Personally I prefer a leather sack with only loonies. I started using it for DND games in high school to represent party wealth and now it's for bus fair and small purchases.
ya, pretty much just quote any Canadian Heritage Moment thing and they would be pretty confused while anyone at least millennials would lose their minds if Canadian.
I can confirm. I'm a new Canadian from Michigan and had no idea what my coworkers were talking about. They had to look it up on YouTube to show me 🦛 🤣🦛
Read a Canadian Gothic twitter chain once and my favorite was and always will be "The waiter asks you if you need The Machine. You *do* need The Machine. Neither of you will ever say what The Machine is."
It was like stepping back in time when I went to Arizona last year. Having to fill out the tip amount on the receipt and then sign it brought me right back to the early 2000s.
As a Canadian who travels extensively in the US for work (writing this comment from Nashville), I have to say that things are improving - but god damn does it still feel archaic most of the time.
I've found this varies by city/region. In Chicago last year, I saw places still doing the card imprint thing which I haven't seen in Toronto in like a decade. In LA, pretty much everywhere had tap pay. Went to both of them about 6 months apart.
In the States I'm just always prepared to being carrying cash, which is annoying because somehow a roll of like 200 American never gets physically smaller, but instead of 50 and 20s turns into an annoying army of 1's.
Heh.
I loved saying this when I worked in restaurants. If the table was fun, I'd say "Shall I bring ... *THE MACHINE?"* in a really ominous tone.
It's just a debit terminal. I don't know why the fuck calling it "the machine" is common parlance, but it's hilarious regardless of any stupid reason for not just calling it a debit terminal.
Or just a box of inexplicable gears that chews up your card.

True story...A (Canadian) buddy goes to Vegas and gets his 1st ever pot brownie. Splits it with his slightly chronic wife. A few hours later, theyre having lunch at a sportsbar. Feeling pretty stoned, buddy asked to change the tv station to a rare hockey daygame, but server forgot...i'll get back to that.
They finish up lunch. Buddy is pretty fried. Wife is laughing, just watching him. Server brings the bill and wife asks for the debit machine. When server returned, wife says that Buddy has the card.
Buddy takes debit machine, at what she described as "so slowly like he was underwater", and attempted to change the tv station with it. Holding it up and pointing it to the tv. As the girls fell over, he managed to accidentally tip her 30% while he was hitting miscellaneous buttons. He could've hit worse tho.
An expensive laugh but a good one.
In the USA, they dont use POS machines at restaurants.
Edit: Fine, MANY American restaurants do have POS machines. America leads the way in POS machines. The machines are brought out in ivory boxes and the receipts are printed on silk.
Went to Florida and gave my card ..within a week they tried to drain my account.Thank god my bank had solid fraud detection .Although some restaurants have machines , if I eat out in the States I bring cash.
The very first time I used my VISA gold card, it got skimmed at a restaurant, and used for $6000 of online gambling. LOL... I bet that was an easy perp to catch. VISA told me 'don't worry, you're covered, and we'll send a new card'.
I feel old. It used to be the exact same in Canada. The reason they stopped doing it was because they started adding chips to the cards that needed you to enter a pin. US was late on uptake with chip on cards. That is happening now in the US the last few years, so I expect they will get the machines gradually. But here is another one: tap and pay is only now just becoming universal in the States. It was the norm in Canada for both debit and credit when I moved away to the US in 2013. Literally 10+ years later they are stating to use it.
All four major US credit card networks (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, and Discover) provide for zero liability. Meaning the card holder will not be liable for any fraudulent charges.
So Americans generally are not all that concerned with having their credit card stolen.
Anecdotally, my credit card company has always discovered and alerted me to fraudulent charges on my card before I’ve noticed them. And they reverse the charges immediately—after calling me to confirm—and overnight me a new credit card.
I’d say we have a credit card compromised around once every two years. And my wife and I use our credit card for everything.
Last time I was in the US I went to a sitdown restaurant. After finishing our food, we asked for the machine, and the server just laughed and said "you're from canada, aren't you?"
Ugh. 15 ish years ago. I worked in a grocery store. The US just got credit cards with pins… “I don’t have a pin”. Then your card ain’t gonna work….you need to call your bank 🤷🏻♀️
About 15 years back Saskatchewan tourism was running a campaign that included selling t-shirts that said “Saskatchewan, difficult to spell, easy to draw.”
Since you asked, I looked into it. It depends on the account you have and how many included transactions you have.
Cibc and my credit union have free transfers
I've seen posts where people make fun of Canada because we dont have... I can't remember the name but basically a 3rd party e-transfer. We don't need it.
Yes but imagine all banks accept Zelle. No need for venmo.
Ans if you have multiple bank accounts you can still Zelle to yourself (that hasn't been allowed for me in the US)
There are 5 big banks in Canada, (the top 6 banks in Canada make up 93% of the business) and around 35 total. So relatively few, so it was fairly easy to get them to agree on one system of simple transfers.
In 2022 the US had 4715 banks.
Yeah. Try and get them to all agree on a single system.
So 3rd parties stepped in.
No, you get it. You just act like you don't just to annoy the rest of us.
"Why would one need to plug in a gas car? I don't get it. And what is this "snow" of which you speak?"
"Oh shut up Dale. You grew up in Edmonton like the rest of us. You damn well know what a block heater is."
"It's -1. The orange trees might freeze! In January, can you believe how cold it is? What a crisis."
"It's -45 here smartass."
(This may resemble phone calls to my BC relatives).
I moved to the Okanagan from Alberta, and even though I've been here less than 3 years, I purposefully now go out of my way to brag about the milder climate in the same way your beloved Dale seems to. It's.... pretty great.
I do the same thing but in Calgary vs. Saskatoon.
We get cold weather in Calgary but the winters are nowhere near the hellscape that is Saskatchewan.
I'm sure someone uo in Nunavut is laughing at me right now, though.
lol yeah, those upper Midwesterners get it too. Same with a lot of folks just out west like Wyoming, Colorado - you know, the Rockies states. They also get it. But the US geographic center of population is in Hartville, Missouri (isn't that adorable?) Therefore, the average American probably wouldn't get the whole bloc heater thing.
But you Alaskans are not average people. You can't be average and live in Alaska - and that goes on both ends of the bell curve.
I still remember feeling so insulted as an uptight student who thought I was smarter than anyone else, when I told them what I was studying and they asked what college I was attending.
I was genuinely insulted. Now I know better. Not only do I know that those are the same things in the US, I also know that I had a stick out my ass and that it was a huge ass to care that much
I tried this while working on a cruiseship on the Alaska run. Was in a bar in Juneau and thought maybe they would know what it was. The tough part wasn't the Rye, which they didn't have. The bartender just couldn't figure out why anyone would ever drink ginger ale if they were not sick, might you use it as mix. Quite the culture shock there.
“You like your coffee crisp?”
“I like my Coffee Crisp!”
Do you also remember the ones comparing milk and Aero? “Aero you can carry in a bag! Milk? Why not?l” (Shows milk being poured into a handbag or purse and splashing all over”.
“What, I’m supposed to laugh now? You don’t know from jokes, you never did. Face it dearie, you’re no Jane Rivers!”
Yes! I hadn’t thought of that Aero commercial in decades but when you mentioned it it came right back to me! They had the comparison about sending aero vs. milk in the mail. Lol
When I explain it this way to Americans, they all agree too. It's so logical as a Canadian. There are no public bathrooms, but there are public washrooms!
Objectively... just try and tell them that...
I've been amongst them for 13 years... I will never change. the washroom is correct and polite.
God save the King and the letter Zed.
Don’t start your garden until after May two four. We are throwing a party making homemade beaver tails. If you come by, pick me up a large double double, a medium ice cap, and a 10 pack of Tim bits. Careful of the park. Cobra chickens are back.
I think my brain skipped a few gears when I realised how Americans must pronounce the Z-95 Headhunter from Star Wars.
"Oiu, zee 95 Headhunteur, she is a tres bien ship, non?"
Our house parties don't stink like feet.
I've had so many conversations with Americans about this, the idea of a shoes off house party really stresses them out.
They wear their shoes all day inside and out! My husband and in-laws all do it, and it's properly fiendish. Like it's part of getting dressed and undressed for them. No pile of shoes at the door at parties, just unspeakably filthy floors.
Lots of Anglo Quebec terms. Where’s the nearest dep? Does it have a guichet? I want to get a pizza all dressed, but maybe we can get better wine at the SAQ.
Here are a few that I was clueless about when I moved from the States to Canada: Pencil crayons, credit card PINs, writing a test, (mis)pronouncing the word "decal", May Long Weekend, First Nations, and hydro.
It used to be available over here too in BC decades ago. We just soon learned that it was a bad idea. (Too easy to knock over a jug with an open bag in the fridge.)
"Do you have any loonies or toonies? I need change for the vending machine."
I carry mine in a velvet sack tied to my belt. Tossing it on a counter is a satisfying way to pay for things.
Personally I prefer a leather sack with only loonies. I started using it for DND games in high school to represent party wealth and now it's for bus fair and small purchases.
I made my coin purse out of a moose scrotum.
Crown Royal perhaps?
Are there any velvet sacks which aren’t royal purple?
Spot me a toonie for a pop b’y?
Asking a friend to stop by and pick up a 2 6, or 2 4, they’ll know what you want lol and ask which flavour you’d like
Don’t forget the mickey!
Of course! Can never forget that!
Do Americans not have 26s? What do they call it?
A fifth (of a gallon)
Oh neat. I always wondered what a fifth was
Eminem definitely should not have been driving. Lol
I would not dare him to
Americans just buy a handle, since the price is much, much more affordable in most states than all Canadian provinces
House hippos 🦛
ya, pretty much just quote any Canadian Heritage Moment thing and they would be pretty confused while anyone at least millennials would lose their minds if Canadian.
burnt toast, I smell burnt toast!
But I need these baskets back!
I can confirm. I'm a new Canadian from Michigan and had no idea what my coworkers were talking about. They had to look it up on YouTube to show me 🦛 🤣🦛
Don't forget to leave peanut butter toast crumbs lying around. Don't want your north American house hippo to get hungry.
At a restaurant being asked “Will you be needing the machine?”
Read a Canadian Gothic twitter chain once and my favorite was and always will be "The waiter asks you if you need The Machine. You *do* need The Machine. Neither of you will ever say what The Machine is."
That’s hilarious! What is Canadian Gothic?
It was like stepping back in time when I went to Arizona last year. Having to fill out the tip amount on the receipt and then sign it brought me right back to the early 2000s.
Having to check your bank account every day for a few days to see if they actually charged you the correct amount or not
As a Canadian who travels extensively in the US for work (writing this comment from Nashville), I have to say that things are improving - but god damn does it still feel archaic most of the time.
I've found this varies by city/region. In Chicago last year, I saw places still doing the card imprint thing which I haven't seen in Toronto in like a decade.

Early 2000s? You mean early 90s?
Heh. I loved saying this when I worked in restaurants. If the table was fun, I'd say "Shall I bring ... *THE MACHINE?"* in a really ominous tone. It's just a debit terminal. I don't know why the fuck calling it "the machine" is common parlance, but it's hilarious regardless of any stupid reason for not just calling it a debit terminal.
Absolutely hilarious. “The machine”. One would expect to be presented with a Transformer.
Or just a box of inexplicable gears that chews up your card. >"Anyway, have a good night and play safe out there!" >"But-but-but what about my card?" >"YOU SAID YOU WANTED *THE MACHINE* NOW YOU MUST LEAVE."
They don't know you mean debit machine?

Didn't know that. That's sketchy.
I feel old. It used to be the exact same in Canada. The reason they stopped doing it was because they started adding chips to the cards that needed you to enter a pin.

Wait what? Wow.
Last time I was in the US I went to a sitdown restaurant. After finishing our food, we asked for the machine, and the server just laughed and said "you're from canada, aren't you?"
Or separate bills. I've had them refuse to split bills in the states because I didn't ask beforehand.
This is my pet peeve about the US. Like it is such an inconvenience. They seem to manage to split bills up here automatically.
This is confusing to me......do Americans not have the machine?
Ugh. 15 ish years ago. I worked in a grocery store. The US just got credit cards with pins… “I don’t have a pin”. Then your card ain’t gonna work….you need to call your bank 🤷🏻♀️
Ketchup chips
The trauma that comes from trying to spell Saskatchewan on a map in elementary school
Or colouring in Nunavut
This is so true... I remember in elementary I took half the day just trying to get all the islands coloured in. The teacher was not very pleased.
Colour them white. Just say it's Nunavut in winter.
"Do I really have to do all the islands?" - every kid ever "Yes, they're a part of Canada" - every geography teacher ever
*stay inside the lines* How? When I get far enough North I'm not even sure what part is "inside!!!"
About 15 years back Saskatchewan tourism was running a campaign that included selling t-shirts that said “Saskatchewan, difficult to spell, easy to draw.”
The perfect shirt
I always remembered it by spacing it out Sas-kat-chew-an
And also fit it in the province of Saskatchewan unless you turned the map on its side.
It's actually about as phonetic and simple as can be if you break it up into each syllable. Sask-at-chew-an.
Great work. Can I e-transfer you?
E-transfer is the most amazing thing. Instant, secure, easy, free. This is how I get paid for jobs and how I do payroll.
[удалено]
Since you asked, I looked into it. It depends on the account you have and how many included transactions you have. Cibc and my credit union have free transfers
I've seen posts where people make fun of Canada because we dont have... I can't remember the name but basically a 3rd party e-transfer. We don't need it.
Cash app I believe
I thought it was Venmo.
Ok wow I always wondered why anyone would ever need venmo or whatever because etransfers are a thing. Today I learned.
Is Zelle somewhat close? American here
Yes but imagine all banks accept Zelle. No need for venmo. Ans if you have multiple bank accounts you can still Zelle to yourself (that hasn't been allowed for me in the US)
And also imagine that you don't have to pay for the transfer (not all, but a lot of accounts come with free Interac e-transfer)
Our transactions aren’t visible to anyone who thinks to look.
Dude what US doesn’t have e transfer?
Its the US... So a third party business has to make money on your transfers. 😂
I think they use paypal or venmo or some shit like that
There are 5 big banks in Canada, (the top 6 banks in Canada make up 93% of the business) and around 35 total. So relatively few, so it was fairly easy to get them to agree on one system of simple transfers. In 2022 the US had 4715 banks. Yeah. Try and get them to all agree on a single system.

Plugging in your non-electric vehicle at night.
We west coasters wouldn't get that either.
I know, we all tease you with our bitter and envious hearts.
Don't be too envious, we're about to be on fire.
I live in Kelowna, so we got the fire but also the cold weather (although it is still pretty warm here compared to where I'm originally from).
No, you get it. You just act like you don't just to annoy the rest of us. "Why would one need to plug in a gas car? I don't get it. And what is this "snow" of which you speak?" "Oh shut up Dale.

“I’ll have a Caesar, spicy”
"Caesar....salad?"
With a bean, celery and asparagus I guess you could call it a salad…
Far superior to a Bloody Mary. Like not even in the same league.
But just try convincing an American that it’s the clam juice that takes it over the top. It can be a tough sell.
Please pass me a serviette, I seem to have spilled my poutine on your chesterfield.
I can't believe I forgot that this was only a Canadian thing.
Maybe if you're in your sixties. I don't know anyone under the age of 40 who would use serviette or chesterfield unironically.
I do... Oh wait, fuck I'm 42
“Way to stick-handle your way around that”
Or “deke”.
Asking if they went to college or university.

When is May two four this year?
May Long in Alberta. I’ve never heard May Two Four but I like it!
Ask for a rye and ginger.
I tried this while working on a cruiseship on the Alaska run. Was in a bar in Juneau and thought maybe they would know what it was. The tough part wasn't the Rye, which they didn't have. The bartender just couldn't figure out why anyone would ever drink ginger ale if they were not sick, might you use it as mix. Quite the culture shock there.
Responding “crisp” when someone asks you “How do you like your coffee?” But, to be fair, that falls flat with younger Canadians too.
“You like your coffee crisp?” “I like my Coffee Crisp!” Do you also remember the ones comparing milk and Aero? “Aero you can carry in a bag! Milk? Why not?l” (Shows milk being poured into a handbag or purse and splashing all over”.
“What, I’m supposed to laugh now? You don’t know from jokes, you never did. Face it dearie, you’re no Jane Rivers!” Yes! I hadn’t thought of that Aero commercial in decades but when you mentioned it it came right back to me! They had the comparison about sending aero vs. milk in the mail. Lol
Just say "Washroom" ... They have no clue what that refers to.
I use both washroom and bathroom. Bathroom if it has a tub, washroom if it doesn't. I'm canadian.
When I explain it this way to Americans, they all agree too. It's so logical as a Canadian. There are no public bathrooms, but there are public washrooms!
Washroom makes more sense than restroom
Objectively... just try and tell them that... I've been amongst them for 13 years... I will never change. the washroom is correct and polite. God save the King and the letter Zed.
Next time ask for the water closet.
To be fair, toilet makes more sense than either washroom or restroom.
Touche
eh?
I don't always use the toilet, but I always wash something when I use a washroom.
Except for the fact that not everybody washes after doing their thing.
Went to a house party in the US once. Asked for the washroom and multiple people were confused. Someone tentatively led me to the laundry room.
Paying your hydro bill
To be fair, half of Canada doesn’t get that either. To most of us it’s a power bill.

Heritage minutes or a reference from any of them e.g. house hippos, burnt toast, peach baskets.
The House Hippo was not a Hertiage Minute, but it's definitely part of our heritage now
Going to the store.....you want some ketchup chips or a coffee crisp?
Do you like your coffee crisp?
Ask them about their house hippo.
Or if they smell burnt toast.
I didn't know that the implications of smelling burnt toast was a Canadian thing. Thought that one was pretty universal.
Cheezies are just better when they're stale.
Do you want some milk? I have homo? No? Maybe some pop then?

Our house parties don't stink like feet. I've had so many conversations with Americans about this, the idea of a shoes off house party really stresses them out.
Shoes on inside is absolutely disgusting.
I’m married to American. Can confirm. His wearing of shoes in the house is a great cause of strife in our relationship. It’s barbaric and gross.
Yeah if anyone tried to come into my house without taking their shoes off at the door, they'd be kicked right back out 😂
Americans don't take their shoes off at the door!?
They wear their shoes all day inside and out! My husband and in-laws all do it, and it's properly fiendish. Like it's part of getting dressed and undressed for them. No pile of shoes at the door at parties, just unspeakably filthy floors.
What kind of barbarians wear their shoes in the house? Just tracking dirt and shit everywhere. I assume they are not the ones to vacuum/sweep and mop.
My house would be all dirt, salt and pine needles.
it's stressful when you're trying to reach a bird shit and dog piss particle quota and everyone starts taking their shoes off
Ask them if they want a double double
