Another day of American embarrassment. Like the old days of the New Orleans Saints “the aints”. Brown bag over our heads.

New Orleans is my favorite city in the States as well, and IMO from Brooklyn, NY!!! Aiiiight!

I am surprised that these white people have problem with INDIAN IMMIGRANTS but they are too lazy to see the situation in U.K., France, Germany, where jihadis are destroying European cities.People forget to note jihadi attack on 1 st jan in New Orleans where more than 10 innocent people died. We Indians are peaceful and would NEVER kill others for religion.❤️❤️❤️????????

Kingstonian well at least he mention the best city in Canada or at least was until Patterson and garrison made it mess \nMiss you Gordie New Orleans sinking and I don’t want swim

My wife and I used to visit the US and found it enjoyable. Since Trump the attitude has changed and we no longer visit. It used to be friendly and good food with interesting places to visit. New Orleans, Sedona AZ for example. We could never consider moving to the US due to the medical system and gun culture which are black holes that destroy life. Most other civilized countries have health care and gun control.

I've lived most of my life in the DMV and right outside of New Orleans and recently moved to the Bay Area in California. The comment about the US being statistically diverse but culturally segregated is true pretty much everywhere but mostly in the south. The different cultures intermingle wayyyy more in the Bay Area

...But the real question is....are there cockroaches in Canada?!? Cause down here in New Orleans, I get scared to even go outside!

Is Montreal a bit similar to New Orleans but more white

Dear customer, please come try this stunt in New Orleans. We will fit you in that hamburger box and send you back to Canada!

Interesting they could stop the New Orleans US citizens from going from New Orleans to Texas during Katrina, but they can’t stop the illegals?

I was raised in New Orleans, and lived in Toronto from 2015 to 2021. As a game developer, my income and affordability are no setbacks; but the increasing crime rate was fairly on par with NYC and LA in 2021 (I'm sure must be the same now). Yeah, free healthcare n no guns yada yada yada (always take a heat for that) but that insane level of theft n break ins like WTAF man! Yup, free healthcare too but good luck accessing it! My income purchasing power was quite low compared with many major cities in the US (exc. NYC but similar to LA). Add the forever construction, harsh weather, that influx of migration from a specific country (hush-hush) with no desire to integrate n assimilate, I decided enough was enough, packed my bags n moved to Irvine CA. Never been happier!

I went to school and lived in the US for a year, and I enjoyed my time there, plus my dad lived in New Orleans and Houston at different points so I was in the States a lot growing up. The US is great in many ways and it's an exciting place to be at any time... but if it was a permanent choice, I don't think I would give up the Canadian citizenship in trade. Yes health care, and it is just a little less, for lack of a better word, paranoid.

I lived in Canada from 1983 to 2016 after I left the US Air Force in '83. I was born in the SF Bay area, and grew up there in the Hippie peace love/Viet Nam era in the 60's and 70's. I now live in Seattle. As we have travelled to San Fran, New Orleans, Nashville, Miami, Vancouver (Canada) and New York in the last 6 months, I kinda have a pretty good idea how it was on both sides of the border way back then, as well as right now. We have 2 rental homes, and I STILL have to work until I'm 70 to retire without worrying about losing it all because of the the high cost of health care. Your observation of race/political/religion relations are naive at best, you need to travel the country first hand to see it. Canada has it's far share of right wing crazies as well. They're mostly not armed, and most fights are 5 minute shouting matches. I know this because I work on construction sites. Canada doesn't have commercials for pharma or ambulance chasers. Because big pharma is kept in check, and with a population slightly smaller than California, frivolous lawsuits would clog the courts. If the PM killed some one on the corner of Yonge and Bloor in Toronto, he'd go to jail. You can get an abortion in Canada. There's a fraction of the Fentanyl crisis happening in Canada, and they have waaayy less homeless in the street. Canada has 2 weeks paid vacation AND paid holidays. The tax rate is higher in Canada, but many of the benefits make up the difference. It's cheaper to buy a house in Seattle than Vancouver. You can get a 30 year mortgage in Washington as well, instead of 5 or 10 years. Good and services tend to be cheaper and more plentiful Stateside. Mail service runs on weekends, it hasn't done that in Canada since the 80's. As it stands, I'm in Seattle right now because it isn't the typical US city by far. But I'm thinking when it comes to retiring, I'm putting Canada on the list. Being a dual citizen also makes me eligible for the other Commonwealth (universal health care) countries like Australia.

Sorry Tyler, but as a US immigrant born and raised in America who lived there until I was 69 and who happens to also be a minority in several ways, I can agree with the Canadian who lived in the states for 6 years and found it intolerable and for the same reasons only I was often on the receiving end of the craziness. Before anyone comes at me I lived in Chicago, Kansas City, New Orleans and Houston and visited several other cities, so I had a pretty broad experience of US society. And I would have left the states much earlier, but I didn’t have the money as family responsibilities drained all my resources. I’ve been living in Latin America mostly Mexico and have more peace of mind, feeling of safety, lack of discrimination and affordable life then I ever did in the states. I will not be moving back if I can help it ever. Peace!

Not only would I not consider living there, I wouldn’t go there on vacation either. Went to Florida as a kid and New Orleans as an adult, but now you couldn’t pay me to go. Too dangerous.

As a non black person, I feel bad for black people. Everyone hates you, even you hate each other. In Chicago, New Orleans, Oakland, Saint Louis, and Rwanda, all you see is black people killing black people. God bless you. Lets all try getting along with each other.

California sucks have you guys been to Philly or New Orleans man’s food in those Theo cities gawd and public transit is really good specially Philadelphia you’ll like it there if you like New Orleans the people I mean ..\n\nI do want to visit canada tho

I really don't like new Orleans

If your experience in the US is only places like L.A., New Orleans, Miami, and New York you have not been to the US. That's like saying the roads in Canada are horrible, the air is piss and menthol flavored, the people are absolute scumbags if you can't speak French. All those things can be said about Montreal, not so much about Saskatchewan.

Lol New Orleans is beautiful to outsiders and toxic as hell to ppl from here. It's not really all that and it's getting way worse here

Thank you for shouting out New Orleans !!

I always laugh when I hear someone say they don't live in the US because of safety concerns. I've lived here my entire life and never felt unsafe. Personally, i dont know of a single person who's been murdered or even shot. I guess if I was in a gang maybe I'd be concerned or if I lived in a violent area in a big city. But man if you live in more rural areas violence just isn't much of a concern in most places. Seems like people who don't live here just like to use it as a dig against the US. As if the fact that crime is high in some areas in the US means it's a flat out dangerous place to live in. Which is completely unrealistic. There are many many towns in the US who haven't seen a homicide in decades. But of course Chicago or New Orleans or Houston is a different story.

Speaking of New Orleans, I felt that southern hospitality Aba was talking about but god damn their public transportation is bad ?

Bro I love where I’m from but when you said New Orleans was your favorite place in the states you named one of the most crime ridden violent places here ?

I guess I can't really relate to some of your experience in the states because I live in Indiana which I don't have to tell you is much different from New York and California just based on where it's located geographically and it not being a big name state. But over here there is a lot of inter mingling amongst all races. Like my work place for example, we have about an equal spread of white/black/hispanic people that work there and we're all just chill about it, everyone just gets along and we don't really clique up based on skin color. It's not obsolete as is with anywhere, but it's nowhere near the degree in which you described in LA. We don't have a fuck ton to do down here, but we have enough to where it's not a negative factor. And anybody will just talk to anyone about anything really, similar to how you described New Orleans. Plus compared to the bigger cities our cost of living really isn't bad at all here in Indianapolis. We do have a spacing issue like with many states, where you're looking at a 2 hour drive if ya boy lives in Fort Wayne but we just have a fuck ton of interstates that take you anywhere you need to go to make up for it. This was nice change of pace for a video

I live in Ohio and I’m happy no one wants to visit us ? Cleveland is called the mistake on the lake but i honestly can’t imagine living anywhere else! But I agree with Aba New Orleans is pretty much my favorite. But Preach is right the women are generally rough compared to Canada!

New Orleans girl here! Shoutout! Reppin' your merch in the big easy!

ayyyy New Orleans checking in!!

New Orleans is my favorite city

Hmm I wonder why urban metropolitan areas in the usa are more dangerous? I can't just put my finger around it...\n\nAnd new Orleans is a shit hole.

As a New Orleans native That put a smile on my face

Last time I went to New Orleans was with some friends on my birthday last year in May. Went to We Dats for some good ass wings, then went to Bourbon St for like 5 hours at like 10pm every day that weekend. Still the best birthday I’ve ever had

Bro ain’t no way New Orleans is your favorite city in the US. Don’t get me wrong it is SUPER fun down there, but that shit is dangerous everywhere, the streets are full of vomit and urine downtown, and the nicer areas got gates and tall walls around their houses, and for good reason.

How’s New Orleans? I’m moving there in 2025 ?

New Orleans appreciates the love

Tap water and New Orleans.... back in the 80s or so they did some kind of test/survey on tap water in major cities in the US. New Orleans' tap water was rated best tasting, but most likely to kill you the quickest. The tap water came from the Mississippi River, and with all those chemical plants up stream......

Preach, glad you shouted out New Orleans but it was better 30-50 years ago.

New Orleans ?

Shout out to you from New Orleans!!! We are definitely the best city in America.

NEW ORLEANS holds it down. Thank for the shout out for my city

It's funny how New Orleans is one of your fave cities, and it's also usually top five most dangerous

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!

What do you want to achieve with your video? At times it looks like a genuine cry from the heart and at times, your words are too harsh on Canada. First, seems you only lived in Vancouver. Would you have the same feeling or solitude if you lived in a more open space like Toronto, Montréal or St- John where geography is totally different. You speak of Vancouver as being an suburb of Seattle. Friend, it’s North America and there’s one culture, one language, one type of city. You can’t wish Canada were a Spain, France or Italy lookalike. If you want a taste of Europe in Canada, then why not move to Québec. With New-Orleans, Québec city or Montréal are the two places with the more European cachet. I understand you like the proximity of European cities and countries and I’m happy for you that you now live in a city where you feel alive and happy. But please, don’t take Canada for what it’s not: Europe. It’s an extension of US. as for weather, it’s a northern country and Vancouver is the London of the west coast. Rainy but mild.

I’m tired of having to shop in stores and spend my hard earned, (and saved) money in stores where I’m, “made to feel uncomfortable deliberately.” \nI’ve lived in New York New Orleans Atlanta, Macon and DC. I’m almost 43. It’s happened all my life, since I was old enough to shop on my own.

I’m white as a sheet and American. I was followed around an Arabic leather store and treated like a potential shop lifter. I was exchanging a jacket. This happen in the Riverwalk Mall in New Orleans.
