Agee with lots you said,the comparison from say 1970,up can be disheartening,but younger ones think now is the norm,until they take note of those changes,which isn,t very likely in a virtual reality world

Where ever you are you will be happy if you consider it your home\n Home is sweet if you feel it as your own.\n10 points you dislike in Canada\n How it would be when there isn't freedom at all in some countries such as middle East and China!

I think young Canadian's should give up the hope that Trudeau isn't a moron.

Indian are usually sarcastically racist but if you are visiting India they will treat you like you are really special. They have a saying for this, they treat their guests pretty well. You might get some looks but Indians will never treat you like this Karen. Also isn't 1 in 5 doctors in USA an Indian, americans will have a health crisis if all these people decided to move back.

So you girls mention Europeans, asians, Latino and Russia not sure why Russia isn’t part of Europe but that’s beside that the point but you forgot I to mention in your idiotic opinion Africana and Caribbean communities as they are large prt of what makes Canada, Canada. Maybe it is lack of knowledge or it was something more ?.

Keanu reeves isn't Canadian he was born in Lebanon but he did grow up in Canada so he would have a citizenship but not Canadian genetics

#1 reason I would leave and I’m a Canadian is Trudeau. He’s a jerk. Canada was so much better without this asshole. I live in Toronto. Lucky enough to buy a house downtown in 1995 and we have good jobs. So $ isn’t a factor like for other people. But the liberals are ruining this beautiful country.

I agree with the list except for Quebec. As an ex-Quebecer, I would rate that shit hole the worst place to live. They discriminate against everyone who isn't French. Also, they have the highest tax rate in Canada. Plus French is a language that doesn't make any sense. Why have gender for objects?

Having grown up in Manitoba, with it's 6 months of brutal winter and two weeks of summer and mosquitos bigger than sparrows, I moved to Canada's Hot Spot, the South Okanagan valley. We have one cold month ( that isn't very cold ) a few temperate months, and about 6+ months of Glorious Summer. The scenery is world class beautiful, everywhere you look is a picture postcard pretty setting, but I really came here for the climate. Screw being cold.

Dadi is calm. Everyone isn't like dadi. We should learn from dadi.

Saskatchewan here. The crime rate thing is really overblown. I've lived here for 47 of 49 years (2 in Calgary) and never been the victim of ANY crime in any Sask city I've lived in. Yep, it's cold in winter and hot as hell in summer, but like you said, cheap to live and we get paid well. There also isn't any such thing as an hour commute, unless you live at the lake. You also are missing about 2/3 of the province that is covered in lakes and forest if all you focus on is the areas around Regina and Saskatoon. There's a reason the campgrounds here are full of Albertans and every other province in the summer...

I imagine that many of the illegals that came into America without any problem due to Biden's policies are going to realize that they made a mistake as well. Everything is more expensive than ever, food shortages, and America sucks now that the people like the people that work at VICE News ruined it. Looks like your gerrymandering with illegals isn't gonna work out so smoothly. Trust me.

So.... The #1 province in Canada is also the one province that threatened to leave Canada on how many occassions?? Referendum in 1980, another in 1995, and..also one in 1919...when they first wanted to separate. The Quebec gov't treats Anglos that live there like 2nd class citizens and pass out language fines if French isn't displayed 2x as large on storefront signs...English family speaking kids cannot attend public schools in English, all are taught in French. There are only 3 english speaking higher education schools out of 17 universities and over 70 colleges.\nImmigrants have 6 months to learn French in that province, after that, correspondence with the gov't is all in French.\nAhh...Plus...\nHow many political and social organizations are there in this province that actually PROMOTE the separation and outright superiority of Quebec over the rest of Canada? \n\nFrench supremacist much??\n\n?\nRiiiiiiighttttt....

Dude you make great videos but it seriously bugs that you say your t’s like d’s. I’ve heard plenty of others do this same talk. Not sure where it’s from but a mountain isn’t a mouddun and mittens aren’t middens. Dude it makes me cringe

Isn't it because of climate ?? Cold climate regions have to be indoors to survive....Tropical countries don't have that issue.

If this is true, this isn't Islamic behaviour so I'm not for it at all rather against it.

It’s almost like a skit from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, except that this is no spoof and it isn’t funny. Kind of scary when you think of it actually.

It just depends! This isn't totally accurate!

It's happening in nations like India too, just that we're way more populated than US. However, you could be alone in a crowd! I'd like to come to US again because hard work isn't too appreciated here. Plus, I'm depressed. Last time I was depressed 18 years back, coming to US healed me. So yeah, I'd try my best for Canada/US.

Yes but isn't it all about You will Own nothing and You Will Be Happy? ?

???. thanks for the information sharing here. I was shocked ?. hmm it makes me aware I should not put expectation and migrate to western country. ?. we Asia are friendly and love harmony lifestyles. look like western isn't anymore my choice.

The biggest curse in a man’s life to leave his country behind to chase empty dreams \nWhat shines isn’t most of the times gold \nGuys dont do it I wasn’t listening when I was young \nIt’s kind of irreversible the longer you stay abroad away from your country the harder it gets to ever return back\nYou get inevitably homesick to the bone and loneliness prevails \nOn top of that and mostly important is that having a family in western societies is like jumping from a roof top excepting to come out in one piece, there’s always a chance but the odds are against you by far \nExcellent content

That's true everywhere. Isn't it?

Building more houses isn't the solution. The investors, the rich and privileged worldwide and major corporations are eating up the inventory of houses. This causes low supply and high prices. Of course he says build more houses, more tax money. Shame on him.

Conservatives are all about free enterprise. Isn't this free enterprise ? Doug Ford removed rent control on all new rental unit's as of Nov 2018 , increasing demand when there is a shortage of housing. Not too bright.

isn't it too cold to sit and relax outside? lol

Isn't it the same story nearly everywhere? I've the same mental experience living in an Indian city. Living away from your family because you have to make a living is a double edged sword. You have to earn to live and also bear with loneliness. It is a gas chamber. Combine that with unsympathetic people around you, some of whom are pure evil and your nightmare is complete.

I lived in the country and live in NYC and I think suburbs are the most alienating. I lived there for a year and there is nothing to do, and your yard isn’t big enough to be real nature or provide privacy, but the population isn’t high enough to get foot traffic or anything interesting to look at

This is something I never thought about. I actually get anxiety walking outside and hoping my neighbors don’t talk to me lol. Obviously this isn’t normal. When I was a kid we all played outside and now I only see people walking their dogs. Weird society we are raised in.

This is the price you pay when you decided to live in the western world .it isn't free.

Silence is also violence? \nIt isn't actually. LOL.\n\nIt's literally silence... If that is violence, literally everything is violence...? No...?

Great video ? Well Said dear brother ? unfortunately some of us Africans don't see life beyond money particularly of Nigerians. \n\nSecond. They're head dipped into western propaganda and slave mentality. They don't listen no matter what you tell them.\n\nThat's their problem but I get really offended when they advise me from Africa that America is good for me after living here 25 years. I really get nasty with them when they try to discourage me from moving back home to Nigeria. \n\nAt this point in my life, I just need peace, serenity, friendship and human touch. The West isn't a natural habitat for humans.

Looks like this program isn't offered for British Columbia.

Okay ik Manitoba isn't great, but I didn't think it would be 10th lol... but like I can't even defend it at this point?

My Dude, you're seriously underestimating what qualifies best or worst....NWT is/are majestic and really deserve more than an honorable mention. SAD isn't as much an issues in NL than it is in AB/SK/Territories. Each province is so special, you didn't do them justice

hi there, boring Canadian here lol I found your take on Canada from an immigrant from an immigrant point of view interesting and informative. particularly your take on Canadians as indirect rather than polite and also as a history buff I have long wondered if your country's very late exist from the serfdum system contributed to the continuing acceptance and swing from swing from a far left then to the far right system authoritarian. this question isn't meant as any type of personal criticism and definitely predates most resent current events. also is your tshirt a pun or strictly in reference to the yummy but unhealthy treat lol

I will fit in here personally.I'm an introvert and this culture of going to friends, neighbors to gist isn't me.When I'm not working you won't see me outside.I'm used to their lifestyle.

Just a note, if you’re going to these provinces for any reason, try to stay in the bigger areas as much as possible if you’re any kind of minority. As someone who has lived in small towns in Ontario (one of the better provinces for bigotry, which isn’t saying much) it’s still pretty fucking bad

I don't blame him, Canada is obviously a lot better place to raise a family than the USA, but to try and claim asylum coming from the USA isn't likely to succeed.

To be racist is to lack empathy towards fellow human beings and lack remorse for abusive actions.\nLack of empathy and remorse are a key traits of psychopaths/ sociopaths. \nTherefore Racist are psychopaths or Sociopaths. (A threat to society)\n\nRacism isn’t limited to just White ppl. Any person can be racist.\n\nWe all have to check ourselves and make sure we treat everyone the way we would like to be treated.\nOur goal should be to eradicate Racism. I truly believe we can do it in the 21 Century.

I love Quebec also but like any province it has its flaws, we are governed by 2 gouvernements who hate each other so both fight about everything,we pay taxes to both these governments, the only way you can attend or send your children to English school is if you were born here(canada) and someone in your family went to english school, so if you are french or an immigrant you have no choice in the matter you are going to french school, we were voted the most corrupt province a few years back, you can do anything you want though….as long as you paid for your permit to do it, wanna ride the trails on your atv 300$, wanna ride a motorcycle anywhere between 600$(for a cruiser) to 1700$(sportbike), growing cannabis is illegal unless you buy a 600$ permit then its ok. But even with all its flaws its still an amazing place AND we have maple syrup ? oh but if you make some don’t forget permission from the Federation to sell it cause they can impose massive fines all the way up to seizing you farm. But really its not all that bad…. Crap gotta go it’s curfew time don’t wanna get a 1600$ fine for being out past 8. \n\np.s our Poutine isn’t the one starting a war

This isn’t even in America ya RACIST dingus !! Why just because she’s white and racist she’s american? Yup you’re racist lol

Drake? That isn't really something to boast aboot.

Isn't it is a good thing to band wine i love shariya law from Saudi arabia

My experience about Canada after living here for a few years now: \n1): Healthcare: There are two sides of it. If you need a specialist, forget about it, just live with your disease or problems and hope it will cure itself and won’t get worse. If you are in a life threatening condition and need a surgery, you’ll get it and the medical bill won’t scare you. I needed a dermatologist, never got one, eventually had to fly to the US for a simple treatment. \n2): Taxes: You’ll pay extra to take care of the large aging population of Canada and to maintain the infrastructure in the extreme cold weather. But, you can make a good use of your RRSP and TFSA accounts, and you can also buy American stocks without paying taxes. \n3): Travel and transportation: Forget about public transportation methods like buses and trains. You’re on your own. But a vehicle ownership isn’t very hard here. \n4): Social networking: Good luck with that. Good luck finding friends here or being a part of a friends group. Canadians are polite but not outgoing and extrovert. Most people make a few friends in Schools and College. You’re not going to see people of different races and origin hanging out with each other. \n5): Real estate: Population is growing, population is aging, it’s all happening but what’s not many houses are getting built. Buying your own house isn’t easy. If you’ve bought one, good luck with the energy prices. \n5): Landscape: It’s gorgeous out here, if you want to be happy in Canada, go out for sightseeing.\n6): Jobs: Totally depends in which jobs you can fit in and what previous experience you have. If you have previously done exactly what the job profile is asking for, for sure you can find a job.\n\nIn the end I would say, I have lived in many places, each come with their downsides, you have to see what works for you. There’s isn’t a perfect world really there isn’t. You have to take the bad with the good.

England isn't a muslim country but a christian , catholic country. Everyone has the right to believe what they want ,but don't force your beliefs on others . I follow British law ,not some law from another culture that doesn't belong here . If anyone tells me not to go somewhere in public , what My wife can wear , or tell me not to drink ,well they can go fuck themselves, and I'll carry on . this is my country and I wont be listening to any law other than british law which is the law of the land . you can have whatever religion you want ,but you still need to follow british law .

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

Haven’t watched this video yet, but I swear if Alberta isn’t bottom 3 I’m losing it. I’m from that hell hole so I have the right to shit talk it

Great advice. I just applied for a working visa for Canada (from Ireland). My dream is to live in Montreal but my French isn’t fluent yet (at best it’s “intermediate”) but I’m working with a tutor and plan to sit CELF exams in June. My degree is in marketing but I’m tempted to work in customer service and built up my french that way. Part of me just wants to focus on marketing so basically Toronto.

I came to Canada with a US college degree and I later earned a Canadian university degree. I speak both languages fluently. Can't find a good job with a worthy salary and perks. Canadian mediocrity and passive aggressive racism got in my way. I can't wait to get citizenship and leave this place. Canada isn't nicer than America. Passive aggressive Canadian racism is just as bad as overt American racism.
