I can't deal with city folk in both US and Canada. The moment that uptalk hits my ear cannal, I might as well throw my coffee away, because my blood pressure gets-a-pumpin'

Am I wrong in thinking Montreal, Quebec, and Toronto have very different cultures both from a language and lifestyle perspective? Folks I've talked to tell me its real different.

Haven't lived in Canada but been to Toronto a few times. I'm from Atlanta, GA and I think the southern hospitality is still true for us. In downtown Toronto, when interacting with people, I didn't get that. Customs acted like they didn't want to let us in the country and were rude (I'm sure the US is like this too), and the Canadians I came into contact weren't very friendly. I didn't bother anyone, minded my business but when having to interact or passing folks in the street, I didn't have a good experience.

I love American infrastructure. I can drive wherever the hell I want on the continent while laughing at broke folk stuck in college towns and slums in the big cities

Stunned by Preach pronouncing Mobile properly. ? As a Tennessee native I can testify that most folks in Alabama cannot.

This is a disgrace . You people should stop this. Indians and even Kenyans will not shame their Country so much. Imagine one calling Nigera Trench ,your Father's land !!! Dont come back now continue to be a stranger in foreign nations. Most of this ones their parents are lonely, living pathetically alone in big houses.\nFor folks always sending their children abroad l have a little story for u. There was a man that celebrated his 70th birthday. None of his so called choldren graced the occassion. I don't think they came home till his last day. He has gone to his eternal home now, where l believe he will never be lonely again. So whats all this stress

Legal immigrants are also pissed at the amount of refugees. We went through so much to get here. But these folks just get right in and considered Canadians!?

its human nature folks, its like tempation you either act on it or you dont.

One problem I see with this system, is that some folks may end up homeless, but not necessarily on drugs, they will end up at shelters full of people that DO drugs, and thus have no escape, other then becoming a drug addict too. So your liberal ideas are actually increasing the homeless drug addict problem.

Great video. The Us & Canada seem to be similarly alone when it comes to tax application. Sales taxes are applied the same way in both Canada & the US, on top of the sales price. This is shocking at first until you get used to it, if you ever do... income taxes are also similar, filing tax reports federally and in some cases by province or state. FYI, for folks with multiple jobs, one should be able to complete a tax form so their employer does not take the personal tax exemption. means lower pay but less surprise come tax time. Agree on employment & technology, seems like Canadians need to see new tech elsewhere before they adopt... and experience outside Canada not being counted is something many companies and governments here are looking to address, but the pace is slow

I can't imagine Canada has transparent homeless folks especially in downtown?!

Rent in Canada is expensive for low wage employees and untouchable for disabled people. Homelessness causes DRUG ADDICTION folks we NEED HOUSING for everyone. Canada doesn't deserve to preach human rights to other countries at all!!!.

QUEBEC FOR THE WIN NIGGAS ?????? I swear you’re missing out folks , alberta and qc are canada’s sweet spots , And BC would basically be heaven if it weren’t for the over priced cost of food , land , houses , etc

Nothing against immigration but make it equal for everyone not 1 specific demographic, Canada really should allow more immigration from Mexico, Central and South America as folks from these Country's have more in common with American and Canadian customs and traditions.

Short answer . Yes in every way… US is better\n\nTo be clear, US believes in the free market. It’s an “at will” culture so if you don’t like your job conditions , quit and get another. You don’t like your healthcare policy, shop around. Socialism isn’t the answer folks

This is what I pay my internet bill for! An eye opening documentary for all the Indian folks out there!

look folks...it's simple to me....the current Kebeker/LIE-berals in power in Canada don't have any clue about economics...all they're doing here is setting up the Conservatives to fail, solidifying their return in 3-5 years............yawn.

You're all being replaced folks

I think we should be figuring out our housing costs, our medical system and homeless/mental health situation as a priority. Importing cheap labour to keep the WEF folks happy should be the last thing we should be doing.

This is the kalergi plan on action folks. When does it stop?

Remember folks, the great replacement is nothing more than a white nationalist conspiracy that’s coincidentally happening right in front of our eyes.

So let me see… we have an average of 2.5 beds per 1,000 population right now and we are in deep doodoo. Another 500,000 folks means we need another 2,500 beds just to keep up! Where these beds Mr Minister? Next, let’s talk housing, then education and classrooms and then..?

Rich people don't make good debt-slaves.... Piss poor immigrants do. \n\nEg: I bet more 9-5 debt-slaves wore their masks and took injections than multi-million aire business owners did... Debt-slaves have job security and mortgages to protect, rich folks don't.

Bringing a ritualistic useless blunt knife to a swarm of gun carrying county folks ain't much of a playing field to begin with.

At a time when Internet was at its infancy and not available to all, I had researched, applied (snail mail), and came to Canada in 1995 as a foreign student and attended a public college for 3+ years, including co-op. This was 27 years ago and it surprises me that with the wealth of information at our disposal today, there are folks who are still being taken for a ride. People need to smarten up, but often times, I find that it’s the shortcut attitude of many which allows a system like this to exists. I feel sad for these students and their parents, but if you truly want to have a full-fledged Uni / College experience in Canada, then stay away from these for-profit private colleges; apply to a school of repute.

Canadians use immigrants as a way of life. The entire country runs on immigrant labor. However when an American moves to Canada, with advanced skills to bring to the table, we are treated like the Indian folks, so we just turn back around and go home.

As a brown with an accent, it’s double whammy for me. mixed race couples , love ya folks. Will there ever be a time in the future people stop judging based on skin colour? SMH

I have sikh friends , all of them keeps kirpan (knife) touched to skin not fabric ! This dude was flexing , \n\nImagine folks are studying in hall , what x student will think when he sees a knife !

Lol. In India, it's not allowed. Why is US allowing it in college? \nUS folks r going overboard with appeasement and feelings. \n\nNot blaming the student if it was not banned in college. Blaming college authority only. \nPolice did the right thing. NPC is destroying US.

Hmmmm I guess it's true.! Different strokes for different folks. I know people from Africa that have come to Canada complaining that their Country is too hard to live in. There's problems all around the world. I tried explaining this to a friend that it is not easy here in Canada they said their Country is Worse.! This person is from Nigeria ?? ?

Folks it's not greener down below. take what you need leave what you don't

Taxes are high because YOU voted in leftist socialist politicians. Stop being naive, there is no free lunch, there is no such thing as taxing the wealthy, don't you understand, if you say let's tax the wealthy, the wealthy will just leave for areas of less taxation. Grow up folks, you want all the 'stuff' the govt promises, where do you think that stuff is coming from? YOU pay for it.

As someone who is from NB, please dont come here. Listen to the hipe.. Drive-thru us. The issue now is people from Ontario have caught on and all we see is Ontario driving up home prices, moving here in droves and then telling their friends about the hidden gem of NB.. Carry on folks , keep on driving by. The secret is ours and we want to keep it that way. NB sucks and you dont want me move to this hidden gem. I mean sucky province.

I have some very important questions for you NAIJA MUMUS AND ASHAWOS ON HERE: ????\nIf omonaija is so great that you folks are so proud of then why do you people feel the need to constantly flock and flee to everyone else's country all over this planet only to totally disrespect the citizens and try to dominate their country and moreover WHY do you people always feel the need to push and shove your cultures, lingos, swags, food, clothing and every damn thing else that's pertaining to your country down people's throats and force people to accept that bs just to try to impress them with your NAIJA ??️ COUNTRY??? ?????

The tax system is enough to drive you nuts. Folks be living paycheck to paycheck and never breaking even cos of excessive taxation. That sucks.

I'm Kenyan living in the Netherlands. I feel now I'm older once my child turns 18, I'd love to live in my country.\nI admire Canada, and many Africans here once they got their passport went to Canada. I find it cold that's why I didn't come, but have visited Nigeria and want to visit again. I visited Lagos longtime. Hope to visit Abuja. Love Naija food, fashion and culture. I'm surprised most young folk don't want to go back home, but maybe when they're retired. It's all good, build home from outside.

When I tell Africans not to go to Canada they never listen. Canada is a really cool country. There's no doubt about that but in winter the weather gets really cold, dull, grey and depressing. Instead of moving always to The UK, US or Canada, why not try the Caribbean and some central American countries. These countries are very colorful, lively and bright with climate similar to ours. There are lots of folks over there that look like us as well except that you may have to learn a little Spanish which shouldn't be a problem at all. \nI'm a Nigerian too.\nI also dreamt of moving to Canada 15 years ago. I was so crazy in love with the country at first but because I was aware of how depressing winters can be I had to switch my dream destination to the Caribbean. I choose Panama because of the large Afro Panamanian community over there. Secondly because Panama looks like a more developed version of My country, Nigeria with beautiful beaches and a nice tropical weather. It's one of those few Caribbean nations with a free world class universal healthcare system like most countries in Europe.

My sister who works as an RN in Los Angeles told me that she has worked alongside Canadian, British, Aussie nurses in hospitals. California has the highest salaries for nurses in the US if not the entire world. At the height of the pandemic it wasn't unheard of for some of them to make $100/hour. Canada has been losing a lot of experienced healthcare workers to the US and this is partly the reason why their system is at a breaking point. It seems to me that Canada even with it's high cost of living and taxes is still attractive to folks coming from developing countries coz a single person who saves an average of $500/month is still better off than living in their home countries. But there've been thousands of cases of folks coming from Europe, Oceania and well-off countries in Asia who surrendered their PR cards at Pearson and other ports of entry.

MAN NEVER WILL BE SATISFIED FOLKS ALWAYS COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING !!!!!! NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE

RACISM IS IN CANADA AND VERY HIGH IN THE USA, DONT FOR GET ASIANS..Chinese, yes they pretend to like color folks, do the research. Love the content

Luv it! I moved to Canada about 5 yrs ago from US cause ignorantly thought it would be no racism, would be cheaper to live cause free healthcare etc etc. I left 4 mos later. Do research folks before moving anywhere!!

No wonder my uncle hardly sends me money... lol... I love CA but never been there. I have thought about this move to CA but here in Nigeria I have about 5 years career growth in HR and I am currently a team lead and by next year or before the end of this year my promotion to supervisor is very certain plus I work remotely and pay not bad atall but can get better lol... I live also in my folks house cause they leave somewhere else in another state and not staying in that house makes it an empty building... leaving all those behind to start over again in CA makes me feel bad... Naija is sweet if you have money and I just hope our government disposition to given us good governance changes for good. Well done pretty naija ladies

Seal clubbing one was great. When I first brought my wife from australia to meet the folks she asked me about that. I told her it's often done with rusty hooks, but not to worry because I had my mom leave a couple of my hooks out in the weather so they are ready for us. I got to see the most horrified face ever LOL. We were going to Toronto

Bad things about Saskatchewan:\n-A LOT of snow, A LOT\n- negative 30c is the norm in winter, summer usually plus 25c (It's COLD)\n-housing prices aren't as cheap as the video says... sure you can buy a place for $280,000 :) ...an apartment. \nA new family house made in 2012 costs $550,000, an old one made in 1980 costs $330,000.\n- Not a lot of bang for your buck. Yes, there are jobs in the major cities but the pay isn't so great unless you are a nurse or work in health care. (Best province for upcoming nurses btw) Minimum wage for the win! \n-As I said previously, minimum wage for the win! There are jobs but you don't get paid enough to live without a roommate or almost be constantly broke.\n-Rent is okay. If you DO manage to get a decent paying job, like a teacher, plumber, doctor, etc, rent is cheap.\n-Expensive retirement. Thinking the healthcare is great for seniors? It is. But, get ready to give every last penny to your senior home. A neighbour got a quote from a local seniors home for him and his wife, $65,000 per year (MINIMUM) for the 2 of them. That's how much the old folks home costed.\n-You need a car. If you want to visit outside the major cities, you need a car. In the cities you can survive traffick by bus, but it is better with a car.\n-You can't see northern lights a lot. Not from the cities. You have to go north, north, north, out in the middle of nowhere.\n\nGood things about Saskatchewan: \n-No cougars. Bears and wolves live here, mainly in the north.\n-People are friendly. There isn't as much crime in the 2 major cities, Prince Albert does have a lot though just like the video said, so I'd steer clear of that place.\n-Great education. Good place to raise a family.\n-Great healthcare. Has most covered in universal healthcare I think out of every province. Seniors like to move to Saskatchewan for retirement. It's a great place to retire if you have the money to move.\n-Lots of local stuff to see. A lot of local shops, parks, camp grounds, etc.\n-Rent is cheap. It's cheaper than Vancouver or Toronto.\n-Food prices are alright. Not good, not bad, just okay. Even a poor single mother can buy some food I think.\n-Lots of land. There is lots of flat land here. Not that you could own it all lol But it is pretty to look at.\n\nHighlights/Best people to move here:\n-nurses\n-immigrants for fast food jobs\n-rich seniors\n-rich families (good place to raise a family)\n\nPeople not good to move here:\n-single people\n-poor seniors

this is a muslim arear wow to much l no some good muslim folks who ever no this lot put a stop to it now disgusting

Alright folks! What is the best response to ‘can I help you with anything’? Needs to be smooth like you know what they’re implying but badass. Best response wins

I am living in one of the Eastern province and by far Alberta is the best province. The people there are broad minded unlike the folks in Ontario and Quebec. Politicians are crooked…

We were crossing into Canada by Niagara, as soon as the Canadian border guard saw our British passports, before we had even passed them over he said you folks British, no need for that nonsense, were not like that bunch of tight arses over there, gesturing towards the US, come on in and have a great stay ? love Canadians just for that ?
