ok, i've got a deal for you. you come down to the states, Kansas and surrounding area, specifically. I'll show you some spots where you can find tons of real food. REAL food. Also, we have well water here. doesn't taste like the city water. you get good clean water where I'm from. Then, you show me around where the good food is in Canada. We can learn from each other. There are some gooooooood spots out here. I wanna see what you have. I'm not trying to call anyone out. I just want to explore the stuff out there. Never been to montreal.

Is Alaska like U.S. Canada?

How are the taxes like in Canada? Here in California the tax is SUPER high. They take like 40% out your pay check it’s highway robbery!

sAs someone who has experienced living in both America and Canada. One thing I think Aba and Preach forgot to mention is the cost of produce. In Canada and more specifically Montreal the cost of Produce is higher than anywhere else in north America (From my limited experience). A Block of cheese costs a tank of gas. I have lived in a few places around the world and I have to say the cost of food for whatever reason is so much higher in Quebec. Items can easily be twice the price here.

One big L in Canada is that you can’t buy alcohol at a corner store or gas station. Ended up finding out you need to go to government certified liquor store to get any kind of booze.

The US's Public transport must be dog shit cause Canada's is ASS.

Also a con about Canada is our grocery store and our cellphone company....we pay alot more than our American neighbor when it comes to cellphone bills...also the grocery stores are owned by the same person so they are gauging prices . There's no competition...so they can set the prices at wtv they want...I agree that flight prices here are flipping ridiculous!!!!. Why is it costing me 600$ to fly from MTL to Toronto???...what alot of us Canadians Do is drive to an airport in the states and then fly cuz it's that much cheaper

Tha tap water thing has me shock damn that alone would make me wanna live in Canada. The tap water in New Mexico is not healthy.

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.

preach only went off of Florida and New York girls and thats it- I guess lmao. only going off thee most roughest States... like go to the south- not Atlanta, they're different but southern are so different. so thats why im like? cali too like no, go to the south like Texas, MAYBE Alabama, Mississippi , NORTH/SOUTH Carolina. but I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE that nyc women are rough... as a southern belle lmao I look at them like wild animals- sorry- like men. thats why I can be there for 3-5 says top, some of the stuff I agree with. but I do need to go to Canada.

Population of Canada -- 38 million. Population of US -- 332 million. Population of Canada's largest city 2.7 million population of US's largest city 8.4 million. More people, more problems.

I'm moving to Canada most likely. I like being in Canada a lot

Canada and Europe for sure you pay more taxes but you get soo much more for it. Gov covers you when you retire or want to have kids. Public transportation amazing college is free some spots in Europe pay you to go to college. Quality of life way better

So let me get this straight, when Trump was President and Americans wanted to move to Canada, y'all said they shouldn't and you gave reasons why, but it's ok for you motherfuckers do move to Canada?

Either way us is better than Canada hands down

I think it was a good comparison because you had relatable pros and cons. The tape water is correct 100%. I have only tasted good tap water in one town in the US. \n\nThe racial stuff is definitely something the US could learn a few things from with Canada. It appears to me its more cultural and economic differences rather than the US's skin based racism. but I don't live there so I could be wrong. \n\nOh the guns we got right though regardless I think its better to have them than not. \nThank you Aba & Preach!!

California has more people than Canada.

Id like to find a job in Canada, Toronto or Montreal, to experience the place, but Im scared of the cold.

I would never live in Canada. They’re so far gone with the hyper-progressive nonsense, the covid restrictions, arresting ppl for using the wrong words. Pfft, that country will never see me.

Canada is my dream country. I'm going to move there one day.

Yea my spidey senses have dulled since being in Canada

If you are very rich usa is better for you. If you are an average guy Canada is better.

You talk about cheese in America, where Canada pride themselves on poutine lol ?

Canada is so gay though.

Salam \nFor security job can I apply for Canada visa.i have best performance award already which I got from Dubai .but unfortunately the requirements for Canada visa is too much difficult.

Students are overcarged for their education, sham on U Canada

Canadian government also gives all our jobs away to refugees. When we have bosses that are real fuzzy over who they hire. And they dont believe in canadians doing their own jobs. Geez and that causes a lot of arguements with new comers cuz they dont understand we could of did that job. Plus they believe if they invite you to canada that you could vote for trudeau. Which no one likes. It's time for change and he gotta go. One bedrooms are close to 1200 to 1500. 2 bedrooms are at least a couple hundred more. Subsidy housing is all anyone can afford. Groceries are so expansion.

Is Canada really the best country in the world?\nThey say they want and need immigrants, but if Ontario doesn't like a person for any reason, they will put you in an immigration jail for up to two years.\nThat's scary. Sounds more like China. But it's Canada.

Immigrants are coming to Canada, only to find that the only affordable housing available is a tent, and the weather is below -20C for months on end. You either freeze to death, or you leave to find a place where you can afford the rent on what the local job market is offering to pay you.

I want to settle there ay Canada can u plz help

Good info guys , but what you present is just the tip of the iceberg and several decades past when the issues started. Brightest and most ambitious young people moved out of Canada before 2010.

ok I live in Canada in Quebec to be precise, I'm from Latin America originally but became a Canadian Citizen a few years ago. I'm not white, I can tell you that the examples that you chose to demonstrate silent or systemic racism are fallacies, that doesn't mean that there is no racism, there is racism in every country in the World. But to point out that because the leadership of mayor companies are mainly 'White', it's not prove of systemic racism, you didn't say anything for example of median age of the different populations, that is an important factor in economic advancement of a population and helps to explain why some groups may be more prevalent in higher paid jobs than others. For example, according to Statistics Canada and the latest census you can see that the black population is around 2% of the total population of the Country, but more over a huge chuck of that population is not only young, but recent immigrants from the last 30 years or so. Maybe you should read some Thomas Sowell to have a more broad perspective instead of 'denouncing' racism gratuitously

Bhai Mae bhi Canada aana chahta hu passport complet hai

yes, that is so true.. somebody told me that, that Canada is actually one those Mexican countries.. they had been hiding the truth since centuries

She lies!! Canada is the best country !

Well said, very true. I want to know if you are back in your home country or you are still in Canada with all the unpleasant things. No where cool, but if you can still leave in CA with all these then others can still do that. Thank you.

I was packing my stuff for Canada but I will visit first then I will decide

You said immigration has increased in Canada due to high cost of living and covid restriction. This is the opposite. the number of peoples who leave Canada are more than the number of immigrant! doesn't make any sense what you said at the beginning of your video.

You do realize that Canada exists OUTSIDE of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal - right?\nNot all prices are before tax.\nAs for mobile data, how many square kilometers is Canada compared to Germany, Sweden, France etc.? Alot more infrastructure is necessary - which costs money that needs to be recouped..\nHousing? look OUTSIDE of those polluting cesspools called cities.\nThis video is HIGHLY biased and location specific - come out to rural Canada and actually see the stars at night, hear your own thoughts AND see a doctor or nurse practitioner in no time at all.

Sir mujy b canada emigration family Visa chay es k lye muhy kia krna paey ga

Maybe you should think about where you live in Canada.

And there is one important fact that you missed in this documentary. It is Indian(racial) people taking advantage of these young India people like us not Canadians! The same immigrants who immigrated to Canada from India couple years ago are taking advantages of new people coming now. These private colleges are run by India nationals to make profit from recruiting people from Punjab. And India landlords taking advantages of new international India students and it is Indian (racial) employers who is taking advantage of international students to do more work!

You are very obvious about your hatred for Canada.

American taxes support the US military. Canadian taxes support our Universal Healthcare System. Canada wins on all counts !!!!!

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.

Don’t immigrate to Canada. It’s all true.

Hi I'm from Panama and here we are getting more and more visitors from Canada note that I don't say tourists that's because I noticed that they are like on a exploration mission asking prices for everything I guess they are looking for some sort of tropical paradise. There are a couple of things you must consider before going to Canada it's cold as hell even the warmest winter there in cold as hell if your from the tropics, work ethic is totally diferent a couple of minutes late to work is a no no,taking it easy no no, or relaxed easy going of the tropics is a no no, etc. and the social customs vary depending on the predominant immigration in the area. Also take into consideration that some countries are implementing to deduct a percentage of your social security check if you move overseas to live as a expat. For those planning to go to Canada to work retire and go back to there home countries.

I may be biased, but I live in bc. and I’m sure Vancouver island and the lower mainland are the number 1 region in Canada. No contest.

HOMELESSNESS IS A BIG ISSUE HERE IN CANADA ....... in\n KITCHENER & TORONTO. TRUDEAU is the THIEF, stealing & wasting TAX PAYERS\n$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to use for his travel/hotel,etc...... expenses$$

It's all about perspective. First of all people come and leave every country on a yearly basis. 2nd You are right about the healthcare system it definitely could be much better but it beats living in the states where you could be wiped out with an expensive health challenge that insurance won't fully cover or just covers 75% and leave you on the hook for 25%. That still can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. 3rd you mentioned that it's cold, and you noticed that being black with an accent made you stand out and seem different. Well you have to realize you moved to a different country so you will be different to the people who live there. I don't mean to sound harsh but that's just common sense. As long as you have the equal opportunities and are being treated equal in regards human and civil rights then I don't understand your reason to point out the obvious of being observably different in a foreign land and experiencing different weather or activities. It doesn't make sense to move to a different country but expect the same things you experience in your previous country. I immigrated to Canada from the states and it was a bit different for me as well but I had to come to the realization that I wasn't in North Carolina anymore and I shouldn't expect the country to change for me. That's not how the world works. 4th and final point. Ontario is expensive, so yea you can't get ahead there. Move to Alberta where cost of living is cheaper, Calgary has the most sun out of all the cities and it's typically really cold only for a couple weeks in the winter with decent summers.
