Canadian (Albertan here) - yes, i don't think i'd move to the States unless it was reasonably close (maybe Montana) with fewer people - i'd like to identify as a Hermit :). I motorcycle and have travelled majority of the States, from coast to coast, and i really do like the country side and scenery, and history, that you run through. I do a 4000-6000 mile tripe every year or two - did Tennessee last year, and Colorado this summer. A lot of absolutely amazing country really, and yes some really great people as well. Have run into some real odd people as well and some places i wanted to get out of pretty quick. I do like the fact the US hasn't bought into this woke agenda and politically correctness - it's absolutely nuts up here. I like the gun laws in the States, too bad we're so screwed over that in Canada. Gotta love Trump - may be a bit of a bozo but hey - the guy lays it out and owns his shit, every other polititician plays the blame game and does everything politically correct... End of day, i'd prefer to stay in Canada, either Alberta or British Columbia.

Disappointing you rushed over a respondent's feeling about the abortion issue in the US as it is completely on point. Health care costs are one thing (actually huge) but when you're forced to carry a fetus to term against your will (would any man?) that alone is why no woman would put her hand up to head to your neck of the woods - for her own sake and for that of her daughter's and any other female for that matter (Canadians tend to care about other people not just themselves). If you want to know why someone WOULD leave Canada for the US, it would likely be for family; or warmer weather...but at this point you guys are on fire and family can come visit us here. We are blessed here for so many reasons (fresh water, beautiful country, health care, freedom to choose, freedom to be gay or straight or whatever you are) and while my mom was American and I have cousins and even a nephew in Florida, and I used to love visiting my grandparents in Vermont and New Jersey as a kid, the whole landscape of the US has changed to one of in your face racism, hatred against women, the LGBTQ and everyone who is not caucasian, not to mention the whole gun business. You guys have lost any appeal whatsoever no matter how hard you crow about how great your country is. Everyone knows the truth about your history and the politically driven obsession to cover it up by attacking everything from books and what can be taught in schools. Just enough.

I love your videos… you are a great guy. I share all the sentiments here. I concur….it’s a big fat NO! But I love my American friends. I feel sorry for them. America is going down the toilet!

Great news guys they also legalized the Kirpan in Australian schools just last week ?, your welcome Hindustanis ? \n\nQueensland’s court of appeal found a Sikh person carrying a kirpan would be legal because it was for religious observance. Kamaljit Kaur Athwal had challenged the ban.

We have our share of creeps in Canada. There was the mo trial massacre of a couple dozen women at the polytechnics University. It happened in December a few decades ago. Some guy opened fire on women just because they were women and he was mad that females got training and he did not. December 6, 1989. Murdered 14 women injured 13. Mind you there's little pockets of that shit everywhere. Just don't step in it. Overall, we are kind of oblivious until it happens to us. But no, I would never want to live in the states long term unless there were great health benefits .

I'm Canadian and worked in Dertoit for almost 10 years, I crossed the border daily working for GM. I've also done work in Louisiana, Indiana and all around Michigan. \nAmerica has some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. It's a beautiful country and has a ton to offer anyone with an ounce of drive. The variety you have in your economy is amazing, we don't have a lot of choice when we buy stuff, you guys have so much more to choose from, take restaurants for example, I've never seen so many chain restaurants in one place, we have a handful of them. \nFrom what I've seen, there's also a lot of poverty, crime and violence, but that's literally everywhere right now, even here in Canada, we don't prosecute violent crime anymore. The gun issue is probably the biggest problem...I always felt extremely vulnerable out in public, especially driving, because I assumed everyone had a gun on them, I seen so many random guns on people, it just blew my mind. I always had to keep in mind when I was driving not to road-rage...That's how you get shot. The health care industry in America is nothing but a business model designed to bankrupt people. Our system isn't great at all...nothing to boast about. If you have to visit the ER at any hospital, you'd better bring food and water, you'll be there at least 8 hours before you're even seen by a doctor. Our health care is free yes, but we're taxed to death here because of it. I do indeed wish we had a 2-teir health care system, I want the option to pay to get seen soonest. America and Canada have free(ish) speech. We're both being ruled by leftist loonies, but that's all changing in our next respective election cycles. Biden and Trudeau will be shown the door and we can hopefully get back to healthy debate and more conversation in society...Instead of automatically dismissing each other, vitriolic badgering one another and hating each other. We had unity for a brief time, we all saw it, after 9/11 happened. We put our petty crap aside and saw each other as brothers and sisters. That didn't last very long and we've been in a constant state of crisis ever since. The media has driven a huge nail right through society, and takes a blow at every single issue we face, making it Left vs Right...\nIt's unfortunate to say, but it's going to take something truly devastating, possibly on a biblical scale, for us to come together again.

This guy is such a tool. Like we have any control over refugees coming to Canada. He's a great gas lighter with 0 integrity.

All I can say as a Canadian is why would anyone want to move to the USA.The more I learn the more I love where I live the USA is a hot mess and watching the kind of people that you elect is mind boggling . Why would anyone support a bottom feeder like Donald Trump to run their country. You don't have to be a scholar to realize this man is beyond corrupt and a really bad person. Who in the world other than a 12 year old, makes up names for people and whine all the time just watching this man perform is an eye opener and as a Canadian I'm embarrassed for Americans. This man is taken a once great country and making it a laughingstock. This man should be pushed aside and find someone better to represent the Republicans . If this is the best you got you guys are in trouble.

Guys great job I appreciate ur effort. \nBut if u make short video around 15 to 25 minutes then you guys definitely get much more view than this number.

I don't live in the mountains, but I don't deny they are there. Small towns are safe you say.....until easily accessed guns are used to kill so many kids, like in Uvalde . So lets not include THAT small town then. As for the batshit crazy comment, are you kidding that you don't see it. The entire world sees it and comments on it. I have 6 kids, and not one cost me a cent when they were born. Don't get me wrong, I have been down through the usa many times, and met great people. Last year I was in Livingston Texas, at a gas station, and a guy beside me was carrying a handgun out in the open, filling his car while smoking.....I was not about to confront him, and just stopped getting gas and left. So ya...that's not normal in my world, or 95% of the civilized world. So, for the love of god, stop trying to convince the world that the US is the greatest country on earth. Every time I hear that I cringe. I love your channel Tyler, and I don't aim my comments at you personally. One of my boys I named Tyler. He is 30, so sorry he was not named after you.

Wow..I am really sorry for you and what your country has done to you. You seem like a great guy...but when you started talking about the guy who was afraid his kids won't get shot in school and your take was flippant as if now in the US, the number shot is important, I felt pity for your society.

There are places in the States that I love to visit (although not right now, because I've never had a passport). I used to be in a drum corp, and we did a lot of parades and field shows down there in New York State and Pennsylvania, and had a great time. But I would never move there. I probably couldn't afford health care there anyway. My niece married a lovely guy from Maine, and he was planning on moving up here, but for unexpected family reasons, they ended up staying there. But he is increasingly worried about the political climate.

i moved to san francisco from british columbia in 1974-75. i lived in the marina district right by the water. i left my vette unlocked with the windows down, cassettes, ash tray full of change. no problem. broke my heart when i had to move back to canada. you couldn't pay me to live anywhere down there now. you are a great guy and would love to have you come here.

Teeth and tan!! You guys are great. I wish I had found your channel before moving here but I still enjoy it. Thank you.

Great to see the ugly united states of Satan destroyed this way! Keep up the good work guys!!

I don't understand all this punjabi and Indian people. Man you are so strong community not only in Canada that you guys cannot make India great that international students come to India to study. You exploit your children for who and doing bunch of scams to your own community.

Because Mexico sucks !!! I don’t blame them .. I’d rather die trying then live in poverty and crime .. unless your working on USA side and take money to Mexico or your a drug dealer .. life ain’t great .. that’s why girls are getting married at 12-13 years old so some old guy can take care of them.. that’s if you don’t die or get robbed trying to get an education that you pay for … but can’t afford if your poor..

Great to see you guys! ❤❤

Great reporting CNN. As always, we can count on you to give A great descriptive narrative to the pictures we see on the screen…. kinda like when I read Dr. Seuss books out loud to my little nephews. Do you guys ever do any investigative journalism?

You are a great guy, Igor.\nWatching you here from Nigeria

Soooo all you that voted for this guy Biden... This is wha we gotta go threw!! Great! Thanks!!

Big guy is doing a great job with our borders. Better then the orange man.

This was great. I was hoping u guys were gonna collab with Jimmy Rees though. ?

This isn’t even about border control at this point do some crisis management this a great training exercise for this sort of thing cmon guys

Wait a minute. I thought you guys told us that socialism was such a great system. Then may I ask? Why are sooooo many people fleeing it.?

Understand their home guys.. they’re trapped and victims everywhere they go if they don’t have money and or a well known family. Look at their government, controlled by men with guns that they can really whenever they want wipe those guys out. If they’re homeless here they’ll learn a lesson, and they’ll die like the rest of the people on the streets.. I’m sorry it’s harsh but it’s the truth. we cant stop someone’s life? A person is put on earth by hot and god says ‘be free but love’ who tf is this bitch ass nigga in the blue suit telling me ‘yea you are part of the reason earth keeps spinning but like you can’t go here and you have to do this, and if you don’t you’ll die?’. Insanity, who we should be fucking attacking is our own government, look up the criminal record behind our people in office. But you’ll sit here in this video and watch these innocent kids cry and say they don’t deserve to come here because we got lazy fucks w no passion in this ‘great America’ headass country. Please. And im gon leave it at that, cause god gon do it best. ???‍?

Thank you so much guys for the love on this video ?❤ I hope anyone trying to make a decision to move right now makes one that suits their long term goals.\n\nIn whichever country you find yourself, you are guaranteed a great life. Making use of the opportunity is the most important thing. ?❤

It’s not rust great up here trust me. With so many people, why don’t they create a new society? They think the way to prosper is to be in America. Trust me, all they do is take advantage of you up here. You guys can create a new society that’s better than America

You guys have amazing content and very helpful content library that truly boots immigrants confident to migrate Canada. I am coming from Advertising background and it would be great, if you could help in recommending any good recruitment agencies for this industry.

Hi there gal we don’t say guys, it’s sexist!\n\n \n\nInteresting take on your move to the great white north.\n\nI can imagine coming from Russia to Canada was a shock.\n\nYou have pointed out so many things that are so normal in the west.\n\nAs I have never lived in Russia, I have no idea what it must be like there.\n\nJudging by your reaction to your observations of Canada Russia must be so\n\nmuch easier place to live..?\n\nYour comments on homeless, work-market, tax system etc. gives me the impression that\n\nthe Russian system must be so much better…?\n\nFrom my experience from living in numerous western countries, I regard Canada as average.\n\nThe UK and the USA are awful places to live. Although this is not the case if you have money, same as anywhere else. The same can be said if you are poor life is an awful struggle.\n\nWell except in Russia…?\n\n \n\nI have stayed in Canada on numerous occasions and I have never experienced any real cultural clashes.\n\nWell some of the newer Canadians seem to think that if anything goes against them it’s discrimination. Moreover, some of the newer Canadians are very racist towards the more established immigrants i.e. who have been living there for more generations.\n\nThe fact that some companies have “white” non-immigrant boards is reflection on the competence factor. I have experienced companies that have employed new Canadians with non-western backgrounds that are totally disasters because they have no idea about the work culture, language, way of treating staff etc.\n\nI think that you YT page is like a lesson about how immigrants from non-western countries perceive and misinterpret the west’s work culture, society and culture.\nHave experienced some new immigrant bosses who are so elitist and discriminating i resigned. Wrote review about the company on LINKEDIN.\n\n\nDon’t expect that there is any discrimination in Russia…?

Go go go USA is great biden will feed you guys go go go

Great video guys even though i disagree with your winner

This is exactly the type of honest breakdown that want not just those fake oh this is perfect you got to be here guys come here there are so many opportunities you make good money everything is cheap, bla, bla, bla. I just got subscribed and heading to see the Canada videos since I'm doing my researches to get there any soon, keep doing this great job and greetings from the Dominican Republic.

Sir great respect and hats off for you . Still remember your drama Dhuwan . You were and still handsome . I watched that drama as a teen ager just for you and we talked about you how a new handsome guy is a hero .People can differentiate between truth and a lie . You are lucky you living a peaceful life in Canada . ❤️

Great video, and 100% true. More than anything my frustration is with hiring and for some reason why people think we are completely dumb !! Having said that I will give it some more time as I have only been here for 4 years. For most of you coming for Europe this maybe a mediocre experience, coming from my country in the state it’s in Canada is still miles ahead. I just wish people were more upfront like you guys, great example for myself is the fact that I worked for a multinational which is fully operational in Canada, they have spent thousands of dollars on my training when I worked for them but their not even open to having a chat with me to hire for a job that was 2 levels below me when I was working in Asia. Anyway as you say “it is what is it” \n\nOn multiculturalism as much as they hire you for a diversity photo on the annual report they hate it, and I have travelled to many places in my life, the only place in Canada that I feel is proper Canada is Montreal.. Ontario just makes you feel like you haven’t even moved, homeless and potheads all over the place. \n\nKudos to you guys.. great video

Have you guys tried any restaurants in the US that’s not a chain restaurant? That seems like all you mentioned. Next time you in DMV, go to Georgetown and eat, or Penn quarters, or 16th street and try great restaurants. Expand your palate. Preached mentioned two cities to say US women are hard. You have to experience more than just NYC and Miami. C’mon dude?

I've lived In the US all my life. I was fortunate to come across my amazing wife who lives In Vancouver, BC. I was able to travel to Vancouver a lot since 2007 and I love the city. It's very beautiful, the people are decent, the houses are nice (yet expensive) and overall I like it up there. And you can't beat the free healthcare up there. I'm going to be moving from Chicago to Vancouver, BC in about a year cause my wife has had some medical issues and coming to the states won't work financially since she has medical issues already. I'm nervous yet excited. It's not that diverse when It comes to black people but I can get along with anybody. And I'm not worried about anybody messing with me unless they want a real ChiTown ass whooping lol. Thanks for the video guys. You guys are hilarious. Keep up the great work aight.

To be fair Tap water is better because you guys have the great lakes and artic ice melt

I LOVED this video! I was laughing about 90% of the time ? I watch all your videos, I love them all but it was refreshing to hear you guys talk about other topics besides pop culture / reactions. Great vid ??

Great video guys I really enjoyed it. I wish I knew how many different towns you guys have really tested the tap water up there, because in the US the tap water changes drastically depending on where you go, in California they import a lot of their water so it travels a long way from the source, and it has to be treated, usually with chemicals, to keep it safe to drink. But there are many places where you can get better tasting water if its somewhere that doesnt import, and doesnt have heavy treatment for the water. Even in california it can chance from town to town, I know I lived in Dublin, CA for a while and they have such fresh tasting water but if you go just a couple towns over it taste nasty again. Also apartments are notorious for having worse tasting water cause it has to go through all sorts of plumbing to get up to your floor and that can effect it. Anyways Thanks guys, peace

Sorry for the words I came as immigrant from F*cking Land . BUT Canada Gives me ALOT of GOOD things and more Believe me Guys Canada is GREAT country any how video is excellent

you guys are great but very naive.

You guys are great..I had to subscribe!! Keep up with this amazing job.

Great Work! \nBut you guys should investigate the latest scam that is happening in India and Canada i.e. LMIA \nSome people in India are paying 80,000 CAD for Permanent Residence \nYou guys should do a thorough investigation \nI came to Canada as an international student \nDid a master’s degree and even though I’m still struggling to find a suitable job for PR \nAnd those who don’t how to speak English are coming to Canada with Permanent Residence \nSo how is it fair to all the students who are working so hard and so determined \nI want you guys to expose these scams \nAnd create an awareness

flexible and open-mind,I like this video so much,It encourages me to continue my efforts to immigrate to Canada,thanks to both of you,You guys are so great.

Great content! Thanks guys, I love your channel!

Great work you guys ?? thank you

Truly an eye opener for everyone and an exceptional video documentary by the Fifth team. You guys are amazing and have done a great job

Yes, 1.3 BILLION can now apply to Canada, money is growing on our trees, you will make so much money you will need a truck to carry it home every day. Our roads are paved in gold. You can walk into any vacant house and claim it to be yours. CANADIANS love Indian guys they are so handsome, muscular,speak perfect English, dress and smell great. Luv how they cut their hair. Good luck.

You guys nailed it! Great job. Thanks
