I've lived 2 years in Toronto. Plusses, it's all there, sports, theatre, music, amazing restaurants. Negatives I found the people difficult to get to know, I usually felt I wasn't breathing fast enough, and no mountains. I've lived 10 years in Calgary. Plusses, people are incredibly open and friendly, mountains, energetic without being frenetic, affordable. Minuses, very cyclic economy, everything always under construction with little sense of history or culture. I was born and raised in Victoria and returned here 34 years ago. Plusses, ocean and mountains, sense of history, laid back and friendly, amazing climate. Minuses, completely unaffordable (if I hadn't bought my house over 30 years ago I couldn't afford it today). Enjoyed them all but wouldn't voluntarily leave Victoria.

Some idiots are always there like her in the world

Shoppers always ask me if I'm ok as soon as I enter the store where the fragrance is.

Canada is always looking for slave labor. The Healthcare system is broken. Taxes are outrageous. People are mostly psychotic.

May Allah bless you and all Sikhs and guide you to the right path always.

Happy always

Always been friends? Thats funny because pretty sure that iff WW2 had not happened, Canada would have invaded the US as payback for the 1812 war. Because without WW2, the US never gets a war economy, all they have are riffle foot soldiers. Meanwhile Canada was already in a war economy due to its massive involvement in WW1 and viewed the US as a rival with a dangerously high population. Also in WW1 Canadian were feared for its crualty and its no mercy policies of make no prisoners, kill the surrendering, kill the wounded and their families. And right after WW1 Canada was in the perfect position fix the population problem by committing mass genocide against the US. It was really in WW2 where britain forced us to work side by side with the americans that a real friendship started between the US and Canada.

It’s funny how young Americans currently wouldn’t allow anything bad to be said about Canada. Young Americans believe Canada is what America should be and that it is a perfect country. I always thought it funny how Canada built all their major cities along the Border, they literally piggyback off America. I’m from AZ, I’ve watched immigrants come up and get jobs and start businesses without even being able to speak English.

No matter which country comparison it is, there's always an Indian guy that wants to show respect

Always good to listen from you. You always talk fruitful discutions

Canadian people are the best in the world\nCanadian support victims, help each other\nAnd come together as one hand in hard times , also Canadians always stick together when they are abroad

any recruitment agencies for petroleum engineers? I've always looked for any possible way to work in Canada but its hard to get answers for alot of stuff

Ive lived in Canada for 51 years .there has always been a job for me in all the 4 western provinces when i have asked for work.You must be flexible and possibly travel long distances to work between cities.people are friendly and willing to help .Some friends i know go home every few years and visit their Dr.then. many others have only been to the eye Dr.and dentist .A good healthy life in the North and all the freedom one needs .Eat fish and wild meat and all the berries and mushrooms you can pick.Doctors have been available when needed.Things in Northern Canada are expensive! Everything! Plan everything you do as weather can be a problem unless you are prepared.Ive often thot of moving back home but after a visit each time i have felt that i did not have the freedom of space and the wiggle room to do as you please on your own property.Cheers!

imigrated here in Feb of '94 ,always crying and complaining or taking everything for granted doesnt get you anywhere. Do i like -35 in Winter, No 1 but its part of it. \nQuestion first of all ,why did you decide to leave your Country, expecting 'milk an honey' ,do your homework first ! And why does everyone always flock to the Big Cities,how about try the smaller cities or Country first.

And by the way if you don't like it here you can always leave eh! Canada is not for everyone you need to be tough and resilient to live here, The climate can be brutal especially during winter but I love this country, to me it is the best damn country in the world!

Vancouver is shit. It always rains

Hello from Saskatchewan I may not live in Prince Albert but I’d just like to say thank you for finally including us in something we’re always forgotten >:(

Yeah, the talking behind back is real and I just don't get it. Especially if it is about a trivial matter. I'd rather have an adult conversation... it is something I am really struggling. I am at a point in which I gave up having friends and I used to always have big groups back in Italy. It is also cause I was depressed for a long time here (Edmonton) but idk. I feel like canadians struggle too... the amout of people that go by just if they can have their weed or whaterver they take it is unreal to me. Also, the harsh weather and how cities are built for cars instead of people lower the possibily for socilization for everyone. Anyways... it is what it is. This place is not for me, it is for somebody else.

Not even from Canada, but glad I found this video, very informative. I've always heard positive things about Canada coming from the United States, rarely anything negative. I guess there's always two sides to every story. P.S. Really like the channel and the info that you provide, I follow the both of you on instagram as well.

Always impressed by Foil's nuanced acting.

God bless and protect you always in Jesus Christ'Name ? ?

Whenever anyone says go back to their country always remember that they’re not actually from that country

Hii,regularly watching your videos providing much more learning specially for those intending to move abroad,I always found you very honest nd generously helping temperament,thank you so much \nRegards \nMumtaz Ahmad Advocate Peshawar

I wish someone would explain the possibility of international marriage. I like to marry a foreigner, but not for her passport. \nWish I knew if Canada can give me a better dating life. A serious relationship with a foreigner (she must not have Canadian passport, but I don't either, so will any girl like me there)\nI think girls there will dump me to be with Canadians and I will be as alone as I always was.\n\nI'm studying abroad for 16 years now, kept myself away from my country with student visa so far. \n\nIf I can't date, I don't care about taxes, insurance, weather, tech, santa...

This video was very informative. I live in Upstate New York a stones throw from Quebec and have always wondered about Canada. In the US we hear how great it is. The healthcare, and other social programs. I didn't realize how much tax you guys have to pay, ouch!

I agree with this. Lived in Montréal for 10 years, Quebec has it all. But, moved to New Brunswick for cheaper housing market, visited British Colombia, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia it's all beautiful too, but always love going back to Ontario, so many things to see and do esp if you're a sports fanatic it has (NBA/NHL/MLB etc. Also, I love Alberta for it's majestic scenery esp Banff but I don't like it's politics.

As a Canadian I found this very informative and interesting. I have always been interested in hearing what people from all around the world have to say about other places. I value different perspectives greatly. Now I shall want to ask what my friends have to say about Canada.

The a boot part was great. Funny hearing Americans always jump to 'aboot'.

Living in Australia at the moment. Folks ask me if I'm American or Canadian. \nTheir always a bit bummed when I say American. \nBut not as much as I am.

i always come back to this channel and binge the sketches for like an hour lol

You need to come to Winnipeg, MB! People always forget the Prairie Provinces.

D'awww, always nice to see some love for Canada. Hello from your 'beautiful, but inhospitable' neighbors! Remember when all the jokes about Canada revolved around denim and folk drinking Pepsi for breakfast?

'touring canada' always means toronto and maybe vancouver and nowhere else lol.

Your videos are the reason why I wait for Thursdays more than Fridays evening?\nGreat jokes as always?

As always delighted on Thursdays!! Waiting for Patreon content for those of us who can't see you live! ?

“Canada is next to which beautiful but inhospitable region?…. USA” I died laughing because it’s true ? excited you’re coming back here though guys! LA is always happy to have ya ?

I like how they always glance at each other at the start. subtle running gag?

I love these, you guys are the best! These sketches always cheer up my thursdays!\nCould maybe you do a Getting Past Hungarian Immigration sketch someday?

You can always tell a Canadian from an American. Play a real - not Hollywood - gunshot sound effect. And the American ducks, but the Canadian has no idea what it is.

Brilliant as always. And the bit about ‘a boot’! Hahaha. \nThanks for the laughs.\nLots of love,\nNatasha.

It isn’t always what it seems like.

Brilliant! Laughed at the seal-clubbing joke, and apologize profusely. Milo, my cat, loves your doom-dahs...or at least I think he does...he always bats at the laptop screen when he hears it. Looking forward to seeing you lads in Vancouver!

Thank you ! Love your immigration videos. Perfect as always. I'm so Happy.

Is it only me who loves to join in with the Doom-Daaaah? I always get odd looks on the bus ?

I wish it were so easy to emigrate to Canada ?\nI love you guys, you always make me laugh even though I feel guilty about doing it with some jokes.

Wonderful and soo brilliantly funny as always, loved Foil's expressions in the outro, the seal clubbing line was just ?? Class sketch as always ???

I love these immigration sketch series (and hope there's extra bits left, they are always a pleasure to watch)!

Southern-ish US accent-ish? ? Gold, as always!

I'm sorry about this, great video as always but also sorry that I didn't know that those celebrities were Canadian

Sorry but in America, i have seen some videos where always someone irked others and when they start arguing they blame that look how they r being mean to me
