When Americans move to Canada and act like their entitled

Americans are not welcome....only if you have a degree in Engineering...but yet allow elsalvador and others in.According to Canada people need reason or qualifications! That's a joke

If I’m being honest I prefer the smaller population. It’s still big but the amount of the US is too much. As an American who’s been to Canada multiple times and have many friends there, I prefer much of it over US. It’s a very great place

Also despite Canada having a tipping culture i feel that their rate of tipping is more like European rates rather than American

And don't forget to mention the US have much more crime than in Canada. Canadians don't say aboot we say about just like the everyone it's like saying the American's talk Texan or from Alabama can't go to NY city and say howdy partner!

Americans never know anything about Canada , it’s nice to see your video

US Americans moving into Canada and bringing racism with them? Where did this 'Canada is a happy, respectful and welcoming country' stereotype came from? I've seen a lot of racists videos from this country...Canadians are just like US Americans but in a passive agressive way.

He’s bringing American attitudes to Canada. As we have seen Racism is an equal threat to people’s lives. What a loser. I guess he wasn’t worried about her being COVID positive when he hit on her.

Canada was colonised by Europeans centuries ago.its Upto the native Americans to decide who should be given citizenship

Okay. A lot of people here have no clue how the immigration system works both in the US and in Canada. “He should just have come here legally”. Well, most of the time a legal path to emigrating to the US/Canada just does not exist, and its getting more and more impossible to be granted asylum. In the US you can’t just apply for a work visa, you can’t just apply for a green card. You got to be eligible to apply for it. For a work visa you need a job offer first, you need proof of income and most of the time the employer will have to prove they couldn’t find an American to take the position. To get a green card you either have to get married to an American, invest at least $500,000 or try applying for asylum (which is almost impossible to get nowadays). ALSO to apply for asylum you need to be either inside the US or at a US port of entry. Try to be less “patriotic” and more empathetic. People flee their countries because of war, violence, cartels, gangs, terrorism, etc. They are desperate and want to protect their families and have a better life. If you were in their shoes and staying in your home country put your family in great harm you would have done the same thing. People need to stop judging, stop being selfish and start leading with empathy.

The biggest minority group in Canada is South Asians(Indians, Pakistanis, Sri Lankans etc. ) , most spoken non English language is Chinese(including Cantonese, mandarin etc. ) . So, why aren't these Asian groups shouting about inequality and systematic racism, but a smaller group(African Americans) is? This all feels like politics power grab rather than actual a problem. But there's a systemic racism against Aboriginal people, that's a fact that the government apologized over and over again, and I don't hear much about it in this video.

I think the people that feel systemic discrimination in Canada the most are native Americans.

I think Canada’s proximity to the USA desensitized us to its problems. Canadians have a long history of defining themselves by the fact that they are NOT American but that doesn’t shield us from the fact that we have some growing to do. We have generally more socially favorable welfare programs than the US but that doesn’t mean there isn’t systematic racism, it just means it’s shown and expressed in different ways

There is discrimination here. I am from Latin American and it has been difficult to fit in this country but most importantly to find a job. I mean fit in because they look at me very weird. I don’t really feel part of the society here. As for work/job There are many companies that only want asian or only want white people. I think Canada should start asking companies to present how many black, Latino, Asian and white were hired.

What disgusts me is that USA and Canada always preferred European immigrants over Mexican, Brazilian, Jamaican, & etc. immigrants who oddly enough are actually American.

4:23 “with targeted info graphics warning them about misinformation” they should have added from our PM and other politicians. I hate how the US is appeared to be the bad guy in all this but fact are facts. If you allow everyone to flee their countries because of hardships, your country will fail. People need to understand that people from their home country have to come first. In America Americans have to come first, the same for Canada, ect, ect. The US takes in a good amount of people seeking permanent residency.

Canada is full of racists. I had better experience from Americans

The difference between Canada and USA is Americans are brave enough to face racism and Canada doesn't like to face racism

Racism has to be end no matter its Canada or US these lands are belong to American Indians no white or black or any other colour and no one is better then other person we all the same human being

North America is for native Red Indian Americans that b*ch must leave canada and go back to England

What the problem fool. Didn’t the CANADIANS GIVE YOU ENOUGH!?\nPass this on to your buddies...the American Dream IS FOR AMERICANS! We take care of our own....not those that break in, without a dime in their pockets and just want ‘TO TAKE.’ The old GIMMEE ATTITUDE!\nEnjoy Canada......

Canada is better tbh\n\n -One American

Hi Drew. Very good info. I’m American and have visited Canada more than 6 times. All the information is correct to my understanding. Happy Passover to our Jewish community.

We have Bass fishing in Canada.\nThe Small Mouth Bass are native to Canada.\nThe Large Mouth Bass are American.

How about 1st - Military, US has the best in the world, Canada... not even close, 2nd - Taxes, Canadians pays LOTS of taxes way more then Americans, 3rd - Terrorism, the US eliminate Terrorist leaders to make themselves and the world a safer place, Canada welcomes Terrorists with open arms putting Canadians and Americans in danger.

Funny how ironic it is that Americans and Canadians talk about coming over here..haaa that's how modern America and Canada was founded..out of British and Eurooean immigrants. Also to be honest you had English language but changed that.

In Canada there will be low key racism and I have been called the world n- word many times in Toronto but only by Latino Americans, twice by a Mexican in my school, once by Peru guy then by a russian and a vietnamese. But never by a Canadian. In Toronto you will likely face more racism because it's multi cultural than any other city. But you will face racism by people who are non Canadian but more from other countries that have not accepted different races.

2:06 just to let the Lexus driver know brown is the only colour. Black and white are shades not colours so how does it feel being colourless just your personality. Sounds the like the typical American but the shocking thing is that this is in Canada.

I'm American but I like Canada better. I'm lucky to live in the northern USA so I get to visit Canada often. I hope to move there one day.

American here. The way Canada spells colour and centre is technically the correct way. Rather than color and center. Because that’s the way the language was invented. Us Americans changed it for no reason.

People from countries all over the world want to live in the USA(legally or not) and Canada. Why the government of yours does not use the works of those peoples, like the mexicans, ensuring that these people will not be deported without guarantees and that you can get the factories out of China?People from countries all over the world want to live in the USA, because the government of yours does not use the labor force like the Mexicans, ensuring that these people will not be deported without guarantees and that you can get the factories out of China? not depriving it so much, because they no longer invest in the American continent (central and south america) which is better strategically?

At least two more differences between the US and Canada (I'm a Montrealer myself with American-born parents):\n\n1) When going to the different parts of Canada, they feel that much more different from each other (in the buildings, highway signs, etc.) than the different parts of the US. For example, British Columbia feels like a foreign country compared to not just Quebec (the most obviously different province in Canada) but also compared to Nova Scotia or Manitoba, whereas Washington state or Minnesota is less different than Pennsylvania or Massachusetts.\n\n2) Native Americans (or First Nations, as they're called in Canada) make up a way higher proportion of the Canadian than American population, though less so percentage-wise in Montreal or Toronto or even Quebec City, and they are thus much more in the consciousness of the average Canadian than the average American.

What I love about both countries that religion doesn't play much of role . Btw Canada is 60% non religion . And USA is 40% no religion . But the most important thing is that the secular identity in both nations . Christians in both countries are not traditional Christians . But secular Christians . That's why Americans and Canadians marry other people like non religious and other religions \nAnd they are very open minded nations . I just hope if I can marry a Canadian or American because Its my dream to marry and settle down in there for a very big part of my life . I don't care what's my partner religion as long as I love and her it's enough .

Americans don't really care about Canada much. It's a country that they can do without. I don't care what they think about America.

Having lived in both Canada and Sweden I can say with confidence that Canada is American Sweden and Sweden is European Canada ;)

Canada ?? is an amazing country but obviously I’m going with the USA ?? because I’m American.\nGreat video Drew ?

One things is that canadians like to compare canada and America (united states) americans not so much also Canadians seem to really dislike the United states America not so much

Nice, accurate short summary. I am American. Love Canada and my Canadian friends.

There’s really only 3 big cities in Canada, Toronto Montreal and Vancouver. Which are completely different than all of Canada. Toronto is very similar to London England. Whereas Montreal is really similar to Paris. Not so much in architecture, but in terms of people, life, style, slang. Lots of people in Toronto listen to toronto artist and UK artist as well whereas Montreal residents listen to their Montreal artist and French artist from France. Most of the similarities here are actually not like any American cities. America to us seems really “white” there’s not lot of diversity there either. Toronto is so diverse, People from literally everywhere its so nice to see. Our Prime Minister also a lot better looool

Well, Canadians are a minority in North America. California has more people than Canada. There are more Blacks in the USA than all Canadas population. So, being a minority will make you feel like your kind of special. Being American is not since there are 320 million Americans .

Canada? We speak like Americans but look, we say ''EH'' at the end of our phrases. That makes us sound Canadian. If you think that adding a stupid word at the end of a phrase is creating an accent, its an insult for all the countries that have spend centuries to develop an actual accent that makes them sound different from the others. You guys are in denial.

There’s a common saying which states that the difference between Canadians and Americans is that “while Americans side with their fellow citizens against the government, Canadians side with their government against their fellow citizens.” This is stereotype is the best explanation as to why Canada can’t see to develop a viable market economy or compete with other nations on innovations in STEM or the arts. The problem with Canada is that it never developed a culture outside of “not being American” and the result is that their government has been allowed to grow to an enormous size and basically strangle all of the talent out of the country. Canada, despite the fact that it’s an English speaking country on the North American continent, is virtually nothing like America is any sense of the term, and actually has more in common with Scandinavia than it does with the country that borders it’s south.

I know this seems weird, coming from Europe, but I absolutely love North American food culture (Mexico, Canada and U.S.A). Firstly they all drink A LOT of cola and although their food is unhealthy it just taste soooo good? I’ve only eaten American food outside of America and I have never been there, but I hope I can come someday and try some of the fast food restauarants we don’t have here like Wendys or Taco Bell.

Canada that is your #1 favorite son and American the #2 favorite because of grades

hey Drew I'm an American and I've been living in Canada for 4 years, let me know if you want to know more stuff about Canada from my perspective! big fan of your videos too

Cool video! You should have mentioned the acknowledgement Canada does for its First Nations people vs what the US does to its own Native American people just a factor that could help

Drew: USA vs Canada\nMe, and American: Canada

Something funny I noticed while in the US was when I talk to people the 2nd thing they ask me is my name. ALWAYS THE 2nd THING THEY ASK. WHY?? I can speak with everybody in Canada without knowing the name ever but Americans feel the need to know that.

I'm an American-born Asian and Canada has some nice people. My first encounter was with a Canadian who draws good art and my second encounter was with another with a more active Discord server than mine.

American here, been to Canada twice and love it there.
