I agree with most of your video. I grew up in Quebec and its the best province in Canada. I think British Colombia deserve a better spot like number two. I lived two months there and Vancouver Island is an incredible place for vacation.

I am genuinely surprised that Quebec ranked so high, because I'm from there and I've always had plenty of empirical evidence telling me otherwise. The income is meh, the education system is meh, health care is super meh, taxes are mega-meh to the point that they cause brain-drain, and the nightlife is incredibly meh (unless you're in downtown Montreal). I'm glad the province looks good on paper, but it really doesn't reflect my 40-plus years living here (or near).

I was born in Manitoba and lived here for 28 years. While the negative aspects pointed out in the video are true, hardly any of the positives of living here were touched on. Yes, we do have a month or two where you can hardly spend time outside but during the winter there are beautiful sunny days often and plenty of +25-+30 days all summer long. Manitoba has an incredible amount of festivals during the summer all across Winnipeg and small towns. We have a thriving underground EDM scene where young people explore various forms of art, dance, costrumes, and musical genres every weekend nowadays. There are many interesting cultures present here including Mennonite and Hutterite communities which are some of the most generous small town folk. We have tons of local farms which people can buy affordable organic food from. Manitobans on average are friendly people and strangers will often strike up a conversation or help get your car unstuck on a wintery day. I have travelled around Canada but I do feel like Manitoba carries a unique sense of community that other places might not have.

It's hard to know where to start with this incredibly shallow, low information drivel ... clearly, the narrator has no personal experience with the places he speaks about - it's just a bunch of generalizations and trivia that in no way do justice to Canada's provinces ot to the country as a whole

As someone who spend some time in Vancouver, really considered to get more years visa I will compare with my home country Czech Republic and European-Union at all. I only find benefits in Canada:\n - big Czech comunities in Vancouver and Rockies and Toronto, its very heartwarming spending time with these people, getting contacts etc.\n- incredible nature\n- stay far from Russia (these days)\n\nBut It is not so big deal in case of money (pay/living ration), payed holiday (we have 5 weeks as standard), healthcare (I know people who FLY FROM CANADA TO EU for dentist) and distances. LIke evening trip after work is almost impossible. Going abroad is soooo far compare to Europe etc. I love Canada, at least for roadtrips, but I am not sure if starting from scratch, getting canadian experience really trade off

I've lived 2 years in Toronto. Plusses, it's all there, sports, theatre, music, amazing restaurants. Negatives I found the people difficult to get to know, I usually felt I wasn't breathing fast enough, and no mountains. I've lived 10 years in Calgary. Plusses, people are incredibly open and friendly, mountains, energetic without being frenetic, affordable. Minuses, very cyclic economy, everything always under construction with little sense of history or culture. I was born and raised in Victoria and returned here 34 years ago. Plusses, ocean and mountains, sense of history, laid back and friendly, amazing climate. Minuses, completely unaffordable (if I hadn't bought my house over 30 years ago I couldn't afford it today). Enjoyed them all but wouldn't voluntarily leave Victoria.

Wow - she just wiped Quebec right off the map of Canada with a single statement. Incredible, but I guess there's no point teaching history and geography to someone who clearly knows everything and who cares if a *fifth* of your country chooses to speak another language 90% of the time ;)\n\nWe have our share of Karens here in Oz but I had hoped that Canada was a more educated, civilised society. I get that these people don't represent the majority, but its the loud voices that focus people's attention, sadly. As for the feeble attempts of her 'man' to defuse the situation, don't give up your day job amigo.

I have to disagree with all the comments. We lived in Texas for about 3 years. It was horrible. Jobs were scarce and its dangerous. Every night we had to watch our backs. Crime is incredibly high. We didn't feel safe. And the health care. Oh boy it's bad. If you don't have good coverage your not getting health treatment. We never had the funds to see a doctor because it was just too damn expensive. We moved to Toronto. Couldn't be happier. We don't have to worry about the crime so we feel safe. Sure the health care is slow that's true but at least it's free we don't have to pay a dime to see a doctor. And plus. WEED IS LEGAL. I can smoke all the weed I want here without facing any questioning by the authorities. So I think it's not fair for you guys to talk bad about this great country.

Canada is beautiful..... but British Columbia is IT for the incredible scenery, Quebec for it's European lifestyle....

I absolutely loved how detailed and well organized this video is\nI had so many doubts but this video cleared every single one of them. You are doing absolutely incredible job✨

The Canadian government makes it incredibly difficult for employers to hire legal immigrants in skilled positions. I know several examples of employees and companies spending enormous amounts of effort, time and money to traverse the bureaucratic obstacle course.

Genuinely couldn't recommend their Patreon more highly. Especially to those who aren't able to go to live shows! They posted a wonderful video blog of their Vicar St gig on there yesterday and it really feels like you're there with them. It was lovely and funny and it makes the wait to see them one day a whole lot easier. Plus there's SO much extra on there, it's incredible!\nThanks lads for being so generous, you give us so much more than you have to. I've been subscribed to other Patreons before...Nobody even comes close to the amount you give and I mean that! Tank ooo!

I am so incredibly happy for you that you can currently announce tour dates at the end of a video again! Fingers crossed it stays that way!!

It was so great to finally meet you guys and see the live show for the first time on Saturday. It was so incredible, thank you guys so much for the awesome pictures as well. I'll cherish them forever!\nBig love from Cork!! ??

I’m sorry, I live in Quebec and I think that all Canada is so diverse that stats aren’t what represents the best province. I’ve travelled around Canada and every parts of it are incredible! There only one top one and it’s Canada values! I’m sorry for imposing my point of view on that.

English guy from Quebec here, he forgot to mention quebec has incredibly high taxes, a sales tax of 15%!

Toronto is such an amazing city. So walkable, great public transport. Lots to see and do in small areas. And the food scene is incredible, you can get totally authentic anything

II Canadian Corps were incredibly brave and mighty powerful. They help liberate the northern provinces of the Netherlands.

Thanks for the video! \n \nI have had enough of Canada as well. \nAs a 30 year old single male, I have realized that it's incredibly hard to meet women in Canada. \nAfter living here for more than 5 years, that's it. The pandemic was the nail in the coffin. \n \nNever felt so isolated in my life with all the crazy rules/guidelines/restrictions/lockdowns of Canada. \n \nI am moving to Europe or Singapore or Dubai.

Good. Jughead and his cronies are incredibly corrupt.

This upset me to the point of tears. It’s so incredibly disgusting how much racism truly still exists around the world

This is whole story is kind of amazing and incredible. Usually people want to stay in the country they immigrated. And other countries (like the US) are always trying to forcibly push out / get rid of people that are already there. Here, you have strangely the opposite problem.

responded the next day? that's incredible

I am from the US and am ashamed at my country’s racism. My family has always taught me as a very very young child that my country was new and made up of people of every country...a melting pot. As my parents taught me I also taught my daughter. It wasn’t until she reached high school that racism was really addressed at my home. In her sophomore year she came home extremely distressed over a discussion at her lunch table. Mind you she had been with the same group of girls since kindergarten. The subject came up about a new girl in school, from another country... Africa. She was so distressed about the conversation before the end of day she spoke to a teacher about it...her math and track coach. I was incredibly proud of her! To this day I can’t thank my parents enough for instilling in me what I needed to live free. To this day my daughter 17 years later has the pleasure of that young girl from Africa as a part of her extended family. We know what we are taught and ignorance has no place in or society today. I also grew up in Chester, PA where Dr Martin Luther King Went to school or a time, my parents were so proud of that.

Anderson it was obvious on the video that you were honest ly in your reporting..my goodness I hope that people who think like that are in a minority a trump minority. Lol I that thought never entered my mind.. your an incredible reporter and I think you helped the mere positive changes to reporting the news.. I like your style

It’s incredible to watch people stroll right in. Hopefully blackface gets it hard

This is incredible too! From what I've been researching about life in Canada, my favorite Provinces are Alberta and Nova Scotia... And of course, Claresholm AB is on the RNIP Program, and Nova Scotia is on the AIPP... As soon as I complete building my USA Federal Case against our former owner, my son and I can totally pave our Road North with handmade jewelry and graphic apparel! Thank you for continuing to give me hope for our Futures! This will totally pay off for you when my son is playing for the Calgary Flames in 15 years!

What this video does is incredibly misinforming. It equates racial bias with racism/racial discrimination. These are completely different things. The IAT test is not even reliable. In addition, there is no support that bias translates into discriminatory behavior. I know it sounds appealing, as a hypothesis, but there is simply no support for it.

Most Chinese and East Indians are using fraud. Mostly to get people over here and especially the young that go on to American universities taking slots from citizens. They then get green cards and take jobs away from citizens. The other thing with Canadians and Americans is that for the last 40 years they have conditioned, especially whites, not to say anything about someone that is foreign or not white otherwise you're labeled as 'racist'. Canadians are incredibly naive and historically lenient

Chinese nationals are hard workers and brilliant in doing things. When you visit China, transformation of the country appear to be incredible. It has to be said that when they begin to do wrong things they are equally good at it. This immigration racket is a very good example.

In spite of his hardship, in his own country, he was able to save up $15,000 US dollars? Incredible! With that amount of money you can buy a life of a king, down there, why the hell spend it all to come to Canada only to live from paycheck to paycheck? I'd much rather stay where the cost of living is cheap and....and you can save up $15,000 US dollars! In fact, I think I will move down there. He's proven that you can raise a family there and save up incredible amounts of money.

Proud Canadian but incredibly embarrassed that the village idiot is running the show

Justin Trudeau -Fidel Castro's love child -incredible resemblance.There is no doubt that Fidel is his daddy.

While watching this- I see a guy who cares. I see a guy who wants to start his life. It just looks a lot to me like somebody who instead of working for 50 years and retiring- wants retirement and money- NOW. I know El Salvador is incredibly dangerous and money opportunities slim... but you just can’t save them all. The great cloud lingering over the heads of everyone born into a free land. There are billions of stories like Josè, however there are not billions of spots in the free world for these people. Some are luckier than others. Some work harder than others. Some try to accomplish with a fervor not matched by 90% of the world. It’s not fair- it’s not equal. It’s life, it’s suffering, it’s hardship. I hope the best for Josè and his family

It's incredible you go to the Middle East whether you're American or not and you have to adopt the culture the women have to Where the material that they want you to wear for covering but yet they go to other country and they do not adapt and complainIn the funny thing is the reason why they're leaving the country that they left as because of war segregation women have no rights and then they bring all that krapp to the country they go to incredible

The comment section is incredibly sad.

This is honestly incredible. Why does this have to happen? What happened to good old trust?

It must be incredibly freeing to hide your identity from people, I wish I could get away with it.

Love or hating religion is your choice. But it's incredibly ignorant to classify buddhism, hinduism, judaism, etc. with Islam as far as violence goes.
