

  • - But Brits don't really say, "Have a nice day."

  • Or they might say it, but do they ever mean it?

  • - I don't know.

  • Obviously it's all a huge stereotype.

  • - Yeah. - But Brits are nice people,

  • but there is just that deep underlying thing

  • where you just want someone to just

  • fail at what they're doing.

  • - (chuckling) Yeah. - I don't know why.

  • - It's so weird.

  • It's like embedded in Brits. - Yeah.

  • - It's like, (sighs)

  • it's like when you see someone

  • really trying to do something at the gym,

  • and you're like, "Just fall." - Yeah.

  • I know. - (laughing) It's so bad!

  • - About everything, and especially at the moment

  • with politics and stuff , like the Prime Minister,

  • everyone's just hoping that she'll fail,

  • and it's like,

  • it's so funny. - Oh no.

  • I do actually feel really sorry for her.

  • - I know. - I'm just like,

  • imagine being you, you're like a cartoon character now.

  • - I know, poor old woman.

  • - Poor old TM. - Literally old woman.

  • - Poor old woman.

  • - She's aged years since being in that role.

  • - That-- - Her posture's gone

  • from this to this.

  • - It literally has this now.

  • - Yeah, poor woman. - Open up darling.

  • - Open up Theresa May. - Have a nice--

  • (giggling) Open up TM.

  • And have a nice day.

  • - Yeah, TM the PM.

  • - Yeah! (both laugh)

  • The next one's about fish.

  • Canadians eat sushi, and Brits like to

  • deep fry their fish in batter, and have fish and chips.

  • - Yeah. - Yeah.

  • - I mean, is it a well-known thing then

  • that Canadians are known for sushi?

  • - Well it must be.

  • Huffington Post is saying it.

  • They say, "Stroll around Vancouver,

  • "and you will notice swarms of health-conscious,

  • "attractive people, lining up for their nearest sushi."

  • - Wow, I thought sushi was Japanese.

  • - Yeah, but. (laughs)

  • Remember when we were in New York,

  • and certain places, just like sushi everywhere?

  • - Yeah, sushi everywhere.

  • But to be honest, it's spread everywhere hasn't it?

  • - Mm. - London's very sushi.

  • We love sushi.

  • - We do. - We'd be more likely

  • to eat sushi than fish and chips.

  • - I think so. - Yeah.

  • - It's just more like on-the-go food.

  • - Yeah.

  • - We'd never be like, "Let's just get fish and chips quick,"

  • - No. - We're just not,

  • that's not what we do. - Fish and chips

  • would be like a treat, where you're like,

  • "Oh my gosh, I should not be eating this battered fish."

  • - Yeah, I'm about to consume like 4,000 calories,

  • - Yeah. - in one little tiny tray

  • of fish and chips. - Yeah.

  • - So. - I also think

  • it's generational.

  • - Mm-hmm. - I think my grandparents,

  • my parents' and grandparents' generation

  • would eat fish and chips,

  • whereas-- - Especially on a Friday.

  • - Yeah. - Yeah.

  • - Whereas we would be more likely to order sushi.

  • - Oh, and we've done that. - Yeah.

  • - We've done like, I've done delivery sushi to my house.

  • - It's great. - So maybe we're

  • a bit more Canadian.

  • - I just hate sashimi.

  • Anything with like raw fish or salmon. (gags)

  • - Oh, I love salmon!

  • Oh, nigiri.

  • - Right, so the next one is that

  • Canadians go out for one beer,

  • whereas Brits will have six

  • before even leaving the house. (chuckling)

  • Which we've spoken about - It's so true,

  • isn't it? - drinking before.

  • - It's so true. - Yeah.

  • - It's really bad.

  • Like the whole - Yeah.

  • - like pre-drinks, - I know,

  • - the whole British attitude towards alcohol.

  • - And if-- - It's like,

  • "Oh I can't possibly go out and just have one."

  • - No. - Why would anyone do,

  • we would. - Yeah.

  • 'Cause we're lightweights. - 'Cause that's all it takes.

  • But there's just so many Brits that would just be like,

  • "No, if I'm gonna drink,

  • "I'm drinking to get drunk. - Yeah.

  • Yeah. - "I'm not just

  • "gonna have one, why would I do that, makes no sense."

  • - We're probably making it worse as well

  • by all the Prosecco.

  • The amount of people, like we've said, that are just,

  • like I did a video on my channel about my three addictions.

  • - Oh yeah. - Pepsi Max, sugar, pizza.

  • - Yeah.

  • - And they were like, "What about Prosecco?"

  • And I was like, "I'm not addicted to Prosecco."

  • - Oh! - I'll have Prosecco maybe

  • like twice a month or something,

  • but, - Okay.

  • - the perception we've put out there,

  • - Yeah, the-- - is that we drink Prosecco

  • every single day. (chuckling)

  • - Like I get family members,

  • hi Yaya, my grandma, (Joel laughs)

  • watching, saying, "You need to really look at your drinking,

  • "and you need to slow down and stop."

  • And I'm like, "Oh it's part of a performance.

  • "It's like a little character thing.

  • - It's just our thing. - "It's just like,

  • "it's our thing."

  • - Yeah. - But it's not, it's not.

  • So it's not a problem.

  • - It's not a problem.

  • - No one needs to worry. - We don't have a problem.

  • - Saying that, I did have two glasses

  • of Prosecco last night, but that was just for fun.

  • - Yeah, do you know what? - What?

  • - Last Saturday,

  • - Yeah. - I went to see my friends

  • near where my parents from

  • in Hampshires. - Yes!

  • - They've just moved there. - Yes.

  • - A glass of Prosecco, guess how much.

  • - Seven pounds.

  • - Three pound 95. - Stop.

  • - Three pound 95! - Stop!

  • - Yeah! - Stop.

  • - So cheap!

  • It's a minimum of like seven pounds in London, isn't it?

  • - (laughing) Oh I thought you were gonna say,

  • "It's a minimum of seven on card,

  • "so I had to buy like five." - Oh right.

  • So I had to buy two.

  • (both chuckle)

  • - So the next one is that Canadians think that

  • Britain is a place of magical castles and royalty,

  • and Brits think that Canada is basically just America.

  • (Joel laughs) So,

  • - Which is kinda true. - It's kinda true.

  • - I mean, that is true, because Canada,

  • I've learned, Canada is America.

  • We Brits call the US America.

  • - Yeah. - And then,

  • Mexico is something different,

  • Canada is something different,

  • but it's all America, apparently.

  • So technically we're right. - But isn't that,

  • isn't that offensive?

  • Is it offensive to call, - No that's true.

  • That's the continent is America.

  • - Oh! - All like North America.

  • - So why have they got a problem

  • with that? - Yeah.

  • (Lia laughs) Get over it.

  • - Get over it.

  • Guys, seriously. - I know.

  • - Canadians get triggered, - They do.

  • Do you remember that audition? - when they get called

  • American. (gasps)

  • - And everyone there was American, except me and Lia,

  • and a couple of Canadians. - Yeah.

  • - And I said something like that.

  • I was like, "Everyone here's American," they were like,

  • "I'm Canadian." - "I'm Canadian."

  • - I was like, "Well you sound American." (laughs)

  • - It was amazing, that was so funny.

  • We haven't heard back from that, have we?

  • - No. - No.

  • - It's probably 'cause we insulted the Canadians.

  • (both laugh) - It's probably why,

  • probably why we didn't get the job.

  • - I know, but the UK definitely isn't, I mean, actually,

  • I was gonna say it definitely isn't full of castles,

  • but it definitely is full of castles.

  • - Oh there's loads.

  • We were looking at some

  • - Yeah. - the other day online,

  • weren't we? - Yeah were were gonna

  • stay in a castle.

  • - (laughing) Do some filming there.

  • - Literally it's just so normal,

  • you're just like, - Just to perpetuate that

  • - castle. - idea more.

  • (both laugh) - Yeah.

  • - Amazing. - But it definitely

  • doesn't feel magical.

  • - No, I don't think so.

  • Though there's some, there's a little bit of magic.

  • - Yeah. - If you go

  • to places like Edinburgh, you're like,

  • "Ooh, this feels quite Harry Pottery."

  • - Yeah.

  • - But they're, no.

  • - No. - Not much, no magic really.

  • - No, it's just the UK, isn't it?

  • - It's just the UK. - It's just rainy, and--

  • - It's just rain and fish and chips.

  • - Yeah.

  • (both laugh)

  • So the next one is that Canadians think

  • Toronto is like really crowded,

  • whereas when the London Olympics was here in London,

  • we were just like, "Oh it's a little bit busy,

  • "but it's not--" - Yeah.

  • When the London Olympics were going on, we were like,

  • "Oh, it's just a nightmare,

  • "trying to walk through - Yeah.

  • - Westfield." (laughs) - I know.

  • - But yeah, it's chaos.

  • - It is absolute chaos, but that's because

  • our island is so small,

  • and we've got so many people living here

  • that everywhere is busy.

  • London's more busy, - Yeah.

  • - than the rest of the country,

  • but everywhere is busy, whereas, I was gonna say Canadia.

  • - Canadia, oh yeah. - Whereas Canadia

  • is so spread out.

  • There's so much space. - Yeah.

  • You had to remind me the other day

  • that we're an island.

  • - Yeah, we're an island. - Yeah, you just went,

  • "The UK is an island." - Yeah, I was like,

  • "We live on an island." - It's like, island life.

  • - Island life. - And I was like,

  • "That's so true." - Yeah.

  • - That is, it blew my mind,

  • 'cause I forgot that we were an island.

  • (both chuckle)

  • - But that is again why we don't,

  • why I always forget to call ourselves Europe,

  • why I'm not, "Oh, we're going to Europe."

  • Because we're an island,

  • we tend to think we're separate from everything.

  • - Yeah, I mean we made a video on that,

  • - Yeah. - about, and that

  • also triggered loads of people.

  • - I know,

  • so many triggers going on. - That was when we were like,

  • (chuckles) "We're not part of Europe,

  • really." - Yeah.

  • - And now look, Brexit. - Brexit.

  • - Huh. - Who knows.

  • Is it gonna happen? - Who knows?

  • Who knows? (Joel blows lips)

  • So the next one is that Canadians enjoy

  • definite seasons of the year,

  • whereas Brits enjoy a three day summer,

  • and it's so true. - So true.

  • - That is so true, like what would we give, to just know?

  • What if someone said, "Guaranteed,

  • "every single day in June, July, sunshine?"

  • - That would be amazing.

  • And equally, in winter, snow, cold weather,

  • snow, snow, snow. - Snow.

  • - It'd be great. - If we just knew

  • what was coming, - Yeah.

  • - we could, I think we'd all be in a better place,

  • mentally. - In February,

  • in the middle of winter, in February,

  • we had the most beautiful days

  • that were over 20 degrees centigrade.

  • Like, ridiculous. - That shook me.

  • That shook all of us.

  • - We were all in shorts and T-shirt, we were loving life,

  • and then we were reminded,

  • global warming is not a good thing. (chuckles)

  • - And then the next day,

  • you know two days later, - Cold.

  • - cold, a bit of rain. - Mm, mm-hmm.

  • - That was crazy. - Yeah.

  • Number seven is that Canadians head to yoga,

  • whilst Brits head to the kebab house,

  • which I don't think is true.

  • - Oh, I don't think that's true.

  • I mean maybe we're a bit in a bubble,

  • 'cause we're in London, and we're around very,

  • a lot of health-conscious people,

  • - Yogis. (chuckles) - a lot of yogis,

  • a lot of yummy mummies, a lot of, yeah.

  • - Yeah. - Mindfulness

  • going on in the city.

  • But it just sort of goes back to the other point earlier,

  • about Canadians and the sushi

  • and the health-conscious thing.

  • - Yeah, it's true, and probably the weather makes up for it

  • because they'll have nice weather

  • during the summer, and we don't.

  • Most of the time it's quite cloudy.

  • You just wanna eat nice comfort food.

  • - Yeah. - You don't wanna work out.

  • - Exactly, and if you think about

  • our attitudes towards exercise, in the summer.

  • - Yeah, it changes. - We wake up,

  • we wake up at like, it's not a problem

  • to wake up at half five,

  • - Yeah. - 'cause the sun's

  • waking you up, and then you actually,

  • you might want to just go out

  • and walk. - Yeah.

  • - If I think about,

  • 'cause I don't really like walking in the cold,

  • but when it's nice and sunny,

  • - Mm. - I can walk for hours,

  • - Yeah. - and I'm happy to walk.

  • So it just makes sense.

  • It all comes down to the weather, guys.

  • (Joel chuckles)

  • - So the next one is that Canadians love

  • the royal family here in the UK,

  • and that we Brits, ironically love them.

  • So meaning as in like, we don't really like them,

  • but we sort of, we like what it comes with.

  • We like a day off when there's a royal wedding, and,

  • - Yeah.

  • - and, but I don't think that's true.

  • - No. - I think most Brits

  • like the royal family.

  • - Yeah, I'd say most Brits that I know,

  • - Yeah. - really do.

  • - Yeah. - I think I've met like

  • one or two people, max,

  • - Yeah. - that are like,

  • "I can't stand the royals." - Yeah.

  • And they're usually sad

  • and lonely people. - Lonely people.

  • And I, we love celebrating the royals.

  • - Yeah. - We're like, "Oh my gosh,

  • "royal wedding!"

  • That we get so excited. - I know.

  • - Street parties, get all the bunting out guys.

  • We bloody love a party. - Yeah.

  • They're great.

  • We love the royals. - I love them.

  • - Yeah.

  • - So we'll disagree with the fact that

  • - Yeah. - we ironically love them.

  • We just love them. - We love them

  • with a whole heart.

  • - We would love to invite them over,

  • - Yeah. - and have them,

  • I've got the Queen's birthday

  • in the diary. - Yeah.

  • - I think it's June the 8th. - Mm-hmm.

  • - I just like knowing. - Yeah.

  • - I'm not invited, but. (chuckles)

  • - We wanna do a collab with Meghan Markle and Harry,

  • and just sit them down and apologize

  • for the video that we made about them.

  • - Yeah we really need

  • to apologize. (Joel sighs)

  • - Yeah. - I think Meghan and Harry

  • have probably seen that video. - I think they probably have.

  • - Who doesn't Google their name

  • when they're a massive celeb? - Yeah.

  • They probably watched the video, we've watched,

  • they've watched us call Prince Harry ugly,

  • and say that we don't trust Meghan,

  • and now we've changed our mind and we love Meghan,

  • and Harry is a handsome chap. - I can't believe,

  • which one of us said, was it me?

  • Or you? - For what?

  • - Prince Harry's ugly. - I said Prince Harry's ugly,

  • and then you agreed. - I, yeah.

  • - But when I said ugly, it was just a throwaway comment.

  • I don't mean he's ugly.

  • I don't think he's ugly at all,

  • but I was just meaning he's nothing special.

  • He's not like, drop-dead gorgeous, see what I mean?

  • - Yeah, he's not like my boyfriend.

  • - He's not like me, for example.

  • - (laughing) He's not like you.

  • He's no Joel Woods. - He's no Joel Woods, but.

  • (both laugh)

  • - Us jokes. - I know.

  • And then, but then to be fair,

  • - Oh my gosh, I've--

  • we said that we didn't trust Meghan to start with,

  • - Okay. - but now we do.

  • - Yeah. - We said that in the video.

  • - We said, in a video, we don't believe her,

  • - Yeah. - because she's an actress,

  • and we take that back.

  • And we wanna apologize to Meghan.

  • - Yeah, so this is a public apology

  • to Meghan. - A public apology

  • to Meghan Markle.

  • Legit.

  • So the next one's to do with currency.

  • Apparently Canadian dollars look like Monopoly money,

  • - Mm-hmm. - which I think's hilarious.

  • - Yeah.

  • - And British pound sterling looks like

  • - Ancient scrolls, apparently. - Yeah. (laughs)

  • - I like our money,

  • but it's now become very like Australia's money,

  • which is, it's all plastic.

  • The notes are sort of plasticky,

  • - Mm. - and you can put it

  • in the washing machine, and it will still work.

  • - I love cash,

  • and hardly ever have it. - Yeah,

  • but we need it. - Like how often do you

  • go to the cash point and draw out cash?

  • - Never ever, only old people do that.

  • - Yeah. - Yeah.

  • - 'Cause that's still their way

  • of buying stuff. - That's still,

  • yeah, whereas us, we're like, "No, debit card."

  • - Yeah, not even, I don't even like cards.

  • I'm just on the phone. - Oh yeah, Apple Pay.

  • - Beep, beep, beep. - Ding, ding, ding.

  • I know. - So I'm cashless

  • and cardless, I'm just phone now.

  • - Yeah.

  • - That's crazy, how far we've come.

  • But anyway, the point was about money.

  • - Yeah.

  • - British pound notes are apparently ridiculous. (chuckles)

  • - Wow. - Oh yeah.

  • - Well thanks. - Thanks. (laughs)

  • - So the last one is that Canadians

  • will say thank you, as they hop off the bus,

  • whereas Brits will get into an argument for 10 minutes

  • with the bus driver, for not letting them on,

  • because they don't have the correct cash to use the bus,

  • (Lia laughs)

  • because they spent all of it at Wetherspoon's,

  • which is a pub.

  • - Amazing.

  • - Which is funny.

  • I like that stereotype. - That's so funny.

  • - I don't necessarily think it's true, but.

  • - No, I have been on a lot of buses in the UK,

  • unfortunately.

  • (both laugh)

  • And people have said thank you to the bus driver,

  • - Yeah. - especially

  • outside of London. - Yeah.

  • - But yeah the arguments are real.

  • - Yeah, I think the arguments are less in London now,

  • because you have, they're all cashless.

  • You can't pay for cash on London buses anymore.

  • It has to be - Mm.

  • - contactless, debit card, or Oyster card.

  • So that causes-- - Or your free pass,

  • if you're over 60. - Oh yeah.

  • - Travel free, honeys.

  • - I wonder if tourists can do that.

  • - Well I don't know.

  • I know, what you mean like international?

  • Or anyone who's not,

  • 'cause my grandma can use hers in London.

  • - Yeah. - But she's not,

  • I still think she's a tourist.

  • - But, if you're like an American grandma,

  • can you come and use it for free?

  • - I wonder.

  • Surely not. - Yeah, probably not.

  • - Surely not, because then, how are they making money?

  • - Yeah, that's true.

  • - We need your money guys.

  • We need that tourist money. - We need all the

  • American tourists' money.

  • Sorry, Canadians.

  • It's about Canadians. - Canadians.

  • We did it, we are-- - For goodness sake.

  • - We are the worst. - We're the worst.

  • I meant American as in

  • the continent. - I know, I know, I know.

  • On that note guys, - Anyway.

  • - We hope you've enjoyed this video.

  • We wanted to shed a bit of light on

  • Canada, Canadian things, - Yeah.

  • - and we just wanted to show you guys some love.

  • - Yeah, we love all of our Canadian viewers,

  • and there aren't many of you, but we wanted to treat you

  • to a Canadian versus UK video.

  • - And if you're an American watching this, then just please,

  • thanks for watching to the end of this video.

  • - Yeah. - They really appreciate it.

  • - Favorite, leave a nice comment about Canadians,

  • 'cause Americans tend to hate Canadians,

  • and I think it's completely unfair.

  • - Tell a story about a nice Canadian

  • you've met. - Yeah,

  • and actually, as we've said in another video,

  • I've never met a Canadian that I didn't like,

  • - True. - whereas I have met

  • Americans I don't like. - Yeah.

  • - I think Canadia is the best country.

  • - Canadia, we love you!

  • - We love you.

  • Anyway guys, don't forget to click subscribe,

  • if you haven't already.

  • We post videos thrice weekly. - Thrice weekly.

  • And we'll see you next time. - See you next time.

  • - Bye. - Bye.

  • (playful vocalizing)

  • - [Lia] I think that Canadia needs to stick.

  • Is that what you said? - Canadia, Canadia.

  • - Canadia, not Canadia. - It's 'cause it's Canadian,

  • - Yeah. - or Canada,

  • so sometimes I get mixed up and say Canadia.

  • - Canadia. - I think that's better.

  • It sounds like an amazing country.

  • Canadia. - Canadia.

  • - So there. - "Where are you going

  • "this year?"

  • "Oh, we'll just be skiing in Canadia."

- Hi, we're Joel and Lia.
