gotta agree with the assessment. Due to the cost of living I been scoping out either alberta (calgary) or quebec (Quebec city), and even with quebec's outrageous tax rate, it's just better than calgary in quality of life.

Soo this is a video for why rich privileged people that already have wealth complaining lol love rich people that don’t stuggle for shet talking about taxes haha ? then these rich people complain they gotta use the same health care haha these women haven’t lived hard lives it’s ok they will learn one day

As an American with a Canadian dad... I gotta say the Tap Water thing hits hard! If I try to drink just tap water it tastes like I got it from a hose in my backyard. I've gotta use a Britta filter ALWAYS lol

Gotta make sure that the good immigrants don't leave!

Gotta' say, tap water is definitely one of those things that'll differ. Pretty sure that, where I grew up in WA, our tap water was bomb. Certainly I've lived in some other places in the states where that was not the case. It really depends.

I live in Japan for 4 years and when I came back to the states, I'm on edge. Felt so safe living in Japan. Walking through alleys late at night there was like walking anywhere else. Back in the states now, and now I gotta watch my back at all times

I’ve lived all over, and I gotta say financially and general enjoyment, bc was the best for me

Why you gotta hate on Ohio like that, man?? Columbus is awesome. More exciting than Cleveland anyway. Like a 7 compared to a 6

ngl i thought number was gonna be bc or ont or alberta because quebec is just to boring there like you gotta speak french sometime and all it is the scenery and historic place and good bridges but i thought the crime rate would be higher since quebec i think has the worst university shooting but it was long ago but what about the mosque shooting but ontario rn has alot oh shooting last year

On the point of the nonmixing demographics, I've completely noticed and think it's really odd about the US. I grew up in Houston, and so far it's the place in the US I've witnessed actual mixing of demographics. Everywhere else feels and looks extremely segregated which is really sad. When I went to NYC was when I truly noticed the living together but segregated and cannot stop seeing it anywhere I go other than Houston. Hell even the restaurants had 1 demographic working inside really hammering it down. \nI also gotta with Aba, i hate the nonmixing most areas do. People do not talk to each other or travel within the US which creates a ton of misunderstanding of ourselves and surroundings constantly creating unresolved tension which politics breed off of

Nah, this thing with flying everywhere's gotta stop. shit's fucking up the planet... high speed rail is where its at. more of that please.

Honestly, the worst thing about the US, whether you're travelling or in a major city, is everything is so poorly designed and spread out. If you need to drive in a vehicle for over two hours just to get to one part of a city to another, not even including traffic being bad but just because of the streets and highways you gotta take, you're living in a ****ty city.

Your comments about Columbus, Ohio are 100% accurate. I've lived here almost 50 years and there ain't 1 damn thing I'd tell a traveler they gotta see here.

I wanna visit Canada so bad. I got family there. I gotta start working on my visa

Yall gotta realize\nIf you want the whole diverse experience where diverse peoples intermingle and live amongst each other naturally...you gotta goto the west coast. From Seattle, Honolulu, LA,San Francisco, etc etc to\nsee and experience that level of diversity

Dang, I gotta go around and do some water taste testing.

Canada big ups. Definitely, when I have been to the states, the racial segregation was one of the biggest surprises. Being from Toronto, you'll legit have every culture within 1 floor of 1 apartment building. Then go to like Jersey, and not see a single black person in an entire neighborhood. I REALLY like the diversity of Canada, at least in the big cities. Happy to be raising our daughter here, we actually went out of our way to ensure the daycare we put her in was pretty diverse. \nNow, in our small towns, shit gets a little.... I don't wanna say RACIST per se, but definitely a lack of cultural diversity. Annnnd maybe a bit racist lol. \n\nBesides that, our Universal healthcare is definitely one of the reasons I am proud to be Canadian. It's not perfect, but Canadians don't even understand the idea of medical bankruptcy. Like, how could anyone be against the idea of having a system that gets rid of that? Because taxes go up? Like, we all get old and sick at some point. You DO get that money back with the healthcare you receive eventually, and in the long run, pay less per capita than places with private healthcare. It's like being against your pension. Makes no damn sense to me. \n\nLastly, I gotta throw a little shade on the overly patriotic nature of Americans. Like, the US makes great entertainment. They are a world leader in making entertaining shit. But besides that... y'all ain't so great. Your good, y'know, top tier in terms of countries. But not better in most ways than other first world countries. Worse in a few. Canada isn't perfect, but you don't see Canadians constantly claiming to be better than everyone else. It's such a weird flex, like, everyone who isn't from there knows it's not true. It's like showing up to a car meet in a Honda Civic, claiming to be faster than everyone else, laughing and driving off. It's just weird

Yeah I’m good. Canadas prime minister just kidnapped people’s bank accounts for speaking out against injustices. I’ll keep my merica. It’s not perfect but at least I don’t gotta worry about a heavy handed dictator

Imma say this re the girls thing. Coming from DFW I was shocked when I went to Edmonton for work how much talent there is. Gotta give credit for that.

I gotta disagree with the food part... if you don't want cheese with your meal... guess what, don't order cheese.. for the most part, you get what you order. and if the meals are too big, just don't eat all of it.

As a german, i can guarantee you, that population density, doesn´t really have that much to do with it.\n\nGermany is half the size of texas and has a fourth of the population of the ENTIRE U.S.\nThere IS more crime in the more populated areas, but it´s not even on the same scale.\n\nProbably most to do with social security, because if you have nothing, and don´t know how to get or don´t have the skills to get something, you gotta steal it. Simple as that.\nI´m not even mad at a lot of US criminals. Gotta live somehow and if noone cares about you, don´t care about noone either.\n\nFuck the gangs tho, that´s different.\n\nAlso:\nCanada and Germany Tap-water PRO´s\nHell yeah?

Aba you gotta chill on Columbus 5:28 we live a nice life here ??

Another L murica gotta hold in front of the world is: pizza, chocolate (sweets in general hate me or love me idgaf) and education and healthcare. Very much basic but GAHD DAMN SHITS EXPENSIVE

My husband always tells me to leave the back door unlocked when we go out in case we can’t get in and I’m always freaking out thinking that’s so wrong… you gotta lock every door! And he just laughs and says it’s safe ?? I live in London, Ontario.

I guess to move to a place like Japan you gotta be Rich or just be ready to work like hell.

Columbus Ohio ?. yeah I def gotta move LMAOO

Like you said in the beginning of the video, the US really is like 50 different countries. Your experiences are so vastly different depending on where you are. Obviously there’s rude people everywhere, but I live in the Northeast, and people are especially douchy in this part of the country. Like, you gotta be on high alert because things can go from 0 to 100 real quick. One minute you’re at a stop light, the next you got someone following you into a parking lot threatening you because they had a rough day at work. However, when I’ve been to the South, I’ve met some of the most relaxed and kind people you’d ever meet.

HE SAID HE GOTTA BRING THE RING TO MORTAR ON THE WAY TO BROOKLYN LMAO9OOOOOOOOOO THAT SHIT KILELEEDD MEEEEE @ABA N PREACH

I live in New York and I've gotta agree with Preach on the women, generally, especially in the city.

You gotta have that Brooklyn water! Rated some of the best!

I gotta say it's funny how aba visited the places with the highest crime rates florida,LA,New york,, these are also the most expensive places living in Louisiana shit ain't that expensive

bet you shmucks gotta do your cam girl taxes tho

The healthcare system in America is really bad. Gotta pay thousands of dollars for having a baby

Canadian government also gives all our jobs away to refugees. When we have bosses that are real fuzzy over who they hire. And they dont believe in canadians doing their own jobs. Geez and that causes a lot of arguements with new comers cuz they dont understand we could of did that job. Plus they believe if they invite you to canada that you could vote for trudeau. Which no one likes. It's time for change and he gotta go. One bedrooms are close to 1200 to 1500. 2 bedrooms are at least a couple hundred more. Subsidy housing is all anyone can afford. Groceries are so expansion.

More immigrants come to Canada because they are refugees and trying to scape Middle East ! And Canada accepts them because we’ll someone is gotta wash the dishes and buss

The biggest joke in the video was saying we have an excellent education system. Thats hilarious.\n\nAs someone from the GTA I gotta say, though most of ontario is pretty awesome the GTA itself is easily the biggest shitthole in the country and definitely should be dragging us down to territory level at the very least.

Yeah but you gotta speak French immediately disqualified

ok as a torontonian who currently lives in alberta, i do gotta say that this is true. alberta does have one of the best education systems, but although it's like that due to the oil, the people where i'm living near, (don't know about edmontonians) are complete freaking lunatics'.

Gotta say, being from BC, Quebec is not the best. The people there are rude and disrespectful, and their service of work and help is horrible.(I have visited there many a time)

Canadian education is not the primary target of the majority of international students. Most students use it as an opportunity to immigrate to Canada. So.... you gotta pay to play!

Disgusting populists can get bent. We need to support CANADIANS not the vulnerable of the rest of the world. We have our own vulnerable. We need to take care of them first. What you are doing is sick. You are replacing a generation of babies that weren't born due to financial genocide with foreigners that are not wanted here. Our economy doesn't need more cheap labour, it needs more well paid labour. We need the price of housing to come down and that means lower population density. If businesses can't find enough employees then boohoo, PAY MORE. Replace the minimum wage with a living wage if you want to grow our economy and population, rather than the pocketbooks of the rich while they scab off the new cheap labour and continue paying meager wages that are getting our economy nowhere but benefit them greatly. This is cultural genocide and you need to stop, NOW! You don't see us burdening India with an additional 500,000 political refugees per year, now do you? They wouldn't allow it. We shouldn't either. I am angry about it and I hate my government for being such horrible sell-outs while throwing Canadians under the bus for a business bribe. I'm never paying taxes again. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! What a s^%t hole fascist country we have become. it appears I was never appreciated and my hard work here was for some foreigner to get ahead, not me. Gotta keep those wages low and the price of housing up though, hey!? You awful idiots! I stand on guard for thee Canada and I will not allow her to be ruined for the greed of a bunch of scallywags who are selling her off to the lowest bidder for profit while they hurt everyone who lives here and wanted to see this country become great.

gotta get those votes.

I mean. Then we’re gonna have a new random ass religion that believes in beheading chickens (which already exists = Santeria) and y’all gonna be cool about that? Y’all gotta use some common sense lol.

One of the top issues is being black. Seen as black and identified as black when you leave a predominantly Black Country. \nWhen I watch the various Realestate shows of white people buying property abroad as second home or just packing up and moving. I always say it must be nice! Because the reality is they can see them self almost everywhere unless they choose to go into a remote area then that’s the only exception but even then as long they learn the language and respect the culture they are good they are liked welcomed and even seen as fascinating. Not saying they don’t have to struggle but the colour of their skin is the least! \nAmerica is great if your trying to be self made, be your own business owner, and other random ventures you want to dabble in. But to just go there and be a regular teacher, doctor, lawyer, engineer to the low and middle class you’ll end up with the same financial issues and struggles as a result. You gotta now cater to the rich and famous wealthy people but then it’s back to never being home and not enough time for family. \nThe reality is if we could make the money we make here in North America and Uk back home in in the Caribbean and specific countries in Africa it would be a dream come true and that goes for other communist countries too. You truly have to know what makes you happy. Make money but enjoy life it might mean living below your means even though you can can afford a bit better life style. People do it all the time back home (not because they want to I know) but for some reason when you move abroad a one bedroom for your single self is to small, the car under $24k isn’t good enough, you don’t want your kids to share a room so you need a bigger house and the list goes on and on. \nCanada is boring if your not in a major city with money to spend you know why? Because people forget the population of the entire country of Canada is only a 3rd, 4th, 10th of the population of certain countries that immigrants came from and in the case of the US population it’s 100x more than Canada. So of course there’s more opportunities there. \nAnd finally imagine if more countries didn’t need visas to travel? They really would just come to make money and go back home or live bicoastal. Even just the freedom of travel half of the immigrants would of settled elsewhere before the year was up or go back home.

Canada is a very alienating country. Alienation financially, aging, work, family. You are discouraged from everything. Even travel is expensive in Canada. Europeans, Americans and other countries make it easier to travel their countries but not Canada. Gotta Go!

That’s because the health care is for all honey! It’s gotta come from somewhere

I think relocating to Canada and subsequently leaving is a product of not having proper information or having a misconception about a western country before moving there in the first place. There's an emphasis of 'you really have to work hard' for new immigrants which they generally take for granted. Quite frankly, only sincere people empathize on hardwork. I find that most people seeking suggestion/advice always want to start from the top to bottom rather than bottom to top. Every society has it's own challenges. New immigrants who have just been in Canada for only 3years get frustrated while comparing themselves with people who have lived in Canada for 15 years. Growth is a gradually process, when it's automatic it's too good to be true!! All these similar countries run the say type of system, you gotta love where you chose to live. With that being said, we will continue to welcome new immigrants who re willing to start from the beginning to grow their dreams and wave goodbye to people who came and decided to leave. I love Canada ??

Ima just say it you soft as hell if u can't handle the cold. There's sooooo much to do with it you gotta find out what's best for u. Skiing, snowboarding, sledding, ice skating, pond hockey, snow mobiles all so much fun. Also the summers are beautiful and warm not hot, gross and sticky like the south of the US

i gotta go tell my parents i retract my prior statement about moving to Québec im a real québécois 4 real from now on lol

I love Quebec also but like any province it has its flaws, we are governed by 2 gouvernements who hate each other so both fight about everything,we pay taxes to both these governments, the only way you can attend or send your children to English school is if you were born here(canada) and someone in your family went to english school, so if you are french or an immigrant you have no choice in the matter you are going to french school, we were voted the most corrupt province a few years back, you can do anything you want though….as long as you paid for your permit to do it, wanna ride the trails on your atv 300$, wanna ride a motorcycle anywhere between 600$(for a cruiser) to 1700$(sportbike), growing cannabis is illegal unless you buy a 600$ permit then its ok. But even with all its flaws its still an amazing place AND we have maple syrup ? oh but if you make some don’t forget permission from the Federation to sell it cause they can impose massive fines all the way up to seizing you farm. But really its not all that bad…. Crap gotta go it’s curfew time don’t wanna get a 1600$ fine for being out past 8. \n\np.s our Poutine isn’t the one starting a war
