2 years, 10 months ago @frankhill2406 My wife is a US citizen and has been living in Canada for many years now. She has always said that Canada is the better of the two countries and that she would never move back to the US. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @anahills3836 I am a Canadian and lived in the US from 1980-1992. I was a teenager and I enjoyed all the places I lived there. Mass shootings were not yet common though we did have a disgruntled employee with a gun on campus during my time in college. No one was actually shot.(This was in a very small town.) I did not get sick in the US. I have lived in Canada since then and enjoy it here too. I enjoy not having poisonous animals in the area where I live. I don't like the winters, and every winter I wish we could re-draw the border and make it go north and south! I have used the medical system up here and have been very thankful for it. The past couple of years with covid I have been especially glad to be in Canada because I preferred our response to the situation over that of the US. Most of the people in my workplace were not happy about it though and I believe 2 or 3 families actually moved to the US once the border re-opened. They like the feeling of having less governmental control in the US. 2 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @i_am_m3384 I absolutely understand any actual or potential parent, who would never assume to move to the US, because the amount of victims killed or injured in that 'type of event' in the US is higher than the amount of victims in the entire world outside the US. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @MegaTapdog Every Canadian I know that travels to other countries goes out of their way to let people know they are not Americans, many Americans put Canadian flags on their backpacks, bags and suitcases not realizing nobody falls for that anymore. I have witnessed so many rude entitled Americans, have been treated rudely many times until the person finds out we are Canadian.\nWatched a man and woman yell at a guy selling souvenirs in Paris because he would not take US cash. \nSlunk out the door because we were afraid they would think we were American. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @Vitalabyss You say you feel your area is good, your education is good, and even the healthcare is good but expensive.\nNone of that is true.\nThe reason you can't see it, can't feel it, is because you have never lived where those things are truely good.\nA place where your safe enough that you never have to consider if what you just heard was gunshots or fireworks. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @Alex-mf8qm No offence, but your reaction to school shootings and abortion are a big reason why most Canadians will say no. The passive tolerance for the abhorrent stance of a lot of US culture and policy is mind-boggling, and that's with the good people. The crazies are still out there too and the crazies seem to be pushing a lot of the policy and culture these days and too many good people get swept up in it. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @whitewave09 Yes, it could happen. We are a multi racial black/brown/Euro decent family in Canada. There are giant pot holes in the Canadian health care system for us as we are often not believed or assumed to be drunks or drug-heads. We know similar families who HAD to take work in America (with benefits) FOR the health care, the doctors were less likely to gatekeeper care when it was paid for. Also those who moved to New Jersey, Missouri, Wisconsin found much more racially inclusive communities (seemingly largely due to just a bigger population of different people so no one really sticks out) 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @marcfournier823 I'm being treated for cancer. I could not afford to go to the states. My only out of pocket expense for my treatment is coffee and parking. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @katb1784 Personally, the fact that you did not dare to address the parts of the comments relating to abortion, women's rights and the LGBTQ+ communities speaks volumes about the difference between Canada and the United States. Montreal, Quebec, Canada. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @vestro59 We were supposed to move to the USA in the late 60s I’m so happy my father decided to turn his station waggon back to Canada. We’re not perfect but the US isn’t serious deep shit. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @noelroberts2960 I have travelled to the US often for work for close to 25 years, visiting client sites. While I live in Canada, I had witnessed so many experiences and differences that it became impossible to consider a move there. There are obvious tax advantages (most states, though not all, combined with fed taxes have a lower tax rate, as well as write off benefits of owning a house). Racism is a problem here too, towards black people (among others) and including violence and systemic racism towards our indigenous population (e.g. police and healthcare), but the level of systemic and societal racism in the US towards black people is difficult to comprehend.\n\nIn my work experience in the US over the years, my team was in Utah at the time of a mass shooting in the mall that we'd typically go for dinner. An employee at the company shot and killed his wife in the church parking lot. I've been at a conference in Nashville that had to be locked down because there was a shooting in the mall next door (to the Grand Ole Opry), which was across the highway from the restaurant were there was the shooting where a black man took down the shooter earlier that year. As an employer our company couldn't believe the costs the company had to pay. California was ridiculously high, but so even was Texas.\n\nWith Obamacare the US is making huge strides in healthcare. It's not just about the health insurance coverage, but the fact that the legislation is forcing insurance and healthcare providers to standardize their systems, and make the data flow much better. This will allow for more innovation, faster handling of transactions, and transparency of costs (an example is people not knowing their cost until AFTER going through the procedure). I believe the US will outstrip Canada (which is only in the middle of the pack of developed countries) in service for cost in about 10 years. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @stephanmarcouxdrums4877 It's an obsession and fixation all those vidéos about Canadians and Québécois. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @colind7678 At this point, I might consider Hawaii. But that is based on visiting there only twice. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @colind7678 Tyler, I understand what you say about most people in the US goung to be Ok if they have health insurance though thier employer. But, employers use health insurance as a tactic to intimitate employees. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @colind7678 In more recent years, I try to even avoid visiting the US. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @stewartbonner when you speak of school shootings why are you peppering it with giggles? 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @nicholeayt509 Your white, middle class, male privilege shines through in this video. You have the luxury of shock 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @brayundia I'm so surprised that you personally don't find gun violence as an issue in the USA !! You would find that in most developped countries in the world that issue is one of the main reason why USA is not the dreamed country it used to be. It's becoming a bigot country that is definitely not an inspiration anymore for most of the world. USA used to be kinda of a beacon of the western civilisation but not anymore. Quite the opposite : it's the example not to follow !! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @jlcollins14 I think you need to do some reading up on gun violence in the US vs Canada if you are so shocked. The numbers are very high for the US. Canadians spend a lot of time watching american news sources to see what fresh hell our neighbours are participating in. \n\nI have a hard time finding the motivation to even travel to the US and I want to do so only to visit family history locations. And some beaches. But I have decided not to go cross borders. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @arthyland Would I move to the U.S.A?? ... Hell No!!! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @sandrabenner5698 @loneprimate WoW! You have hit every nail on the head! I concur with everything you have said. \nThank You for taking the time and writing this down! ?? 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @sandrabenner5698 I am Canadian, and don't even want to visit the states, let alone move there!!!! 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @erikfriesen1098 I vacationed in the US often in the 70s and 80s. The scenery in the west is wonderful, New York and Washington DC are very dynamic and people are generally friendly. BUT things turned very nasty after 9/11. The bogus war in Iraq and the 20 year stay in Afghanistan changed everything. The MAGA crowd of haters, gun crazies, religious fanatics and the politicians who cater to them have made the country intolerable. Any advantages America may have are vastly outweighted by the negatives that are part of everyday life. Every school child has regular shooter on the loose drills routinely. Gun-toting losers may feel a thrill from carrying a gun but I don't like the sight of them.\n\nAmericans are like frogs in a sauce pan of water that is being brought to a boil. They just do not realize how bad the US has become......... 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @PeloquinDavid I did my postgrad in NYC (Columbia U) and in the years after I move back to Canada to start my career), I would go back multiple times each year. \n\nIf I could afford it (now that I'm retired), I'd love to live there again.\n\nBut is NYC REALLY part of the US, I wonder... What I liked (and like) about NYC is how walkable it is and (though this comes as a surprise to many Americans) how safe it is as a result.\n\nWith that exception, my answer would be the same as most of those you cite here.\n\nThat said, there are data on this: lots of (mostly young) Canadians do move south for employment, for the warmer weather (or because of a relationship) and many do stay there.\n\nThat population is likely to be very undersampled in your survey, I suspect. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @Sarah-zg5qs No Way would i consider moving to the US 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @susantrott3338 No Freakin' way! 1 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @eliz3693 You shouldn't have to come to terms with mass shootings 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @Mymumsey1 The thing is, even with health insurance in the states, you can still end up bankrupt, or thousands in debt. The insurance companies seem hellbent on denying you. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @mtnpeek6748 Do you get to keep your health benefits when you retire? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @mtnpeek6748 Europe has a lot going for it too. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @mtnpeek6748 Canada has become much more violent now too. I spent 4 winters in Arizona and loved it but I lived in a safe community as I do in Canada. There are many things I like better in the US. Canadian rights are being trampled. I like that you can move to any climate you like in the US. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @keithseniuk514 I'd NEVER move to the US. I won't even visit the US. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @hanandi100 Tipical white strait male ignoring women rights, gay rights, and have no kids. I'm fine so we are all fine. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @leannezedner8156 If you guys would allow me to, I would move to the US 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @JMorg-g4x You have Biden we have Trudeau and they both made election dealswith China. Is there really any difference right now. 0 O0gJtVar7_E

2 years, 10 months ago @beabeliever9 No because of my cheque bounces I could go to prison? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @jasonarthurs3885 Aside from the ridiculous gun ownership laws, the more recent stance reversal on R v. W in many states precludes me from visiting the US, let alone moving there.\n\nY 'awl too messy. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @marcpage1651 A French Canadian here. Definitely not ! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @macdoodledoo6646 NO!! They have issues! Half of them need mental health care! Wouldn't go near the place! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @iamanisland Canadians out west (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta) might be more open to moving to the U.S. \n\nAlso, you said that small towns aren’t likely to be as bad. Sandy Hook was in Newtown Connecticut; a town with a total population of about 28,000. A small town is no guarantee a shooting won’t happen. In fact, I’m pretty sure if I researched where mass shootings have occurred, I’m fairly sure a good number of them have happened in suburbs or small towns. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @phoboskittym8500 We have guns here in Canada ,ownership is more limited in certain circumstances,and ownership is more concentrated\n\nPer capita we have about the same amount of guns (Canada also has its own military industrial complex that sell weapons overseas)\n\nWe don't have the same levels of social ills in Canada and way less people ,so mass shootings are extremely rare in Canada ? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @phoboskittym8500 The Answer is no... Canadians unless its for work would never think of it 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @kristenclarkin7662 Stumbled upon your video and I can’t believe your ignorance when it comes to women’s rights and school shootings or mass shootings in general. You definitely need more than a little self reflection at how “living in a small town” isn’t the answer since a number of shootings have affected small towns and if your small town is in the wrong state then your wife, mother, sister or daughter won’t have access to healthcare. Ignorance is bliss though since it’s never affected you personally so who cares about the other 300 million people around you! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 10 months ago @rolandgirouard5914 I'm surprised nobody mentioned crazy authoritarian cops. You don't get shot for traffic violations. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
