I have been to every province and territory in Canada country, are trying to paint a untruthful picture of Canada (yes I am Canadian). Halifax is hole that needs to be filled in, people are very unfriendly, high cost for everything. Vancouver is full of drug addicts and whores, terrible traffic, terribly high cost of living, rains a lot a. Vancouver is like California in the US, people go to make money and then get the hell out. Ottawa is nicer than Toronto, just a lot of over paid federal employees. Alberta should be number one. Quebec is a long ways from number one that is for sure, often Quebecers are the rudest people in North America, I know that for sure....... .

People leave every country (if their government allows it) and people enter every country (if that government allows it). That is life - each country has its good and bad points depending on where you live, your personal list of things of must-haves, and your personal bubble of friends and family. I laugh about Vancouver being rainy - it's getting too warm and dry. I miss the rains and colder temperatures - this is not Hawaii LOL Some people have weird expectations. I'm glad Vancouver doesn't have much snow but I'm sure some will complain about that.\n\nTo generalize about any city, country, etc. is just odd - ask yourself what you're looking for, visit at different times of the year, etc. Don't just talk to a handful of people or just visit once LOL It's like changing jobs - sometimes it's the best decision to leave a country or city and sometimes it's not. In other words, DO YOUR RESEARCH and EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF! Some places you'll love and some places you won't - we love California but would not want to live in a warm place 24/7 but others would. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT but also realize you can change locations later... and yes, children are resilient and no, you don't need your family to help out otherwise why have kids to begin with.

15-40 percent, that's California and we don't have free insurance

I will be leaving Canada within a year or so after declaring non-residency and bring my business with me. My view is that Canada is a good place to live a normal life. Healthcare covers your peace of mind, even if the waitlist is long and bureaucratic. Social benefit is not as generous as people suggest sometimes (at least in Canada unless you're on actual welfare where you can't work but you can't rise your way up easily and you're forever stuck in 1.5k CAD/month... which would be ofc much better than other struggling countries but immigrants often aspire for greater things than that. \n\nEven though I was an Asian immigrant, I never faced significant racism afaik (I could be socially naive however), but there are definitely limitations of opportunities. It's not too difficult to find entry to intermediate jobs, at least for me but that's probably because I did schooling here in Canada. And I was able to network aggressively and learned to be an extrovert, so that also helped. But still, Canadian living cost is high (and I'm saying this from Calgary... imagine what it's like in Vancouver/Toronto). Is it doable? Ofc. 50-70k CAD/year is quite doable ESPECIALLY in Calgary, Alberta. But it'd be difficult to achieve financial independence and true wealth. This is true everywhere ofc but more so in Canada compared to, say, USA where living cost is lower and wage is higher with more opportunities. It's a great place to live normally. If you wanna become exceptional (wealth, customized goods and services, etc), it become harder and costs more. \n\nEven now when I now own business after struggling to get here over 10 years that generates income that I need to achieve financial freedom, tax becomes frightfully bad. Alberta (that imposes lowest tax rate compared to other Canadian provinces (not including territories for obvious reason) is comparable to California in USA that is among the highest in all US states. And let's be real; Alberta is nowhere close of being California. Imagine the taxes in BC/Ontario shiver. \n\nOnce my tax rate becomes high enough to justify moving, I will pull the trigger. Still window-shopping where I wanna go and I have some lists but it's gonna happen especially as Canada will have to deal with their struggling economy, further distancing from US and their government mismanagement that continues to cost the society. I will not have any part in it. I may come back once in a while for visit or potentially retire depending on what the future looks like but right now, I just don't see my longterm future here.

Cops don’t do anything until something happens when everything is too late my neighbor threaten me to get guys to beat me up and I called police they said they couldn’t do anything this Ontario police in California

It's funny af since America is mentioned in our itahasas it's called krouncha dvipa sugriva goes to California which is called kapilaranya and he describes America being an beautiful land with Rich culture he describes native Americans also if sugriva knew about this would happen he would have nuked the entirety of America with astras

Um... (1) Living in Alberta, I pay overall less tax than someone in my tax bracket living in California. We don't all have high taxes. (2) Montréal is allo-lingual, and probably 80% able to speak English in its core. Quebec City is primarily French. (4) We have publically funded, not free, healthcare, and regulated pharmacare, private eye and dental care (5) you typically tip anyone who provides you a personal service - you should include valets, housekeeping, consierge services, porters and anyone who provides exceptional service. Get out of Vancouver, Canada is big.

I have a tech job in California in which I can work remotely. Can I move to Canada and live there with a work visa and bring my wife and kids?

Hello, I'm from California 34 yrs old single gay,, you?????,,.

islam is an intolerant totalitarian conquest ideology invented by aggressive militaristic desert tribe leader mohammed who compiled the quran from shards of jewish/christian text that he had heard on his business travels to Syria...to which he added his own fantasies...and dictated to an aide because he could not read or write (mo was illiterate)...mohammed ordered beheading of 700-900 men of the jewish Qurayza tribe and made their girls and women sex slaves...because they would not accept his 'revelations'...islam was spread mostly by threat and violence...the caliphs (kalifa) who were successors of mohammed fought and killed eachother for the power...islam is like the Eagles Hotel California: 'you can check in any time you like but you can never leave'...official punishment for leaving islam is death penalty (ridda)...in what 'fantastic' islamic country would you like to live?

I'm currently in California, but I want to either move to Oregon, Washington or just move to Canada lol. I'll update this comment in 5-6 years and update whoever is reading this on my decision :D

Canadians think Canada is the best, yes best in taxes and the best in the worst weather in the world... \nI would never think to visit this country, because simply they don't have California

I'm Jamaican?? Canadian ?? and I love it here I've lived in the US ?? NY Flatbush and Church, South Central Philly North Felton St, and Atlanta Stone Mountain but I've never been to California, lived in London, UK Catford Perry hill big up!!!! ??

My aunt is Lebanese and obviously her sons and daughters are too. My aunt looks white and get 0. But my cousin looks more Lebanese and he gets racism all day everyday in California. I absolutely hate it. I'm Irish, French, and German. So we all see it.

racism is everywhere to varying degrees. what's so hard to fathom about that. of course white people are going to think there's less racism. brown guy here in Northern California ...every example of racism demonstrated in this vid I have experienced on multiple occasions. its a regular occurrence.

i remember when there was a huge earthquake in California and the road systems collapsed and people were stuck in their cars and on the news , they only showed this once, but we saw young black men risking their lives to save those people 's lives .. I went to the US often and I often came in contact with wonderful people of every culture or race and ALL were kind and sweet.

California is the same thing, people alway think diversity you don’t think that but I got racism more often in California then in other places. From schools to work places, parks to walking on the streets. I just ignored them. Some people are just plain cruel and mean. They subconsciously do that.

I love Canada, I have a lot of family in Toronto and have been there many times as well as Montreal and Vancouver. Tbh, there’s no place like the US. We have all types of climates and geography. From deserts, tundra, rain forests, etc. We have some of the best mountains, beaches, and cities on Earth. If you like cold weather, stay up north like Chicago or Boston. If you like normal every season weather, we have many places for that. Mediterranean weather in California, and tropical weather in Florida. We have it all. We have the best sports fans in the world and every sport is accepted here. You can even see so many people play Rugby and Cricket in many parks. Many great universities throughout the country. Best attractions in the world for all age groups. High pay and decent cost of living in most part of the country. Supercar culture is the best in the world especially in SoCal (my personal favorite), TV and entertainment, and the list keeps going on and on. I know that the government in this country is pretty messed up, but hopefully that will be resolved in the future. I also respect the safety that Canada has, but have to admit that Toronto is getting pretty dangerous in some areas. Plus the History of America is amazing. I really do love Canada and would live there if I had to move out of the country, but there’s no place like the USA. ??❤️??

Oh my god I live in England which is nearly one of the smallest country. its smaller than california but it has 20 million more residents then Canada\n\n\nOk i get it. Canada has a lot of its space using up natural habitats and islands so less people \nBut England surprisingly has 55 million people

Well, Canadians are a minority in North America. California has more people than Canada. There are more Blacks in the USA than all Canadas population. So, being a minority will make you feel like your kind of special. Being American is not since there are 320 million Americans .

1:41 Canada has less people than California, despite being much much bigger

We moved from California to Louisiana. My brother's girlfriend constantly said my 3 year old daughter was always trying to act and sound white. She reads very well and that is her normal voice. I didn't even know how to respond to that comment.?

Come to the Delano California there's no racism here

Got to visit the neighbors up north two months ago and thankfully, my experience was wonderful! I'm of Mexican descent from Southern California and was visiting St. John, NB, and the people in New Brunswick were surprisingly friendly folks. I even had a random stranger who was worried about my bowel movements and warned me that eating too much seaweed would give me the runs. I absolutely enjoyed my time in New Brunswick and look forward to visiting my neighbors up north again in the near future.

I KEEP  WRITING THE SAME THING EVERYDAY BUT, NO ONE WILL LISTEN. IN THE 1950'S BORDER PATROL ACTUALLY DID THEIR JOB, NO ONE QUESTIONED THE BORDER PATROL. IN THE 1950'S ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS WERE MEN,  NO SUCH THING AS FAMILIES CROSSING THE RIVER. ALL AMERICANS WOULD REPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS TO THE BORDER PATROL,  THERE WAS NO TALK ABOUT  RACISM, ATTORNEYS, SANCTUARY CITIES, ILLEGAL ALIENS IN THE 1950'S DID NOT MARCH AROUND WITH THE MEXICAN FLAG, SHOUTING UNDOCUMENTED AND UNAFRAID. THERE IS ONE WORD IN THE ILLGAL ALIEN INVASION THAT IS NOT DISCUSSED AT LENGTH AND THAT WORD IS...I L L E G A L.... IMMIGRATION IS NOT ABOUT RACISM, ABOUT COMING TO AMERICA FOR A BETTER LIFE..... IT IS ABOUT..... THE RULE OF LAW, THE GOVERNER OF CALIFORNIA IS BREAKING THE RULE OF LAW, HE SHOULD BE ARRESTED, FINED AND JAILED.  IF THE ENTIRE COUNTRY  AND I MEAN  EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN WOULD GET  BEHIND..... THE RULE OF LAW.... THEN THE ILLEGAL  ALIEN INVASION WOULD STOP. ITS ALL ABOUT THE LAW, THE RULE OF LAW... AND NOTHING ELSE. A LONG TIME AGO SOME POLITICIAN  MADE A STATEMENT THAT..... IF... YOUR NOT AN AMERICAN?... THEN.... YOU ARE SOMETHING ELSE.    HMMMM DID HE MEAN ILLEGAL ALIEN?

We have a major problem in all poor apartment s in Glendale Arizona California and Glendale NewYork most refugee s from Obama administration they use false names to get into houses American s Identity they steal and they make fake Visa s fake document s fake marriage to steal AMERICANS money from all three banks Syrian Africans n Koren most lie where there from Russia s as well as British

That happened to me when I went to Target in California and I went in to pay my bill there. I was followed by people and I notice that there was some other than my race stealing while they were following me.\nAlso, my sister applied for a teaching\nJob and she put down she was Caucasian instead of African American; she went on the interview and got the job.\nBut me my name the person would come out and call my name then look at all the women that were Caucasian waiting to be interviewed.\nWhen I would stand up the interviewer would have the funniest look on her/his face then will ask again you are and say my name again.

Listen while apartments managers store owners is watching us black people at the same time most white people is robbing alot of companies blinds. By the way the local wal mart here in the state of California wal mart had to lock alot of there product up behind locked glasses oh the morjority of wal mark customers is Hispanics about 2% blacks 1 % whites now while alot of these companies watching black people other races of people is robbing yall blind.

Try approaching Mexican apartment managers in southern California, being black or white, you'll be in for a rude awakening.

KEEP VOTING FOR TRUDEAU AND HIS MUSLIM PARTY. REMEMBER, CANADA HAS LESS PEROPLE THAN CALIFORNIA ! ! ! THEY WILL SOON OWN CANADA LIKE THEY OWN HOLLAND, AND\nBELGIUM ! ! !

This is happening in Southern California. The Chinese are buying ranch style homes. Demolishing them. And building Mega Mansions. Check out the YouTube video Chinese Beverly Hills. This was my city of Arcadia,California. Chinese swarmed over us. Young and Old. All seem to have a lot of ?.

I wonder why there are lots of Chinese lives here in the US with Chinese passport, especially in California. US immigration should investigate this too. These Chinese knows what they are doing. Of course they will lie to immigration officers that they are just victims of fraud but the truth is they know what they are doing because they are willing to pay even though they know it is a fraud.

It's always the Chinese, they have an agenda. To eventually control ... they have done the same in California -- destroying the entire communities.

In California We have the same crap. We have many people walking the streets of L.A. they barely speak english but the liberals want them there, giving them government jobs.

This is happening here in California . Now ice is busting these birthers homes wich the Chinese women have baby's.

i stayed in canada the full 3 years so i can get the citizenship......when i get a chance to migrate to california i grabbed it right away.....i like canada but its just super cold

This video is misleading with much information..What many do not know and even homeowners..that their Property Taxes do go for the schooling and HUD assisstance is shared with illegals...just like visas that are overstayed..On the surface we are taught there is not corruption in the system..BS ..Sanctuary cities and much more BS negates this whole video..this sounds like Obama Rhetoric not Trump...Remember the system is still corrupt and California Governors have been Jesuit controlled for decades..

Canada has less people than California...

Cali GOV Moonbeam should pay US taxpayers back from his salary after 66 yo California illegal alien Andres Avelino Anduaga used the birth certificate of a U.S. citizen to acquire a California driver's license, a social security card and a U.S. passport. Anduaga then stole $244,441 in Supplemental Security Income benefits, $112,981 in Medi-Cal benefits and $3,486 in food stamps.

how much taxes do they pay? I was in California and they don't have to get a license but they drive cars with no plates on them. In taxachusetts i know a guy who got in an accident with a truck that was driven by an illegal...he did not have a license and they let him go...the company that owned the truck paid. They get more benefits than us and they pay no taxes. I was unemployed once and had no health care. every place I applied refused me health care so at the end of the year I had to pay a penalty for each month I didn't have health care. What penalty do they pay? I am discriminated against for being a poor white american citizen. This country is a joke and I wish I was never born here.

Are the Muslim women covered their faces because of being shameful and ugliness? I saw them in California one time and thinking they have something to hide.

The whole concept of Sanctuary Cities beginning 30 years ago was sold to bleeding heart Democrats in California as temporary sanctuary from violence in Central America,. It is just one of a long list of lies. Keep an eye on your churches Canada. Sanctuary Cities got started by the Catholic Church pandering their parishioners votes to city politicians. I cannot name one Sanctuary City that any voter ever had a say in. It was all done by politicians. 30 years later we have 20 million Illegals & Visa overstays, OUR wages & YOUR wages have suffered. If Central America can't solve their problems in 30 years that is the fault of the people who abandon the country. People who abandon their country do not deserve citizenship in another country. Canada needs to #DrainTheBeaverDam

You know WHY he's doing these things, don't you? It's because just before the election, like in California, he will give illegals the right to vote to ensure natural born Canadians will not be able to put him out of office. This is also why he is starting to call them irregulars versus illegalsl

Doses he put his homeless up in hotels? That creature is as demonic as our California nuts.

15 years in America as an illegal. Man, I am so tired of these people who think they can break laws and move from one country to another with impunity. The question that never seems to be asked is why are these countries south of the border in such chaos? Why?\nWhy can't you find a better life in the country you were born in? Why? \nYou really need to figure out how to turn your hellholes into productive civil societies. And if you can't, tough. \n\nHere in California we've been overrun with illegals. Of course, that's no secret. However, I think the illegals and the libs here think it's a right of passage if you can speak their so-called Spanish. I say so-called because most of what I hear sounds more like Ebonics than Spanish. As a matter of fact, if you live in California and you're looking to study a second language, you should be concentrating on Mandarin, Russian, Japanese, and Korean. Those are the languages which will have real commercial use. But if you must learn Spanish, please go to Spain. That's the only place I've heard Spanish being spoken.

Send them all to california

Something people need to know is that while Trump was just a little shy of receiving the popular vote to win big, our closet queen only received 39% of the popular vote to win a majority government. NOW THAT SUCKS BIG!!!!! So NO the Mills are NOT the majority of the voters. Also I,m from Alberta where he did not got much support. The majority of his support and that of socialism came from the East. That is the part of Canada a lot of Albertans wish to disassociate themselves from. Ontario is our California!!!

Hotel for illegals? lol Trudeau didn't invent the Hotel California it already exists

I think Trudeau has hit on something that surely will work in California. Gov. Brown should transfer the illegals from the deportation centers, unite them with their children and house them in the numerous hotels in Beverly Hills and Malibu. This would be a tremendous savings to the tax paying citizen. I am certain the coast-to-coast jet set limousine chauffeured celebrity liberals will jump at the opportunity to pick-up the tab. Plus, it will place the illegals who they champion over US citizens closer to them. Think of the diversity!!!

We should send them every illegal alien from California.
