This is my reaction to All 10 Provinces in Canada Ranked WORST to BEST
#canada #geography #reaction
Original Video - • All 10 PROVINCES in CA...
Subtitles are available in French (and English)
Being ex-military, I've either lived in or worked in most provinces and territories. Each has their own charm, their own pluses and their own minuses. To me, none is the best. Each is best in their own way.
Compared to other countries Canada is so great, the "worst" province would be ranked much, much higher than say the US states on a similar chart.
Winterpeg and Saskabush are the WORST
Except Saskatchewan Just kidding. I’m from the most hated province (Onterrible) so I can’t really talk Lol
@Pizza Earth, Pancakes and other Mashed Potatoes I have road tripped in the last few years from Vancouver Island to PEI. I'd say Manitoba has gorgeous beaches along Lake Winnipeg and beautiful cottage country especially in The Whiteshell.
so.... your telling me you never got posted to Comox?
As a British Columbian, yes, I have to agree that Newfoundlanders are the most friendly people in Canada. Consider: no other province has a literal Tony Award-winning Broadway play about *their* friendliness!
It's because there's a lot of Irish descendants there
Worst place to live if you aren’t from there. Hated every minute there
Also most residents in NFLD never lock their doors. That tells you something about the quality of life there.
Newfoundlanders are easily the funniest.
And don't make the mistake I did in my younger days and try to out drink one of them.
All Canadians should drive and see this whole country to get a perspective of how large and diverse it is.😊
We did it last year with our travel trailer! Over 20,000 KM and almost 4 months!
We’ve driven across Canada many times. I’ve lived in four provinces and I’ve visited all 10 of them.
I was born in Nova Scotia and live in BC.
We've done it a few times. Canada is incredibly big. One thing that a lot of people are surprised by. It takes 2 full days to drive the full width of Ontario!
as you can probably guess, I am a Canadian; I have lived in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, and have travelled through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. I still have Newfoundland and the Territories on my 'bucket list'. Each province I have visited and/or lived in has its own unique beauty, charm, and idiosyncrasies; so I would rank them from good to best, and never use the word "worst" for any of them.
Please rank them
What do you think about Nova Scotia?.
Which universities would you suggest between Thompson Rivers University(Kamloops) and Saint Mary's University (Halifax) and why? I have an admit for MBA (20 months course) from TRU and an admit for MTEI (16 months course) from SMU. However, I'm not able to eliminate either from my list. Could any of you please give your opinion?
Quebec...
These best or worst videos are usually compiled by someone in Ontario. A little prejudice involved.
@@keithpeterson5127 And they've never travelled further than where the Trans Canada exists.
I live in Vancouver, born here, still here. I’ve never lived in Newfoundland, never even visited (only province left that I haven’t visited). Regardless, when someone says, “Newfoundlanders are the friendliest people in all of Canada!”, I’m like, “yeah, that tracks. I’ll give them that. Not gonna dispute it”. 😂 I’ve never met a Newfoundlander that wasn’t the sweetest thing alive.
I live in Okanagan valley I golf and play hockey with lots of Newfies, amazing friendly people that all seem to have an awesome sense of humor
I have met and known a lot of Newfies. Only met one that was an arsehole. Pretty good odds and better than anywhere else in Canada for sure!
there are good and bad people everywhere . Newfourdland or maritimes provinces are isolated areas . It is normal to be less infected by the craziness of violence in Toronto or Vancouver where 50 % of the population were not born in Cnada and mainly from India or China ... not the same culture . Most of Canada has no longer an identity becoming very USA car culture, violence, guns , right wing conservative from Alberta.
@@jeanbolduc5818 The conservatism in Alberta is a hard pill to swallow at times. Provincial elections are around the corner... go Rachel Notley!!
Don’t believe what you are hearing in this video. It’s bring rated by an American who has an obvious bias against Canada. I would rate any of our provinces ahead of any of the continental states. Incidentally, Manitoba does not have a problem with humidity. What we do have with all our lakes are excellent beaches and cottage communities.
I'm a New Brunswicker and I've been to almost all the provinces in Canada and I found that Newfoundlanders are indeed the most friendly.
And everywhere is better than Saint John 😅😂
New Brunswick is fun and lots to do you just need to not go to the city or town.Most of the fun is in the country.
It’s down east hospitality that has everyone in Canada beat, that’s for sure. I’m an Albertan and I love where I’m from. But a year and a bit ago I went for the first time to Nova Scotia for husband’s best friend’s wedding. He was marrying a girl from itty bitty Isle Madame. We drove from Charlottetown PEI all the way there and everywhere we went was just nonstop friendliness and openness. Everyone wanted to know where we were going and where we were from. Everyone eager to share little local tidbits about the best bakery, or the best view or some interesting lore. We left knowing one thing for sure; we have to come back.
I live in Manitoba. When I was young I wanted to move somewhere else but as I travelled to most provinces and know people who live in basically everyone of them I realized I am very lucky to live here. The winters may get frigid but most days it is cold but beautiful and sunny. We go for 2 walks a day. There are people who love the snow and the four seasons. Not everyone likes summer all year. We go cross country skiing, tobogganing, icefishing and snowmobiling. My friend lives in Vancouver BC and she says in the winter it is maybe not that cold but it rains so much that going for a walk is not enjoyable at all because it is not warm but damp and cold.
The latest poll for the most unhappy people in Canada was BC because the people who move there expect it to be better. We do no have many humid days in the summer. I hate humidity and the last 5 years because of less rain we have had no mosquitos. It did rain a lot this last spring and we had more but not that bad. Young people here can afford homes, not like in some other provinces. I never heard that we are the most unhappy and die sooner than anywhere else. I would love to see the survey. I found that every province has good and bad things, no place is better than the other. I appreciate what you said . Thank you!!!
I've lived in Saskatchewan most of my life and moved to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island a few years ago. I didn't last a year before i wanted to come back to Sask hahah. I felt like i must be crazy wanting the prairies over mountains and ocean but i would rather -40 and sun than being rained on all winter and not seeing the sun for weeks at a time.
I am from Northern Manitoba, but now live in the South. It isn’t as cold as it used to be in the winter but you can still get -30 or - 40 for a few days every year. The summer you can get up to 47 with the humidex, but with over 100,000 lakes, there is plenty of water to cool off in. I have lived in Manitoba almost all of my life, and my sister in BC is moving back here so it can’t be that bad. Also a little known fact - Manitoba donates more money to charities per capita than any other province in Canada.
That is so true!!! Also if you can’t find happiness where you are you won’t find it anywhere .
Happiness comes from within.
I moved to Manitoba right before the pandemic in 2020, from Ontario, specifically Toronto. it is awesome here, people are friendly it has a great art and food scene. the winter is hard but the summer is great with almost no humidity compared with southern Ontario where you melt in the shade. Mosquitoes are bad but lots of places have screens and as with the winter it is soooooo sunny all the time. the big Prairie Sky is amazing .
THANK YOU! Winnipeg doesn't deserve the bad press it gets!
Toronto isn't the most friendly of places. Lived there 4 times and it reinforced that opinion.
That's not to say I have never met nice Torontonians. Some of my very best friends live there.
After living in places all across our country; there are no worst provinces. Accents and foods, likes and dislikes make each unique.
Not sure where this guy got his data from but most winter days are not -30 in Winnipeg. January is the coldest month with an average temperature low of -18
He uses the old moderator “with the windchill” 😂
Remember "Crime rates" are statistical averages, they always tend to distort high in low population areas.
ie: If you had 1 major crime in your town last year, and 2 this year, then you are seeing a "Massive Crime Wave"... a doubling in the number of crimes!
This is not to say that there aren't certain issues - high rates of alcoholism, etc... but it is not strictly an "Apples to Apples" comparison.
im pretty sure crime rate is measured by 100 000 habitant
I'm from Manitoba and I've lived across Canada, this is an accurate take, although you can live pretty happy there. Also, the Folklorama festival in the first two weeks of August is absolutely the best thing you will see. Multi-cultural celebration that takes weeks do it all, performers come from around the world.
There's also Folk Fest in July, and other festivals like Jazzfest, Fringe Fest 😊
@@melissagreenhill3456 Yes, lots of great festivals but folkorama is far and away ahead of the rest imo
Trail on the river in the winter. Cheap housing and food. Good parks. Mature tree growth in the city. "Big hometown". It's a good place to live. Dress for the weather, make friends.
One of the big things I think of as well when I think of Nova Scotia is it’s strong Celtic and Gaelic culture! It is kept very much alive and thriving though it’s music, language, traditions, festivals and events! Nova Scotia is Latin meaning new Scotland.
No way is Alberta better than BC. Better cuz it’s cheap?
Has the only Gaelic College outside Scotland, the inventor of the phone( and the silverdart....and hydrofoil) Sir Alexander G. Bell lived in Baddeck. First wireless radio signal was sent from Glace Bay CB (Marconni) . The cradle of modern communications 😅
He would feel *so* at home in Halifax, what with him being from Scotland! That is the top city I'd recommend for him and his family to move to in Canada!!! My second would be Ottawa.
I live in Manitoba, a lot of people have a lot of bad to say about it, but its a good place to live. Ive lived in BC and for me there’s just too many people. Manitoba has a lot of culture, we have a ton of festivals all year round. It’s flat and full of trees so outdoor activities are in abundance even in winter. You acclimatise, but the weather can be extreme, but we all love to talk about it. Over all its a friendly and moderately calm place to live. I love to see and experience the world, I even spent a month in Malaysia (mostly KL) and loved it, but its nice to come home to the peace and quiet of Manitoba.
I am from BC and definitely has too many people. When SK and the Yukon are looking appealing you know you are sick of traffic
@@sahrazad8213 I went to work with a friend from White Rock once, it took and hour and 15 min. . Great place to visit but I`d never live there. 2.5 hours of your life wasted ever day and all the stress is not worth it.
@@gimenovax1 Sounds about right
Thank goodness they qualified the comments about Manitoba at the end of that section. The whole exercise of ranking the provinces is pretty silly, and it’s so subjective anyway, depending upon what any individual values!
As a fellow Manitoban, I lived in Vancouver for 5 years. Moved back here because of family. I love Manitoba, I'm not going to defend it, I don't have to. The people here are a good mix of Canada, and if I ever get stuck , I know someone will stop and help me out, just because we are all in it together. Not perfect, for sure, but a good place overall.
Whoever made this video used a clip of Scarborough in the UK during the Ontario section… so take everything in this video with a grain of salt.
Nova Scotia, New Scotland is the best place by far, a lot of hidden gems here not touched on by the video. Cape Breton is almost more Scottish than Scotland the road signs are in english and gaelic all along the Northern shore. Little places like Canso and small towns like Pictou where you can hop the ferry to PEI and back for a day trip. University towns like Antigonish Hub towns like the New Glasgow area and Truro and Debert... you can dig fossils in Parrsboro or go tidal bore rafting... Cape Split 1200ft overlooking the highest tides in the world... Windsor and all through the Valley, historical sites like port royal and louisbourg. Yarmouth and Lunenburg where the bluenose was built.. Halifax and Dartmouth when the tall ships come and they have a great nightlife... Mahone Bay ...loaded with sealife the whole South Shore littered with gorgeous lil islands.. the caves known as the ovens... Peggys Cove...Sherbrooke Village... Theres so much here...omg Pugwash go wine tasting in ice wine country, Amherst is a border town with New Brunswick which is actually a great place. The city of Sydney, hop the Ferry to Newfoundland where those people are the salt of the earth there ...Nova Scotias in the heart of the Maritimes its just the best place in Canada.
I lived in NS for several years. Absolutely loved it there and wouldn't hesitate to go back!
I live in Manitoba, have family across the country and have traveled to most provinces at least once. I wouldn't want to move away, we have a fantastic combination of being on the edge of the great prairies and the great Canadian Shield. The lakes and parks, hunting and fishing, are just amazing.
I also have to disagree with a couple things, the "majority of winter days" are not -30 or below. We do get very cold but its usually for only a few weeks out of the winter during the coldest months (january/february) and most of the rest of the winter is in the -20's which is honestly not as bad as it sounds. Summer months can be humid and full of mosquitos but again only for the middle of summer. Our spring, early summer, late summer, and early autumn are amazing times of the year to be outside with beautiful weather and less bugs.
Yeah then the frigging Woodticks take over!
I think it really depend where you live in Manitoba, considering Churchill, Thompson and the.pas are also manitoba
The crime stats are based on per capita,. A single crime in a village of a hundred people pushes crime rate much higher than it does in a city of 100,000
I suppose that some Province has to be considered the worst, but it’s like trying to decide what your least favourite flavour of ice cream is, it’s still pretty good. I’m sure that a lot of Manitobans would consider my province of Ontario as one of their least favourites.
And I’m from Ontario and hated being in Manitoba go figure
Most Manitobans pick Saskatchewan as their least favourite, it's that long boring drive between Winnipeg and Banff...actually Alberta is pretty boring until Banff, too.
When I lived in the NWT. The funniest thing you could do to an unruly neighbour is to fertilize there lawn. In the summer there is 20 hours of daylight. That bastard has to mow his lawns three times a week. I only had one neighbour I didn’t get along with but he was an American. For a $50 bag of lawn fertilizer, I kept his focus on his lawn!🤣
I'm happy this video has Manitoba at the bottom of the list, it keeps it & Winnipeg as the hidden treasures they are. 😉
So true, everyone moves to Vancouver and now it's over crowded..I'll stay in The 'Peg thanks
yeah people from the southern USA come to ontario for cabins and fishing lodges, they ask about manitoba and i emphasize how cold, flood prone, bug infested and how many large carnivores there are and then we keep it less crowded here. i dont bring up the enormous world class beaches, stunning wilderness, unending oak forests, boreal forests, lakes in every colour, clear sky observatories, berries, minomin, fisheries, winter views where you can see forever and ice crystal makes medicine wheels round the sun, festival d voyageur, music festivals, winter agricultural fair, vibrant art and music and film scene, the floodway riverdiversion for wintersports and thousands of lakes and rivers, the carberry desert, so many immigrant cultural gifts such as food, music, celebrations, history going back thousands of years, many indigenous people with incredible culture and knowledge. beluga and narwhal in the north and incredible urban forests, urban deer and moose, coyote and cute richardson ground squirrels, big mammals like bison, moose and elk, cranes and geese, pelican, raven, turkey, perch, pickerel, sturgeon as big as canoes.
@@keithlightminder3005 yeah, Winnipeg Beach has literally been on lists of the top beaches in the world
I love your videos & I love watching your reactions to what you see! Your attitude, humility, and genuine surprises when you learn something new are awesome! Please do a video on our territories - most Canadians don’t even know much about them. Thank you for spotlighting Canada ❤
I live in Winnipeg, it has its moments like everywhere else, but overall the people are friendly, if you are stopped on the side of the road, it won't take long before someone (or several someones) will pull over to see if you need help. Also, Lake Winnipeg is so large it spawns it's own storms and they can come up quickly. It's a beautiful Province with a diverse ecosystem and cultures. But we do have a lot of mosquitoes.
Or if your vehicle is stuck in the snow, most people walking by will stop and work to push your vehicle.
Plus Winnipeg is the undisputed Slurpee capital of the world.
Prince Edward Islander here! Love your enthusiasm for our country!
Our capital city has "town" in the name, which I think is quite telling.
Over the last decade, rent/buying rates here have gotten completely out of control, even compared to provinces with a higher cost of living.
I work in construction (generally a different house every day), and while many jobs are for longtime residents, lots of jobs are for unoccupied houses bought site-unseen by folks from away (mainland or international) looking for a covid haven or a summer retreat for a few weeks out of the year. Not to mention the many "low-income" housing developments being thrown up year by year.
Between that and the massive hurdle of obtaining land, it can be rough to get settled as a young or not-so-young local looking to stake a claim of your own. Those of my generation who stayed in the province after school have to hustle at multiple jobs/have many roommates to make ends meet, or settle into generational housing with their family. For example, my aunt and uncle live in their parent's old house, and their house went to their kids. I'm given to understand this is more common outside North America, but it's new here and can carry a level of shame for some folks based on that.
After Hurricane Fiona it will be interesting to see how many flattened woodlots get cleared and sold as residential property vs how many get replanted.
Despite all that, the lifestyle is easygoing. This is especially true in the rural communities where you will learn to love the neighbour with the snowblower on their tractor or who happens to be an experienced roofer when you have a leaky attic. If you can find a role to fill in that kind of environment you can barter your way into a pretty leisurely life with honest work and a willingness to learn.
Cheers from Down East!
Islander born and raised, here. Now living in Nova Scotia. Everything you said is pretty spot on. I'm amazed at how much has changed every time I go home to visit family. And like you say, the massive influx of people "from away"/seasonal or AirBnB housing has really pushed the housing costs so far out of reach for so many, including myself. It's always been my plan to move back home when I retired, (as much as I love Nova Scotia, it's not "home", as I'm sure you as a fellow Islander understands what I mean). Now, it's virtually impossible for me to do that because of the insane costs for housing/property. I am absolutely all for immigration but a big part of me misses when PEI was one of the best kept secrets for living and/or raising a family.
Well said! And Back Home only has one meaning in Canada , and that’s down East! Cheers 🍻
Hello. I live in Saskatchewan. Never had much problem with crime myself, but i live in the countryside. Which is why i'm writing. People have a tendency to drive through the province on the number 1 highway and see farmland and think that's it. No. Just North of that highway is the Qu'Appelle Valley. It's a beautiful valley made by glaciers. Lakes, hills, wildlife. The North is the land of lakes and forests. It's beautiful and still very wild. Love it up there. We also have sand dunes. Forests, lakes, rolling hills and valleys and a little piece of desert. Saying Saskatchewan is just flat farmland is from people who have never really seen the province.
and so much rich culture from the Cree and metis people!
100,000 lakes and 2/3rds of the province is forest
So many misconceptions included in this Bias video !
🇨🇦 Comparing Provinces does no justice to any of them ! If you really want to know about a region or Province, find videos that focus on them !
yes newfies r the friendliest
Throughout my 20s, I lived in the Northwest Territories for 7 and a half years. In the capital of Yellowknife and then one of the settlements. I had an incredible time and fell in love with the NWT. I now live in Alberta and wouldn't hesitate to go up there again.
K, but I'd advise you to avoid Yelowknife this time around, lol.
I've driven across Canada.
Grew up in a military family and lived in many different provinces.
The older parts of Canada like ontario, quebec, Nova Scotia, and p.e.i all have nice old buildings usually built from brick and mortar.
While out west, the oldest buildings are usually wooden buildings from the wild west days. Old taverns, hotels, and houses. There is abandoned mining towns and old coal mines everywhere.
Old schools, hospitals, and government buildings are usually brick.
I live in Alberta, it's cheap rent, when I bought a house it was relatively easy as long as you have held a job longer then a year.
The trades is where the money is. I framed houses then joined the carpenters union. Then I realized I could switch to scaffolding in the carpenters union and made almost triple my wage working as a scaffolder instead.
The oil industry can be very lucrative for a motivated person who wants to travel for their money.
I personally hate travelling out of town. So I just found a local job with regular hours. Lots of o.t
I lived in Nova Scotia all my life until I joined the military and had to move to New Brunswick for 8 years, and now Alberta, for the last 6 years. As much as I love it here in Alberta I'd move back to Nova Scotia in a heart beat.
I guess I’m a rare bird….” a happy Manitoban”. I was born in Tofino on Vancouver Island, but have lived most of my life in Manitoba. I have been retired for a number of years now. When I worked I worked with “ happy” people. Scenery wise we don’t have the beautiful mountains, but considering we are a prairie province we are not totally flat either. We do have the Turtle Mountains and quite a few hilly areas Riding Mountain National Park is beautiful. We have many beautiful lakes and great Cotta ging areas. There is also a great deal of history in this province.
Quebec is fabulous. It is certainly incumbent to learn French but if you go to bilingual Montreal you can certainly get by with English while you are working on your French.
Newfoundland has the best kind of people in the country
I was born and raised, and still live in Manitoba. Great people, comparably light traffic, great food from a variety of cultures, great music and arts scene, lakes, swimming, camping, hiking, cross country skiing...and festivals! We also have a large French population. Yes, crime and poverty are issues as they are everywhere. But hey, whoever doesn't like us can stay where they are. 😉
Would love to see you doing a video in Winnipeg one day!
The narrator literally shit on Manitoba for no reason lol. Sure, statistically speaking it may be lagging behind, but Manitoba is a GREAT place to live and I loved my visit to Winnipeg. It’s also been up and rising in recent years, I feel. It’s a hidden gem. Love from BC ❤
If you have the money, Vancouver is unbeatable.
The only issue I have with Vancouver is the grey skies. Winter is brutally dark and often to wet for my comfort
I was surprised to see Manitoba as 10th, mostly because if I were to move, it would be there. Manitoba’s north is absolutely stunning. Piscu Falls is my favourite place on earth.
manitoba has so many secretly beautiful spots far from heavily populated areas. same with northern sask.
How much do you want to bet this list was made by someone from Ontario
I live in Pei my street is on the video you watched. Love it Canada's food island Nova Scotia is home and that Province is truly Awesome ..And YES Newfoundlander's are the some of the friendliest and best people you can ever know. Share a bottle of Screech and yeah have friends for life
I'm from New Brunswick, while it's useful to know French here you definitely don't need it to get by unless you're in northern NB. Also the French here and the French in Quebec is quite different. The cost of living has significantly increased over the past few years as well as the population has grown.
NBer here too and all this is true. Depending on what you do for a job, being Bilingual French may make or break you.
Hi there neighbor! Quebecker here. Hearing people talk chiac make my heart and soul sing! And indeed, NB and Qc French are very different, but then again even within the province of Quebec there are so many different accents. As far as I’m concerned though it makes this place even more endearing.
Everyone around me (in southern Ontario) were looking (the last few years) to NB to move since our real estate shot up like crazy. It has settled some now, but one of our friends DID make the move.
@@macgyveriii2818 Last year there was so much of a huge influx of people out of province, mostly Ontario, that our real estate was overburdened; more demand than homes. And locals who sold, were being outbid. Houses were going for insane, sight unseen, prices too. And that affected assessments locally too. It's settling now but not quick enough.
NBer here and yeah i only know english and found most french speakers ive talked to knew enough english
In terms of natural beauty, BC is the place to visit. There are the Rockies in the east and the Cascade mountain range in the west, both spectacular. In between there is a huge variety - rolling ranch land, desert, wine country, lakes, etc. Vancouver Island (one of my favorites) is also a must to visit and explore.
Nova Scotia literally means New Scotland and celebrates Scottish culture. Many Nova Scotians identify as Scottish Canadian. The success of Scotland colonizing Nova Scotia can be seen all around the province. Also, Ontario celebrates the largest Highland Games Festival outside of Scotland. It's obvious Scotland is a deep part of our heritage here in Canada, especially on the East Coast. It's quite possible you had some ancestors immigrate here since tens of thousands of Gaelic speaking people travelled here centuries ago.
Having expelled all Acadians from the area.
Newfoundland is amazing, nicest people. You being from Glasgow would fit in easily.
Heyo! Newfoundlander here.
The guy in the video, like most people not from here, pronounced Newfoundland wrong. The way you pronounced it the first time, with the A in "land" having more gravity, is the correct way to pronounce Newfoundland. That's one of our biggest pet peeves: when someone doesn't know how to pronounce the name of our province correctly 😂
As for Labrador, climate-wise it's a lot like the territories. The winters up there are arguably a lot worse than here on the island, because the northernmost tip of its landmass is in the Arctic Circle.
As a whole though, us Newfoundlanders and Labradorians try to be good to people that come here from away. We do have a reputation of being some of the nicest and funniest people in the country (of which we are very proud of).
Crime considered high anywhere in Canada is a fraction of what it is in many other places in the world, and particularly in specific U.S. cities.
Especially violent crime. Even more rare against random strangers
Property crime per capita is higher in Canada. Violent crime is higher in the us.
But there are spots in Canada that have higher murder rates then spots in the us. Though.
In collingwood north of Toronto there were 20 odd killings in 14 odd years.
The high crime mentioned in this video seems to coincide with a high concentration with a distinct population that we cannot mention. NWT, MB, SK, and AB
One other thing to bear in mind about Canada is that its size often allows locals to keep places to themselves. There might be the places you see in tourist guides and on maps, but there are often areas that are quiet alternatives that people who live there just don't talk about. Lake Louise and Morraine Lake in Banff might be beautiful, but they are jam packed with tourists and I assure you, that's not where the locals would go. In my area, there are whole towns, lakes, waterfalls, islands etc. that locals simply don't go to - there are alternatives
I live in Quebec and am quite happy with it, but you need to know at least some french, and although we have nice scenery in some areas, it doesn't compare to the outdoorsy nature of BC
Many Brits have notions of French from Normandy.
Winnipeger here.
Its not that its a bad city, its that its bad in comparison to other Canadian cities.
Its very memeable but definitely has its problems.
Homelessness and Poverty are a major issue, but that's more a government failure than a people failure. IMO.
Outisde of the city its very spacely populated, especially as you go up north.
Its also really hard to compete on cost of living.
I like it. Would probably move again but its a decent city to live in.
BC is definitely the best... Expensive though...
I live in Alberta and yes the economy has suffered, I’m in the medical field so haven’t felt it myself but have seen and heard about lay offs, I think every province has its pros and cons. I am visiting the east coast of Canada this summer and cannot wait to explore it!! Love your clips btw, keep them coming! 😊
The first thing you have to remember is that this video is comparing the 10 beautiful provinces (and territories) to each other. They all have something wonderful to offer.
I have lived in Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia. Vancouver Island has been my home now for many years and I have no wish to live anywhere else except maybe Newfoundland. Vancouver Island for its beauty and moderate climate and Newfoundland for its wild terrain, charm and overwhelmingly friendly people. I guess I am partial to islands.
Very well stated. 👏
Island are wonderful, it's true!
I totally disagree with the number 8 ranking for PEI. My parents both came from PEI, and I've been there. The people are super-friendly. The scenery is fantastic. I also disagree with the poor rating for Newfoundland. Newfies are super-friendly and fun. The scenery is also fantastic. To hell with statistics. I'd rate NS, NB, PEI and NFLD ahead of Sask and Alberta.
Coming in from Brandon Manitoba, truthfully it's not really all that bad here, definitely not great, but not bad, the main reason MB has such a bad reputation is honestly because of Winnipeg, I only go there if I absolutely have no choice, and this is an older video, our wages are going up, MB is trying to get minimum wage up to the country average right now, which as minimum goes up all other wages will have increases.
And honestly, crime in Winnipeg is inflated by gang on gang violence. Your average person honestly has not much to worry about.
I think Brandon is wonderful with the event complex etc.
Who is judging this anyway?
It depends what you're looking for, enjoy and need.
Too subjective to rank!
And why leave out the territories, that seems bonkers!!! The ranking concepts is bonkers to begin with🤣
Its so weird to be stereotyped as being nice. Canada doesn't seem especially nice, until I watch videos of people getting into swearing matches or fistfights in restaurants and Wal-Mart in the USA
There's some lazy thinking in this video, as there are in many. Beginning with the concept that 85% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border, as if we somehow crave to be near them. There is a huge population bubble in Southern Ontario which accounts for a vast percentage of the Canadian population. But if you look, you'll see that the US border has little significance compared to the trans-canada railway and highway, which run pretty much parallel for their entire length. Whether you are a fruit grower in Ontario, a farmer on the prairies, working in the lumber industry in BC - whatever, in the old days you needed a train and later, a road. In most places, there is no alternative route, and due to its importance, it is a matter of national pride to keep both road and rail open and operating all year no matter what.
Other lazy thinking included the Yukon and NWT, these are beautiful - and remote areas where many people live an idyllic life and wouldn't consider moving south. The area is also full of gold and other minerals, including diamonds. As a result, the "towns" are often more like established "transit camps" with a large number of outsiders being there just for work. They tend to work long shifts, often with many days on duty before a weeks break. They often live in camps where all meals are provided and they become their own insular communities. They are not there to stay, or put down roots. They are there because they want to earn a lot of money quickly. Some just don't like society that much, so do better in a remote area lie that, some have young families and have to move there to get some serious money for a house or whatever. The remoteness of the area makes it much more extreme, but I'm sure the oil rigs off the coast of Aberdeen bring a not dissimilar crowd?
There are certainly towns and cities in the UK that used to be fishing towns, or shipping destinations. Like the UK, overfishing can lead to strict quotas and short fishing seasons, container shipping, did away with most of the jobs in the ports. But again, the distances in Canada can exacerbate the difficulties. If you are in a fishing town in the UK and the industry shuts down, the next town with jobs is only 3 or 5 miles away. In Canada towns and cities can be hundreds of miles apart - or more. Something you never really see in the UK are ghost towns, but they exist across North America. A new highway gets built, an industry or even just a factory or mine closes and the town gets abandoned, you cant just commute to the next town. Canadians do move greater distances than in the UK - party because they can, partly because they may have to, but if you are someone who needs to stay close to home for family reasons, an area like Newfoundland can be harsh, if you fish or work in tourism, work can be very seasonal.
Prince Edward Island is another example, nowadays big machines and automation can take the place of hundreds of workers, and the tourist season is intense but finite. Once the tourists are gone, many of the businesses simply close up for the season - tourism is huge there during the summer, bringing lots of Japanese tourists with a lot of money. for some reason, the Japanese absolutely love the book/character "Anne of Green Gables" and flock to see where it was written and set.
I've not been to Winnipeg, but I know a lot of people love it - there is a tendency in big Canadian cities to compensate for perceived failings, I believe Winnipeg is very into arts and culture. Calgary is larger and more established now, but not so long ago it also had a bit of an inferiority complex, so compensated with art and theatre, a symphony orchestra etc. Despite the list, the most popular destination to move or retire to is pretty much BC, and few Canadians (if asked) would tell you that they wanted to move to Alberta.
It’d be easy for you to move to Vancouver. Lots of people from the UK live here
on their pensions from the UK
New Brunswickers can be very down on their home province, but I put part of that down to people not really traveling much (the low income probably contributing to that). I think when you've only ever known one way of being there is a tendency to notice the warts more than the good. I definitely thought of this place as No Funswick when I was younger. I had to travel a bit, live in a big city for a while and get a bit older before I could really appreciate what we have here. A couple years ago I brought my partner back here to visit and do some hiking, and she asked me why I ever left. Next thing I knew we were looking at houses and moved back a year ago. No regrets whatsoever.
Definitely visit Vancouver. Long enough to realize its cool but also dirty.
You should take most of what this guy says with a grain of salt. A lot of what he says needs to be put into context. For example, saying that province X is much more "dangerous" than the other. Well, compared to what? I can tell you that the worst places in Canada for crime are still far safer than the safest US states (sorry to any Americans reading this, but you know it's true.) I live in one of the provinces that are supposed to be the most dangerous. What he doesn't tell you is that the crimes are often petty crimes and are most often happening in rougher parts of cities and towns. Many crimes revolve around substance abuse and are perpetrated by people who are intoxicated, so violent crimes are often committed against those who inhabit these "rough" areas. There's not a lot of violent crime going on outside of these bad areas. Not saying it never happens, just very little.
I am a Manitoban but have travelled from Nova Scotia to B.C. several times. I have not been to Newfoundland, PEI or any of the Territories. If I were to move anywhere, it would be to Ottawa or Stratford, Ontario. Stratford is a beautiful, quaint, small city (about 45,000 to 50,000 people) and is known for the Shakespeare Theatre Festival. Although the city does produce plays other than Shakespeare. It is an old city by Ontario standards and the majority of the buildings are Victorian and Edwardian and the public parks are immaculately kept. I found the people there to be very friendly and kind and welcoming. Ottawa is my first choice of city to move to for many reasons. Firstly, it is an easy city to get to know and get around in. It has a very good transit (bus) system as well as a train system. The history of that city (buildings going back to the early 1800's), world class Museums, the National Art Gallery of Canada, restaurants and bistro's and all sorts of tourist venues keep drawing me back there. Plus I feel very safe in Ottawa. I have been out by myself at Midnight to 1:00 a.m. and had absolutely no problems at all. And for a Senior woman with mobility issues, that is huge. The downtown core has Federal, Provincial and City land and each is policed by the RCMP (Federal), the Ontario Provincial Police or City of Ottawa Police Dept. so if you don't find 1 cop, you'll find another. It is also a bilingual city, so it is a good place to learn French without having to know it to get by. Montreal is only about 2 1/2 hours away and the 1,000 Islands are about 1 1/2 hours away so great for getaways.
Move to Alberta they are diversifying their economy and investing in new technologies.
Newfies are consistently friendly, and I'm not sure about New Brunswick being No Funswick. It's not the most thought about Province but we consider it cute and quaint more than anti-fun
NB'ers currently blame a lot of our issues (rightly) on our Premier. But we have a lot of little gems people really just needs to give us a chance for.
But you gotta think about the guys in Miramichi. They rock!!!
7:45 I live in Winnipeg Manitoba (aka Canada’s murder capital) and I think it’s fine and my neighbourhood is Canada’s equivalent of where a slasher film would take place that said the rest of Winnipeg and Manitoba as a whole are great places to be and I recommend coming if you want to give it a chance
The humidity is so intense in ontario I know many that come from “hot” parts of the world and they can not take the heat. Lol
@J. T. Pilgrim: I don’t know where in Ontario you have lived, ( I am assuming Southern Ontario) but coming from Northern Ontario, the summers were hot, but not humid. It was a dry heat, where going in a river or lake actually cooled you off.
I live in Toronto, and yes, both the summers and winters are very moist, given that we are close to a Great Lake!

Edmonton, Alberta is the best city in Canada for young people right now. It’s already the youngest, being the only big city with more millennials than boomers. It’s affordable, homes in central, mature communities for under 600k. Fast growing. Best schools for kids and the UofA is the best university in all the prairies. River Valley is insanely nice. Ice District and Rogers Place are amazing. Whyte Ave and the food scene is super strong. Much greener than Calgary and more sunny than most other big cities. Rec centres and parks are amazing. Wages are very high.
Lots of things to love about places live Vancouver and Toronto, but tough to break into those cities without a relatives money. (Over 70% of those buying homes in those cities are being gifted down payments by family members…).
Also, in Edmonton, you can actually make stuff happen, which is rare for a big city of 1.5mil. Getting involved in local orgs and Boards is really encouraged.
Edmonton is leading North American in urban planning reforms (removing parking minimums, infill, and ADUs). And has a young, progressive council.
Canadian here ! Born and raised in Toronto,, have lived in Ottawa, as well as a few smaller cities in Ontario. Have been all over Canada, and quite frankly , you couldn't go wrong no matter where you settled. Just remember when they quote stats, thats from Canada as a whole . All in all compared with alot of other countries, Canada gets high marks all round.
Okay, don't come to Winnipeg in February...
Live in Alberta now but grew up in Manitoba and love the province and still consider Winnipeg home, its a fantastic city, Royal Winnipeg Ballet, world class art gallery, museums, opera, symphony, the Forks Market, a super interesting Legislation Building with the Golden Boy, Assiniboine Park which is larger than Grand Central Park in NY. Folklorama the oldest festival of its kind in the world brings all the cultures which live in the province together to share the drink, music, food and dance from everywhere. Folk Fest is world renowned, and there really are to many festivals to list. Excellent food, the widest temperature range on the planet from coldest to hottest, and of course lakes, several have white sand beaches. As I said I love it there. Ontario is huge and has so much to offer, Quebec is unique and has amazing architecture, Nova Scotia is stunningly beautiful, Saskatchewan is well just kinda there, Alberta has the Rockies, lived in Banff for 2 years, just awesome, B.C. is wonderful but very expensive, lived for a couple of years in the arctic, Northwest Territories and Nunavut blew my mind to see swans up there, they go to breed. The whole country is awesome and no matter where you are the sunrises and sunsets are stunning and the northen light are always beautiful.
I lived my first 33 years in Winnipeg, Manitoba. What he's not bothering to point out is that the higher crime and "poverty" rates in Winnipeg are almost entirely within the fairly large Native or "Indigenous" population - just as are the higher crime rates in the northern territories. When I lived there I was never concerned about walking anywhere at any time in the city (except on Main street when the bars closed at 2am) even though at that time Winnipeg had the highest murder rate in the country - it was mostly Natives killing or assaulting other Natives within their district - it had no impact on the greater community.
I'm a French Canadian from Québec and I can honestly say that I love living here. I'm fluent in both languages and have traveled across our beautiful country. Each province has it's own charm and cultures. We also tend to be very proud of our country as a whole. It isn't perfect, far from it, yet it's an an awesome country to live in. If the USA is a melting pot of cultures, we are a mosaïque of cultures. Canadians will be the first to complain about certain aspects of life here but we know down deep that we have it good.
I'm proud to say that in every province I have met kind and generous people. In general, Canadians tend to be caring of others and will often go out of their way for them.
Also I cannot stress enough how kind the people of Newfoundland are. It can actually be a little overwhelming but is dampered by how genuine they are. The absolute best thing that can happen to you is having your car breakdown in Newfoundland. A simple "Do you need any help?" from a passing resident will end up with you spending a week in their guestroom, meeting all their family and neighbors. They will feed you massive amounts of food and quite a few alcoholic beverages. Before you know it your car is fixed and you have made friends for life.
If you've never spent an evening around a kitchen table with a bunch of Newfoundlanders eating salt cod, drinking beer and Newfoundland Screech, then you have never truly lived. 😂😂
Newfoundland is on my bucket list. From Québec too.
Friends or mine worked under a three year contract in north west territories & were able to pay for a beautiful home in cash in Alberta when they moved. So it’s how you look at it.
You heard about Halifax, Nova Scotia when you reacted to The Halifax Explosion!
if this is a proper Canadian list it'll just be a best to best list of the best qualities/sights/strengths of each province and territory :)
I'm from Quebec and I was genuinely surprised we were number 1
I honestly think Vancouver (if you can afford it) would be a great fit for you
Totally agree I would like to move back to Vancouver but can't afford the house prices so I am stuck here in Quebec.
As I like say: if you're born in Canada, you've have won the lottery of life.
I live in NB and it's certainly not lacking in fun. There is lots to do. People are friendly, there are great restaurants, places to drink if you're into that. Good schools, average weather, .
omg, so many canadian musicians. Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Celine Dion, Nelly Furtado, Feist, Diana Krall, Paul Anka, Sarah McLaughlin, Michael Buble, Shania Twain, Shawn Mendes, Avril Lavigne, Neil Young, the list goes on and on, and so many bands, Kiss, Nickelback (love them or hate them, we mostly just make fun of them), April Wine, Loverboy, Guess Who, Arcade Fire, Tragically Hip, Rush. Lots of great talent.
The territories are harsh. In the winter, you get maybe 4 hours of daylight per day and it's cold. But, in the summer, you get 20 hours of daylight and it's warm. If you can handle the winter, it's great, but a lot of people only last one or two years there.
Crime in the far north is a legitimate issue. It is almost always linked to substance abuse. Many northern communities have become dry as a response.
Let me give you my two cents, as I've been to every province a number of times.
That's a hard knock on Manitoba, it's not so bad. Although they do say, the mosquitoes are fine until they drop you.
Newfoundland is a lovely place. The geography is rugged, kind of like Cornwall, and if you enjoy the fierce power of the Atlantic, you will love it there. Newfoundlanders are probably the most welcoming people in the country, as they demonstrated when so many planes were grounded there during 9/11. To be fair, the winter can be brutal. Some places get 5 metres of snow a year.
For me, PEI is the most beautiful province in the country. It has gorgeous beaches, the secondary roads are a distinctive red clay, the lobster is plentiful, and you could not find nicer people in the country. Why this video puts them so far down the list is a mystery to me.
New Brunswick. Most boring province in the federation.
As I go through this video, I get more annoyed. The only criteria they seeM to consider are house prices, average income, and crime statistics. That is a very narrow focus. Saskatchewan is not a crime infested province, rather a friendly and welcoming place. One of the most impressive things about Saskatchewan is that most of it is completely flat, so you can see huge distances and even entire weather systems in the sky. There are also vibrant cities, the capital Regina, and Saskatoon, nicknamed "the Paris of the prairies".
Halifax is a great city. The only downside is that is it very far from everything else. For example, to drive to the next big city in Canada (Montreal) is 12 hours.
Vancouver is indeed lovely, although a little inward-looking. Victoria has a great climate for Canada, but is the number one retirement destination for a reason. Depends what you want.
Oh, Alberta. Whether you'll love living here depends a lot on your politics. It's by far the most conservative places in the country. If that's your thing, and you think fossil fuels are still the future, it could be the place for you.
I live in the old part of Quebec city and I love it. I would recommend 100%. It is true it could be difficult for someone not speaking french but we are making the step if you do the same and always ends up understanding each other. BTW I started watching your videos as a coincidence and I love the way you talk. Some words you say sound similar to the way we pronounce them in Qc french. Keep up with the good job!
Because of global warming, British Columbia weather is changing. They have experienced more snow this year for years even decades.
Southern Ontario gets very humid too as it's sandwiched between 3 of the Great Lakes. Humidex (what the temperature feels like) readings sometimes breach 40C. Fun fact: the Newfoundland breed of dog comes from Newfoundland and as you may have guessed the Labrador Retriever (Lab for short) comes from Labrador. Nova Scotia was the 2nd fastest growing province last year and has a ton going for it: quaint, charming, history, mild climate, great universities. East coast navy is based there.
Seriously just stay away from Prince Albert and North Battleford. Seriously just stay from those cities.
Vancouver and Victoria on Vancouver island are beautiful places to live, and you still get all the amenity of the city while having access to the mountains at your doorstep. And the climate is great.
NFLD I don’t know how much friendlier they are but, if you need help they are the first to offer I would consider them the nicest Canadians
As a Vancouverite i would say it's hard to find a better place to live. A beautiful city with a mild climate it's hard to be bored here between the ocean and the mountains there is always plenty to see and do.
You should check out How To Travel VANCOUVER (2022) - 29 Best Things To Do In Vancouver Canada.
They didn't mention all the rain on the SW mainland. But Vancouver is a great city. For much less rain and even warmer temperatures the city of Victoria is better.
Other than it's one of the most expensive places in the WORLD to live, it is truly amazing tho!
I grew up there, I’ll probably never return I watch my family numbers suffering with a ridiculous commute, very high housing costs. My last visit there I was surprised by the amount of crime, homelessness, street drug use, and litter everywhere, Yale town was still fun with great pubs and restaurants, Victoria is #1 in BC versus Vancouver now, I’m living in the Okanagan valley now and I love it, Vancouver definitely has much better warmth in the winter though. Hey Vancouverites get your crime and drug use under control.
LMAO how’s that housing market situation going bud? How’s East Hastings going lately eh? I can’t think of a WORSE place to live in Canada, apart from Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, anywhere in Yawntario, Québec, or east of Québec.
I was born, raised, educated and continue to live in the Metro Vancouver area. I have been to Alberta, Saskatchewan, North West Territories, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island). All in all, there's no place like home. I know some family friends the live in the Halifax area and they are very happy there. The Maritimes sometimes get the remnants of Atlantic Hurricanes that come up from US East Coast. With family and Scouting, I have camped in several Alpine areas in BC, on the Sunshine Coast and Southern Vancouver Island. As a pre-teen, I summered with the family in the Okanagan Valley, visited Wells Gray park and the old Gold Rush town of Barkerville. In high school, our social studies class took a Cruise on a BC Coastal freighter from Vancouver to Hyder, Alaska with a side trip to what is now known as Haida Gwaii (aka Queen Charlotte Islands). The BC coast has many Fjords like the Nordic European countries.
The Metro Vancouver area has a Major League Soccer team, National Hockey League team, Canadian Football League team along with Junior hockey leagues, and several levels of Lacrosse leagues. Some of the 2026 FIFA World Cup games will be played Vancouver and Toronto.
There are two significant Universities in the Metro area plus other universities on Vancouver Island, the BC Interior and in Northern BC.
When it comes to culture, we have everything from Broadway Shows, to the Fringe festival, Punk rock, to classic rock , to Jazz and Symphony.
Besides being on the coast, the Metro Vancouver area has many lakes that support a variety of recreational options.
We even have a few French settlements. Note: The French language of Canada is not the same French as France (we have a lot of Canadianisms). I am enjoying seeing Canada through your eyes, it reminds why Canada is such a special place. 😎
I grew up on Vancouver Island. Moved to Vancouver in 2015 and was amazed how 'big city' it was. It was definitely incredibly expensive the entire time living there.
As a Manitoban, who’s never lived or spent much time in any other province. I can safely say. We are the worst province.
Anyone I know who have moved to the Yukon for a short term, fall in love with the territory and never leave . And the a teacher friend who taught in Manitoba often talks about the better education there. So this is so subjective.
Stereotypes are sometimes, correct or accurate.... Newfoundlanders are hands down, the best of us!
I moved there, for 4 years, in my mid-twenties. The people are overwhelmingly welcoming, and generous.
The most inclusive, genuine people I've ever encountered.
A slower pace of life, may provide the time required for decency.
I think you should do a specific feature our three territories! They are a huge part of our country, and have so much to see! It’s a common misconception that we only are made up of 10 provinces. Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut are HUGE and so, so special. I lived in NWT and absolutely loved it. Northern lights every night for 7 months, 20 plus hours of sunlight in the summers, a thriving music and art scene and so many job opportunities and culture.
Dawson city music festival is legendary.
I couldn't deal with the darkness in the winter and the light in the summer. It bugs me that it gets dark at 4pm in the winter and stays bright until like 11pm with the sun up again at 5am where I am now.
Hi, I live in Alberta, I just gotta say this. The ecomomy hasn't crashed, and won't. It's just not the crazy days of "Up North" where in Fort McMurray you were paying over $1million for an "average home". Those were crazy, crazy days, apartments for over $2000.00 a month 6 years ago. It's slower, but still there. Just not hog crazy. I live in Edmonton, we've seen costs go up with inflation, but it is really not so bad. I am honestly quite put off by the characterization of the Province. It's not crashed, isn't crashing, the crime may be bad in Edmonton, but it criminal on criminal. not so much innocent victim. I've lived in Edmonton forever and have yet to know a victim of crime. The standard of living isn't bad, besides Canada Minimum Wage just increased to over $16 per hour. I dunno, just not cool on how he categorized or described Alberta. Get stuffed mate, not you, the announcer. Was in Elgin visiting many years ago. You have something we don't, history and mind boggling Architecture, Bath Cathedral BLEW ME AWAY! Unfortunately, never got to Aberdeen or Glasgow. Wish, wish. Maybe again one day. Come for a visit to our fabulous country, we ARE ACTULLY AS NICE AS THEY SAY. Bye
I have spent 4 summers working in the Yukon and fell in love with it. It not only has a pristine beauty that is breathtaking, it has fascinating history that definitely deserves a video on its' own. The history of the Klondike Gold Rush is still alive and well today in the gold rush town of Dawson City. Also the history of the building of the Alaska Highway through Canada (Yukon and BC) and into Alaska during WW2 is also fascinating as it was one of the greatest engineering feats of all time. In fact, this year is the 75th anniversary of its' opening to the public in 1948 (built in 1942 in a record time of 8 months (1700 miles) in some of the most rugged terrain on the planet!)
Also, watch "Operation Yellow Ribbon" to hear the remarkable story about how the small town of Gander, Newfoundland helped out during 9/11. A must see!
I know people who have lived there and loved it. I think the video was mistaking the culture of the work camp atmosphere with the people who actually chose to live there
As a Sourdough, thanks for saying The Yukon properly. Ever since I moved to Ontario, people call it Yukon.....
The crime rates are high in in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories is high because of the low population. 5 in a hundred in Toronto is nothing, 5 in a hundred in Qikiqtarjuaq is 10% of the town's population.
Nova Scotia is very nice. If you have decent income it will be extremely comfortable. The cost of land seems unreasonably low, I am sure that province and especially Halifax will only grow and gain equity. Find some tidal pools to show your kids! That got me hooked on science as a child.
GOTTA love those crime comparisons, where ANYWHERE in CANADA is SAFER than the Best USA State. While 600 - 700 homicides do occur each year in Canada, the USA count is 50,000 deaths from Guns alone. Health and Safety is far away quality in Canada.
There are many native/aboriginal Canadians in the northern territories and they are historically economically sidelined and separated. These people, and many people of non-native descent as well, are left in actual poverty in the territories by comparison to the cost of living and the incomes of people with good jobs. This situation is reflected to a lesser degree all over Canada. As a Canadian who tries to be fair, I don't like the downplaying of crime in Canada. It is low compared to most countries but things are far from perfect. Homelessness and government assistance are rampant. I just think its important to acknowledge that crime is not a product of bad people but bad circumstances and bad systems.
almost all the places listed with high crime, be it the NWT/Nunavut or the Battlefords in Saskatchewan are due to the socio/economic situation of the first nations people. They are more or less at the same place as black people were in the south circa 1920. There are 28 reserves in Canada that have long term drinking water advisories. In some places the water is so bad they can't use it to wash their clothes.
the exception to that is fort mac, and the reason for that is cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Mostly not a product of bad people, that is still some crime in Canada. For your other points, isn't it shocking that Manitoba has the highest indigenous populations per capita outside the Territories is at the bottom of this list? Gotta love racism
@@claytonberg721 and some had water treatment faciities which were destroyed by the people
I am Canadian but have lived in 3 countries & 5 provinces. I always return to east coast of Canada. I'm not a fan of cities - I prefer to have my neighbours homes barely visible. BTW - my best friend when I lived in London, UK was from Bangkok.
I grew up in Manitoba, and agree that the crime rate is a bit of a knock against it. The reality is, a large % of the Native population in Manitoba was negatively impacted heavily by residential schools, and considering that Manitoba has the highest % of aboriginal population amongst the provinces, it is no shock to see such a high poverty and crime rate, as many of the population still struggle with the affects of the systemic racism and mental issues that harm that community the most.
That being said, the narrator of the video is also clearly biased, summers in Manitoba are top-tier, I'd argue even some of the most beautiful in the entire world. If you compare to Vancouver, where the highs are in the high teens, low twenties, compared to Manitoba with an average of like 28-30, you can see why it is so beautiful. Combine this with the amount of lakes, it is a great place to spend the summers. Mosquitos exist literally everywhere, and I have never once had a summer day that is ruined by mosquitos.
I'm also 27 years old, and able to buy and afford a nice 2500 sq.ft. house, which would not be possible in most other provinces. For some reference, in Ontario, the 2020 statistics show average household income is $97,000 per year, and in Manitoba it is $85,000. However, the average home price in Ontario is $865,000 (over $1,000,000) in Toronto, and in Manitoba it is $349,500. It really depends what you value, if you want higher quality of life, but live with substantial debt, Ontario & BC will provide that, but if you are willing to compromise, prairie provinces such as Manitoba & maritime provinces will provide financial stability to more families.
Should we talk about the fact that since Trudeau has been in power First Nations communities (who make up 4.2% of the Canadian population) went from getting 15 billion per year to 24 billion. Where is that money going and why isn’t it being used to help fix their social situations? It’s time to get off the “systemic racism” train. First Nations people have a ton of opportunities that aren’t offered to other Canadians to improve their situations…they just have to do it.
Everytime I go to Vancouver and mention I'm from Winnipeg I get a comment about how hot it gets here, no mention of the cold...
no one gets to use their upbringing as an excuse for the behavior they chose today
I am from Alberta (note FROM Alberta) this info is WAY out of date - the ultra-conservative government is terribly regressive, and they have seriously damaged the education and medical system. QUEBEC? Seriously? Yes, there is much to recommend it culturally, but if I need to learn French I would rather live in Paris. The province is our spoiled child - wants EVERYTHING (including sovereignty from the rest of the country) and contributes nothing but bile and Maple Syrup (which we can get from Ontario) Since confederation, the rest of Canada has been dominated by its endless demands. Bitter? Not me!
I live in Québec (moved here from B.C.) et oui, j'ai appris le français (yes, I learned French).The video nailed it.
You gotta be tough to live in manitoba. Hottest temp ever was 42 degrees in 1936 and -48 degrees in 1873. Climate change was a bad problem then
The territories have some high paying jobs, BUT... things cost a heck of a lot more since it has to usually be flown in.
Please do inform yourself about the 3 territories! Don't mass them together as they are all 3 different and have their own personality. Always minimal mention of them. The Yukon is not sparse and bleak. Long winters for sure but glorious 24 hr. sunlight in the summer. Beautiful landscape and so much wildlife. Friendly people and a funky,cool, artsy vibe to most places. High crime rate? I don't think so. 🤔
When you keep saying "ten provinces" I feel offended. (I'm a resident of Yukon Territory) We also border 3 oceans. I moved here from Toronto over 30 years ago and never looked back. Have also lived in Nunavut and the UK. Main thing here is to earn enough to go somewhere warm for a bit of the winter. 😂 Yukon boasts more moose and bears than people and Canada's smallest desert and an incredible Indigenous culture.
