As an American I am barely aware of the existence of the 10 Canadian provinces, let alone what they are all called or where they are located. However I do believe that reacting and watching this video on the Canadian provinces ranked best to worst will be very helpful in introducing me to all of the provinces and give me a general sense of what they all have to offer. The ranking part of this video sounds a bit controversial but I wouldn’t mind getting a sense of what Canadians think of their provinces as well. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Am I the only Canadien here that doesn’t learn anything by watching these videos but watch them just for the « typical American »? Love this guy 😂👍
Nope same reason in fact him making learning about Canada constant probably gives him a huge Canadian to American ratio compared to most CZcamsrs I find myself finding canadian youtubers content extra funny when interacting with American youtubers (smii7y, northern lion, and others I can’t remember) also sorry for replying at around 11:00 in my time alberta
Same :)
of course your not the same :) we are nosy lol
Definitely not LOL!
Sorry, but I'd love it if you could spell "Canadian" correctly... 😉🤗👍
I’m Canadian too. No you’re not alone. This guy is so direct and seems authentic. He!s refreshing. If more Americans were like him, they have hope.
Americans will lose hope if they’ve try taking anything from Canada
It would be like Viet nam, but the consequences would be lasting through generations
?
Yes it’s so cool to watch his reaction to things that are normal to us
He is!
Probably
Tyler look into the story of the relationship between Halifax and Boston. Boston helped Halifax rebuild in the late 19th century from a massive maritime explosion. To this day (I think) Halifax gives Boston a Christmas tree every year to show their appreciation. It’s a great story of the U.S./Canadian relationship.
The Halifax Explosion was 1917, the early 20th century
Please do the Halifax explosion. That would be awesome.
Yes we in halifax ns do send a very large beautiful Xmas tree to the city of Boston each year. Forever thanks to thd city and ppl of Boston for the immediate help in such drastic circumstances. 😊
@@MrGlovesave33
I love that!.
Seriously? Boston is a white racist enclave. You have no idea.
As a Canadian it's neat to see others learning about my country. I'm from Nova Scotia myself.
Omg me too
Same dude
me as well,what shocked me most is that he glossed over how high we are in education as well as how our scenery is so diverse that we are used in so many movies! Anything from Scotland to action movies.
Me too
Nova Scotia is in a few songs
"This could be the poutine capital of the world for all I know, and that counts for a lot!" he says innocently of Prince Edward Island.
I gasped, and I swear I heard the distant, collective scream of all my friends in Quebec.
I'm from PEI and laughed at that too lol. Mind you, we DO love our poutines here, but the credit must go to our French population. And I'm fairly sure the comment about the prize may not be legit, so, it may be a scam!
😂😂😂
@@tbag8024 im from pei too and i laughed alittle about that too. that video also forgot to mention that everyone on pei pretty much knows each other through something and i said that maybe with 5-10 years or less youll probably know every single person.
not much screaming from me. The real fact is poutine was created here in Québec, most of us agree that it should be made with PEI potatoes, they're the best. In summary, curd cheese & gravy from Québec with potatoes from PEI--it's good to take the best from each province and mix.
I live in the city that create poutine and i gasped
Fun fact about Churchill, the Polar Bear Capital of the World: There's a bylaw in the city that makes it illegal to lock your car. This is so that if a bear just shows up out of nowhere, people on the street can just get into the closest car.
I'm an Ontarian, and I've never heard that previously, but it made me chuckle, as it makes sense in a really perverse sort of way. lol
I didn't know that, but it makes perfect sense.
I read a book about that is was 2 degrees
Churchill also has a polar bears prison. When one isn't sleeping during summer, they take it in feed and/or heal it. Bears has a prisoner number and are release in autumn
Torontonian and the rule sounded psycho and then when you gave a reason it was the most obvious and reasonable thing only in canada
I've lived in British Columbia (BC) my entire life and can definitely confirm it is expensive, especially house prices. Where I live any decent homes are reaching 1 mil now which is insane. The market has skyrocketed in just a few years as 5 years ago they would have only been 400-500k. Still I love living here.
Fun fact: Alberta is one of the only known populated places on the planet to claim to have no settled rat population as per their official "Rat Control Program".
Well there's a fairly large number of NDP members living here.... but they aren't actually Rattus Rattus by species... Just temperament.
Oh my gosh, yes! 5 years ago, my family bought a house for 400k/500k and now it’s one million and a half dollars. Even though it means my family has made money on this house, the prices to actually keep it are insane. Plus, the cost of food has gone up so much to the point where, on playdates, my friends will ask my mom what the prices are doing to our family because it’s been affecting them. Even the teachers complain about gas and food DURING CLASS!
Sadly, this video has become dated as housing across the country has gone way up from these median averages
Hi there every one! Manitoban here, born and raised. When being stacked against the other provinces statistically, I can understand the placement as we are a farming/industrial province and have a lower budget to support our province. However speaking as some one who lives here and has been all across Canada. I love Manitoba, I love Winnipeg and I love the people here too. Yes it gets cold in the winter so layer up, winter is my favorite season and mybfondest childhood memories are playing in the mountains of snaow with my family and friends. However our summers are very hot some times getting in to +40s though +20 to +37 is more the norm. We have lakes, rivers and fresh water bloody EVERYWHERE. I've been all across Canada and I'd rather camp here than any where else. Yes our Crime rate is higher but remember that still in CANADA lol. I am the only person I know who has had a gun pulled on them, I worked in an American PayDayLoan company that didn't give us bullet proof glass like every other PayDayLoan Company in Canada so of course we inevitably got robbed Inhad worked there 4 years before that happend though and my customers were generally lovely people lol. All fine. But honestly Manitoba is beautiful meybe you have to be born here to see it but it's a great place to live. I've lived in every end of the city grew up wealthy on the south side. Married for love and moved to the Northend (Winnipegs Ghetto if you will but still not very ghetto lol) moved to the city core then to the west side then bought a house in the east. Neighborhoods are kind and friendly always ready to help, i have never had a bad neighbor. Wonderful culture, the forks historical sight, the museum of human rights, the WAG and so on. I work in the education sector and yes we need more funding desperately but that it a country problem, not province problem. There is only so much to go around. If you apply yourself and get good teachers that care you will do just fine. Canada is great and so is my home, may not be the best or even close too, but it's mine and I would want to live anywhere else. If you gave me 20,000,000 I'd just move to northern Manitoba on to a beautiful lake. 🥰
Also Saskatchewan stole a bunch of their pics and video from Manitoba lmao!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
We can all agree that The Forks is the only good place in Winnipeg.
@@henrimarchildon5016 I would agree that The Forks is the BEST part of winnipeg. I understand many people dont care for Winnipeg I however love it, it could be better sure but it could be ALOT worse too. 😊
It's pretty misleading to rank any province as "worst" since all of Canada is pretty great. Every province has some downsides and some rough neighborhoods but is generally great. Having grown up in SK, I expected it to be ranked lower honestly. It was a wonderful place to grow up, but there's almost no reason for anyone outside SK to want to visit there. After I moved away and my parents did too, I haven't found any reason to go back.
I live in Saskatoon but I was born in Winnipeg and spent all my summers in Kenora Ontario. It’s the best kept secret as many people from Winnipeg spend summers there on lake of the Woods .
Sounds absolutely marvelous, Kailey. Truly a very heartfelt and heartwarming story. Thank you for it.😊🇨🇦👋
As a New Brunswicker I’m genuinely shocked and pleased to see we didn’t make the bottom of the list for once.
As a fellow New Brunswicker I agree 💯%!!!
@@patrickoreilly5528 I like my province! Not necessarily how it has been managed but the landscapes and people are beautiful and I appreciate the slower pace of life. It’s just been a trope that NB is always at the bottom of the list whether fair or not. Our satirical newspapers always joke about it. We are a province captured by corporations so it’s difficult to get support or social development with them in the way.
Same!
ayy a fellow Acadien!!! :D
@@Lorijenken I’m not Acadian but have friends who are!
I'm from Ontario - just above the central Great Lake Huron, and it may be agreed upon by most Canadians that in fact Newfoundlanders are, by and large, the funniest, friendliest, and most welcoming of all. I happen to agree. And they're tough as nails as well.
I've never met a Newfee I didn't like.
Granted, cant understand them most of the time... lol... but yes ... great people.
come to waterloo we goated
Don't mess with Newfies lol My Moms Newfie
many jokes about Newfies being a bit simple too, but still lovely people and places.
@@randyjenkins8896 Yes and no; they have timing, lots of wit and a sense of irony too, I think. Yes both for the people and places too.
I live in New Brunswick! I was born in Ontario, but I have also lived in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan!!
My parents were in the military, so we would move around a lot😢
But I still love it here in Canada🇨🇦 ❤
How did you like Saskatchewan?
Probably already mentioned but there was a Broadway musical made from Gander and 911. The small town took care of 7000 people, just below the population. 33 jumbo jets, passengers from 95 countries . Some incredible personal stories. Great documentary and name of the musical , Come From Away , a local expressions for visitors etc. , Gander talk, passengers called the plane people. Gander played a major role in Ww2 for aviation, and is still a traffic control check for aircraft crossing the Atlantic .
As a Canadian, I'm happy you (an American) is choosing to learn about Canada.
i"m not ...!
im from BC how are you today fellow canadian? its 13 degrees here... TODAY AT THIS MOMENT
@@YourLocalGeemanEmpire im good how are you im from PEI and its about 18 degrees right now.
@@mrbluejay010 nice you are eastern
@@YourLocalGeemanEmpire yes sir :)
The housing price in BC is 100% accurate. Vancouver is one of the most expensive places in the world to live along with Hong Kong, London and Sydney
If only the pay reflected it.
Its unfortunate people think vancouver is the entirety of bc. Central/northern bc is what is good. The coast is awful
Vancouver’s current state is bad

I am from Alberta but I love Winnipeg. Each summer, hubby and I go visit our son who is a prof at one of the universities. Winnipeg is very green and beautiful.
Born and raised in Toronto, I always enjoy Tyler's comments and reaction to Canadian people, culture and geography. And Tyler, you were wondering where you may have heard the name "Nova Scotia" before. I'm just guessing here, but years ago Carly Simon had a hit song entitled "You're So Vain" ....
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga, where your horse naturally won,
Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun, (There was a total solar eclipse the year she wrote the song)
The song was her very public putdown of James Taylor when they separated. It was a great tune and a huge smash hit for her.
Like Rick Mercer once said, 'Canadians know more about the U.S than the U.S knows about, ah, ANYTHING.'
A quick note about where you may have heard about Nova Scotia: During the events of 9/11, 40 planes were diverted to Halifax. There were about 7k passengers and the people of Halifax supported them during the crisis. There were many other similar events across a bunch of airports around the Atlantic provinces like at Gander where they took in about 6.8k people.
It (usually Halifax) is also referenced in a lot of tv shows and movies.
Nah, people think of Gander first and foremost
Even more impressive about Gander in particular in this situation is that their population in 2001 was around 9K. With ~7K passengers landing in Gander, the town's population almost doubled in size in an instant. Since there isn't much of a hospitality industry in such a small town (very few hotels or B&Bs), the citizens of Gander stepped up to take the passengers in; housing, feeding, and entertaining them for a week.
There's also a Broadway musical about Gander on 9/11 called, "Come from Away"
proud Bluenoser but yeah I think more about Gander's effort during 9/11 rather than Halifax. We got plenty of cool stuff so I'm willing to let them have this lol
I’m from Alberta and I was shocked that it wasn’t the top but I think there was mostly due to the fact that we depend on oil. The reason my education is the number one in Canada is because of a little thing you get to call provincial exams. Most people in Canada actually don’t know about this except for Albertans but in grade 6,9 and 12 we have very hard exams that are created by the government to make sure that the teachers in the school system is up to a certain standard. I am in grade 12 right now and our diplomas are 30% of our final grade they used to be 50% before Covid
and just think.... 30 years ago standards for both teachers and students were even higher with departmental exams weighing at 50% of your final year end grade. And teachers could be fired, and thrown out of the union, if more than a certain threshold of their students failed those exams. Talk about an incentive to teach your students correctly Eh?
Got those in Quebec too
Every province as them you idiot... Here go learn something about other Provinces and stop being a American want a be. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_primary_and_secondary_examinations
next thing you know you'll be saying 'we have the most freedom of anywhere and chanting were number 1 over and over'.
Ontario as well
As an Alberta, I was NOT surprised that we were not in the top because A: we’ve been steadily declining further and further into a drought (at least the south has) for several years now, and B: all the people I know hate living here. I personally never minded it, but I’m just shocked we got as high as we did in the list.
Newfoundland and Labrador is a completely unique experience. Yeah, the weather sucks - but the people make it wonderful
Québec resident here, finding it very cool how you try to pronounce our province correctly, even though it’s super French! You should definitely come visit, and no worried if you don’t speak French, we mostly understand English and can help out as needed! :) (Outside big cities however, it might be a little more difficult but it’s worth the try!)
Ontario residents here, you should separate so we can invade, signed the rest of Canada. you asshats gave us Trudeau and you should feel bad. you are lucky we let you stay
have a lot of family in laval found this to be mostly true although some folk get an attitude if you speak english makes me want to punch them in the face lol
@Alex RD again most people yes but I'm telling you it's a fact lol
@@beans8474 yeah there are definitely people like that too... these aren't friendly and usually a pain in the butt for Frenchies too lol
British Columbian here
Proud Ontarian here, but I could comfortably live in any province. All of Canada is a wonderful place!
I miss Ontario!! Im from Ontario but live in Alberta. Once I have enough money, I’ll move back
I was born in Alberta, living in Toronto for the past 2 decades.
Let’s swap places! I’m so over this province. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ontario has the worst Premiere DOUG FORD ONLY CARES ABOUT HIS BANK ACCT! I was born and raised in SW Ontario and love the North! But we need leadership that’s not Ford! He only won because only 33% voted . Pathetic
@@chrystiafreelandscankles548 Same, I live in Ottawa. It's not good here and it is only going to get much worse.
@Mitch - the only way I’d ever live in Ontario is when there is no PST and Trudope is no longer Prime Minister.
Nova Scotia is part of a line in "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon.
Also a good note is that our cost of living is way higher than the States when it comes to general necessities like groceries
Newfie here. We do have absolutely horrible weather and many other issues, yet we have people like no other provinces. A low crime rate, and even tho or weather is shitty it doesn't even get very cold it just gets wet and windy
As a bred and born Albertan, and someone who has lived in Quebec as a kid. I agree with #1 and #2 respectively. Alberta is an amazing place to live. Taxes are low and honestly I can drive 4 hours and be in the mountains. Not to mention all the amazing campgrounds we have. I love it here :)
4 hours, eh? You must be in Edmonton. ☺️
@@carlingnugent Alberta sucks to live in if you can't drive though, I have trouble going more than 500m from my house because of my leg and the practical non existence of transit.
I was raised in Edmonton, and now I live on Vancouver Island. The camping out here is far better.
1 hour from the mountains if you're in Calgary.
@@layne4376 Banff
I started chatting with someone from England about a month ago. He thought the three largest cities in Canada were Toronto, Montreal, and Saskatchewan lol.
Ha ha ha…heck the population of the whole province is less then the 4 most populous cities in Canada EACH! Lol
I’m from Alberta and the cities and landscapes are very nice, but inflation is going up like crazy now so it is getting hard to afford a house here. The government is crashing the economy here.
@@corbynsgaming6211 other parts of the country are just as bad or worse… like it sucks I can’t afford to live on my own, but at least it’s not an impossible goal like it might be in Toronto or Vancouver

I live in Manitoba and we have some of the best freshwater beaches in North America, the friendliest people, the best Arts scene, lots of hunting, fishing, camping, canoeing, hiking, biking..We have awesome music and art festivals and we have a heritage building area of Winnipeg called the Exchange. St Boniface, the Forks that are beautiful places to visit. We also have a lot of lakes and rivers including Grand Beach, Winnipeg beach, Victoria Beach where we get people from the USA and other areas of Canada every year Our weather is not that bad. We have average temps of 25 celsius in the Summer. In winter, it can be cold but we love our outside sports where we play hockey, curling, cross country skiing, tobogganing and many other winter sports. I have lived in other Provinces including Saskatchewan, Alberta, Quebec and Ontario. I love it in Manitoba much more. It is more affordable, close to nature, lots of great sports and arts and music. We also have the best place to see the Polar bears in the World. This survey is very biased.
It's not just New Brunswick, Manitoba is also officially bilingual. I live and grew up in Manitoba, and I don't know about the last place (near the bottom for sure), but downtown Winnipeg is pretty depressing. If you can find a nice community to live, and there are many, it's actually a pretty good place to raise a family.
new Brunswick is the only officially bilingual province. meaning the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms specifically recognizes that English and French are the official languages of new-Brunswick. that is not the case for Manitoba in Manitoba its bilingual by choice other then government services. in new brunswick all businesses need to advertise in both languages all signs all ads all coupons etc... legally enforced pretty much. a lot of briskness owners where mad at first because they needed to spend money on getting new everything for there business advertising .
I live in Manitoba. Love living here. Has great schools! People that were born and raised in Toronto think this. Can live off a million as if you’re a billionaire! Bargain Capital of the World. Winters are cold, but no one lets that stop them from living.
I live in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, just 5 hrs from Vancouver! The best weather, the best food, the best wine! I just retired here! It’s the closest thing to paradise in North America - and as a trucker, I’ve seen the entire continent!
Peace
Me too! Okanagan BC is where it's at!
i' m from Quebec and very happy with that video :) but honestly I think Canada in General is a great place to live!
I agree 100% (from Quebec City)
@@mpili.mattress I disagree with the Quebec ranking, I would put Ontario number 1, Quebec number 2.
@@siycles Ontario was number 3. But I agree, Ontario is wonderful : Ottawa, Toronto 🤩😍, Niagara City, the Great Lakes, the Big Apple, Thunder Bay, etc)
I also live in Quebec City )
Agreed even at our Worst its still a great place to live.... Greetings from Alberta though.
I haven't seen the video yet but I'm going to say that Alberta is the Texas of Canada.
Edit 1: When talking about the territories one thing to remember is that although there are quite a few high-paying jobs the cost of things there is rather high. At least it was for me when I lived in one of the smaller places in the Northwest Territories, the average cost of groceries was upwards of twenty to thirty dollars per item. We just went on an eight-hour drive to someplace that had reasonable prices and bought enough of them to live for a few months.
Edit 2: And the guy has mentioned that okay.
Edit 3: Yeah the crime rates were really high for a few reasons. Also, I'd say that it's probably even higher than five times as a lot of times people would just claim to "forget" what had happened not two weeks ago. This happened so often that the police weren't allowed to stay in one area for more than five or so years as it caused mental health problems when for the fifties time somebody "forgets" what happened in a case and they see somebody who they know have probably committed a few dozen crimes escape punishment.
Edit 4: I've been to PEI and even have a hat with its name on it. If you ever do go there then I'd suggest seeing some of the beaches as they're literally red. It's a pretty cool place.
Edit 5: Quebec has a bit of a reputation in the western side of Canada as everywhere else has to have Québécois underneath the English while in Quebec they don't even allow English! Sorry, was just venting a bit.
Edit 6: Do recall that the Canadian dollar is only worth something like seventy percent of the US dollar and as such while it sounds impressive what the people make it's not as much as you'd think.
Edit 7: And then you immediately search up what the Canadian dollar is worth mere moments after I made the edit.
Edit 8: Just a little fun fact. Canada is almost split in half with how much the provinces on the East Coast and West Coast dislike each other and with how little travel goes between them. In all honesty, if it weren't for the fact that we don't particularly like war, we might have actually split apart. Still might.
Edit 9: Sorry if I seemed a bit negative. I just sorta went on a tangent with things that popped into my head that I hadn't seen many Canadians talk about.
Edit 10: I partially just did this so that I could get ten edits but I also apologize for being so political. In all honesty, most of the things that I've spoken negatively about have more to do with the government than with the actual people. As quite a few people have pointed out, most people in Quebec do know English and probably won't give you too much of a hard time for not knowing Québécois. Also on that topic although not all the people who live in Quebec care there are a few that are touchy about calling it French. That being said I'd be more worried about calling it French to a Frenchman as they tend to be even more touchy on that subject. Also, it is different enough to be considered a different language and that's not just semantics if you get one person who speaks French and another that speaks Québécois in one room and try and get them to start a conversation chances are they might recognise a word or two but probably not enough to communicate effectively.
Texas of Canada? I’ve heard this used a lot lately. Is it due to oil and gas? Or we predominantly vote Conservative? Are we gun packing conceited people? I am not sure exactly why this comparison is made, so please enlighten me! For the record central and northeastern BC is heavily involved in oil and gas and both Alberta & BC fund other provinces social programs via equalization payments. Despite these payments, our predominate eastern population complains about Alberta’s dirty oil and pipelines. if that industry is so problematic, last I checked we all like hydro, heat, driving, boating, flying, and using a billion products that are fabricated from oil.
The Quebecois vs French is wrong thought. As a "quebecois" speaking quebecois, the only problem with french people is the accent (a bit like a heavy wales/scott accent in english) . The french person will disagree, because they love to snob "colonial" accents (they do the same for pretty much all ex-colonies accent/dialect)
loved watching this video! and yes, Nova Scotia is in a song (Carly Simon's You're so Vain); and has been mentioned in tv and movies also!
Ryan Reynolds and Seth Rogen talk alot about being Canadian and are both from BC. Also, Dwayne Johnson has duel citizenship because his dad is from Amherst Nova Scotia. Keanu Reeves has lived in America for over 30 years but still only holds his Canadian citizenship and refers to himself as Canadian.
One more, in Saskatchewan a hoodie is called a bunnyhug if it doesn't have a zipper.
In BC we call them Kangaroo jackets when they have no zipper!
I lived in BC my entire life it wonderful
Finally an acknowledgment to the BUNNYHUG! ❤
Hopefully you will soon visit Canada and give us your opinion. As a Canadian I find your videos from an outsider point of view amusing, being a Canada I don't need any of this information but somehow am drawn into watching all your videos. I'm from Ontario and have extensively travelled throughout this country everywhere except the Territories and I love it. My biggest complaint is it can be quite expensive to travel within our own country but you should definitely, as the dollar exchange is greatly in your favour and goes a lot further. I've also travelled extensively in the USA and I must say I've always had a great time and seen some wonderful sights. Canadian know a lot about Americans just saying.
I really enjoy your Bucket List, Tyler. You are delightfully open to learning something new and I applaud that! It will keep you young!
What the video you were watching said about BC is actually very accurate, I live in a smaller town in BC, and the average home prices around here are incredibly expensive. When he says BC stands for "Bring Cash" he's not wrong. Many homes here go for a million easily, and if you're a renter be prepared for your rent to be at minimum $2000 a month (and your landlord to require you to have a monthly income 3x that to even qualify for the place) all that said makes it kinda tough to survive if you're on provincial disability and the most you get for the disability portion of your PWD amount is $375 (and yes, that is real, average people are being priced out of this province)
It's so true. I'm in BC and struggling with disabilities. I'm blessed to have an affordable place to rent the n a small town. It seems quite rare these days. Even still, I Love BC ❤
Little inside info: I live in Quebec (in Québec city to be exact) and you sometimes come across English speaking people; it's not a big deal if you're a tourist especially in Montreal where it's basically bilingual. Everyone learned english in Quebec so unless you're very unlucky, you should be understood in english even outside of Montreal if you speak slowly and keep your language simple.
vous n'êtes qu'une bande de séparatistes
@@TheonlyoneLordlahire as a Francophone, you should learn proper English. “It is: there ARE people” NOT “there is people” - that is totally wrong. I hate Francophones who can’t even learn English properly.
@@TheonlyoneLordlahire have you learned proper English yet?! And have you taken into consideration with what I told you in correcting your poor English?!
@@TheonlyoneLordlahire have you taken into consideration with what I said?! Have you corrected your poor English?! Probably not. All Quebecers are stubborn separatists
once went there for my friends military training graduation ceremony, went to a convenient store and was completely unlucky, good things my friends knew french because man was I bad at it
Quebec is also very beautiful and does have a lot of history especially considering the wars that led to Canada coming under British rule from the French all began in Quebec City and was also part of the original four in Confederation. Education is one of the best. The people are mostly friendly but there are a few that will give English people a hard time even if they are trying to speak french. My daughter moved to Quebec and couldn't speak a word of French but within five years she was working the help line at the telephone company so it's not too hard to adjust and feel like home. My daughter moved it there and will not leave.
Some are hostile toward english, yes, because of how they are treated in Canada. You cant deny the Anti Quebec sentiment in Canada, the accepted 'racism' agaunst Quebecers. It seems that, in Canada, you cant be racist or hateful unless uts again the Quebec.
But its a minority of Quebecois that are hostile. Most of us are very friendly, if you respect us, which many Canadiand do no.
I really enjoyed the video information and learn new updates in the Canadian country
I’m also Canadian 🇨🇦 I really enjoy watching Tyler . He’s funny and has a great personality make me laugh 😅. Much love to you Tyler from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️
As a Manitoban who has been to 20 countries and who has travelled all over Canada and the USA, I love my city of Winnipeg and my province of Manitoba. I’ve also lived out east (Ontario and Québec). Our provincial license plate states “Friendly Manitoba,” so don’t be fooled by the negative info. We’re lovely, helpful people.
I've lived in Winnipeg for over 60 years. I have never heard such crap -- the video, I mean - Not your comment - I agree with your comment. Winnipeg is a beautiful, friendly and affordable city. Yes, house prices are incredible compared to other cities in the country. The video that Tyler is watching is simply garbage.
On my way to Alberta I overnighted in Manitoba and happened upon a Resort just preparing to switch from Winter functions to Summer and they let me stay anyway for 3 days. I went horseback riding while an employee washed my car and cooked me the greatest meal I ever. They made feel so welcome I stayed 3 days instead of one. Also Manitoba is home to the famous Cockatoo Pebble. She blast her dad Kelly to thy kingdom come with her swearing at him and the stories she tells make the hair on head stand up straight 😂 #IloveManitoba
@@Doreana48501 thank you for sharing this heartwarming story. I’m so happy to hear you had a lovely time in this prairie province.
Manitoban here also! I did not expect we would have top spot, but I was surprised to find we placed 10th in this video.
@@CobraXXVI I feel the same way. Our city and province seems to be a well kept secret!
Saskatchewan comes from Cree kisiskatchewan which means " swift flowing water". This refers to two main rivers in the province. Saskatchewan also has the most diverse landscape in Canada. This is going from north to south, not east to west. We are a well kept secret for diversity of geography.
Well said! I’d also like to add that, as a lifelong Gapper, I’d say that Saskatchewan people aren’t always the friendliest people on first meeting - we’re kind of wary of strangers in our communities, but if that/those stranger(s) need help, you probably won’t find more helpful and selfless people anywhere on earth!
I feel this is true of Manitoba too. SK and MB get picked on so bad but they really are gems. Though I think MB gets the edge for not being land locked and having more Canadian Shield. 😆
Thank you for that. I never knew 😊 in Qc we definitely dont hear and learn enough about the Canadian prairies, I ll go uncover your secrets one day ❤️
Are the names Saskatchewan and Saskatoon related, or is their similarity merely coincidental?
@@gregblair5139 Saskatoon is from a Cree word "Mis-sask-quah- toomia" which is for a local edible red/deep blue berry. They are Saskatoon Berries. Also called June Berries in part of USA. Someone told me it's called by another name in the States but I can't remember what. Across northern Ontario you hear a lot of "wawa" in the local names. I gather this is a Cree word for water or running water.
I live in NB and I love it!! Most people are so friendly and it’s amazing!!! By the way I’m glad you are so honest!! It’s nice to hear the ups and downs of everything!!
Just recently started watching your videos and loved it.
I'm from PEI (but currently living in Japan) and can honestly say that it's one of the best places to live-- or visit!--on the planet. The people are friendly, the landscapes are stunning, the food and cultural products are out of this world, and you will feel safe, welcome, and inspired each day. Thank you for highlighting Canada and all of our special and wonderful regions/provinces/territories!
Boy did we suffer during quarantine tho... Half our money is tourist revenue. Although I did rent a cottage for $300 for five days with three bedrooms
Nova Scotia was mentioned in the song by Carly Simon (I think) supposedly about Wayne Newton, “You’re So Vain”.
Alberta is the oil capital of Canada.
@allaneisner4729 Carly Simon did sing "You're So Vain" but I heard it was about Warren Beatty. Not sure we'll ever know, it'll just continue to be one of those mysteries.
@@allaneisner4729
Yes, Carly Simon names Nova Scotia in that song.
Great catch.
🇨🇦 I grew up in Saskatchewan, moved to Alberta and now live and have raised a family in BC. I was lucky enough to see most of the USA and some of Europe and Africa. I think WINNIPEG is the most UNDER RATED city in Canada!!! Sorry about the weather though…❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
The wind... blew me away - literally lolol
I was born and raised in Calgary and still live here. I have lived in North Africa for 5 years as a teenager, I have seen Switzerland a bazillion times (my parents are from Zurich), I have seen Kenya, Thailand, and Malaysia. I have been to Wyoming when I was like 5, Hawaii when I was 11, California, Las Vegas twice, and Orlando.
I agree. I've lived in Saskatchewan and parts of Europe. Work wise could live basically anywhere in the world.
I still choose to live in Winnipeg.
I've lived in Winnipeg for my entire life, the weather is the only thing I like about it, with the exception that the summers are starting to get to hot, but I do love the November winter winds, as for the rest of Winnipeg it's basically a dumpster fire that they should just let burn completely to the ground and start over from scratch.
I’m from Ontario. Been many places in Canada and the world. I live in Winnipeg and LOVE it.
When it comes to wages, the rule of thumb (especially in Alberta) is that wages increase the farther north you go because the winters are cold (seasonal averages are around -25°C to -30°C) and last 6-7 months solid, cities are farther away from the smaller towns, and when you get far enough north communities are separated by a minimum of an hour drive.
Quebec is the birthplace of Canada in many respects. Industry started first along the Lachine Canal before Ontario was even a province. Montreal was the largest metropolis in Canada until appx 1980. Quebec has a complex but interesting history. Montreal is a beautiful city where at least half the population speaks very good English. They welcome foreigners, and Quebecers, both French and English, love Americans. Jackie Robinson, the first black man to play in baseball major leagues got his start playing in Montreal. His former house now bears a historic plaque.There's a Robert De Niro film shot in Montreal - The Score, and it's scenes represents the city quite well.
Quebec City is a jewel, a North American treasure and probably a UNESCO world heritage site. It's the oldest city in Canada after St John's, NL.
Quebec is desperately trying to protect its language and culture, but don't begrudge them this, they are a shrinking part of Canada due to a low birth rate, and ignore the political BS. Without Quebec, Canada would just be Ohio North. If you get stuck speaking French you can download an app that translates on your phone. I doubt if you'll ever need it though.
If variety is the spice of life then Quebec will knock your socks off. You get old world European charm with all the modern conveniences and restaurants with cuisine from every corner of the globe. And the most beautiful women on planet Earth.
Speaking of women, one of the more shocking thing I noticed is how comfortable they are approaching men. They tend to make the first move, in comparison to more conservative places like Europe or the US.
The culture over there puts men and women on equal footing. Amazing province. Had so much fun! 😁
Montreal was also home of Canada's first federal capital till it burnt.
Only if ethnically Caucasian women fit one's description of beauty. That is a pretty narrow-minded world view Imo
Being from BC, I love my province and wouldn't want to live anywhere else, but I would absolutely love to visit Quebec! It has a historical feel that the rest of Canada doesn't have
Victoria was my favourite city in BC. I love the museum and night life there. Unfortunately, I lived in Nanaimo, which I found kind of miserable. So my stay in BC was probably shorter than it should have been.
Highly recommend Quebec City. It feels like you are in Europe. It's surreal. St. John New Brunswick, Halifax and Charlottetown are all really cool older city/towns as well but in there own unique way. Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa have a lot of the major historical spots in Canada but they are definitely gentrified/modernized at this point. Those other place still feel very authentic to what they mightve look like 200 plus years ago.
You will be more than welcome! If you can even say 10 words in French we might even want to hug you! XD
I'm from Montreal, Quebec and i'd like to visit BC. The only Province in Canada where I haven't been... You guys have the best weather (at least in winter :P) and the most beautiful landscape. If it wasn't so expensive I'd def consider moving there :).
@@oliverbloom4508 before I started my masters 5 years ago I took 3 weeks off and traveled most of Canada (no territories, newfoundland or Vancouver Island... to hard to get too). Vancouver to me is the most beautiful city. I remember paddle boarding on the ocean looking back at the city seeing the mountains in the background. It was incredible. That said I'm from Toronto, if I were to live anywhere else it'll be Niagara Region. I do love Montreal as well though.
I'm from Quebec City, Quebec. Although French is the official language, many people speak english as well. The french language is at the heart of many disagreements between Quebec and the other provinces. Generally speaking Quebec is less influenced by the British "empire" culture than the rest of the other provinces.
Quebec City is the cradle of French civilization in North America and Old Quebec has kept most of its early 17th century architecture. The American (Continental Army) actually tried to invade Canada (see Battle of Quebec) in 1775.
It is a very safe place to live and people are welcoming and open-minded... for the most part... lol... Fun fact: Poutine was invented in Quebec 😉.
When people think of Canada, they think of snow and freezing cold weather, but we have 4 very different seasons. I invite you to visit during Summer (June - August being the warmest months) if cold is not your cup of tea... lol
Thank you so much for taking an interest in our friendly country 😊
poutine - jean paul roy 1964 ... le secret est dans la sauce!!😁
The people are often seem to dislike anyone who isn't Quebec born (except Quebec city, for some reason). But I'm almost certain you guys have the best snow removal in the world. Impressive and efficient would be an understatement.
You've probably heard of Alberta, as its home to West Edmonton Mall, which boasted not only the worlds largest mall for a long time, but the worlds largest indoor roller-coaster. Sadly its outranked now, and the Mindbender had to be decommissioned for safety reasons, but the mall itself still has a full indoor waterpark, ice rink, lake, pirate ship, movie theatre and 800+ shops. worth a visit if youre ever in the area, at least to say youve been!
Technically West Edmonton Mall is the biggest mall in North America... The biggest mall in the world is In Dubai or somewhere like that.
Love the stark difference between "crime, bad education, everyone leaves" 10th place vs "bad weather but amazing ppl and scenery" 9th place lmao
My comments:
-Vancouver: to help you remind yourself where it is, you can associate it with Seattle. Both cities are basically 150 miles apart from one another, and they share the very same weather.
-New-Brunswick is indeed in the only official bilingual province. "Official" is the keyword here. Quebec is the only "official" french province (ie: they don't consider english as an official language for provincial matters, only french). But on the federal level, Canada is officially bilingual (they provide services to all citizens in english or french, to the citizen's preference).
-Quebec is pronounced : "Kay-Beck". So you got it right.
-Although officially french, Montreal city is effectively bilingual. I know of many english-speaking-only people that have been living in Montreal for years. Almost everyone in Montreal is bilingual, and some Montreal neighbourhoods are almost exclusively english (although they will all provide service in french, to the customer's preference without a hitch)
-Territories: everything is crazy expensive up there, since everything is basically air-shipped (groceries, clothes, vehicles, everything..). A lot of communities are only accesible by flight. Ever seen the History channel show "Ice Pilots NWT" ? That's exactly what they do: they fly merchandise to the communities in the territories.
Even tho most people can speak to you in English if you come to Montréal, please learn French if you want to have the full experience of living there, unless you'll stay in your anglophone west-of-the-island bubble.
Yukon Territory: Goods are generally trucked up the Alaska Highway, but yes things are more expensive due to shipping to our remote location. On the other hand, we have the cleanest air and water Up Here and the landscape is beautiful.
@@maxencefenoll9823 I do agree with this. My comment was really meant to encourage to come to Montreal even if you don't speak french. Once you are exposed to it on all the signs, restaurant menus, etc for a while, you start to understand more and more of a foreign language.
@@alexhebert8613 i understand but I'm more an advocate of learning french before coming, because someting that people don't know is that learning french here is harder than other places. Most of Quebecers are too nice and will switch to English automaticaly if they hear an english accent.
Quebec is pronounced “Keh • Bek”
Que is pronounced “Kay” in Spanish. It’s “Keh” in French. And yeah he said it right.
I moved from Ontario to Newfoundland with my mom a couple of days ago and I'm enjoying my time here. It's a beautiful and unique province. She's yet to find a house though so her and I are living with my grandparents. Everyone who was born in Newfoundland has accents that are almost similar to an Irish one. It even has its own time zone.
I’m Newfoundland 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
I would have put newfoundland way higher but that's just personal opinion
The accents are mostly due to how outports were effectively isolated communities for centuries, it preserved a lot of language.
Also, Str. John's should not be the basis for the provinces weather. the factors creating its weather do not even affect the entire Avalon peninsula.
@@kaylagardiner8790 look I'm a newfoudlander I was just surprised we wrent number 10 we should be hire but the methods used to rank is the main reason we got number 9.
Its definitely true about the Newfie accent, my granny was born & raised in Newfoundland & her accent always stronger when came to Ontario from visiting family there.
11:15 turns out PEI was named after Queen Victoria's father, who was commanding British troops in Canada at the time.
Love your channel. You're so funny plus i get to learn about my own country lmao. Great idea for a channel seriously good job 👏
I'm dying on the hill that Alberta has the most gorgeous nature (from the hoodoos and cavern rock formations in Drumheller, to the mountains, lakes, hot springs and rivers of Jasper and Banff) to the glacier fields and beyond. but politically, I could die of embarrassment
I hope the premier choice goes the way you want today😁
100% agree with this...
@@bettyrose1347 I’m hopeful that we will go the same way today too!
Hard agree. I do love my province, but politically? The Canadian Texas.
I love Alberta. I love so many of the beautiful landscapes, and people. Despite what we may present, we have a vibrant arts community as well. Unfortunately, politically.....it's anything but beautiful. I'm often embarrassed to say that I'm from here.
Newfoundland is the island. Labrador is on the mainland but almost no one lives there. The main highway is an epic trek across vast stretches of moose pasture, hours between houses. Together they are officially The Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It only joined Canada in 1949. It was a quasicountry / colony / dominion before that. Interesting story to check out.
Hey, thanks for the info about NFLD and Labrador. I’m an Albertan, and embarrassingly, I didn’t know which was which. As an Albertan, I’ve come to know many “Newfies” and all of them are wonderful and friendly people.
Why is this narrator so negative? He must be from Ontario which needs to get over itself. SASK IS NOT MUCH FLAYER THAN BORING ONTARIO
WHEN YOU HAVE SEEN NIAGARA FALLS YOU HAVE SEENIT ALL.
As someone from Nova Scotia, born and raised, I was shocked and happy to see how much NS was bragged up here, it's often overlooked
The thing you need to take into account when hearing about the median household income, especially in ontario, is that the cost of living is much higher. A small family home costs half a million dollars. Groceries for one single person right now cost an average of $300-$350/week. Per person, not per household. And the median income is only so high because we got billionaires and more government jobs (which are difficult to get but pay VERY good salaries) here. Most entry-level jobs pay minimum wage or just barely above. I have a decent job, with an overnight premium, but still only make around $42k.
Btw Tyler if you want to visit Quebec, although we're french speaking at home, almost everyone is fluent in english in bigger cities (Montreal is more english than french tbh, Quebec city, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivieres, Gatineau, and many more), and even more fluent when they work in touristic-oriented jobs and restaurants. I'd say if you come to a place like mine (region of Mauricie around Trois-Rivières) then you may end up in *some* places where people will have a hard time understanding, but still.... There is almost always someone in the building who will gladly help you / the employee to understand each other. :) I enjoy your vids too, keep it up it's super friendly, have a nice day!
Except for ndg,westmount and some part of north montreal it's mostly French.
As a montreal native i can confirm that most everywhere in Quebec English is spoken by someone. Older folks in small towns might struggle a bit, but younger people, bigger cities and touristy destinations always have someone who can translate. But locals especially love it if tourists at least learn a phrase or two of French to make an effort.
@@musicthief75 J'ai vécu la majorité de ma vie à Montréal.
Young people are usually bilingual fluent and zoomer are even trilingual fluent.
@@deathbringer00 ses vidéos sont super interessant
hahahhha I'm only 10 min in and laughing out loud!! I'm Canadian and appreciate you trying to educate anyone who may be interested. Having lived , traveled and worked all over Canada, I can say that we are pretty great people for the most part, but also having traveled the states, I have found Americans to be MORE than lovely. I think as a group, people can make dumb decisions , but as individuals, we are all so kind and helpful to our fellow man/woman-other. We are more alike than different. If we leave the provincial/state stereotypes out of it, North America is AMAZING. Thanks so much for this video! Great work and great sense of humor! I'm from Nova Scotia, just watched your thoughts on NS and yes, it is BEAUTIFUL!
You are so funny. I love your personality. Thanks for all the amusing videos about Canada. 🇨🇦
If you want an idea of Newfoundland friendliness, the musical “come from away” does a great job of it (it’s about a the passenger’s of plains redirected to an old airfield by a small town during 9/11 when the US airspace closed)
Armed forces veteran here. Best part of serving is being posted across Canada. There isn’t a bad province if you love nature. I am getting more partial for the west coast now, but that could be because I’m getting ready for another Manitoba winter.
The east generally underestimates the beauty of British Columbia with our numerous mountains and Pacific Ocean. Along with Alberta, we have the best top skiing resorts in Canada. Vancouver is close to Whistler, famous in all of North America. As is Sunpeaks.
Vancouver, in Southern BC lies on the Pacific Ocean and has numerous sandy beaches, and three skiing resorts within a short drive. The weather is mild, many winters without any snow.
The Capital City, Victoria is situated on Vancouver Island, a 1 1/2 hour ferry ride from Vancouver. We have a wonderful skiing resort on the island and the best surfing in Canada in Tofino on the west coast of the island.
Now you know why real estate is so expensive here. And BTW, BC is known as Hollywood North given that hundreds of movies and TV series (;including Netflix) are filmed here.
I really enjoyed this reaction video
Fun Fact: Up until commercial jetlines became the norm, the airport in Gander, Newfoundland was the international entry point for North America. Because of Gander's historical importance, experience, and location, this and the surrounding area is where international flights had to ground when the events of September 11th closed North American airspace. A few cool videos about that on YT.
I'm from New Brunswick, and I can attest to the fact it's pretty boring. A few fun things here and there, but outside of places like Fredericton, Moncton, and St. John, most places have a "nice, small town" feel. Also, Nova Scotia is by far my favourite place, from beautiful lands to awesome friendly people and the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo and that's always awesome.
Another fun fact: Saskatchewan is also home to the Canadian equivalent of the US' Blue Angels (airshow jet pilots), the Snowbirds :)
You should do a series on Mexico next. As a Canadian, I'm ashamed to admit I know as much about Mexico as you did about Canada, probably. Would be nice to learn along with you

The reason Quebec is first is because Trudeau is from Que. he should have stayed there.
Excellent video. I think this is difficult to compare each province with each other because each one is unique on its own. Anyways, I do like to follow you Tyler! ;)
Prince Edward Island now has a bridge connecting it to the mainland. On the other hand, to reach Newfoundland from mainland requires a long ferry ride ($$$) to one of 2 ports, neither of which is near a city.
As an Anglophone living in Quebec I do love my home. I'm surprised at its ranking though since Quebec generally tends to get a lot of flak from other Canadians outside of it.
if you don't like where you live , what's keeping you from getting the FUCK OUT.
I live outside Québec and yes people outside of Quebec do not like that much that province (I like Québec because I speak French and in Ontario it’s only like 2% that speak French) but it’s because they did 2 vote to separate from Canada so they can become there own country and people joke about that but it’s not that they hate it it’s friendly joke like when you travel a bridge to go to Québec you hear people joking saying get your passport out
Screw KWABEK
Nova Scotia here.
Joking I’m sorry.
@@Samyb2007 I agree. I live in Québec, but separatists are fewer & fewer with time. Mostly from the older generations. Younger generations are more bilingual and see no reason to separate. I think that regardless of language, we can all get along together, we have much more in common than language differences.
Screw KWABEK
Saskatchewan here.
Sorry I'm not joking.
Aside from a couple of shots, nearly all the footage from Manitoba (or at least anything that looks like a city) is the City of Winnipeg. Winnipeg is home to almost 60% of the province's population (750,000 out of 1.3 million estimated), and is home to the Winnipeg Jets in the NHL. It is also home to the only national museum outside of Ottawa, and the Royal Canadian Mint's coin operations.
Manitoba itself is directly north of the states of North Dakota and Minnesota, so you see a lot of licence plates from those states in Winnipeg.
Fun fact - A small peninsula that belongs to Minnesota can only be accessed by land from Manitoba. Known as the Northwest Angle, it's the only part of the United states outside of Alaska that is north of the 49th parallel.
Second fun fact - The International Peace Garden is located and shared between Manitoba and the US state of North Dakota. You can cross the border freely within the park without going through customs, but once you leave the park, you must report to customs. The entrance to the park is right in the middle of the two border checkpoints.
Where does point Robert's fit in your opinion?
@@vmitchinson it too is a peninsula only accessible from BC, however it is south of the 49th. NW Angle has the odd distinction of being a small bump that goes north of the line.
Probably all footage from Manitoba was shot by a Mosquito(about as big as a "Bayraktar TB2" from Turkey - drone that can suck a Moose dry.)
You forgot Winnipeg's nickname, Winterpeg
@@bunzeebear2973You’ve obviously not been here for at least 10 years. Practically live outside in summer. No problems with mosquitoes.
24:52 it’s actually a big think in Quebec, we do some on the frozen lake very fun to do some snowmobile or idk how to say this in English but do a walk in snow 😂
I live in Winnipeg, MB have a high paying job and feel safe living here. It's not the most exciting city more quiet and laid back but it does have a lot to offer and as our licence plates say, "Friendly Manitoba" we are a great bunch.
Trust me..being a Manitoban…we got thrown under the bus. We have BEAUTIFUL sunsets and beaches…boreal forests…and yes some of the most IMPRESSIVE northern lights!!
I agree, but then you have Winnipeg. BTW, I'm from Minnedosa, MB.
I've been to Winnipeg in November, and to Flin Flon in January. These experiences alone make me want to never again visit Manitoba :)
I tend to agree. They didn't say anything good about Manitoba.
Then again, I'm one of the people who moved out of Manitoba ...
... to move to the second-lowest province of Newfoundland. Oh well. I'm proud to be from the two lowest-ranked provinces.
Well someone has to be at the bottom.. just sayin.. 😂 although from Sk i was kinda expecting to see it as 10 LOL 🤪
And technically the whole country is good overall, esp considering other places in the world. 👍🏼😏
You've been to Flin Flon,God has truly blessed you. INSH'ALLAH!
Je suis Québécoise. I'm from Québec. We do pronounce it Kébek, no "u". I was surprised myself that we are at #1 because of our tax rate, BUT it seems that being taxed is not so bad after all. We are proud of our culture and language. French is sacred over here, and sometimes we are not understood because of that. But, I do believe that it is the best place to be in the world. We are privileged and we are so grateful for it. Thanks for your interest in our country. Canada is one of, if not the best, place to live. Thanks for sharing your curiosity and help our best neighbours to know us better. 👍
I agree, but Quebec might not be the best place in the world, among the best may be, but I consider Morroco, the Scandinavian countries, South Korea, Austalia, New Zealand, Turkey, Slovenia, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Uruguay.

About an American song mentioning Nova Scotia, that's "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon.
Canada has 10 provinces but let's not forget also the 3 territories : Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, which are often left out of "videos about Canada" ❤
Vancouver is Canada's Hollywood. You'd be shocked to find out how many AMERICAN movies and TV shows are filmed there (Like all the DC shows). Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island is by far my favourite spot in all of Canada. Alberta, millions of years ago, was a sea and as a result, is rich in prehistoric fossils. Drumheller, AB is home to the Royal Tyrell Museum, and one of the largest dinosaur sites in the world. Also the filming location for Ghostbusters Afterlife. It is home to hoodoos and sandstone hills and a must-see. West Edmonton Mall, the the provincial capitol is the largest indoor shopping centre in the world (at least the last time I checked) complete with a hotel, theme park, indoor water park, ice rink, and of course, a pirate ship. Unlike what the narrator mentioned, the oil reserves in Alberta are far from depleted, it's just deep and more costly to extract, but when we start drifting away from oil, the north of Alberta and Saskatchewan are rich in Uranium and by that time, we'll be ready to go nuclear. The only thing I've had better than Alberta Beef is Bison and Moose, which you can also get here. The food in Alberta is epic. I have found a few great places in various other parts of the country, but the best was always Alberta with the exception of seafood, which you need to head to either coast for.
Quebec is French with the exception of Montreal where there are many who speak English. New Brunswick is both English and French. A lot of the other provinces are English but still "French-friendly", offering fully french schools in some areas, but are, for the most part, just English. I would argue against Quebec being the best place to live in Canada but my primary argument is that you need to learn a new language to get by there and that they are anti-english.
100 % accurate.
A lot are filmed in Toronto too, especially when they want a new York-esque type city.
Quite a few American Actors actually have homes here in Vancouver as well as New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and many of the other provinces…
As a vancouverite, I’ve ran in to Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell on numerous occasions while I was out shopping 😂
Canadians don’t care if they are actors or musicians.. just that they aren’t dicks in public. 🤣🤣 lmfao
Most Québécois are bilingual or can at least have simple conversation in English, as we have mandatory English class in school (started in grade 4 when I was young, now they start in grade 1) and you can't obtain your high school diploma without it. If you are a tourist who can't speak French, you will often find someone who can help you, but if you plan to move here, it is expected of you that you learn at least some basic French.
Montréal was very English friendly, no communication problems for the week I spent there.
@@CallowG True, I think Montreal is 50% Anglophone. Most English native speakers of Quebec are in the Montreal area.
The farther you are from Montreal, the less English you hear. Where I live, it's 95% French - but most people can understand enough English to help you anyway. 😊
It's more when you go to actual Québec city where it's get hard and more judgmental about English and also most of the older's generations ain't even gonna try to speak English to you. outside of Québec city you should be fine to speak English. Sorry I'm a french Québecois so if hard to read/understand i do my best to learn and write English!
@@maryseflore7028 This is a misconception. People who's first language in Montreal is only 14% just because of tourism and a high percentage of people who can speak English it seems bigger than it is.
This is inaccurate in my experience as a Francophone Québécois. Many *Montrealers* and people in the outaouais are bilingual... the vast majority of the province isn't, and you won't find much english help there. That being said, thanks to the internet I do expect that over a few decades/a generation or 2 that will change and English willb ecome much more common even in remote areas like Gaspé, Lac St-Jean, Beauce, Iles de la madeleine, etc
i live in Moncton new-Brunswick, new Brunswick is fun if you like doing outdoor stuff, 4 wheeling off roading hiking fishing camping etc... theres lots of events in moncton on a regular basis concerts plays etc...
im from st.johns newfoundland.. we used to be two separate provinces but they combined us with Labrador some years ago for whatever reason. weathers not all that bad to be honest but when it is bad it tends to be really bad. its like 30 degrees and sunny here today.
Fun fact about Labrador: it used to belong to Quebec, but was given to Newfoundland by the English crown. Quebec has never officially recognised that transaction in any official document.
Merci ! Je savais que j'avais appris ça quelque part.
Vraiment? Je ne savais pas ca.
When France abandoned New France under the Treaty of Paris in 1763 because the colony had become too expensive to maintain, all its territory fell to the British Crown. As settlement in Newfoundland predated that of Quebec, settling the contentious status of Labrador in favour of Newfoundland does make understandable sense. And Quebec was subsequently given jurisdiction over the District of Ungava which increased the size of the Province immensely. So the Crown taketh away, but the Crown also giveth.
Note: When they say Saskatchewan is dangerous it's all relative. Atlanta on a Sunday afternoon after church is hundreds of times more dangerous than anywhere in Saskatchewan!
Yes, the RCMP are always reminding people to even lock their cars and homes because there is so little crime that were very Trusting!
Yeah. Everywhere in canada is except for the DTES, Thompson, North Battleford and Kelowna.
Tyler, the best way for you to learn about our provinces is to add the adjacent U.S. states to your map, and see what's "next door". Just an idea ! Keep your videos coming....as I really enjoy them !!
Hi! Thanks again for your so refreshing videos. I am form Québec (The prononciation in the video is correct) and yes it's a french province but you can express yourself in english in the big city like Montréal and Québec and more so don't be afraid to come visit us, you will be very welcome.
You may have heard Nova Scotia referred to in Carly Simon's iconic song "You're So Vain". As a Canadian who has visited all 10 Canadian provinces (I live in Alberta), all the provinces are pretty good places to visit and to live. Canadians, in general, are friendly people. And Canada is one of the safest countries to visit. The biggest drawback (outside of Vancouver Island) is the weather. Winter is LONG here.
I'm in Northern Alberta. You're right. Winter weather starts in October and ends in May lol
Right…’to watch a total eclipse of the sun’ 😄
If you like the European feel of Montréal and Québec City, this province is for you. Québec City is one of the oldest fortified cities in N.America. Cobblestoned streets, narrow alleyways, ancient battlements, built on a cliff overlooking the St Lawrence seaway along with a haunted ghost history dating back to the 1600s. Québec is a unilingual province (French) with the only bi-judicial system in Canada meaning that our law system is based on the Civil Law system (or once called, the Napoleanic law system) for everything related to the province while Criminal law falls under the British Commonwealth system like the rest of the country. Québec is the only province that has its own Law making system that is not Federal with the National Assembly in Québec City (our equivalent of the House of Commons in Ottawa.) A rich and diverse history that started back in 1534 when the French explorer Jacques Cartier landed on the shores of the St Lawrence river and claimed the land for France, calling it New France. New France was lost to the British after a years-long war that ended in 1769 when after the siege of Québec City by General Wolfe, General Montcalm surrendered to the British army. To keep peace with the French colonists and their Native American allies, the British Crown drew up the Québec Act of 1774 allowing the French to keep their religion, way of life and language which is why to this day, the province is still unique. Not to mention, the thousands of Irish that fled to Québec during the 17th century to escape persecution from the British and helped build the province along with many Scots. The French also had an amazingly close bond with the Native American nations for trade and commerce until the British took over and had the Nations sign a treaty forbidding them to interact with the French and cut all ties with them, if not, they were threatened by the Crown with death and destruction to their villages. The British hated the fact that the French population intermingled and married the Native Americans (Métis). Another interesting fact is that Québec is not part of the Canadian Constitution...that is another story for another time.
It is a beautiful, historic province, but very prejudiced against anglophones
As an Ontarian I laugh as a French language province I give Quebec credit as more Quebecers speak English than anyone else speaks French in Canada , you want to talk to the tourists you have so Kudos Quebec .... Beautiful province ... love the Eastern Townships .... Love You Guys
I just recently found your channel. I hope you ended up doing an episode about each Province. 🍁 Casa Loma in Ontario, Old Quebec in Quebec, Fundy National Park in New Brunswick just to name a few things I would love to see your reaction to.
Winnipeg is actually a fantastic city. It is multicultural, has two official languages (English and French), has an Indigenous culture that is integral to the Manitoba way of life. The cost of living is low. The unemployment rate is low. Our economy is diverse. There are festivals throughout the year. It boasts a robust art scene. Our air and water are clean. Summers here are beautiful. Manitoba was named one of Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel for 2019.
I traded my shovel, my bug zapper, and block heater for an umbrella 20 years ago.
Winnipeg is also the hard drug capital of Canada meaning thats wheres theres the most hard drug users ( like crack ) and there's some very violent gang in that area.
@@Patatetbk Yes, I remember well! Scary place to live with all the gang violence and the street drug trade. There are a few nice places (The Forks) but even the gentrified, trendy downtown neighbourhoods aren't safe anymore.
@@Patatetbk ya that's not a fact ever heard of Hastings in Vancouver go check that out
@Wowenne - you blind or something?! Winnipeg is THE MOST RACIST CITY IN ALL OF CANADA. DO NOT BELIEVE ME?? THEN LOOK IT UP. THAT WAS EVEN ON THE FRONT COVER OF MacLean’s (a weekly Canadian news magazine) MAGAZINE. I WOULD NEVER WANT TO LIVE THERE - Plus you guys have the PST, no thanks.
Oh and FYI New Brunswick is the ONLY province with both English and French as its official languages.
British Columbia really is paradise. Our basic family home cost $1.3 million. We can only afford it because we’ve been in the market for 25 years and started purchasing when housing was much cheaper. Vancouver/Victoria rarely get any snow at all. In the middle of the province, we get just enough to have a fantastic ski season in the winter and lake sports in the summer. Highly recommend it for tourists.
Watch Vancouver is dying
It might change your mind about moving there
@@jude900 I grew up in Vancouver and have lived in Kelowna now for 20 years. All big cities are too big for me. I visited last week and it was busy, but gorgeous. More drug addiction than before, but that is true everywhere unfortunately.
The Okanagan Valley has better weather and is much more affordable than Vancouver. Especially if you like the quiet country life.
I used to live and in Van. Don't like it much anymore.
Manitoba Rocks ! ! we get an 80 or more degree temperature difference from summer to winter! minus 40 (or more) to plus 40! (DEGREES CELSIUS)
Great video, Tyler. As a Canadian, I’m really enjoying your videos and watching as you learn about our great country! Nova Scotia may ring a bell from hearing Carly Simon’s classic “You’re So Vain” in which she mentions “you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun”. One of my favourite songs. As someone who was born in Manitoba (now living in Ontario) he really did gloss over some of the amazing things Manitoba has going on. Winnipeg has 3/4 of the entire population of the province, at 750,000 people, and there certainly are serious social issues in certain parts of the city. But he didn’t mention the arts scene, museums, pro sports, music and various festivals that take place there. There is so much more to Manitoba than the video states, but I get the sense that you know not to judge the book by its cover.
Check out BC more closely, especially Vancouver Island. Huge mountains beside the ocean and wonderful sandy beaches. If you like outdoor activities, there are very few we lack, skiing, deep sea diving, hiking, and even bathtub racing.
If it were just a tourism list ya.
I would recommend a trip to Nfld. Husband is from there and it is a very nice and authentic place to go and explore. Wouldn't live there as well...the weather of course and we live on Vancouver Island. I do have to say that Nfld feels like home (the out ports and fishing communities). The pubs and bars are more of a place to go and get screeched in and feel a part of everyones home and family. As far as recreation in the fishing communities there, winter is the best for activities like fishing, hunting and locals getting together to play music and eat crab and lobsters and stuffed squid and just have fun.
Proud New Brunswick resident , we have fun lol you are great, stayed up until 5am watching your videos, keep them coming eh 🍁
If you really want to know about each province you probably need to talk to the residents. At age 64 and a lifelong Manitoba resident, I love where I live and I think if you look outside the cities you’d find it’s a great place to live. I recommend the tv show Still Standing. Comedian Jonny Harris visits small towns across Canada. Check it out.
I agree, most people think of the bigger city within each province, and think that makes up the whole province. Each province has such nice (and many) small towns that get overlooked and not even thought of. In my opinion it's the many small towns that truly bring forth that "small town friendly Canada" feeling, which can get lost in the big cities.
@@Nikki7B Currently there's a huge divide between urban, rural and northern Canadians. I'm 89 years old and am sad the way our urban youth have lost their Canadianess.
As a person from Winnipeg, Manitoba I'd like to also say we are also know as Winterpeg and the Canadian Murder capital of Canada, my favorite season is construction Season...also know as Summer.
yeah but slurpee capital too....
The wife lived there as a little girl...she still shivers when you mention Portage & Main arrived in winter in the 70's with her Mom at the Greyhound station walked outside turned a corner and ended up blowing across the street with her Mom. Just so happened they arrived just as some " weather " was coming in. Took 2 big guy's to bundle her Mom and her into the car. First time she evr had the cold stop her breathing.
Technically Construction Season also includes Autumn and Spring.
Edmonton is the murder capital of Canada. Not Winnipeg. Winnipeg has a higher crime rate. Edmonton has a higher VIOLENT crime rate.
Ah, yes. Winterpeg, Manitscolda. Winnipeg's a funny place; you either love it or hate it. Personally I love the place --- it really is beautiful. Some people don't like it because the land is so flat, but once you get over that you'll realize the place has everything you could ever ask for.
Some of the locals have a love/hate relationship with Winnipeg too. Check out a local band "The Weakerthans" and their hit song "One Great City" (The chorus is "I Hate Winnipeg").
