Alright... Quebec first is like super controversial, has to be Ontario. Good point about the Alberta economy though, I would put them 3 or 4 due to this

I am planning to move out from Winnipeg to Toronto next week or so, my family moved out to BC, Alberta and Ontario.

I'm from Ontario and imo it's just as bad as ppl say the USA is there is tons of gun violence especially in Brampton there are drugged up ppl in my town there Is even a street where there are always ambulances bc there are stabbings and shootings bc of crazy drugged up ppl \nI don't even feel safe going downtown or for a walk especially at night also the costs of living is high and the Healthcare is trash

Not sure how Ontario made it to #4. Here's a realistic description: Unaffordable, ugly, boring, overcrowded, very stressful, you need to work 80 hours a week to afford your $8000.00 mortgage or rent, worst restaurants, clubs, shopping and entertainment, crime is shooting through the roof, a developers dream so little urban or suburban green space. Yes, anything in northern Ontario is nice but it's quickly all becoming a hot mess. People are nasty, really really nasty and only care about their own lives, cars and houses...one huge competition to the finish line here. We just bought our retirement house in NB because we decided there is no way we want to retire in Ontario!

11:28 I recognize that town. It's Tobermory on the Isle of Mull SCOTLAND. There is also a Tobermory Ontario named after it, but it looks nothing like this.

Ontario, Burlington\nJust beautiful

Thanks for sharing your experience, Navdeep. Have a doubt, since you got the Express entry PR through PNP program, are there any restrictions in terms of working in different cities in Canada such as we have to work only in Ontario in your case) and resident in Ontario only, things like this?? Thank you!!

We just drove across Canada in July, and agree with your assessment of Quebec, and most of the other provinces. Manitoba and Ontario were in a shockingly run down state, and Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Quebec were our top three. BC is beautiful, but you cannot ignore all the corruption and the hyper-inflated RE market making a mess of everything. We're from BC, and love the place, but it is too difficult to survive there. PEI is in our top three worst provinces, as it's reputation is completely unfounded.

Shouldn't Ontario be number 10 given it's the 'most multicultural' - discuss.

Ontario Premiere !! \n\nDOUG FORDS net worth increased from $3 Million in 2019 to $50 million now due to Covid Acquisitions in the form of a $100 million dollar contract for his company DELCO to print Covid Signs and stickers for the government. LOCK HIM UP NOW !!! Or he will continue to get RICH by LOCKING YOU DOWN. full investigation and tribunal required.

My vote would be Ontario.

I’m from Ontario, but I’ve been working outside of the country for over 4 years now. If I ever move to a different province, my top choices would be Alberta and British Columbia. Other possibilities would be Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and Quebec.

I can't trust anyone who would rank Ontario and Quebec above British Columbia and Nova Scotia by any measurable standard. You're delusional.

Can I move to Ontario after getting PNP from Nova Scotia ?

Just wonder what that stock broker do in Ontario's farm? Do you have any idea? Thanks for a great vdo.

2:27 yes but nearly no violent crime. 5x the crime per person then the country but your more likely to get murdered in Toronto. And the territories has the benefit of being absolutely gorgeous in the summer and a lake everywhere you look. The city of Yellowknife alone touches 8 lakes. Additionally -40 isn’t bad, just stay inside. And if you go to high school in the NWT and then move back you get student loans payed off, I believe there are similar things in Yukon and Nunavut. Anyways the territories beat living down in Ontario or Quebec any day

I live in Ontario

love how you boil ontario down two cities out of dozens lmao

Canada is like 3 countries in one, so it really depends where you are, especially if you wish to talk about culture. Im guessing you are in western Canada because that part is one of the youngest parts of Canada, it doesnt have much culture. Tho if you are in central Canada (Ontario) you'll most get a blend of american and english culture. The place where hawaiian and canadian pizza invented. Ontario is obsessed with pizza. \nTho the Eastern part is where Canadian culture is at its strongest AKA French Canada. Thats where most Canadian traditions like the Rigodon music and traditional food comes from such as: Pâté Chinois, Tourtière, Poutine, Donair, Poudigne Chômeur, Tarte au Sucre, Tarte au Fraise et Rhubarb and so on. French Canada even has its own version of french, its so different from the rest of the world that when a when they meet they wont understand half the words each sides say. French Canadian is based on the old french of the French nobility tho it completely disapeared in France during the revolutionary era because everyone that spoke it got executed. So french Canadian is basically a unique language now, i can totally see it getting rename as Canadian the language of Canada in the future especially of the west does indeed seperate. But right now its called the Joual. \nI hope i helped you fineeladies in having a better understanding of Canadian culture. \nIn a nutshell: English Canadians dont have a culture while french Canadians are extremely cultural.

Let’s stop giving Quebec all Alberta oil money and Ontario resources and just give them Justin Trudeau and all the liberal people who ruin the the rest of the country.

As a Canadian in my opinion I would say Ontario is best but I mostly agree have day

I'm from Quebec and moved to Alberta and I agree it could be a great province to live in, except if your job is in Montreal and you want to commute. The traffic of Montreal is horrible, even worse than Toronto's. The healthcare and education systems of Quebec are also inferior to Alberta, BC and Ontario because of the very heavy bureaucracy. Oh and heavy bureaucracy = Higher taxes than elsewhere in the country. But Quebec has a good quality of life in general because of its low cost of living in general and its strict controls on rent, car insurance and electricity prices, which prevent these from going up by too much. People tend to benefit from more government protections towards abusive businesses in Quebec than elsewhere in the country. Quebec also has cheaper beer, but wine and spirits are cheaper in Alberta. That province also doesn't have a lawsuit culture because of its no-fault rules in many aspects (For ex: You cannot be sued for causing a car accident or failing to clear snow from your driveway.) Alberta is more boring (At least, Edmonton. Calgary looks very cool.), but has better public services and better economic potential than Quebec. It's better in my opinion to raise a family in Alberta. And many people think you can move to Quebec without knowing French. That's false, except if you really wanna hate your time in Quebec. In terms of the climate, Quebec has a milder climate than Alberta but has more snow and their summers are very damp, while Alberta has more comfortable and dry summers. Owning an A/C is imperative in Quebec.

Wow, Did Those Québécois threatened to stop your supply of Poutine and Maple Syrup !!!!!!! Is that Why you ranked them above Ontario ?????

To me, the problem is threefold. a) Toronto and Ontario in general - and perhaps the whole of Canada - are accepting way more immigrants than they have quality jobs for. If you need taxi drivers and plumbers, maybe this experience should be valued way higher than education as part of the existing immigration programs (which is not the case). At least then potential immigrants know this before they come and get stuck in low-paying or relatively OK-paying but repetitive and demoralizing jobs with debts and mortgages that become a trap preventing them from leaving. It's also partially on immigrants themselves who come to Toronto to only find out there's 100 people competing for one spot and that you need to be exceptional - or connected through your ethnic network - to work regular white-collar jobs. b) The official bipartisan policy of non-integration. The naive expectation that having people live in ethnic enclaves will somehow make the overall culture richer is not what happens: instead, people tend to stick to their own communities and the common culture thus gets eroded and limited to economic and financial matters. This makes some cities feel like one large business with everyone networking 24/7 instead of socializing normally. And arguably, having the right culture / social life is what motivates already successful people move in the first place. So when they come and they find out there's nothing but money talk and hustling, they leave (if they're smart). Quebec is doing better in that regard, but then Quebec is not really Canada and it's been pressured to cave in to the same money-centred, uncultured and disconnected society by the feds for decades now. The States is smarter in that it actually makes sure to integrate its immigrants (and let's be honest, many immigrants like being part of a new culture if it fits them) c) Treating real estate as an investment and not as a basic necessity (as Japan or some Nordic countries do, for example). That coupled with a lot of Asian money being laundered in Canada through immigration channels and private equity firms buying whole apartment blocks for rental purposes has led to the highest housing price increase in all of the developed world in the past 20 years or so. The median price of a condo in Toronto is higher than in New York despite the massive gap in salaries and the fact that New York is one of the most expensive cities in the world to begin with. Some draconian measures are needed here to prevent foreign - or even out-of-province ownership -, second property ownership and corporate ownership for renting purposes.

I think the best province is Ontario

Ontario the best man what u talking bout

Ontario is the armpit of Canada

Just fyi, Ontario is the biggest province in terms of population size and not Quebec, and by far. However, Montreal (Quebec biggest city) is indeed one of the best city in Canada because of it's different cultural/shows events that are happening almost all year long, and it's very diverse as well. Also, in the western part of Montreal it wouldn't be a problem for a unilingual anglophone to live there because everyone is bilingual or unilingual English. Quebec city is also the oldest city in North America, a very nice place to visit and only 250 km from Montreal. If one is working in the financial sector however Toronto remains the real option in my opinion, but his way more expensive and so, so boring compared to Montreal.

Some Of The Answers Given (And Accepted) Were Wrong, The Test Giver Gave It To Them Anyway Because He Was Just Being Nice And He Was Under Justin Trudeau's Strict Orders To Allow ANY Immigrant Into The Country ?\n\nHere Are The Correct Answers:\n\n1. The Capital Of Canada Is Ottawa Which Is In Ontario, It's Not Found In Quebec Because Quebec Is Racist Due To Bill 21!\n\n2. War And Political Extremism!\n\n3. Maple Syrup!\n\n4. Maple Leaf! (Must Match The Color Of The Political Party In First Place)\n\n5. Snow!\n\n6. Hockey!\n\n7. Niagara Falls!\n\n8. Apologize And Be Polite!\n\n9. Russia! (Putin/Poutine)???\n\n10. Greenland! (North Pole)\n\n11. Caribou!\n\n12. Nunavut! But Yeah, Actually Literally None Of It!\n\n13. About! Aboot! (We Need Abot)\n\n14. **Newfoundland Accent**\n\n15. They Were All Canadian!

This is my list \n10. Manitoba \n9. Newfoundland and Labrador \n8.Saskatchewan \n7. New Brunswick \n6. Pei \n5. Alberta \n4. Ontario \n3. Quebec \n2. Nova Scotia \n1. Bc

Ontario trashest place in Canada but Still not bad racist?? Take nites America(Toronto trash I dont live near ontario

I agree with this. Lived in Montréal for 10 years, Quebec has it all. But, moved to New Brunswick for cheaper housing market, visited British Colombia, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia it's all beautiful too, but always love going back to Ontario, so many things to see and do esp if you're a sports fanatic it has (NBA/NHL/MLB etc. Also, I love Alberta for it's majestic scenery esp Banff but I don't like it's politics.

I'm move in Ontario Ottawa Im originally from Quebec Montreal. Ontario is so great better compare to Quebec even school are better in Ontario even the food everything is better in Ontario than Quebec to me Ontario is the best province in Canada I can tell

I'd wished you come to Montreal in Quebec! That said, I don't leave my lovely province very often but I might make a short trip in Ontario you see you guys in Ottawa. I've been hoping to see you perform on stage for a very long time!

Great work lads! Couple things right quick: it's pronounced poo-TEEN, also NEW-f'n-land. ? Otherwise good job with the phonology - based on the people I've known from thereabouts, Arms sounds to me like he might be a middle-aged techie from rural Ontario, which makes perfect sense here?

Love it. You are coming here to Canada (or at least Ontario and BC?) Yay!

Fun fact : British Columbia, Ontario, and Alberta are the top performers among all the provinces, earning “B” grades on the Education and Skills report card.

hey im from BC and it's a fair choice to put bc at fourth, but alberta is kinda too cold but at the same time in ways is better than BC I completely agree with Ontario being up there on second cuz its really great. i've never been to quebec and I'm not that interested but maybe I will visit it now to see the difference.

I was raised in Brampton Ontario and when my family moved there from ?Nova Scotia there were a total of 20.000thousand people there and when I left there after my mother died I went west my brother stayed my father stayed for 10 more years then went back to NS and I went from BC to Edmonton To Prince Albert it would seem I go to every shit hole in Canada but when I left Brampton there were 3.8 million and when I went back to visit my father in N.S. and my brother in Brampton it was 6.8million and Pictou was the nicest Brampton sucked as the crime rate was crazy .When we were in EDENPARK DRIVE we were there first and the first Pakistani's moved in with the whole color scream hooked shoes with bells on the toes and robes we never seen be for and then finding out there child is named Happy that was different but when my father got a gas BBQ and he was cooking his first roast beef they were all out there cursing my father for cooking there sacred animal and he said dam right it is sacred that my f-ckin dinner.

I've lived in Ontario my while life, and I would much rather live in Alberta or the east coast.\nI hate the city, and the Government is slowly killing the agriculture here

Let’s be honest Ontario is the best. We are the engine.

I hate Quebec. I felt very unaccepted by the people who live there. I would go into restaurants and gas stations and when I didn't speak French the workers would speak very aggressive and disrespectful. I try to avoid Quebec whenever possible. Not to mention the drivers are terrible. Overall I would probably move to Alberta, since Ontario house prices are high.

when it comes to cultural differences, what you said there is a huge huge generalization. Why? Some preferred cultural behavior might be true for tiny nations (or small geographic areas). That is because of rather reasonable distances, habits could spread all over that area within past centuries (that is how all that is made). But talking even about Russians is a heavy stereotype. By best guess your Russians from around Moscow area and those close to eastern Chinese borders would differ more than those groups of of Chinese (or Mongolian if Mongolia is also close by), that are right on the other side of that eastern border with their Russian counterparts. And of course by Russians I mean here citizens of Russia and not their ethnicity. \nSo Saying how Europeans are all reserved (which funny enough if you mean Europe geographically would include Moscow), is just a huge misstep. It is like calling all USA citizens to be same way (something you might really want to avoid doing if ever you visit USA).\nAlso Climate. First of all Ontario is not the other name for Toronto or GTA area. It is rather big province. So that weather heavily depends if you are sitting in Toronto, Ottawa, North Bay or Windsor. That humid weather as you stated is only truth for the parts that are closer to those big lakes.\nAnd for the love of god. Canada DOES NOT have a paid insurance. Each province has its own paid insurance. So while certain things might be free in one province (like emergency ambulance), it is partially paid in other province.

Well with the influx of people from Ontario moving to NB this past year and a half, increasing demand and cost of homes, I'd say NB needs a second look to be moved higher up in the ranks.

Born and raised francophone from Québec, that has seen ALL of Canada and I love it ALL. Every province and territories are amazing. Also lived in Ontario, Alberta and BC.

This list is absurd. Clearly, it goes: The Yukon, BC, Quebec, everyone else randomly placed, and then Ontario. Every Canadian knows this. Except the ones from Ontario.

Can anybody tell me where in Ontario is shown at the 11m28s mark? I live in Ontario and have been around but I can't quite figure it out. In addition, the height of the tide is really throwing me for a loop. I'm not aware of inland waterways that have that level of tides .... so I'm very curious!

I live in Ontario but really want to move to quebec or Bc(may be the greener grass on the other side) . The problem with Bc is that it's too far away from Europe and Pakistan but it's so beautiful. Quebec I can move but I don't know french. My wife and children can speak though. May I should learn some

where would Ontario and Quebec rank if the money tap from Alberta got shut off. If the economy in those provinces is so good why do they need such big handouts from the west?

in my personal opinion, Ontario and Quebec are the worst. ( I live in Alberta btw )
