2 years, 9 months ago @dadgadcan What I think. as a Canadian, makes us proud, and other wanting to move here, is our laid back, don't give a SHIT (until you make us) attitude. Where it is less populated we get to know our neighbours better as well. It's easy to negatively judge someone's religion, culture, etc... if you do not know them. :-) 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 9 months ago @rosannajackson156 You have to go to specific hospitals covered by your care. You become trapped by your job because you only have healthcare through your job. No thanks 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 9 months ago @michaelpjeffries1521 Absolutely never. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @castlerock58 American politics is crazier and more entertaining than Canadian politics but it is better watched from a safe difference.. Democrats and Republicans hate each other and Democrats are trying to put Republicans in prison like in a banana republic. Trudeau is bad but not that bad and his political career is circling the drain. Our two main parties are normally sane but boring. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @Saintly2 I’m Canada, we aren’t even happy with our own gun rules. A lot of us think there should be tougher restrictions. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @Saintly2 That’s why we visit but don’t move there. Anything that you said for reasons TO say yes… vacation destinations. \n\nWhen we visit, other places in the world, we display our flag so we don’t get mistaken as Americans. ? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @gregmiller4387 The USA is a violent hate filled hell hole, you may be able to find some safe corner if you're lucky but it is flooded with guns and violence, run by religious fanatics and the other deluded. I wouldn't even want to visit there anymore.\n The host comes off like an abused wife trying to find somethin nice to say about her abusing husband, he sounds like he has Stockholm syndrome, hubby's not always violent and unreasonable sometimes he's good, but when asked when he's confused. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @billmeek4777 No,, ? the odd good thing does not make it worth it ,,, small towns maybe ok , if the Sharif's not nuts its ok,, , and your not black , or brown or in the south part of America,,, my brother spends 7 months a year in Florida, yes weathers , nice yes if you have money it's ok,, yes if you're in a gated community , ok but ,,,, went to visit Atlanta with black friend to visit had to have his friend clear it to get out of car and to house ,, great once in but scary till then and they all carried guns ,, stayed all night, couldn't ? sleep , left in morning and never gone back ?,,, sad , very very sad ,,, it's a beautiful place,,, I would like you to name some place that haven't had shooting,, GOOD LUCK ? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @christianfortin2540 As a truck driver i did visit the whole USA. What would make me move down there, the weather, the scenery, the beauty of the land. What stop me from moving down there ... the attitude of a certain part of the population (the divide between Republican and Democrats), the healthcare cost, the homeless and the crime rates in big city. Montréal is far from perfect but still above any big city in the USA. Yet wonderfull large country to see. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @ValizanMan Dude... at 16:50 you mention children's safety as something that has already come up, but utterly ignore that this woman is also talking about her rights being stripped away. Something that you consciously ignored previously in your presentation. Maybe you need to sit down and consider what's up with that. Because what's up with that? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @Highlander-s5p there are over 6 million Canadians living in the U.S , But 80% of them return home at some point , as my sister mother and father did . I go back to visit , 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @davidmalcolm2707 You miss the point about school shootings. Just the prevalence of weapons in the US makes the possibility of a shooting far greater, so in my Canadian eyes, there is NO safe place in the states. I have American relatives, and the first time my sister showed me the hand cannon she carried in her car it freaked me out. I’m not a shrinking violet when it comes to weapons. I was in the military for 6 years and spent 33 as a federal parole officer. Truth. be known, I owned a .357 for years prior to the birth of my first child, and although I kept it in a locked box with a trigger guard and the ammunition in a separate locked box after the birth of my first child I couldn’t countenance keeping it in my house. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @m.boivin8671 While returning from a trip to Europe in the late '90s, I came across an article praising the city of Houston, Texas, destined for a promising future, the choice of many immigrants who settled there. As my father was an American citizen, I thought it would be easy for me to settle there, to earn my living there as a career French teacher, given that the article in question mentioning openings in this domain. I went there to assess the situation. I had a few fruitless interviews with schools looking for a French teacher, because in Texas, the education system is denominational, and I am a non-practicing Christian.\n\nMoreover, the reception of the hotel where I was staying forbade me to go out at night if I wanted to return home safe and alive. Indeed, the article did not mention the high crime rate in Houston and that many people were armed. In fact, posters on public transport warned passengers to hide their weapons in plain sight. This was enough to convince me that I had to stay in Canada, even if the country is not perfect. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @tesseg Too attached to health care by handing over a card to ever consider moving to the US. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @stephgoul It’s funny how you talk about opportunities for a prosperous professional and family life in the US, as though we don’t have them in Canada! Maybe in a few sectors or for academics opportunities can be better (or at least more numerous) in the US, but otherwise there are lots of opportunities here too. 1 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @Daphney1996 How school shootings being one the most popular answers is surprising to you is shocking. Of course it’s a concern. I can’t even begin to understand how you don’t feel affected by this… 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @isobelrowbottom1721 Over 50 born in Canada and only ever remember hearing about 1 school shooting in my lifetime. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @TheAlmondFox I was stunned to hear Tyler suggest moving to a small town in America to avoid racism. Just…. What the ….? 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @waynehamilton3684 I dont even go there for a holiday, Mexico for sure i would go they are friendly like Canadians.. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @patstrawhouse4005 Great question, but it’s unfortunate that you chose to filter out comments that made you feel uncomfortable. To wit: You started to read the comment re gestation of a fetus, and then decided to not finish reading the rest of the comment. It was an unfortunate choice to censure the comment, because it’s you had finished reading it, you would have realized that the person was simply IG focusing on abortion and gay rights issues. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @LenWhite-n6r I would not even cross the border, currupt cops are every where, just like the politicians in charge 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @dax4u In Canada, in 2019 there were 686 gun suicides..... in the USA 23,365. Here in 2023 so far there have been more than 400 mass shootings in the US..... in Canada 0.032. So far this year, 23 million Americans (7% of the population) have significant medical debt... $195 billion. \nPersonally, I lived in Garland, North Dallas for 7 months, and North Miami Beach for a year. I know there are other places I could live there....but won't.\n\nPS..........why are all the religious nuts SO hell-bent on having guns? Most Canadians don't even know someone that goes to church.......makes for a better country, obviously! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @ZoubidaPA Our son (22 yo) was in a traffic accident 3 years ago. Heavy multi-trauma that necessitated 18 surgeries, the latest was 2 months ago. He still has complications that forces him into long hospital stays. If we were living in the US, not only the whole family would have been bankrupt, but he most certainly would have died from lack of fund to pay for his care. Being Canadians living in Quebec, we didn't pay a dime, and his medical care wasn't even entirely paid for by the universal national healthcare. Most of it was paid by the Société d'Assurance Automobile du Québec (provincially funded, single payer automotive insurance).\n\nEverything, including renovations to the house to make it suitable for a wheelchair user and so much other things he now needs has been paid for. All in all the cost of all the medical care, prothesis, equipments, surgeons (6 of them, diffrent specialies), multiple MRIs, scans, stress-tests, ect. is most certainly in the 7-figure by now. The single payer automotive insurance granted him a pension for life, calculated on the base of the salary he would have made in his future job, had the accident not cut short his university education.\n\nJust typing this to show a very valid reason why it makes absolutely no sense for a Canadian to move to the US, makes me tear up for families down south going through a similar situation, knowing that unless they are millionaires, they're probably going through hell. Each time we hear about the health care system in the US, we have feelings I can't even describe.\n\nEdited to add: Our son is covered by his father's complementary health insurance he has at his job. We didn't have to claim anything there yet. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @kvongrad Move? Hell no. I don’t even care to visit. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @perciosterloo5821 Being Canadian I dont stay awake all night worrying if the village idiot has a gun and will shoot me .I can have a pain and go to a hospital without worrying if I can pay for it .I get 3 weeks vacation every year which I hear does;nt happen in the USA .My kids can enter their school without having to go through a metal detector .And I dont have to be told I live in the greatest country on the planet because I have lived in a few other countries and I wouldnt trade Canada for any of them . 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @EalaFia-sb7ku Speaking as a Canadian, I couldn't imagine moving to the US. Gun violence, crowds, lack of health care, the prison industry, elected judiciary, heavily polarized politics, racism, the preference for individualism over tactfulness and shunning of people on social assistance are cultural elements I couldn't endure. Despite the fact the weather's often much better, lower air fares or cell rates, abundant shopping choices, interesting places to visit and the friendliness of most Americans, it's a hard no. We already have enough American influence here and sadly, I live in an area led by ignorant politicians who'd like to adopt us policies. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @fabienclaveau9098 I wonder how much of a financial burden health care insurance represents to the average US employer. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @Joo313 I’m Canadian and I would NEVER move the States. But I would never want to move out of Canada at all.. if I HAD to though, never the States. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @RivenRanger You stated you've lived in smaller cities or towns and found them to be nice ..... you're a white guy.... of course you're gonna find the people nice and friendly. It may not be so friendly or nice to anyone who's not white though. Health care coverage through a job means if you lose your job you're screwed for health care while unemployed. The USA is a dumpster fire politically and socially to the rest of the world. You're IN it so you can't see what we are from other countries who do things differently. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @mirandafolland3440 Tyler, I agree that you may be too desensitized to the gun violence in your country. I grew up in Canada in the culture where we, as children, were not allowed to play with toy guns as it represented unacceptable violence. I'm 61 years old and have never held a gun nor seen one outside of in the holster of a police officer. Guns with their associated violence is shocking to us. It's a cultural thing and we like it that way. It's really too bad we Canadians have been so easily exposed to the shocking violence of US TV shows. No strategic seeking of the 'right' place to live in the US is going to change the shock effect the gun violence has on our being. It's very scary and we are not as easily sensitized to it. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @truhunk1 I love visiting the US. It's a nice country with many nice people, but not sure I would like to live there. Maybe in Florida ? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @settlergolds I would never even consider moving to the US. Guns are too accessible, not caring about children lives (more for their guns). Backward in a lot of their technology. Canada is the place to be. No way ever ever would I move there 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @TiagoCavalcanti-ji6hu Let's put Yankee knowledge to the test: What do Andorra, Bhutan, and Lichtenstein have in common? What do Guam, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii have in common? What do the US, Myanmar, and Liberia have in common? Do the Math. Now let's cross some info: what's the deal between the US and Liberia? Hum... it sounds like a movie, doesn't it? Have fun with your research! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @stevietalk1 Mass shot rings have happened in many small communities Tyler .. Newtons, Connecticut -Sandy Hook and others … \nPLUS - people like Alex Jones fed the right wing that Sandy Hook massacre never happened … thank God he lost the court case from the parents of children who died at Sandy Hook. THAT was disgusting - people actually believed & believe that … THAT’s another reason to not want to live there .. \nIt hurts me deeply that Black Americans have fought SO long & hard to be recognized, the marched in Selma, they came so far, as jade women who want reproductive rights. It’s one thing to not agree with abortion, but to go so far as tell a young girl who’s been raped that she has to bring a baby to term & deliver it ? OMG, what loving God would agree with that ? \nAs for the progress that black people have made .. it’s all being striped away in plain sight b/c most of the states are Republican run … \nMost of the U.S. is SO far away - the pendulum has swung so far away from the Centre (CDN. So ?) that there isn’t a centre anymore. … people from both sides compromising, agreeing to possibly disagree but come to agreement as best they can .. THAT’S how democracy is best run. \nDemocracy is in trouble in the U.Z., which means it’s in trouble all over the world b/c so many countries copy the U.S. \nGone on too long … just\nA NO. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @airborne63 Nope....and we have McDonalds and Starbucks too....but I would never eat at Mickey D's, or buy an overpriced gooey coffee at Starbucks. Also, almost no Canadian will ask you about your religion or your politics....unless you are REALLY 'good buddies'. Americans seem to do that as a matter of habit....asking personal questions...and making snap decisions on your answers. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @christinehowes800 So I’m going to echo a lot of the other comments here regarding gun violence. The number ONE cause of death to children is gun violence. Not illness,not car accidents, not poverty or abuse…GUNS. \nBut here is what I found so strange. I’ve never walked into a place of business in Canada that was so clearly diverse. I went into a ladies clothing store and everyone stopped and looked at me like “what are you doing here” I’m white and everyone else was black. And I was like “ what is going on” I thought, is this a thing? My friend had the same experience. He walked into a barber shop, he’s white and all the men were black. He didn’t get it either. In both cases we were treated very well and when they realized we were Canadian we all understood the situation. Because in Canada that just wouldn’t happen. I wouldn’t want to live in a country where even businesses are segregated. That’s just a sad situation. 2 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @bioglassmusic I assure you there are many canadians (usually hard right conservatives) that winter and move to the US. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @vwbora26 As a Canadian I would moove to the States only to escape winter, probably somewhere in Florida, Texas or Cali. But honestly daily mass shooting occurances scare me away. Not even talking about this orange bad manered criminal that you voted president and still you consider worthy of one because he screams make America great again, without having any real solutions, really it's telling about the average US citizen. Tabarnak 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @northernlite3368 TRAVELLED THERE BUT MOVING THERE ? NEVER ! Oh by the way, stop calling your country AMERICA. The Americas are continents of which there are 2: NORTH America and South America. Your country has no name per say ,,,'The United States', Yeah we all can see how ''united'' you guys are nowadays. Actually only a few of the New England states are inhabited by more sensible people, a majority being descendanta of Acadians and French Canadians.- I rest my case ! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @IAMNOTSPARTACUS2008 I managed 5 minutes of your video, and your ignorance of the massive amount of problems in your own country is truly astounding. And are you really so ridiculous to think that people would MOVE to the US to visit holiday sights like Disney and The Grand Canyon? Get a grip, buddy! All you're doing in this video is reinforcing the rest of the world's view that 'Muricans are the stupidest, most close-minded morons on the planet. I'd suggest you go travel and experience the rest of the planet, but you don't deserve a chance to pollute other people's lives with your ignorance. DIAF. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @sandramurray5965 The only reason I can think of any Canadian wanting to move to the States is for a warm winter. Many do for 6 months at a time, but have to stop at some point because the insurance becomes too expensive. Our culture in Canada is very different. I worked with a man from Tennessee who went back there for his family once his kids were grown. He came back 4 years later wanting a job, couldn't take the crime 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @robertdove807 we try to avoid going to the US at anytime - dont care to take a chance on either being ill in the US or being shot at a movie or mall - sick people that dont seem to care about their public Wise up guys ! Health insurance is a right not a priviledge - If everyone paid into it the cost would be very low and top notch health care would be for everyone not just the wealthy 0 O0gJtVar7_E
