Hello, Les and Wendy! As a brazilian planning to go to Canada to study and live, you guys are making me love Saint John! I'm really considering going there because of the way you talk about the city, and what you show on your videos! Thanks!
We have many viewers from Brazil and all over South America who will be coming here to study and live, so you will not be alone. We can't speak to how this area compares to Brazil, but we feel it's one of the absolute best cities in Canada to live. Thank you for watching.
The abundance of those gorgeous brick buildings is nothing short of spectacular 😳 That‘s almost unique in North America, isn‘t it? I hope the Johners keep preserving those buildings, I for one will come visit on my next trip back home.
Thank you 🙏 guys for showing around this beautiful town. We moved from Vancouver islands to Nova Scotia Cape Breton in 2021.and now we are moving to Saint Andrew New Brunswick soon.
I was one of the kids that took off to go live out west.. Came back to Saint John, and love the people here as well as now appreciate, the old buildings. Have you ever heard of a widows walk? At the top of some old homes there is a small window within a small room that sits above the homes roof-line. That was so the wives could watch for their sailor husband's boat to come in..Why call it a widow's walk.. Well many sailors didn't make it home. I live in Rothesay now..Homes are huge and beautiful. You should take the old road to Rothesay, I often meet the tour busses from the cruise ships on that road.. Wourth the drive, and you pass a few marinas, lots of sail boats out on the weekends.. Beautiful!!
Irish is the predominant influence, but overall yes, it's British. They call this the Loyalist city because of the impact the settlers who were loyal to the Crown had here after the American revolution. Wendy and I both have very British backgrounds and this is what makes Saint John feel very much home to us.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn dual citizens here w/ Britain and a very homesick spouse. It's the Maritimes or he will keep on sailing back across the ocean for good!
At 4:10 is so BEAUTIFUL. Princess street I believe you said. And by the way hello 👋🏼 🤗 From Hamilton 😕😣….. I just subscribed to your channel. After months and months of looking to relocate. I stumbled upon St.John, which I’m SO HAPPY I DID. Also really happy that I ran into your u tube channel as you both have given a lot of information I obviously need. Not to mention the street tour is exactly what I’m looking for before I head out to visit St.Johns myself, about a 2 week stay before finalizing my decision. Anyhow, thank you for all the info:) Really enjoying your videos and giggles☺️ lol☺️🌸🌸🌸 the best part!☺️
Thank you Mia, for your wonderful comment and for subscribing to our channel. At 4:10 of the video we were driving on Carmarthen St., crossing Princess. Uptown Saint John is filled with amazing architecture and a wonderful vibe. The whole city is just lovely, and we are so happy you are coming for a visit and considering relocating to this area. The whole purpose of our channel is to provide an outsider's perspective (we moved her 3 1/2 years ago from BC) to people thinking about relocating here that can't find much information about Saint John. You are exactly our target audience. If you aren't already working with a realtor in this area, Wendy would be happy to show you some homes while you're in town. This could give you a better understanding of just how much value there is here in Saint John compared to other cities. You can reach her by email: wendyduggan@royallepage.ca or by phone: (506)607-3095. There is absolutely no cost or obligation involved. We hope you enjoy your visit, and hope someday you will join the many other newcomers who love Saint John.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn you are very welcome. Here’s a note on the city market…if you look at the ceiling, you will notice that is looks like the hull of a boat. They did that on purpose to make it very unique.
Yall fall in love with saint john until you have been here for a while. I. From there and I moved away and visit every one and while and it get boring tbh
And that's the truth! I've lived here my whole life! It's because everyone retires here instead of their own province, so the majority of the population is elderly because of it! Every time you see a new building going up its another damn nursing home!
Amazing video.. my partner and I are from BC but during the time you shot this video we were living in Uptown and this video brings back memories. Just out of curiosity, where in BC are you from? We live on Vancouver island.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn Thats where my GF's family lives! Im glad you're happy in SJ, we enjoyed our stay but I do prefer the west coast in general. To each their own and again great video!
@@CarsonCameronClark Absolutely. Different things appeal to different people. My parents live in Parksville for years. I could live on the Island quite nicely but home prices there are still around triple what they are here.
Where are you from? What’s your story? We’re relocating to the Maritimes from BC. You seem to have so much enthusiasm for Saint John - it’s very refreshing.
I lived all my life in the Fraser Valley, and Wendy joined me there for 15 years before we moved to Saint John. Getting out of BC and coming to Saint John was the best decision we ever made.
St John is a beautiful place but watch out for the predators in the south in one by the Gary Lee Thorne he preys on children that are addicted to drugs and gains their trust and drugs and rapes them, the problem is he never gets caught because these unfortunate young prostitutes cannot go forward
@@anng7035 Oh, it is really cool. We enjoyed it far more than the BC ferries we used to take, and they have great reasonably priced food onboard too. The scenery is breathtaking and Digby is a very cute town on the Nova Scotia side. It's well worth taking, I just meant I'm not paying the price just to do a video. We do this for free after all.
Saint John is primarily English speaking but the whole province of New Brunswick is officially bilingual. There are definitely some French speaking residents here and all government services are offered in both languages, but you will find more French speaking people in both Fredericton and Moncton.
You had your chance. I told you so. What are you waiting for. You knew this would happen. It's not going to get better. What have you got against cheap houses and happiness. Insert high horse lecture here.
I'm falling the more in love with saint John...
Thank for what you do.
Glad to hear it. Thank you for watching!
Great tour! I love this town, the threes along the streets, the brick buildings and their architecture. I would love to wallk along those streets.
Thank you for watching. We definitely enjoy walking along the streets of Uptown.
Another great video Les and Wendy. The more I watch your guys videos the more I miss being back home in Saint John.
Thank you! Maybe it's time to come home.
I'm really starting to think that more and more everytime I see a new video from you guys. Be safe and have yourselves a great weekend!
@@thesportsguy416 Thank you, you as well.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn Thank you and you're very welcome! Cheers 🍻
i didn't know saint john was so beautiful
Neither did we until we came here.
been here all my life money makes life free
I’m from Hampton living in Ontario thanks for the view
Thank you for watching.

I love driving and this city drive is on my bucket list. Some of those buildings looks like you would see in Boston.
It is extremely beautiful place. Thanks for your video.

Great tour of the uptown. Thank you doing these videos.
Our pleasure, thanks for watching.
Awesome view
I love these tour videos. Nice camera work from the car! Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful Day!
Yes it was!
That's really gorgeous. Might have to check out Saint John. It looks very Scottish-Canadian settler architecture to me, which we love.

@@WeLoveSaintJohn Really enjoying all your tours. Reminds me of the (British) but mostly Scottish built towns here in the Ottawa valley.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn dual citizens here w/ Britain and a very homesick spouse. It's the Maritimes or he will keep on sailing back across the ocean for good!
My home town love it
Us too.
Thanks so much for this. Considering a job in Saint John, this makes me more comfortable about a possible move (from Calgary).
Glad it was helpful!
Love your videos would love to see some of the store and shopping in the UPTOWN area - keep up the great videos
Interested in independent shops
@cathystocks1680 Some of the old buildings are getting rehabilitated via gentrification.
Thanks for holding the camera outside the car, Wendy! the images were great.
Great! Thank you for the feedback.
Lovely

Looking to come back in the summer, came in the winter. From Dieppe. Excited to check out this place in summer.
Good plan!
Very nice
Heyyy Les & Wendy….love these vids…I often share with my American YT friends.

That is so great to hear. We need more smart people like you to keep this city moving forward.

Hi. New sub. here, watching from New York City. Look forward to visiting soon.
Thank you for subscribing and introducing yourself. We're glad you're here virtually, and hope you are able to visit soon.
169 more subscribers and you’ll be able to start doing live-streams. I can’t wait for that. Lol.
Sounds like work.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn you’ll be there and passed before you know it…I gaurentee. Lol

I lived my whole life in Abbotsford before moving here. I'll never go back except to visit family.

Wow more traffic!!!! Looks like rush hour...
Hi guys I'm thinking of moving to Saint john in a few years time can you guys please do a video on the malls and shopping areas please. Thank you
We have done several videos of shopping areas. Have a browse through the channel. With over 200 videos posted, there isn't much we haven't shown.
I am not 100% sure but I think Halifax is a much busier port than Saint John.
Depends by what measure. Port Saint John is the largest by volume in Atlantic Canada. And growing very quickly.
Where are you from? What’s your story? We’re relocating to the Maritimes from BC. You seem to have so much enthusiasm for Saint John - it’s very refreshing.
I lived all my life in the Fraser Valley, and Wendy joined me there for 15 years before we moved to Saint John. Getting out of BC and coming to Saint John was the best decision we ever made.
Can you drive from BC to St. John?
We did when we moved here. It took us a week.
Hello, I would like to know about school for children in St. John.
What would you like to know? There are plenty of schools and they are all good.
King’s Square and Queen Sq uptown are laid out in the pattern of the British Union Jack flag - check it out on google maps :)
I had not thought about that but it makes total sense. Thank you for that, very cool!
St John is a beautiful place but watch out for the predators in the south in one by the Gary Lee Thorne he preys on children that are addicted to drugs and gains their trust and drugs and rapes them, the problem is he never gets caught because these unfortunate young prostitutes cannot go forward
How about a video on the Fundy Rose going to Digby?
We'd have to sell Wendy's body to pay for it. That ferry is expensive.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn It looks really cool though. I would like to take it to go to Halifax. But I'll probably just end up driving there.
@@anng7035 Oh, it is really cool. We enjoyed it far more than the BC ferries we used to take, and they have great reasonably priced food onboard too.

I just moved out of saint john after 35 years please make a video of the boardwalk!
We have several videos of the boardwalk. I think we did one the same day as this one if you sort by date.
You said you guys are from Vancouver BC, what area?
We're from Abbotsford
At my house it was like 35
Once you get away from the Bay, it definitely gets hot. One more reason to love the west side.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn true but I'm a heat person
@@emma_13950 Ah, I see. You're one of "those". We don't like to sweat unless it's on purpose.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn lol true
Hello ,
Could you help me please ,
Which better in availability of international students jobs (Moncton ) Or ( Saint John)?
Both cities will have lots of jobs available.
Hi May I request if you could drive to St. John regional hospital?
Appreciated so much if you could grant my request 😊
Thank you
We did this in a video with the university UNB. Search CZcams with our channel name and UNB and you should find the video.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn I've watched it .Appreciated your reply. Thank you. :)
Reminiscent of Victoria
But prettier, cheaper, nicer ppl, less crime and older 😉
How much older is this city then Montreal?
Saint John was incorporated in 1785, Montreal was incorporated in 1832 (though it was settled in the 1600's)
Hi what would be temperature in August End
While every year varies, average temps at the end of August are around a high of 23c and low of 12c.
Do you know if it was easy to living here if i am french?
Saint John is primarily English speaking but the whole province of New Brunswick is officially bilingual. There are definitely some French speaking residents here and all government services are offered in both languages, but you will find more French speaking people in both Fredericton and Moncton.
As your loving sister I only have to say....you fuckers...having cool weather while I die in 47C

What is the youngest city in Canada?
Beaumont Alberta became a city in 2019.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn When did Montreal, Canada become a city?
St John seems to be more beautiful than Moncton.
Oh, it is. We mention in a couple of our videos that we compare Saint John to Moncton like Vancouver to Calgary.
@@WeLoveSaintJohn I live in Moncton moving to St John in few days. Also Lived in BC(Surrey/Richmond). Your videos are helpful. Thanks
