The real toxicity in Calgary is the mayor
I LOVED Calgary in the 90s to mid 2000s. It’s an immigrant hell hole now just like the rest of the western hemisphere.
you do realize Luke is an immigrant right? LOL (And so were your parents, grand parents 🤣)
@@user-uq2ko4jq2v Yes of course he is. He is a productive individual bringing wealth and pride to this country. You know exactly who I’m talking about. It’s the Muslim invasion. And don’t waste your time with the racist comments. They mean nothing.
And no my grandparents aren’t immigrants. They were settlers. You need to lean the difference. One either worked or died, while the latter sucks off of your hard earned taxes, while you get treated like a 2nd class citizen.
@@user-uq2ko4jq2vabsolutely, his accent is like nails on a chalkboard 😂
@@user-uq2ko4jq2v white immigrants are ok. The rest had better leave if they value their childrens lives!
Agreed
The only good thing Calgary has is clean water supply; now the city has a tyrant WEF mayor that is using water restrictions as a means of control..........decent place in the 80's and 90's but the city has turned into Gotham city........correct on the weather Alberta basically sees winter and a short season to get prepared for the coming winter.
Well, Luke you should have bought a house back when you came to Calgary. My wife and are retired and have checked out 43 countries personally. I don't live in Calgary but half way between Edmonton and Calgary. We retired here from the Lower Mainland of BC in early 2022. We planned to retire in Mexico in the winter every year and even tried it for 4 month in Puerto Vallarta. Glad we did and ruled it out completely and we even have Mexican in-laws. We have been traveling Europe by car for the last 6 weeks and I am in the Algarve as I write this. I have relatives in Budapest, friends in Treviso, family in Sheffield and have met and talked to many people living in various countries. Problems everywhere and possibly the worst in your native homeland.
Sure Alberta has Trudeau (for now), cold winters and other problems. But I sure hate paying $2.70 or thereabouts for gas (it is 1/2 of that in Alberta), a euro to take a whiz in a bathroom, crazy tailgating drivers who think they are racing in the Gran Prix (even in roundabouts), toll roads everywhere, overpriced coffee at McDonalds if you can get anything decent for under $5, no Tim Hortons, paying about $1 for ketchup for my fries as an extra, having to hunt high and low for dairy coffee creamer and I can add more if you like. I prefer the wide open spaces of Central Alberta and can put up with the cold winters and sunny skies but agree with you about the smoke in the air. It has been a major problem for a while now and you can blame it on forest mismanagement by the Government of Canada - most on our current one as the forests a a tinder box because of all the dead wood left to rot there. Not climate change but forestry mismanagement of unbelievable proportions. Depending on your circumstances Alberta is a great place to live or not. The migrant invasion has already started and I am afraid life here will get just as bad as it is elsewhere in many parts of Canada.
Alberta is the least Trudeau loving place in Canada and I like that a lot along with lower taxes and the anti Trudeau billboards and signs everywhere. And don't forget the fine Alberta beef.
Well said. 100% agree. i have lived in Calgary al my life staring in 1960.
This comment resonates - grew up in Calgary, Live Central now. Watching the immigrants trickling out here though is disheartening. I literally got away from Calgary because using the city rec centres were always just full of foreigners and a major turn off. Nenshi squashed my chance at getting ahead in my industry, The political leaders there have made it a shit hole beyond recognition, but beyond that you are still right about how it could be worse lol
Mountains beautiful..Calgary is horrible. People ruin what is natural.
Yep I stopped going 15 or more years ago.. After going to a Deadwood Rodeo, I go south now, it was amazing down there..
I was born in Calgary in 1960 I have lived here all my life. Calgary was a great place to live up until Mayor Knothead Numbnuts came along. followed by Joti gotcrabs ruined this city through bad policy. Over imigration and property policy changes as well as waistful spending Have ruined Calgary. Infrastructure has been neglected and road planners have oppted for control instead of flow. So they build badly designed over passes with traffic lights on them the one true cloverleaf at Barlow and 16th ave in NE is the only correctly buit overpass, and it was built back in the 50's or 60's when engineers still had brains. You know pre comuter design.
I'm on the east and my asthma is completely out of control the last few years. The air pollution from all these fires is very real. I wake up having asthma attacks constantly now. I have to use my puffer just mowing the law. It's insane.
Calgary could have been beautiful, but it's turned into a shithole
It’s a great place to live, actually. And no, trees don’t have leafs for only 3 months. Almost twice as long. But this video is more emotional than factual. Yes there can be still snowfall in May, but it’s gone next day with warm temperature. It doesn’t make it a winter month.
It used to be a good city 10 years ago, but not now. Very expensive . Winter is tough and they do not clear snow. Roads are icy and dangerous driving in the winter. Dont move to Calgary. It is over hyped.
Calgary has about the same number of snow clearing equipment as they had 20 years ago.
Yet many more km's of roads have been built or widened.
Omg, lots of emotion from this gentlemen , very angry comments.
I think this gentlemen realized he lacked the educational, financial, career experience and overall high quality skills to compete with the people of Calgary.
There are so ,many highly skilled immigrants that are very successful in Calgary as well as Canadian's moving to Calgary.
Yes Canada has forest fires every year, some years smoke affects major population centers.
Some of the information presented as facts by this gentlemen need to be questioned.
His opinions are just that his personal opinion.
I wish this gentlemen all the success and happiness in another City or country.
Be safe
Don't Hate
Good luck in finding a city you love
Too many of these people who don't like pork in Calgary and Canada LOL
I mean he didn’t lie though..
You complain about Calgary allot it seems, but personally, I will take Calgary over Toronto any day. I would like to know why your not in Toronto?
Absolutely 💯
I forgot to put out this one! hahaha lol
You are absolutely right about the toxicity of PM2.5. Short term the wild fires may be alleviated by the predicted La Niña weather pattern that may come later this year, but long term, climate change should make Alberta drier year after year. It is true Calgary has long winters and increasing cost of living, but the real game stopper is the deteriorating air quality in my view.
These forest fires are from badly managed forestry policy. Before settlers came to Canada fires were not put out as a result there was more open space in the forests, and far fewer wild fires. as a result of 100 years of putting out fires the forests are now so overgrown , and there is so much dry dead fuel in there how can you not have wild fires. Jasper is a good example Pine beatles wiped out the forest Why because old trees can't fight off pine beatles. Then the federal government refuses to go into this dead forest and cut it all down. So along comes wild fire season 2024 and all this dead standing material is a tinder box waiting for a lightening strike. The same story holds true in BC. THis IS NOT CLIMATE CHANGE This IS BAD FOREST MANAGEMENT. THis is why Calgary is smokey every summer. Mature dead forests all over western Canada And a Government that won't deal with it. Most of it should be clear cut.
The smoke usually comes from the BC wildfires and sometimes Washington and Oregon. Of course there are also fire from northern Alberta.
Been here since 1986. No city is perfect but I do take Calgary over Vancouvers rain and more dense live style .
From where I live a 5 minute walk and I can see the Rocky’s. .
Been to many place worldwide but always happy to come back to Calgary, where everything is there for me.
THIS LUKE GUY MAKES MONEY OFF YT AND IS JUST A COMPLAINER, LUKE YOU SHOULD BE A POLITICIAN, YOU SEEM TO HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS! THIS GUY WOULDN'T BE HAPPY ANWHERE IN THE WORLD, HE WOULD FIND SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT
Luke isn't going to get far in life if that's all he's got.
The smoke is bad in BC in the summers now too. SmokeAnogan and all through the interior and even Vancouver in the summers now.
The reality is that this past summer the smoke was hardly noticeable for most of the summer, and even on the days it was present you could only notice it as a slight Haze and not even smell it. Most of the time it was much higher up in the atmosphere where it creates a hazy sky. Even when the smoke has been at its worst over the last few summers, one could hardly describe it as toxic, and in fact I have gone out bike riding in it with no ill effects. It is unclear to me exactly what he thinks is toxic in Smoke from burning wood. If that were true, they would ban fires in all campgrounds.
It has been bad the last 2 summers since I moved here. Central Alberta. I have allergies and smoke really bothers me. But BC has a lot of smoke too so it is far from just an Alberta problem. I prefer 40below in the winter sunshine to smoke anyday.
All smoke and mirrors, pun intended
I was just going to comment "and the dog barking," just when you mentioned it! lol
My wife and I travelled the world (117 countries), and Canada was one of the places we looked at moving to a few years ago. It has a lot to offer but has really gone down hill, mostly due to poor government policy and mismanagement. This is apparent when you look at housing, unemployment rates, immigration, the environment, cost of living and so on. Canada’s immigration process is all about making people run through hoops to get to the finish line, rather than taking in educated / experienced / qualified individuals to sustain the local economy long term. On top of that, you get 8 days of leave a year (a real pittance), and you are essentially at the mercy of your employer because any additional days you accumulate over and above that are revoked if you get let off / move on to a different employer. Cut the long story short, we both decided to live elsewhere and use the generous time off we have to visit Canada instead if we wish to. The bottom line is, the world is a big place and Canada has lost a lot of its competitiveness, leaving the majority of people going for alternative options that are better suited.
Obviously you have a lot to compare to and like I said it depends on your circumstances and tastes. I am a born Canadian as is my wife and we both grew up on opposite coasts. I thought at that time when we met there was a cultural difference East Coast Scottish heritage vs West Coast Hungarian heritage. Not like the vast differences in cultures who make Canada their home today. You would have loved the Canada of the 60s, 70s, 80s and even the 90s plus possibly the early 2000s. Today housing is an issue in many western countries and Canada still has a few places worth moving to if you want decently affordable housing. Alberta is still such a place but is getting more expensive real fast with the lower interest rates and other demand side policies thrown back into the picture. We could see a further housing price escalation probably bigger than anywhere else in Canada because of all the shear numbers of newcomers arriving at a record breaking pace with people moving out of Toronto and Vancouver areas now that they will be able to sell their overpriced homes and head to Alberta to be mortgage free or improve their living accomodations to be able to buy a proper house instead of a condo and start a family.
Luke I Hundred percent agree with you generally people are poor in calgary and they always feels insecure because of high unemployment,I would say it is the most over rated city in North America.
True, i didn't agree with you earlier, now realized when i lived there for two years.
Luke has grown his first beard. Good for you Luke.
I left Calgary 13 years ago for greener pasture
Calgary has sucked since 2014
Most unlivable city you have ever lived you say, clearly you have never lived in Vancouver go do that for 6 years and compare that would be an interesting video. Curious about your thoughts on Edmonton.
I thought you were moving
Watersheds will tap out, Calgary city council back burner perpetual. 15 minute city looks great from space, but getting around is insane, transit and roads suck, auto glass businesses everywhere from winter rocks, Deerfoot a danger zone. Never been afraid to drive anywhere, except Calgary, crazy! Old cow town was amazing until the narcissists from Toronto moved in.
Luke is busy grumbling about Calgary from some European city with an annoying dog barking in the background.
What is bad about Calgary. Too cold them it’s terrible for those who have migraine coz of chinook then it’s the hailstorm alley. Too many Indians without the Rockies it’s probably a boring place as it is now lack of career opportunities
A lot has changed in just 5 years…damn
Facts used to live there for 3 years. Other then weather and cheaper gas. Boring and good luck outside playing Golf et all. All the people with money are in Mexico/ Carribean/ US most of the year
BC is bad the fires are bad for sure.😢
I lasted 9 months... I was outta there!
What did Calgary do to you?
The reason he hates Calgary so much is that he blew the opportunity of buying a home and watch it go up in price by approx. $300,000 in the 5 or 6 years he lived here. The reason he doesn't knock Toronto is 6 yrs ago he couldn't have bought a house there anyways because prices were too high for him. He dithered and waited and plain just missed out. Mr Doom and Gloom reminds me of an old friend of mine now in his eighties who spouted the same doom and gloom from 1982 until even today. A left leaning socialist in the extreme in his core beliefs. Lets just say his retirement today is based on the Guaranteed Income Supplement and generous family members who did't take his real estate advice. IMHO, there is now a much greater discrepancy between the haves and the have nots than there has ever been since the end of WW2 in Canada and most western countries. Asset inflation, especially in real estate has created a lot of wealth and renters today will if they are lucky will end up like my friend and if they are not lucky will end up broke and homeless. Be careful, luke.
@@stevegaspar5191 That explains it. I'm not from there but am not buying this. There's no perfect place and it's mostly one's decisions and actions which determine how life goes , not a place....unless there's like big problems like war etc. He needs to make some tough decisions and stop spewing this hate on a city, Ridiculous.
What country are you in now, Luke? Didn't catch the name.
Mejico
he won't answer.....
Panama
Red Deer?
Come on Luke you must know the truth and you must tell it.
Luke is a young guy with lots of problems.
@@user-iw5mp5th6d Luke's an old friend from the UK , I don't need your opinion in fact you are Luke 😂
Ya it's true canadian propaganda only shows canada in the summer 😂😂😂 not the winter 😂😂😂 come on over to long cold dark days and no jobs , oh and you can't afford anything either 😂😂😂
