A review of "D'oh Canada," the most recent episode to involve the Simpsons visiting Canada (also known as "the one with Trudeau"). How stereotypical is the portrayal? What did they get right, and what did they get wrong? I tried to explain as many of the references as I could.

I think the scene where Lisa sees all her American heroes may be a reference to the autobiographical story "On the Rainy River." In the story, the author (a young American man) is drafted into the Vietnam War, and he drives to the Canadian border to cross illegally and escape the draft. But there, he is confronted by many American characters, including Huck Finn and Abraham Lincoln. This changes his mind, and he returns to America to fight in the war.

The Newfoundland song that Ralph sings is a song written for the show. The Simpsons actually asked a Newfoundland band called Shanneyganook if they could use their song “The Islander” but Shanneyganook refused after the Simpsons showed them the scene it would be used in. They felt as though Newfoundlanders were portrayed in a negative light so I guess they just didn’t want their song tied to something like that

I’m a Newfoundlander, I live in Ontario but I still have family in Newfoundland and go there often and I call myself a Newfie all the time! I’ve never once heard fellow Newfies say they were offended by it or think of themselves as a minority in Canada. We take pride in our beautiful province and we live our lives like any other Canadian. I’m sure many Newfies feel underrepresented in Canadian media and politics but other than that I’m unaware of any other ‘shared’ feelings. Also, yes we’re aware of the stereotypes, but I don’t think they’re much harsher than any other stereotypes for other places lol

​@@JJMcCullough Do you have proof of this JJ because you always seem to take a really dismissive and ignorant stance on Newfoundland in all of your videos (let alone never pronouncing the name right). You're sitting there smiling because you yourself think it's funny to mock Newfoundlanders. No one here thinks it's a slur they're just sick of the elitist bs from mainlanders like you calling us stupid just because you can't understand the way we talk. At what point is it discrimination JJ because maybe you're not old enough to remember but I had friends laughed out of job interviews in the 70s and 80s in Ontario just because they were from Newfoundland. People endured it for decades and never said a damn word which is why it's still so openly used today. I don't think you know the first thing about Newfoundland and you've demonstrated that in multiple videos over the years.

I happen to live in one of those Queen Anne Revival homes. Mine was built in 1895 in North Carolina. "Victorian" architecture is a name given to many different styles of home (Mansard Roof , Italianate, Gothic Revival) that was built in the years Queen Victoria was on the throne, and perhaps an older house built just afterwards, that has the characteristics of a home built during the time of Queen Victoria.

My Mom became a US citizen when my brother & I were 5 & 6 bc she said she wanted to be able to vote. I've regretted not becoming a Canadian citizen. It's my birthright & I'm proud of my heritage.

For the love of… Are you an alien? People don't watch a Simpsons episode _specifically to find out how Canada regulates healthcare._ Rather, they watch the episode, they possibly don't question the statement, and then quite possibly, as so often happens with knowledge, they forget where they heard it, and don't notice they haven't confirmed it because now it just feels like knowledge. This kind of thing happens to everyone without them even noticing. Also, you must be a pretty cruel person to think someone deserves to have bad things happen to them because they're unintelligent.

It's not just The Simpsons though. This is a very consistent running joke in American media. 30 Rock for example did an almost identical "accidentally in the hospital in Canada and it's free!?" joke in nearly the same set-up. One singular joke about this would not be a big deal but creating an image of Canada that implies people can just walk in sick and be treated for free, when that's not actually true, is dangerous for anyone seeking medical attention and potentially trying to use that opportunity. I do believe that's all JJ was getting at.

When I was six or seven we went to Canada with my step father to meet his relatives. I remember having a magical time, saw snow for the first time (I'm from coastal California), chased crickets, ate rhubarb pie and saw the northern lights. It's one of very few good memories from my childhood. However, when I came home, I said "bloody" and "eh" ALL the time for months. Even as an adult I pick up on local language quickly, and as a little one, I was like a sponge. My mom was so frustrated trying to get me to stop.

as a canadian yes that is true but isnt it like that in each country? like does the life guard have to yell or something? also thats not a joke cause its true lmao. but it also depends on how many people there are in the pool, or who is saying it. for example, if it was not a life guard or employee or owner of the pool, why would i listen to a completely random person when they tell me to get out of a pool? also pools are always loud (of course it depends how many ppl there are) so if the lifeguard said it calmly no one would hear. of course they would need a whistle. but if there are barely any people, they would just calmly say "Everyone out of the pool please ", but still use a whistle to get everyones attention.

And the whole bit with "we know" probably would have worked better if the border guards said it because they all knew what we were going there for. Another amusing note, the local radio stations when advertising Windsor bars and clubs often had to specify "and Canadian money is always accepted at the bar" in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Sizzler might be a good American parallel to Earls. A decently-priced steakhouse-type restaurant my family would go to every so often to eat nicer food. My grandparents were fond of the salad bar, they'd often take their entrée in a to-go container and pretty much eat just the salad bar offerings, which were more than salad (tacos, fried chicken, ice cream, etc.). However they don't really exist on the east coast anymore. I've never been to Earls, though, and Wikipedia says it's within a genre of restaurant somewhat unique to Canada.

@@frankiecocca1060 If I had to guess it's probably just your accent shifting a little to in-between the two. Like I'm from a small town in Wisconsin and when I was a telemarketer I called someone in one of the southern states and they told me I sounded Canadian, but when I went to Thunder Bay, Onterio people could tell I was American from my accent. But then again both those people talked the same as I'm used to so I also don't know what to believe. I have been told by co-workers that I have a slightly more northern accent then most people around here so basically IDK.

As an American, I remember my first awareness of Canada was from tv ads that described where you could order things or enter contests. At the time, I think I divided the world into 4 categories: the lower 48, Hawaii and Alaska, Canada, and everything else that must presumably exist but was never relevant.

Because the medical field doesnt need to be insured because 1. Canadians cant sue their medical system and 2. The government underwrites the entire system! In the US it is required to have insurance, your insurance premiums change, usually go up. its a Private system, suing a physician seems to be a frequent practice so there is active competition among medical providers and there are quite a few other reasons that I wont list. But the bottom line is: Canada can afford to cap rates because the government pays everyone's salary that is in the system!

Apparently, they've been doing that for decades, but eventually three people died from it. It's Canada's passive, hands-off version of police-brutality, those people were Indigenous George Floyds. 😕

Years ago, a good friend of mine was on tour, doing sound for an independent label band. They were in Canada and my friend fell and messed up his knee. He went to a hospital for treatment and they fixed him up , assigned him a medical identification number and sent him on his way. He kept asking about a bill and the medical staff began to laugh at him after a time. There was no bill, they said that he was covered as a guest in Canada. They also told him to keep the number they assigned him in case he was ever in Canada again and needed medical attention.

@@JAlonge017 I'm not sure there's really a good analogue for Earls in the US. (Canadian here, spent a lot of time in the US.) It's definitely classier than Applebees -- I'd say the Canadian equivalent of that one is probably Kelsey's -- and it doesn't have an overt "theme" like OG or RL does. But yeah, I'd more-or-less agree with JJ in that it's a bit pricier than your average family restaurant, has a bit nicer interior, the lights are a bit dimmer, the waitstaff is wearing decently nice uniforms. It's the kind of place you'd take your significant other on, say, your 4th anniversary... but not your 1st, or your 10th, or any other big one.

I think you're wrong about Lisa's asylum claim. If she was a minor who arrived in Canada (especially if she was unconscious and required medical treatment upon arrival) she'd probably be assigned a social worker to act as her guardian in Canada. And that guardian might (if the situation seemed appropriate) initiate a refugee claim for said minor child.
