Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. Toronto is actually the capital city of Ontario.

For Newfoundland... on 9/11 all the plane were force to land the nearest airport. Gander is a small town but they had to host 33,000 people and there weren't enough hotels to cover all the "tourist". So the residence of the town allowed the "tourists" to stay at their homes until the planes got word they can fly again. 16 years later that story became a Broadway musical... "Come From Away" and that show got robbed of a Tony award. WELCOME TO THE ROCK!

The Canadian guy needs to brush up on his geographical knowledge of his own country.

I am an Acadian and I don't like how he said that we migrated to Louisiana. That makes it sound like we decided to move there on our own volition. We were mass deported by the British. The event was called le grand dérangement.

one small correction! The capital and largest city of Ontario is Toronto, not Ottawa. However Ottawa is the capital of Canada .

The capital of Ontario is … oh, wait 500 other people already commented on this.

The Acadians did not migrate to Louisiana, they were deported by the English from 1755.

Guy from Ontario doesn’t even know his own province.

Hehe.... Regina. Hope you enjoy this filler week episode! Thanks to all you Canadians that helped with it and especially guest star- Aaron! Update WHOA Sorry got the whole "Tornto/ Ottawa thing wrong! Haha, Ottawa is for all of Canada and Toronto is the capital of Ontario"

Fun fact: Many people learn Standard French instead of Canadian French in school, and thus have major difficulties understanding Québec French speakers.

Alberta: I'm the coldest! Newfoundland and Labrador: Hold my mispronounced name.

GN: "Winnipeg is the murder capital of Canada" Thunder Bay, Ontario: *"hold my beer!"*

Québécois French is different from France French because Quebec was colonized before the French Revolution. After the Revolution, France made a concerted effort to use the French of the commoners rather than the nobility. Quebec was part of the British Empire at the time and did not follow suit, leading to a bisection of the language.

@9:06 DAMMIT BARB, I HAD MY VOLUME ALL THE WAY UP AND MY FAMILY HEARD.

I live in Saskatoon. And we actually have a lot more going on in Saskatchewan than people give the province credit for. Saskatoon was actually name #18 on the New York Times top 50 best places to visit in the world

Stop it, I'm having Nunavut.

It seems to me that the word "sorry" is used to indicate respect and humility for the other when you have inconvenienced someone. It's not an admission of wrong doing, it's just an ingrained social grace to smooth things over after an awkward encounter. I'm from Halifax, Nova Scotia.

As a person from Saskatchewan, the bottom half is flat lands but the north is all trees. As for some things about us: we like camping and fishing, farming is a big industry here, we have the highest crime rates, like Manitoba we have a high Native American population, strip clubs are illegal because of archaic rules, drinking age is 19, we were the province that started free healthcare. Manitoba's quote "I was born here what's your excuse" fits us very well. Edit: How the hell did I forget Corner Gas, thank you Logi

As someone from PEI your info about us in 1800's clothes running through fields is 100% correct

1:21 Canadian territories *do* have their own governments and are not directly administered by the federal government as Aaron erroneously claims. The biggest differences between provinces and territories is that provinces receive their legislative authority from the Constitution whereas territories receive legislative authority from the federal government through devolution, similar to Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Alberta: 1:45 British Columbia: 2:28 Manitoba: 3:07 New Brunswick: 3:58 Newfoundland and Labrador: 4:47 Nova Scotia: 5:54 Ontario: 6:38 Prince Edward Island: 7:24 Québec: 8:03 Saskatchewan: 9:03 Northwest Territory: 9:56 Nunavut: 10:39 Yukon: 11:27

4:23 My great great grandfather immigrated to Louisiana from New Brunswick! He first immigrated there as a teenager from France and then decided he's rather love somewhere warm than cold so he immigrated again to Louisiana in his 20's. Thanks for talking about my family history!

Question: How much of the northern part of Canada is habitable? Answer: Nunavut

Acadians migrated to Louisiana? Yeah, at the point of a gun.

When I was younger I wanted to go to Pancake Island, but my parents were having Nunavut

Do the buildings of the Vatican! Hahahahh

People in Quebec actually speak a dialect of French that is older than what is commonly spoken in France now. One French king (I believe it was Louis XIV or XVI) changed the way people in France spoke by decree. This was after Quebec was mostly settled, so the people from there speak French a little differently than you would hear in France.

"I like how you pronounce 'Bilingual'" "We enunciate better" -> Immediately get an ad for Grammarly.

Don't feel any forcing that you have to do a germany states video because I see many peole asking. Just do what you're intersted in, and if you've the sources to do it. I'm from Germany and I can wait.

The Territories (Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon) do have their own governments. They just have less autonomy than the provincial governments, but they do create their own policies and legislation, have their own education systems, and have a consensus government called a Legislative Assembly (at least in the NWT). Guys, I don't want to be mean here, but a simple google search would have cleared this up for you. I know you have a disclaimer, but just because someone is from Canada, doesn't guarantee they understand how the country works.

Territories in Canada do have their own governments and they are called territorial governments ...as in Yukon Territorial Government....provinces have powers over resources and taxation that are not afforded territories....however, there are many things ( such as drivers licences) are issued by the territorial gov.....

Nobody: Museums in Nove-Scotia: *hey kids wanna learn about the halifax explosion?*

Could you do the autonomous regions of Spain? Might be a tricky one (Catalonia and Basque Country) but definitely interesting!

A correction on your initial comment RE: Canada's territories: They do have their own governments, but they are not independently sovereign, like the provinces are (ie: the provinces get their authority from the Canadian [originally British] Crown [which is why the provinces each have their own Lieutenant Governor], while the territories get their sovereignty from the Federal Government). Or put another way, the territories are creatures of the Federal Government like how municipalities are creatures of the provincial governments.

I enjoy your videos, you are among the few that are able to explain a nation's history and culture accurately and with proper context in a short amount of time. Keep working hard and doing great work!!

6:40 A guy from Hamilton doesn’t even know the capital of Ontario when it’s a 30 minute drive away

You don't really show where the provinces are when you present them. Just a suggestion to fix that next time

Territories have their own governments. They just leave more responsibility to the federal government than the provinces.

7:17 I personally find that quite amazing. 9:24 If Saskatchewan was part of US then the US map would look like a fist showing the middle finger.

Being from Regina Saskatchewan I knew he was gonna do that when Saskatchewan came up 😂😂😂😂

There is some things that may have been left out that I want to put out. 1. Canada first got its roots for the Confederacy in Charlottetown, PEI. All Starting with Sir. John A. MacDonald and Sir George Etienne Cartier. 2. The very first province that was settled by Europeans was Newfoundland by the Nordic People. They only stayed temporarily cause they were fought out of the area by the Native People. 3. Nova Scotia is the first actual landing site of French, British, Irish, and Scottish people, and is also one of the provinces with the most descendants of the Loyalists. During the American Revolution. 4. Annapolis Royal or during its time, Port Royal was once the Capital of Canada when it was still a colony. That is why when you pass by on the Highway 101, it says "Cradle of our Nation." 5. Canada also shares military personnel between provinces during the summer for the Cadet Organization. Sending Cadets aged 12-18 to different training centres for their experiences and new ways of approaching problems and solving them, as well as receiving their specific training for Air, land and sea. 6. Canada still has people of L'Acadie descent in the Maritime provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. They speak with a slightly different accent, and some words mean different than Québécois french and France. 7. Tim Hortons is one of our most popular places to get coffee (STILL IS) but it was beaten by the McCafe brand of coffee by McDonalds. McDonalds kept the original blend, making it taste slightly better than the current 100% Arabica Coffee. That's pretty much all I got. Hope this helps out in the end. Hello from Annapolis, Nova Scotia!

I think Manitoba is so unknown by people from other provinces because hardly anyone lives there. There also isn't really any noteworthy attractions to bring people, aside from Churchill, or hunting and fishing if you're an American. If you remove the Winnipeg greater area from the population, the rest of the province only has about 560,000 people. Realistically, Saskatchewan is more densely populated, and has many more larger centers (smaller cities) than Manitoba. Having traveled extensively throughout MB and SK, MB is BY FAR the flatter province! The Red River Valley is actually one of the flattest areas in North America. Even up north, Manitoba is insanely flat. You can drive from Emerson to Thompson (860km) with only driving over a few rolling hills near Grand Rapids and closer to Thompson. Saskatchewan as a whole is quite hilly, just not mountainous. MB is essentially a toilet bowl, with water from Alberta, Saskatchewan, North Dakota, and a bit of Ontario and Minnesota drain through Manitoba and into the Hudson Bay. Manitoba does have a lot of amazing places, but they are very spread out. You have to drive for hours to visit most of them. Some of the most amazing places in the province are fairly unknown and fairly undeveloped for public access. As someone who grew up in rural MB, the thing about MB that annoys me the most is how EVERYTHING is centered around Winnipeg. So much so, that it is helping kill off the rural areas, as services are being removed and people are expected to travel to the city for everything. Without those services, it becomes undesirable to live there, so business and people leave. Also, the people who have lived in Winnipeg all their lives often suffer from Perimeteritis, and can't imagine the province outside of the Perimeter Highway around the city. This gets very dangerous when politicians have this... Rural and Northern MB suffer badly. As a whole, I would say Manitobans are usually pretty humble people. I'm proud to be from Manitoba, but I really would like to move to Yukon, NWT, NW Ontario, BC, or yes, even SK! Too bad all of my family lives here....

Pronunciation: Charlottetown = Charlotte-Town

theres quite a bit I didn't know about my own country. Thanks for the upload, it was fun to watch.

Barb you should do china provinces!!!

The Balkan Peninsula next pls

There’s very little corn grown in Saskatchewan, mostly canola, wheat, barley etc.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but worth noting that Nova Scotia also has a sizeable French-speaking population, especially in Cape Breton!

I am a Manitoban, born and bred (although I spent a few years in Montreal in my 20s), and they're sorta right, we are generally outdoors-y types. Lots of people own or rent cottages on one of the roughly 100,000 lakes we have here, and hiking, camping, snowmobiling, hunting and fishing are all really popular activities (I know a few people who hunt, but I don't think it's as common as the others on that list). It gets really cold here in the winter, and fairly hot in the summer - we are actually one of the places that has the greatest temperature extremes in the world. There are 90 degrees Celsius between our coldest extreme temperature (-47.8 C) and our hottest (42.2 C) - only a couple places in Siberia can top that. Normally in a winter we'll hit -38 C at least once, but we rarely get colder than that these days (climate change!)...the coldest temperature I have personally witnessed here was -42 C (wind chill was -57 or something crazy). In the summer, we've been hitting 37-38 C at least once as well, sometimes a bit hotter. As for Winnipeg being the "murder capital" of Canada, we have held that title 20 times out of the 37 years I've been alive. It's calculated on a per capita basis, so where you said 6 murders, I believe the stat is actually 6 murders *PER 100,000 PEOPLE.* Incidentally, that number is basically an all-time high (and was set several years ago) - currently, we sit at just 3.5 homicides per 100,000 people. If Winnipeg was an American city, we would currently sit 66th in per capita murders for cities over 250,000 people (between Santa Ana, California and Mesa, Arizona)*. *Those stats are from the last US Census, so things have almost certainly changed in the interim; if you want to compare apples to apples and judge Winnipeg's rate at the time of the last US census, there would be about 50 US cities with higher murder rates.

Can you do France's regions?

Cool thanks for sharing more about our country! I actually learned a bit too. :)

Dude, for an American your faux-Quebecois pronunciation of "poutine" is actually pretty spot-on! Also, I had no idea that "sorry" was a Canadian-American shibboleth (as is the name of my beloved hometown, "Montreal," incidentally). Cool!

Thanks for giving us some valuable screen time! Also just to clarify, Canada’s native people are collectively referred to as the First Peoples, which include the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. There’s hundreds of sub-groups and languages within these.

So happy you did Canada! Us Canadians (and half-Canadians in my own case) thank you! Suggestions for future regions: China, Mexico, the United Kingdom (like the Hebrides, Orkney Islands, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, etc), Italy, and Japan. Keep up the great work!

In my village of Menstrie in Clackmannanshire, near Stirling in Old Scotland there is a park called Nova Scotia Gardens because of Menstrie’s historical connection to the province: King James VI of Scotland’s chartered lieutenant to Nova Scotia was born in Menstrie Castle. The flag flying there alongside the St. Andrew’s Cross confounded me for years until I noticed the information board I had obviously been walking past for years without seeing.

Another great video guys! Keep it up.

Please make limberwisk's provinces now. Im very confused!

States of Germany next!

Awesome:) I was looking for the pronunciation of the territories, but this video was so attractive and made me watch it all:)

Thank you for mentioning the Navajo connection. 800 years ago a migration of dene went south. My late wifes family speaks dene wich is still close enough to Navajo that they can understand each other so i hear from a first hand source.

Here's some ideas for the administration division vids Mexico Germany Sweden Poland Egypt Indonesia Spain France Greece Italy Jordan Reply with more ideas if you want

Also, as a Manitoban, I pronounce Charlottetown as Charlotte-town... no 'ton'. So that's interesting!

Hooray for this!!!

Watching in the beginning was painful & I was moving on, but the information saved you. Be proud of your intelligence & keep sharing!

Do Australia please!

Can you do a video on the states of germany and their history?

Awesome video guys! I work out in Hamilton myself. Just a couple things, first, the island of Newfoundland has its own time zone, Labrador shares a time zone with the other maritime provinces, the accent out there can range from completely unintelligible to easy to understand. My father comes from a small town not far from Dildo (ha lol) where the accent is not well understood by city folks. St. John's has lots of people from across the country and is much easier to understand. Finally on that Nunavut pronouncing issue, it's "noo-nah-voot". Keep up with the great videos Barby!

Fun facts: Tuktoyaktuk is the northern most town (hamlet) you can drive to as of 2017. It's located in the Northwest Territories and is located on the Arctic Ocean, and is the only place in Canada that is accessible by road and touches the Arctic Ocean.

Should have mentioned that Regina is home to the famous Mounties (RCMP) training depot!

Provinces of Iran could be awesome. Very diverse and very cool.

("Montreal" Canadian).With still a Background thanks to my mom ("German") Speaking as well.1.English-2.German-3.French.

The mounties (Canadian police) are headquartered currently and historically in Regina Saskatchewan

You could visually tell this guy was from Ontario lol. This guy loves his pumpkin spiced lattes

I was waiting till you’d do canada, next you should do the UK, Germany or the Netherlands

Definitely the best Filler Week video!!!

Wow, as a Quebecois, I didn't expected such an effective description of my Province by 2 english speakers xD

Nova Scotia was not a colonization attempt by Scotland, that was Belize. The large Scottish population was largely the result of fleeing persecution by the English after the Jacobite rebellion

I think u should make a compilation of intersting things in every 10 episode.(pls ignore grammar mistakes)

Did you do the Netherlands or did i missed it. And thank you for al youre vids love them.

Your Québécois accent is kind of great, curious how much time you spent in Montreal ? (I'm assuming..)

Do a Italian regions explained video please!!

Please do the states and territories of Australia for a Filler Week video.

I'm Canadian I just pronounce it "Charlotte town" as in a literal Town {7:30}

Great video, guys

The way Paul pronounced poutine gave me goosebumps

The territories do have their own governments and can make their own laws. The difference is how their powers were delegated to them by the British North America Act, and later the Constitution Act. Also, The capital of Ontario is Toronto, while the Capital of Canada is Ottawa.

Hey Barby, just some random observation: I noticed at the Canadian map in 0:13 that the color shades of Yukon Territory (yellow), Northwest Territories (blue) and British Columbia (red) happen to have the same arrangement of colors as the Philippine flag's (although the Philippine flag is a white triangle but with yellow sun and 3 stars inside it, but yeah, you know what I mean).It's also interesting that the Yukon Territory is shaped like a triangle and the latter two provinces I mentioned looked like the flag's bands.

Hey, I never type anything on youtube videos, but just wanted to say, Canadian territories have their own governments and their own legislatures! The main difference is our territorial government budget is mainly funded through transfers from the Feds. I come from the Yukon, so just wanted to clarify!

Could you do the regions of Italy? Beacause the are so diverse

The cajuns “migrated” to Louisiana is a way to explain it, definitely not gonna mention that they were brutally forced by the British to go there (and other places) and that a giant percentage of the population died on the way there due to infection/starvation ect. 🙃

I love you guys I love learning countries . Can you make state videos pls

Thanks guys! I learnt a lot from ya

For Newfoundland pronunciation: need more emphasis on "land." He says it like an Ontarian, not like an actual Newfoundlander.

Could you do the historic (i.e. not ceremonial or administrative) counties of the UK (including Ireland maybe, as it was part of the UK for a long while)? There'd be a lot to cover (118 counties!), but you could cut it down to just a couple of sentence on each. Just a suggestion.

The territories do, in fact, have their own governments. The difference is the federal parliament can change the powers of territorial governments, their boundaries, etc. through legislation. To change provincial powers requires constitutional ammendment. Provinces also have extra powers, such as control over their natural resources.

The photo at 11:13 is of the Alaskan/Greenlandic group Pamyua. Highly recommend checking them out.

do the regions of Italy!

Fun Fact: Alaska's population is more than quadruple that of Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Yukon and Greenland combined!

Geography now should include the countries emergency numbers like what they do with the side of the road they drive on

You should do more Canadian videos please! Would love to see videos about Canadian politics possibly? Hello from Yarmouth, NS, Canada
