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!!!!!!!!

Quebec is #1 because of all the handouts from the rest of the country. Alberta has paid for Quebec as long as I can remember and all they do is shit on the west. I was born in Montreal and the whole place is toxic as fuck unless you are French first and English second. They take your money and spit in your face at the same time. Seen it, lived it and will never go back.

In this time all west occidental country don’t love immigrants anymore it about race becareful facism is on the rise in all white countries. If you come to Quebec avoide a city county side in a area such has 640 highway go to Blainville or Boisbriand or Montréal and go to Quebec City those area are covert racist avoide deux montagne and Rosemère to st Joseph sur le lac , st Thérèse and st Marthe n point calumet and oka you will loose\nYour\nInvestirent in estate avoide it please we did the mistake do t go I. Those area but only Blainville and Boisbriand , Laval, Montréal\n…..

When it was happening in India, west was giving lectures to us, now france awakened , Canada gone??

I''m a natural born citizen of Can'tada of Scottish & French ancestry. Recently I made the mistake of trying life in the drug-riddled West Coast of this country. Talk about a downer. \nFwiw, diversity & inclusion are the ruination of many places. Immigrants, you can live better elsewhere w/o the expensive headaches of Can'tada. My life abroad in Red China was more comfortable till the pandemic forced me back.

I’d love to visit Atlantic Canada: all my friends here on the West Coast say it’s very nice. \nI loved living in Quebec and Montreal, but both cities are very cold in winter—and I don’t speak no french too good, hoste! \nI’m from Ontario. it probably was a beautiful place until white people got there. But it’s way too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Most of my family has moved out to the West Coast. I guess they missed me.\nManitoba is very nice, but you’re right about cold winters and lots of mosquitoes in summer. Winnipeg is a fantastic city. The biggest city on the North American Plains.\nSouthwest Saskatchewan is absolutely beautiful. Nuff said.\nAlberta is one of my favourite provinces—just too bad about the goofy government they got there. I lived and worked there lots over the years. Many Albertans have moved out here to the West Coast to get away from the horrid politics there.\nBC is by far the best place to live. I live in the steep rain shadow of East Vancouver Island, nice and warm, short if any winter. All my friends live here. I used to live in Victoria—we might move back there—it’s my favourite city anywhere. Vancouver is a blast—but too big for me. I wouldn’t live anywhere else in this country but BC. \nFriends tell me Yukon is great but NWT’s Yellowknife is a hell-hole. I read a great online zine from Nunavut—Nunatsiaq. As close as I’m ever gonna get.\nSo you’re ranking is not very good from my perspective. Alberta sucks because of its dependence on bitumen—and it’s not “cyclical”, it’s doomed. Tons of crazy anti-vaxxers and religious right wingers, too. Quebec is wonderful, but too, too cold in winter. Plus muh french ain’t too good, eh...

West coast gal here! Vancouver Island hard to beat!

Sorry, but you couldn’t pay me enough to live in Alberta. While the mountains bordering the west are great, it’s basically the Texas of Canada, which means the least tolerant and most unwilling to change. Plus, Calgary is possibly the most soulless and empty major city I’ve been to in Canada, while Edmonton is just too damn cold.

Ontario is the best place in my opinion. East coast and Quebec are nice for visiting. West coast is amazing but way too much rain days.

Life is excellent in Toronto and southern Ontario so I'm not going anywhere. If I were forced to move, I'd pick Ottawa or Kingston (both also in Ontario, of course). Out of province, my first choice would be Halifax for sure (all of Nova Scotia is pretty special) and probably St. John or Charlottetown next. On the west coast, Victoria just edges out Vancouver in my books. A little surprised that Quebec is first in your ranking but I do love visiting there. Alberta is gorgeous but culturally it's vibe is more American than Canadian. Anyone else find that?

I love how you said that the schools in Newfoundland and Labrador are good… the teachers are okay, but there are a LOT of drugs and shit passed around in schools around here. It’s honestly awful. But the picturesque part is true, along with the shitty weather. And downtown St John’s is pretty nice, although it’s filled with skeets (basically people that act like gangsters, that smoke weed, vape, etc etc. It’s only really bad on the west end of St John’s and Mount Pearl though, so you should be fine if you avoid those parts). As much shit as I may have talked here, I still love living here, and it’s certainly better than Manitoba\n\nPS: we newfies have a really wacky accent, that can be kind of hard to understand especially if we’re talking fast. Imagine Scottish, British and a Boston accent mashed together, but people speak 50x faster. So that may take awhile to get used to

Im canadian and that stereotype that all of canada is freezing cold is really not accurate. on the west coast we can expect a few days of snow then it melts quickly. on non snow days the climate is typically mild, around 15-20 celsius. while it wouldnt hurt to wear a jacket its definitely not freezing in every corner here. that stereotype would fit the east coast of both countries, definitely not all of canada

My own family immigrated here from South Africa 40 years ago. They say the people here are dour, and unfriendly. Ironically over the years they have become the same. The country changes you, and each province seems to have it's own culture. Currently in my province there is a large influx of Indian students and Syrian refugees. Many students I've spoken to complained about the racism, poor weather and lack of things to do in my city specifically. Myself, I feel foreign now in a city I grew up in and am hoping to move out west, but maybe further south to be with my american boyfriend. I wonder what it's like immigrating to the States lol!

It’s too bad you didn’t have a great experience in Canada. It’s a beautiful country to live and work in. Study, get a good job and work hard and you’ll get good benefits. Medical system is worth every penny and more. Weather varies greatly. West Coast is the best. Yes, it does rain. But everything is green. But with climate change, it is quickly changing. \n\nSo if you’re willing to put in the effort and patience. All good things will come in time. Even if the taxes kill you.

We will remember this......\nAnd when the time comes, The west will repay for what they did and are doing to my motherland .... Just wait for the right time to come..\n????????

Hello Canada is from Jordan and my dream is to settle in Canada, God willing I saw your comments denying the Islamic religion and insulting it. I hope that you respect a true religion and our belief is correct. Why do the West insult the Islamic religion and Muslims in general all over the Muslim world, Canada and live in it? It falls in the countryside and life is easy and can really be beautiful, but I hope that we respect each other, we are brothers in the end We wish well for everyone, whether Muslim or Muslim. I do not know why you attack Islam and Muslims. Our religion is not permissible for us, and you have a religion \n\n# No to sectarian \n#\n No to Racism

Hey girls, Canada is Huge country, and Toronto is not the only city in Ontario, Thinking of driving out west? spend 2 1/2 days driving through Ontario from Toronto and another 2 hours to Winnipeg.

God help britain.. Coz one day we will obliterate it..

I lived in bloor west village my whole life never saw this episode filming

Homogeneous societies are the way, let's face it, yes we are all humans who bleed red. However we come from different parts of the world which have different views, creeds and cultures, values morals, the problem with the west is we let every one in because we are tolerant, tolerant to people who are not tolerant of our ways. It's better in england, Canada Australia new Zealand europe that's why they flock here from their fucked up ways, yet they cant even intellectually interact in our ways of life, go home if you dont like it

Ashir sb Let me remind you, Aap AC customs thay! You were a part of that system jis ka Aap wahan beth kar rona ro rahay hain.

Stop brain drain agenda.. we do not want our talented youth to move to west and live second citizen lives there.. shut the fck up please

It's so funny for international media, Canada - Toronto .. there is so much more to Canada then just Toronto ! .. Ohh yeah you will say Montreal but still Toronto and Montreal is only 10% Canada ... If you want to see real beautiful Canada go west to places like Vancouver, Banff Calgary,. Whistler .. beautiful serene mountains and wilderness or even far east to the Maritimes .. Toronto is nothing but a flat concrete jungle !!!!

you are wrong because you are not muslim Islamic fobia is big problam in all over west and North America

Just like lenin teacher couldn't understand what is life Rizvi saab dont know what discrimination is.... i live on west and people avoided me for being Muslim...

Instead of correcting things in ur own country u r blabbering about others achievement. How west violated and manipulated east to pile up such wealth is a question u need to find answers. One day our country will prosper and even if it doesn’t we sink in our own waters.

It's a terrible incident! But an isolated one! Maybe they had some enmity! Maybe not! A lot of psychos in the West but more in USA! Never heard of Canada! Canada has much less crime! But Ashir still their system is very good!

The west wants to impose secularism,democracy and gay rights to the muslim countries,now the west is getting shariah instead ??

I am a tailor, from West Bengal\n Right now I am work in Kerala (last8 yers)

The anti-Asian hate in the West is all China's fault. Not all Asians are Chinese btw.

Local Brampton Mayors and Ontario gov never tried to put/invite some universities, hospitals and white collar jobs in Brampton, due to that Brampton became mostly bedroom community and all mix people started leaving city by seeing huge influx of South Asian population. Most people in Brampton are either truck driver, construction worker or labourer working in warehouse, while North-West part of Brampton is mostly young IT people working in Downtown or Mississuaga. I personally don’t know a single person who works in Brampton. But, still every Indian wants to live in Brampton just because of food & brown community. Now Brampton will become more brown and brown every year, just because there is no reason for other community to come and live in Brampton, no white collar jobs, not many hospitals or colleges or universty which can bring mix crowd. Brampton will be 100% south asian in next 10 years as most 50%+ new immigrants to Canada are from South Asia and every year 450000 new immigrants comes to Canada!

Why, oh why, do so many Asians worship the west. They must be learning now how hated they are by many people living in western countries, white and black people.

China warned the world about Covid. It did NOT originate from China! Plenty of evidence, but the West chose to ignore the evidence.

unfortunately Indians are not going anywhere, they are dominating every major city of Canada and the west economically and politically.

What do you think about University Canada West?

I grew up in West Vancouver, however, my family is American, it was because of my father's job that we lived in Canada. Now I'm in college in the USA hoping to move back to Canada when I am older.

Muslims in West are not only Islam, but other cultures and thinking,which Europe does not deserve, who are being demonized by Zio-Goebbels like propaganda.

Can you give me a review of university Canada west? Its in downtown Vancouver

Anyone who's visited China can see that Canada is huge and empty. Illegal immigration paranoia is not what we need right now, as climate change is going to lead to a billion refugees. The west needs to make plans for absorbing many many more people than we have in the past.

What are these conservative Muslims do in the West? They should all be sent to saudi arabia and pakistan and exercise their religion the way they want.

Islam doesn't fit in the west

Half of the people in the comments want to move to Canada. One small tip if you are ok with losing your deen if some how you were able to save your self then losing your kids and live in a ice box alone in the old age with strangers who will treat you like garbage then Canada is the place to be everybody welcome . Dont come back and tell me I am exaggerating been living in the west for last 23 years know this society inside out and what Pakistani are going through day in and day out .

we indian often keep warning the west about these muslims , but you never listen ..........we have a lot of them , maybe india will not survive some more centuries but you can save your country , i'm telling you or it's gonna be too late though this news is 7 year old but i'm still stunned how can this happen in an open society of west

Where are the West Indian men when they are needed to cut his backside?

Hey Muslim here and I do not agree with this what's so ever, If you are a muslim living in the west its not you job to change their society! You wanna teach islam to people you do it on their free will. You wanna live by muslims rules you go live in a muslim majority ruled country. All you're doing is pushing the narrative forcefully which is against EVERYTHING islam stands for, for there is no compulsion in religion. Lived in Canada my whole life and muslims here don't push anything onto our communities and neighobors its pretty simple you wouldn't want anything forcing you so why do it back!

It is their planned strategy to flee to west,,,victim acting,marry a Christian girl ...once 20 percent....now they want Islaam in the whole country....Canada is so beautiful now...Canada save yourself

Islam will conquer the west, it is inevitable.

China is on its way of becoming the next world power. No doubt they ll succeed due to the stupidity of the west

I remember when The Sun’s front Page back around 84 they said there was a problem with Racism in the Universities. As well I remember in Delhi Ontario RCMP years back had to do a sting operation dressed up as black migrant workers to catch the group that were beating up the migrant workers out of sport. I myself here in SouthWestern Ontario been followed by Police before I know was racially based by some ignorant police in the past as well. I never done drugs, Strong Christian, Law abiding. Seen it first hand back in the 90’s and 2000. Glad I lived out in the West Coast Growing up. I could say more and what I heard from others. Racism is everywhere.
