I always imagined that perishable food would be nearly impossible to come by in a place like Iqaluit. Never did I imagine you could find poutine, shawarma, pizza, and fresh sandwiches. I gotta visit Nunavut one of these days.
This video made me realize how expensive Vancouver is. I usually pay around $12-14 for a large Shawarma in the city so I was expecting yours to be at least $30... but $18!?!?!? Damn. I need to get out of this ridiculous city. Lol
Precisely what he said. Foreign buyers buy up the houses but don't live in them, which means less money circulating in the local economy. So the people who do live here have to pay more to make up for it. Also the nice weather and beautiful scenery are large factors too.
Great reviews! I like that you thanked all of your servers! Are restaurants closed there because of Covid? If so, are they managing to serve take out? Can you do a video about the impact of the pandemic there? Thanks
They have been closed for a week and a half... (Even though Nunavut has no recorded cases of Covid 19) Still takeout though! Next upload will be the changes cheers
Bonjour, J'ai trouvé votre nom dans une vidéo sur RUclips. Je suis enseignant de primaire francophone. Je veux immigrer y Nunavut avec ma femme et mes petits quatre enfants . Comment je dois faire. J'ai cherché beaucoup sur internet la culture inuit je l'ai adorée . C'est magnifique ! Je veux apprendre la langue inuktitut. Merci d'avance
@@Evantures I'd like to see how one can eat on a budget in Iqaluit so this would be very helpful. Have you ever been to the KFC? I'd like to also see a video on it.
Where does the water usually get filled up? Is all the water potable up there? Why are you unable to refill the jugs yourself & why was refilling at the shawarma shop considered a lucky break? Thanks
Same prices as where I live 2000 kilometers away, but I always knew I was being shafted. Pulled the uno reverse card on government, though, didn't have a child.
You can sometimes get a caribou or musk ox burger at the Aqsarnit Hotel, but other than that you pretty much just have to ask a local. It’s called “country food” here, and is usually raw seal, whale, caribou, and Arctic Char.
I am dairy free and gluten free. Are there many options there for that? Do rotational workers bring in a lot of their own food to accommodate for things like this?
You dont want to try that here. And rotational workers often have food allowances or bring up to 50 pounds of luggage, so if they can bring stuff in, they do.
Dependent on where within Nunavut you are. I gave it a quick google and apparently each one decides if they want that community dry or not and it appears that 6 are. Seems interesting and I might want to give the place a visit some day… especially for that delicious food they have

Gotta say the language looks beautiful. Like script wise. Respect.

Wow that does seem pretty steep!! Covered in gold??
Yeah the high rent prices in Vancouver make living there expensive so the business owners charge an arm n a leg just to get by.

@@U4rikSoundin Ottawa the rent isn't terrible considering. Wait maybe it is bad...
@@Evanturesrents and mortgages are expensive here

I used to Fly through Iqaluit when heading north to work, never got the chance to stop and actually check out the town

Prices are not that bad considering the stupid amount it costs for food up there
For sure. I'll do a video on the cost of groceries!

Water pipes often freeze if you are on the utilidor, and if you get water delivered to your house, they take it to the tank beside your house.
When i worked in a small rural BC town they had the best pizza ever. Weird where the best pizza is. Not the big cities that's for sure
Couldn’t agree more 😅🍕
Do people there mostly speak their local language or English?
Next time try the In-Out-Burger, Jack-in-the-Box, McDonald's and the Taco Bell.

Same prices as where I live 2000 kilometers away, but I always knew I was being shafted. Pulled the uno reverse card on government, though, didn't have a child.

Did you need to ask from the community to make RUclips videos?
‘twould have been better if you used sisqo’s “thong song” for the background music.
I want to teach there, yeah. Will you recommend a school and can you provide an email address? Please.
No Love for The Nav, Frob and the Snack......
Are you Even
Population is around 8k
I know that your a grad four teacher
Poutine...forgot you are Canadian. Not a fan of poutine.
Yea not for everyone 😅
Based on this video, it appears that Iqaluit is 98% white.
It’s not, wtf are you talking about?
