I’m Canadian and married to an American, and of the two countries we’ve lived in, we’ve decided to plant our roots and raise our kids in Canada. For a lot of the reasons you two hit on, and for some you didn’t. Education, opportunities, cleanliness, etc. I hated waking up in the morning and watching people dumpster diving next to my apartment and thinking, I can’t let my kids go out and play on the little 10x10 piece of grass in front of my parking lot. I felt like my financial situation was limited to minimum wage even though inflation and cost of living was skyrocketing. Americans think they’ve got the best of everything until they travel to other parts of the world.

The state of California has a higher population than the entire country of Canada. So yeah there will be more crime just based on the population.

Are you dealing in PNP Program Canada Immigration.

City v city Canada might be better but county living I will stick with American. And we can say what we want & own guns.

In general the cost of living is much higher in Canada than it is in the United States about 30% higher

Thanks for this! Its helping me plan my move to Canada.

If age is 49:can we apply for Canada pr

I hear Canada has a (swarm) of girls going around killing homeless people. yeah, no thanks.

Flight is so stupid in Canada. Paid 500$ for Montreal/New York. And I paid 30$ for Bordeaux/London, 20$ for Bordeaux/Malta. For people who like traveling a lot, Montreal is so restricting.

Cell phone plans in Canada are ridiculous

Quebec is completely different in rent prices, I wouldn’t believe that our cost of living in Canada is significantly better than the states.

And the floors are way squeaker in Canada

I've considered leaving the U.S. more this year than ever, even though I really do love it. With the inflation, politics, and lack of work life balance for anyone I don't think the place I grew up in will last. Tbh I've never considered Canada, the government overreach and propaganda there seem insane to me

It always makes me laugh when I see some Canadians acting like it's some oppressive communist regime with no opportunity up here. Out of all the places I travelled to, I'm glad that I live in Canada. We're livin' on easy mode compared to many other countries

I lived in the Philippines for 27 years and we always lock our houses even when we're inside the house coz people (junkies, psychopaths, crazies) just force themselves inside and try to mug us for our belongings and we can't even report it because some u police are crooked, lazy and corrupt. But once i migrated to winnipeg (considered as the murder capital of Canada), i felt safer, believe it or not. I tend to forget locking/closing my garage door and once i come back, everything's still there, nothing gone, considering that i live in the north end (one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in winnipeg). Plus, everyone's just so damn friendly and welcoming. Love it here! But i still prefer living in the Philippines despite being not as safe. Home will always be home.

i live in Anchorege alaska and its the Canada of the us, are water is 100% better than all the 49 states

Cost of living may be cheaper in Canada but don't you guys pay damn near 50% taxas? The U.S. is 25-30 depending on the state... so the more money you make the more sense it would make to live in the U.S. at least financially

As a person that moved from Arkansas to canada 6 years ago and has traveled the world I can confirm everything they said is factual especially what preach said bout them new york women

My friend told me Canada and its president are racist, I didn't believe and didn't do any research cause I didn't want to get into the topic

You had me at tap water ? Hi Canada ??

I mean one pro of being in Canada is if you are depressed they'll just offer you MAID. Can't get that here in the US. Even in OR where they have the assisted self oof-ing, I can't get it because of some weird reason like I don't have a terminal illness. Would have to move to Canada for 5 years to get MAID though. Fortunately, in the US, we have tons of pain meds and boom-boom sticks. Combination of those 2 should do it for me.

In 1986 I went to Toronto and was out to see a friend in an upper middle class neighborhood. Their dog got loose late one night and I was chasing it down the street…some cops rolled up and asked if I needed any help, and I said no. They left. Th at would not have happened in some white areas in Los Angeles then. They would have thrown the dog a Billy club and they all would have been beating in me! I almost moved to Canada right then!

Yo! Gave me a little flashback. I took an Air Canada plane to Boot Camp. Fuckin Prop plane from the 50's, like still got ashtrays. Plus a hole in the side of that bitch.\nAlso goes to show how broke the Marine Corps is when you're flying in America on a Canadian Airline. I don't know how they did it.

Canada actually has a higher economically mobility rating. It’s better to be poor in Canada than in America

I have family in Miami and that city is such a contradiction. Florida has one of the lowest per hour wages in America, yet Miami is one of their most expensive cities to live in. My sister works a salaried Florida State government job as a supervisor which would pay 6-figures in Canada, yet is only $40,000 there. That is considered a good wage there. Beyond the glitzy beaches, the poverty is nuts. But yes, America has us beat on flights! I can fly round trip to Miami, from Toronto, cheaper than to Montreal.

I’m surprised you all didn’t mention healthcare. It’s a lot cheaper in canada, however, it takes foreverrr to see someone there

While the cost of living is higher in the U.S., they do make more on average so I'm not sure I'd say Canada is significantly better in that regard. On that note though, it's probably better to be poor in Canada than in the U.S.

You can compare a “small” country like Canada despite the large inhabitable land mass to the BIG BIG UNITED STATES OF AMERICA… it’s disrespectful to us ??

Regarding flight prices, you'd be right if you were talking a few years ago but there are budget airlines in Canada now. You can fly Toronto to Edmonton round trip for under $200.

Sounds like life in major cities might indeed be better in Canada, and I wouldn't be surprised. I think major cities in the US blow. I like to avoid them when possible. \n\nI don't know if I agree on the food though. You can find spots pretty easy in most places, and I have been to some serious backwaters.

Can´t speak for Canada, but it´s pretty similar to a lot of places in Europe and America. I´ve lived in the states and currently live in Germany and I´m happier here for the same reasons mentioned. Food, public transportation, safety, water quality...

You guys let me know when Canada will let me travel with the new flamethrower attachment for my AK47. Though tbh I was considering getting an AR15 for it instead I just think the ascetic is nicer. With a nice double drum 100 round magazine.

I mean I can get that I guess and understand but Canada is not for me with all that stuff that's not here in the U.S.A. yet.\n\n\n\n\nIs all I'm sayin but the more I think about it long term I might change my mind.

I would love to see you two debate Crowder because he was born in Canada, moved to America, and thinks that Canada is f*cking awful.

To be honest, even coming from a native Alabamian, Canada has always been better than the United States, especially considering the difference in women.

The worst parts of Canada are the best parts of America. Toronto is getting bad but that's the closest you will get to New York and L.A. in Canada

You guys forgot an important thing...the WEATHER...we have everything from tropical to desert. Canada is like Minnesota, no thanks.

from detroit.. lived in atl for awhile.. now in colorado.. CANADA wins every time ?

Canada got the assisted suicide lol

BROAD STROKES. Been to Europe several times not to Canada yet but I feel like Canada shares a lot of culture and lifestyle with Europe. You guys are painting one of the biggest countries on earth very generally. I get it, it’s a lot to cover but you’re better off comparing individual states/cities vs Canada. Canada has a population less than California lol like fammmm. \nJust think about this… Toronto and Brooklyn (which isn’t even a city mind you) have nearly the same population…

Now if you get a headache, the doctor will ask you if you would like to be euthanized. Free healthcare in Canada doesn't seem so cool now does it?

From Canada.... drakes just a black justin Bieber literally that's it lmfao moving on

Do they have black women in Canada.? Would that mak me a passport bro if snatched one up and brought her back to the states.?

@Aba N Preach How is the free health and dental care in Canada..is there a catch to it...because I'm sure its awesome!!let me know thinking about moving to Canada..thanks.

I almost wanna go to Canada just for the Tap Water.

Bro you couldn't live in a lot of other states with out a car...Try Iowa..you literally picked a state that's basically a island you could walk across...come guys...and literally it's less diverse in Canada...it's funny when people say that places are safer cause there are less POC when you are a person of color???it's about culture and how you raised... environment matters...what's the rate of single parents in Canada?...just saying Americans have issues with accountability and taking any

I moved from Canada to the US AND I never felt unsafe since I moved. And there's racism in Canada too...ohhhhh you better believe it.

Lol ????????? I really need to move to Canada I love their bacon ? better than ours

Bahi hum key ayn canada
