Muslim patrol. Lol. ? What a bunch of ???. They sound like some edgy young teens. ????

So basically if Alberta wasn't fully subsidizing Quebec through provincial transfer payments. Alberta would be #1 and Quebec would rank #11 behind the territories! Sounds like a typical modern relationship.

Hum frankly, it sounds like PRC so much cause everything you went through multiplied at least ten times here in China, and this might seems like a beautiful place for visitors where it’s just not the place for citizens

Though I am an Indian I can understand the frustration of racist people like this woman..Though it sounds very ugly and is not acceptable behaviour, however immigrants from any country mines included must understand that they can't escape the problems of their nation and find an el Dorado or solace in rich and advanced countries..While I don't mean to be racist but the ecosystem in the western world, which attracts people from other nations especially the third world has been created mainly by white euopean settlers.. Naturally if immigrants from other nations try to escape the problems in their country instead of trying to sort it out, they should not expect hospitality as aliens from people of another culture and race...Also unfortunately with economies of USA, West Europe on the decline the resentment against immigrants, especially would increase by the day...

You almost sound like you're talking about America, only worse in certain aspects.

The voice sounds likes Trudeau

Why does this feel older than 2016? The music and speech patterns sound like 2006-2010

canada high standard of living .need to work and work o.m.g if your lazy u become homeless .canada sounds like music to the ear only.

Oh man, this all sounds very worrisome...\n\nI've been working together remotely with one of Sony Pictures Imageworks's supervisors and she's been super happy with me and my work. She's switching companies soon since she found an even better opportunity elsewhere and is already making steps getting me on the team. She starts the hiring process in August.\n\nShe said I should fix a holiday visa and that if the company is still happy with me after 12 months they would most likely sponsor my stay. So yeah, everything seemed pretty solid!\n\nBut now that I'm watching this video I'm getting scared that I might be missing something that wouldn't allow me to work there. Could anyone perhaps share there view on my situation?\n\nBy the way, not sure if this is handy to know but I would be moving to Vancouver. \n\nMuch appreciated, thanks!!

Quebec...get right. I was born in that hell-hole and as an English kid growing up in the highly separatist east end of Montreal my childhood was miserable. The french are so bent on having their own little country they treated anglos like dirt. Try driving east towards New Brunswick and stopping anywhere to get food or whatever, you better parlez the francais or you'll be looked at like you a criminal. How dare you speak the hinglich au Quebec. Best province my ass. They don't even consider themselves a part of Canada. Take the once named St. Jean Baptiste holiday on June 24th, it's now la fete nationale. Sure sounds Canadian right! You got your list upside down, this video is garbage.

Says the hypocrite who spent millions of taxpayer dollars to renovate his home/cottage...sounding more and more like the African govermrntd

Sounds like America but better

At the professional career level, it sounds like Canada is a bureaucratic nirvana for job seekers when hearing you mention having to supply a bunch of perfunctory references, not to mention the required continuing education.

I don't think Trudeau even answered the question. Sounds like he came up with a punch of excuses.

Sounds like all these programs cost quite a lot in taxes….

Sounds like the life I would definitely enjoy,I get emotional drained being around people

Here I am thinking that sounds like the best place for me like I don't even know my next gate neighbour nor do I visit people's houses unless we're related. I find peace within myself ?

Sounds like Canada is a better place for low skilled workers. Foreigners, especially those who immigrate illegally, are protected, even from being spoken against. In the US, they are mocked and Americans tey to run them out. The US does make it easier for high skilled workers, as long as they enter legally.

It sounds like that CANADA sucks.

All of those home costs sound ridiculously high for a country with virtually limitless land and natural resources. And what about cultural issues? I'd probably like Alberta because it leans conservative, being Jordan Peterson's homeland and everything, but somebody else might like another province for weed and whores, or gay stuff, for example.

I almost moved there a long time ago.\nGlad I didn't.\nIt sounds like Neoliberal HELL!

sounds almost like a communist country with all that government bull and beruocracy. yuck. avoid. unless the government streamlines and lowers taxes that country will go down the drain. period.

Canada is a land with great resources, great opportunity and potential, but for a place with so much supposedly smart people they do alot of dumb things. Been here 7 years now and I have seen so many issues that have obvious solutions but because of some weird culture or heritage or whatever they just keep doing the same thing until it hurts them. The real estate market is an absolute MESS and everybody knows. Money laundering, realtors colluding to set prices, blind auctions etc you name it. But they are just gonna keep doing the same thing until the country is in a major recession. Then everybody is going to be crying for bailouts. The health system is a MESS. Trying to find a doctor is like finding a needle in a haystack. They have them driving taxis instead, claiming that their qualifications arent as good. Yet they dont have enough doctors or nurses to support anything. Coworkers whose spouses work in those industries let me know they have to be working ridiculous shifts because there are not enough people. The taxes are ridiculous. I work in I.T. and taxes are like roughly half my salary. Many coworkers have told me all the illegal stuff they do to get around the taxes. Which I don't do because I wasn't raised like that. But people get taxed so much everyone is doing some thing to try to bypass it. And if you dont know the tricks or dont want to do them, you just get screwed. People don't talk about real issues here. There is alot of fake positivity and optimism because they dont want people to get sad and suicidal from the really long and harsh winter. I used to wonder why there were so many train delays until some one explained to me that many people commit suicides in winter by stepping in front of the trains. The only thing propping up this country is the constant influx of immigrant slave labour through the college system, (Like a ponzi scheme). But the immigrants are going to stop coming here if they cant even afford to live at all. Even the regular citizens cant afford it. So what will the country do after that, since there is an elderly population and not enough people to support the industries? Right now most of the immigrants come here and save up there money to go somewhere else or back home after they realize what a shitshow it is. I even have coworkers born and raised in Canada who are telling me they want to leave. Canada needs to stop patting itself on the back for doing stupid apologies and stuff like that, and actually do economically sound things to stop digging themselves into this hole. Great potential for this country but I don't know if it will ever be realized.

LOL that Canadian accent sounds like Ryan Reynolds, which means good job I guess?

Just awesome! My English friend spent a year in Newfoundland and on his return he sounded like Ian Paisley.

Ohmygoddd the camera crew sounds like Karen gang lol

That immigration officer sounds almost exactly like Prof. Jordan Peterson. ...you should do a sketch of him. He rambles so well as his mind works through the logic (or lack thereof) of a matter.

That was hilarious! Thanks, boys. I’m impressed by your research. Only one amusing/ironic note: your accents weren’t strong enough to be mistaken for Newfoundlanders. Due to the isolated nature of the communities, there are a lot of Irish dialects heard there that have remained unchanged since the 1700s. A lot of Newfoundlanders (outside the city of St. John’s), sound like they’re Kerrymen: they speak very quickly and can be hard to understand.

Great work lads! Couple things right quick: it's pronounced poo-TEEN, also NEW-f'n-land. ? Otherwise good job with the phonology - based on the people I've known from thereabouts, Arms sounds to me like he might be a middle-aged techie from rural Ontario, which makes perfect sense here?

Did you have to look up Canadian celebrities who are mistaken to be Americans or did you just know these?\n\nPoutine sounded like Putin to me! ?

He sounds familiar like to have a YouTubers that haven’t recorded a YouTube channel in for a long time

Not sure where you got your info On Quebec but, housing in Montreal is unaffordable right now with the average rent for a three and a half apt is going for 1000.00 a month. If you can even find one. There are hundreds of families being put up in hotels by the city because they can't afford the rents or no appt available because of the greedy condo developers are turning everything into useless unaffordable condo's The houses are way out of reach for most young couples because the salaries here haven't been following the cost of living. We are the highest taxed province in all of Canada. They would slap a tax on air if they could. Yes Quebec is by far the most historical and beautiful province, but the language war and the divide that this has caused doesn't make it a friendly place. And let's not even touch the healthcare system. But after watching this , Nova scotia sounds like an amazing place to live. Food for thought.

That breaks my heart, the accents have such rhythmic sounds when they speak. I like to mimic accents because they are beautiful to me.

Hey you sound like that dude from the channel of Iron mango

So, you are affirming that your government lives off the sweat of each employee, the government devalues the academic studies of other countries, the climate is very bad, many people are not friendly, and also you forgot to mention the shortage of houses in the country. . Wow! I think Europe and South America sound like better options to live.

Love Canada!!! Love the video!! hate your hyped up voice and accent. You sound like a Southern California girl, please work on it. Quebec is great, but BC reigns.

You sound like mango tango are you and if u are when are u making videos again

you sound a lot like my childhood favorite youtuber mango tango ? miss that dude

Thanks for making this video. After nearly 13 years as of Jan 1st 2022, I'll be leaving Canada on a one-way ticket; not to my country of origin, but further into new ventures.\n\nIt's been a slog to become a citizen and try and make life work here. It's a good place to be successful financially if you make sound choices, and then to live a fairly quiet, isolated life. If all you want is to live within your own ethnic community and have a better quality of life, it's a good place.\n\nUnfortunately, it's never had enough culture or meaning for me. Life feels pretty empty no matter how much money you make. The national identity being based around home-ownership feels extremely depressing to me.\n\nAnd you're both on point about the reserved, passive-aggressive nature of Canadians. I've become like that too now. It's pretty obvious that it costs us dearly; people are unable to be genuinely warm, to take risks and form real friendships. Everything feels surface-level because no one risks taking the steps that might even be a bit of intrusion into each other's lives that is the signal of the start of a close friendship. I'm sick of the surface relationships I've had here.\n\nAnd the wholesale import of U.S. narratives with complete ignorance of our own realities. Most Canadians think they live in the U.S. and seem unable to name a single important issue in their own province or country. I truly came to see the Canadians as a colonized people who refuse to truly admit that they are colonized behind a thin veneer of insecurity posing as a virtue-superiority complex.\n\nI sound harsh but it's the outpouring of someone who's fallen in and out of love with his country.\n\nI don't know what I will find on the other side, but it's going to be different and I honestly can't wait.

Well sounds like the perfect country for me. I’m a bit like a hermit myself and hate the company of others. I like the outdoors and don’t mind doing semi skilled or farm work if it makes me happy. I pretty much don’t care about engineering or corporate work. Now the most challenging thing will be to actually apply for pr or work permit because I’m very lazy to do paperwork ?

I was reading the comments and for me sounds like that those people are talking about another country. I am Brazilian, I would like that you guys have a chance to living here, haha, it´s so expensive, a lot of fo taxes, racism, corrupt politicians all the time. I have a friend living in Montreal and for her, it´s like a dream.

istg I lost it when she mocked his accent, like maam u ok? he doesn't even sound like that-

This whole “micro aggression” nonsense is what completely makes people not take racism seriously and as a real issue. I for one am not saying I’m one of those people but I’m just making an observation. Because along with real problems of people literally hating a certain group and thinking they’re above them just because their skin is a different color than them, we lump somebody touching your hair?? Sounds more like she just wasn’t comfortable with somebody doing that, and most people would probably say that they’d be uncomfortable with something like that, regardless of their ethnicity. I hate when racism gets thrown around because people are insecure and think everything bad or unwarranted that happens to them from a white person is rooted in racism. It’s seems like “it’s racism cuz I decided it was”. Some people are just assholes, or weirdos, and need to be put in their place and labeling EVERYTHING as racism really causes a lot of people to not take things seriously when it IS present.

Sounds more like ,he was ready to cry

He sounds like terminator became racist.

He sounds very strung out, like he was high on drugs

Sounds like prehistoric talks

This entire report is anti-islam.. she's making it sound like she's listening to them but all she really did is place all the labels everyone else has placed and then again questioned these women's decisions. y'all are so paradoxical

He sounds like he’s on drugs.

The background music in the beginning sounds like Twinkle Twinkle Little Little ?
