I think that a lot of people who seem to hate Canada in this comment section are either from Toronto and Vancouver, the two most expensive cities in the country, but these two cities don't represent Canada as a whole. \n\nPersonally I live in a smaller city in Québec (Saguenay) and life quality is super good, there are a lot of job opportunities and housing is very cheap, and it is an amazing place for outdoor lovers\n\nI saw many comments saying that the US is cheaper than Canada... Those people simply don't compare what's comparable. If you compare Toronto with comparable cities in the US like New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, Toronto is in fact MUCH cheaper. If I compare my city with comparable cities in the US, well it turns out that Saguenay is much cheaper\n\nSo before wanting to move to another country, you can simply think about moving within Canada. If however you hate winter, then there's no reason to stay here ?

Ici à Trois-Rivières au Québec la vie est beaucoup moins chère et si vous apprenez le français vous êtes les bienvenus

Except Québec -- the spoiled brat of Confederation. The Alabama of Civil Rights legislation north of the 49th Parallel and the premier advocate of institutionalized racism.

Come ine Québec its much much cheaper

Does anyone have a recommendation for an immigration consultant/lawyer cabinet who help with someone who had studied in Canada in the past and wants to come back to Québec or New Brunswick? Thanks in advance

As an immigrant born in Mexico and living in Canada (Québec) for the last 32 years I'm certainly going back to Mexico once I retire. Cost of living is awful and taxes are too high to consider staying in Canada.\nOur current Prime minister Justin Trudeau did help to make this much worse. Trudeau spends our money like crazy...and the worse is that he is telling Canadians that he does not care about it and he will spend much more. Better to leave?

Very good video men ! That’s reality of this country !\nI watched your video from Montreal Québec !

So glad to be in Québec.?

Je suggérerais aux potentiels immigrants d'éviter le Canada, et surtout le Québec, à tout prix, et d'envisager la Suède comme destination de choix... Leurs services sociaux sont généreux et les Suédois sont super tolérants à l'égard des migrants en provenance de pays aux mœurs exotiques... C'est pour ça que la Suède participe à un programme extra-territorial pour décourager les migrants en provenance du Tiers-Monde d'atteindre ses frontières.

Québec is notoriously racist to any and everyone who isn’t a white Francophone with a long, established genealogy in that province.

Well I had a kid this year in Québec, it was like 250$ for a single room or 20$ for double room or something. \nYeah some hospital would sell our informations to banks and diapers or food manufacturers... still cheaper than 3000$USD\nFor student I'd say if you are citizen of canada, it's like 10 time cheaper to study here than in US as far as I've seen.\nViolence is something really sad. I'd really wish that just guns were restrain for hunting and special forces, like police officer or body gard of gouvernment selected individual accredited to hold a weapon for defence.\nI've heard that in USA police don't all have to go through police academy that teach them how be an officer. Here they have to go to school, be cadets in summer break, have your attitude checked to de-escalat violent situation if possible.\nWhen I was a in high school violence was in drop in school, so much that they withdraw the officer that was station to that school to just do some one time per year presentation of what to do for security, to absolutely nothing.

I married a Québécoise and moved from the USA to Québec 7 years ago. I learned French. If we had to rely on public health care, she would have died. We get timely excellent private medical care in Québec and the USA at reasonable cost. If you're lucky enough to live in a province/city with good treatment for whatever ails you, that's great. But if care is lacking for your situation in Canada, you have to travel and pay, or you will suffer and possibly die.

Police in Québec must study for 5 years before they work..that why we don't trust usa cops: they are just random guy whit gun compared to us

Yes Canada is better for care but at my hospital you can wait 12 to 15 hour on the emergency waiting room. Montreal same, Québec same. Thats why you are call a patient, because you need it to wait.

Born and raised in Québec, but my parents now live in North Carolina. When I retire I'll be spending half the year there and half the year here. You asked if there was a reason to move to the States. For my parents, it was a great job opportunity for my dad. Now, they are retired and living on the beach. They don't regret it for a second.

Québec will seperate from this bs country in the next couple of years

The fact that Tyler is surprised at how many people bring up school shootings as a reason to stay away from the US is a scary indication of how much this type of violence has become normalized. I'm Canadian and throughout my professional life I've spent time working in the US. In fairness, I've met some truly great people. Also in fairness, religion seeps into US politics in ways that it never does in Canada and never in a good way. Christian fundamentalism is a scary reality of US life intent as it is on heaping hate on sexual minorities and taking away rights wherever they are allowed to. An additional point, but this one is only an irritant, is how ignorant so many Americans are about the world. At any rate, I'm retired and live with advanced kidney disease and a pacemaker. For those reasons alone I couldn't afford to live in the US. Thankfully, my country takes good care of me and my provincial government (Québec) even covers most of the cost of my expensive prescription drugs.

Who would want to live in Québec

Vous pouvez dire ce que vous voulez je trouves qu’on une excellente qualité de vie au Québec jamais je changerais de province. J’haïs le « doom and gloom » des gens qui commentent ici.

Our son (22 yo) was in a traffic accident 3 years ago. Heavy multi-trauma that necessitated 18 surgeries, the latest was 2 months ago. He still has complications that forces him into long hospital stays. If we were living in the US, not only the whole family would have been bankrupt, but he most certainly would have died from lack of fund to pay for his care. Being Canadians living in Quebec, we didn't pay a dime, and his medical care wasn't even entirely paid for by the universal national healthcare. Most of it was paid by the Société d'Assurance Automobile du Québec (provincially funded, single payer automotive insurance).\n\nEverything, including renovations to the house to make it suitable for a wheelchair user and so much other things he now needs has been paid for. All in all the cost of all the medical care, prothesis, equipments, surgeons (6 of them, diffrent specialies), multiple MRIs, scans, stress-tests, ect. is most certainly in the 7-figure by now. The single payer automotive insurance granted him a pension for life, calculated on the base of the salary he would have made in his future job, had the accident not cut short his university education.\n\nJust typing this to show a very valid reason why it makes absolutely no sense for a Canadian to move to the US, makes me tear up for families down south going through a similar situation, knowing that unless they are millionaires, they're probably going through hell. Each time we hear about the health care system in the US, we have feelings I can't even describe.\n\nEdited to add: Our son is covered by his father's complementary health insurance he has at his job. We didn't have to claim anything there yet.

I think you missed the ball on two points.\n\n1) although Canada has a higher share of current immigrants, 99% of all americans are descended from at least one great grandparent who came from abroad before settling down. America is a nation of immigrants down into its blood, and the current state of affairs is more a reflection of abberation than the norm, even in spite of our history of the Klan and know nothing party.\n\n2) Québec sets its own immigration policy and it is WAAAAAAY stricter, like, they have a french literacy test that a parisian with a PhD in French literature failed, and when this is brought up most Quebecois say this makes sense because *the French* are doing a poor job of preserving frenchness against encroachment from foreign language and culture. Meanwhile L'Acedemie Français is the chief dead horse to beat amongst folks who want to make jokes of linguistic and cultural prescriltivism.

13:02 Tabarnak is a swear word in Québec and other French speaking regions of Canada. It's like saying Hell no!\nIt comes from Tabernacle (a small cupboard in a church to keep the holy hosts).

As a Québec citizen, I just laughed so hard when I saw that someone actually wrote « tabarnak ». It would also be my own answer. Although I enjoy traveling to the USA and have seen amazing places and met great people, there is no way in hell I would move there. The main reason is the blind patriotism some people show that leads to fanatism and extremists opinions often generated by the right religious wing. Politics in the US is a freak show. Nothing less…

I live in Québec, borned and raised here too. I would NEVER move to USA. There is no good reason to do that. As a woman, I would fear for my safety, my health and my rights on my body. Hell fucking no. This country feels like it's back to the 1800s with all these guns and archaic laws. The Far West era is far far away behind us, and it should stay right there. It was a very interesting video though :P I enjoy watching your content a lot!

Bin tabarnak je comprend tous ces gens , je préfère vivre en artic avec un ours polaire comme voisin ? et oui petit bonjour du Québec ? can't talk 'bout religion... We Got a bit to Much here too! ? Je me dit si je devais habiter au USA je sais au milieu d'une montagne , en pleine forêt, et surtout personne aux alentours ?

I want to clarify something a lot of Canadians get wrong: Biggest bank of Canada is actually Desjardins but it is not controlled by OSFI because back 1995 everyone knew Québec was going to seperate from Canada. It got the approval from Canada, the support and recognition from multiple UN countries so Canada went ahead and did all the paper work in advance to prepare Québec for independence and because Québec was to keep using Canadian dollars, Desjardins the biggest bank in Québec became allowed to print its own Canadian cash... But then disaster: The 1995 referendum failed by 50 thousand votes and so Québec stayed in Canada and Desjardins won the lottery like the Federal reserve in the US did. Now Desjardins is the biggest bank of Canada. https://youtu.be/DwGnoDutrQI \nThe socalled big 6 tradditional banks are more like the bank of OSFI because it is OSFI that controls them. But Desjardins is in direct competition with OSFI and free to do pretty much whatever it wants and because it is french it is one of the sources of the jealousy you hear a lot from english canadians when they talk about the unfair favoritism the Canadian govt has towards the french Canadians.

Tyler, I hope that you'll comment on what I have just written. Have a good meditation... A friend from Québec city. ????

After having watched a few seasons of a certain home improvement TV show that happens in the city of Laurel, Mississippi, I for myself would gladly move there IF I could have a decent job. However, my wife who doesn't speak english wouldn't leave her dear Québec. Only thing that might hold my 17 y.o. son is the fact that his girlfriend propably couldn't/wouldn't want to move too. My older son who'se 20 simply wouldn't care at all. Like me, he has friends (forum friends) allover the USA. Lol

Tyler reading Québec swear words out loud is so funny!

For your school safety thing, I have never seen a metal detector in a school in Québec City. There are NO gun drill (prepareness for gun attack, don't know what your call them). In Québec right now, we have a big discussion about school violence (mostly intimidation), but never seen gun or knife involve in the discussion. That is priceless for teaching the children from my point a view.

This hard to understand for people from the usa, but the usa is not interesting at all. Most Americans don't understand what seems ok to them is plain crazy for people from modern country. 40 years ago Québec (my part of Canada ) was more modern than usa right now on almost any social topic, from human rights, religious stuff in public instand of being private, better economy law, , egality, ect. The way nothing is rational, the way all the politic is done on blind ideology is just plain scary. Sad, but usa is NOT a modern country on a lot (almost all) topics.

I am from Québec and my choice to move to another country would be Sweden, Finland or Norway there more like us. The last time i have travelling in the USA is almost 20 years now and not sure to go back in your country soon. So a big NO for me but i like your vidéo you are welcome in my country.

Freedom index: U.S. the world champion of democracy and freedom ranked actually 20th... Canada ranked 6th. To me it's a good reason enough not to move from Québec.

I would move to the south of USA during the winter and go back in Québec during the summer!

I would Never moove to USA. To many stupid magas, a corrupt supreme court, no decent affordable health care. To many guns on the street. I live in Québec, where scolar ship to high Lebel, is practically Fred. University, the only place you really pays something is still very affordable. Si tank you, but non thanks.

Tyler Bucket you should try moving to canada or Québec if you are willing to speak french, by the way english comes from french at 45 to 65%..tabarnak or tbk

Travelled there so many times but I compare it to Paris : Heaven and Hell in the same place... Tried living there but was so happy to get back to Québec. The culture is not at all the same... But it is the most beautiful country to visit. Same with France but on a much smaller scale.

Why do the french especially from Québec swear all the time?

⚜️ Vive le Québec libre ⚜️

The guy left Vancouver certainly as much as he left Canada. This country is a veru diverse place. In fact it contains many countries, including Québec where i come from. There is problems everywhere including in Europe.

Youpi Québec is the first Je peut parler en français si vous voulez ?

14:09 YES. YES, HE SAID IT CORRECTLY. Montréal bagels are AWESOME. Glad to live here, although, I was absolutely sure at first that, by your standards, Québec was gonna be pretty low on the list, a pleasant surprise, for sure. I believe that all provinces are wonderful, because, here you have to deal with some.. very grumpy indeviduals with.. a very colourful french language palate. Awesome video, would recommend to anyone willing to move here ❤❤❤

Why other canadians hate Québec? Is it because they speak french ??

About québec Bars, Pubs, Brasseries are closing at 3.00 Am. So forget about illicit bars. In Ontatio bars ar closing at 1.00 Am. People of Ottawa are crossing the bridge to Québec to finish the party. So what was said in that beautiful video concerning your possibilities of having a good drink at night are wrong. An other way to be unfriendly towards our citizens. ( as usual). We are not bums. So please be advised accordingly.

My 66 year old wife who is white as snow was stopped outside a large supermarket \nin Québec City, and had to open her purse and show its countant ,\n because she had not triggerded any transaction whyle leaving.\nThe reason: she did not buy anything.

Vive le Québec

Québec is nice as long as you don't drive. It's lawless on the roads in Québec, especially Montreal ?

The law in Québec applies to all religious symbols and has nothing about it that specifically targets Muslims. Wanting our public servants in positions of authority to not show allegiance to any religion is a legitimate endeavour and has nothing to do with discrimination, just like preventing them from wearing political symbols is not discrimination either.

I'm canadian and yeah, while the healthcare can be tricky sometimes, in cas of a emergency, it's not that tricky. I had to go to the ER 2 times in 3 month because of a pneumothorax, arrived there, pass in 15 min approximatly both time and was in charge, spent 1 week each time there and the second time even had to have a part of my lung removed. Had no real tricky manipulation to do or anyhing. I was just happy it cost me absolutely nothing and I think it's definetly a reason why the lifespan is higher since in case of an emergency, if I was in the US and had to pay, I would have actually died, since I don't have the money for it, I'm a student so... (that also helps, my session cost me around 200 bucks... yeah, 200, I'm in college). Healthcare should really be something free everywhere, you never know when a shit can happen and... you can't really prepare your bank account for it...\n\nSorry for the bad english, I'm a native french speaker (yes, I'm from Québec)

I live in Ontario and I used to live in Alberta and Québec and Ontario is way better then Alberta in my opinion but québec and Ontario are tied in my opinion
