Her perception of the country left comedian and podcast host Bill Maher a little baffled
Haliey Welch, also known as the Hawk Tuah girl, said she thinks that Canada has no toilets, only outhouses.
Welch, who is from a small town in Tennessee, became an overnight sensation after doing a (slightly unconventional) interview with content creators Tim and Dee TV.
More recently, she did an interview with American comedian and television personality Bill Maher, released on July 28.
He asked Welch what kind of house she had in Tennessee, wondering, jokingly, if it was the kind that “had a bathroom out back.”
“They don’t have an outhouse where you throw mulch on your s—. I think that’s a thing they do up in Canada,” she said, around the podcast’s 55 minute and 25 second mark. “Don’t they have outhouses in Canada?”
“In Canada?” Maher asked, seeming not to understand what Welch meant by the comment.
“They don’t flush. You just throw s— on it,” she said.
“I certainly wouldn’t single out Canada,” Maher replied.
Welch said that’s what she was told about the country.
“They don’t have bathrooms there. They just have outhouses,” she said.
Again, Maher interjected, saying that Canada was a “very sophisticated country.”
Welch then agreed: “I’m sure it is.”
