He who is willing to sacrifice Liberty for security deserve neither. You may think you're free in Canada wait until you say the wrong thing are you rubbed the wrong politician the wrong way. Our Lord forbid you decide to get a truck driving job. Fools

Toronto being dangerous is just dumb to me. And I’m not saying it’s safe, I’m just saying you got no reason to be acting hard when you come from a middle to upper middle class family. I legitimately knew a gangster whose mom was an incredibly wealthy lawyer and bought him luxury cars and an upscale condo. Like why are you so desperate to be cool?

I live in Montreal and I can assure you French is not required. Most people here are very nice and willing to switch to english after you say good morning instead of bonjour. In addition, there is even a program where the goverment pays you to learn french. Just take into account that taxes are higher than in other provinces.

Stop saying America lolllllll it is a continent not a country !!! Canada is part of America as well as Mexico. The title sould've of said , why i moved from the United States to Canada loll

I grew up in Columbus ohio and Aba saying “it’s good in theory, but no one wants to visit” is waaaay to accurate lmao?

Lmao i didn't expect someone to even know what mobile is. Preach surprised me just randomly saying my city.

I can't say I disagree with anything here lol

You say tap water is better in Canada I'm from a suburbs of Cincinnati Ohio and the actually bottle and sell the tap water from the city of Hamilton supposed to be some of the best in the country

I lived in Edmonton for three years and your mass transit is quite good. But the further you get away from city centers it thins out. Here in the ?US we need to work our mass transit. As I type this you meant self segregation. I think it happens around the globe. People want to live around people like them. There are exceptions though.\n\nI lived and worked downtown and the one thing that surprised me was the fact no one really talked to each other. Walking to work folks were wearing blinders and kept to themselves. Being from the South we say good morning, morning, hi, how ya' doing or something similar to people we run into. I asked a coworker and he said the only people that talked to you were the homeless. To which I replied, you have to be down on your luck to address passerby's? That was crazy to te!

I love you Aba and preach but saying boring politics is a negative for y’all is kinda sad. Politics is ruining America. There is so much radicalism, y’all should be glad imo.

Canada taxes n healthcare is ?️! It's cold AF up there 10months out the year. Despite the shit people say, there's DEF racism up there. Only thing I like about parts of Canada are the mixed, beautiful women. O, and it's way cleaner!! Y'all niggas don't even have guns any more, FOH\nTo explain the segregation, remember, America is Old and made up of immigrants that came over the last 2 centuries. When a particular group got here, they moved into where their respective group lived. Some traditions n customs remain.

Ngl as an American and even though I agree, I was getting a little defensive about 6 minutes in. I was like “damn, they got nothing good to say?” ?\nAll your points are accurate but I love this country for allowing me the opportunity to work hard and make just under 6 figures by 24. Not many countries can offer that opportunity

Nah did this man say Canadian women better?\n\nY'all only have like 170K in Haitian peoples there.\n\n300k in Jamaican.\n\nSo I got to find the a needle in a haystack of fine cultured women.

You lived in LA. That can't be your only example. I live in Montana. Say as hell out here. All your cons are about big cities.

ummm says the folks with POUTINE!

Everything your saying is true I am Canadian. I tell people from the states the difference in school parks that I seen. All the kids in Canada are in side doing homework after school. Because are school system is way better. You see kids in the states out side playing sports for scholarships. So thats why as Canadian I feel we don't care about leisure activities. We rather travel and come home.

I went to Canada love the vibe. However I’m from Chicago. So believe me when I say “ITS FUCKING COLD IN CANADA” Y’all cold is next level. That bitch actually hit my bones. Like wtf

*The irony of this video.*\n \n*I'm currently working in Whitby for 2 weeks & will say I am enjoying Canada.*\n\n*Other than the driving motherfuckas is bold out here*

I live in British Columbia. In a city people consider “dangerous.” I remember I had a package delivered to my door. I was at work so I couldn’t go get it. I was imagining those videos I saw on YouTube of people getting their packages stolen within 10 minutes of it sitting there. But nah, It stayed there for 6 hours and never got stolen. Heck my workplace, had a package delivered on Friday evening and it stayed there outside until Monday. I was very surprised both times. I’m not saying that I’m living in a utopia, I’ve gotten robbed before, like everyone else I have my complaints. I think what really helps Canada is the smaller population. Less people means less people to rob shit. That tap water do be nice though.

Dont Sneeze unless your ready to say goodbye

Thing about LA is, it’s a whole COUNTY. Long Beach, Compton, Gardena, Pasadena, Hollywood etc, are all part of LA. I lived in Redondo Beach, which was 10miles/16kilometers from Hollywood but because of congestion it takes an hour to drive there. \n\nWhen Aba says Hawthorne to Long Beach, that’s a whole 45 minute drive

When the population and separation between economic classes hits a certain point things start to fall apart. It’s safe to say healthcare starts to breakdown at 25 million and all though crapy 40 million still works. I think 100 mill is breaking point, all would be function better if focus was on localities of say 50,000.

Aye shout out DMV I. Actually about to me to PEI and .........its different out there and ya'll right on what yall saying

Oh i thought you were gonna say health care lmfao, thats falling apart

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

Thats gonna change bro, as long as the rich keep making us poor the worst its about to be just saying

Imma say this re the girls thing. Coming from DFW I was shocked when I went to Edmonton for work how much talent there is. Gotta give credit for that.

4:30-4:35 Did Aba say he lived in LA ninety years ago?

First things first I think you’re misunderstanding about what food deserts are in America food deserts are considered with poor neighborhoods. Don’t have quality grocery stores. Yeah, they might have fast food restaurants all around them, but everyone knows it is not healthy to eat that stuff every day the nearest quality grocery store could be 7 to 10 miles away and if you don’t have a car you’re SOL (shit outta luck) number two. segregated communities in America is done on purpose so that the ruling class can keep the masses divided this is how they stay on top you know the old saying goes divide and conquer they keep us apart, and they also have a strong branch of the government called media, which perpetrates, bad news more than they uphold good news especially when another race is involved in a crime hurting another race. All of this is done on purpose. This is the great American shit hole.

When I hear, “the worse parts of Canada are the best parts of America” it says ALOT. Safety is my biggest thing when it comes to where I live.

I was a bit skeptical when the conversation about the cost of living came up... I say this because the difference between what you need (income wise) to qualify for a mortgage in Toronto (246K), is vastly different from Montreal(117k - 123k), as according to a recent news article... Then I looked at the cost of living between Toronto and NYC and that skepticism cleared up. Nonetheless, I really think it depends on where in Canada vs US, you choose to live when discussing this particular topic.

On the subject water, it varies from city to city. I live in a city called Quincy, just south of Boston. Friends and family who live in the same area, but in different towns like Randolph or Brockton, always say how good the tap water is here when they visit.

I saw someone say: the US is actually 50 third-world country in a trenchcoat with a military budget to threaten God.

Having been born in NY and raised in Toronto for 13/14 yrs I agree there are pro/cons to living in both. I would say that quality of life is much better in Canada. Being Jamaican I appreciated the concentration of the Caribbean diaspora in Canada. From my perspectives different cultures are tolerated in the US vs accepted in Canada.

I lived in Lon. Ontario for seven years and I have to tell you the air is so clean choked for a week clearing out Americans crappy air,the ghettos look like suburbs because at least in my area the properties are being taken care of,no I'm not going to say that wasn't any racism or no Gunplay it is minimum and the politics is almost as bad as United States but it's a hell of a lot better than what the state is offering you, yes there's more money in the States but you don't get a piece of mind like you do in Canada, and let me tell you about their beer store and how one of their beers is an equivalent to 6 US beers lol, I need to go back lol

Canada is in America loool That's like saying I moved from from Europe to Germany lol

I gotta say it's funny how aba visited the places with the highest crime rates florida,LA,New york,, these are also the most expensive places living in Louisiana shit ain't that expensive

Rather live free in fear than than what Canada has. \nAba says he’s ex military??\nHow’s that Canadian VA???\nDon’t you dare call them for a headache…..\nIt be preach and preach.

15:22 \naba: aight boom\nPreach: *'looks' this guy... 'breath' nahh i aint gonna say nun*

I’ve been to Canada (Toronto, Scarborough to be exact) at least 2-3 times when I was married to a Canadian and I can say that I had very good experiences except for dealing with some of the French. Definitely a culture shock in some aspects. The diversity is very strong which is a plus. Only downsides are the gun laws and the unavailability of sweet tea (yeah I’m southern). But overall Canada is very nice.\n\nBut one thing you’re not lying about is the WATER. Different locations in the states have different tasting water. If you want water that smell like eggs then Florida is your spot. If you want fresh water, buy a water well. \n\n\nYour experiences may vary.

Hearing y’all say you like drinking tap water blew my mind. And it’s only cause I’m from and live in America. You ain’t drink tap water where I’m from ?

I came from Poland to Canada. I live in GTA and holy shit it's much worse than Europe's public transportation but when you say it's better than US then I can't even imagine how bad they got it lol.

I hear people saying Horrible Healthcare but a Greater sense of peace. My question is What good is prolonging your life only to live in turmoil and chaos?

It's fucking US... America is a fucking continent. Canada is an American country in the American continent... Saying you moved from America to Canada sounds stupid. It's like saying you moved from Nigeria to Africa... Dumb asf...

Had to reupload because you got more shit to say about the US lmao

Canada is not peaceful like politics say on world stage only move here if you are white white white and a white man

I would also say the big divide between English and French. In Ottawa, almost all the people in top government jobs are held by bilingual Quebecers who look down on ordinary Canadians. If you're an immigrant who plans to work for the federal government, and work really hard on your French, you still get discriminated on your accent on French.

Canada is still better than Murica in every conceivable way. You could say, yeah, we have beaches, but they're pure garbage.

As a born and raised Canadian, I say Canada has become a socialist shit hole…

I've lived in Vancouver, Toronto, and Saskatchewan, and I have visited Quebec and Alberta. In my opinion, Vancouver is best. I mean, it's a huge multi cultural seaport city. You get both of two worlds - the resources of a big city and amazing scenic nature. I find that priceless. Quebec, on the other hand, has a lot of great things to offer, but only if you're fluent in French. My visit to Quebec wasn't great. Many people ignored me for speaking English at stores, and so I felt the people were kind of rude to non French speakers. \nI don't have much to say about Saskatchewan, other than it being cold and ugly.
