This is my reaction to Most Underrated Cities in Canada
In this video I react to Canada travel, Canada geography and lifestyle in Canada by looking at the most underrated Canadian cities.
Original Video - • Where The Most Underra...
As someone who lives in Saskatoon, I think it is incredibly underrated. It has an amazing music scene, so many fun festivals throughout the year and still a reasonable commute for people who have to drive. Love this place
Roughriders should move to Saskatoon.
My brother lived there. Nice city. Very peaceful feeling.
And the river is underrated as well. Meewasin is awesome.
@@wendigo53Bro the Roughriders have been in Regina for 100 years they use to be called the Regina Roughriders. Its hilarious that people in Saskatoon think the riders are their team.
Oh it's actually overrated as all hell moved there for school and it was a big mistake the river valley is nice but not unique to Canada the crime and poverty is vastly too much for a city of that size and it's extremely isolated.
I was raised in "the prettiest town in Canada" according to Queen Victoria.
The small-town of Goderich Ontario,we have the most unique town center in all of Canada. Our main street is an octagon full of shops that are around the outside and the county courthouse in the middle.
The largest francaphone population outside quebec is manitoba, there are numerous french towns and a french univesity in StBoniface which is a french town which became a part of metro winnipeg
We also have French immersion schools city wide, not just St. B.
Ontario has 750,00 Franco-Ontarians and it the largest number of french speakers outside of Quebec, New Brunswick has the highest percentage outside of Quebec.
I grew up in Quebec as an anglophone. The last 2 Friday nights in Montreal there have been VIOLENT pro-Palestinian riots. You don’t just learn French, you are legally obligated. If you immigrate to Quebec your child will not be allowed to attend English public school. Private school is very expensive but possible. You might be able to get a job in Quebec but rest assured your computer’s operating system will be in French and your employer will communicate with you in French, there is nothing that legally obligates them to speak or communicate in writing with you in English. Same goes for health care, French first and depending on hospital sometimes French only. While it’s a beautiful province the language politics is exhausting and I now live in Ontario.
i left Ottawa in 1961 and there was no service Federally in French. Now it's all I hear in the capital. Seems the tyranny is just reversed. What does THAT solve??
@ the Official Languages Act for Canada was passed in 1969 and the Charter of French Language was passed in Quebec in 1977. Note: I’m advocating for the publisher of the video to be aware of this as he said he was thinking of movie to Montreal. The video he is reviewing is not taking into consideration the realities of living in a city in Quebec
The British and their descendants just love destroying non-English languages don't they?
Anyone considering a move to Canada needs to take a good look at the seasonal conditions in the city they are considering. Canada is huge, and differences in min/max temps, amounts of snow/rain, etc etc vary greatly. Every province has its pros and cons, and while the cons for most places can be manageable for most, winters can be a deal breaker in the places that get hit hard. (Vancouver laughs smugly sipping a $10 latte in their 350sqf apt. for the low cost of $2k/month as cars are abandoned in the middle of the street because 1cm of snow is a catastrophe.)
Rent just went up a day ago to 3,000 a month, and the apts. are so small (how small are they) theat each comes with a japanese girlfriend included.
It all depends on what you do for a living.Also city life compared to a more rural setting, etc. The choices here in Canada are huge. I live in Winnipeg, but most of my friends / family have moved a bit out of the city. I have a friend in Winnipeg Beach, a small community, on the shore of a HUGE lake.Cost of living , and buying a house there is well under all national averages. Unless you work remote, though, you have to drive just over an hour to reach the city.
Move out of the country if you can. Canada is really not worth it. Mexico or Malaysia is much better. Heck, even Argentina is better and they have some pretty big issues.
@@noseboop4354 I grew up across the Lake from your friend, in Lester Beach (just north of Grand Beach) and I'm likely moving back there next year.
Alberta is probably the most dynamic province in terms of job opportunities, growth and stability.
The days of oil boom and bust are in the past as the Alberta economy has diverisfied exponentially in the last decade or so.
Wages are among the highest in North America and housing prices are starting to reflect that. There is no provincial sales tax or bridge/road tolls.
The hidden silver lining is that the two largest cities, Calgary and Edmonton are surrounded by bedroom communities well within commuting distance where housing is much more affordable.
If you like to get out and take in nature, Alberta has an abundance of parks and recreational areas, lakes, rivers and deserts along with the Rocky Mountains to explore.
Montreal is a nice city but the Francophone population has become increasingly zenophobic regarding the presence of English speaking people and appears to be getting worse through government mandates. I've heard mixed opinions from Anglophones who live in Quebec.
Nova Scotia is a beautiful province with an abundance of natural beauty and real estate outside of the major centers is very affordable...for now. The job market has been historically tight and the cost of living regarding essentials like groceries is high.
The NS economic projections have been relatively stagnant for a long time and in fact received nearly 3 billion dollars in "equalization" payments during the 2023 / 24 fiscal years. Without these "transfer" payments, infrastructure, government and social services would simply collapse.
the Maritimes has been on Federal welfare since the days of the tall ships. Alberta?? You're kidding. It's the only American state outside the USA with ALL the USA type problems. Sprawl, commuting, minus forty below in a high wind, and freedom fry Trump voters. Did two 'tours" in Afghanis..........I mean Calgary. Went to school in Edmonton. Red Deer isn't TOO bad. lots of lonely young housewives with absent husbands.
Sshhhhhhh!!!
Alberta is great, as long as you're not indigenous. Or have a womb. Or dark skinned. Or believe in any religion that isn't devoted to Jesus.
I forgot about the University Towns which have so many of the cultural advantages unexpected in smaller areas. Both Antigonish NS (St. Francis Xavier) and Wolfville NS (Acadia University) are great places to live for vitality & culture, live theater and music. Both areas have better hospitals and both universities do major life changing research. Antigonish is home to a major international Institute, CODY, which is vital to Nova Scotia's place in the world. If I were young again I would consider either community as home base. I trust this is helpful and anyone moving from the UK will feel at home with the great improvements to the highway system and round abouts. 🙂
My daughter went to Acadia University and it was the best decision she could have made. Its a very safe, small knit community filled with kind people and nature. She made lifelong friends and she absolutely thrived there. Its a stunning area of Nov Scotia!
Sackville New Brunswick is a similar place near those. It's the home of Mount Allison University but is also just a small town.
Fredericton and Halifax both also have high class Universities, for a more Urban/City feel to them as well, while still having the Maritime Charms.
@@Taeolas Yes. I'm from the maritimes. All of the universities you mentioned are also fantastic.
Québec has many university towns that are surprisingly nice (when it comes to culture and diversity). Sherbrooke, Rimouski, Trois-Rivières, etc.
I moved from Winnipeg to Morris but I'm retired. Cheaper and quieter. If I was still working there are several smaller affordable towns within a 30 min drive.
Montreal is Truly Awesome
Great place to visit, would not not to live there
@@CrDa-i7eI did many moons ago. It was different.
Montreal is not underrated it is overrated
A little city named “Nelson, British Columbia “ 💜
Small, quaint, funky, artistic, welcoming 💕
Wasn’t Roxanne filmed there? The old Steve Martin movie? 🍿
Not many jobs and very expensive.
@@timmytwodogs Government and railway jobs; huge coin. Or grow pot on any sunny hillside.
the first city in North America (I predict) that will be all women and golden retrievers.
@ 😆
I lived in a place called Shediac in New Brunswick. If I didn't have to move for work I would've loved to live there still.
It was on the ocean and had nice beaches. The people are friendly and since you liked learning a new language. Shediac is a majority french speaking town. It has all the basics you'd want and great internet (multiple gig fibre options). It's close to a bigger city (Moncton). IT's a great place.
The nicest cities in Canada are Halifax and Vancouver.
Montreal looks great if you don't mind learning french.
I grew up in Vancouver, but Montreal is epic. I am moving there next year. 🙃🙃
Start to learn French as respect to the natives .
They’ll look at you like you have a leg growing out of your forehead if you try and speak English to them though (even though they can understand you). And yes, I’ve been there many times.
@trappenweisseguy27 If you feel granted that everybody should be able to speak English a french speaking society. For sure. No effort to use at last a french word
I have friends who cannot leave Ontario because as seniors the health care doesn't have enough medical specialists for their issues.
Even young people. I live in northern Alberta and the healthcare is abysmal here. Lack of doctors and care
You can in theory work in Halifax, commute daily, and live in Truro or the Annapolis Valley. Or within the Eastern Shore or South Shore. It is possible and not as expensive to find housing. A lot of this depends on your age, health, and the temperament of the individual as traffic entering and leaving the city is like many other metro areas. So much of the charm of Halifax is its history and location, being so much older then Western Canadian Cities. The University life adds tremendous vitality and yes Halifax is growing fast. In all of this don't forget Sydney NS which after stagnation is beginning to grow. A new medical school at Cape Breton University and a major cancer treatment & research centre may well see the bio-medical sector take off. Nova Scotia is expected to double its population in the next 30 years which will see major growth in her 2 largest cities.
I commute 40 minutes into downtown Halifax and I wouldn't change it for anything. I think Nov Scotia is absolutely beautiful.
If you are interested in learning another language (French) but want the option to access all your services in English, I would consider Ottawa. It is a beautiful city with lots of bike access, museums, outdoor spaces, shops etc. It is much more affordable than Vancouver (also beautiful) and your family could have a better quality of life.
I have lived in Montreal and Toronto but I now live in Ottawa. I love them all but I am very happy I moved to Ottawa. It’s a city of a million people so it has all the advantages of that but it’s also made up of charming neighbourhoods. Very walkable. Very bilingual. Great place for families.
Port Elgin Ontario is a little beach community 2.5 hours NW of Toronto - total hidden gem.
I agree, lovely area.
I've lived in many cities in Ontario, a town in New Brunswick and a small town in Quebec, and my favourite city is Hamilton in Ontario. I'd move back there in a minute. It is just such a great place with an amazing sense of community.
There are dozens of cities across Southern Ontario, mild winters, hot summers, especially in Southwestern ON. Here in Kitchener/Waterloo, the Silicon Valley of the north, we have everything, surrounded by beautiful small towns, 5G internet, 1 hour drive to Niagara Falls, 90 minutes to Toronto, Canadas Wonderland, etc. Toronto area is crazy, but Southern ON has it all.
hot, HUMID summers ; a real deal breaker pour moi. Never again.
She didn't really cover any municipalities other than Montreal and Halifax. This was actually about average provincial house prices. There are so many other cities to consider.
and so many other costs to consider other than housing prices.
yeah after the third provincial drop I just stopped watching. clickbait title is clickbait.
Well we know only Ontario is Canada... Lol I live here now it's sad how many know nothing of anywhere else.
@@valwhelan3533most the time it's irrelevant. I mean housing has rocketed in even the lowest populated regions unless you're quite far out.
But personally I'd never live in Toronto or Vancouver. Im not a fan of the whole ignorant mentality of big cities either so I'd hate that.
If you work remotely then skip the top 10 large cities and consider municipalities that are 10k-200k in population. There are >120 of them around the country and all are absolute gems to visit or live in: Kingston, Guelph, Saguenay, Trois Rivieres, Moncton, Saint John, Peterborough, Lethbridge, Kamloops, Nanaimo, Chilliwack, Belleville, Fredericton, Drummondville, Red Deer, Sarnia, Granby, Sault Ste Marie, Medicine Hat, North Bay, Vernon, Grand Prairie, Courtenay, Cornwall, Brandon, Rimouski, Shawinigan, Duncan, Penticton, Woodstock, Truro, Prince Albert, Timmins, Campbell River, Moose Jaw, Saint Georges, New Glasgow, Orillia, Stratford, Owen Sound, Whitehorse, Brockville, Parksville, Okotoks, Alma, Corner Brook, Midland, Sept-Iles, Miramachi, Cranbrook, Kentville, Port Alberni, Wasaga Beach, Collingwood, Squamish, Quesnel, Cobourg, Salmon Arm, Terrace, Nelson, Camrose, Swift Current, Matane, Petawawa, Summerside, Port Hope, Sylvan lake, Canmore, Ladysmith, Kenora, Strathmore, High River, Trail, Hawkesbury, Almonte, Perth, Goderich, etc.
Montreal is beautiful, but famously inhospitable to non-French people. Quebec language laws have been a big deal over the years.
Lots of towns nationwide now have good internet, so it’s really opened Canada up to new housing possibilities. Just prepare for winter, whatever you choose 😉🥶❄️
New Brunswick also has a French community - the Acadian (as well as parts of Cape Breton).
Montréaler here.
If Canada is ends up being your next move, and if you prefer to live in a major city, I would highly recommend Montreal. Don’t worry too much about the language.not only you’ll learn, but if you and your wife work online for example … it really won’t be THAT BIG of a deal 😊
There are many smaller towns in Ontario where the cost of living is not nearly that of Toronto (or even Ottawa) which are very liveable towns. I used to live in one such small town and commute to Ottawa every day for work.
Windsor might be underated.
Those numbers must be somewhat out of date. Just had a visit from my niece who is a new prof at McGill in Montreal and discussed her looking for a house to buy. Prices have started to go up quite a bit recently. She did her Master’s in Toronto which was crazy expensive and rent was much lower when she did her PhD in Montreal but she says the disparity is narrowing now.
The Canadian government have legalized a variety of street drugs, which has resulted in a surge of addiction and homelessness. One goal the gov’t had in legalizing hard drugs was to not stigmatize addicts. Most all communities in Canada now have a problem that isn’t currently being adequately addressed. Great country, but not all rosy.. I hope things get better after our next election.
You couldn't pay me to live in Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal just because of the traffic alone. Absolutely nuts. I've done it, I've lived it but never again.
The only big city I would consider in Canada to live (again) would be Ottawa. It has so much to offer and I find most of the people there very friendly and approachable. If you wanted to immerse yourself in the French language and culture, just move across the bridge onto the Quebec side and live in wonderful Gatineau. Another amazing place that deserves more attention.
Cheers.
I live about an hour and a half from the Toronto city limits, and I haven't crossed them in years. The angry psycho drivers start 50 km from there.
Consider living near the metro station for your daily commute and close enough to the highways for weekend road trips and groceries. Ottawa is a nice city but very bland. 9to5 work maybe 1 hour of happy hour then drive home. Not much to do in terms of variety of activities.
@@ngoctruongpaulnguyen6503 wrong. Tons to do in and around Ottawa. You can be in the Gatineau mountains in minutes. Great boating, longest rink in the world. It is literally the Capital of Canada so it offers 10 pounds of sugar in a five pound sack when it comes to museums and the like. Great markets, teams, history, night life, schools, pubs and buildings and programs that are only offered in the Nation's capital. And all in a very pretty and well kept city with nowhere near the sea of people and traffic as in the other major centers I mentioned. Unless your idea of fun are tons of after hours night clubs, Ottawa has tons to offer.
Hey Mert, Wicked "Fish & Chips" here in Nova Scotia, "Johns Lunch" ( Dartmouth) a "have to Eat" place!!
Hi Mert, if you consider Montreal, you can get a house outside the island for a good 100k less than on the island.
You may want to look into Gatineau, Québec
It's the butt of many jokes, but Winnipeg is a great city, and during the spring and summer months it's the festival capital of the country. Also outside of Quebec the largest French community in Canada is in Winnipeg - St. Boniface, around 100,000 people.
In Manitoba, there are plenty of beautiful places to live outside of Winnipeg., like Portage la Prairie, Brandon or Dauphin. Brandon is very multicultural and has a great university and a huge college.
Kingston Ontario looks appealing. It's a university town, military academy, and military bases.
Love Kingston - very historic buildings, beautiful waterfront.\.
@@valwhelan3533 A nice size of city, in a lovely location.
A seagull shit on my head when I was at Fort Henry, but I never let that affect my opinion of the place.
Hey Mert, there is always Nova Scotia, Properties for sale 30min outside Halifax, or Cape Breton, Hy-lands, lots of land was just left in oil "Rush" of 80s-90s and early 2000s when guys went west!! In Halifax, housing Expensive!! 😀👌👍✌(No Snow On Ground Yet!) Lol! Cheers!
I'd highly recommend Montreal. Fantastic everything. Winter is snowy and cold but I quite liked it personally. French is an obstacle for some but it just takes a little effort. Other hidden gems? There are loads but my favourites are Halifax, Kelowna, and Victoria.
this is going to be very unpopular, but my answer in Winnipeg. yeah its not the best city in the country, i dont think anyone will say that, but its also not the shithole that other canadians make it out to be. for people that love the outdoors (NHL player Alex Iafallo is a good example) its a pretty good place to live. The city is "major" enough and if you go like 30 mins outside the city, ur into basically untapped nature
Even Kenora has come of age: I remember when cart horses delivered milk and there weren't sidewalks. Now?? major destination .
If you're a sports fan you have to live in a major city with an NHL team, if you have a favourite Canadian team move to that city. Weather is a big consideration, Vancouver is expensive, the next best Province for nice weather year round is PEI but there's not much to do there, it's like travelling back in time 100 years.
I live in Manitoba, not too far from Winnipeg. I agree we have a pretty good situation overall and are often overlooked. I will tell you the truth here, if I'm talking with people from outside of Manitoba, I like to play along with the popular belief that it sucks here. I don't want a bunch of people from Toronto realizing how much better we have it and deciding to move here in large numbers. So tell everyone you know that Manitoba sucks!
It’s not that Winnipeg sucks. There’s a ton of stuff to do there. It’s that your mosquito population sucks. And it gets freezing ass cold. I still remember a nice -10 in February would feel warm😂
There is a lot of space in Canada. There’s a temporary bubble due to the pandemic but it’s getting fixed.
I bought 5 acres for 38,000 in northern BC. The same type of property is 60,000 minimum now.
If you want to be a homesteader, Canada has a lot of cheap land where nobody cares what you do, and there are no regulations to follow.
PEI's house prices are due in large part to young'ish retirees from costlier provinces. Their home sale proceeds let them pay cash for a far less expensive home in beautiful surroundings. Demand has led to a sharp jump in PEI prices.
Also the vacation rentals/airbnb. Great place to visit in the summer but I've had friends move back to New Brunswick because of housing scarcity/lack of affordable long-term rentals.
I live a 3 hour drive north of Toronto, in a small city, 50,000 pop. nestled between 2 lakes, average home price $450,000, has highway, train, and air service to Toronto, has a university, and a new hospital
That’s a lot of money for 8 months of winter per year.
North Bay ON
@@trappenweisseguy27 North Bay doesn't have long winters. It's a very scenic area.
@@trappenweisseguy27 Haven't had snow since April, got a very light dusting on the weekend, that's 7 months without snow, some years are worse, but that's pretty much average.
@@njam101 I hear the highway is closed, apparently they got some snow down south
I noticed that Brampton did not get discussed.
I wouldn't be surprised that by the year 2100 Prince Edward Island will look like Manhattan. Currently it's a nice little farming/fishing province. The winters aren't very bad, comparable to South-Western Ireland, which is why a lot of Irish settlers preferred the island life to the mainland.
Around 30% of the population is of Irish descent, it's where my grandmother's (dad's side) family first settled around the mid 1770s, a decade or so after the Brits took what was then called Isle St-Jean from the French in The 7 Years War. The Irish are why PEI is mostly known for it's potato farms, it's our own private Idaho.
Love your channel Mert. Merci .
There are a lot of people who speak English in Montreal (e.g., compared to other cities in Quebec) so you won't be completely hung out to dry while you're trying to learn French.
Most of the population is bilingual, or even trilingual.
Montreal has always been reasonable until the last five years. As an immigrant to Quebec, your kids would have no choice but to go to French school unless you enroll them in private school for a lot of money.
In 2024 PEI has about 180,000 not 150,000 there has been a lot of migration here in the last ten years about 3,000 people per year. I see it in the amount of people, cars, new faces. My guess is 75% of people are all in the capital city so yeah about 90,000 maybe not 135,000 but it feels like it in the Charlottetown/Stratford/Cornwall urban area. You'd be lucky to find a one room apartment and if you did you'll be paying $2,000/month.
It's a shame she basically skipped over New Brunswick, since it is often seen as the "Forgotten Province" (in many ways it's similar to Saskatchewan too, in that it's the overlooked province of its region). It's also Canada's only Bilingual province, so French and English discussions (And Franglais conversations) are very common.
New Brunswick itself is somewhat unique in that it has 3 dominant cities for a population of under 1M (about 850k now). All 3 of its main cities are doing quite well and have their perks and disadvantages. While they aren't huge cities, they are all growing and provide a lot of services , and are close to Halifax for what is often lacking. They are all also within about 90 minutes drive of each other, so they somewhat act as 1 larger city in some ways, while each having their own distinctive feels and appeals.
Moncton is the biggest city. Known as the "Hub City" due to its location basically where Nova Scotia, PEI and New Brunwick meet, it's also a very bilingual city, with strong French / Acadian roots, but a strong English culture too. It's proportionally one of the fastest growing cities in the province, with a population just under 200k right now and about to break through that milestone. Industry wise it's got a lot of tech industry, and is a MAJOR shipping hub in general. It's also got a strong retail sector and a strong entertainment background too.
Saint John is NB's second biggest city, and one of the oldest in the country. It's got a population around 150k and had some doldrums but it's finally perking up. It's a strong industrial city, with Canada's largest oil refinery, and a strong shipping industry (It's the second biggest port in the Maritimes) and has some strong rail connections to the US as well.
Fredericton is NB's capital city and the smaller of the Big 3, but still doing well (It's also where I live). It's economy is based on 3 pillars: Education (2 major Universities), Government (Capital city) and Military (CFB Gagetown is right next door, (Second Largest Base in Canada). It's also got a strong Tech industrial sector (which is where I'm involved in). The city itself is growing fast, and having some growing pains, but is appealing for many due to its Big Town feel with (Small) city amenities.
Outside of the Big 3, there are 4 more smaller cities (~20-50k populations) to the North that are more Acadian in history that are also doing quite well. And a number of large towns across the region that also are doing well. (Shediac, Sackville, St Stephen, Woodstock, etc... )
So yeah, NB is often underrated, but it's been growing a lot and starting to get a lot of attention.
Come to Sorel-Tracy Quebec. Affordable housing, 40 min from Montreal, 3GB internet and has everything you need.
I spent a winter in Montreal. I live in Vancouver now. I'm fine paying a premium to live in Canada's Riviera.
Weather-wise we're more Northern Adriatic, than Riviera. Just more winter rain.
@@michaeldowson6988 Yeah, but Canada's Northern Adriatic doesn't sound as sexy.
@@SPAMDAGGER22 Venice & Trieste would appeal more to me than a hyper-market like Monaco
@@SPAMDAGGER22😂
We also call it the banana belt, the Pineapple Express, etc (this includes Victoria)
If you ever come to Winnipeg, just know that if someone ever says “hey buddy” and they ain’t your buddy… RUN
I'd argue that even in BC and Ontario there is plenty of affordable housing. Toronto and some of the Greater Toronto area are very expensive which makes the Ontario market seem super bad. Ottawa can be expensive, but it's nowhere near as bad as Toronto. And in BC, it's Vancouver and some of the surrounding areas like Kamloops and Kelowna that is skyrocketing the numbers. But there is a lot of other smaller cities and towns in those Provinces where the housing market is very reasonable. I live in Ontario, and my city has one of the most affordable housing markets in all of Canada.
you haven't been in BC for awhile. about 2015 your information went south: there are virtually NO leases anywhere in the province. and nothing affordable. Time to make the Homestead Act great again.
What this video doesnt show you is that only 10 years ago you could have bought a really nice home right on the ocean in New Brunswick for 30 thousand. Houses are now 10 times as much or more. Even here in Northern Ontario you can still buy a house for under a hundred thousand and I know because we bought our house 3 years ago for 89 thousand.
Cost of living is scary anytime you move to anywhere in Canada but you can deal with it
With the current provincial government in AB I have zero desire to live there. Manitoba and New Brunswick boast strong French communities if you want to live in an area that you can learn French and still commicate in English.
Not many can survive here.
Has the most beautiful scenery though
(Winky Smile) 😜
ruclips.net/video/xCWfJvDmQ9Q/видео.htmlsi=s-AteXLDvugB_Yqz
I would think with that attitude they wouldn't want you there and are glad you would stay away.
Nova Scotia in Acadian places can be very interesting
Try the Similkameen Valley British Columbia.
Well I would have to recommend Drummondville Quebec....no bias there whatsoever lol
I've lived in the suburbs of Montreal my whole life. As an English speaking Canadian it's pretty annoying watching the Quebec government wasting my taxes on trying to wipe out the English language, calling itself a nation even though it is a province of Canada.
In Rome do as Romans do. This is called respect . It is your problem if you have chosen the wrong language in the wrong province
it is a nation ! It is recognized Canada as a distinct Nation.
@@christofat2704 Fuck you buddy, I was born here, I didn't choose the wrong province, this is CANADA !
@@christofat2704 and they"re not respecting English, they're trying to get rid of it, with my taxes !
@@kevindohn6776 Too bad for you. The federal Govt say that the only official language of Québec is french. You have just chosen the wrong language in the wrong province. Thank you to show your ignorance
The cities that get disrespected such as Winnipeg and Regina are underrated places not great when comparing it to cities like Montreal or Amsterdam but they're not as bad as people say. But the cities that get positive reviews (mainly from locals) such as Saskatoon or Calgary are severely overhyped. Terribly designed cities with terrible public transport (car centric) very very car centric and have low tree density are not great cities. And the food and night life are extremely overrated in both cities. They have so much potential if locals didn't believe there shit didn't stink they could fix the issues that are so glaringly obvious.
If you moved to Nova Scotia (New Scotland) you would at least sound like you lived there all your life.
The fact that you live somewhere underated should make you feel better. At least you know that no one will move there to mess up your peace.
I live now in the last affordable area in BC with pretty much zero crime, and i'm not telling anyone where i am. never thought I'd leave the coast. end of an era. Black bears are still wandering around town this week, so kick out the big dogs and make this town "bear safe" for the bears!!! never ONE recorded bear attack, ever.
Well, that was a really poorly done video, lol. 80% of her criteria was based on housing prices, with a little smattering of consideration for employment opportunities. As others have stated, the climate/weather in Canada varies significantly, so you HAVE to take that into consideration. And what about things like crime and poverty? I'm in Winnipeg, where we are one of the coldest larger cities in North America, as well as typically being the Child Poverty Capital of Canada, the Murder Capital of Canada, and with a crime rate going through the roof.
Winnipeg’s bureaucracy creates hurdles that drive businesses and new industry away. In fact, We remain the only city in Canada with a business tax, further discouraging investment.
Our homicide rate in 2023 was more than double that of most other Canadian cities, with 46 homicides recorded. Aggravated assaults, robberies, and sexual assaults have all increased significantly year-over-year. Crimes involving knives, firearms, and other weapons are also on the rise. Youth crimes involving weapons have doubled since 2021.
Underrated . . . ? Really??? I wish these kinds of videos actually did some due diligence instead of grabbing easy to find stats to create a story that ultimately is just about getting views and monetizing the content . . .
If you are thinking of moving to Canada, I would highly recommend moving to Western Canada (mostly the three prairie provinces AB, SK, MB) . Taxation is decisively lower, work is more available and the provinces, in general, will fight for their local population against an ever increasingly controlling federal government.
You would be considered an “outsider” if you settle in Quebec. They are very cliquish and more racist than other parts of Canada. Plus the language barrier.
no wonder they are right to people who do not make the effort to learn French. In Rome do as Romans do this is called respect.
The cheapest house is a poor way to index where to live. A cardboard box in an alley is very cheap but not really where you want to raise your kids. Living in Saskatchewan makes the box look good. Finding something you could afford in a place like Kamloops, Kelowna, or Nelson would be a way better strategy. Though, I'd guess employment will probably make this decision for you mostly?
you need a medical or government job in all three of those cities. mills are closing down hard. A few railroad jobs but big coin is not going to happen otherwise.
Winnipeg!
I live in northern Alberta, I can barely afford to live and save. I rent. 80% of my wage goes to rent. I’m barely surviving.
What's about culture ,charm and history?
I wonder if she knows the capital of Newfoundland. It's expensive here but average price of a house is about same as the maritime provinces.
Canadian here. Women are protected, and have bodily-autonomy, though the right-wing is trying the same crap here as in the US, so watch that. As for gems, in Nova Scotia, I'd recommend looking at anything in Cape Breton, it's gorgeous. Newfoundland also has some really nice towns. Anything on the prairies you want to be careful of. The crime in some places is just off the chain. Do some major research on anything in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. And also, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are basically Canada's bible-belt. Alberta is the worst that way, in my opinion. I've lived in nine of ten provinces, and my favourites were the Maritimes, and BC. Only province I haven't lived in is PEI, but I visited often enough that I feel that I did.
Most parts of the Maritimes have the friendliest people. Like, within five minutes of meeting you, they've known you for your entire life, they're expecting you for dinner tonight, and if you nod at the wrong time, you might also be engaged to a local lady, or a cod. It's complicated. Just smile, and ask people to speak slowly for you. They do talk pretty fast, and their accents can be a challenge.
You win the internet today for the most obtuse comments I've read in a while. Your attitude and judgmental opinions are probably why you've had to move all over the place. People hear you speak and scatter. Wow!
@@dnormore1814 you sound like you fornicated yourself with a cactus.
Have you had a look at how parts of the world regard women? In the US right now, the "manosphere" and the incels (whom I think you may share DNA with) are delighted at the return of misogyny. So how about you stuff your head back into whatever orifice you pulled it out of?
Housing is expensive enough as it is. Please leave the small cities alone. They already have enough problems.
Ce n'est pas le temps de migrer au Canada. Le gouvernement a accueilli trop de migrants trop vite. Les services et infrastructures n'ont pas grandit au même rythme. Il y a d'énormes problèmes avec l'habitation, la santé, la francisation, etc. Souhaitons que ça se rétablisse relativement rapidement car nous avons besoin de vous. Une grand-mère du Québec ❤
Halifax is very dear to my heart for many reasons but Montreal is much cooler.
🏔🤠🐎❤👍🤔😉Calgary.
The economy of Canada is a complete disaster. There’s not enough jobs for everybody. Thanks to the failures of prime Minister Trudeau, so I wouldn’t move there at all
All of canada is expensive!!!!!!!!!
Declining per capita income, inflation, a weakening currency, anti-Semitism (esp. in Montreal), a postal strike ... what's not to like?
What does anti-semitism even mean? Palestinians are Semites. Most Jews are not.
Moosomin, Saskatchewan's economy is booming to the point where there isn't enough homes for the workers. The city is paying anyone $30,000 if they build their own home plus an $8,000 per unit if someone builds a multi-family home.
I was in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia a few years ago and the economy is not wonderful. If a person can work from home or start a business that would be the place to do so. Tatamagouche needs one more of everything. When I was there a few years ago, a 2 bedroom - 1 bathroom home with garage and outbuildings on 15 acres of land was selling for $115,000 in total. A person would need a vehicle because it is an extremely rural area.
I live in Winnipeg and have friends in Saskatoon. They have told me that Saskatoon home prices are much higher than Winnipeg's. Winnipeg has a very active arts scene but the crime level is extremely high.
If I wanted to build a new life in a new country, I would choose Moosomin from these 4 places. But that is just my opinion.
One more thing about Moosomin, if you wanted to learn a new language - you could probably learn Ukrainian. There are many people of Ukrainian heritage in Saskatchewan and I know there are several Ukrainian refugees there from the current war. Or possibly an Aboriginal language. If your children are in school, they will probably learn some French.
Those of Ukrainian heritage, if they do speak any Ukrainian, will have a different dialect than the refugees. The immigrants mostly came from Galicia, which is now western Ukraine but back then was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, around the turn of the last century. Many, if not most of the refugees are coming from eastern Ukraine. I met one young woman from Lviv who could understand some of the language I remember from my grandparents, but many who couldn't understand what I was saying at all.
Still, they share a common heritage and that's a wonderful feeling to those who've been displaced by war.
None of them. GET OUT WHILE WE STILL CAN. This is the worst country in the whole of the developed world, and there is no runner-up.
Either you’re trying to scare people off cause you don’t want more immigrants…or one of those ‘MACA’ trying to convince people Pollieve is an actual good choice and will make Canada ‘great’ again.
