Canadians Are Trolling 'The Bachelor' So Hard After This Week's Episode In Toronto

"Contrary to popular belief, Canadians do NOT shoot maple syrup."

Lead Writer, Travel

If you tuned into the latest episode of The Bachelor on Monday night, you might have noticed some familiar places.

For the first time ever, the show was filmed in Toronto, and the stars lived the Canadian dream by eating BeaverTails and playing street hockey. However, there were some questionable moments that occurred during the cast's stay in the 6ix, and locals have taken to Twitter to set a few things straight.

While it may take a lot to offend a Canadian, things like pronouncing the second "T" in Toronto are sure to get the blood boiling, and here are a few of the faux pas that the cast committed.


Driving to Niagara for the two-on-one date

The two-on-one date took place in picturesque Niagara Falls, a popular tourist destination in Ontario. But locals know that what seemed like a quick limo ride on the show was actually a nearly two-hour trek. And with tensions running high between Genevieve and Shanae, Twitter users were quick to point out just how awkward that drive would have been.



Pronouncing the second "T" in Toronto

The Bachelor cast was clearly unaware that the second "T" in Toronto is customarily silent, and Canadians couldn't help but cringe every time they heard it pronounced. It was almost like hearing the word for the first time.




Taking maple syrup shots

Yes, Canada is the land of maple syrup, but that doesn't mean we drink it. Twitter users couldn't handle it when the cast began taking shots of this sweet delicacy, and they had to set the record straight.



Pointing out the fall "foilage"

Toronto is beautiful in the fall, and the cast voiced their admiration for the "crisp air" and.. "foilage"?

One of the contestants mispronounced foliage when talking about the autumn colours, and of course, Twitter will not let her live it down.




Going on an "international" trip to Toronto

The word "international" might bring to mind places like Paris or Rome, but the internet was totally thrown when "international" ended up being a flight from Houston to Toronto.




Not dressing for the weather

There seemed to be some confusion over the dress code for the Toronto dates. The episode was filmed during the fall, which usually means cool temperatures, but while some girls were wearing cozy sweaters and jackets, others looked like they were on a summer vacay. Clayton, meanwhile, was dressed for full-blown winter.




Calling Toronto a good place to fall in love

Clayton names Toronto as a "great place to fall in love," but locals aren't having it. According to Twitter users, the 6ix may not be the romantic place Clayton thinks it is.
