2 years, 11 months ago @KDog2264 I can't answer why parents are concerned about kids and schools, out schools kids don't have to go through metal detectors before they enter school. Also we don't have armed security guards. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @tedclapham4833 At my age no! I currently don't like the political situation in either country, but it is worse in the U.S. I figure your sunk regardless of which party wins the next election. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @joesutherland225 Tyler it doesnt matter where you live do you care about your fellow man or not to ignore the issue because you have avoided it sovfar is denial of the problem after all if your not part of the solution your enabling the problem 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @inesmundt6130 Tyler, I very much appreciate your insightful thoughts. I have been watching your videos for the past few months and you regularly make me smile with your analyses. I have to join the many people who have responded and will also say no to the question. I last visited the US 4 years ago when I drove through upper Michigan to northern Wisconsin. The scenery was delightful and the people in the small communities were wonderful. What really scared me was all the billboard signs advertising guns in Michigan. I was very aware of my driving and tried not to do anything that might annoy someone and cause road rage. That is so unfortunate that you have to worry about the driver next to you. I have not been back to the US since and do not plan on any future visits even though I would dearly love to take my camper to the many beautiful, natural parks your country has. 14 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @r.j.powers381 Health care is a huge one. Most western nations have remarkable healthcare systems in place. The U.S. healthcare will bankrupt any individual or family in a crisis situation. The second is the amount of violence in America. The U.S. is THE most violent first world nation on the planet. There are more mass shootings pet month than some nations have seen in their entire history. Having armed guards at schools or teaching children how to duck and weave when escaping a school shooter is not normal under any circumstances. There is a compliance in the U.S. with regards to day-to-day violence and even the NRA takes no responsibility. If you were a typical American your country would be one of the best places in the free world instead of one of the worst. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @joesutherland225 You can buy a gun anywhere and the fact they are that accesable is insane says the rest of the world. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @anttoronto3202 You lived in smaller, suburban areas where most likely everyone was the same. 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @joesutherland225 Womens rights have also come up at least twice 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Mhaeric99 Tyler, moving to a small town is not protection against school shootings. Uvalde has a population of approximately 15,000 people. Sandy Hook has a population of around 9,000. They happen across America in all kinds of communities. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @styphathal3678 I think the best reasons for people to want to live in Canada is for the safety. Laws of no violence and no weapons in public. Our rapid response of Police, Fire and medical (there are bills for the Ambulance and Fire response so we do get billed at times, which also can be brought to our judicial system and potentially the bill can be dropped). \nAll across the world people need safety for their families and Canada takes refugees in large quantities. Refugee families are given a sponsored house, vehicle, paid for bills (including medical and educational) and a paid food allowance to live in until they stabilize themselves with full time work and when they are ready they can make room for other refugee families in need. \nWe have a huge area of land that is underdeveloped and there are plenty of opportunities for work in the infrastructure field. \nCanada is known across the world to host friendliness amongst its free citizens. \nAlso we aid any country in need and are the first country to respond to any natural disaster world wide. \nWe have our flaws but we feel safe and cared for with those flaws. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @joesutherland225 Insane and obscene 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @joesutherland225 Hell no tabernac interchangable 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @joesutherland225 So voluntary segregation is the way to go .think about that statement 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @joesutherland225 Abortion issue she brought up is legit you should have read the whole comment 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @ricatiman The population in Canada is also much better educated on average than Americans, and are better people to interact with. Most of us are always happy, smiling, and enjoying life to it's fullest. We don't sit around complaining to each other all the time about how crappy their crummy existence is. Here, life is truly wonderful in every way I know! 3 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @joesutherland225 They are being shot everyday in your country just because it hasnt affected you is avoiding responsiblity 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @perrycomeau2627 Could prove to be an adventure with my ancestors and cousins. We are entwimed. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @joesutherland225 Nope tyler there are those idiots everywhere especially in the south and the middle of the country 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @rakitoon Why the heck not get into the fact Canadians are not forced to gestate a fetus against our will? It says something essential about the values of the two countries. The erosion of women's rights, LGBTQ rights, etc, is a major factor in choosing Canada over the US. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @joesutherland225 It really depends on career choices entertainment for instance .but generally speaking no thanks for tons of reasons.ps i lived in Las Angeles area for 7 years and toured all over the country over that time so yeah his statment aboutvseeping into everything everywhere is absoulutly true very true actually 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Fred-vy1hm There have been 23 school shootings in the United States thus far this year and 167 since 2018. In 2022 there was 51 or basically one per week. In contrast Canada has unfortunately experienced 6 such atrocities (in 34 years) since 1989, starting with Marc Lepine and the Ecole Polytecnic tragedy. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @girthbloodstool339 Columbine was a small town. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @beety6903 Mass shootings in Canada, 2022: 4.\nAmerica, 2022: ...647\nYou might be desensitized, particularly as a white cismale, but that is horrifying. 2 a day... 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @graceb4732 I have a lot of American friends and some friends live close to the shootings, I feel that Americans are desensitized to the violence. The USA has some pretty sceneries but health care, politics, social welfare, and racism/discrimination are very much more pronounced. I remember visiting Texas and many people carry guns, that scares me because I don't know what their mental health state would be, and if I make a slight mistake and said sorry, would that person shoot me if their mental health state is not that stable? Yes, American gun laws need to be revamped big time for sure. 1 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 11 months ago @jameslyons3381 ?? here, I have lived and worked in two different states, Missouri and Rhode Island. Quite enjoyed both. Spent a lot of time in Chicago too! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @jacobgeorge8677 I disagree that you can find a community with similar politics and what not. I can’t go to a concert in America without worrying about a mass shooter. I can’t send my kid to school without worrying they will get shot. \n\nIt’s absurd to think there is anywhere safe in America with your gun laws. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @1RnSghT The fact you can get shot walking down the street from anybody is enough for a no, and with the other things I barely want to visit it 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @georgespatricksavaria8743 I would Never moove to USA. To many stupid magas, a corrupt supreme court, no decent affordable health care. To many guns on the street. I live in Québec, where scolar ship to high Lebel, is practically Fred. University, the only place you really pays something is still very affordable. Si tank you, but non thanks. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @dorisbetts3012 I would never live there. A teacher friend of mine moved from Nova Scotia with her professor husband. She taught French at Virginia Tech. She and some of her college students were murdered by a gunman who burst into her morning class. Way too much gun violence there for me. Way too much political division. Way too much Christian conservative right evangelical ideology. Way too much disparity between the rich and the poor. Way too many people in general. Way too much emphasis on an individual version of freedom that does not take into consideration the greater good of others in society. I have two cousins who live out there, however. They have lived there for many years. One is a wealthy plastic surgeon in Florida and the other is retired in New England but also well off. She just proudly got her American citizenship, in fact. They love their lives there and would never move back to Canada. It really depends on the values of the person. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @girthbloodstool339 Children are DEFINITELY getting shot at school EVERY day in the USA. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @brettbeierl2616 How many guns do you have? I am canadian and have my hunting guns..shotgun/winchester/22...if i lived in the us i would add others..not for hunting but protection..up here we buy guns for hunting and targets..us seems different from canada..perhaps because they had to rise up and fight for freedom..we became canada over dinner and drinks and a bit of ink! (1867).. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @girthbloodstool339 My dad always said USA people were always lovely to him, but he was an upper-middle-class white man who spoke good English, so go figure. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @nopigeon I moved to the southern US 51 years ago after coming down on a vacation and meeting my husband. I like being warm........that's it. Good enough reason. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @krispayne729 Ever since Justin Trudeau was Prime Minister in 2015 a lot of Canadians have either moved to the United States to states like Florida and Texas, or they move out to the province of Alberta. Canadians and americans to the most part have similar values and views, and if a canadian can afford to move to the united states, they probably would especially under the dictatorship that we're living under right now 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @NN-rn1oz As a Canadian I can say USA is so much more fun than Canada it's not even funny. I just wouldn't want to live there. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Esslee In all honesty, as a Canadian, I would never even consider it. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @wesshoemaker6973 I appreciate that you reflect on things and are open minded enough change your way of thinking. Many humans can not change general thoughts and values and stick to their guns no matter what. Your feelings toward school shootings changed quickly, which is good. Unfortunately, many people feel removed and distant from this violence. That’s why it doesn’t change or improve. Americans are conditioned to accept it. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @daniellecarrie6884 Only the weather in winter. Which is why you have so many snowbirds, who live in the USA from January till April 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @earllynch2627 All depends on money and location 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @leighsnerdlife To be blunt, you couldn’t pay me to move down there. I have family in Massachusetts that I visit and that’s quite enough for me. Canada isn’t perfect, but I don’t live in fear of my nephews being shot in school, or going into massive debt because of my health issues. Not to mention the recent anti trans legislation cropping up and the govt desire to control women’s bodies. No thank you. Never. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @ricatiman As a Canadian, who lived in the USA for a couple of years, now living a 15 minute drive from the border, I used to visit the USA very often - My American ex-wife used to work in Washington state 1 mile accross the border and commuted there daily. Nowadays though, since the vaccine debacle, most of my friends and family members no longer cross the border on a regular basis. With the way that politics has gone, the lack of gun controls and general lawlessness in the USA, travelling south of the border has lost all of it's appeal. As for moving there? NEVER ! 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @erniescabin4256 Lets just say 90% of Canadians are nice, polite people with more freedom 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Zynnix Never. It's crazy to me that Americans can't see how wild their own situation is. I would rather visit an active warzone. It would be safer, better governed, and the people would be less crazy. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @JuneAdams-li9sy Guns do not kill people any more than do knives. The problem is the screwed up brains of people wielding the weapons. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @rakitoon NO. Never. Wonderful natural areas and cities to visit on vacation, but America has a personality disorder that's out of control. Not in any order except how they came to me:\n(1) the American Dream vs the Candian ideal. (2) In many places, any stranger you pass on a street or see anywhere may be legally armed with a gun. (3) Babies to adults -- all can be murdered over and over again, and nothing changes. (4) Healthcare - the idea people thing they shouldn't take care of others is appalling to me. (5) Religious fanaticism - nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. (6) Rampant racism alongside denial of the existence of racsim; nope again x 10. (7) What used to be creeping corruption is now rampant all the way to the Supreme Court (8) 50% of the people want authoritarian fascist for a leader corrupt Supreme Court ... Is that enough for now? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @SuperCutealien I would have considered it years ago. If I got a good enough opportunity. But absolutely would not anymore. The political situation done there isn't something I want to be around. It's a gong show. 20 years ago I theorize that the goal of 911 was to get the US to tear itself apart from the inside. Seems to be what is going on down there now. It's sad and terrifying. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @RoseyFuture American’s healthcare is DEPENDENT ON YOUR EMPLOYER. That puts you at their mercy. 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @debbiew7496 The fact that you have to be “very particular” about what areas you choose to live in says the country is polarized by large disparities in standards of living because it lacks the social programs of most other western democracies. That alone is a reason to avoid moving there. Add mass shootings, religion in politics and no publicly funded health care and most Canadians can’t see a reason to move. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @GigiC4 I used to spent a lot of time in the U.S. as a child with my parents because they had family there. As an adult I went on vacation to Disney World, Las Vegas, Washington DC, etc. We would go across the border for day trips to shop but not anymore. I do not recognize the U.S I used to know, it's gone crazy in the past 10 years or so and I'm afraid to go there now. 15 O0gJtVar7_E
