JJ: makes video called "why don't Canadian YouTubers talk about Canada?" also JJ: "I don't really wanna speculate why these Canadian YouTubers don't talk about Canada"
@juliacoves5873
I noticed Canadian YouTubers across the genres never mention they are from Canada unless it’s in relation to shipping or something not being available here. You are the only YouTuber I can actually watch for Canada content of any kind
@kylekonop4801
I live in Wisconsin, so the northern border of the US but not actually adjacent to Canada. I've often said that I'd certainly encounter culture shock if I moved to Ontario - but I'd probably encounter more if I moved to Texas.
@Martnmaceda
As a foreigner living in Canada, I had no idea the creators were Canadian at all, it surprises me to see how little they mention this fact. It's so sad to see how much mainstream pop culture has a grip of the Canadian channels. I love ur videos because it provides so much great information about Canadian culture.
@lxUn1c0
JJ, I will say that, as an American, one of the reasons I subscribed to your channel is because of the insight I get into Canadian culture, politics, and social issues from your videos. I appreciate that you seem to make an effort to discuss Canada both as a part of American culture and as its own thing independent from the US.
@JJMcCullough
Reading these comments reminds me of that iconic scene from the Simpsons with George HW Bush: "Any questions? (pause) ...not about my hair?"
@cieproject2888
Gotta admire JJ for unironically entering the Massive Mop era of his hairstyle evolution. As a fellow 40-year-old, I respect the willingness to commit to the bit
@meowtherainbowx4163
For as much as people characterize JJ as a self-hating Canadian, he's not shy about talking about Canada and his Canadianness, and I respect that. It comes across to me as more patriotic in a weird way.
@ThatWasReasonEnough
This entire video ultimately serves to effectively prove J.J.'s criticism of Bill C-11. I'm an Albertan and these Youtubers (+Jreg)make up the lion share of my Youtube diet. The YouTube algorithm already leads to me consuming a lot of Canadian made content but that doesn't mean that I am actually consuming content about Canada. C-11 endeavours to further a sense of Canadian identity, but putting that task in the hands of individual Canadian Youtuber's clearly won't result in a proliferation of videos about Canada. The only lever the government has to pull is to pay these Youtuber's to make videos about Canada. Viewers would immediately sense the lack of artistic integrity turn away from such content. Thank you J.J. for encouraging other Youtuber's to make videos about Canada, hopefully they see the value in it.
@ishouldhavetried
I literally follow you because you provide Canada content. I watch your other stuff too, but you being "Canada commentary Guy" is why I started following you
@basedwalkingtours
My mother in law who is immigrating to the US from Canada stated: "No Canadian ever wants to actually immigrate to the US" as her and my father in law have paid over a million dollars for an investor visa to get green cards to the United States haha
@zebrother
seeing those canadian Youtubers talk about the US and Canada (and when and how they bring up Canada) really reminds me of the sitiation in the country Iive on (Austria), where I feel a lot of people also talk more about Germany and only mention austria in passing. wonder if the same also applies to other smaller countries which have a much larger, culturely similar neighbor.
@pricerowland
I think there's some precedence in traditional entertainment, as an American I find it weird how many Canadian entertainers move to Hollywood and never bring up being from Canada ever.
@tvguts
Being Canadian actually played a part in one of Strange Aeon's recent videos-- She was trying to recreate a beverage that apparently "tastes like nothing" by combining cranberry mike's hard lemonade and cucumber lime gatorade. She was unable to find either of those things (Honestly, even as an american, I don't really know where to find either of those things) which unfortunately means The Taste (tm) seems to be region locked.
@coletakkish4389
JJ's hair makes it look like he's about to start living in the backwoods of BC, leaving large footprints on the beach and occasionally being caught in the backgrounds of grainy photos from amateur nature photographers
@thalesvondasos
How's your glam metal career going JJ?
@Questions2Learn
Nice to see you rocking your 80s glam band member look!
@briangoldberg4439
i pretty much only watch your channel because you include a lot of Canadian POV. it's something i don't know too well and i appreciate having the input
@CashFinch
Kurtis Connor also has a whole series on his channel introducing his large American audience to the Canadian shows and commercials he has a connection to. Just an additional little tidbit.
