2 years, 11 months ago @kathrinepearson7528 There have been 386 school shootings since Columbine. As of May 30th 2023 there have been 263 mass shootings. These facts alone would make me not want to move to the U.S. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Shakesbear-c1g Middle America is awesome,people are fantastic and I could easily live there...the mega-cities,not so much !! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Dezturbed As a Canadian we have guns, we have lots of guns. we just don't have the gun culture that you guys do over there our guns stay locked up they're used for hunting they we're not allowed to just carry them around and stuff. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @sebastiengendron6934 I am a Canadian. There is only 2 things I envy about of the US: The ease of access to good computer store that doesn't have inflated prices because your in Canada and the library of online content for Netflix, prime, etc.. is better.(without having to resort to gray zone solution) 6 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @cprtrain I'm a Canadian and cannot respect the gun violence and racism in the USA. Trump and his fellow Fascists have been trying to undermine DEMOCRACY. Health costs are terrible in the USA. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @billpetersen298 I wish for a strong, unified, and prosperous USA. \nThe CCP, wants to take over the world. \nTheir propaganda and algorithms, do promote a breakdown, of western culture and institutions. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @johnheaney6383 Trump, mass shootings, republican politicians and their supporters, floods, fires, climate change deniers, religious nut jobs, healthcare costs, poor education system, legal costs, racism……I could go on….Not a chance in hell would I move to the US. I have even stopped visiting. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @nickfoster9350 I've only ever lived in Canada, but have been to many parts of the US, and my honest answer is: probably not. Don't get me wrong, there are many places and things in and about the US that I like, but, unless I was offered a job that was too good to turn down, I don't think I could ever live there. One of my closest friends is American, and lives only a few short hours away, but...Possible exceptions would be places like Maine or Vermont. I've read a stat numerous times over the years, that there about as many people in the US who cannot afford health insurance than there are people in all of Canada. It's a shame because the USA has top tier medical facilities, but access is not guaranteed.\n\nPS: from a Canadian perspective, I really enjoy your honest reactions, and applaud your efforts to educate yourself. Cheers from Vancouver, BC. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Tommy-zs6ro You people are on crack, ive lived in the toronto area my whole life its a unlivable, dangerous hellhole, trust me stay away 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @elaineduncanson1474 You don’t have Tim Hortons in every neighborhood, your food is weird - I freaked out when I saw chicken in the store, no health care, Hollywood and Disney are trash! TOO MANY GUNS!!! Last trip, to Hilton Head, was confronted by a couple at a social event announcing “we’re Republicans!” Nothing I said stopped the negative flow. Thinking of various unsettling instances I decided to vacation in Europe. Hope to never set foot in US again. 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @rboilard First time that I watched your channel - and I commend your candor and your openness. I lived in Canada in the Niagara peninsula and the Greater Toronto Area from 1953 to 1989. Then in 1990, I had a job opportunity to work for a Michigan base company that allowed me much global business travel. I could have moved to Michigan with my wife and two sons however I decided that my residence would still be in Canada on the Windsor side of the Detroit river. I commute every working day across the border and I am glad that I did in fact remain a resident of Canada. I do have a green card still to this day in 2023 as I continue to work for the same company. I can tell you that the for the first few months in 1990, every time that I would cross the border to go back home, I felt a sense of ease and contentment to be back in Canada. I do like the USA but I prefer living in Canada. 29 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @NomadicPhoton Thanks for making this video, first off. It was interesting to see an American perspective on both nations. \nIf I decided to leave Canada, I would probably move to Germany, or the UK, never the United States. 5 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Cherieana Your country is not a free society. Organised Religion forcing your people to hate each other, culture wars, book burning , 400 million guns with only 356 million population.\nYou have mass murder daily \nThe Holy War that your #GOP is division.. I would never want to live somewhere that strips Women and little girls the right over their own autonomy \nYour country is dangerous for anyone that isn't white/ straight/ Christian.\n\nCanada will do a hard pass ! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @salvation7362 Products are so much cheaper and the overall selection is mind blowing compared to our little country that has a similar population size to the state of California.\nBut no, not a flipping chance based solely on your lack of Universal Healthcare... and the guns and mass shootings. I haven't been down there in over 30 years, might never go again. 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @izabelrodrigues6963 Bro Portland is a good place to live in US? Where is the places more like Canadá? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @TheTechnoPilot So as a Canadian, you don’t quite have the perspective that we do from up here, the batshit-crazy political mess is from coast to coast, everywhere I’ve seen from the US, from local politics up through to federal politics they all skew to support crony capitalism (by comparison), accept religious Christian (or Mormon) fundamentalism, and generally are extremely undemocratic by comparison to what we are used to here in Canada. Don’t get me wrong, we definitely have our faults, but it’s everywhere in the US and a whole order of magnitude or more. Up here it’s bad enough we have to deal with the blowback and seepage of some of these bat-shit crazy views like the anti-abortion issue , extreme gun rights, science denialism, and anti-LGBTQ2+ nut jobs. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @johnnygoodface I praise you're humility and openmindness 3 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Chuck59ish When I was 65 years old, I had a Heart Attack and a triple by-pass operation 5 1/2 years ago, if I had it the United States it would have cost my around %500,000 in Canada because I have a health card there was no cost. I'm now 71 years old. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @PAIP_Studio Here is an idea. Just undercut the insurance companies. Each hospital should have a subscription service. You subscribe to the hospital you like and then you have access to all the services this hospital has to offer for as long you are a member. That would solve the problem now wouldn't it? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @JanetLClark It's not easy to immigrate to Canada, btw. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @loriwoloshyn7266 Hell no, not with the way things are going politically. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @fattymcbastard6536 Pre-Trudeau - no f'n way. Not a chance in hell.\nNow? - Tempting... Alaska perhaps. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @mdwyer49 Not a hope in hell…. I refuse to even visit the place and spent the extra money to take my grandkids to Disneyland Tokyo rather than expose them to insanity and risk of getting shot 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @lillyalbrite523 one major reason we Canadians say no, TRUMP, and the crazy religious everything there, even your poloticsw are steeped in religion these days, look at biobert and greene.. lol THATS why 90% of us say HELL NO 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @twylie2590 I had opportunities in the past to move to the US but I did not go for them, I think sometimes due to simple inertia. If I had another chance now, I would definitely turn it down. The country south of here is facing dark times. Political polarization started decades ago already with the Tea Party, but now it reached a point when there are forces that have shaken the very trust in the most fundamental aspects of America, the ideas and institutions it was built on and which are still strong and valid. For centuries America was the beacon for freedom and equal rights. Now a large portion of the population is being made believe that the country became deeply corrupt and only a strong man can make things right. As long as people keep their heads in the sand , don't look around and allow things to develop in this dangerous direction (on top of the gun culture, health care, etc), the future of the US looks pretty bleak. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @DominiHarling I like visiting the U.S. on occasion. There are some very nice state parks and natural wonders. I like that both our countries all drive on the same side of the road. I like that we all speak English. So it's easy to get around. People in the U.S. are generally very nice if you stay away from densely populated places. But playing roulette on the healthcare is already enough to dissuade me. Then there is the (lack of) gun control. I am adventurous. I do love to travel. But I never want to give up my glorious Canadian lifestyle. Even with its flaws, I am not convinced anywhere else is better. 6 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @1043dawn No, won’t even visit right now 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @gilliantohver3225 As a Canadian, I and many of my fellows tend to see the US in several major issues, mostly concerning:\n\n- great innovative spirit and tech (pro)\n- crazy/insane gun access (BIG con)\n- school shootings (child safety - BIG)\n- Precarious healthcare access (BIG)\n- employer culture that thrives by abusing employees (BIG)\n- child labour to prop up a cheap-price economy (BIG)\n- women's rights (BIG)\n- political extremism, lobbies, and anti-democratic governance (the Electoral College is garbage, and the lobbyist-pandering and jerrymandering is nightmare fuel).\n\nI am sure most Americans are decent people, but their country seems to run so poorly, indifferent to their wellbeing, and itd economy is built on the suffering and abuse of the most vulnerable and desperate (wage theft, unethicalemployment practices, little real social support when things go wrong). 1 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @davidhawkins7138 I've traveled and worked in many parts of the USA. In most cases, I've found people to be more friendly, helpful and outgoing than Canadians because we tend to be more reserved.\n\nThe exceptions are when Americans feel afraid or threatened for some reason. Then things get really scary very quickly. The gun culture is one reason for this. At a coffee break in Houston my coworkers started talking about guns because one of them had been held up at gunpoint. His car was in the shop to repair a bullet hole in his front fender. This triggered talk about where people kept their guns at home, in their cars and on their persons. A small pile of 3 handguns ended up on the table while we talked, two of them from women's purses. All but one of the people had never used their guns except at a shooting range. The exception blew out a neighbor's over-loud outdoor speakers with a shotgun. He felt this was justified because he paid his shocked neighbor double the destroyed equipment's value in cash. Most of the Texans didn't agree with him but understood his rationale.\n\nI can handle a rifle and shotgun. Many Canadians hunt, but I can't think of a place in Canada where I could have had this conversation. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @ginkinky Not on my life would I move to the US. And I literally mean my life. Your country has gone bat shit crazy. And there are mass shootings every other day. More guns than people absolutely insane. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @zs4673 I am a Canadian. Sorry but I wouldn't move to the USA for anything. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @jhamara647 You should definitely do a video on québécois swear words. It's a whole thing. 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @n.a.lockhart As a Canadian, my answer is I would never move to the United States !! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @TheSilverEagle Never in a million years would I move to the USA. There is not enough money in the world to pay me to move there. I visited many times over many years and the answer is NO. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @MizuMing Food prices are cheaper in the States, but other than that no I would never consider moving there. There are too many reasons not to, and not enough reasons to. ?\n\n19:44 \nConsidering that there have been over 385 school shootings since the beginning of this year alone, I can absolutely understand where the parents are coming from! You have to understand that we are 167 days into the new year and there have been more than twice that many school shootings! ? 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @annyates5878 You said move to a small town and you will be okay. Wasn't Uvalde a small town?? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @johanne6241 Moving to the United States? Absolutely not. Stopped visiting years ago. Reasons: politics, racism, religion, women's rights, LGBTQ rights, gun culture, cash culture. I'm from Quebec, Canada. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @smeeh7598 As a Canadian, I do not even want to travel to the U.S., would rather travel anywhere else. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @capnkirk5528 You DO know that gunshot is the NUMBER ONE cause of death for Americans between 2 and 18? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @craigtucker1290 I don't know when the US changed from the shining city on the hill to current dumpster fire it currently is, but it is just absolutely disgusting these days. \n\nMany Americans cannot separate church and state, nor do they understand that belief is only real to them, not to others. \n\nThe other major problem is the lack of equality in the US. The SCOTUS is an absolute joke when it comes to rights, amongst many other issues. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @christenandersen65 The country of Donald Dump and 75 million idiots voting for him TWICE? I won't even consider visiting the US. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @christhomson5669 73,000,000 Americans voted for defendant Trump and most would again. Nuff said. Your adopting Facism at an alarming rate and Canadians prefer actual freedom. I wish you all the best of luck 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @ReggieWarrhol Never! I won't even visit the states anymore. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @jeffhillstead3302 Tylor.. Have you heard of draft dodgers.. I heard 6 million semi legal USA citezens somehow live in Canada ?? ? oh.. No USA for me.. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @rener7682 As a Canadian of 43 yrs old I'd leave Canada for the US.... Planning to... I want my 2nd amendment. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
