2 years, 10 months ago @colourblindcrossstitch9415 Tyler's reaction to Canadian fears about school shootings throughout this is that this is a big city problem, and if you move to a small town, you'll be safe and not have to worry about it. So, I got curious, and looked up the population of Sandy Hook, home to one of the most famous (feels gross to describe such a tragedy that way) school shootings. It has a population of less than 10,000 people. What is a small town to Tyler, because 10,000 people seems pretty small to me?\n\nAs a Canadian, I was utterly flabbergasted going into a US pawn shop and them just having a gun room. Enough guns to arm a small army. Hunting rifles. Handguns. Even one that looked like some kind of assault rifle. You can get guns in Canada, but at like, a hunting store, with proper licencing. The fact that you could go to a pawn shop and just...browse the guns there is so alien to me. Every country that has tighter gun control has fewer school shootings, and shootings in general. Like, shootings still happen here, but not to the same extent they do in America. American gun culture enables them because they both make guns so readily available, and have a culture that celebrates gun ownership in a way other cultures, like my Canadian culture, do not. I think our last school mass shooting was in the eighties? So, if I lived in the US, I don't think I'd be afraid to send my kid to school, but it would be way more of a concern than it is here, where I don't even consider the possibility of that happening at all. 10 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @carolhathaway5168 I was born and raised in the US and immigrated to Canada as a young adult. I have lived here for 45 years, am now a citizen, and would never move back to the States! I don't even holiday there (Europe, Asia or Mexico instead). It is so unsafe and unstable; there's no draw for me to want to spend time there. 10 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @janetraats7380 No thanks. I can stand in line at Starbucks and feel fairly confident that none of the other patrons are carrying guns. I used to enjoy visiting the U.S. on vacation but not for years now. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @lesliehunter1823 Moving there isn't really the question. I don't know anyone who will even go for a visit. This sentiment is reflected in the comments. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @artfulliving5778 Problem with this video is that Tyler is not acknowledging his social privileges or preferences that are given him as a seemingly White Christian cis heterosexual neurotypical male from a middle class home. He doesn't recognize that his lived and living experiences are not the norm for a lot of Americans. The only thing the USA has that may sway Canadians is the winters. That is no longer enough with global climate change. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @Doug-h2z I don't know if money and fame would be enough to overcome my distaste for American politics, religion and guns to move there. I really don't have a reason to visit there anymore. I used to love it there growing up and later being able to bring my own kids, but it's not the country I used to know....Florida scares me.....cheers from Canada. 3 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @PatrickGriffin-p8l The US. have always TOLD the world that they are the greatest country on the planet (lmao) . As the majority of their cities contain poverty, homeless people living on the streets, government gangs (cops) killing their own citizens all over the country, people DYING and going HOMELESS due to lack of basic health care affordability, little if any kindness shown towards those who are not WHITE SKINNED, huge number of towns in the US. look worse than the third world countries, Your college graduates (when questioned on hundreds of live videos about simple basic facts from grade 5 level) the COLLEGE students FAIL. LMAO. You told the world that you are EXCEPTIONAL (LMAO). We Canadians simply sit back and quietly chuckle. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @rrain3375 As a Canadian I have never ever paid for health care in Canada. I lived in Italy for 8years in the 80’s never paid for healthcare there either. I have a history of 16 surgeries the last was valve replacement on my heart. All free. 2 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @wendymeyer395 As an American living in Canada for almost 50 years, there is absolutely no way that I would consider moving back to the US at this time. The political environment has become so polarized and, quite frankly, I'm really worried that democracy is in jeopardy in the United States. I echo the sentiment of all those who have said that the gun culture, racism, misogyny, and lack of equal access to healthcare are all excellent reasons to avoid moving to the US. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @frankiedeuce801 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. 5 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @cricketbaxter1608 Parts where we consider to be safe…think about that statement. Would Canadians consider those areas safe 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @waynetrinier4654 I vacationed in the south in the past and cross border shopped for Black Friday yearly. I wouldn’t even consider doing either now or very likely ever again. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @andre_p 10:50 Ty, you balked out of the comment as if the writer threw acid at you. And yet you must understand that to many Canadians the religious batshit craze that is behind the prevalent political climate in the US is at the heart of the refusal to ever consider moving to the US. Americans think they live in the land of the free and yet they’re perfectly happy to force their personal conception of freedom (bear arms, ban books, ban gender/sexual orientation discussion, ban abortion rights etc) onto the whole country. Sadly, you chickened out of facing some unpleasant truths. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @jean-francoisrobitaille6560 As a Québec citizen, I just laughed so hard when I saw that someone actually wrote « tabarnak ». It would also be my own answer. Although I enjoy traveling to the USA and have seen amazing places and met great people, there is no way in hell I would move there. The main reason is the blind patriotism some people show that leads to fanatism and extremists opinions often generated by the right religious wing. Politics in the US is a freak show. Nothing less… 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @legrandfromage6450 Lots of complacent Canadians on here bragging about health care and whatnot. Things aren't going very well, with skyrocketing housung costs, inflation, high taxes, health care system isn't doing well. Canada also has a government that couldn't care less about doing anything to fix these problems. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @GillianMcGeorge-Cruikshank As a Canadian there looks like some great places to visit in the USA but i would never move to the US. The biggest issue in the US is Gun violence, there attachment to guns. Number two is health care, number three is weather volatility and more adverse weather conditions. Instead of one main government the US seems to have two which prevents any real change for the better. Money controls more government and political decisions than even in Canada which is already bad enough. The NRA controls more government and policing. They are seen as the bigger risk to American safety and security. I believe many Canadians believe the NRA are on the cusp of being the largest domestic terrorist organization and closure to a major cartel. Not even the military could control the NRA if the US decided to enforce new laws that the NRA felt would effect their financial, political or perceived control in the US. This is a big reason Canadians may not want to move to the US. To think there is a private military ready to go to war against their own people in the drop of a hat, reminding North Americans of the war between the North and South. There are beautiful places to see in the US, there are hard working and brave people in the US and i am sure there are more good people than bad but those with power, control and weapons have the great degree of balance. The US has a lot to be proud of and still so much possibility and ability to grow if it were not for those with the majority of power that is not being used for good or in the best interest of the majority of US citizens. Love the architecture and old districts and those trying to preserve the environment, farms, seed diversity and best of what made the US great. 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @mikelisejordanjaden Hate to say it Tyler, but no way in hell i would ever move to the USA. too violent and unpredictable. Mass shootings, school shootings, hatred, racism. etc 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @ryantata6694 I'm a Canadian who would live in the States. It's the news man. People forget America is the third most populated country in the world. All we get outside the US is a media machine that spits out doom and gloom 24/7. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @pascaleg.3929 3:35 A couple hundred a month for health care insurance ? bro, I can't afford that either\n\nMy answer is no.\nI roadtripped for 6 months in 2016 (another, calmer time) and what I remember the best is that everytime I got the radio playing, 4 out of 5 ads were about home protection like... 'WHAT IF THEY COME FOR YOUR FAMILY?! INVEST IN ARMED ANTI-ROBBERY ALARM AND GUN TURRET!'\n\nI just can't get past the amount of paranoia being fed... it was crazy. 6 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @dbird1356 Never. No thanks. America is broken. Very broken. \nToo much corruption. Too many crazies with too many fire arms. \nAnd not a good place to raise children. \nOtherwise, it’s ok I guess ? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @kenzieconnolly777 Canada and most Canadians feel strongly about human rights, that's why you are getting all the abortion comments. The abortion laws in the US are absolutely ridiculous and dangerous. \nI wont even get started on gun laws. We have like, basic gun laws. Most people I know hunt and own guns, etc. It seems like Americans have a taste for gun violence. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @laurajames723 There's not enough money or other cultural incentives that could impel me to to even consider moving to the US,. Not with all the religious right wingnuts and guns that even mentally ill people can get their hands on. Oh yes, and your health care system bloody sucks...big time. Thanks, but no thanks. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @medic0us 12 children killed and 32 injured by guns every day in 2022. War on women, war on the poor people, crazy religious cult and ‘’religions’’, crazy interpretation of 2nd amendment witch was writen when guns took 45 seconds to reload, crazy thief politicians, very large number of anti vax and anti science in general, very self centered knowlege of history, no chance for good education for the poor. It’s very sad cause I visited a lot of the US and it’s a beautiful country. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @Gantzz321 having spent a far amount of time in the USA for business something I noticed a long time ago is coming across from you and how you see your country and I believe it has to do with NEWS sources. By that I mean what I found was given what city I was in at the time would determine the news I was given on the tv. Basically your news you receive daily is not the as someone in another states, meaning your view of subject matter is scewed according to how it is presented to you. \nIn Canada news is basically presented the same across the entire country, with far less local interpretation of the event being talked about. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @edbarrantes2931 Please, I’m a healthcare broker, usually work plans in the USA have a huge deductible, mayor medical treatments need to be approved and usually are rejected or denied if the insurance considers the person a high risk, the system sucks, some workers have very good coverage, but that’s only if the company they work for really care, I primarily work with Medicare, which is excellent, I would say it’s the only coverage that is worth it. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @domartelst Betweet 2003 and 2015, I lived in the US for four and half years. And I once thought about it in 2011 (while in LA). And when I got back the last time in 2015, I said that I would not come back. And I haven't even set a foot there since. I'd only go back for work. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @flamingo0123 Lol All of the benefits you listed at the start of your video about living in the US, Canada has. We have McDonalds and Starbucks everywhere too, we have amusement parks, and job opportunities. As a Canadian, any time I travel to the US I am like concerned about gun violence. When I interact with someone in Canada I can be pretty confident they are not carrying a gun, or have a gun in their car. I still travel there though. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
