something like that. I think that because there is a lot of
0
1510703
4440
25:07
tea or even sitting around a campfire and having a beer or
1
1507263
3440
25:19
and just a of nice places to calmly be. Maybe that makes us
2
1519863
4300
25:15
room in Canada and a lot of beautiful outdoor spaces. Um
3
1515143
4720
24:55
know if we're more kind. We might just be very open to
4
1495303
4640
24:47
I don't think we're any more polite than most people in the
5
1487183
3560
24:32
slide I'm going to end on. Um this is kind of a joke right?
6
1472223
3480
24:10
Very nice city. But these are our major cities. Toronto,
7
1450763
3760
21:19
charge of healthcare and other things in the province which
8
1279463
4280
23:49
now there are more major cities than this but our major cities
9
1429083
3240
23:44
million people. Now there's thirty-eight. Our major cities
10
1424343
4740
22:11
you go there. But definitely visit Ottawa. And we are a
11
1331363
4240
20:49
the beginning of June we had an election. And people came out
12
1249803
4160
22:49
Canada since the last time I did a lesson on Canada has gone
13
1369523
3920
23:41
school because when I was in school there were only 24
14
1421703
2640
22:26
vote for the mayor of your town. But we are a democracy.
15
1346243
3640
22:29
In Canada there are different political parties. As an
16
1349883
3680
21:06
COVID. In our country more of the responsibility for how to
17
1266443
5400
20:18
it's not similar to the US. I don't think it's a hard and
18
1218843
2920
20:25
flexible than that I think. But definitely the leader of our
19
1225843
3600
25:03
sitting around and chatting having a cup of coffee a cup of
20
1503623
3640
24:22
Winnipeg's pretty big too but those five would be our major
21
1462103
4800
22:00
summer. So if you do come to our country and if you want to
22
1320763
3280
24:39
But the message that they put on the sidewalk is actually a
23
1479703
3000
25:24
seem more polite. But I would just say we try our best to be
24
1524163
4280
24:50
world. I think in general Canadians are kind. But I don't
25
1490743
4560
22:53
up. I think it was 3seven point five million. Now it's 38
26
1373443
4520
23:27
any people. Actually I talked to one person when I was done.
27
1407503
3560
22:57
million. Uh and please what I said before we are a country of
28
1377963
5860
23:07
the world. That means our cities are very full and very
29
1387983
4400
24:18
Columbia and Edmonton and Calgary are in Alberta. Uh
30
1458263
3840
23:03
38 million people but we are the second largest country in
31
1383823
4160
22:36
convince you to vote for them. And then we have a free and
32
1356803
3720
24:26
Canadian cities. And are Canadians polite? This is the
33
1466903
5320
23:20
mentioned earlier I was in my local town. One of my local
34
1400863
3320
24:14
Ontario, Montreal, Quebec. Vancouver Hoover is in British
35
1454523
3740
24:42
nice message. It's like have a nice day. Are Canadians polite?
36
1482703
4480
23:35
million people. Uh well up from where it was when I was in
37
1415903
5800
24:04
which is close to Toronto but it's not nearly as big as
38
1444523
3000
23:31
So there was anyone at the park. But our population is 38
39
1411063
4840
24:59
people visiting us. I think Canadians generally don't mind
40
1499943
3680
24:35
Canadian vandalism. So someone spray painted on the sidewalk.
41
1475703
4000
24:00
not as big as Montreal. There's a city called Hamilton near me
42
1440123
4400
22:04
visit the capital. You'll need to decide whether you want to
43
1324043
3280
21:39
happy with decisions and a lot of people were upset. As I
44
1299343
4040
23:16
very many people you can easily find that aid in Canada. As I
45
1396823
4040
22:40
open vote. To see who will lead our town who will lead our
46
1360523
4360
21:31
It's kind of hard to judge whether someone did a good job
47
1291783
3640
22:07
experience the beauty of winter or the beauty of summer when
48
1327323
4040
23:52
would be Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton and
49
1432323
3560
21:43
mentioned Ottawa is our capital city. This is the capital of
50
1303383
4520
24:07
Toronto. Earlier someone mentioned the city of London.
51
1447523
3240
23:55
Calgary. Um there's obviously Quebec City as well. It's just
52
1435883
4240
21:16
governments. Because our provincial governments are in
53
1276243
3220
23:24
towns yesterday and I was making a video and I didn't see
54
1404183
3320
20:41
called the premier. And this is the premier of our province
55
1241563
3320
23:12
busy. But if you want to live somewhere where there aren't
56
1392383
4440
20:32
on TV. Especially recently he's been visiting and going to
57
1232763
3720
20:29
country is the Prime Minister and you've probably seen ours
58
1229443
3320
22:33
election approaches those political parties try to
59
1353563
3240
22:44
province and who will lead our country. The population of
60
1364883
4640
22:22
provincial election. We have municipal elections where you
61
1342243
4000
22:19
have a federal election every number of years. We have a
62
1339523
2720
21:55
place to go. It's very cold in the winter but very nice in the
63
1315963
4800
21:52
the cities that you should visit. I think it's a great
64
1312603
3360
21:35
in leadership during a pandemic because a lot of people were
65
1295423
3920
21:02
entire pandemic. And so he had a lot of responsibility during
66
1262003
4440
22:15
democracy. That means that we have elections. In Canada we
67
1335603
3920
21:47
the country of Canada. If you do Visit Canada. This is one of
68
1307903
4700
21:23
our federal government isn't directly in charge of. So
69
1283743
4560
21:28
Premier Doug Ford I think did a pretty good job so to speak.
70
1288303
3480
20:57
next four or five years. Um he was the leader through the
71
1257443
4560
21:11
deal with the pandemic fell on the shoulders of our provincial
72
1271843
4400
20:21
fast four years and you're done. It's a little more
73
1221763
4080
20:44
Premier Doug Ford. Uh he has been re-elected recently. At
74
1244883
4920
20:53
and voted for him again. So he is now the leader again for the
75
1253963
3480
20:36
summits and stuff like that. The leader of a province is
76
1236483
5080
19:56
have a prime minister as the leader of our country. We do
77
1196103
4480
20:03
Justin Trudeau. The Prime Minister lives and works in
78
1203783
3720
20:07
Ottawa. Our capital city. Uh and we elect a new Prime
79
1207503
3960
20:14
around it was just under four. Um I to check the rules but
80
1214903
3940
20:11
Minister every four to five years. I think this last time
81
1211463
3440
20:00
not have a president. Our current Prime Minister is
82
1200583
3200
18:23
It's kind of a funny thing to say. But that's what we use as
83
1103503
3360
17:17
then kind of forget it. But we are definitely a country with
84
1037823
3360
17:32
there's usually two columns on the of the cereal box. Uh one
85
1052903
3540
19:21
beside my house. Uh the Canada goose comes and goes. I think
86
1161543
4120
17:40
gotten rid of our $1 bill and our $2 bill. So we used to have
87
1060923
4400
17:09
grasp on English than the English speakers do on French.
88
1029343
4440
17:05
speak French only speak French but they probably have a better
89
1025903
3440
16:34
emphasizing it by saying A at the end. So yes we do say A.
90
994703
4640
19:40
So you have to be very careful. In fact yesterday I made a
91
1180743
3840
16:15
dogs are really cute eh? Or that dog's really funny eh? So
92
975123
4200
17:02
English only speak English. And the vast majority of people who
93
1022223
3680
15:28
the place where we have the capital of Canada in Ottawa.
94
928763
3160
18:20
sounds funny when you say that out loud. Looney and toonie.
95
1100583
2920
18:16
loonie's as our $1 dollar and two dollar coin. Sorry it just
96
1096703
3880
15:59
country to the US. We also Say A. Which is a funny little
97
959863
5300
13:58
lot of people that you either hear on the radio or that you
98
838083
3840
15:42
majority of Quebec speaks French. The vast majority. That
99
942623
3200
14:42
reason I think it's because it's so cold in the winter. We
100
882003
4400
12:44
things. Poutine. So what is poutine? Poutine was invented I
101
764163
6580
15:35
Canada. If you speak French you might enjoy living in the
102
935543
3280
13:27
gooey salty tasty delicious thing to eat. I wouldn't
103
807183
6360
12:26
it. It has a really refreshing taste. I don't drink a lot of
104
746723
3360
11:25
southwest of the province of British Columbia on the far
105
685983
4400
12:40
in aisle seven with the Coke and the Pepsi and all the other
106
760203
3960
11:12
matter where you live in Canada. 99% of this country has
107
672303
5880
12:15
100% natural flavour. So it must have some ginger in it. We
108
735963
4240
10:36
mounties will be there sometimes they actually do ride
109
636763
4440
10:41
horses and you can go and watch the mounties they do a show for
110
641203
4520
16:39
I've just said it a bunch of times. And we have two official
111
999343
3640
16:46
English speaking people. When you have any government
112
1006663
3120
18:08
out because it was a two dollar coin the word two and loonie
113
1088763
4660
18:39
So a toque is a winter hat in Canada. Not everyone this a
114
1119183
3980
18:43
toque anymore but definitely where I live people call this a
115
1123163
3680
19:48
in some goose poop. It was not very nice. I had to clean my
116
1188503
2880
18:34
comes out. The I don't know. That doesn't exist yet. Toque.
117
1114623
4560
18:31
don't know what we'll call the five dollar coin if it ever
118
1111903
2720
17:49
a $2 bill. But now we have what we call the loonie which is one
119
1069403
4320
10:11
a formal event. But the mounties are are national
120
611743
3600
18:05
coin. We started calling it a loonie. When the toonie came
121
1085443
3320
19:14
course have the Canada goose. Uh you see these sometimes in
122
1154183
3560
18:01
it. And we just started calling it a loonie. Instead of a $1
123
1081563
3880
19:44
video for my short English lesson channel. And I stepped
124
1184583
3920
19:51
shoes when I got home. But this is a Canada goose. In Canada we
125
1191383
4720
17:53
dollar. And the toonie which is two dollars. The loonie is
126
1073723
3960
15:53
US states I guess. Instead of having states we have provinces
127
953983
3360
16:05
thing we put at the end of sentences. So you might say
128
965163
2920
19:33
goose is nice. But what we don't like about them is they
129
1173103
3280
19:29
winter and then they come back. Canada goose is the Canada
130
1169423
3680
14:28
well or make people laugh have made it really big in the
131
868883
3440
19:36
tend to live in some of our parks and they poop everywhere.
132
1176383
4360
19:01
wear a winter hat it will definitely keep your head warm.
133
1141683
3320
18:57
your head warm in the winter but if you wear a toque if you
134
1137843
3840
14:22
of Canadians who have of their talents their ability to sing
135
862603
6280
14:53
become I'm not a good singer but I think maybe I'm kind of
136
893563
3040
18:51
in the winter. When you say something doesn't cut it it
137
1131643
2960
16:55
not everyone is bilinguals. Let me let me make sure that you're
138
1015703
3760
17:13
Many English speakers in Canada learn some French in school and
139
1033783
4040
16:11
prompting the other person to kind of agree with me. Like
140
971963
3160
16:42
languages. So in Canada there are both French speaking and
141
1002983
3680
16:24
agree with you. Uh it's pretty funny. It's used a bit for
142
984723
2840
16:30
here eh? Yeah basically saying it's hot and then I'm
143
990363
4340
15:49
provinces are I don't want to say they're like they're like
144
949703
4280
16:08
something like it's pretty cold out eh? And in that sense I'm
145
968083
3880
13:44
you come here and you go to a restaurant you should have
146
824303
2640
15:38
French speaking parts. There are some areas in Ontario. The
147
938823
3800
14:49
So we develop really good skills for entertaining. We
148
889683
3880
13:33
recommend eating poutine everyday. I think if you ate
149
813543
3320
19:17
my videos because they they tend to live in the river
150
1157743
3800
14:01
know as a singer, songwriter or as an actor or actress who
151
841923
4320
15:45
means almost everyone. Uh and even on the East Coast. So
152
945823
3880
14:56
funny. I think that winter helps produce funny and
153
896603
4360
14:14
country music. Um William Shatner from the old Star Trek
154
854843
4160
15:18
Canada is made up of territories as well. In the
155
918403
2920
19:25
there's two kinds. But one kind at least flies south in the
156
1165663
3760
13:36
poutine everyday you would start to put on weight. But
157
816863
3800
19:08
minus 20 degrees Celsius and you have to walk outside We of
158
1148923
5260
14:32
United States. In English when you say someone's made it big
159
872323
2880
19:05
It's a lot nicer to have a warm toque on your head if it's
160
1145003
3920
17:45
paper money for one dollar. There was an actual $1 bill and
161
1065323
4080
18:46
toque. In the winter it's very cold. This hat doesn't cut it
162
1126843
4800
18:26
our $1 and $2 coin. And it seems to work. I like it. I
163
1106863
5040
18:54
means it doesn't work very well anymore. This does not keep
164
1134603
3240
14:37
money. Jim Carrey is another one. So Canadians for some
165
877803
4200
18:13
we're combined together to make toonie. So we have toonie's and
166
1093423
3280
12:50
think in the province of Quebec. And it is made up of
167
770743
5120
17:24
I've shown you this before like anything you buy in the store
168
1044983
3680
17:57
called the loonie because it has the loon a type of bird on
169
1077683
3880
17:28
has French and English on it. So you can read both sides. Uh
170
1048663
4240
14:19
is actually Canadian as well. Uh there's a fairly long list
171
859003
3600
13:52
Canada is known for exporting a lot of celebrities. There are a
172
832963
5120
13:46
poutine at least once to see what it's like. Celebrities. So
173
826943
6020
17:36
side has French and the other side has English. We have
174
1056443
4480
17:21
two official languages, English and French. That's why I think
175
1041183
3800
12:38
would know what you're talking about. They would say oh it's
176
758083
2120
13:16
put the cheese curds on top and they start to melt a bit and
177
796303
3480
12:34
walked into a store and said where's the Canada Dry? They
178
754283
3800
13:11
like poutine. What happens is the French fries are hot. They
179
791823
4480
11:57
Dry. I'm not even sure this has anything to do with Canada but
180
717523
3960
11:44
every year there's always snow in the winter sometimes a lot
181
704543
3680
15:21
North we have a few territories. Uh so you can live
182
921323
3880
13:23
the cheese a little bit more. So it's kind of like this fun
183
803463
3720
16:59
aware of that. The vast majority of people who speak
184
1019463
2760
16:27
emphasis as well right? If I said ah it's really hot out
185
987563
2800
12:05
around the world drink Canada Dry. It is ginger ale. So it's
186
725483
5160
16:19
you're kind of prompting the next person to say that they
187
979323
5400
12:22
people to drink ginger ale as one of their choices. I like
188
742963
3760
13:19
then they pour the gravy on which is very hot. And it melts
189
799783
3680
13:01
very fresh cheese. And gravy or poutine gravy. Um it's not
190
781103
5880
15:57
there. I said it. I don't always like to compare our
191
957343
2520
16:49
document it is in both languages. So we're officially
192
1009783
5920
13:06
particularly healthy. Um but it's very very yummy. So I do
193
786983
4840
12:30
pop. When I drink pop I drink Canada Dry Ginger Ale. If you
194
750083
4200
12:10
a pop or soda that's made with some ginger in it. Um it says
195
730643
5320
15:31
But certainly a speak English you can live in any part of
196
931923
3620
11:18
snow in the winter. Remember this isn't a science lesson. If
197
678183
4080
15:14
province of Quebec which is a French speaking province. And
198
914883
3520
15:25
in any of the provinces you choose. Ontario of course is
199
925203
3560
15:06
territories. I live in the province of Ontario. Um I speak
200
906443
4520
11:02
very very dangerous and I would be extremely scared if I saw a
201
662663
4480
15:10
French because I used to a long time ago. I lived in the
202
910963
3920
15:00
talented people. So Canada is divided up into provinces and
203
900963
5480
14:46
all have to entertain each other while we wait for spring.
204
886403
3280
14:09
Justin Bieber, Drake, Celine Dion, Shania Twain if you like
205
849443
5400
14:35
it means they've become famous and they've made a lot of
206
875203
2600
12:01
we definitely drink Canada Dry in Canada and I think people
207
721483
4000
14:06
might be from Canada. People like Ryan Reynolds. People like
208
846243
3200
10:18
United States. They they take care of crimes that occur in
209
618783
3880
11:30
west coast it's very mild there in the winter. But most of rest
210
690383
5120
11:48
sometimes just a little but we are definitely known for our
211
708223
4640
11:22
you live in Vancouver British Columbia or if you live in the
212
682263
3720
10:48
polar bears. We have all kinds of bears in Canada. But the
213
648683
3400
10:45
people. That's a lot of fun. We're known a little bit for
214
645723
2960
11:07
polar bear. And we definitely have winter. So it doesn't
215
667143
5160
13:40
poutine is certainly something Canada is kind of known for. If
216
820663
3640
10:30
often see a mount in a show or on TV every once in a while the
217
630663
6100
12:55
French fries. With cheese actually cheese curds. Like
218
775863
5240
12:20
have ginger ale in our cupboard. It's quite common for
219
740203
2760
10:27
definitely the mounties are a symbol of Canada. You will
220
627183
3480
10:22
Canada that cross borders between provinces. So
221
622663
4520
11:39
cold sometimes fairly moderate but where I live we see snow
222
699423
5120
11:52
winter So I don't know if you recognize this. This is Canada
223
712863
4660
10:58
far up north where it's cold year round. Uh And they are
224
658603
4060
11:35
of the country will have some kind of winter sometimes quite
225
695503
3920
10:15
police force. I guess they're similar to the FBI in the
226
615343
3440
10:54
only country of course that can claim this but polar bears live
227
654963
3640
10:52
polar bear may be one of the more popular. We're not the
228
652083
2880
10:03
They don't all wear red uniforms like this. This is
229
603943
3800
09:56
police. But our national police force is called the Royal
230
596043
4000
10:00
Canadian Mounted Police. But we just call them the mounties.
231
600043
3900
10:07
more of the dress uniform or the one they wear if they go to
232
607743
4000
09:37
past time. Uh it's something that a lot of kids have play
233
577283
3880
09:29
freeze and we would play hockey on the pond it was a lot of
234
569063
4040
08:07
a cafe than a restaurant. At Tim Hortons you can get coffee.
235
487743
4240
08:52
hockey. This is one of our national sports. My
236
532403
2400
09:05
equipment. You have a hockey stick and you skate around on
237
545183
3240
07:32
beaver was very in the beginning the early days of
238
452723
5080
04:49
have a lot of maple trees we also have a lot of maple syrup.
239
289823
4120
05:01
is of course made in a lot of different parts of the world.
240
301943
2640
06:33
people have settled there. So Canada is known as a place to
241
393703
3120
04:11
Canada, O Canada, if I make this really Oh Canada our home
242
251583
4980
05:27
It's a lesson filled with Bob's random thoughts. But maple
243
327803
3480
05:12
fact I think One of the biggest crimes in Canada ever committed
244
312703
5140
07:22
beavers to use their fur to make hats and coats and other
245
442683
5120
08:34
where you go for a light lunch or for a cup of coffee and it
246
514283
4280
03:00
if you look at the Canadian flag it has a maple leaf in the
247
180883
2960
03:21
maple trees in Canada so we have put the maple leaf on our
248
201543
4680
02:16
happy Canada Day on Canada Day. That is the standard breeding.
249
136363
5080
05:36
the water evaporates and eventually you have a nice
250
336323
3000
09:17
Myself I played a lot of pond hockey. That means instead of
251
557383
3840
09:41
played. If they haven't played hockey most Canadian kids have
252
581163
3800
09:12
on the net. Um a lot of kids in Canada play hockey growing up.
253
552503
4880
03:31
sporting event or any large gathering is called Oh Canada.
254
211583
4480
08:54
understanding is that we have two national sports. Lacrosse
255
534803
2960
03:14
under a maple tree. If I don't like that tree and I move to
256
194423
3360
08:57
and hockey. Hockey of course is a game that is played on ice.
257
537763
4160
08:38
is uniquely Canadian. Although there are some Tim Hortons in
258
518563
4320
07:53
but sometimes they can be a little bit annoying if they
259
473763
2680
04:07
national anthems. Uh ours and theirs but ours is called Oh
260
247583
4000
08:11
You can get tea. You can get specialty coffees like
261
491983
3840
08:42
the United States. It's definitely a very very much a
262
522883
4920
08:01
You may have seen this restaurant. You may have
263
481203
2360
08:20
croissants or what we like to call croissants. Sorry all of
264
500303
3680
09:52
local police and we have city police and we have provincial
265
592803
3240
08:23
the French speakers out there. Not every English speaking
266
503983
3120
09:01
You wear ice skates You wear equipment. You wear hockey
267
541923
3260
08:30
Hortons. They usually order a croissant. Uh but It is a place
268
510223
4060
09:25
and I and my cousins would play on a pond. The pond would
269
565463
3600
07:41
beaver is our national animal. It's pretty cute but some
270
461723
3880
07:49
something that blocks water from flowing. So they're cute
271
469683
4080
08:15
cappuccinos and espresso. Uh you can get donuts. You can get
272
495823
4480
07:13
reason the beaver is important to Canada. Is because
273
433843
3640
09:47
little bit. Mounties. So our national police force. We have
274
587683
5120
09:44
at least skated a little bit and learned how to skate a
275
584963
2720
08:27
person in Canada orders a croissant when they go to Tim
276
507103
3120
06:17
hours drive from the border. There are people that live in
277
377903
3680
00:59
welcome to this English lesson about the country of Canada.
278
59423
4160
08:47
Canadian thing when I think about Canada. And of course
279
527803
4600
07:56
live by you. We also have a restaurant called Tim Hortons.
280
476443
4760
07:37
this country because it was one of our biggest exports. So the
281
457803
3920
08:03
visited this restaurant. It's probably best described more as
282
483563
4180
01:33
to the downtown of their city or to the largest park in their
283
93643
4980
06:36
visit if you enjoy the outdoors. If you enjoy hiking
284
396823
3920
07:45
people get frustrated when beavers build dams. A dam is
285
465603
4080
09:08
the ice and you chase a little black puck and you try to score
286
548423
4080
00:38
that are very important for you. I usually choose topics
287
38183
3120
09:33
fun. But hockey is definitely we almost would say a national
288
573103
4180
01:22
it's a nice day to have off. Um and we celebrate in a variety
289
82683
4080
03:57
team or a Raptors game or any kind of sporting event, they
290
237823
3520
00:30
go to work today. And I thought it would be a fun day to do a
291
30943
3240
00:34
lesson about Canada. My country. So I know I do lessons
292
34183
4000
01:07
my introduction. But Canada Day is July first. Today if you are
293
67243
4160
00:27
really nice day. It's a holiday. People don't need to
294
27703
3240
00:55
you can use to talk about your country as well. So once again
295
55943
3480
06:13
United States and Canada most people live within two or three
296
373703
4200
25:28
polite.
297
1528443
2360
07:27
clothing items. So the the beaver pelt or the fur of the
298
447803
4920
07:09
live around my place. Beavers usually build dams. And the
299
429243
4600
09:21
going to the arena. In the winter my brothers and sisters
300
561223
4240
07:00
place to visit. Our national animal as far as I know is the
301
420483
5600
06:56
If you enjoy the outdoors, if you enjoy nature, it is a great
302
416603
3880
00:17
the beginning of our country. Way back in time a bunch of
303
17063
4280
07:06
beaver. The beaver looks like this. There are beaver that
304
426083
3160
05:52
maple syrup that they've made themselves. It's delicious if
305
352583
3280
05:48
very often but we do have a friend who sometimes gives us
306
348783
3800
06:21
Northern Canada but the vast majority of our population
307
381583
3840
05:44
Maple syrup is not cheap. We actually do not buy maple syrup
308
344703
4080
06:25
lives in the south and that means that the northern part of
309
385423
3160
04:18
the slide. Maple tree. So a maple tree as I said is a very
310
258963
5840
04:37
in Canada you will see maple trees. Especially in my part of
311
277883
4160
05:55
you've never had maple syrup you should try it. And of
312
355863
4440
06:50
cool place to visit because we have a lot of wide open spaces.
313
410923
5680
06:09
within 100 kilometres of the US border the border with the
314
369223
4480
06:28
our country is very open. It's very beautiful and not a lot of
315
388583
5120
05:24
on it. This is not a lesson filled with science and facts.
316
324363
3440
06:04
such a large country. And because most of the people live
317
364863
4360
06:46
white water rafting or all of those things. Canada is a very
318
406523
4400
05:39
brown syrup which is very very sweet. Has a very unique taste.
319
339323
5380
07:17
originally way back in time people came to Canada to trap
320
437483
5200
06:00
course Canada is known for the outdoors. Because Canada is
321
360303
4560
05:17
is still the theft of truckloads or a truckload of
322
317843
3360
06:40
and fishing and hunting and skiing if you enjoy boating or
323
400743
5780
04:57
highly recommend that you try some maple syrup. Maple syrup
324
297703
4240
05:21
maple syrup I think. I have to check that one. Don't quote me
325
321203
3160
05:31
syrup you take the sap from the maple tree. You boil it down so
326
331283
5040
05:04
But Canada is I think one of the biggest producers of maple
327
304583
4560
05:09
syrup if not the biggest producer of maple syrup. In
328
309143
3560
04:42
Canada. Uh I live in the mid in the middle and towards the east
329
282043
4340
04:53
So whenever I do an English lesson about Canada I always
330
293943
3760
04:33
tree that you will see very very often. If you go to a park
331
273723
4160
04:46
you will see a lot of maple trees. And of course because we
332
286383
3440
04:29
here that it's easy to identify a maple leaf. So this is the
333
269443
4280
04:16
and native land. I don't know if you can see that there on
334
256563
2400
04:24
common tree in Canada. The leaf is very distinct. You can see
335
264803
4640
03:44
national anthem, and our national our national anthem is
336
224343
5320
03:26
flag. Our national anthem which you will hear if you go to any
337
206223
5360
03:17
the other tree it's also a maple tree. There are a lot of
338
197783
3760
03:07
middle is because there are a lot of maple trees in Canada.
339
187403
3560
02:56
is a Canadian flag on the side. We are simply proud of it. Um
340
176523
4360
02:48
People will wear hats like this today that say Canada on them.
341
168963
4240
02:36
you drive around. People will put a flag up. People will put
342
156003
3440
02:24
Canadian flag. It's a little bit wrinkly. I think we should
343
144243
4000
02:31
obviously see lots of little Canadian flags out there when
344
151923
4080
02:02
because it actually took a years for Canada to become an
345
122943
4020
03:03
middle. The reason the Canadian flag has a maple leaf in the
346
183843
3560
04:04
against a lot of American teams, they will play both
347
244743
2840
03:54
if you go and watch a Maple Leafs game which is a hockey
348
234343
3480
02:39
flags on their cars People will even paint little Canadian
349
159443
4200
03:40
a natural a national anthem, not a national anthem, a
350
220063
4280
02:06
actual country but way back in 1867 we started we were it was
351
126963
5520
04:01
will sing the national anthem and usually because we play
352
241343
3400
02:53
Uh I might wear this hat if I go out later. You can see there
353
173203
3320
02:21
And the Canadian flag. So my daughter gave me her little
354
141443
2800
02:43
flags on their faces. People will wear hats. I lost my hat.
355
163643
5320
03:10
When you watch live lessons when I'm outside. I'm sitting
356
190963
3460
03:36
I'm not going to sing it. But every country in the world has
357
216063
4000
03:49
called Oh Canada and probably you will hear this most often
358
229663
