Yes I agree that Québec is the greatest province since I've lived here my hole life. J'adore ça!

I am surprised that my province ranked second

Quebec is the worst province in Canada .

The best video covering all the major point and information about canadian provinces. Thanks

You forgot the mention the Transfer payments from Alberta and Saskatchewan that are in the millions of dollars going to Quebec. Yet they don''t let a pipeline to cross there Province to go to Erwin Oil refineries.

I’m sorry, I live in Quebec and I think that all Canada is so diverse that stats aren’t what represents the best province. I’ve travelled around Canada and every parts of it are incredible! There only one top one and it’s Canada values! I’m sorry for imposing my point of view on that.

Quebec is the worst province. They have barbaric views on equality - they even disqualified a person from France for graduating from a university for not speaking French. May I put a sign on my store in English? Non! They are Canadian Nazis

dude manitoba is the friendly province how r they unhappy

Did mans just say that New Brunswick was the only officially bilingual province?!?!?! What about Quebec

the funny thing is where I live it takes less time to drive to the US than to drive to another province

It’s crazy how the province of Quebec, in Canada, is usually seen like an outsider...too bad for them we’re the best ??

when it comes to cultural differences, what you said there is a huge huge generalization. Why? Some preferred cultural behavior might be true for tiny nations (or small geographic areas). That is because of rather reasonable distances, habits could spread all over that area within past centuries (that is how all that is made). But talking even about Russians is a heavy stereotype. By best guess your Russians from around Moscow area and those close to eastern Chinese borders would differ more than those groups of of Chinese (or Mongolian if Mongolia is also close by), that are right on the other side of that eastern border with their Russian counterparts. And of course by Russians I mean here citizens of Russia and not their ethnicity. \nSo Saying how Europeans are all reserved (which funny enough if you mean Europe geographically would include Moscow), is just a huge misstep. It is like calling all USA citizens to be same way (something you might really want to avoid doing if ever you visit USA).\nAlso Climate. First of all Ontario is not the other name for Toronto or GTA area. It is rather big province. So that weather heavily depends if you are sitting in Toronto, Ottawa, North Bay or Windsor. That humid weather as you stated is only truth for the parts that are closer to those big lakes.\nAnd for the love of god. Canada DOES NOT have a paid insurance. Each province has its own paid insurance. So while certain things might be free in one province (like emergency ambulance), it is partially paid in other province.

Everything about Quebec is true but the hard core French people and the Provincial Government make it the worst Canadian Province because of their attitude to the rest of Canada! I once took a trip there and asked someone for directions; because I didn't speak French they started yelling and swearing at me in French and walked off. Everything there is in French yet the rest of the country is bilingual, why do they not need to be bilingual as well?

Born and raised francophone from Québec, that has seen ALL of Canada and I love it ALL. Every province and territories are amazing. Also lived in Ontario, Alberta and BC.

This is actually really well done. As a person from Saskatchewan, I didn’t expect to be as high on the list as we were. But I like it. To go with our temperature swings and high crime rate (I blame that on us being one of the most racist provinces), we also get tons of beautiful skies, a peaceful life with friendly people, and nature to check out ranging from sand dunes and badlands to northern pine forests.

I've lived in all of the western provinces but moved to Nova Scotia. Our household income far surpasses the average and we live in a sub 50k house and have a cabin on 10 acres. Nothing can compare in my opinion.

I use to think that BC would be the best place to retire but I'm changing my mind about that. Between 50°C temps where towns spontaneously combust and flooding and landslides to the degree that cuts the province off from the rest of the country, I think I'll just stay where I am.

Rating provinces as a whole is really stupid, that’s be like rating the U.S while it contains both Texas and New York. Yes that’s how big Canadian provinces are, the super northern and the super southern, As well as east and west. have a completely different culture, attitude and accent. And sometimes even speak a different language. Yes contrary to what foreigners may think Quebec is not the only province with French speaking populations, as well there are some English speaking populations in Quebec.

I still believe Alberta is the BEST province in Canada. I have been across Canada and lived in Ottawa for a short time, but Alberta born and bred.

First of all Montreal's extremely expensive place to be the rents are extremely high the people in Quebec are racist and most people come to Alberta to make money Alberta is the number one province in Canada being a Canadian I know. this guy has no clue and it's not always 40 below 0 videos total b*******

Newfoundland is a breathtakingly beautiful province. A great place to live and raise a family.

Not that it matters I'd not care what Provence I'd live in or territories! We as Canadians live in the best country in the world !!! When you put labels on our countries provinces or territories do shut up ! I've lived in most if not all of them . They ALL have something to offer ! If I might add if you from the USA or England or where ever I bet you can find that they think the same as we do . THAT THEY ALSO LIVE IN THE GREATEST COUNTRY THERE OWN ! Stupid opinions! Everyone has got one .

Heres my take. I am 11 th generation Canadian and proud to be so. I have traveled all over the world and would never live anywhere but Canada. Does not matter which province as they are all beyond amazing.

glad to see my province getting 2nd place, pretty decent for the Canadian version of Texas.

Im from Quebec and i would love to visit all provinces in the future ??????

Argh. Wish I could take like half a year off and travel to all the provinces. Newfoundland & Labrador looks really appealing for a short vacation.

where would Ontario and Quebec rank if the money tap from Alberta got shut off. If the economy in those provinces is so good why do they need such big handouts from the west?

Yay my province is #1 let's go Québec !!! I did not expect that at all

Quebec is the Welfare province of Canada sucking money from BC, SK and mostly AB.

Every Province and Territory have their Pros and Cons. Every Canadian should do their best to go see them for themselves. They may be pleasantly surprised.

I’m not surprised Quebec is rank 1 when we sending equalization money from Alberta, the greatest province in Canada. Alberta will stay strong forever.

Wow this guy can’t be a true Canadian at all Toronto a safe place ? Or even Ontario safe ? That’s hilarious multiple murders everyday even in rural towns and small cities the housing rate is unaffordable by far almost million for a house that cost 200 000 about 5 years ago or so and to rate Quebec the best province when most Canadians can’t even stand them is hilarious what a stupid video

Quebec is the best province? That's untrue, it's the best only because Alberta pays for literally everything they have

Swap Quebec and BC. Almost no Canadians that don't speak primarily French would ever rate it as the BEST overall province.

CANADA IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, EVERY PROVINCES HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL, ALL CANADIANS FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST ARE VERY NICE TO PEOPLES, KIND, STRONG, POLITE, COURAGEOUS, AUTHENTIC ETC.. WE ARE VERY, VERY DIFFERENT THAN AMERICAN!!!!!!!!

Nova Scotia, the best fishes are there. Alberta definitely have what's best for lungs.\nlol very cheap rent in Montreal, of course if you like black mushroom, mold and wall made from paper. Yes it's cheaper but you get what you pay for. I lived in 4 provinces each one have good and bad points (as stated in the vid) the choice have to made carefully because the chances to be stuck for years into something you don't like is very high. In fact the 3 main points to look for are: Water, trees and rocks, choose what you like the most and make the most of it. About industries and technologies, Canada is so far behind the G7 that it doesn't worth the shot to aim for it.

Missed opportunity: shoulda been Top 10 Best Provinces

NO FKN WAY QC #1 I AM SHOOK. I was so ready to be so triggered about it not being in the top 3. I’m a native anglophone Montrealer born and raised in Quebec and this province, despite its corruption and cyclical political tensions, it is a beautiful, unique, friendly and authentic province.

Quebec is also bilingual province!

You have definitely never been to manitoba. It's not minus 30 everyday lollll. And it's one of the WARMEST province in the summer.

What a joke. Quebec totally dependent on other provinces to operate its Socialist's system.

Quebec is the best province to live in....????. Get real...they rely heavily on a 13.5 billion equalization from Western Canada to afford their lavish lifestyle. They should be #5 at best...

Dude your drunk!!! I've lived in 4 provinces ab, bc, ns and nb. Ns and nb are by far the best to live. Quality of life, jobs, scenery! Ab is by far the worst and it is one I know something about being born there.

Quebec is far from being the best province in Canada. Montreal is great but their is a disconnect with the rest of the province. The biggest export of Quebec is young people. Once they graduate from University they leave as the job opportunities are in Ontario and western Canada. The Quebec pension plan now pays out more than it takes in. The academics and politicians are hell bent to push the ‘vive la Quebec and French Uber alles’ that it turns off business and industry. An example is the pharmaceutical industry was all headquartered at one time in Quebec and it moved out to Ontario. The personal income tax rates are higher than most provinces and health care is not the best either.

Your the only person who would rank NFLD that far back. Life and weather in NFLD is not what people exaggerate it to be. Plus try and find a Newfie that wants to leave and Isolation is an antiquated idea in a modern world. \nUUUHHHHH well its a crap hole outhouse province but its a beautiful Out house.\nI've lived in BC, Alberta, Ontario and NFLD all gorgeous in their own rights but NFLD out paces all of them for the peace and it's beautiful coastline, Iceberg Alley, Historical places in NFLD and Nova Scotia are older and more significant to the settling of NA. Plus Nova Scotia Weather is very comparable to NFLD obviously you've never visited Sydney or places along the South East Coast.\nThe say this province is more beautiful then another is STUPID Canada has distinct beauty in everyone. \nP. S. do your research NFLD's Unemployment rate is lower then Nova Scotia and PEI

Yeah fuck this list, putting backwards Alberta and Quebec at the top while putting Manitoba at the bottom. Gee why the fuck does Winnipeg alone out populate most of the entire province's ranked above it? You'd think of it's such a terrible place to live nobody would be stay. But it's actually I've of the most progressive and diverse places in Canada where as the video admits you can actually find a job too. Fuck this shit, while jobless Atlantic Canada gets an the credit Manitoba actually has the jobs and culture for real and is just coolest, but wait we have plenty of energy and construction to deal with that problem. Manitoba is still one of the greatest places in the world to live and this list fucking bellies that fact.

And yet QC has managed to convince Ottawa that it is a have not province and receives $13.8 billion dollars a year in transfer payments. All that government taxpayer funded welfare and they still have the highest taxes. As for safe, they have more hells angle club houses than any other province....

As someone from BC I think we ended up pretty much where I expected. It was also fun to recognize all the the random clips from the province!

I've been to every province, and territory in Canada, and I am not sure I would agree with your order! Still, even the worst place in Canada is still better than most other places in the world. I've been living in the Yukon since 2009, so my opinions might not go over so well!
