Weather can be better in US places when it is winter in Canada. Generally Americans are nice people. Because warmer, they have bigger bugs. Ugg. Wouldnt send my kids to a school in the USA. Kind of nervous cuz so many people carry guns in USA. That freaks me out. I like being able to walk into ANY dr office or hospital in ANY place in Canada. Despite the good weather, too many down sides to the states.

Sure us Canadians should consider a safe small town to keep our kids safe in school. Do you suggest Uvalde?

Studies have shown that 4% of American kids die before 18. As a queer person, I’m gonna have to be hella desperate to move there.\n\nAlso, I’ve got a Norwegian citizenship, so if all goes to hell in Canada I can just go there.

Québécoise here. We Canadians seem to forget that there is as much racism in Canada as in the US. We just like to hide it behind a smile for some reason… I’ve lived in northern Michigan for 4years when I was in high school and college. I preferred the kids in the US over the kids in Switzerland by a lot! But I admit that shooting exercises in school were very weird. A lot of kids were dying in car crashes too… \nAlso, as someone with French as first language, that was pretty horrible catching up. I attended summer class with a bunch of kindergarten, and the teacher told in front of the whole class how me and my siblings were so bad at English even though we were teens. Well I’m sorry I can only write a college level paper in French but not in English yet! Thanks for belittling us in front of toddlers when we’re trying very hard to catch up before actual classes start! I was thrown into English Senior classes during second semester and did pretty well thank you very much! Went onto creative writing in college. Someone told me they though I was mentally retarded until I told them French was my first language…

The fact that you could walk into a Burger King and get shot by some gun loving nut job is pretty high on my list of HOLY HELL FUCK NO WILL I MOVE TO THE USA. I mean come on... daily school shootings? Who cares if your kid gets blown away... as long as you get to worship your 2nd Amendment, right? Get your shit in order before even THINKING about having people move there.

Kids gonna learn the same behaviour. ?

Good podcast .. ?\nI need an honest suggestion from you guys.. (some positive things are ..)\nI came here on PR with my immediate family and now we are Australian Citizens...(but not settled) ..\n I also have some good friends here and a good community interaction/activities.. but no family here ..\n\nAND ... my sister and my wife's brother family lives in Canada ?? (Toronto) .. my second sister also lives near Canada (means we can have a get-together on frequent basis , which is difficult if i stay here in Australia).. my cousin also lives there... Now my siblings are asking to move to Canada from Australia.. (I still can keep my Australian citizenship in that case)..\n\nBut we are reluctant/confused to move to Canada, mainly because of cold weather and for a new country challenge..\nBTW .. we have 2 kids under 10 years..

Thanks, Biden. Yet another spectacular failure! \n\nRigged elections have consequences, kids. \n\nPresident Trump 2024 ?? MAGA\n\nNo replies will be seen.

Ppl saying sh**tings and violence... nah its truly the rainbow agenda for most of us we are disgusted of what yall push onto kids. If it wasnt for the rainbow stuff and men being pregnant we probably would be indifferent toward the usa

Tyler, I love this channel but you’re sounding a bit naive with the “safe, small towns with nice people” argument. Columbine, Sandy Hook and Uvalde all happened in nice, small towns. Small towns are in no way immune to severe mental illness, and some of the most vicious racism is often most entrenched in small towns and espoused by nice smiling people. One of the scariest aspects of American gun violence — which over the last several years also happens to have been committed in my instances by dudes with white supremacist manifestos — is that there is absolutely no rhyme or reason as to where it will happen. I also know a LOT of American parents who are terrified of gun violence impacting their kids’ schools and they don’t all live in large urban centres.

The number 1 cause of death in children in Canada is accidents (e.g. car accidents).\nThe number 1 cause of death in children in the US is from firearms.\nThat is why many of the Canadian comments focused on kids, guns, and school.

Why am I not surprised that TYLER, a white American male, does not think the political-religious-racist fusion is THAT bad.\n\nNotice that he skips the impacts of the aforementioned political-religious-racist fusion by refusing to read the comment on abortion rights.... Again, not surprised that he has dipped out on the real issue (there are not kids being shot in schools every day, so Tyler feels that commenters might be exaggerating?)\n\nI am always surprised by how powerless individual Americans appear to be in the face of the highly politicized gun lobby. Tyler literally sayes there is nothing he can do about it. Home of the free, apparently.

Every year 19,000 children in the U.S are shot and killed. There are 365 days in a year, so kids are being shot every day.

Also like the fact that paki couple is pro life.. dont understand why most young couples in India prefer 0 or at most 1 kid

are you fucking kidding me.

A sikh has killed a man in vancouver just coz he was asked not vape in around kids. Be a roman when u r in rome.

Skipping the fetus position, shows you are a chicken to admit one of the the biggest faults of the USA. I do not take this video as seriously and you are kind of mocking us by not addressing the obvious. At least you are brave enough to talk about gun culture and killing kids in schools. You show me the small American towns that are BLUE and not RED. They are rare. Check out your last electoral map. Also we (our family of four) agree, we have decided to NEVER travel to the US for holidays again. Let alone ever live there. We would actually pick Jamaica or Fiji over any of your sunbelt states. O Canada!!!

While kids getting shot is not a daily occurrence, it’s very close to a weekly one.\n2022 there were 51 shootings that resulted in injury or death.\n100 injuries, 40 deaths.\nThat does not even include active shooter incidents where no one was injured.

Are you kidding me?\nhttps://youtu.be/LT3cERVRoQo

As a Brit who had the opportunity to move family to America 25 years ago, I'm so relieved I didn't take up the offer. Shite health care, school and mass shootings, kids wearing bullet proof backpacks, government interference in women's reproductive rights, government by religious approval, schoolboards dismissing science, NRA stranglehold of public safety - in short NOT A CHANCE. Oh, did I forget to mention the Supreme Court being totally political l, that's despicable.

As a Canadian. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how you read that line about that woman who didn't like her woman rights being actively stripped from herself and did NOT comment a word on that. And you completely jumped over the other comment saying she didn't want to be forced to gestate a foetus.\n\nWhat I think about that is Pro-life movement should shut the hell up, live and let live. If you want to rise like 8+ kids because you like unprotected sex with you other half and some of em require medical or special attention and you end up living for 1 of the flock rather than with your family, that is not a choice anyone should be able to force down anyone else's throat.\n\nIt's utterly disgusting then to have to face the judgement of people you love because an abortion had to be proceeded.\n\nToo many people are trying to enthrust their ideology onto other people's lives over which they shouldn't.\n\nAnd yea the gun culture where everyone has access to buy a gun from a normal store and its legal and then you litterally have the firepower to shoot the cashier in the face is nonsense to me. School shootings but also being shot by an afraid fella who carriedls a gun.\n\nI'd want to go get some vacations in the US but I wouldn't be safe for my 4 kids, not for a second.

Hello Chorkor help me I have my sister applying to Canada someone has promised her a multiple visor, kindly tell me if this is a good move,wants to move with her kids

Omg.. I am shocked at how shocked Tyler is about people's concerns about school shootings? . I listen to a lot of American radio and media and I hear frequently a lot of Americans talking about how this day and age how sad it is that they have to worry about their kids going to school. Tthe areas that this happens in or that parents are worrying has become more and more not just in certain States and I'm pretty sure I hear of like a mass shooting period in the United States is at least a couple times a month. \nThere's been so many school shootings I can't even keep up with all of them ..

As a Canadian……….not a chance in ……..! I don’t have to pay medical insurance. US laws on Women’s right being stripped away. Gun violence. Children are being trained on what to do in school if there’s a shooting. The stress level on kids must be high.

Hi beautiful ladies, you guys hit the nail right in the head. I have just subscribed to your Chanel as I came across it. Well done. I hope our people in Africa will see this and realize what we are going through here. One thing you missed is if you have a house and kids going to University you are screwed. You can never save money. All your money goes into the mortgage. The system here allow laziness for the lazy people. If you are average person you worked hard and some of your money goes to the lazy ones sitting at home. There are so many stuffs. ❤

With Schools and school shootings. My impression is that drills on what to do when there is a shooter is now a normal aspect of all schools in the US. This is how all kids are impacted by gun violence, it is robbing kids of their innocence way too early.

Umm, sorry no. I hope my kids don’t want to move there as adults…

As a parent, it is a discussion my family has fairly often. School violence impacts kids all over the country and indirectly everywhere. My kids have anxiety about school because of it. And small towns? Like Uvalde? Or Parkland, which was voted as the safest town in FL before they killed a bunch of school kids.

As a Canadian. Not a snowball's chance in hell. There is nowhere in the USA that Canada doesn't already have. Oh wait, we have FREE healthcare for starters. I don't need to worried about being shot walking down the street in a major city or having my 1st of 4th amendment rights violated by organizations like the ATF or screwball cops who have no clue what the Constitutionally protected rights of your own citizens are (and coming from a Canadian, that alone speaks volumes).\n\nAlso, if your schools need metal detector checkpoints to enter the school, then why would any sane person send their kids to a place where they have to be searched to obtain their education safely?\n\nThe US gun culture makes what should be safe places, completely unsafe to begin with because you never know when that shy easy going person will snap and start shooting people. \n\n\nNope.

The American government is very powerful. A lot of Americans are afraid/wary of their government. As a Canadian, I am not afraid of my government. It isn't that powerful. That in itself makes me feel free. I lived in the states for a year or so when I was a kid. I went to school down there for a year. In that year I saw the patriotic indoctrination that happens at a very early age. Looking back on it as an adult I realized that it was just brainwashing. That is how the American government so easily controls such a large portion of the American people.

That passangers mite be causing the prb for his kid and everyone around

And you were saying about the school shootings I think you guys are so use to guns and school shootings you don’t react like we do in Canada where hardly any weapons are legal so therefore not as much school shootings. Kids shouldn’t be afraid to go to school

Those people who have kids should not ust be afraid of violence and school shooting. They should also be concerned with the policing of the educational curriculum by religious fanatics as well as the poorer quality of education.

Would you let your kids walk alone to school? If no, is that perhaps because it doesn't feel safe? Do they have lockdown drills at school? Isn't that an indication that violence is prevalent?

My God there should be A flying peace and order in the plane where ever destination is! People and getting unruly, act like a kid, behaviors are getting Repulsive. Will these be the cause of plane accident in the future, because the pilot may also be disrupt on his or her performance? Hopefully not. Unbelievable behaviors.

Money is the only reason to cross to the US, and frankly, you couldn't pay me enough. I would make somewhere between 3 and 4 times the pay if I moved my career to a US city. Not worth it. \n\n- It's a country where the number one cause of death for kids under 19 is mass shootings.\n- There is political and racial violence and threat of violence rampant everywhere\n- the USA has 60 times the number of active serial killers at any given time as the rest of the world COMBINED\n- Educational standards are abysmal in many states, particularly the red ones.\n- Hand in hand with that is a general air of ignorance that is impossible to ignore or live with\n- At least one third of the population is afflicted with a strong case of Dunning-Kruger effect, and elects only those most strongly afflicted...\n- People are still fighting for basic rights and still being vehemently opposed.\n- 35 million Americans have zero medical insurance, and another 80 million are under-insured, versus zero Canadians.\n- way more people possess guns than are mentally equipped to handle one.

He stated a couple of times that you need to be strategic in where you live in the US when speaking of gun violence. I could live anywhere in Canada and not worry about my kids. Also, what can you expect from a country that believes 1/3 pound is less than 1/4 pound. Don’t believe me? Ask A&W…they tried to sell Americans a 1/3 burger for the same price as McDonalds 1/4 burger and it flopped, Even though blind taste tests proved most people thought it was a better tasting burger. Maybe if you ( Americans) had adopted the metric system, you wouldn’t have that problem. America is on of only 3 countries in the world that still use the imperial system. The other 2 being Myanmar and Lydia.

Interesting how unaware he is of fears of sending children to school. Not sure if Tyler reads the comments but if he does he should spend a bit of time looking at the posts that happen on the american parenting reddit subs. Absolutely many american parents are scared for their kids. As a canadian I find those posts so sad to read. Respect for his open minded learning though.

Im from nova scotia, if it wasn't for family here my wife and kid would be gone down in a heart beat. \nWay better tax rates and actually services like some drivable roads, street lights and work. Good work, I've check job listings, so much work for anyone with an education education, education,

My kids have never had an active shooter drill in school. I can’t even fathom how that could become normal to anyone.

I understand you wanting to “stick up” for you country but Americans and guns are not something we understand, I consider the Americans love of guns mental illness, that is the reason we didn’t move, my husband had a job opportunity and he turned it down because of the kids and healthcare. “Would you want the kids going through metal detectors at school?” Your comments show your ignorance still after all these videos \nRidiculous

It's staggering to hear you say you're surprised that Canadians would worry about their kids' safety if they had to go to school in the US - have you not been paying attention?\n\nOf course it's not just school - there are mass shootings everywhere, currently averaging more than one per day in 2023. Does that really not register?

I don't live in the mountains, but I don't deny they are there. Small towns are safe you say.....until easily accessed guns are used to kill so many kids, like in Uvalde . So lets not include THAT small town then. As for the batshit crazy comment, are you kidding that you don't see it. The entire world sees it and comments on it. I have 6 kids, and not one cost me a cent when they were born. Don't get me wrong, I have been down through the usa many times, and met great people. Last year I was in Livingston Texas, at a gas station, and a guy beside me was carrying a handgun out in the open, filling his car while smoking.....I was not about to confront him, and just stopped getting gas and left. So ya...that's not normal in my world, or 95% of the civilized world. So, for the love of god, stop trying to convince the world that the US is the greatest country on earth. Every time I hear that I cringe. I love your channel Tyler, and I don't aim my comments at you personally. One of my boys I named Tyler. He is 30, so sorry he was not named after you.

Guns are the biggest killer of young people is the US it is not perception it's a fact that's why people are afraid for there kids.

When i was younger i wanted to move to california because of the warm weather. but now that i have 2 kids. i wouldn't move anywhere in the states. i would be to scared anywhere in the states to send my children to school. and woman's rights and no you cant just ignore it. these are very important reasons. and needing to be strategic on where you move is a terrible excuse for the country currently

We have lots of guns, but we regulate them and we can't legally carry them in public for the purpose of defending ourselves from humans, not only do my kids schools not need armed guards but there is no fence at all and the field is a public park.

In US 12 years old kids have gun an bring to school an more \nAm from quebec montreal I love canada ??

Once upon a time I would have moved to Arizona or Washington but with the political climate in the USA are you kidding I wouldn’t even come visit

Are you kidding me? During COVID a few people would have chosen that. Now, I don’t think many would.

I really enjoyed your video and comments plus learning more about the world around me. I would never move to the states because of the I would love to have my kids to feel safe and have a proper education that is open minded and aware of the world around them and not taught things that are not true.
