In the States I'd say the segregation is way less in smaller towns. At least for the south. It's more class segregation. Also in small town Texas, there's no need to lock your doors almost 100% of the time. I've been doing it the last 30 years or so as has my family before me.

As someone who has been around the country and to both coasts, I'd say I'm happy to exist in the Midwest. Very 'normal' here compared to the West Coast and not as angry all the time like the East Coast. Midwest has its problems though like anywhere else haha

WHen my daughter was born in Toronto, Ontario, with a few complications, emergency C-Section, 4 days in hospital... in the US it would have been $100 000. I'm a independent contractor, I don't have insurance . I'd have been financially ruined. \nInstead I paid $20 per day in parking. Maybe another $40 in the food court\nThat's worth every tax dollar I've ever contributed frankly

Why’d u guys delete it the first time ?

1. Aba’s right. I have family in Columbus, OH. Ain’t much to do up there. Sorry if you’re from there lol\n\n2. Correct about all of the fast food here in the U.S. Can’t stand it. That’s why if I DO go out to eat, it’s at the healthy options. Chipotle, Sweetgreen, Cava, etc.\n\n3. I was in Toronto a few years ago during a layover. I want to know why most of the employees I encountered at the airport were mean/rude af ? I know this is anecdotal so I’m not going to take it seriously. It’s just what I vividly remember.\n\n4. I live in the DMV. It’s a very diverse area but there’s a lot of neighborhoods that are segregated but I’d argue that it’s more of an economic issue. It’s visibly noticeable as soon as you hop on the metro. Start on the orange line on the VA side, the crowd is bright. But if you stay on long enough, go through DC and end in MD, it gets dark. I’ve lived here most of my life and it’s always been this way unfortunately.\n\n5. I need to go back to Canada to try that tap water. Y’all made it sound so good ?

While the cost of living is higher in the U.S., they do make more on average so I'm not sure I'd say Canada is significantly better in that regard. On that note though, it's probably better to be poor in Canada than in the U.S.

honestly, 99% of this is just because of the size of the city. Montreal is #20 in metro area population in North America, and there are 15 US cities which are higher population than Montreal. If you were to go to more comparable cities in the US, you'd find them much more comparable.

Regarding flight prices, you'd be right if you were talking a few years ago but there are budget airlines in Canada now. You can fly Toronto to Edmonton round trip for under $200.

I'd prefer to have affordable fruit (with tax included in the price tag, thank you very much) over the 60 different types of cereal aisle any day.

I'd move back fuck this liberal ran country ???

I'd rather live in a country where I have the 2A and the right to defend myself. Also, how do you have a hard time getting good food in the states. Y'all are nuts. There are plenty of spots. Just clean your eyes. lol ? love your content \n✌️????

Living in the city of Vienna for me, in an already safe country-with everything else that’s an advantage-I have never seen myself moving to the US: kindergarten, School, University and Healthcare is part of the national budget. The poor are housed, high minimum wage, mandated and protected leave, 14 full checks a year, very little homelessness and crime, tap water is literal spring water extracted straight form the mountains, food is so pure and organic I never gain weight, I don’t know why I’d ever leave Austria.

I'd never live in Canada lol nothing appeals about it.

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.

Honestly If it wasn't due to the fact that I hate cold weather I'd be in Canada ages ago.

The whole thing about Trudeau doing black face then getting re-elected is the funniest thing to me. That'd be an absolute death sentence in the states.

I ain't American but safety is overrated. I'd choose freedom any day. \nAre unvaccinated people allowed to travel in Canada yet. \nI always wanted to visit Canada. Until pretty boy blackface gets voted out I will keep my tourist money.

The best part of America isn't the cities, although I'd guess that's the same about Canada. The only part of Canada I've been to is British Columbia above Glacier National Park and it was lovely. The best cities in America weren't mentioned: San Diego, Boise, Pittsburg, Salt Lake, Austin, etc.

As someone who lived in every continent except for Africa, I'd never go back to the U.S.A except if I got like a 200k+ salary in NYC or Chicago. Hell, I'd rather move to Mexico again cus of the culture and lifestyle. But Montreal is definitely the only city in Canada where I'd evne consider staying, but it's as always depedant of the salary (Vancouver but only downtown would also be an option).

Preach is right about the food, I hardly eat out because all the food here is crap. I'd rather cook myself good nutritious food, when I do, theirs a handful of places I go

Currently working in mobile Alabama......it'd trashhhh

7:30 Aba, I didn't know you go to New Orleans some what frequently! I live in Baton Rouge. If you come down, I'd love to meet you guys!

You left US for Canada.. That's too cliched, not watched, don't care, unsub'd

This might just be me. But no way I'm moving to a country where you can't use a firearm to defend yourself or your property. Also I'm not getting the klot shot. I'd rather die. Shout outs to my fellow purebloods!

Ain't no way I'd live in Canada hope it works out for you love the channel

I’m sure the commentator here feels very self-righteous in repeatedly calling this lady a racist. Virtue signaling makes him feel good about himself. Let him go to India and see how Indians treat each other first, especially those with darker skin or those from the Northeast. Let him see how Indians all but worship the fair skinned. Let him see how they treat those from putatively lower castes. Let him see how they’d move en masse to the West to live the good life if only they could afford to do so. ?

Hi! I'd like to invite my future mother brother and sister in law for our wedding this summer, do I create an account using my email or their email? Thank you!!!

Why did the lady have her phone inside??? Or filming. She should thank her stars this was the Indian Embassy not the US consolate. Else she'd be lying in some prison

The subtle racism you talk about can’t be that bad because these people are still willing to leave their own countries to flock to North America. Their own government and people don’t give a shit about so they come to North America and bitch about the racism. As far as homeless goes this people are there because they want to be, the government gives them an incredible amount of support to get back on there feet but they’re lazy and you know it, stop making excuses for them. These fucking immigrants come here and exploit all the benefits that the country offers. Let’s face it they don’t give a shit our society. I wish this country was even colder in climate so they’d leave

I would still take our medical system over the American system without a second thought. Though I would be in favour of a parallel paid tier that's integrated with the public tier so that the public tier benefits from the profits and investments.\nRegarding financial technology, the perspective here is slightly short sighted, although to some degree, I agree. Compared to the US we have had debit (Interac) at retail point of sale since the late '80s/early '90s, and email money transfers (Interac eTransfer) since the late '90s/early '00s, long before the US had anything comparable such as PayPal, and apps like CashApp or Venmo effectively have no marketshare in Canada because of the long history of having email money transfers.\nLastly, for the cell phone plans, you are 100% correct, though we still don't have true unlimited, and only on plans including 5G service. However, there are some mitigating factors such as the high ratings of the network quality and stability for all major cell carriers despite wide swaths of our geography having little to no population and rugged topography. It's not an easy country to cover properly or reliably without it being expensive. Though Canadian telecom and cableco profits are through the roof, as are those of the big 5 banks. We definitely need more competition, though I'm not sure foreign companies coming in are the way to go with this.\nAlso, technologically speaking many important technological and scientific R&D is being conducted here and innovations are made here all the time, but in many ways, these companies get traction outside of Canada long before they get traction here.

Thank you so much for such helpful info!!\n\nI see you didn't talk about the medical insurance. It's my understanding that the medical insurance will be needed when entering the country. However, I've seen people saying that it should be purchased at front, before submitting the application. Is that mandatory? I'd rather wait for the approval before purchasing anything like it. I don't want to make such an investment without knowing the offciers response.

Hi, is it mandatory to provide Flights ticket fr visa purpose.. I m not sure of d date of my visit.. kindly guide..

I wish I'd watched your video before we moved to Canada. Thank you for pointing out so many pertinent issues! We have been in Ontario for over 4 years and we have not found a family doctor yet! One of the greatest issues in Canada right now is the complete disregard for Constitutional rights, especially where medical choices are concerned.

I was living in Canada for 20 yerz finally Canada justice ? my family in to part's family court break d my family. Finally got to this Left Canada for ever.now iam in Dubai and very happy Life. And also in CA high school ? student All of them drugs addicted.and govt isn't doing na think ? which is very sad

Interesting. Traveling through Europe, Canadians are considered Americans. The continent of America. So when I'd say I'm not American I'm canadian, they would look at me like ...ooookkkk?. \nIt would be like me saying, I'm not European I'm German or something.

Omfg! This sad saddest world is Africanada already & hate these racist frickans! I'd rather live with Pakistani than this gutter trash!

If I'd ever be to move to canada it'd either be British Colombia Ontario or Saskatchewan\nThey all have cites (Toronto Ottawa, Vancouver Victoria, Regina saskatoon) which look like good places to live but that's just an assumption

If I were to move to Canada, I’d move to BC or Alberta.

I'd stay put. None of them affordable to me. And one issue concerning me is safety. The US rn to me isn't worth it

Albertaaaaaa :D

Might want to check out Trailguide Pictures 'People are fleeing Canada' video. If it's so great in Canada why are so many getting out? Don't get me wrong, Canada is a beautiful country but be careful of wearing rose coloured glasses and thinking the grass is greener. It seems the real reason is to use it as a stepping stone to work in the US. Whatever you do, I wish you luck! btw my partner has worked FIFO all around Australia from Tasmania in the mining and construction industry for around 20 years. Not for everyone, but we get to live on a beautiful island, have our own farm, get heaps of frequent flyer points so get free overseas trips. We've made it work for us. Our Canadian friends said they'd move to Tasmania in a heartbeat if they could!

Nous sommes les meilleurs, tout à fait d'accord

Before finishing the video, as a British Columbian, I’m making a guess that it will be kind of high on the list because of the terrain but brought down by the cost of things especially in Vancouver.\n\n\nEdit: damn I was right, now It looks like I lied, I promise I didn’t, it was a guess.\n\nEdit 2: yeah, you have a perfect description of Vancouver and Victoria ?\n\nEdit 3: I’d like to add that Alberta is considered the Texas of Canada to many of us lol

I'd give it a try and move there, but being Mexican makes it a real achievement to actually find a real way to do so...

Clearly this man isn't from Canada or he'd pronounce our names correctly.

There's a housing crisis Everywhere for renters coming into the market and first time home buyers. They needs to be more co-ops. I know of huge amounts of seniors living alone that have no place to go and choose to stay in their big homes because there's no other option for them, and if there was they'd prob refuse to go anyway. My mother is one she's 88. We've been trying for 2+yrs. Anything that suddenly opens up she refuses. Lives in a small city in southern BC. More Co-op's are needed.

i'd rather be a homeless canadian than a citizen in iran?

Quebec is cool, but the mountains are pathetic. I've been out west alot and the topography is way better. Mountains AND lakes... I'd move out if i wasn't tied down by my faamily... couldn't just abandon my parents like that..
