Hey man thanks for the video. I was missing and eager to see how much Moncton has changed. I graduated from the Moncton flight college now renamed to MFC training. Been there from late 2009 till early 2012. Loved every bit of it, still consider it my second home. Greetings from the kingdom of Bahrain 🇧🇭
Ok that was a really awesome video. You guys need to do a travelling series of other cities. Well researched with funny interjections. When I was in Moncton I knew it was truly a bilingual city because at the Mcdonald's when you arrived at the cash register they would wait for you to say either "hi" or "bonjour" before they'd start serving you in the language you started with. Very cool.
Do. Not. Even. Consider. It. What a $hith0le this place is. Everything is ugly. People f-up w huge chip on their shoulder. Speaking some ridiculous French dialect. Not embracing anyone and only want to use and benefit from the newcomers. Save your souls before it's too late.
Yep, and for more than a million for many, but those that have nicer homes that are two million plus usually move to other areas in their province and buy something for a million or just under. Also we have been seeing news stories about folk from BC and ON going back, as it is not what they expected and realized owning a house isn't everything.
Being born in Moncton NB when I left I heard it became diverse which I was very happy to hear about. Moncton used to only have small percentage of other cultures. I live in Winnipeg Manitoba very diverse here. Thanks 😊 for doing this video of my hometown. When I lived there last no casino and high field square mall was still there.
@cfaviator Generally speaking I find small cities boring. I never thought of Moncton as boring because if there was nothing going on in Moncton, something fun to do in Dieppe or Riverview. I do miss Moncton defently visit there someday. Even though I don't consider Moncton boring, I really like bigger cities and like how Winnipeg is way bigger. I would defently recommend Moncton or Saint John New Brunswick to someone that wants to live in smaller city than Winnipeg.
@cfaviator Even if I wanted to my mom and my grandma would never move back to Moncton and I don't want to live in different city than my mom. But if I won lotto max tonight lol I could own a condo or house in Moncton for when I visit defently won't need hotel. I'm trying to remember if Moncton even has condos I think they do. I know they have apartments. But I remember the winters in Moncton being very cold in the winter. Maybe I just can't stand winter anywhere.
@cfaviator My Grandma she moved here, so my mom eventually moved here then I eventually moved here. My Grandma finds it hard to get around Moncton without a car and likes the bus transportation here. My grandma knew cousins here so moved here when she no longer wanting to live in Moncton. My mom also has bad memories for how I was treated in Moncton bullied ect she's used to living in bigger cities now.
@cfaviator Me and her have some bad memories of Moncton she doesn't want to go back. But she's open to moving to Edmonton if I move there. But she would prefer to live in Winnipeg and never move. One reason she likes Winnipeg and don't want stress of living in new city.
@cfaviator there is many good people in Moncton but the ones I was exposed to were judgemental or bad or both. When I first lived on my own I hade many issues because of how I was treated.
FYI that monument boat on the tidal bore has a time capsule that is waiting to be opened with letters and things from the past. IDK when its going to eb opened but I remember looking at it when I was a kid and its upposed to be opened in like 2050 or something.
Growing up I've looked at New Brunswick (including Moncton) as a boring place too and its made me want to travel. I'll be curious though of what I think when I'm older after I've seen more places which I can compare it to and then maybe begin to understand the appeal. I think we're all just trying to get away to be in someplace new, and sometimes that's all we need.
I HAVE SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT NEW BRUNSWICK - I hear that New Brunswick has some concerns. 1. New Brunswick has the highest Radon Gas levels in Canada. I hear that when you buy a home the you must sign a waiver that you understand that you may have this gas in your house. 2. Most of the province is sprayed several times a year with glyphosate ( round up). This is done in the forests with helicopters and or planes. 3. New Brunswick has that Neurological brain disease that has affected around 38 people 6 of which has died. These things are a big concern. I was wondering if it is safe to live there?
Hi buddy! Moncton is becoming the most beloved city in Canada for Brazilians, both for those who are already in Canada, within the other large cities in the country, and for people who are still in Brazil, and planning to immigrate to Canada. We are arriving in great proportions, to add with the beautiful province of NB and the city of Moncton, with the workforce, with the community, and also with the taxes, so that in the future we have an even more beautiful city and with great services for your community. I will probably be arriving in mid 2023.
Hey Diego, thanks for this comment! Before this video I didn't know that Moncton was such an interest to Brazilians and I'm intrigued by it. There is plenty of opportunity in Atlantic Canada, without a doubt. The spotlight on Moncton still surprises me but it's exciting for sure. I hope the move works out for you and the province I've called home for nearly 19 years is all you could have hoped for!
@@nancypelosi480 , Hi Mrs. Pelosi, I hope you're all right. Yes, I agree, and all Brazilians I know who will go to New Brunswick have the same feeling and respect for Canadian culture, this is one of the reasons why we are leaving our homeland, to enjoy a better life, and contribute in every way possible, Canada is a secular and multicultural state, we have no intention of misrepresenting your culture, but of contributing, without abandoning our customs of our homeland too, which we will keep within our homes and our hearts.
@@OliverPriemer , Hi man, I hope you are well. Yes, the Province of New Brunswick is in the view of Brazilians, and believe me, there are not few, there are many, we have a lot of respect for the Canadian culture and a special affection for this beautiful province, in addition to that, respect and willingness to contribute, we have desire to learn, and not only to learn one of the official languages, but we also want to learn both languages, English and French. I think Portuguese will be the third unofficial language in the province.
Hi guys. I am very curious, what about Moncton makes it the most appealing for Brazilians to come? Is there a special immigration stream for getting a work visa or something? It be great to know so that I can share this to my Brazilian friends who want to come to Canada
Car jacking happens in every city across Canada....even here, yes it sucks but Moncton is no exception. Probably doesn't help that we dont have our own city police and only rely on the RCMP
People in N B where we are dont like you if you don't speak French. Signs, newspapers, everything in French only here. Hard to shop or get a job because of it. Feel very out of place here, might as well be in Yemen! The folks in Ontario didn't treat us this way. I am Canadian, our family is in NB so we retired here..... we didn't know NBers only like French speaking folks or we would not have come here. Thanks for making us feel unwelcome in our own country....
Just the other day was a report by a local economist who was saying there is now effectively NO rental housing available in Moncton. For a city thats growing there has been VERY little actual housing development. Thats in large part because the province is fairly small so has always been run by oligopolies, particularly in housing. A shortage of housing keeps rents high, thats not my opinion, thats what the economist said. Lots move to Moncton THINKING that its cheaper than other parts of canada, and if you know somebody or can crash somewhere then maybe thats an option but wages here are fairly low and rents increasing. NB often sees this when there is a perception of lower housing costs, but then after a year or two people head to ontario where there is housing problems, but at least more housing and higher wages. LIke most of the world, its a nice enough place to live IF you have money or skills. If not, then the rents are rising way faster than the minimum wage with not nearly the amenities you will find in larger cities. Many businesses are trying to get people here because they are having a harder time finding staff, but at the low end they don't pay well, so people don't tend to stick around long. However, best thing about Moncton is that it is becoming more diverse. Specialty food stores like those in ontario are popping up all over Moncton.
Fun fact: Moncton has 4x-8x more economic growth than any other city in NB and has been trading blows with Halifax in that front in the last decade. 2021 building permits exceeded 420 million vs Saint John 100 Million. In 2022 so far Moncton has surpassed 100 million Vs Saint John 30 million. *note theres about 6-8 downtown skyscrapers(10-25 stories) planned in the next 5-7 years and closer to a dozen total planned over the next decade. The city is about to explode in growth.
May I ask what field you are working? Your information is stunning. I moved from Toronto and think the future is very bright for Moncton. I saw a study that ranked Moncton as one of the world's top cities with a population around 100 000.
This has been my dream city and province for my sister and since she was denied a chance to immigrate there in 2019 she hopes to try again this or next year.
We are near Bathurst and noone likes us because we don't speak French. Very lonely feeling. We are Canadians with family here so we naturally retired here but we are not welcome. Signs, newspapers, etc all in French only. Hard to shop or get a job.
Hey I thought I seen you around town! Hopefully you had fun, But Moncton is not the best place to live with a lot of people stealing and the kidnapping that's been happening.
Uh, never heard about kidnapping any time, but certainly bicycle thefts in the downtown area are pretty common, but thats mostly in the downtown. It certianly has its share of poverty sadly.
@rps1689 ok "high-rise" then. 9+ are planned right behind main street 2 of which could be 20-30 stories. If you factor in the general dowtown area, that number increases to 15+ and if you count what moncton calls "downtown" (Saint-george to Assumtpiom blvd) The number increases to 25+. Once completed in the next decade, Moncton's downtown area will completely dwarf SJ or Fredericton. There's currently over a 2 years+ wait time just to access a construction crane ATM. Immigration numbers(excluding intra province migration) are up to nearly 5000 in 2022 alone. They can't build them fast enough.
@@marcgallant5270 I was talking to an electrician about a month ago that told me it is hard to keep electricians and carpenters on construction sites, and told me what his hourly wage was; I was shocked to find out it was about the same as I made drywalling back in the early 90s! No wonder I know so many NBers that are migrant workers going to ON, AB, and BC for "seasonal" work. From what I saw in Moncton last year, it appeared to have already made SJ and Fredericton look small.
@rps1689 SJ has a decent size Harbor project going, but it's taking forever, and the planned buildings are disappointing/small. As for laborers, it depends on which contractor you work for. Some are still old school(in a bad way), unerpaying, undervaluying their staff, but there's quite a few younger/newer ones slowly taking over with positive feedback.
@@rps1689 I think the problem is not that you can’t get nurses and doctors there. In general Canada needs to improve how immigrant professionals like doctors are trained and put into the workforce.
Idk what it is, but I’ve always found Moncton, and New Brunswick in general a bit… bland. I’m sure it’s a great place to live, but Moncton just seems a bit boring. But as a Nova Scotian it is still cool to see more people moving to the maritimes
Moncton is named in honor of Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Monckton (1726-1782), who captured Fort Beauséjour and took part in the deportation of the Acadians. It would be like naming a town Hitlerton, after Adolf Hitler.
@@MickersMind The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II, by a man named Hitler. ET Monkton did extermination too, doing the same thing by exterminating, i.e. putting the Acadians on rotten boats which inevitably had to sink or else arrive at places where the couples were initially separated so that the children and several Acadians, or were killed for NOTHING, just out of hatred, because they were neither English nor Anglicans and had not sworn allegiance to the British monarchy. You know the racist Orangemen who still parade in several parades in Canada even today. Did you know that in Canada in 1925, there were 70,000 Ku Klux Klan members in Canada.
Better at having worse air quality is the epitome of a captured state situation in modern times, in which a family essentially takes over making policy for government. After all it is the only “Company Province” in Canada, which has been quite a detriment to this province especially Saint John.
Victor Moncton New Brunswick has very large waterpark called Magic Mountain if it's still open when you get there I recommend checking it out. Moncton NB was my hometown once apon a time.
@@Rmrus Moncton NB has a very large waterpark called Magic Mountain I recommend you checking it out maybe it will be open when you get there. Moncton used to be my hometown
Moncton the rat capital of the maritimes. Moncton where homeless are sent on busses with one way ticket. Moncton where you cant leave your bike even locked. Moncton where no woman dares to walk alone after sunset. Moncton where you walk looking at the ground so you dont step on used needles. Moncton where they would rather spend millions on wall art and sculpters instead of helping the homeless.
Interesting social commentary: we have the same housing issues in popular tourist places in the UK, but often it's people with second homes renting them out on Air B&B who stop locals being able to afford first home. The COVID thing has made many people want to move out of the big metropolitan areas. I didn't know about NB being officially bi-lingual: today's educational takeaway. By the way, a boar making its way down the river twice a day would have been equally as interesting as the bore. 🙄
Looks like Moncton, New Brunswick needs millions of construction workers, architects and engineers, creating more houses, apartment buildings including tall apartments and business buildings. Even if Moncton, New Brunswick reached more than 1 million population in the future, that might happen as soon as possible.
NB reaching more than 1 million will take a lot of years, considering last year it only had a net migration rate of half of one percent; basically almost as many people are leaving as coming here.
Just in 2021 greater Moncton has 420 million + in building permits which is 4-8x more than any other city in the Maritimes (including Halifax). Tons of projects lined up for the next 5-10 years but there's not enough cranes available. For 3+ years there's been 8+ cranes active at all time.
@@rps1689 it IS relative, Moncton is literally growing at the same economic rate as a city 4-6 times the size (Halifax). That economic growth is on average 4-8x times higher than Saint John NB and at times 20 times. That is significant and nothing to scoff at. 2022 economic growth has past 520 million for Moncton while SJ didn't even break 50 million.
@@marcgallant5270 It will be interesting to see how this will effect locals in regards to housing an the already poor access to primary healthcare. If only NB could attract those really needed.
Moncton ain't a place that seems "nice" it's atucally one of the worse places in newbrunswick next to Saint John I've been here for 20 years almost 21 there's one side that's ok but the other side of moncton is terrible the crime rate has gone up alot so be safe out there🤷
Pretty sure the crime rate is higher in Saint John. But there is a lot more poverty in the downtown of Moncton than there used to be, and thats sad because Moncton has a government which doesn't seem to care at all about the poverty rate. But the crime rate is still mostly in thefts, so its not really true that its particularly 'dangerous'.
Moncton is no longer a safe place to live, in fact it ranks 3rd in crime in all of Canada! thanks to what’s being imported. After a long lockdown the once beautiful city of Moncton was no longer recognizable, it’s like visiting Somalia/India now. It’s a cesspool of a mess.
@@Tonyx.yt. What would New Brunswick and communities like Moncton do about labour shortage if we didn't welcome immigrants? I see signs up all over advertising their need for help. Young NB locals and "snowflakes" like me are hard in short supply. I struggle to see how immigrants from less developed countries automatically translates to Canadian communities becoming third world. I'd appreciate your insight
@@OliverPriemer many of them are not suitable for living in first world countries without bring crime, squallor and lowering overall quality of life. Add some "religion' like the one that kill infidels in order to fack 72 goats and you just add insult to injury. Is not about luring cheap manpower you solve the situation, or you can but not at the idiotic rate Canada his doing now and in past decades. My grandfather bought an home (not a room shader with strangers inside a rat infested basement) in Toronto doing manual labour, now with a comparable role you barely didnt starve to death living paycheck to paycked inside a basement. And ever cheaper provinces like NB are getting more and more expensive because real estate speculation is everywhere and is in fact the most detrimental burden on society in developed countries. Liberals want more immigrants for getting votes, capitalist want cheap manpower and real estate speculators want more peoples fighting for a roof over the head. Mass immigration is detrimental for every single common people, but again, snowflakes didnt get this, too busy getting fancy coffee at Starbucks (or Hortons if you prefer) and sitting on their ass "studing" liberal studies and bullshit like that, beign more concerned about chosing the right prinouns and not hurting the emotions of the next freaktard.

If you factor in the general dowtown area, that number increases to 15+ and if you count what moncton calls "downtown" (Saint-george to Assumtpiom blvd) The number increases to 25+. Once completed in the next decade, Moncton's downtown area will completely dwarf SJ or Fredericton. There's currently over a 2 years+ wait time just to access a construction crane ATM. Immigration numbers(excluding intra province migration) are up to nearly 5000 in 2022 alone. They can't build them fast enough.
@@marcgallant5270 I was talking to an electrician about a month ago that told me it is hard to keep electricians and carpenters on construction sites, and told me what his hourly wage was; I was shocked to find out it was about the same as I made drywalling back in the early 90s! No wonder I know so many NBers that are migrant workers going to ON, AB, and BC for "seasonal" work.
From what I saw in Moncton last year, it appeared to have already made SJ and Fredericton look small.
@rps1689 SJ has a decent size Harbor project going, but it's taking forever, and the planned buildings are disappointing/small. As for laborers, it depends on which contractor you work for. Some are still old school(in a bad way), unerpaying, undervaluying their staff, but there's quite a few younger/newer ones slowly taking over with positive feedback.
You are clearly tooting your horn.
Grocery is very expensive. You spend 60 percent more than Toronto.
I love English and French . I m from Mexico. I lived in Alberta and Saskatchewan. It was only English.
Do they speak English & French in Saint John too?
No...Saint John is essentially an English-speaking city.
Healthcare in the province of New Brunswick is a complete and total disaster.
Don't move there unless you're healthy and financially set.
It keeps getting worse.
And yet the government keeps giving away millions of our tax dollars to other countries why is that if our health care is such a mess nationally????
Healthcare will only
get better as more people move to the province and they have more work force
@@JohnDoe-zz4fk Nope. NB doesn't attract the human capital it really needs like that of doctors and RNs especially well experienced ones.
@@rps1689 I think the problem is not that you can’t get nurses and doctors there. In general Canada needs to improve how immigrant professionals like doctors are trained and put into the workforce.
Tidal bore in my culture is explained by the fact eel and lobster are fighting
How far is Moncton to Montreal by train?
~18 hours provided there aren’t any delays
Great video
Thanks
Thank you too!
Idk what it is, but I’ve always found Moncton, and New Brunswick in general a bit… bland. I’m sure it’s a great place to live, but Moncton just seems a bit boring. But as a Nova Scotian it is still cool to see more people moving to the maritimes
Yep. NB is relatively mundane.
I grew up in Moncton and it’s still an awesome town if you know where to go to find the action
It's the worst province along with Saskatchewan imo.
I'm about to move here in Jun,my new home❤❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤❤❤
me too

Exciting!! Welcome to New Brunswick
@@Rmrus Moncton has very large waterpark called Magic Mountain should be open when you move there. Was my hometown.
So handsome and informative
I thinking to move there , I work for CN railway
79,503 In 2022 and here we are 2 months into 2023 71,889 So 7,614 have moved away or passed away 🤷🏻 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
86000+ now in August 2024, Moncton only. Not counting growth in Dieppe & Riverview, together with Moncton "Greater Moncton"
If you are seriously ill in Canada, first go to church and PRAY. It will bring more and better results than a doctor.
Fredericton is a way nicer looking city!!

Is Moncton a safe city?
Moncton is named in honor of Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Monckton (1726-1782), who captured Fort Beauséjour and took part in the deportation of the Acadians. It would be like naming a town Hitlerton, after Adolf Hitler.
Except without a holocaust.
@@MickersMind The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II, by a man named Hitler. ET Monkton did extermination too, doing the same thing by exterminating, i.e. putting the Acadians on rotten boats which inevitably had to sink or else arrive at places where the couples were initially separated so that the children and several Acadians, or were killed for NOTHING, just out of hatred, because they were neither English nor Anglicans and had not sworn allegiance to the British monarchy. You know the racist Orangemen who still parade in several parades in Canada even today. Did you know that in Canada in 1925, there were 70,000 Ku Klux Klan members in Canada.
Been to Moncton and been to Saint John, Saint John is much better, by far!
Better at having worse air quality is the epitome of a captured state situation in modern times, in which a family essentially takes over making policy for government. After all it is the only “Company Province” in Canada, which has been quite a detriment to this province especially Saint John.
I`m Brazilian and I`m moving to mocton in the next 4 months! It`s an amazing place and has lot`s of easy immigration programs! see you there :-)
I'm moving there next month..
Hope to see you there in the future...
❤🇨🇦❤
I will be coming in December hopefully just for a visit. Hope to meet you
Glad to hear this😊
Victor Moncton New Brunswick has very large waterpark called Magic Mountain if it's still open when you get there I recommend checking it out. Moncton NB was my hometown once apon a time.
@@Rmrus Moncton NB has a very large waterpark called Magic Mountain I recommend you checking it out maybe it will be open when you get there. Moncton used to be my hometown
Moncton the rat capital of the maritimes. Moncton where homeless are sent on busses with one way ticket. Moncton where you cant leave your bike even locked. Moncton where no woman dares to walk alone after sunset. Moncton where you walk looking at the ground so you dont step on used needles. Moncton where they would rather spend millions on wall art and sculpters instead of helping the homeless.
I moved from Toronto one year ago. Moncton is at least 40 percent better quality of life
Interesting social commentary: we have the same housing issues in popular tourist places in the UK, but often it's people with second homes renting them out on Air B&B who stop locals being able to afford first home. The COVID thing has made many people want to move out of the big metropolitan areas. I didn't know about NB being officially bi-lingual: today's educational takeaway. By the way, a boar making its way down the river twice a day would have been equally as interesting as the bore. 🙄
Cause no one can afford Toronto
❤
I'm from Brazilian and my dream is live in Canada and married with a canadian girl! 🇧🇷❤🇨🇦
I wish you the best of luck!
@@OliverPriemer thank you very much!
Looks like Moncton, New Brunswick needs millions of construction workers, architects and engineers, creating more houses, apartment buildings including tall apartments and business buildings. Even if Moncton, New Brunswick reached more than 1 million population in the future, that might happen as soon as possible.
NB reaching more than 1 million will take a lot of years, considering last year it only had a net migration rate of half of one percent; basically almost as many people are leaving as coming here.
Just in 2021 greater Moncton has 420 million + in building permits which is 4-8x more than any other city in the Maritimes (including Halifax). Tons of projects lined up for the next 5-10 years but there's not enough cranes available. For 3+ years there's been 8+ cranes active at all time.
@@marcgallant5270 Nothing to brag about. There are suburbs elsewhere in the country with more active cranes and building permits. It's all relative.
@@rps1689 it IS relative, Moncton is literally growing at the same economic rate as a city 4-6 times the size (Halifax). That economic growth is on average 4-8x times higher than Saint John NB and at times 20 times. That is significant and nothing to scoff at. 2022 economic growth has past 520 million for Moncton while SJ didn't even break 50 million.
@@marcgallant5270 It will be interesting to see how this will effect locals in regards to housing an the already poor access to primary healthcare. If only NB could attract those really needed.
Moncton ain't a place that seems "nice" it's atucally one of the worse places in newbrunswick next to Saint John I've been here for 20 years almost 21 there's one side that's ok but the other side of moncton is terrible the crime rate has gone up alot so be safe out there🤷
Which side?
Pretty sure the crime rate is higher in Saint John. But there is a lot more poverty in the downtown of Moncton than there used to be, and thats sad because Moncton has a government which doesn't seem to care at all about the poverty rate. But the crime rate is still mostly in thefts, so its not really true that its particularly 'dangerous'.
Honestly, Bathurst is better by a kilometer
Bro 90% of Moncton is safe😂. Don’t go into weird places and it’s grest
Let’s be real - Fredericton is the gem of New Brunswick
your full of of it ,timmins and most city in northern Ontario speek both languages
Nb is the worst please in Canada
Freddystownbaby
Omg I'm I dieppe
Moncton is no longer a safe place to live, in fact it ranks 3rd in crime in all of Canada! thanks to what’s being imported. After a long lockdown the once beautiful city of Moncton was no longer recognizable, it’s like visiting Somalia/India now. It’s a cesspool of a mess.
Please don’t ever post your racist, xenophobic dump of an opinion on one of my videos ever again.
import third world >>> become third world
@@OliverPriemer snowflake
@@Tonyx.yt. What would New Brunswick and communities like Moncton do about labour shortage if we didn't welcome immigrants? I see signs up all over advertising their need for help. Young NB locals and "snowflakes" like me are hard in short supply. I struggle to see how immigrants from less developed countries automatically translates to Canadian communities becoming third world. I'd appreciate your insight
@@OliverPriemer many of them are not suitable for living in first world countries without bring crime, squallor and lowering overall quality of life.
Add some "religion' like the one that kill infidels in order to fack 72 goats and you just add insult to injury.
Is not about luring cheap manpower you solve the situation, or you can but not at the idiotic rate Canada his doing now and in past decades.
My grandfather bought an home (not a room shader with strangers inside a rat infested basement) in Toronto doing manual labour, now with a comparable role you barely didnt starve to death living paycheck to paycked inside a basement.
And ever cheaper provinces like NB are getting more and more expensive because real estate speculation is everywhere and is in fact the most detrimental burden on society in developed countries.
Liberals want more immigrants for getting votes, capitalist want cheap manpower and real estate speculators want more peoples fighting for a roof over the head.
Mass immigration is detrimental for every single common people, but again, snowflakes didnt get this, too busy getting fancy coffee at Starbucks (or Hortons if you prefer) and sitting on their ass "studing" liberal studies and bullshit like that, beign more concerned about chosing the right prinouns and not hurting the emotions of the next freaktard.
Hot dude 😍
Nah Saint George be better
