The roundabouts are saving many lives, they have made our roads a lot safer.
I've known a lot of people who moved to PEI to "get away from it all." They soon discovered that the Island is not only the most densely populated province in the country (45/sq mi as opposed to 15 in Ontario, 8 in Quebec and a little over 4 in Alberta) but also that population size triples in the peak summer months.
So, people move to PEI without every being there? I've been to PEI about ten times now, all during the summer. Despite the number of tourists it's nowhere near as busy as a typical Ontario city day to day.
What you call " dead" means " peaceful" to me.
No. It's dead in winter. Be prepared
Just an Islander sayin I LOVE our roundabouts they are soo much faster than lights! Trouble is the people who come here and don't know how to use them lol
High paying jobs are scarce.. housing prices are crazy high now.. beaches are beautiful.. people are very nice but will see through you quickly if you behave like big city come from away snobs.. life is a slower pace if you dont adapt you will be frustrated. The good news is for those who embrace life on PEI you will never want to leave and will enjoy life for what it's meant to be
I've lived all over the country, in the north, and in Europe. Now I'm on PEI. It isn't a slower pace of life; it's backwards. I lived in Northern BC for many years, living in a genuine rural setting out in the wilds. It was nothing like PEI. PEI is is like a Canadian version of Mexico: It's very primitive, and tourism dominates the economy. Most of what is spoken about PEI is simply not true: the friendliest people, the beautiful beaches, the amazing countryside, etc. If you've ever done any amount of travelling, you quickly see right through the myths in an instant, and wonder why you made the effort to come to the Island. We're leaving shortly, and will never be so relieved in our lives to be gone.
Crazy house prices 😂😂😂 go to Vancouver where I came from
@@mangore623version of Mexcio ? 😅 I am sure my Mexican boyfriend that lives here with me would highly disagree. No comparsion to be made. 😂😂
Meh, move away. We don't want people with that attitude here anyways.
Ile du Prince Edouard est vraiment merveilleuses à tout les points de vue. Les habitants sont acceuillants et très gentils. Les paysages sont beaux et les plages sont propres.
C’est vraiment une province magnifique
I wish to live in this island, but I don't can do this if I don't find a job, help me please
My aim in the future is to move to PEI, looks like an awesome place.
As for PEI ceasing to be an island due to the Confederation Bridge, I have also heard the argument that Cape Breton ceased to be an island once the Canso Causeway was constructed.
I live close to the Alaska Highway in Canada's Yukon. First, of all, what the heck is a divided highway? Just kidding, but come on. Growing up in Western Canada, divided highways were rare. If you encountered one, you had probably made a wrong turn somewhere and wound up too close to a city. Second, Whitehorse (where I live) has a ton of roundabouts. Frankly, they are way better than traffic lights in my opinion. Thirdly, cost of living--try living in northern Canada--tourism, mining, government and transportation. From where I'm sitting PEI looks pretty attractive, especially since it probably doesn't experience an eight month long winter. Just saying. Honestly, most of the negatives, you've mentioned sound like positives, and as for the rest, PEI looks like a lovely place. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much for that, that helped. I know at a soul level I belong in Canada perhaps, and I’ve been there on holidays. Just thinking what might be a good province to apply to.
While I’ve lived in Asia for 35 years and love my Asian conveniences, it’s time for a change.
Primarily, I’m tired of being treated like a foreigner because of my skin colour. It’s become my entire identity. Which sucks.
Thanks for this.
Why am I SO IN LOVE Rustico? 🥰 🥰🥰
It’s a charming little spot for sure!
thank you
Do a campus tour on inside prince Edward Island university
Some people in Summerside decided to help the homeless by building a barn with fridges and free food for homeless.....but of course Scummerside took advantage of that ....started reselling the food for crack or meth likely....then they set the buliding on fire...
hmm im
planning to
move there 😩
Oh no, so much negative comments, I'm planning to move to PEI🤣
No family doctors available! Health care is difficult at best.
Yeah but here is the million dollar question. Is the beach water colder than Nova Scotia? NS was averaging 18degrees celcius...
singing sands !!!!
As someone who moved there for four years. Don’t live in west prince, multiple people were murdered and one of my family members got bullied so bad they tried to take there life
Did your family member try to kill themself or the person(s) who bullied them?
Where do you recommend me to live that’s near the pei university?🥹🫶🏼
Why that ??? Y some1 kills?? Is there poverty???
🥶suspect you didn’t go in the water ❗️
when you move to PEI to live you will be called a PFA a person not born on the island
Singing sands as it squeaks when walking on it duh
I LIVE HERE......ITS SHIT LOL , Especially Scummerside.
WE HAVE HURRICANES, Hmmmm what else ???
I live in PEI there were not 1.5 millon people on PEI in 2018 that's a lie
Throughout the entire course of the summer....I have family there who works in the tourism industry.
pei is an island but you can just drive off it lol
I've lived on this island my whole life and the only nice thing about it is the nature. Everything else is a shit show and you all should avoid coming here at all costs. Anne of Green Gables never existed yet we use 'her' to get more people to come to this god forsaken tourist trap. Most of our industry is seasonal and if you're looking for opportunities you should go/stay out west. I'm not saying these things because I dislike tourists and immigrants, I'm saying these things because PEI is the worst province in Canada to do anything. This place is where small businesses come to die. This place is where the young get stuck and have no where to go but six feet under the ground. This place will kill your dreams, eat you up, and shit you out. Just remember, this place looks nice but don't try to live here, you'll regret every second you waste.
If you come from BC (me), you'll be extremely disappointed by PEI. In relation to BC: Zero wilderness; the beaches are lifeless; Zero wildlife; it's crowded; the cost of food is higher, but the quality/variety/quantity is lower;the cost of alcohol is higher, but the variety/quantity,/quality is significantly lower; People are not any friendlier here than elsewhere; If you've been anywhere else, Charlottetown isn't the least bit impressive; Jobs are scare; Wages are lower; If you "Come from away" you will never fully fit in on the Island; the housing stock/inventory is significantly less expensive, but far inferior in quality; the vacancy rate is equivalent to BC's (close to zero). Within a week of arriving on the Island, we saw right through the hype, and are now keen to leave. What can be said for a place whose chief claims to fame are a fictional character in a children's novel, and potatoes?
Thank you. That's helpful because I was considering moving from BC.
@@scotth6814 I'm happy to have helped. If you look at the comment sections in few of the other PEI videos, paying particular attention to the negative comments, you'll find even greater insights than mine. Seriously, I wouldn't wish this hell on anyone. Quebec, Saskatchewan, and Alberta were all more prosperous than the east coast, and not as backwards. As soon as we hit the Quebec/NB border, it was all downhill from there.
@@mangore623 Well, Quebec is out of the question if you don't speak French. Saskatchewan and Alberta are too cold. I don't care about the jobs because I plan to retire, but I don't know where to go now. Housing in BC is way too expensive. For $650K all you get is a run-down shack in the Okanagan.
@@scotth6814 Oh, tell me about it, mate. On the Sunshine Coast, $500K only buys a trailer in a trailer park. We spent 12 miserable years in downtown Vancouver, and hated every waking second. We then moved to Bowen Island, and Vancouver was like heaven in comparison. Gibsons was fantastic for four years, and then all the Vancouver wanks made the same discovery, and the place was flooded overnight. There's a mass exodus of people streaming into the Atlantic provinces at the moment, and it's like a swarm of locusts have descend on the real estate over here. Everything was normal until they instituted passports and protocols again, then the market went insane. Houses were sitting on the market for years, and now they are gone in days. I suppose that it depends what you want for your retirement. The cost of living is far greater over here than in BC, but real estate is cheaper. Taxes are higher, but there is far more unspoiled wilderness out here. Half of the population lives rurally, but you are at least an hour from the simplest/closest amenities more often than not if you choose to live in the country. It's far worse on Cape Breton, where you can drive for hours before you encounter a gas station. It is very simple out here, reminiscent of how Canada used to be thirty or forty years ago, and the charm of that simplicity quickly wears off when you are trying to get things accomplished, and the people you are dealing with are still stuck in the 80s way of doing things...particularly when you are dealing with the provincial government,
@@scotth6814 I forgot to add that if you are resourceful, there's still a few areas in BC where property is not in the millions, but it does require living in a small community. There's still bargains to be found in places like Maderia Park, Powell River, Port McNeill, Port Hardy, Bamfield, Gold River, Sayward, and similar places along the coast, or in the southern interior. There are bargains in mid/north BC too, but those winters are way too savage. The average age in most of these communities is on the high side too, as many people are looking for a comfortable landing zone for their retirement years, and have gravitated to these areas. If I had to do it over again, I would have chosen the north coast, rather than sending myself right across the country on this fool's enterprise.
It's interesting how Canadians are conditioned to accept the awful as something great or "uniquely Canadian". Well , I've got need for you : it is NOT ! Depressing,deplorable places that would be ashamed to compare themselves to anything in Europe or even South America.
