Respect to Canada from Russia. I'd love to visit Canada someday. In fact, I think our countries are very similar in many aspects, with vastness and nature and cold winters... oh, and hockey :)
+goomba008 I think that's true most places...I'm in a mid-sized city in Ontario, and road rage is something I experience at least twice a day. Especially when there are slow-walking pedestrians in the crosswalk, and bicycles on the road, lol.
+goomba008 HOLY POOP. you said exactly what i was thinking, like holy shit Montreal would change his mind so fast, he wouldn't know what hit him--either an angry drunk beast, or a rig that doesn't know how to set his mirrors.
Whenever I hear someone from the States say "I live in the middle of nowhere" I laugh. You don't know "middle of nowhere" until you've lived in Northern Canada.
Then I would say Try Nunavut, If there ever was a middle of no where in North America that is it. And Nunavut is huge, much larger than Alaska. O ps 1/10th the population of Alaska as well. Also Northern Quebec the Angava Peninsula. or Northern Western Provinces, they are all bigger than Texas. and so on.
I love playing tour guide too. I met a couple a few years ago from the mid-western US. It was their first trip to the Maritimes (Atlantic Canada) and were headed to PEI. I suggested some places to visit.
hate the remoteness? i guess some people may hate it, but most true Canadians love it, the nature, animals, lakes. it is truly wonderful, i do understand the distance of some places is a negative, like living up north, when my grandma goes to her cottage she is a 2 hour drive from the nearest wal-mart, it is honestly amazing, i hate living in the city
Mario Bartolo I think what I wanted to say was that if you are driving and you are not used to the vast distances it could scare you (this was something a few tourists we bumped into in Kingston were mentioning to us)
woltersworld ahh makes sense, i could see how driving up north and getting lost in a remote area without cell phone reception is a negative, especially if you have no idea where you are or where to go, anyways if that ever happens don't be afraid to ask for directions, most people up here are friendly :)
Mario Bartolo Agreed, its beautiful and the wheather to americans is "Freezing" as to me, all winter I can wear a sweater then again im Canadian, and if you can stand our "Freezing" wheather then you can basically go anywhere thinking that its not even near cold
woltersworld ..It shouldn't scare you, you should enjoy and take in the wonders of Canada,after all it's the journey that counts and not the destination.
My Canadian children and husband have no appreciation for Canada. We take trips back to England to visit my family and they get soooo excited. I'm glad to see family, but not particularly excited to visit home and not interested in tourist bits. When we go camping, I get soooo excited! And my kids and husband are mildly interested. I pick these beautiful spots in the Northern Ontario and Quebec with less campers and it's just soooo quiet and have long beautiful drives. Grrr! Canadians! You fail to appreciate what you have! Fail!
Yeah I'd say the 400 series highways between Windsor-Toronto and the Golden Horseshoe, especially in Toronto, are just like big city driving in the States.
It was because of the Alberta oil boom. Unfortunately it will never happen again since our government is anti-oilsands/ anti-self reliance. With the USAs new found oil independence they don't need our oil anymore so they only refine it and then ship it back to us for triple the price. Instead of being smart and prospering from the resource we have here at home we're going to leave it in the ground and support terrorism and misogyny by buying it from Saudi Arabia instead. Why? Because its 2020.
As a Canadian who has lived in Japan for a long time, this is a reminder of just how lucky Canadians are. Sure, Japan is a fine and beautiful country with nice people and great food, but Canada is Canada. Canada is in many ways an inspiration to the rest of the world. Canada, to me, is an ideal. This video made me very home sick.
@Ryan Gagnon ------ Hmmmm, his name is Lonely Londoner and his avatar is a British flag. Where could he possibly be from? I just cant put my finger on it, LOL!
"Hate" and "Canada" should never be used in the same sentence. Canada is awesome. I am so glad to have them with us in the commonwealth, they are the nation all others should aspire to be.
Thanks for sharing this video! ..I will migrate to Alberta, Canada 2 months from now to be with my husband. I told my husband that I'm excited but scared at the same time.. I'm going to live in a country that is very different from where I came from.. Culture, Cold weather (I grew up in a tropical country), language, food, people, place, etc. Plus I don't have any friends or relatives there. It's a whole new world for me.. but I'm looking forward to meet amazing Canadians and begin my new life in Canada with my husband. :-)
I visited Canada (from Ireland) a few years ago and stayed in Ottawa with a couple of relatives. I remember the Canadian people being so friendly everywhere I went and I truly loved the experience. I would definitely go back (and if I ever get the courage try and live in Ontario for a couple of years). Beautiful country and wonderful people with a positive attitude to life.
I loved your take on Canada. I grew up in Europe (but was born in Montreal), and it took me a while to adjust to the long distances between major cities when we returned to Canada in 1968. I have always had an outsider's appreciation of Canada despite having been born here. I don't think Canadians realize that what we have is quite unique. I, too, love the multicultural aspect of this country. I travel downtown in Toronto where there are distinct neighbourhoods for many, many cultures. It's like travelling the world in 1 day. I'm glad you enjoyed your time here. We just love American visitors like you.
I've only been to Canada a couple times. Victoria was my favorite place I went but I'd love to explore all the beautiful national parks and etc. within Canada. Canada is so big.. I'm sure there is so much to see!
***** Yes, and sadly, half of the money allowed for your whole trip will go to the Bell Center. It is outragely expensive to go see the Habs. I used to buy 10 pairs of tickets at the old Forum each year. A shared season ticket. Not anymore. The only game I saw at the Bell Center was a $600 evening (I had been invited on coporate tickets)
Before Thunder Bay was amalgamated a city, I think it was Port Arthur that had quite a few streets with Finnish shops. It's been a while, since the bypass went in. It would take a Finn to live on the northern tip of Lake Superior!
whats funny is all these videos are based out out of Eastern Canada . Ive travelled from one end to the other by car 3 times Canada is more than Montreal or Toronto. Newfoundland probably the nicest people on the planet and a cool place to visit. and Im from Alberta thats my home .
+Dana WicNo, Canada abruptly ends at the Western Toronto City limits ! What is wrong with you? New Yorkers think that NOTHING exists past the Hudson River. New Jersey is a bridge to no where and nothing more. Toronto dwellers see Canada as being Toronto to PEI and nothing more. Sorry to burst your bubble. Upper Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, BC, Maniwhoha, ... those are all part of North Dakota or something... (laughing yet?)
+Dana Wick I was wondering what will happen to Canada with the OIL BUST. I am not laughing at all, this is serious because Canada has those tremendous reserves of OIL SANDS which can be ground to a fine powder and sifted into fuel.
+tommyboat64 Canada is already feeling the pinch here are some figures that have come out. Manufacturing of products for export brought the Canadian Government about 80 billion dollars in transfer payments now with that said most manufacturing is in Eastern Canada from light bulbs to Auto parts. The eastern part of Canada has always treated the West with disregard and disdain and think that we dont do anything significant for the Country. Alberta alone transfered 130 billion a year which is equal to what the Federal Government transfers to Quebec . Alberta Oil and Gas has been the largest employer in Canada with most of those employed in the Oil and Gas coming from Eastern Canada because we had work for them. Saskatchewan is also in the Oil and Gas business but i believe thats equal to their farming. Manitoba ( we really dont know what they do lol ) i believe they are mining and Farming. British Columbia are the Tree huggers of Canada beautiful province we have to give them that most of their wealth came from Logging which has been dealt a bad hand over the years but made up for it with the best pot in the world lol so they say. i dont partake in that BS. Alberta to has besides oil and gas farming and beef. Canada also has the best Ginsing in the world. Canada is not a Nationalistic Country our new Govt is trying to find some type of identity for us we already have one we may not be Nationalistic but we are certainly some of the most Patriotic Citizens on the planet.and we dont brag about it we just are. We do come together fully when there is adversary anywhere in the Country or the World despite what our new fancy selfie prime minister says. so was that enough for now ?? lol.
+Costco Wholesale Winter cold (-15 - -35C) postman wear long pants. At around -10C (mid-March), they wear shorts, if they want to. Simple. People say if you see a robin (American thrush) it's the first sign of spring. Here, it's the postmen.
Great video Mark. I've been to Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Banff and Vancouver and agree with all of your positives. Super friendly people was my biggest takeaway. By the way, loved how you pretended to touch your glasses (8:45) so you could glance at the cyclists walking by!
While jaywalkers are being rude (and breaking the law), I like that humans have the right of way. That's a highly civilized culture you've encountered.
As a Canadian I think it would work better the other way around. Reason being it is way easier to stop and look or get out of the way when you are a pedestrian than when your in a 2 ton vehicle going 50kph. Cars don’t stop very well and expecting them to stop for someone who walks into the road without looking doesn’t make sense. Obviously I think you should have to try and stop but saying the vehicle is legally at fault every time is simply not true, lots of times it’s the pedestrian that didn’t do there job to make sure it was safe.
i mean they kinda have the ROW at least in the us. maybe it’s just me, but im pretty sure most americans would stop if someone’s jaywalking across the road
@@UserName-ts3sp Where I have been in the U.S., a jaywalker who is not quick enough becomes legless. People driving cars do not want to run over people walking, but they will.
I am so pleased to have some one say that we are indeed different from our American counter-parts. Notice that I did not say better or worse. Just different. Thank you so much Wolter for a wonderful review of our country. The five hates were not that bad really. But, being a Canadian born and bred, I am very proud of my country and all that it stands for. Cheers!
Not cheap - tourist destinations often put a surcharge on top of your bill. This is often because they are responsible for paying the ads for that region that the city/province puts out for them. This can of course be expensive/cheap depending on exchange rates. So I suggest not actually staying directly in the area you are going to be exploring - you'll find more savings - and don't always go in the 'tourist season' unless there is some thing that you really want to see that time of year.
Toronto is one of my favorite places to visit. Canadian people being nice is an understatement, almost every place we went you made a new friend or found someone to go to the bar with. Also love the multiculturalism, there was different parades almost every day. 4 good thing is so true! I love baseball and when I went just happen to be when Toronto was hosting the world baseball classic. I recommend everyone go to Toronto at least once, and find someone local and go to a restaurant of their recommendation!
im actually from Canada,and Hoodie Ⓧ ,You come from hot/steaming weather and you wanna come to chilly summers and -60 freezeing winters? idk man,but ur choice!
I was waiting so badly for this video Mark!!! I lived over a year in this wonderful country and part of my heart is still there.. Fantastic pple and landscapes... u should do more videos about it!
Re crosswalks.... yes in Ontario, people cross the street in front of moving cars as if the crosswalk will protect them from an oncoming bus. In Quebec, if you try that, you’re getting run over.
Funny, that's not the perception we have in Quebec. Here, we feel safe jaywalking and such, but in ON, we feel like we're gonna get arrested by an overzealous cop.
Ice, yes, but (guffaw!) DO tell your wife that if you are going to tour here in July, her bikini just might also be on order. temperatures have huge variations, both seasonal and day to night. I have known as high as 37C - scorching! but I have also known -45 C with a 60 MPH wind on top.
I'm glad you mentioned poutine. If you are visiting Montreal and want the standard poutine, you can't go wrong anywhere with the possible exception of the fast food chains (the fries in poutine are normally a little thicker than what you get at McDonalds). If you want one of special poutines and don't care how much it shortens your life, I recommend the sloppy joe poutine from Poutine Centrale in Little Italy. It's exactly what it sounds like, Tex-Mex beef and cheddar on top of the fries and cheese curds of the traditional poutine and it is incredible.
In my city we have this place called the Whistle Stop, 100+ types of poutine, including things like pulled pork poutine and peameal poutine. Its basically poitine with toppings and it is amazing
Mix some stuff from around the world and you get what sounds like the fucking shit to eat! I can go there any time because I have right of blood so yeah :P
***** If you live in Southwestern Ontario down near the Windsor area winter isn't that bad. I live in Windsor, ON. and we have barely had any snow yet this winter and it's been fairly mild. This week is suppose to be pretty cold though. Our summers are really warm and humid though which is awesome.
I really agree with this guy ...Cananda is so good . I am really lucky to have come here and enjoyed these beautiful locations . People are super awesome and super friendly .
I live in Vancouver and here are my loves and hates: Loves: 1. the natural beauty of the nation, especially BC. 2. the amount of outdoor activities and short trips you can do around your city. 3. more space per person, unlike Europe or Asia. 4. the high school education, people who tried succeeded. 5. work culture, you don't need to worry about work after you go home. Hates: 1. political correctness. 2. expensive post secondary education. 3. major city traffic. 4. tipping and taxed everything. 5 taxation to pay for unwanted or unnecessary projects
This makes me so excited to visit Canada. The #3 thing that you listed as a hate is the very thing I love about Europe and cities like San Francisco, CA; Boulder, CO and Portland, OR - the empowered pedestrian. I love a city that is designed for walkers and bikers over automobiles!
Hey I have a tablet, I accidentally reported your comment as spam, I apologize, I don't know how to undo it, or even what happens when spam is reported. Sorry about that, just giving you a heads up.
From a viewer born and raised about 120 miles north of Toronto, I can confidently say, you nailed it, Mark. I love it here, and despite my Greek heritage (and all that entails), I'm sure I'll love living here until the day I die.
Idk? It's mostly prairies. However if you mean the sheer beauty and lack of human influence then yes! Truly a special province but then again most places in Canada are just as beautiful in there own prospect. (Outside of big cities)
We were driving through a rural part of Canada, and saw a little Punjabi man on a tractor, with his turban. I would never expect to see that in England, but you really do see ethnic diversity even in rural areas of Canada.
If you ever come back in the summer season the Stratford Festival has 4 theatres that put on chamber plays, musicals and Shakespearean plays. check out the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Stratford may be a small city however it is known world wide for theater. it is also only a couple of hours away from Toronto.
+InfinateDominance I almost ran over a mother and her two kids when they stepped out in front of my car.Then I got pissed because I almost killed 3 people and the mother turns to me and says (settle down,holy shit!) I cared more about their well being than she did! What in the fuck!
The reason why it's more expensive in Canada is because one US dollar is worth more than one Canadian dollar but it's close enough that retailers accept 20$ USD as 20$ CAD so really everything has the same value but the number of dollars is higher. But there are places like Vancouver that are VERY expensive you are right about that. Great video, keep it up!
Canada is one of my to go places And maybe to live there- it seems like a beautiful place Meanwhile my state is way over populated with people and it's so hot
I want to. We just ran out of time with he kids having to go back to school :( dang kids ruin all the long trip ideas ;) But we will be heading out that way for sure. Love Canada and will miss my Tim hortons :)
Hey Mark, great video, thank you! I love all your videos, it's very obvious that you do it with passion, and that you love traveling, you're funny and it's just a pleasure watching you. I check your you tube channel daily and hope to see some new videos! Your love and hates, are always very helpful and you point them out in such a friendly way. Keep it up, I am looking forward to your next videos! P.S. Do you plan to come to Serbia some day?
I have almost got to Serbia twice. I had tickets to go back in 2007 or 2008 but the day I was getting my train from Italy the us embassy was stormed :) the 2nd time was in 2012, but we changed plans last minute to go to a friends wedding in Italy. But the third time will be the charm :)
woltersworld Yeah, come to Serbia you won't be disappointed I am sure! Hey just been playing around, I think I have created a nicer template for your videos check it out here : my.jetscreenshot.com/12275/20140807-uouk-861kb.jpg It's just a screenshot but I can give you the file if you like it, feel free to use it. :) You helped me so many times with your videos so I am happy to help you back! Cheers!
Kristijan Binski that is nice. I have been debating on how to make a better screen shot for the videos. sometimes I feel like making the beautiful scenery pictures like you made or like a picture of the coliseum in Rome for Rome videos, but then I wonder if my subscibers might not think it is one of my videos, but just another "Rome" video. So I sometimes try to make sure one of the family is in the picture so the subscribers know its us. But dang, your's make it look so good!!!! Great job. And we are planning on coming to Serbia. I think we will do kind of a whirlwind tour with Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia. Kind of a former Yugoslavia swing. I think it would be amazing. I have met quite a few serbs on my travels and they have always been FUN to say the least :) honest as well.
woltersworld I hear what you're saying, good point! Well as a UI/UX designer I might be a bit more perfectionist than most of your other subscribers, but I tried to make it look better, The background image it's just an example so you could always replace this, I was also focusing on the other elements, like your logo is semi transparent, I think that's pretty cool, than you have the main headline, and subheadline below (different font, not shadow, but there is a semi transparent box in behind so the text stands out more). These could also be "hate #1 : it's expensive" and then some more description below etc.. Just like you did in your other videos but it looks a bit better. Don't get me wrong but I really did not liked much that dropshadows on the text, they are just too large in my opinion :-) So yea if you need any help like that, don't hesitate to get in touch (kristijanbinski@gmail.com), I will be happy to help you out free of charge! Haha yeah, that would be a crazy tour, to visit all those places in former Yugoslavia, you only missed Macedonia.. Btw, the prices here in Serbia are more than affordable, I already can see that this would be your number 1 love, or maybe the food, I'm not quite sure actually but one of those two would be number 1 for sure! :-)
I am also limited by the software I have. I need to spend the money and get "real" editing software and such so the videos look and feel more professional. Thank you for all the tips.
Haha, it's fun to hear Americans talk about Canada, hopefully I visit the US someday to see the differences myself. I've been nearly everywhere you talked about here, and think you've got it down pat. Our minimum wage is going up, which is good bc not all service industry jobs can get tips (like cashiers, stockers, etc).
Spend 9 years studying alone in this country. Love it! People here are super friendly and nice, even though driving in Montreal is such a pain. Love the winter and the cold here (I'm dead serious!) It's Canada! You need to enjoy the cold and the winter sports! Nature is wonderful here as well! You really need to get out there and enjoy the nature! It's what makes it Canada!
I don't want to take anything away from the places you mentioned but you didn't talk much at all about Western Canada. The Rocky Mountains, the Atlantic Ocean, the straights in around Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary Regina, with their individual beauty and wonderful festivals. Etc etc... so much else in a very diverse country. Winnipeg fishing areas. I could go on, but these areas were conspicuously overlooked.
Canada has done a poor job marketing it's self in the world. I am an ex pat Canadian living in Brazil. I don't mind at all when people think I'm american, but when I tell them I'm Canadian, many say: Oh, it's the same. Your american. That pisses me off! and I am NOT anti-american in any way! I then call them Americans, which they take offense .. so I make my point, and still some will still refer to me as American, no matter what! I think only an Austrian, or New Zealander could understand a Canadians perspective on this issue. We are Canadian, and we are proud! no, I don't miss the snow and cold. Thanks very much!
_Canada has done a poor job marketing it's self in the world._ Couldn't tell by me. I spend several weeks of the summer in the rockies (mostly Jasper - Banff has become a tad too crowded and "touristy" for me) and - no joke - most of the people I meet on the hiking trails are either German or British. It never fails to amaze me how many Germans and Brits come to our mountains. Hells, even the park rangers are often surprised to hear that I'm an Albertan.
***** I don't know why Canada has such a stereotype of being sooo cold, it's only really cold for 3 months surrounded by mild, and REALLY hot summers. There are many other countries that are way colder.
No joke, I visited Toronto in July with a friend who is also from the states and we were walking to the Royal Ontario Museum from the CN Tower and we saw two guys walking the other direction with hockey sticks. None the less, I would highly recommend visiting Canada I want to go visit there again! Wonderful people!
Dude I live in Canada and what you are saying only really applies to the east and central Canada. Come to the west and you will be floored you can't really pigeon whole us. Also we don't just eat poutine and maple syrup. Try smarties or coffee crisp
I'm a Canadian, and i just want to say "thank you" for noticing (and saying in your video) that there are differences between us and the States. You earned a like from me!
Great video! I leave for Toronto in 13 days. We're driving from Maine. I have no idea what to expect at all out of this trip other than seeing some really beautiful places along the way.
Chris Jones - Bieber is America's fault....they make those things...not us. We make the Hip, Blue Rodeo, Cohen, Rush ya know...music artists. Not pop stars.
Awesome. Canada is awesome. I hope u guys dont mind a arab. Iam not very religious so that might help. Loool. Come visit kuwait. U can play in sand almost ANYWHERE and u can eat camel and lizards oh and the best you can interview isis members and maybe if u lucky get chased by them. And we have a lot of oil.
Ahmed Al-Mudhi Religion is a personal business, and usually Canadians respect that, so as long as you keep it for yourself and behave properly, you're welcome in Canada. From a Tunisian muslim living in Montreal :)
Oh man, I gotta admit that you're right on the nose about distances between places. I mean, it's not really a bad or a good thing - it is what it is; but yeah, it can take AGES to get between some cities when you're visiting. Also, I agree on taxes. They should have the total amount on the price before the point of sale.
It's more for my European followers who think Canada and the usa are like europe. 2 hours and I'm in another country, while in Canada I'm only 1/3 of the way through new Brunswick :)
+woltersworld It's so true! I lived in Scotland for a few years and had a roommate from Germany who just could not wrap his head around the size of the country. We checked on a map and realized that the distance from Vancouver to Toronto is roughly the same as Berlin to Bagdad. If you were driving that, you'd be going through at least 5 other countries! :D
toronto and montreal are not in the same province.... if you notice I used 2 cities within a province :P like me saying Edmonton to Saskatoon is 6 hours as well :P I was simply making a statement that Canada is large and have no clue why you had to re compare it with eastern cities lmao
You are both right. common values, but different people and culture. its hard to explain but we are different in the west. I am from Saskatchewan. Where it literally can be -30 one day +1 one the next and back to -30 the day after.
Jay Bauer Enjoyed Canada in July, even in the Yukon. But I found Calgary dangerously cold in March. Believe it or not Canada, spring is supposed to start in March, not April.
Yup Saskatoon in January, Feb, March. can range from -35 to 0 not talking wind chill. it has hit close to -50 with the windchill the last 2 years. one day last years. it was -30 one day +1 on the next and -30 the day after.
You go all over Europe where people walking and people on bikes far outnumber any cars, but then complain about "empowered" pedestrians and cyclists in a country where the roadways are still heavily biased towards car use only. Bizarre.
You keep talking about how wonderful Banff National Park (Alberta) and Vancouver (British Columbia) are in your video, but your video segments are all filmed in Eastern Canada. This is why everyone from around the world thinks all Canada has to offer is in Eastern Canada (Toronto, in particular). Because USA tourists only ever film or talk about that part of the country, it seems. But this is a HUGE country, and the West is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. You need to SHOW people Western Canada on your next video rather than just making a couple of brief comments about it. You need to SHOW them the beauty British Columbia and Alberta. These two provinces are very different from the East. In fact, all the provinces offer something quite different and unique, even the prairie provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. (Other than that, I agree with pretty much everything you say in your video. Empowered pedestrians ... ha ha. Funny because it's true! And YES, the poutine is wonderful here ... in both the East and the West!)
Awesome, Kim . Enjoyed your comments......."The West is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful." Yes, it is . Wish you many blessings, from a Prairie boy, halfway around the World.
There are several reasons why beer is so good in Quebec. 1. The oldest brewery in North America is located in Montreal, and it is the Molson Brewery. 2. when the first French settlers came to Quebec, they did not have access to wine. Since there were no vines. 3. So they started making beer to get an alcohol to drink. 4. Today in the province of Quebec, there are more than 150 microbreweries... they are so popular and their products so delicious, that Quebecers are drinking less and less commercial beers like Molson, Labatt, Moosehead, Heineken, etc.
A few remarks from Canada! 1) Poutine is yummy, but I would only asuggest it for young boys who have been playing their hockey hearts out on some outdoor rink half the day at 30 below, wind in addition. Other than that, Pouitine is terible for your health. Now we all like sugar and syrup, so if you are in the Montreal area, find a Crepe Breton restaurant. there are a number of them not so far from Lafontaine parc, just a bit east of the downtown middle. Don't use a car or taxi to gewt there, use our rubber-tired underground metro. Typical of Canadian cities, for a city of comparable size ve=is a vie the u.S., public transit will be mocu more available and extensive. That's because it is generally government managed. In Montreal, a bus ticket for the S.T.M. can take you (one way) from Ste. Anne de bellevue in the West to the LeGardeur bridge in the east, a distance of about 40 miles. As for Quebec outside of Momtreal, the French her will say >.. This means 2 things: Yes, it IS geographically an island in the province of quebec, but... More in the emotive content of that saying ius the big contrast between Montreal, where you will find some 80 languages on a day, and some 30 miles out of town. The latter is as different as if it were a foreign country! Likely you will hear little else but French (with some exceptional pockets) and a far more rural, but very happy environment, once you get to understand the social environment as much as the language. Above all, French Canadians are an EMOTIVE society. They are Language proud, but not condescendingly so. In fact the very word "pirde" has two different words in French: > (fie-ahr-TEH) is rightful pride ,, orgueuil >> (ohr -GUEIL) is condescending pride, and pejorative. The mere fact that these two distinct word existroutinely, says that they make a big distinction about emotive issues, but both as good as bad and as bad as good. If you try to speak French, but are very limited, and your most broken effort genuinely shows through, they will likely light up like a Christmas tree in that joy they call > or Joy of Living. When I first came to Qurebec from Ontario as a boy of 11 years, nobody told me anything nearly adequate, but when, in technical school some years later, I visited one of the studsent activities, and a french man asked me if I spoke French, and I replied in the French I knew at the time, he did light up "like a Christmas tree". I have many more special memories of those years, so far back. An unexpected pleasant surprise! As for Toronto, from Montreal you could drive, but I would not recommend it. It's 6 hour 500 km. drive and not really the most exciting. Also, to avoid heavy traffic in Toronto, you would need to be on the road in Montreal no later than 7:30 AM. Better head down to Central Station and take the Via train. That will do the trip in more like 4 hours, and avoid Toronto's traffic. Arriving at Union Station in toronto about noon, you can find lots of restaurants in that immediate area, and get arount toronto by going undergraound to the Union Subway station and using the subway system whoich stretches for tens of miles. There's about 7 more bus companies that also work with all that, learn the colour system they use, and match that on the streets with the bus stop signs. You can also use Amtrak to get to Montreal. From Penn Station in NYC, take the Adirondack and it will get you to Montreal's Central Station. Amtrak services also will connect to Toronto fron NYC, and in joint service with VIA rail from Chicago. Videos of many of these are here on You tube. also take carteful note of expected weather from Enviornment canada as you go. Temperatures can have very large variations both from day to night and throughout the 4 seasons. I have known as low as 45 below and as high as 37 Celsius aat different times. That'as a HUGE difference and should be considered seriously.
Agreed I love hockey always have play it as much as possible wishing everyone's house had a rink with air conditioners in the bottom yup air conditioners the cold air not only keeps me cool but if I get to cold I will play until I die with 110% then I'm warmed up
some of these comments make me sick. there are some rally bigheaded Canadians that are thinking that they are so amazing. AND BEFORE YOU HAVE A GO AT ME I AM CANADIAN MYSELF. all I'm saying is that I am really happy that Canada is widely regarded as a polite and friendly nation, but that's not going to last for long if our people start getting bigheaded about it. truth is, we have a lot we could learn from the states. as much as I absolutely adore Canada and am a proud Canadian, there are still flaws in our country and were not perfect not better than anyone. :)
"We have a lot we could learn from the states" ??? In the States, GUN CONTROL means using both hands !!! ha ha ha ha ha ha, Seriously though, America has a wide range of different lands, people and ways. I think we do learn a lot from Americans, benefitting from a lot of really good writers, thinkers, musicians, artists.........
Hahaha empowered cross walking for the won. As a person who grew up near toronto and currently lives in Ottawa... it never even occurred to me that pedestrians would NOT have the right of way. I find it pretty funny that foreigners would be surprised that as a driver you have to yield to a bike or pedestrian.
Christopher Miller The uploader doesn't seem to realize that some pedestrians are disabled or elderly and can't sprint across the road, or that sometimes the middle of the block may actually be safer than the official crosswalk. At least that's how it is in some places when the city doesn't bother to clean the ice off the sidewalk on the corners, but the businesses elsewhere are more considerate. And moms with a lot of kids do take longer to get everyone across the road.
I went to Montreal and Quebec City several years ago. I never had a better time. The culture is great! I was there in October and it was chilly, but being from Long Island it didn't bother me at all. Yes prices of clothing and items at the pharmacy were pricey as compared with the U.S. But the rate of exchange was .75 U.S cent to 1.00 CND so my money did go farther. Didn't have a problem with not speaking French as well as the locals. Everyone was friendly and polite. The public transportation is efficient and clean. The night life was great. The food was some of the best I have ever eaten. I cannot wait to travel to Toronto next year.
That was 2014, however. Right now our peso -er- dollar is a piddly 77¢ or so against the US buck. For every 20 Ameribux you exchange, you'll get 25 Canabux, which really helps out as prices (except for gas) will look really quite similar.
If anyone was to travel to Canada from over seas especially, Saskatchewan isn’t a place I would recommend visiting lol. Jasper and Banff I would recommend. Or the big cities Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal. Or even Nova Scotia or Newfoundland. Saskatchewan wouldn’t make the list.
I have a great uncle who did very well for himself in Canada. In the 70s he moved from Ireland to Toronto then after a few years of being heavily involved with unions the Canadian Post office offered to pay for him to study as a Lawyer so long as he would work for them for several years upon obtaining his degree. Considering he was from a working class family in a council house he did very very well for himself. Back in Ireland he would not have had the opportunities Canada gave him. Now he is living with his French Canadian wife in Ottawa and loving life.
Central/Northern Alberta roads are the worst I've seen anywhere. And Ive been to 23 countries. Its sad that I thought it was normal until I grew up and travelled outside alberta to other places and saw how perfect roads can be
I don't think the roads are bad in Alberta, it's more the weather that freaks me out while driving on said roads. The trip between Calgary and Edmonton can be scary if it snows.
I live in Texas...and I eat Poutine all the time!...No..unfortunately they don't sell it here nor have most people ever heard of it...but the ingredients are easy to find..so I make my own!..And it is delisious!..:-)
I must admit when I saw your title I had to roll my eyes. I suspected you, like many others who travel blog about Canada, to be way off the mark on the likes and dislikes. After watching the video in its entirety my initial thoughts were wrong. You hit it spot on. Well done! BTW, thanks for giving lots of airtime to PEI. We often get forgotten or overlooked by travel bloggers and column writers. Keep traveling, love your stuff!!!
Catweasle yeah!! Thinking bout going there for college too. Quite a couple of my friends are there. Don't know whether to go to the us or Canada or Aussie but I don't want to go while trump's president
Respect to Canada from Russia. I'd love to visit Canada someday. In fact, I think our countries are very similar in many aspects, with vastness and nature and cold winters... oh, and hockey :)
Yes they are very similar, I wish to travel to Russia someday as well!
I've always felt the same, Canada and Russia are very similar.
Canada also is quite friendly with Scotland.
Canada also is quite friendly with Scotland.
Come to canada! Its great here
"The people are friendly drivers". Well maybe outside cities. Don't drive in Montreal, it will turn you into a hateful monster.
It is unfortuntely true.
+goomba008 Or in Reddeer in Alberta...
+goomba008 I think that's true most places...I'm in a mid-sized city in Ontario, and road rage is something I experience at least twice a day. Especially when there are slow-walking pedestrians in the crosswalk, and bicycles on the road, lol.
+goomba008 HOLY POOP. you said exactly what i was thinking, like holy shit Montreal would change his mind so fast, he wouldn't know what hit him--either an angry drunk beast, or a rig that doesn't know how to set his mirrors.
+goomba008 Edmonton is fairly bad to for drivers, noone knows how to merge its brutal (coming from someone that lives there)
Whenever I hear someone from the States say "I live in the middle of nowhere" I laugh. You don't know "middle of nowhere" until you've lived in Northern Canada.
well then try Alaska, Americas islands, the mid west, its deserts ........
Then I would say Try Nunavut, If there ever was a middle of no where in North America that is it. And Nunavut is huge, much larger than Alaska. O ps 1/10th the population of Alaska as well. Also Northern Quebec the Angava Peninsula. or Northern Western Provinces, they are all bigger than Texas. and so on.
+stephen arellano -You do realize that Canada sold Alaska to the U.S., right?
+Will Thompson you mean America bought it from Russia, southeast maybe from Canada
Also Nova Scotia has lots of remote areas lol
“People will literally plan your vacation for you.” True. I love playing tour guide and showing people around. 😊
That's awesome. Thank you.
I love playing tour guide too. I met a couple a few years ago from the mid-western US. It was their first trip to the Maritimes (Atlantic Canada) and were headed to PEI. I suggested some places to visit.
hate the remoteness? i guess some people may hate it, but most true Canadians love it, the nature, animals, lakes. it is truly wonderful, i do understand the distance of some places is a negative, like living up north, when my grandma goes to her cottage she is a 2 hour drive from the nearest wal-mart, it is honestly amazing, i hate living in the city
Mario Bartolo I think what I wanted to say was that if you are driving and you are not used to the vast distances it could scare you (this was something a few tourists we bumped into in Kingston were mentioning to us)
woltersworld ahh makes sense, i could see how driving up north and getting lost in a remote area without cell phone reception is a negative, especially if you have no idea where you are or where to go, anyways if that ever happens don't be afraid to ask for directions, most people up here are friendly :)
***** exactly!! I would much rather spend nice a weekend up north camping with friends than to go to a party. it's so peaceful
Mario Bartolo Agreed, its beautiful and the wheather to americans is "Freezing" as to me, all winter I can wear a sweater then again im Canadian, and if you can stand our "Freezing" wheather then you can basically go anywhere thinking that its not even near cold
woltersworld ..It shouldn't scare you, you should enjoy and take in the wonders of Canada,after all it's the journey that counts and not the destination.
geez I am Canadian and this guy makes me want to go check out Canada.
Essardee because its an awesome place ;)
Essardee ha ha ha
My Canadian children and husband have no appreciation for Canada. We take trips back to England to visit my family and they get soooo excited. I'm glad to see family, but not particularly excited to visit home and not interested in tourist bits. When we go camping, I get soooo excited! And my kids and husband are mildly interested. I pick these beautiful spots in the Northern Ontario and Quebec with less campers and it's just soooo quiet and have long beautiful drives. Grrr! Canadians! You fail to appreciate what you have! Fail!
I LOL'd.
Do it don't just think about it. I have 1 province left to see.
" The drivers are friendly, they'll let you in", lol, tell that to this southern ontarian
touche ;)
You have a point
Yeah I'd say the 400 series highways between Windsor-Toronto and the Golden Horseshoe, especially in Toronto, are just like big city driving in the States.

or alberta
I wish we were still 1 to 1 with the $US.
I ate an avocado for the first time last year. My life was changed forever. :)
That was a glorious time.
It was because of the Alberta oil boom. Unfortunately it will never happen again since our government is anti-oilsands/ anti-self reliance. With the USAs new found oil independence they don't need our oil anymore so they only refine it and then ship it back to us for triple the price. Instead of being smart and prospering from the resource we have here at home we're going to leave it in the ground and support terrorism and misogyny by buying it from Saudi Arabia instead. Why? Because its 2020.
Canada is truly a remarkable and beautiful place. Food, entertainment, history, nature, amazing people and culture, we have it all.
As a Canadian who has lived in Japan for a long time, this is a reminder of just how lucky Canadians are. Sure, Japan is a fine and beautiful country with nice people and great food, but Canada is Canada. Canada is in many ways an inspiration to the rest of the world. Canada, to me, is an ideal. This video made me very home sick.
I get homesick for Toronto, hence my name.
aww :(, one of most amazing moments was coming from australia back to Calgary AB Ca and breathing the fresh mountain air..
Thats only your opinion. As an international student in Canada I have to say I'm glad I don't live in this backwater country
LonelyLondoner Loser go back to your country lol
@Ryan Gagnon ------ Hmmmm, his name is Lonely Londoner and his avatar is a British flag. Where could he possibly be from? I just cant put my finger on it, LOL!
"Hate" and "Canada" should never be used in the same sentence.
Canada is awesome. I am so glad to have them with us in the commonwealth, they are the nation all others should aspire to be.
Whoami691 well you just did. lol
Thank you very much,my commonwealth brother
@@thatbluecactus9490 Really? Nope
I agree!
Commonwealth should be abolished along with andrenochrome loving royals
Thanks for sharing this video! ..I will migrate to Alberta, Canada 2 months from now to be with my husband.
I told my husband that I'm excited but scared at the same time.. I'm going to live in a country that is very different from where I came from.. Culture, Cold weather (I grew up in a tropical country), language, food, people, place, etc. Plus I don't have any friends or relatives there. It's a whole new world for me.. but I'm looking forward to meet amazing Canadians and begin my new life in Canada with my husband. :-)
You'll it enjoy in Alberta.
+Skip Sandwich nah it's colder in Manitoba
nice
I hope you love it here in Canada. Lots of great places to visit.
girl trust me Canada is beautiful and last winter At least in toronto didn't come until February and it wasn't a bad one we barely had a winter
I love my country. I love the people in it. And I feel so lucky everyday to call myself a Canadian. Respect is driven into our hearts.
Well said, fellow Canuck!

I visited Canada (from Ireland) a few years ago and stayed in Ottawa with a couple of relatives. I remember the Canadian people being so friendly everywhere I went and I truly loved the experience. I would definitely go back (and if I ever get the courage try and live in Ontario for a couple of years). Beautiful country and wonderful people with a positive attitude to life.
I would love for you to visit again!
Canada is clean too!!
Most of it is super clean.
+Noah Glover except B.C, Canada.
ᄃ최윤석 If you're in Richmond or Surrey it's dirty but the rest of BC's pretty good.
Most of Canada but NOT Vancouver it's really dirty in some parts
+TomBoy12 Love12 vancouvers is one of the nicest every city has its dirty parts but Vancouver is actually really beautiful
I loved your take on Canada. I grew up in Europe (but was born in Montreal), and it took me a while to adjust to the long distances between major cities when we returned to Canada in 1968. I have always had an outsider's appreciation of Canada despite having been born here. I don't think Canadians realize that what we have is quite unique. I, too, love the multicultural aspect of this country. I travel downtown in Toronto where there are distinct neighbourhoods for many, many cultures. It's like travelling the world in 1 day. I'm glad you enjoyed your time here. We just love American visitors like you.
I love Canada, it's one of my favorite countries. Greetings from Finland!:)
thehusky1234
Greetings from Canada :)
Cheerz back! One of my best childhood memories was fishing in my families cabins among the lakes(In Finland), i was just a kid but
I've only been to Canada a couple times. Victoria was my favorite place I went but I'd love to explore all the beautiful national parks and etc. within Canada. Canada is so big.. I'm sure there is so much to see!
Next time you visit come to Calgary, Alberta
*****
Yes, and sadly, half of the money allowed for your whole trip will go to the Bell Center. It is outragely expensive to go see the Habs. I used to buy 10 pairs of tickets at the old Forum each year. A shared season ticket. Not anymore. The only game I saw at the Bell Center was a $600 evening (I had been invited on coporate tickets)
Dear Canada - someday I will visit you. It's my biggest dream.
It's really nice here in Canada I love it here😆
Karim Saleem
Lucky you. Enjoy. I've wanted to live in Canada for a long time. It would be lovely to atleast visit a few places.
countroshculla Where are you right now?
xXHondaFanXx
India
countroshculla im in Canada. Wanna trade places?
I'd so want to live in Canada, daamn. You guys seem friendly there and i love ice hockey much as Canadians do haha! cheers from Finland
yeah there are a lot of Finnish people here
You should move to Newfoundland from Canada a lot of people pronounce it Newfinland
:D
Before Thunder Bay was amalgamated a city, I think it was Port Arthur that had quite a few streets with Finnish shops. It's been a while, since the bypass went in. It would take a Finn to live on the northern tip of Lake Superior!
***** nice to see another tbayer on here!
whats funny is all these videos are based out out of Eastern Canada . Ive travelled from one end to the other by car 3 times Canada is more than Montreal or Toronto. Newfoundland probably the nicest people on the planet and a cool place to visit. and Im from Alberta thats my home .
This trip was PEI to Toronto yes. Next trip is out west so don't worry will get both sides of the story ;)
+Dana WicNo, Canada abruptly ends at the Western Toronto City limits ! What is wrong with you? New Yorkers think that NOTHING exists past the Hudson River. New Jersey is a bridge to no where and nothing more. Toronto dwellers see Canada as being Toronto to PEI and nothing more. Sorry to burst your bubble. Upper Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, BC, Maniwhoha, ... those are all part of North Dakota or something... (laughing yet?)
+woltersworld lol well nows a good time to come the dollar is crap and everyone out here is unemployed hahaaha. looking forward to your visit
+Dana Wick I was wondering what will happen to Canada with the OIL BUST. I am not laughing at all, this is serious because Canada has those tremendous reserves of OIL SANDS which can be ground to a fine powder and sifted into fuel.
+tommyboat64 Canada is already feeling the pinch here are some figures that have come out. Manufacturing of products for export brought the Canadian Government about 80 billion dollars in transfer payments now with that said most manufacturing is in Eastern Canada from light bulbs to Auto parts. The eastern part of Canada has always treated the West with disregard and disdain and think that we dont do anything significant for the Country. Alberta alone transfered 130 billion a year which is equal to what the Federal Government transfers to Quebec . Alberta Oil and Gas has been the largest employer in Canada with most of those employed in the Oil and Gas coming from Eastern Canada because we had work for them. Saskatchewan is also in the Oil and Gas business but i believe thats equal to their farming. Manitoba ( we really dont know what they do lol ) i believe they are mining and Farming. British Columbia are the Tree huggers of Canada beautiful province we have to give them that most of their wealth came from Logging which has been dealt a bad hand over the years but made up for it with the best pot in the world lol so they say. i dont partake in that BS.
Alberta to has besides oil and gas farming and beef. Canada also has the best Ginsing in the world.
Canada is not a Nationalistic Country our new Govt is trying to find some type of identity for us we already have one we may not be Nationalistic but we are certainly some of the most Patriotic Citizens on the planet.and we dont brag about it we just are. We do come together fully when there is adversary anywhere in the Country or the World despite what our new fancy selfie prime minister says. so was that enough for now ?? lol.
I'm Canadian and the winters here are nothing to Canadians....i mean -1 or -2 you'll see some people in shorts and a t shirt or no shirt at all.
I've never seen that. At least where I live, people dress sensibly.
In Winnipeg, I know Spring's coming & its above freezing because the postmen (& women) are wearing shorts.
Kevin Babb ?
+Costco Wholesale
Winter cold (-15 - -35C) postman wear long pants. At around -10C (mid-March), they wear shorts, if they want to. Simple.
People say if you see a robin (American thrush) it's the first sign of spring. Here, it's the postmen.
I'd die! I was there in the summer and it was too cold for shorts.
Great video Mark. I've been to Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Banff and Vancouver and agree with all of your positives. Super friendly people was my biggest takeaway. By the way, loved how you pretended to touch your glasses (8:45) so you could glance at the cyclists walking by!
Tricky man I am ;) thanks for watching!
go to the prairies and watch your dog running away for two days!
While jaywalkers are being rude (and breaking the law), I like that humans have the right of way. That's a highly civilized culture you've encountered.
As a Canadian I think it would work better the other way around. Reason being it is way easier to stop and look or get out of the way when you are a pedestrian than when your in a 2 ton vehicle going 50kph. Cars don’t stop very well and expecting them to stop for someone who walks into the road without looking doesn’t make sense. Obviously I think you should have to try and stop but saying the vehicle is legally at fault every time is simply not true, lots of times it’s the pedestrian that didn’t do there job to make sure it was safe.
@@KyleMeyer949 50KPH isn't that fast.
i mean they kinda have the ROW at least in the us. maybe it’s just me, but im pretty sure most americans would stop if someone’s jaywalking across the road
@@UserName-ts3sp Where I have been in the U.S., a jaywalker who is not quick enough becomes legless. People driving cars do not want to run over people walking, but they will.
I am so pleased to have some one say that we are indeed different from our American counter-parts. Notice that I did not say better or worse. Just different. Thank you so much Wolter for a wonderful review of our country. The five hates were not that bad really. But, being a Canadian born and bred, I am very proud of my country and all that it stands for. Cheers!
British Columbia in the spring time is undoubtedly the most beautiful part in North America.
as are you
I always go there for my spring holiday.
I agree!
Not cheap - tourist destinations often put a surcharge on top of your bill. This is often because they are responsible for paying the ads for that region that the city/province puts out for them. This can of course be expensive/cheap depending on exchange rates. So I suggest not actually staying directly in the area you are going to be exploring - you'll find more savings - and don't always go in the 'tourist season' unless there is some thing that you really want to see that time of year.
Toronto is one of my favorite places to visit. Canadian people being nice is an understatement, almost every place we went you made a new friend or found someone to go to the bar with. Also love the multiculturalism, there was different parades almost every day. 4 good thing is so true! I love baseball and when I went just happen to be when Toronto was hosting the world baseball classic. I recommend everyone go to Toronto at least once, and find someone local and go to a restaurant of their recommendation!
We were in Toronto while they were out of town so couldn't get to a game, but the people love their bluejays for sure. Thanks for writing!
woltersworld thank u
I LOVE SAINT JOHN'S AND TORONTO :D Harbour Grace is cool too
Thanks Packer!
to be honest canadians can be very polite to the point you feel you are the rude dude.. i swear those people are from a different planet
(I'm from Australia and i'd love to go to Canada after watching this because it sounds amazing! I love the accent o3o)
im actually from Canada,and Hoodie Ⓧ ,You come from hot/steaming weather and you wanna come to chilly summers and -60 freezeing winters? idk man,but ur choice!

No thx XD

We(canadians) have accents?
Hey Mark.....people in Canada on bicycles are cyclists not bikers. Bikers ride motorcycles.
I know. I had a mind fart at that moment :)
Canada is the most beautiful and welcoming country for the tourists .
I was waiting so badly for this video Mark!!! I lived over a year in this wonderful country and part of my heart is still there.. Fantastic pple and landscapes... u should do more videos about it!
We have 10 more ananda videos to go so stay tuned :)
Re crosswalks.... yes in Ontario, people cross the street in front of moving cars as if the crosswalk will protect them from an oncoming bus.
In Quebec, if you try that, you’re getting run over.
Funny, that's not the perception we have in Quebec. Here, we feel safe jaywalking and such, but in ON, we feel like we're gonna get arrested by an overzealous cop.
Lots of remote locations is my favorite part of Canada, (I'm Canadian)!!!
I was born and lived in Canada for 40+ years and never once have I eaten poutine. I loved living there and go back to visit as much as I can.
Canada is very important because that's where ice comes from! :)
steve salzano well, there you go ;)
***** Of course I am joking, note the :) at the end of the sentence.
Riding moose if they weren't so hard to find xD
Ice, yes, but (guffaw!) DO tell your wife that if you are going to tour here in July, her bikini just might also be on order. temperatures have huge variations, both seasonal and day to night. I have known as high as 37C - scorching! but I have also known -45 C with a 60 MPH wind on top.
I'm glad you mentioned poutine. If you are visiting Montreal and want the standard poutine, you can't go wrong anywhere with the possible exception of the fast food chains (the fries in poutine are normally a little thicker than what you get at McDonalds). If you want one of special poutines and don't care how much it shortens your life, I recommend the sloppy joe poutine from Poutine Centrale in Little Italy. It's exactly what it sounds like, Tex-Mex beef and cheddar on top of the fries and cheese curds of the traditional poutine and it is incredible.
gturner38 I give you a thumbs up just because you put the word Poutine in this comment :)
In my city we have this place called the Whistle Stop, 100+ types of poutine, including things like pulled pork poutine and peameal poutine. Its basically poitine with toppings and it is amazing
Its hard to take your review seriously when mention a shit shop like Mcdiddys
Mix some stuff from around the world and you get what sounds like the fucking shit to eat! I can go there any time because I have right of blood so yeah :P
If you visit Montreal you must try their world famous smoked Meat sandwiches their to die for.
I'm really thinking about moving to Canada, im so bored and tired of London :/
There's always London, Ontario
***** dude what is with you in Australia? Just asking.
Same here, London is pretty boring! Been wanting to move to Canada for few years, I'm looking for work over there atm :)
***** If you live in Southwestern Ontario down near the Windsor area winter isn't that bad. I live in Windsor, ON. and we have barely had any snow yet this winter and it's been fairly mild. This week is suppose to be pretty cold though. Our summers are really warm and humid though which is awesome.
thanks!
Greetings from Germany and a hello to all Canadians ^^
hi
Hello
heyyy
Boujour
:D
I really agree with this guy ...Cananda is so good . I am really lucky to have come here and enjoyed these beautiful locations . People are super awesome and super friendly .
+vishwas jain I wish I met those people. My experience was just the opposite.
+Day2DayWithMcK I am going back again next month. I hope my experience remains the same.
I live in Vancouver and here are my loves and hates:
Loves:
1. the natural beauty of the nation, especially BC.
2. the amount of outdoor activities and short trips you can do around your city.
3. more space per person, unlike Europe or Asia.
4. the high school education, people who tried succeeded.
5. work culture, you don't need to worry about work after you go home.
Hates:
1. political correctness.
2. expensive post secondary education.
3. major city traffic.
4. tipping and taxed everything.
5 taxation to pay for unwanted or unnecessary projects
If you think post secondary education in Vancouver is expensive you must be dirt poor
I still pay taxes for the Toronto Roads Fund, which hasn't worked out for the last 2 tax seasons.
Thank you for the flattering review of Canada! :)
This makes me so excited to visit Canada. The #3 thing that you listed as a hate is the very thing I love about Europe and cities like San Francisco, CA; Boulder, CO and Portland, OR - the empowered pedestrian. I love a city that is designed for walkers and bikers over automobiles!
I love that the first thing I hear from Canada is a police siren lol
where in the hell is can a da...arh just up the road from the you es ah.
ha hax100,000,000,000 one day i would love to visit Canada..
Hey I have a tablet, I accidentally reported your comment as spam, I apologize, I don't know how to undo it, or even what happens when spam is reported. Sorry about that, just giving you a heads up.
sissaboolives2012 lol its ok, I didn't even know I got spammed, nothing happened so far...
Great didn't want Google to boycott you or something, Don't know how these things work lol
There is a lot of sirens in the big city's.
Such a nice outlook of Canada! I feel the same way when I visit USA! its friggin awesome oot there eh :)
I love your enthusiasm for Canada. Merci!
From a viewer born and raised about 120 miles north of Toronto, I can confidently say, you nailed it, Mark. I love it here, and despite my Greek heritage (and all that entails), I'm sure I'll love living here until the day I die.
Taxes pay for social programs.....duh....you know things like FREE health care....you know the health care Americans do not have.
Driving in Alberta always looks amazing.
Idk? It's mostly prairies. However if you mean the sheer beauty and lack of human influence then yes! Truly a special province but then again most places in Canada are just as beautiful in there own prospect. (Outside of big cities)
+BetterSkatez I agree. And tbh, some of the towns and cities do have their own interesting look too.
I'm from Alberta
+Celestino Meh Calgary to the Mountains is spectacular. Prairies look like shit though.
HoodScoot The prairies still look beautiful to me. The mountains are the best looking ones though.
I saw my frigin house
Good for you...(ima rob u now)
what house it lol Clayton Poon
SHIT FORGOT
realy!!!!!!!
john doe Ya XD
We were driving through a rural part of Canada, and saw a little Punjabi man on a tractor, with his turban. I would never expect to see that in England, but you really do see ethnic diversity even in rural areas of Canada.
Amazing video! I'm from Montreal, and what you'r saying is so true.
Haha, Montreal est grand, bonne chance pour me trouver ;p
If you ever come back in the summer season the Stratford Festival has 4 theatres that put on chamber plays, musicals and Shakespearean plays. check out the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Stratford may be a small city however it is known world wide for theater. it is also only a couple of hours away from Toronto.
I had to crack up at the entitled cross walkers/bikers because it's spot on. I'm Canadian and it couldn't be any more accurate
+InfinateDominance I almost ran over a mother and her two kids when they stepped out in front of my car.Then I got pissed because I almost killed 3 people and the mother turns to me and says (settle down,holy shit!) I cared more about their well being than she did! What in the fuck!
I am Canadian and don't agree with him. I live in the west.
The reason why it's more expensive in Canada is because one US dollar is worth more than one Canadian dollar but it's close enough that retailers accept 20$ USD as 20$ CAD so really everything has the same value but the number of dollars is higher. But there are places like Vancouver that are VERY expensive you are right about that. Great video, keep it up!
Thanks for the great review. Our maple syrup is great. Export about 80% of it. P.E.I. Is one of the best spots I've seen.
Canada is one of my to go places
And maybe to live there- it seems like a beautiful place
Meanwhile my state is way over populated with people and it's so hot
The worst thing about Canada is Justin Bieber
Nymphadora Tonks Lupin I cannot disagree with this comment :)
That's why we gave him away. It was the Americans who made him famous tho
blazetieftw true
Actually no. The worst thing about Canada is Vancouver`s inequality. Why would Bieber be on someones hate list? Doesn't he sing? Is he political?
E.T. It was a joke...
Yes, the taxes, . . but . . It pays for our universal health care. Nothing's free but the scenery.
This makes me proud to be canadian :) But the gas prices, and liquor prices are $$$$, so true, gotta come check out Edmonton Alberta!
I want to. We just ran out of time with he kids having to go back to school :( dang kids ruin all the long trip ideas ;)
But we will be heading out that way for sure. Love Canada and will miss my Tim hortons :)
Tim Hortons has a line up in the drive though all day long, its crazy! Love your videos, you tell it how it is :D Keep it up!
***** I was just in the drive through line yesterday (it was near the border and I needed one last Tim's before I left) :)
nice!
And calgary, albertA
Hey Mark, great video, thank you! I love all your videos, it's very obvious that you do it with passion, and that you love traveling, you're funny and it's just a pleasure watching you. I check your you tube channel daily and hope to see some new videos! Your love and hates, are always very helpful and you point them out in such a friendly way. Keep it up, I am looking forward to your next videos!
P.S. Do you plan to come to Serbia some day?
I have almost got to Serbia twice. I had tickets to go back in 2007 or 2008 but the day I was getting my train from Italy the us embassy was stormed :) the 2nd time was in 2012, but we changed plans last minute to go to a friends wedding in Italy. But the third time will be the charm :)
woltersworld Yeah, come to Serbia you won't be disappointed I am sure! Hey just been playing around, I think I have created a nicer template for your videos check it out here : my.jetscreenshot.com/12275/20140807-uouk-861kb.jpg It's just a screenshot but I can give you the file if you like it, feel free to use it. :)
You helped me so many times with your videos so I am happy to help you back! Cheers!
Kristijan Binski that is nice. I have been debating on how to make a better screen shot for the videos. sometimes I feel like making the beautiful scenery pictures like you made or like a picture of the coliseum in Rome for Rome videos, but then I wonder if my subscibers might not think it is one of my videos, but just another "Rome" video. So I sometimes try to make sure one of the family is in the picture so the subscribers know its us. But dang, your's make it look so good!!!! Great job. And we are planning on coming to Serbia. I think we will do kind of a whirlwind tour with Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia. Kind of a former Yugoslavia swing. I think it would be amazing. I have met quite a few serbs on my travels and they have always been FUN to say the least :) honest as well.
woltersworld I hear what you're saying, good point! Well as a UI/UX designer I might be a bit more perfectionist than most of your other subscribers, but I tried to make it look better, The background image it's just an example so you could always replace this, I was also focusing on the other elements, like your logo is semi transparent, I think that's pretty cool, than you have the main headline, and subheadline below (different font, not shadow, but there is a semi transparent box in behind so the text stands out more). These could also be "hate #1 : it's expensive" and then some more description below etc.. Just like you did in your other videos but it looks a bit better. Don't get me wrong but I really did not liked much that dropshadows on the text, they are just too large in my opinion :-) So yea if you need any help like that, don't hesitate to get in touch (kristijanbinski@gmail.com), I will be happy to help you out free of charge!
Haha yeah, that would be a crazy tour, to visit all those places in former Yugoslavia, you only missed Macedonia.. Btw, the prices here in Serbia are more than affordable, I already can see that this would be your number 1 love, or maybe the food, I'm not quite sure actually but one of those two would be number 1 for sure! :-)
I am also limited by the software I have. I need to spend the money and get "real" editing software and such so the videos look and feel more professional. Thank you for all the tips.
Haha, it's fun to hear Americans talk about Canada, hopefully I visit the US someday to see the differences myself. I've been nearly everywhere you talked about here, and think you've got it down pat. Our minimum wage is going up, which is good bc not all service industry jobs can get tips (like cashiers, stockers, etc).
Kieran Mcgarry so true.
Mhm :)
I went to Miami, SOOO NICE!!!
Spend 9 years studying alone in this country. Love it! People here are super friendly and nice, even though driving in Montreal is such a pain. Love the winter and the cold here (I'm dead serious!) It's Canada! You need to enjoy the cold and the winter sports! Nature is wonderful here as well! You really need to get out there and enjoy the nature! It's what makes it Canada!
I don't want to take anything away from the places you mentioned but you didn't talk much at all about Western Canada.
The Rocky Mountains, the Atlantic Ocean, the straights in around Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary Regina, with their individual beauty and wonderful festivals. Etc etc... so much else in a very diverse country. Winnipeg fishing areas. I could go on, but these areas were conspicuously overlooked.
I love the Calgary Stampede. It's just so filling!
Maybe you mean the Pacific Ocean?
They moved the Atlantic Ocean to the west coast?
@@cindymielke1
Oops, didn't see your comment.🙂
Keith French You mean the Pacific Ocean. The Atlantic is on the Eastern side of Canada.
THANK YOU, I AM PREPARED FOR CANADA NOW. - QUEBEC RESIDENT
LuchLavoie ? Quebec is in Canada
Stolen Sweetroll it’s a separatist joke dude
Canada has done a poor job marketing it's self in the world. I am an ex pat Canadian living in Brazil.
I don't mind at all when people think I'm american, but when I tell them I'm Canadian, many say: Oh, it's the same.
Your american. That pisses me off! and I am NOT anti-american in any way! I then call them Americans, which they take offense .. so I make my point, and still some will still refer to me as American, no matter what!
I think only an Austrian, or New Zealander could understand a Canadians perspective on this issue.
We are Canadian, and we are proud!
no, I don't miss the snow and cold. Thanks very much!
_Canada has done a poor job marketing it's self in the world._
Couldn't tell by me. I spend several weeks of the summer in the rockies (mostly Jasper - Banff has become a tad too crowded and "touristy" for me) and - no joke - most of the people I meet on the hiking trails are either German or British. It never fails to amaze me how many Germans and Brits come to our mountains. Hells, even the park rangers are often surprised to hear that I'm an Albertan.
Depends what cold means to you? If you live in Florida, it's one thing. If you live in Maine, it's another. Let's not even mention Alaska.
***** I don't know why Canada has such a stereotype of being sooo cold, it's only really cold for 3 months surrounded by mild, and REALLY hot summers. There are many other countries that are way colder.
O
sc0tte1 ...Maybe that depends on what part of Canada you're talking about...? Other northern countries have their hotspots also...
No joke, I visited Toronto in July with a friend who is also from the states and we were walking to the Royal Ontario Museum from the CN Tower and we saw two guys walking the other direction with hockey sticks. None the less, I would highly recommend visiting Canada I want to go visit there again! Wonderful people!
POUTINE IS BEAST! CANADIAN PRIDE WOOOO HOOOOOLACROSSE HOCKEY CURLING MAPLE SIRUP
+Clayton Poon you had me at Poutine :)
how about poutine eh?
;(
+jennifer dagreek WHAT!! You have been to Canada, but you haven't had poutine! (I'm Canadain. Eh?) :)
AND SOOOO MUCH MORE!!
Dude I live in Canada and what you are saying only really applies to the east and central Canada. Come to the west and you will be floored you can't really pigeon whole us. Also we don't just eat poutine and maple syrup. Try smarties or coffee crisp
Or all dressed and ketchup crisps, those are delicious!
@@technoeggnog Mhm, that one's big!
I'm a Canadian, and i just want to say "thank you" for noticing (and saying in your video) that there are differences between us and the States. You earned a like from me!
Great video! I leave for Toronto in 13 days. We're driving from Maine. I have no idea what to expect at all out of this trip other than seeing some really beautiful places along the way.
Yay! In the intro he is standing behind/ outside the st. Lawrence market in Toronto!
Very cool place. Actually our whole trip in Canada was awesome.
+woltersworld What did you like about Canada, and where did you go.
Glad to know you like it!
+Anwyn Pop I went there for Christmas. St. Lawrence Market.....great place!
You should have added Justin Bieber to the hate and Jim Carey to the love.
Hating on JB was so 2010
Oh no, its still a thing in Canada to hate Bieber, we get our style a bit later perhaps...
Chris Jones - Bieber is America's fault....they make those things...not us. We make the Hip, Blue Rodeo, Cohen, Rush ya know...music artists. Not pop stars.
Richard's World we don't hate Justin Bieber he's young and Nick some steaks the same as we all did at his age. but very talented!
.
Awesome. Canada is awesome. I hope u guys dont mind a arab. Iam not very religious so that might help. Loool. Come visit kuwait. U can play in sand almost ANYWHERE and u can eat camel and lizards oh and the best you can interview isis members and maybe if u lucky get chased by them. And we have a lot of oil.
Ahmed Al-Mudhi funny :)
JF TEA i didn't know what to say. Lol
Ahmed Al-Mudhi bro I've been in this situation before
Ahmed Al-Mudhi We got lots of Arabs. No problem, not like the USA.
Ahmed Al-Mudhi Religion is a personal business, and usually Canadians respect that, so as long as you keep it for yourself and behave properly, you're welcome in Canada. From a Tunisian muslim living in Montreal :)
I can never watch just one of your videos. You really wake the Wanderlust in me. :)
Oh man, I gotta admit that you're right on the nose about distances between places. I mean, it's not really a bad or a good thing - it is what it is; but yeah, it can take AGES to get between some cities when you're visiting. Also, I agree on taxes. They should have the total amount on the price before the point of sale.
It's more for my European followers who think Canada and the usa are like europe. 2 hours and I'm in another country, while in Canada I'm only 1/3 of the way through new Brunswick :)
+woltersworld It's so true! I lived in Scotland for a few years and had a roommate from Germany who just could not wrap his head around the size of the country. We checked on a map and realized that the distance from Vancouver to Toronto is roughly the same as Berlin to Bagdad. If you were driving that, you'd be going through at least 5 other countries! :D
+Social Vultures Edmonton to calgary = 3 hours you can cross 3 states in that time in some places lol.
TorrentOfficial 3hrs that's pretty close. Toronto to Montreal is a 6hr trip.
toronto and montreal are not in the same province.... if you notice I used 2 cities within a province :P like me saying Edmonton to Saskatoon is 6 hours as well :P I was simply making a statement that Canada is large and have no clue why you had to re compare it with eastern cities lmao
From my point of view, there is nothing to hate about Canada, This country is beautiful and great.
and cold
Andrea Ryan very very cold
Thank you! Greetings from Canada!
if you're worried about tax, go to Alberta. We only have GST.
but everything costs more, so no benefit.
Plenty of fresh powder for those who love winter sports - downhill, cross country, snowmobiling, ice fishing, snow shoeing.
Western Canada is very different than Eastern Canada. Just like Western USA is different than Eastern USA
I disagree, I have family in western Canada and Down East I am from Toronto- we all share common values
You are both right. common values, but different people and culture. its hard to explain but we are different in the west. I am from Saskatchewan. Where it literally can be -30 one day +1 one the next and back to -30 the day after.
Jay Bauer Enjoyed Canada in July, even in the Yukon. But I found Calgary dangerously cold in March. Believe it or not Canada, spring is supposed to start in March, not April.
Calgary in March is not cold. Try Saskatoon in January
Yup Saskatoon in January, Feb, March. can range from -35 to 0 not talking wind chill. it has hit close to -50 with the windchill the last 2 years. one day last years. it was -30 one day +1 on the next and -30 the day after.
You go all over Europe where people walking and people on bikes far outnumber any cars, but then complain about "empowered" pedestrians and cyclists in a country where the roadways are still heavily biased towards car use only. Bizarre.
You keep talking about how wonderful Banff National Park (Alberta) and Vancouver (British Columbia) are in your video, but your video segments are all filmed in Eastern Canada. This is why everyone from around the world thinks all Canada has to offer is in Eastern Canada (Toronto, in particular). Because USA tourists only ever film or talk about that part of the country, it seems. But this is a HUGE country, and the West is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. You need to SHOW people Western Canada on your next video rather than just making a couple of brief comments about it. You need to SHOW them the beauty British Columbia and Alberta. These two provinces are very different from the East. In fact, all the provinces offer something quite different and unique, even the prairie provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. (Other than that, I agree with pretty much everything you say in your video. Empowered pedestrians ... ha ha. Funny because it's true! And YES, the poutine is wonderful here ... in both the East and the West!)
Awesome, Kim . Enjoyed your comments......."The West is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful." Yes, it is . Wish you many blessings, from a Prairie boy, halfway around the World.
There are several reasons why beer is so good in Quebec. 1. The oldest brewery in North America is located in Montreal, and it is the Molson Brewery. 2. when the first French settlers came to Quebec, they did not have access to wine. Since there were no vines. 3. So they started making beer to get an alcohol to drink. 4. Today in the province of Quebec, there are more than 150 microbreweries... they are so popular and their products so delicious, that Quebecers are drinking less and less commercial beers like Molson, Labatt, Moosehead, Heineken, etc.
A few remarks from Canada!
1) Poutine is yummy, but I would only asuggest it for young boys who have been playing their hockey hearts out on some outdoor rink half the day at 30 below, wind in addition.
Other than that, Pouitine is terible for your health.
Now we all like sugar and syrup, so if you are in the Montreal area, find a Crepe Breton restaurant. there are a number of them not so far from Lafontaine parc, just a bit east of the downtown middle. Don't use a car or taxi to gewt there, use our rubber-tired underground metro.
Typical of Canadian cities, for a city of comparable size ve=is a vie the u.S., public transit will be mocu more available and extensive. That's because it is generally government managed. In Montreal, a bus ticket for the S.T.M. can take you (one way) from Ste. Anne de bellevue in the West to the LeGardeur bridge in the east, a distance of about 40 miles.
As for Quebec outside of Momtreal, the French her will say >..
This means 2 things:
Yes, it IS geographically an island in the province of quebec, but...
More in the emotive content of that saying ius the big contrast between Montreal, where you will find some 80 languages on a day, and some 30 miles out of town. The latter is as different as if it were a foreign country! Likely you will hear little else but French (with some exceptional pockets) and a far more rural, but very happy environment, once you get to understand the social environment as much as the language.
Above all, French Canadians are an EMOTIVE society. They are Language proud, but not condescendingly so. In fact the very word "pirde" has two different words in French:
> (fie-ahr-TEH) is rightful pride
,, orgueuil >> (ohr -GUEIL) is condescending pride, and pejorative.
The mere fact that these two distinct word existroutinely, says that they make a big distinction about emotive issues, but both as good as bad and as bad as good.
If you try to speak French, but are very limited, and your most broken effort genuinely shows through, they will likely light up like a Christmas tree in that joy they call > or Joy of Living.
When I first came to Qurebec from Ontario as a boy of 11 years, nobody told me anything nearly adequate, but when, in technical school some years later, I visited one of the studsent activities, and a french man asked me if I spoke French, and I replied in the French I knew at the time, he did light up "like a Christmas tree". I have many more special memories of those years, so far back. An unexpected pleasant surprise!
As for Toronto, from Montreal you could drive, but I would not recommend it. It's 6 hour 500 km. drive and not really the most exciting. Also, to avoid heavy traffic in Toronto, you would need to be on the road in Montreal no later than 7:30 AM.
Better head down to Central Station and take the Via train. That will do the trip in more like 4 hours, and avoid Toronto's traffic.
Arriving at Union Station in toronto about noon, you can find lots of restaurants in that immediate area, and get arount toronto by going undergraound to the Union Subway station and using the subway system whoich stretches for tens of miles. There's about 7 more bus companies that also work with all that, learn the colour system they use, and match that on the streets with the bus stop signs.
You can also use Amtrak to get to Montreal. From Penn Station in NYC, take the Adirondack and it will get you to Montreal's Central Station.
Amtrak services also will connect to Toronto fron NYC, and in joint service with VIA rail from Chicago.
Videos of many of these are here on You tube.
also take carteful note of expected weather from Enviornment canada as you go. Temperatures can have very large variations both from day to night and throughout the 4 seasons. I have known as low as 45 below and as high as 37 Celsius aat different times. That'as a HUGE difference and should be considered seriously.
very insightful and helpful comment. Thanks!
if poutine is terrible for your health then allll us Quebecers are screwed lol
Lily Jordan If you eat a lot of it, you are screwed.
Agreed I love hockey always have play it as much as possible wishing everyone's house had a rink with air conditioners in the bottom yup air conditioners the cold air not only keeps me cool but if I get to cold I will play until I die with 110% then I'm warmed up
some of these comments make me sick. there are some rally bigheaded Canadians that are thinking that they are so amazing. AND BEFORE YOU HAVE A GO AT ME I AM CANADIAN MYSELF. all I'm saying is that I am really happy that Canada is widely regarded as a polite and friendly nation, but that's not going to last for long if our people start getting bigheaded about it. truth is, we have a lot we could learn from the states. as much as I absolutely adore Canada and am a proud Canadian, there are still flaws in our country and were not perfect not better than anyone. :)
"We have a lot we could learn from the states" ??? In the States, GUN CONTROL means using both hands !!! ha ha ha ha ha ha, Seriously though, America has a wide range of different lands, people and ways. I think we do learn a lot from Americans, benefitting from a lot of really good writers, thinkers, musicians, artists.........
Hahaha empowered cross walking for the won. As a person who grew up near toronto and currently lives in Ottawa... it never even occurred to me that pedestrians would NOT have the right of way. I find it pretty funny that foreigners would be surprised that as a driver you have to yield to a bike or pedestrian.
Christopher Miller
The uploader doesn't seem to realize that some pedestrians are disabled or elderly and can't sprint across the road, or that sometimes the middle of the block may actually be safer than the official crosswalk. At least that's how it is in some places when the city doesn't bother to clean the ice off the sidewalk on the corners, but the businesses elsewhere are more considerate. And moms with a lot of kids do take longer to get everyone across the road.
:) Courtesy to the pedestrian for the win!
What's a crosswalk?
yahshua friend
You've got to be kidding.
i am :)
I went to Montreal and Quebec City several years ago. I never had a better time. The culture is great! I was there in October and it was
chilly, but being from Long Island it didn't bother me at all. Yes prices of clothing and items at the pharmacy were pricey as compared with the U.S. But the rate of exchange was .75 U.S cent to 1.00 CND so my money did go farther. Didn't have a problem with not speaking French as well as the locals. Everyone was
friendly and polite. The public transportation is efficient and clean. The night life was great. The food was some of the best I have ever eaten. I cannot wait to travel to Toronto next year.
Pretty fair assessment and thanks for the compliments.
+Les Brown thank you to you. All the best to you!
You seem like a good guy to have visit us.
Yes, it is a big country.
+Wolters World are you canadian or american
Canadian.
That was 2014, however. Right now our peso -er- dollar is a piddly 77¢ or so against the US buck. For every 20 Ameribux you exchange, you'll get 25 Canabux, which really helps out as prices (except for gas) will look really quite similar.
I live in Saskatchewan, Canada... middle of nowhere.. LOL
J Silver Funny how he doesn’t mention Saskatchewan once.
If anyone was to travel to Canada from over seas especially, Saskatchewan isn’t a place I would recommend visiting lol. Jasper and Banff I would recommend. Or the big cities Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal. Or even Nova Scotia or Newfoundland. Saskatchewan wouldn’t make the list.
Ryan Coulter because it’s boring with a shit climate and no mountains.
My last province to visit. Covid canceled it.
Im a Canadian living in Mexico and you sure made me miss home!!! Thanks for the generous review of the great white North :)
You're not missing much. The weather here is cold and gloomy.
I have a great uncle who did very well for himself in Canada. In the 70s he moved from Ireland to Toronto then after a few years of being heavily involved with unions the Canadian Post office offered to pay for him to study as a Lawyer so long as he would work for them for several years upon obtaining his degree. Considering he was from a working class family in a council house he did very very well for himself. Back in Ireland he would not have had the opportunities Canada gave him. Now he is living with his French Canadian wife in Ottawa and loving life.
1:17 "The roads are good" I guess that he hasn't been to Northern Ontario.
or all of New Brunswick
or south of Quebec
Central/Northern Alberta roads are the worst I've seen anywhere. And Ive been to 23 countries. Its sad that I thought it was normal until I grew up and travelled outside alberta to other places and saw how perfect roads can be
I don't think the roads are bad in Alberta, it's more the weather that freaks me out while driving on said roads. The trip between Calgary and Edmonton can be scary if it snows.
Southern Ontario has it worse.
Been to Canada many times and have never had poutine. I guess I'll have to remedy that!
TanRu Nomad then you haven't lived :)
I live here and I've never had it.
I live in Texas...and I eat Poutine all the time!...No..unfortunately they don't sell it here nor have most people ever heard of it...but the ingredients are easy to find..so I make my own!..And it is delisious!..:-)
Hes probably not a real Canadian if he hasn't had poutine ⬆⬆⬆
Korman korman that's me. the fake canadian
I live in Canada it is the best you you if you live in Canada like this 👍
really its amazing canada
👍🏻
I must admit when I saw your title I had to roll my eyes. I suspected you, like many others who travel blog about Canada, to be way off the mark on the likes and dislikes. After watching the video in its entirety my initial thoughts were wrong. You hit it spot on. Well done! BTW, thanks for giving lots of airtime to PEI. We often get forgotten or overlooked by travel bloggers and column writers. Keep traveling, love your stuff!!!
Ha. No.1, the remoteness? Come to Australia. There is no tipping here and the price you see is the price you pay. :-)
Catweasle yeah!! Thinking bout going there for college too. Quite a couple of my friends are there. Don't know whether to go to the us or Canada or Aussie but I don't want to go while trump's president
Catweasle so many aussies come to canada in our winter (ur summer) to work on our ski mountains. 90% of mountain workers either aussies or kiwis.
J mill Cool. What do you think of us?
Catweasle annoying af. Jk idk ur cool guys
Is it? To live or as a tourist? I live here and our wage is higher than Americans, so that would off set any high prices I would imagine.
"Things I love about Canada is the roads. They are amazing!" HAHAHHAHAHA!!!! COME TO WINNIPEG, YOU'L EXPERIENCE REAL CANADIAN ROADS!!!
Le Bonhomme Carnaval anyone?
You're right about the tipping. We do tip a lot, but you're not obliged to tip if you don't want to, and pretty sure people wont lose sleep over it.
