Americans are often citing Canada as one of the places they are most likely to move to if they ever planned on leaving the United States. So it is not too surprising to learn that Canada is one of the most admired countries on Earth. I am very interested in learning about the specific reasons why Canada has built such a positive repuatation. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

You are NOT a typical American - typically, Americans couldn't possibly care less about what is across their northern border (or anywhere else actually). Thank you again for your interest and for possibly enlightening our southern neighbours!
True. But in fairness, as Canadians we grow up watching both Canadian and American TV. We've always had and watched ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, etc. So, it is quite common for a Canadian to know a lot about the US since we get their media. But Americans don't really have much access to any channels that aren't American. As a Canadian living the US, it was very hard to find any news of what was happening in Canada. DirectTV (satellite) did offer CBC Newsworld for a while, so I could watch The National and other stuff. But, I think they later dropped it and I had no Canadian coverage of anything.
Many Americans don't even know most of they're surrounding cities, let alone neighboring countries
there really is no typical American. They would care if there was more reason too. We obsess over America because of their political standing in the world, their media which makes up for like 95% of the media we consume, it's not because we just care so much about others. Anyway, some Americans truly don't care, but some do. He's a typical America, from my experience, in that he's friendly and seems easy to get along with.
@@WinterWarlock261 Not only Canadian/American TV when I grew up ( 1970 - 1980) I watched a lot of British TV as well
So true
I'm a dual US/Canadian citizen, born in the USA, but have lived in Canada since the early 80s.
I just learned that my appointment for my US citizenship renunciation at my local US Embassy has been scheduled for May 2023.
I CANNOT WAIT to lose my US citizenship and be 100% Canadian.
It's ridiculous that the US and Eritrea (an African dictatorship) are the only two countries in the world that require you to pay income tax and file tax returns every single year even if you live and work abroad. That is a huge reason why many dual citizens are renouncing their American citizenship. The US government knows this too, so they made the process much more expensive as more and more people started doing that.
@@ywgmb35 the tax thing is a bit of a pain to deal with but generally is just paper to file as your Canadian taxes more then offset possible US taxes and needing a US passport to enter the US is another irritation (thanks "Patriot Act" - the biggest limitation on US freedom recently). Then again the Covid relief cheques were a bonus for all those hours over the years getting the tax forms completed along with having to travel to a consular office to get your expired passport renewed.😅
I think I've used at most 1 hour on taxes the last 2 years as everything in Denmark is automated and done electronically. I don't get the inefficiency of the US system. There's enough tech to make it happen.
@@charisma-hornum-fries New Zealand is even simpliar, the government does it for you from all forms submitted and sends you a cheque or bill.
congratulations.:)
Trumps first ambassador to Canada in her first speech claimed she was in Canada to help bring Canada to the same level of Freedom as the USA. There was a quick response in the Ottawa news paper. There developed a list of 50 freedoms Canadian’s have US citizens do not have. It was a bit of a shock to realize how many things Canadians accept as of course we can do this and Americans can not even think about doing it. Americans in comparison are not really very free. They are not the land of the free. Many countries are far ahead of them in personal freedom
Why as a Canadian, cannot I not view certain news articles that are American? That's what communist countries like China do.
A year later, Canada is losing ground.

Tyler, you always introduce yourself as a 'typical American' YOU are not a typical American. You are interested in other countries, cultures and you are educating yourself on the ways other people live. That is not a typical American. It's refreshing to watch your videos.
Thank you.
I always find it funny , from a Canadian point of view, when the US calls themself land of the free. I feel like I would lose a lot of freedom if I moved south, especially as a woman.
Women in the Southern swamp States have lots of freedom, what do you mean? They have the freedom to obey and do as they're told by one particular religion which dominates the South. Unmarried women are also free to give birth to their sin-baby. Right? In the olden days they'd be... what? Murdered? I don't know. But the point is that they are free to live as a sinful unwed women popping out their sin-babies everywhere. I mean.... yeah, I guess, the sinful women WOULD be more free if they could have access to birth control and abortion but the Southern swamp people prefer that you 'live with the consequences of your sin'. Buuuuuuuuuuuut you're free to buy cute baby clothes for your consequence :) Isn't that enough freedom? You don't need TOO MUCH freedom, don't be greedy now come on.
It's now 10:00 pm in Ottawa which means, thanks to the SCOTUS, it's 1973 in the US.
Oh no :((( cry me a river can’t have a bunch of unprotected sex with random men
You'd lose ALL your freedoms (speaking as a fellow Canadian woman). I wouldn't be surprised if the Repubs tried to take away their women's right to vote next.
What freedom as a woman would you lose there?
Some of the proudest Canadians I know are immigrants.
My best friend is from Poland , and he speaks English better than any Canadian I know.
I think that when they have had to work for it , they respect it more . Goes for citizenship or language
I feel like this is how it should be! I’m Canadian, but just by virtue of being born here, so I feel a bit silly about being patriotic. But those who come here intentionally - I understand that sense of pride!
@@catherinemargaret4137 Patriotism comes from loving your country, which includes the people, the culture and the land itself, recognizing its flaws and working to correct them, respecting its history, for good or ill, in the hopes to never repeat mistakes of the past and building to a better future. It doesn't come from just being born here, and it certainly doesn't come from flying a dyed rag on a pole.
Most of them
That is very accurate. Me myself am happy for being born here but it's not like I want to scream it to the world. But immigrants want to let a lot of people know how happy they are for being here.
I witnessed a very Canadian moment a while back. We had several Syrians move to our little BC town, and one family moved into a house at the end of our block. One day I was walking to work and stopped because the father of the family was trying to back a trailer into his driveway. The nice Chinese couple that live a few houses down from me were watching as well, and the driver was being directed by an elderly man with about the thickest Scottish accent I've ever heard.
Love that! In Victoria our local TV news did a piece today on a Syrian family who is trying to open a restaurant here (they just need funds). I'd love to try Syrian food.
As a frequent patron of public transit in a large city in Ontario, I see it everyday. There is common courtesy and politeness, respect and kindness shown by almost everyone I encounter. Of course there is always going to be the occasional person that doesn’t quite do things the Canadian way but I hope they will learn eventually.
We are not the most admired country, and some of us need to dispel ourselves of that notion. In fact the Scandinavian countries are to be marveled at for their consistent attention to the welfare of the people being regarded as the utmost priority. Sigh...we used to be far more humble in Canada.
@@leecox6241 - Nothing wrong with being proud. It's the braggadocio that is negative. Every country has a right to be proud or it's accomplishments and love of their land.
Sounds like ottawa!! We were fortunate to make friends with our new Syrian neighbors. Sweetest family ever! They invited my kids to their celebrations, traded foods with us. It was an amazing experience for my family and we got to help them adjust.
I thank God every day that I live in Canada! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Funny you mention the multiculturalism in this video. Just tonight I was at a church service where the church that my church rents space from invited our congregation (where I am the only Canadian -born adult, another woman was born and raised in England, and all of the other adults are from India or Pakistan) to join them in a Christmas service. They asked that we sing some songs in the members' mother tongues. So I found it absolutely beautiful that we had people from 2 denominations and 4 birth countries singing together in English, Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi. The beauty of it brought tears to my eyes
❤❤❤
Despite the current challenges post-pandemic (and let's be honest, the entire world is facing challenges post-pandemic which are not the fault of any one leader) I wouldn't want to live in any other country, period. Very, VERY proud and grateful to be Canadian, eh?
Same.
Contrary to many people, I thought they were way too tolerant and smooth with the convoy shitshow
@@a.b.2850 Agreed!
In Canadas case our problems were amplified by incompetent, corrupted leadership from Trudeau cabinet.
Damn straight. I have been to 95 countries, lived 16 years of my life abroad - but always so happy to return to Canada - best country in the world!!! Still underrated.
My thoughts exactly. Current government may not be the best in the world, or the best we've had in Canada, but our government is still better than the vast majority of what other countries have and we should all still be grateful for the quality of life we do have in Canada.
Now here's to hoping we can improve things going forward :).
A good way to enter Canada is as a student. Graduated students are encouraged to stay and contribute to the economy. Finding a job in Canada in your field and working in the country, is the best way to eventually apply for citizenship.
Yes the smartest way! There is no shortcut for success.
Smart!!
They have their home country pay for their education and are charged a higher rate so they have priority for spots in schools. Then they end up staying and get the best jobs.
Yep. My friends from Venezuela did that, came here to go to school then became Canadian citizens
I am grateful everyday to be here in Canada.
you and me both old dear... (moved to Canada from the UK back in 2007, best move i EVER MADE!
Best regards, from your new land border country.
The end of the whiskey war! :)
@@risputte honestly the whiskey war was a fun tradition. I’m sad to see it gone, but at least we found an equitable solution for not only the countries but also the indigenous people living near it
@@TheNinthGeneration1 Now we will have to pay duty on the whiskey. LOL
The multicultralism thing is HUGE to me. I am surrounded by Indian coworkers and I'm so lucky to get to work with them every day. Amazing crew of people. We had a big discussion the other day on the pros/cons of Intergenerational Family Housing and it was such an awesome opportunity to pick the brain of someone who grew up in a totally different way than I did.
The Canadian identity is being welcoming, kind, quiet and professional. When I think of a Canadian I think of compromise, kindness and focused problem solving. We don't yell and beat our chests. We DO things to fix problems. Together.
You gotta react to Due South Tyler. :-p
I'm so proud of being Canadian.
"Canada is the kindest country in the world. You are like a really nice apartment over a meth lab" Robin Williams
Nah maybe it once was, now it’s decrepit, over taxed, it’s becoming a shit hole. Housing is up 300%-400%ish, renting isn’t any better, and we can go to prison for miss gendering someone (-.-)
Canada is frigging euthanasing people...wtf. that ain't kind. Had a fall? Have you thought about assisted suicide? Disabled? You don't want to be a burden do you? Assisted suicide? . Can't afford your bills? Well assisted suicide can help. Depressed....yep assisted suicide can help with that too. Absolute madness.
Lol. That's brilliant - but if it was anyone but Robin Williams, yt would ban you for hate speech!
Religion is a private personal thing.Up here pushing your beliefs doesnt go over very good with the masses.
Pushing people to believe is a big american problem.
I have been a Canadian since birth, 64 years and 3 days ago. I cannot imagine living anywhere else. When I travel and see the 🇨🇦 I literally get teary eyed. As with every other country we have a disgusting underbelly that disturbs me, but most people I encounter are typical. We excuse ourselves and apologize often. We encourage immigration, diversity and inclusion is important. Politically we are very diverse from social democratic provincial governments to conservative governments. Interesting if we don’t trust either party we generally won’t give any party a big majority. We prefer our politicians to do their job and not be stupid. We don’t have a lot of patience for the negative side and you’ll see the difference between the US and Canada with our advertising during an election and typically an election lasts 30 days, 45 in some instances. We really can’t stand the ongoing electioneering. The federal government operates federal elections, provinces run provincial elections. So regardless of where you live, federally how we vote is the same and it’s a paper ballot, the same provincially. There is never an attempt to disenfranchise any elector. I love the regional differences. The east and west coasts are so unique. The prairies are amazing and so diverse. The middle of the country is yet different especially Quebec with it’s own unique culture and shared values. I believe regardless of where we live our values about kindness, caring about others, giving back, regard for others, patience, fairness, equality among some of our values. Each province is unique in how they tax their residents and provide services. We all have the right to healthcare and that’s provided for in the Canada Health Act that ensures we all have the basic access to healthcare. Provinces cannot go below those basics. I love it here. It is my home, it’s where I want to live. I love snow in the winter and the heat in the summer. It’s the best.
Well said! 🇨🇦❤️
Agree 100%
You nailed it.
Hello! From Vancouver Island!🎉
Yes Sir!
Thank you!
I wasn't born here, but fortunately my parents quickly fixed this historical blunder and moved the family to Montréal when I was in kindergarden 56 years ago. I can never thank them enough. We should not exaggerate how bad things were in the 80s and 90s. You interrupted Simon when he was describing the points system, leaving the impression that speaking English was a requirement. In fact, points are awarded for speaking either English *or* French.
Nice! :-) I love living in Montreal, we have our issues, but overall, it's pretty good. Where else are you going to get a Portuguese chicken poutine from a wet chicken (Ma Poule Mouillee)
@@TenOfZero1 Poutine is a great reason to live in Montreal
I am glad you are here with us, I love our country!
i was born in a small town outside of Detroit, and my parents emigrated to Canada. I am so thankful.
@@paddington1670 I am glad as well, I do not think Americans are all bad, but the policies and coldness and everyone being armed and so divisive is unwelcoming and scary, I was always told, you never talk God or Politics and that was way before all the craziness of "Republicans' politicizing everything, I do not care how anyone identifies or who they pray to or not and especially not who they sleep with, I just wish people could learn from differences and quit thinking the way forward is through the past, we need to adapt and continue to grow as people and a country and to quit letting opinions dictate facts, be kind, it costs nothing and is priceless to those who need it, Slava Ukraini!
As a white guy from Canada I can say that I am proud that people can come to my country and not have to leave their culture behind. Many people I know speak English at work but speak a foreign language at home (I always end up asking them how to say stuff because I am interested in their culture). Being older, I identify Canadians as Nice hockey players that want you as their neighbors, but don't screw with us or you will learn why hockey is the only major non-combat sport that has fighting rules in it.
The decline in Trudeau's popularity is due in part, I think (and I'm Canadian, born and raised), to the rise of GOP-like republican views in a couple of provinces in particular -- Quebec (nothing new there; I grew up there and they've wanted to be separate but on the Canadian "payroll", for over 70 years), and Alberta, home of the Freedom Convoy that shut down the Alberta-Montana border and occupied the centre of Ottawa, including the circumference around Parliament Hill, threatening citizens, causing noise pollution with horns blaring etc. for 3 weeks in February 2022. What started out as a valid protest by the trucking industry became influenced and -- in part -- funded by American hard-right agitators. It was a mess, and our government and police forces (RCMP and Provincial) not being cynical or suspicious by nature, had a really hard time dealing with it. *Every* political leader involved has lost popularity -- some because their constituents thought they over-did it by invoking the Emergency Measures Act, and others because their constituents thought they took too long to invoke Emergency Measures!
It’s called insane taxes poor economy, force coercion, longest lockdown.. place is not doing well.
@@npcimknot958 longest lockdown, huh?
How’s the weather in China?
This guy is drinking the Kool aid. In canada you can be put on house arrest if someone suspect you might "in the future" say something that could be interpreted as hate speech. This is ridiculous.
No Trudeau is a dishonest inhuman monster.

Hi Tyler ~ I wanted to quickly mention a doc you would appreciate. It is a CBC documentary about the 8,000 passengers stranded in a small Canadian town of 10,000 during the horrific tragedy of 911! It’s a phenomenal true story! It is a reflection of Canadians - especially those from Newfoundland and the Maritimes…the friendliest of us all!
The CBC documentary is entitled:
Gander’s Ripple Effect: How a Small Town’s Kindness Opened on Broadway
There is also now a Broadway Musical called "Come from Away" about Gander, NFLD in 911. I live on the west coast of Canada but was an "Army Brat" who resided in New Brunswick for 4 years as a child. I'd wager the Maritimers are the kindest most amazing people in the world
@@suestone914 Hi Sue ~ you are a fellow Maritimer! I was born in Newfoundland, but moved to BC at the tender age of 7, then spent most of my life in that beautiful province, prior to moving to Edmonton.
That being said, I have family in New Brunswick…so COOL to know you were born there!!🤗
Do you still have family in NB? Have you visited often?
My family would vacation in Newfoundland as often as we could. After first moving out west, we couldn’t afford to visit family in NL. But once my parents got established and we were a wee bit older, my parents would take the summer off and drive across Canada…stopping along the way to sight see and visit friends and family in other provinces along the way…including NB of course! We got to see so much of Canada and have been so fortunate to visit nearly every province and territory! My parents made it a priority for us to see our beautiful country, and I’m so grateful they did!
I ABSOLUTELY agree that Maritimers are
💯% the kindest, most generous people on the planet!!! Obviously, that is OUR opinion - and I’m fine with that - LOL!😉
I mentioned in my message to Tyler about the musical. It is actually part of a CBC documentary titled:
Gander’s Ripple Effect: How a Small Town’s Kindness Opened on Broadway
It is a great documentary. Of course, it’s online as well. I searched for it on aRUclips and it came up immediately. It’s also on CBC’s online programming via their “GEM App”.
Since I was actually born in Gander, I was happy to hear about the documentary. It’s also a reason for ALL Maritimers and Canadians alike to be extremely proud of the people who make up our incredible country - as it is a very SPECIAL place to live!
In the CBC doc, it provides snippets of the musical, and talks to both the the actors/singers, and the real life individuals who inspired the musical. The doc also explains what took place that fateful day and the incredible story of Gander and its amazing community that came together to take care of the 8,000 passengers/flight crew!
The documentary explained that 1 of the reasons they mobilized the passengers after a couple of weeks was due to the fact that the airport tarmac the planes were parked on, started to sink and melt into the runway! I cannot remember, but there were about 50 planes parked on the runway and surrounding grounds.
Another FUN FACT was that so much food was sent to Gander for the stranded passengers, the Salvation Army and town council turned the hockey arena into a DEEP FREEZER for all the extra food…now that’s a lot of food - LOL!!!😋
It sure says a lot about us as Canadians…especially those born in the Maritimes! If we don’t overwhelm others with kindness, we will certainly do it with our hospitality and food - LOL!😉
It definitely makes one proud to be a Canadian!
I guess this is where I should “apologize” for making this message so long. Tyler has me conscious of how much I say “sorry” or apologize now! I never thought about it BEFORE! I - like everyone else - just didn’t realize how polite we are.
Anyhow ~ I hope I haven’t put you to sleep or deterred you from reading this message.
Stay warm and have an awesome weekend!

I always laugh when I see Americans say how free they are when they really are not.
Americans talk freedom, Canada lives it.
@@CraftAero Canada is euthanasing people ffs . If they're poor, disabled or depressed. Canada is a a disgrace. The whole world is disgusted in Canada atm.
@@CraftAero Trudeau and his dictatorship Liberal government have been trying to change this for a while.
They have the right to chose between dying or losing everything. I love how the American government invests 6 times more per person for healtcare than Canada and still can't figure their s out. Quite ridiculous hahha the american dream they say!
Not a laughing matter though, it's actually frustrating and sad. Too many people suffering and being hoodwinked over there, and at a high cost on so many levels.
The refugee sponsorship program is so popular people were having trouble getting matched with a family from Syria. Community coalitions form and send in an application to sponsor a family and provide clothes, money for housing, job leads etc and often the number of sponsors outnumbers the number of families the govt can process. It is heartwarming to know how much we want to support folk in need.
I have to say that I am really grateful and thankful to be living in Canada. There’s so many bad things going on in the world and to be honest, America really scares me right now and it has for quite a long time. I truly hope things get better for all of us in North America, and the world for that matter.
Me as wel. Been here for 65 years, and love my city, my province and my country Canada. Arrived here August 4rth, 1959, was a teenager 18, years old from Europe Italy. Love my Canada, love my peninsula Italy equall, and I am grateful and blessed for everything.
The rankings are based on quality of life, life expectancy, healthcare, education, GDP, employment, Middle class amongst other criteria but what I mentioned are the main. Before Covid Canada's middle class grew while other countries middle class shrunk and the wealth gap increased. Just want to add Canada has the same issues as anywhere.
Freedom ranking you referring to?
yeah the health care system is basically worthless at this point, and there isn't much alternative available or allowed so that's a negative for sure. education is spotty at best many parents are switching to home schooling as they have to do all the teaching any how with public schools. financial is a landmine as the gov has stollen peoples property and locked bank accounts for-I guess not being muslim or something IDK. and quality of life is dwindling for any one not rich and living in a home they own built and maintain themselv3es, slum lords are becoming the norm. Mainly speaking from Nl but this is somewhat across the country as well, and some things are way worse on the mainland like the gov brainwashing in schools and such.
@@wepntech The government brainwashing in schools is a bit rich. And our kids are more savvy about sussing info on the internet than I am! Globally every medical system has been tested, and this has shown Canadians how the decline in financial support over many years has decimated our medical facilities and medical staff. We are in dire straights there. Homes in the large Canadian cities are no longer affordable for young people. Again, there are rising costs everywhere worldwide. Public education in Canada is good, and can always be improved upon.
Trudeau has gotten too comfortable in his his job, but the populist Polievre has been influenced by American politics. We all need to be well-educated, and aware. I find your statements to be pretty simplistic. Care to elaborate?
@@wepntech dude I prefer not have a bill after visiting the er and also having the same treatment as every one else Canada's health care Is very good and at least I don't worry about not using life saving medication cause it too expensive
I am always very impressed by how you pause a video and immediately provide an extremely accurate and succinct analysis of what you've just watched. You are one smart dude, Tyler. 👍👍
Our immigrants are a dense cluster of some of the best educated people in the world. It was designed that way.
I agree.
True, but we also welcome a lot of refugees, which I’m totally fine with, especially for the way we actually do it, welcome them, all the integration processes and resources.. we’re a worldwide model of immigration, we should be more proud of this
@@a.b.2850 I think more should be proud of that part! We are all offspring of immigrants and our society is based on it!
Except that Canada works very hard to not recognize your foreign credentials & experience.
@@a.b.2850 But you fail to tell the full story. Our infrastructure simply cannot handle the number of immigrants we take in, hence housing debacle we find ourselves in, our health care is in crisis because it too cannot handle the amount of people taking from the pot while not putting enough in, our major highways are at a standstill most of the time, we treat our seniors, disabled and natives as they are a nuisance, and let them live in poverty while supporting refugees. We are a model of immigration - I don't think so.
Hi, the approval rating changed in 2019-2020 because of a global pandemic. Happened to leaders all over the world, but the Canadian govt brought us through the worst of it with incredible support. There are others who'd disagree, but I'm not one of them. I think our govt, and Trudeau, did a great job getting us through.
And the Far Right Government in Alberta, tried to Undermine the Federal Government every Step of the Way, still are.
As an indigenous Canadian I can verify that our country has a complex relationships between the First Nations, America and the British. Prior to 150 years ago Kanata was still here (The name “Canada” likely comes from the Huron-Iroquois word “kanata,” meaning “village” or “settlement.”) only there were different laws and lawmakers. Many nations like the Metis, Ojibwa, Chippewa, or Saulteaux, many... Assiniboine, Cree, Haudenosaunee, so very many people. Slaughtered, brutal force was used to control and erase. There were political systems, cultures, clan systems, respect for all that is good; nature, water, women and children, the land we stand on today. Oh, Canada our home on native land.
I feel like the US live in the past, for the past, while Canada is living for the future, thinking of the future. Also, I think our welcoming and accommodating culture comes from living (surviving) in a difficult to survive weather territory, where not welcoming someone into your home can literally mean be responsible for their death. There’s this aspect of helping someone, giving them food and fire, is the most basic thing a human being should provide to another in need. My grandma, that had 5 kids, to feed, in post war era where poverty was insane, whenever one of her sons had a friend over for dinner, her response was “if there’s food for 5, there is for 6” and always feed the poorer without a word, a question, or even making them feel bad, and that, even when my grandpa was dying (spoiler, he didn’t 😁 he was saved by a courageous surgeon that opened him 300 degrees around the waist, on 360, to perform the 1st kidney removal surgery in the ‘50s, when they couldn’t even tell which one was sick, which one to take out and which one to leave in!! doctor was a poker dude, he did well at guessing 😂 surgery was successful for the time, and my lovely grandpa lived until he was 94, and I had over 24 years with him ❤
Tyler, thank you ❤ You’re addressing topics, subjects, making comparisons that I’ve only heard Americans laugh their ass*s off at us my entire life. This proves your intelligence, and that’s the start to improve your own country 😊
My mother's philosophy when it came to feeding people was "I'd rather have too much than not enough". I grew up thinking the three daily meals were called breakfast, lunch and leftovers. It's a tradition I continue. My father was 98 when he passed away. We used to joke that when he went to the liquor store, he was asked for ID to prove he was still young enough to drink.
I really love this theory. We grew up in such harsh terrain and weather that it is ingrained in our nature to help others.... because we understand that the consequence of NOT helping them could be their swift death by the elements. This theory, when applied to the States, also rings true. The Northern most States share the same climate as Canada. And they're sort of known for being so nice that they're basically Canadian. Whereas the Southern most States are where many.... unfriendly aspects of humanity are prolific, past and/or present: fought to keep human enslavement legal, anti-women's rights, religious extremism, culturally-accepted racism, birthplace of the KKK. The Southern States have scorching hot Summers but I wonder....... if they experienced Winter like we did.... maybe they'd have a different perspective of humanity and be kinder to their fellow man.
Lol! So, the future of humanity is lockdowns, never-ending mask mandates, product shortages, and freezing of bank accounts? Sounds wonderful. You do know that every other country has moved on, right? And, that the US is the most dynamic, diverse, amazing, forward thinking country in the world? I wouldn’t live anywhere other than the US by choice.
@@vmvm3857 There are no more lockdowns. Mask mandates are gone. Clinics and businesses decide for themselves if they want their patrons to wear masks. Freezing of bank accounts will always happen when foreign interference in national security is present. That happens in every nation. And product shortages are happening across the whole planet of Earth. That happens after every 'war-time' event. It also happened after the prior pandemic (Spanish Flu 100 years ago). I hope you grow whatever 'fight against the man' you think you're waging. You're fighting an enemy which doesn't exist. We're all in this together. We're all one people who need to look after each other. I wish you well.
@@Lee-fw9mr American here, and I'm here to debunk the notions of the left wing ideology you're espousing which in today's climate, are those of the democrats. It's clear you don't live here, and it's okay if you've been propagandized to the point of idiocy. When the civil war ended, which was 1865, Canada was 2 years old. We've literally not had slavery all but two years of your entire existence. Also, you know the party of the KKK was the democrats right? ( Don't hit me with party switch thing, it's not true, when Jim Crow laws were lifted, no one switched parties. They stayed democrats. ) We have a saying here, it's called southern hospitality talking about exactly what you are. Yes rural areas are accommodating up north, but so are we down south, because of y'know.. our scorching hot summers? It's also clear you don't know anything about how we treat women here as well. Did you know we have let women vote here since 1919, and many women didn't want the responsibility. In contrast you (Canada) started women voting in 1916, so a 3 year difference. Good on you for that, I guess. But hardly decades more of suffrage. If you're talking about abortion as women's rights, religious extremism is not believing that a life exists inside a womb, and it is no one's right to take said life? I bet when we found microbes on Mars you went around to everyone you know saying " did you know we found life on Mars?" But it's EXTREMISM to think a developing baby is also life? We think YOU are extreme for that. Also we don't have culturally accepted racism, unless you're talking about Joy Behar getting on MSNBC every night talking about how evil white people are. That's about as close as we get. We have free speech, non-negotiable, our rights aren't granted by the government, they are here to be protected, did I say non-negotiable? They are natural rights. Get off your high horse. Your country doesn't value your medical freedom, your bodily autonomy, free speech, or the right to defend your own life from others. Go ahead, miss your next round of boosters and find out how free you really are.
Just one little thing I have noticed from watching more than a dozen of your videos on Canada ... as per any typical US citizen, you’re constantly surprised, even amazed that something exists that wasn’t first discovered in or by a US citizen, invented by a US citizen, etc. Now that you’ve learned quite a bit about Canada, I was glad you weren’t quite as surprised that Canada is more highly admired than the USA... very proud of how far you’ve come!
Agreed.
Yeh euthanasing people because they are poor, disabled or depressed is very admirable. Get a grip. Canada is evil.
Also agree fully 😊
I work for an automation company and I had the same concern about jobs being replaced by robots, but my boss explained to me that if you don't automate you won't be competitive and will probably closed shop which means even more jobs will be lost. In addition, the jobs that are being cut are low level and automation creates new high level jobs like machine operators, engineers, etc. I know it's not the topic of the video, but it was mentioned and I think it's an interesting way of seeing automation.
Agree.. I work in health and safety (industrial/aeronautics), have for 17 years now, so I’ve witnessed the rise of automations, the inventions and creations of new safety devices, systems and gadgets to improve machine safety, and the difference it did/still does for our workers’ health and safety. I can only approve! I don’t think, don’t see, this cutting jobs, what I see is how it improves everyone’s safety, from the workers to the users, because it also improves assures quality.
Keep up the good work, world’s okayest dad 😜
the problem though, is all those low skill jobs, lost, only create a few high skill required jobs. 100-1000 low skill jobs get replaced by automation and 2-5 high skill jobs, leaving 98 unemployed. the japanese company Fanuk, used to employ hundreds of machinists for metal fabrication using lathes and mills. they went fullly automated. now the same building that used to have approx 230 workers in the 90's now only employs 8 people at that factory. 5 of which work from home and remote access the machines to enter their CNC code for the machine to run. the other 3 are there to replace coolants, replace damaged and worn carbide inserts, to analyse a machine that "crashed" because the CNC coder had a tool path that had an error, and damaged both the first part being fabricated, and the milling tool, to remove the material from a big block of steel or copper or aluminum or any other alloy.
@@dustinherk8124 You're right but if Fanuk never went to automation the company wouldn't be competitive and would probably closed which will be even more jobs lost.
Someone I know builds and maintains robots. Those are all new jobs created by automation which will never stop. There was a time when there were many thousands of guys doing horseshoes and then the car came along. History is full of these changes so get with it people and embrace it.
This comment has enlightened me about a very important positive effect of job automation.
In case you have not seen it, here is a beautiful little movie about a Syrian family-refugees to Canada. Within the broad range of immigration experiences, this is only one story, but it represents a true story-and the way Canadians like to think the country responds to refugees. It’s a wonderful little movie. PS: you can order their chocolate online-it’s incredibly good! Here’s the trailer:

They certainly have changed viewpoints on China, but China can never be forgotten.
The U.S. political scene sees benefits to people as Socialism or Communism. Total bunk. As a Canadian who has raised a family with healthcare, maternity leave, child benefits, etc. I feel such gratitude. Now as a senior, I have pension, drug coverage, hospital coverage. I feel love and gratitude. She's not perfect, but excellent.
As a Canadian, it's cringeworthy that Canada wanted a free trade deal with China so badly. The Syrian refugees have been an amazing addition to our country, I also glad we are able to help the Ukrainians too. I just hope they have the choice of going back home soon.
The trade deal with China "was" a good idea... at the time.
JJ Jones The Chinese are very good business people. They promise to give you the world and kiss your butt and usually deliver. If you do any little thing to piss them off then the tables turn.
As we see, the 2 Michaels problem. The Chinese are very revengeful and since that debacle our trade is down by 90%. I think Trudeau has learned a lesson.
Canadian here, of course there is a dark side of Canada. Anyone who thinks that their country does not have a dark side is a fool.
the only dark side of Canada is that crime infested hole we call Alberta filled with insurrectionist terrorists
One of the things that figures into 'freedom' is freedom from having your future dictated by corporations, and the 'freedom' to improve your life through your own skill and hard work. That 'freedom' is fast disappearing in the USA. Like George Carlin said, it's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. In fact it is more alive here than it is there.
💯
The US talks about freedom, Canada lives it.
The main difference between both countries is that the U.S. invented the electric chair and Canada invented the electric wheelchair.

To apply to become a Canadian citizen it helps to have a degree in a field that we have a demand for, once accepted then you can apply to have your family here as well. Unless you are an asylum seeker, then it is on a case by case situation of life & death. Once here you are required to follow all laws like a natural born Canadian but are encouraged to also keep your own identity and religion. As per 9/11 attack Gander Newfoundland was the emergency landing spot to get planes out of the sky. Because of its location between North America and Europe, Gander was selected as a refueling spot for early transatlantic flights. While today aircraft can make the journey without refueling, Gander remains a preferred emergency landing point for planes with onboard medical or security issues.**** Gander's runway became a parking lot of diverted commercial airliners on 9/11. More than 6,500 passengers from 38 jets were fed, housed, cared for until air travel was safe again. All done by volunteers and a community of 10,000 people.. Community centers, hockey arena's, Churches were set up with cots, bedding etc.. and food volunteers worked around the clock to provide 3 meals a day, all toiletries, diaper-baby needs, toys for children, healthcare professionals and counselor's. The kindness of the people of Gander has developed life long friendships with many of these travelers.

I am from Pierre Trudeau's generation - Justine's father. Pierre was one of the most influential prime ministers, and it was his vision and actions that laid the foundation of what we are today.
My favorite quote from Pierre Trudeau was roughly “There is no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation”. This was said in 1967 but that is as far as I'll go with that.
Mine too. He didn’t originate that quote but it’s often attributed to him. Miss that man!
Yeah, Canada is not perfect, but Canada appears to be one of the best places in the world to live in... in many categories.
The other countries I hear about are Iceland and the Scandinavian countries.
@@imisstoronto3121 Pierre Trudeau did indeed originate the quote, back in 1967 when he was Justice Minister. The full quote was: "Take this thing on homosexuality. The view we take is, there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation. What's done in private between adults doesn't concern the Criminal Code." There is film footage of him saying this as the government introduced reforms of the Criminal Code. If anyone used the phrase earlier, I'd welcome evidence of somebody else saying it earlier.
I’m from one of the said Scandinavian countries, and I want to move to Canada, too. It’s not a random thin as I’ve lived there before (for hockey, mainly in the province of Quebec). I like Canadian whisky (not all of it! Some of it is as bad as Jamison). I’m thinking of moving to Eastern Canada, I had lots of fun at the pubs and cafes there.
Yes, Eastern Canada is certainly pretty big on pub and café culture. And I love it. I'm originally from Montréal, now in Toronto, and have spent much time in Halifax and Quebec city throughout my life. Glad you enjoyed here, hope you can move here some day too.
One Canadian leader, Paul Martin, improved Canada's economy in a way that was surprisingly painless if you already had a job. Paul did some good work and gets little credit.

@@bonbonvegabon loooool except none of that is true, but good try - maybe if you wrote it in ALL CAPS it would have worked.
Let's review, shall we?
Harper took office in 2004.
From 2005-2007 Canada had a surplus in the budget of over $1B.
In 2008, when the world wide economic crash was upon us, and Canadas biggest trading partner (the US) was essentially bankrupt, Harper ran a deficit (since he had to stimulate Canada's economy) from 2008-2013, but each year the deficit was reduced.
By 2014, Canada was back with a surplus.
Then then our lovely Blackface enthusiast PM took over and, thinking that budgets balance themselves (his own words), has spent more than all of our last 5 PM's combined.

A nice story about Syrian refugees. In BC a family sponsored one family. They did well eventually opening a grocery store. The BC family returned from a Mexican vacation and had to be isolated due to COVID. They couldn't leave their house. The Syrian family showed up leaving bags full of groceries at their front door!

@@canadianbakin1304 Going back a couple of election cycles in Alberta, the extreme rightwing broke away from the centre-right conservatives and that allowed the left-wing NDP to win control. By all accounts, Rachel Notley and her NDP government actually did a good job and initiated the process of diversifying the Alberta economy, planning for the inevitable decline of fossil use in the not-so-distant future. Last election, the conservative factions set aside their differences and were able to win back control of the Alberta government. Even considering the inherent difficulties for any government during the pandemic, the general consensus has been the Alberta conservative government has been among the worst of all the provinces.

Everyone says the 80s and 90s were bad; that’s was a big surprise as was having the best time of my life as a young uneducated ( grade 9), who had lots of money and was travelling 6 months to India each year. The money was made from planting trees and working on orchards, not from growing pot. It was a great time until I decided to finally get a stable job and went back to school and got a 2 trades. It’s been shit since then, but every time I came back from travelling, I grew an admiration to what a special home this is. I met a family of Syrian refugees on Haida Gwaii, they love this place. The dark side is how we treated the First Nation population. Similar to America. Sorry.

Canada is 150 years old but the oldest city is Quebec, founded in the late 1600's, when Canada and most of the States were Nouvelle-France, or Newfrance in English

Yeah, I've seen that clown on a bunch of Tyler's videos.
I'm 50 years old and my family on one side's arrival dates back to the 1800s and the other side is Indigenous to Canada and the US. I agree that most Canadians strongly support immigration. We realize it is very important to growing our economy. For the most part, people in Canada celebrate diversity and don't think anyone has to melt into a pot but can retain their cultural identity while adhering to Canada's core values.
It is interesting we are seeing this 5 years later because we are seeing some of the challenges with all of this now. We are not turning back but we don't have the housing to accommodate all the immigration jacking up housing costs (both purchase and rental) Canada wide. In some cases, locals can no longer afford to buy a home despite making quite decent wages. We also did not invest enough in expanding our health care to accommodate all the new residents so are facing Dr. shortages across the Country. Some Provinces, like Nova Scotia, are in a worse spot than others. This boils down to poor planning and making healthcare cutbacks to solve our economic woes. Now that things have turned around in Nova Scotia, we are struggling to keep up with our population growth. We also need better transportation system or accept that people just need to telecommute more. I am for the latter. The pandemic showed us just how possible it is to have a productive workforce working remotely from home.
We also do need to increase our military spending. With the Russia/Ukraine war going on and finding out how quickly things can change with superpowers including the one to the South of us, it has made more of us realize we can remain a peace keeping nation while preparing for the worse in case it happens. Being between Russia and the US is not really a comforting feeling.
All of the above is related because to do all this spending, we need more people paying taxes and immigrants are a good source for that revenue. They are hard workers and contribute a lot to Canada. I think it is going to take both the current residents and immigrants to allow Canada to reach its potential.

Id love to see how these indexes actually determine "freedom". Theres plenty of Freedoms that Americans have that Canadians have.
There was a global recession from 1984 till early 1990s, with rising interest rates, high unemployment, so tight economic policies were put in place to curb mounting inflation. This occurred in the USA too. This podcaster is singling out Canada as if it occurred just in Canada, when in fact during that period of time it was a global problem.
My father was born in the States and my sister became American and lived in the states for many years. However, when she retired she moved back - a move she never regretted. I would not move to the US and give up my Universal Healthcare (and other social benefits) for any of the mysoginy or racism the US has to offer!
I would say that is the biggest difference with immigration between Canada and the US. Canada is about embracing multiculturalism and differences whereas the US is more focused on assimilation. Also, the number of immigrants accepted into Canada each year has grown since this video was made. Canada accepted 431,645 in 2022 and there are plans to increase this number to 447,055 in 2023 and 451,000 in 2024.
I agree but am always reminded by a few family members (and acquaintances) that we still have a way to go. Still, I like to believe that the percentage make up of Canadian bigots is far less than that in the US.

Dark side = Residential schools. This bit of our history is bound to appear in future video viewings of my country. It is as much a heartbreaking part of our history as all the positive gains we've seen in the present.
The history of all nations on Earth have a Dark Side. But, as a born and raised Torontonian, I was shocked that #1) We weren't taught about the brutality of residential schools in Social Studies class. I remember touching upon the topic vaguely in Grade... 6... maybe? But I learned nothing about the brutality and non-consent of it all until I grew up and used the internet. #2) The last residential school closed in 1980!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In class, they made it seem like 'residential schools' were from the pioneer times. Nope. #3) Mass unnamed child graves are NOW being found at all the old residential schools which are now closed. Literally, a few months ago, citizens used technology to locate a mass grave at 2 old res schools. The nation was outraged. Then the gov started searching for mass graves at all historical res schools. I think the Pope apologized to our Native population. Anyway. All this stuff needs to be taught in school. I agree with you that Canada has a Dark Side, like every nation does. The best way to combat our Dark Side is to teach our real history in schools. ‘Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.’ and 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' - George Santayana
@@Lee-fw9mr thing is we have now brought it into the open and reconciliation has finally begun.
Having open conversations about residential schools will always be a good thing. Denying the events of residential schools is such a huge hurdle to overcome. My generation (millennial) and younger are healthy enough to move forward with healing and reconciliation. It's nobody's faults from here moving forward unless there's open denial about the events, which is far and few between in Canada.
@@Lee-fw9mr wasnt the last one closed in 1996?
Erin Hillmer Yeah, it is a dark side for sure but very few are still around to point a finger at. People today are not responsible for that part of our past.
The multi cultural nature of our population cannot be overlooked. For example, there are over a million asian people in the lower mainland of British Columbia alone. In my city ( Winnipeg ), we have every nation on earth represented, I believe, and lots of large groups. It's a great way to live, I've learned about so much just talking to people.

I wouldn't call BC truly multicultural if you're going to cite Asians as proof of that statement. They are the majority! Im from Montreal currently living in Vancouver over 10 years Montreal is truly multicultural.

I came to Canada just over 10 years ago, intending for it to be a temporary relocation for 5-10 years at the most, planning to move back to the UK. But then Brexit happened... As Simon Whistler says in his video, encouraging educated and productive immigration, and building good trading relationships with other countries have to be good ways to grow the economy - something the UK seems to have lost sight of. Meanwhile Canada gave me citizenship, and it's a nice place to be. Yes, there is a dark side to Canada, but at least I see signs that it is not too proud to own up to its failings and that it is prepared to try to put things right. I think I'll stay.

🇨🇦I was born here 68 years ago and I wouldn’t consider living anywhere else.
The economy thrives because of our diversity policy and it will continue to improve our way of life.
The dark side of Canada certainly includes the trauma the indigenous people of our country continue to suffer.
We value ourselves as hard-working and pragmatic, but our sense of humour is also a big part of our identity.
If we’re admired, that’s great, but we know that there’s lots of room for improvement.
I agree with you that for young countries, with pretty much made a freaking impact on the world, respectively
I remember when they were bringing the Syrian refugees over, that people were lining up to sponsor them.
They didn’t have enough refugees for all the homes that wanted to take them in. 😂
Part of what I love about my country, we are so proud to help people who are in crisis. ❤ 🇨🇦💪
The human freedom index is based on scoring things like policing, justice system, religious freedom, gay rights, women’s rights etc.
Awesome! Simon Whistler is one of my favorite youtubers.
I've said before that "Canada lives the freedom that the US dreams of."
The segment on Trudeau hasn't, um... aged well.
"The segment on Trudeau hasn't, um... aged well."
Heh that's putting it mildly 😂
@@Lav_s92 yeah C-11 and C-21, China and the Emergency Act... Too soon?
Trudeau, the least intelligent and most divisive PM in Canadian history.
@@ianramage1593 I'm no JT fan boi but, Mackenzie King was holding seances and consulting spirits for advice during WWII.
I completely agree that "The segment on Trudeau hasn't, um... aged well" first of all that is quite the understatement, he recently tried banning hunting rifles recently, also The Emergency Act, not very popular. even here in Alberta, it just seemed outrageous, and literally every one I know in Rural Alberta absolutely despises Trudeau, Alberta hasn't even voted liberal in a while, Trudeau is mostly still in office because of Ontario, which out votes pretty much all of western Canada
You will never understand how truly multicultural Canada is until you are a resident
Canadians have some respect for Americans, but it's along the lines of a Monty Python movie, if you get the drift
Rick Mercer's Talking to Americans.
Awesome video Tyler Bucket! I am 65 year old woman from BC Canada and I stand Proud! I personally think that Trudeau is doing a good job but everyone loves to hate their leader. We also have that darkside. Racism is ripe. but we don't have gun problems like the US. In fact, we just had another announcement regarding handguns ban. I traveled with my husband who delivered Westerns Trucks all over the US. The waitresses use to love serving us because we gave them cigarettes and they would say to us "I'm going to take a coffee break outside and Get High" I didn't know a first why they said that. So our tobacco companies are sought out by Americans. Now I was amazed traveling through your United States. I swear almost every house had the American Flag on their house. But you don't see Canadian flags on our homes like the US. Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world. Thank you for the video. Look forward to the next one. Oh just one more thing, We are Marijuana Legal. Yep and I'm having a toke for you. LOL
Canada is particularly admired by the British because it has always been an unwavering ally that never hesitates to answer the call when necessary. Same for Australia and New Zealand.
We also took in many "boat people" -- those fleeing the Viet Nam area -- back in the 70's (I think).
Yes, my mother had a 5 year old Vietnamese "boat" child in her primary classroom. She would bring her to our house after school sometimes, walking from the two room schoolhouse where she taught. There is a graveyard along that route. She asked my mother what it was. When told it was a burial place for those who had died, she plugged her nose and made a face. She had experienced the dead rotting in the streets in her hometown in Vietnam. We are so very fortunate to live in Canada where there is peace and where those suffering from war can find a new life.
Late 70s early 80s, my little home town about 3 hours north of Québec City welcomed a few Cambodian families.
Timmies and Tyler. Perfect morning!
Possibly one of the reasons there are influences to the south, trying to cause Canada to suffer the same divisiveness as the US.
True which would explain those eejit "Trumpers" waving Trump flags during the convoy nightmare.
We called it the Freedumb Convoy.
Those “convoys” were funded majorly by American antivax organizations who wanted to see Canada divided. Majority of Canadians do not support those “convoys” or anything they stand for. They use the Canadian flag to spread division and anarchy, the exact opposite of what our flag symbolizes. Our flag is about unity and is meant to represent that Canada as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts, whereas they try to use our flag to divide, to separate and to instil anti-government attitude. I also feel those “convoys” and those who funded them from America did so in order to try to cause the collapse of our public Healthcare system.
@@Liberal_From_Prairies689 I agree 100%
@@Liberal_From_Prairies689 Actually the freedom convoy was funded something like 80%+ domestically. The inquiry into the emergencies act brought this to light.
One of the many reasons Canada is better than USA is that you can’t buy guns at a convenience store in Canada like you can in the USA. It is ridiculous that most everyone in the USA carries a gun on them for protection. You’d never see that in Canada.
Wow, Tyler. You deserve to have many, many more viewers. Well done.
Satisfaction with any leader tends to go down towards an election. Either another leader takes over, or voters hear what the opposition has to offer, and the old leader may see a boost in popularity. Although Canada has done much better than most countries - including America, Covid had dented most governments popularity
Consider this a formal petition to have Tyler react in-person. Come to Southern Alberta and your room and board is covered, buddy
Edit: spelling
My father was born in the U.S. but was brought to Canada as a child after his father died. When he went to the border to renounce his American citizenship he was advised not to do so by a U.S. immigration officer since he could remain in Canada as a landed immigrant while still remaining a U.S. citizen. That meant that when work was slow in the city in which we lived he could work in the States. That meant for a prosperous upbringing for myself and my two brothers. Thanks America.
Being Canadian … other than the weather from Late Nov to Late Feb on the Prairies … this is the greatest, most welcoming country in the World!!
IM IN THIS VIDEO!! or at least my head is at 15:16 in the bottom right lol. It was his 2015 Brampton rally and I was 16 and just getting into politics. Also, in the Canadian context political rallies are kind of rare which made it super neat to have been at. I still have one of the rally posters you see people holding in their rooms
Not surprising in the least! Class mobility(ability to economically move up the ladder from poor, working poor, working class to middle class, etc) is much greater in Canada and Western Europe for that matter. Socialization of certain services allows more freedom and flexibility to take calculated economic chances that move people up the economic class ladder. Not to mention the hijacking of freedom by religious groups in the U.S when it comes to reproductive right, and moralizing on sexuality and expressions of sexuality. For a right wing always complaining about government getting in their business, they have no issue and see no hypocrisy in insisting government control women’s bodies or how consenting adults have sex, when, and how.
And affordable post secondary education is a big part of that.
@@lightatthecape2009 Well affordable is relative. Compared to the US yes education in Canada is more affordable but it is still quite expensive. Post secondary education in Canada for the average working poor and lower working class family is still quite an expense.
The 90's may have sucked, but we got The Kids in The Hall from that era, so...I think it was worth it.
They came back to do a 2022 season sponsored by Amazon.
I didn't know it was all bad. I was just à child at that time. Learn something today.
Lol
I was born and raised in Canada, lived in various countries and have now returned. It's so restrictive here that I'm emigrating to Mexico. There are so many rules for everything that just don't exist elsewhere and, if you don't agree with the 'popular' opinion, you're vilified.
I'm not sure where that poll on Trudeau came from but he's lost the popular vote in the last two elections and can only hang onto his position because he's formed a voting block with another party. Also, his party has been plagued with scandal due to the unqualified members he chose based on their ethnicity or gender.
Personally, I wouldn't watch Simon Whistler as I've seen incorrect information in several of his videos.
Yupp ; Canada is a dump
As a Canadian in NS I'd say we are on our way back to the economy of the late 80s early 90s
It getting hard to live.
An important topic to explore either on your own or a video is history between Canada and Indigenous peoples. It's a heavy subject but at the forefront of Canadian awareness in recent years since discoveries of mass graves at residential school. Many Canadians knew a level of the tragedy that is residential schools but not many knew which degree. This has had a big impact on nationalism in Canada, it is still very there but the tone is different and Canadians are more aware to see the highs and lows of our country. Also an awareness that we need to listen to Indigenous people as they have been trying to tell us for years on many issues.
Just want to correct that the term discovery isn't exactly right. Indigenous people knew and the government. The general public wasn't aware so it was presented as a discovery rather than a confirmation/acknowledgement.
The US also treated indigenous people the same way. They even had wars against them. Growing up we always knew there was graveyards at the residential schools with children in them. How is this surprise to everybody? We all knew.
@@personincognito3989 yes, there is definitely a lot of similar history on this. Awareness I imagine greatly depends on where one lives in Canada. There has been a push in the Ontario curriculum for all school boards to include teaching students about indigenous people and Canada's history with them. I'm 26, and when i was in grade school we vaguely learned about indigenous groups and there different culture. A little bit about negative impact of European settlers but really only in the sense of disease. It wasn't until high school when I took an optional course that I had learned more exclusively about residential schools, the reservse system, various issues like a lack of safe drinking water in many communities, or a general lack of community resources for many (not all). I had heard these terms and ideas in passing but hadn't been formally taught until then. I think the surprise many Canadians felt about the graves was more to do with the direct confrontation of the horrors that happened. Not because they thought it wasn't possible, more so just weren't thinking about it at all which is a big issue.
Canada is often presented as this wonderful country, which can lead Canadians to be unaware or forgetfull of many dark parts of our history. Like the internment camps for Japanese and italian citizens in Ww2. And our general history and present with racism. It very much exists here, but how may look or feel different than the US.
Actually that turned out to be a hoax to burn down Catholic churches which they did. The guy behind the hoax admitted it and tried it numerous times before.
If we are going to have an honest conversation on residential schools we need to discuss why people of the time thought they were neccisary. How many colonists were killed by tribes in the 1900s? How much land did they make unusable under threat of violence? What challenges did their separate culture, beliefs and governments create for the canadian gov? All topics thrown to the wayside because they challenge the social justice movement.
The Boxing match was sweet. Some boisterous Conservative kept challenging him to a fight claiming he wasn't tough enough. He finally accepted for charity and whooped him.
