Quebec is a permanent welfare province paid for by hard working Canadians across the country.

I’m from Quebec ?

I live in a small town on quebec

Small tip if you're moving to western Canada and trying to make friends. Talk shit about Ontario and Quebec. Is it healthy, no. Will it work, mostly. This is the method most common among white easterners who move out west and it works every time.

As a quebecois FUCK YEAH I AGREE QUEBEC CEST LMEILLEUR OSTI! And yeah vancouver, victoria and toronto are insanely expensive for sure. But northern ontario isnt really! The estrie in quebec and gaspesie are rlly fuckin nice

Canada is a great nation and for them to open their hearts and borders (Visa-Free) to the people of South America and Mexico is a great idea. I would like to invite the Canadian government to go to the Texas border or Southern California border and help the migrants there get to Ontario or Quebec or wherever they can place them. Airplanes, Trains, Buses, Cruise Ships whatever they can do to quickly move migrants to Canada. ???❤️?Then do some incentive programs to encourage migrants to move out of Chicago, New York, and California and move to Canada.

First minute of the video : Quebec is racist... It was obvious this was coming... English canadian media is at 80% anti french propaganda machine that leads the majority of the canadian population to hate it's biggest minority, including immigrants... yes, this is a form of racism. So fed up of seeing immigrants from parts of the world that have way worst problems of racism criticizing Québec. Quebec consistently has lower than Canadian average reported hate crimes in proportions.

Lol first place is Quebec? Are you on crack? ?

As a quebecer i did not expect the crime raté to be the lowest in Canada…

Well glad to be in quebec ;)

Quebec should be last… taxes are the worst

Quebec is behind on everything…

Quebec is the best? Pooooooooohahaha

Canada is graduating more doctors now than ever before. The problem is that the good ones leave for better salary and opportunities. What we're left with are the crappy doctors who could not land a job in the private sector if their lives depended on it. Hence the results of our present system. The thing I don't understand is that you have citizens who have been living here for generations, fought and died in wars to protect our prosperity, paid taxes, etc but yet an immigrant will get a GP before them. Something is wrong with that! Nothing against immigrants btw, it's not their fault. But on an ethical level this should not be occurring. Here in Quebec you will also be discriminated against when seeking healthcare if you are not white and French speaking. So don't come here if you don't fall under that demographic. You will be poorly treated.

Quebec is only the best if you're from Quebec. The VAST majority of the country looks at them like a mosquito.

lmao Quebec #1. No way this guy is Canadian. Even half of Quebec hates Quebec.

hahaha nice vid! but as a canadian, that has traveled all of our country, quebec is good but not that good to be first. quebec has trafique, rents are crazy expensive, life costs alot, i lived there xD. manitoba is amazing too rents are good winnipeg is alr, but the best part of manitoba is the rural comunities! and the amazing feilds! of wheat,corn and canola! Winter is harsh but good looking, and summer too! the feilds are astonishing!

Quebec is so highly subsidized by Alberta take that into account in your rankings in 2022.

My brother in Christ, you actually want to live in Quebec?

Ya right. Quebec only has a high standard of living because of the transfer payments from Alberta. Why is everyone moving to Alberta if the economy is unstable? Any fool that believes oil and gas are going away should stop breathing

Crime in AB thanks to Federal government, Quebec hahaha most discriminative people in Canada

Yup that’s the real quebec

This is disinfo and propaganda. The Quebec law was about protecting their own language and culture from extinction. Why these foreigners are spreading BS I don't know, or care. But you aren't being served believing them.

Quebec? Is this joker serious?

I've lived in Quebec my whole life, it should be down there with Manitoba, dont let this guy fool you.

This guy is an idiot don’t watch this , unless you wanna waste 15 mins of your life time ….. Quebec got the most crowded schools , worst hospital and highest tax in the country how can it be number 1

Quebec , Because Alberta Is Paying For It .

You can tell this man isn’t Canadian when he puts Alberta and Quebec at 2 and 1

Let's go Quebec

I lived in Ontario for more than half my life, and making fun of Quebec was a cornerstone of life. If you take away montreal which is a huge outlier from the rest of the province you end up with mostly xenophobic hillbillies, lower wages, dilapidated infrastructure that becomes immediately apparent the second you cross the border, highest income tax in the country offsetting their modest property taxes, and some of the most ridiculous provincial laws ever written to preserve their French culture. My previous employer literally could not sell their medical service software in Quebec because it was not practical for them to comply with localization laws even though French language was fully supported. I personally rank rural Quebec as the worst place to live in Canada because it's one of the only places in the world that prevents businesses from operating there over bullshit like font sizes on packaging or other graphics.

Quebec is wonderful, because the Federal government taxes the successful provinces and transfers the money to Quebec, Alberta has paid more money to support Quebec's standard of living than Quebec has. As have BC and Ontario. Sorry, but as a Province, Quebec is the unreliable brother in law nobody likes.

You're not correct about the Quebec government banning the hijab - actually they ban all forms of religious expression in clothes worn at work by public servants - so don't criticize us unless you get the facts straight. All countries are facing public health crisis especially in the aftermath of a global pandemic, you mention how long it could take to get an MRI - weeks/months, but it's no worse than in the UK, or other western countries. I do agree with you about limited competition in banking and tech - but we're still a young and growing country, however, look at the global recession that took place in 2007 - Canada was least affected by mortgage default, the US was hit the worst and hundreds of thousands had their homes foreclosed by the Banks, yet in Canada because of our strict banking policies we were saved and the Banks worked with defaulters to try to keep their homes. Taxes, well most countries require you to file your own taxes at the end of the year - what's so strange about that? Yes sales tax is added onto the sales price depending on what province and what you are purchasing, same as US, just because it's not the same in Europe doesn't mean it's worse! Listen, when you're a newcomer to any country you need to fit in when looking for a job, put in the effort, take the time, do the work, any country is going to expect you to be able to speak the language and know the lingo, so I don't agree with your analysis that Canadians are risk adverse! You are 100% correct about the housing crisis, listen it's been going on everywhere for decades, and international investors in the past 10 years or so woke up and noticed that Canada was a great bet for investment, so the problem got really bad. The government just passed a 2 year moratorium on non Canadians buying real estate - as have many other countries, so fingers crossed no more new foreign landlords just regular Canadians buying their first homes, let's hope so!! I've lived many years in Europe - and I loved it! But the quality of life in Canada is better. If you don't live in the crowded city you can have a nice property with lots of space, good roads, not bad school system, very friendly and helpful people. Quebec has some of the best food on the North American continent, we have clean air and lots of water in Canada - I'm very happy here, so don't be so negative please!

Is Quebec still Canadian?

I randomly looked at videos from downtown Manchester and Concord in New Hampshire - Philadelphia - Detroit - Chicago - New York - Baltimore - Denver - Atlanta - Nashville, and Knoxville in the United States, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and London in the UK, Paris, Marseille, Lyon, and Toulouse in France, Frankfurt, and Hamburg in Germany, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane in Australia, Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka in Japan, Busan, Seoul, and Incheon in South Korea, Toronto - Quebec - Montreal - Winnipeg - Calgary - Vancouver - Victoria - Ottawa and Thunder Bay in Canada. we should be fair. The bitter truth must be accepted. Without any exaggeration. Completely impartial. I have to say that I didn't see a single piece of garbage in any of the other country's videos to convince myself. Without exaggeration, in all Canadian cities, you will find a piece of trash or garbage on the ground less than every hundred meters. It must have an important reason. I do not know. But this is a bitter truth. You can try. This country should be brought closer to its exaggerated claim. Certainly, some Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and even Malaysia are much cleaner compared to Canada. Of course, we should not forget that Canada claims to be one of the 10 cleanest countries in the world. And cities like Vancouver and Toronto claim to be one of the 5 cleanest cities in the world. I am 50 years old and from a country in the 3rd world in the Middle East called Iran (with the most dictatorial regime in the world) and have traveled to 26 countries. Canada is far from its claims. At this time I live in Saint-Sauveur with my family. I work 5 hours a week as a volunteer person to clean the sides of roads, streets, national parks, and public places in the city. I lived in Vancouver for 4 years, this city is a disaster. when you drive or walk on East Hastings, Victoria Drive, Commercial Drive, West Georgia, Broadway, Main Street, Granville, and most places downtown, you never believe this city is in Canada. they're worst than some places in Africa or the 3rd world countries in Asia. I love this country and try my best to help. I came for peace. I thought Canada is a developed and first-world country like European countries, the US, Japan, South Korea, Australia, News Land, and Singapore with the western standard, and also I thought is one of the best. The first time 2018 I arrived in Vancouver, I was shocked. I saw a lot of homelessness, trash, crime, ugly urbanism, and rusty houses in downtown and east Vancouver. I saw, homeless people, pooping and peeing everywhere and it's so common. nobody cares. I was shocked again. I endured for 3 years but every day going worst. late in 2022I decided to move to the east coast because I thought that place has a stronger culture. I chose Montreal. I had heard it is the capital of art and civilization in Canada. it was absolutely wrong. Canada is Canada. I was shocked again, again, and again. the wave of homelessness, graffiti, vandalism, bad smell, terrible infrastructure especially roads in or out of the city, and above all, you can see trash everywhere. plastic bags, tissues, water bottles, and disposable cups. You cannot see any street or park or public place without these. This is impossible. surprisingly nobody cares. neither the people nor the government!!!!!!! please, don't be fooled by the advertisement about a good Canada. please, be careful. most of the things about a good Canada are deception.

QUEBEC FOR THE WIN NIGGAS ?????? I swear you’re missing out folks , alberta and qc are canada’s sweet spots , And BC would basically be heaven if it weren’t for the over priced cost of food , land , houses , etc

Quebec isn't #1 when it literally relies on equalization payouts to even exist. Alberta pays for Quebec to survive.

quebec is hell stay away

Canada is the paradise, it’s big, it’s empty and it’s fun. I’m from Quebec.

No way you said Quebec was better the Ontario i am pissed

She had to drop a sac of sh.t on Quebec.

Quebec is #1 minus 10 for Corruption a.k.a Red Tape a.k.a Bureaucracy, which makes it the worst province in Canada (quick search equalization payments if you don't believe me, 13 B and growing)!\nOntario #1, Alberta #2, British Columbia #3.\nAgain, Quebec #10.

im from quebec, and im flatterd cause everybody says quebec sucks

Quebec is the parasite that the rest of Canada maintains

Quebec beats Alberta? Nah!

Ive seen a few of those sights in BC in person\nVideos dont do it justice\nThe canadian rockies are the best place on earth\nAlso according to real canadians you're wrong an quebec, shit belongs at the bottom and alberta belongs at the top

Quebec didn't only take their language from France, but their commitment to racism. I guess if you're white that won't be an issue

On se sent chez soi au Quebec, ailleurs, dans ce pays, on se sent a peine tolere. Je me sens plus a l,aise aux Etats-Unisque que dans les 9 autres provinces canadiennes. Je tiens a souligner ici, que parle couramment anglais. Ce n,est donc pas une question de langue.
