Hello, Of course, every citizen born in a country is, in general, a proud person of it, and this is easily understood. I was born in Canada (in Quebec), and I had the opportunity to live a good part of my life in Brazil, Costa Rica, France and Italy. I admit that I found that each country had its advantages, but also its disadvantages. However, today, back in Canada, I admit to finding myself truly at home, with its advantages and disadvantages as well... but it is here in Quebec that I feel the best and that I intend to finish my days, in peace, with my fellow citizens. Happy New Year 2023, to all of you and whatever nationality you are.

How fucking expensive is prescription medication in the USA?!! And I thought it was already expensive in Canada in my neck of the woods. Depending on wat the meds is it costs $0-$500/month but often cheaper due to healthcare plans and for those under 25yo. I remember growing up having to take 2 different medications for my autism and ADHD so I cud manage in school, this was b4 the under 25yo free medication went into effect, and my dad spending $450/month on 1 medication and $200/2months on the other. And to me that’s fucking expensive. If prescriptions in the USA costs much more then in canada I fear the apocalyptic price they have on it.

First, very few Americans know enough about daily life in Canada to be sure they'd be improving their situation. Second, they assume that they'd be welcomed into Canada with open arms. There's actually a long and complicated process associated with immigrating to Canada.

One thing I've noticed often about Americans, as I've traveled and lived in other countries, they seem to want to turn every place into the US. I'm currently in Latin America, and I often hear them calling for easier access to guns, and the implementation of the death penalty for example. It annoys people every where I've seen it happen and I doubt Canadians would be any more tolerant of that kind of bossy pants, superior attitude. I think more than many other countries, Canadians aren't that impressed with Americans these days, they don't view the US as the greatest country in the world, they don't pay coyotes or walk hundreds of miles to get there. It's fine for a warm vacation, but Mexico is better. There are a lot of Americans who wouldn't be very happy without that automatic high regard they seem to think they deserve.

Hi Tyler. I think the "Americans are arrogant and feel superior" thing is about patriotism. America is pretty much the only country where the citizens will tell you that theirs is the best country in the world (without being asked). Which is mystefying to most of the world, since a full half of Americans (or more) have never been to any other country. Canadians (I am one) have the same feeling about Canada.... but we don't make a point of telling people from other countries how ours is the best. It's impolite.

Hi Tyler, Canadian's here. We've watched most of your videos and they're great. While it makes us feel good about being Canadian, the truth is the U.S. is great as well, you're living proof.

I for the most part agree with the video and your comments. I'm 50 years old and when I was young, the US seemed awesome. I have a lot of family there. Being in Nova Scotia and the Atlantic Provinces being separated the way they are by Quebec from the rest of Canada, I often thought we'd be better off as part of the US. That changed though as I got older and the politics seemed to get nastier and nastier. I learned more about the racism that went on there and the gun laws are just insane. I imagine the only way to cope is to just ignore all the bad stuff going on instead living in a Nationalist bubble where people can imagine they are #1....when they are far from #1 in most areas that actually matter to individual citizens. After 9/11 you could see the collective brainwashing going on by those capitalizing on tragedy and it didn't take much to see that the fear mongering and hate towards Muslims could EASILY be redirected to hate against any group in the US now that those seeds had been planted. In Canada, there are still laws that prevent news organizations from spreading propaganda but the US has no such laws. Fox News and its opinion shows are a great example of how media can be used to rewrite history in the minds of a people. It is quite frankly, scary. Canada is not immune from what is going on in the US. In recent years, more and more are adopting US propaganda as fact and they simply will not listen to reason and now distrust Science and are becoming political extremists. Our only benefit over the US is we do have a more educated population who can critically assess information but that doesn't help when someone has such cognitive bias that they are eager to digest and accept information they want to hear regardless if it is true or not. The three other big things that pop to mind that have been going on since the video was made and are directly related to Canada's growth and the pandemic are: 1. A doctor shortage. We need more doctors in Canada and there has been talk for years about making it easier to recognize foreign credentials but it is all just talk until we see it starting to take effect. Our population has grown faster than our health infrastructure. 2. Housing crisis. There is a housing crisis now Canada wide with the cost of housing contributing to growing homelessness rates. We do not have enough affordable housing and every level of Canada's population is complaining about the cost of housing both purchasing and renting. People who make above the average household income are not able to afford a 2 bedroom apartment EVEN in rural areas now. COVID has kicked in a shift towards remote working and with it, the population has spread out so even apartments in rural areas will now go for the same amount as in cities. This is unheard of. I have heard all the woes of property owners but it boils down to they are taking advantage of a housing shortage by jacking up prices putting housing out of the reach of many. This should not be allowed to go on. It is too damaging to Canada as whole and to it's future. 3. Between inflation and the above, the cost of living is impacting immigrants willingness to come and stay in Canada. I'm not saying they are picking the US either but they are picking other Countries where life is just easier. There are a lot of videos by immigrants saying why they left Canada, the Government needs to start watching those and addressing the issues. The one question I do have is, does the US Government not publish a budget so you know where your tax dollars are going to be spent? This isn't the only video I've watched with Americans complaining they don't know where their tax dollars go. Is that just due to lack of interest or is the information just not published? When the annual budget is released in Canada, it is a news item. Often changes are highlighted and for those curious, they can go online and see how the budget is allocated. Non-profits, Universities and other entities that are reliant on Government funding for support and research keenly watch the budget to see where the funding is going plus to identify any new opportunities to access funds. Admittedly, I don't read Newspapers anymore but the budget used to be published in the biggest Newspapers.

Tyler for Prime Minister! 🇨🇦🤣

I'm a Canadian born and raised. But I lived in and worked in the US for 2 years. During that time, I lost access to Canadian health care as a US resident. I really missed that. It was kind of a safety net always knowing it was there for me, unconditionally, as a Canadian resident. And that I didn't have to deal with insurance companies or my employer. I was terrified of getting sick in the US, with its "health care" system. I was also terrified of getting shot, but that's another topic I'll save for another time. During that time, I came back to Canada for a visit and ended up getting sick. I had to go to a walk-in clinic. I also had to mention that I don't have a Canadian health card and that I was a US resident. Therefore, I would have to pay out of pocket. The nurses kept reminding me, almost apologetically, about having to pay and kept pointing out that I could probably get reimbursed once back in the US. They felt really bad charging me. Total cost: $35 Canadian dollars. I didn't bother claiming it when back in the US. That probably would have cost at least $350 American the US. But for that price, it didn't seem worth the effort of trying to claim it in the US insurance world, where they only think about making a profit and anything else is irrelevant to the insurance companies (like your health and wellbeing).

Something else in Canada is our regular repairs of roads and our upgrades to neighborhoods through our taxes not through some Bill that comes up for infrastructure after things start to crumble as you see all over the USA.

Having a more acceptance of multi- diversity shows a more open- system rather than a closed- system of thinking and a more open- mindedness on an individual level. Respect is important (which means listening, not to necessarily agree) in such a system. Yes, there are a few extremists here in Canada too.

Now if you wish to react to any of these topics, we as Canadians would be more than appreciative about it and if there are fellow Americans peeking around and are seeing and appreciating this then I'd be so very happy!!! Looking forward for the next video...

In Canada, we have the Food Bank for those who cannot afford food. You do not have to be on social assistance. Just have to prove your earnings are low. I don't know if the US has something similar. The Food Bank provides free groceries (staples) for those in need. Canada also has homeless people through out our country. In Cambridge, Ontario, we have quite a few. There are organizations with sites on the internet where you can make donations for the less fortunate. Sometimes homeless/poor people that hang out outside grocery stores (quietly) hoping for a handout of any kind. I have noticed people that when they are done their shopping, will buy food/drink (something small) and give it to them when they come outside. Acts like this make me proud that I am Canadian.

We have not kept up on our schools, hospitals and infrastructure. We have huge wait times in er's and to see specialists. Our schools ask parents to provide paper in class rooms to help with the budget that the government no longer can provide . Our teachers are not paid well and so we have less of them to go around. Some schools have problems and need repairs that are not addressed as there are no funds. The last 5 years we have had a huge amount of homeless. Most of because of drug use, but another to do with mental illness . Also some can't afford the rent increase. Here in British Columbia we have a hug amount of homeless much like your Washington below us. We may look good but, I feel we are sliding down hill. I was taught more about U.S. history than Canadian history in school, I glad to see this is changing. While visiting Los Vegas on a bus, a young man asked where I was from. When I told him, I was baraged with questions about my country. I was amazed how little they knew. We all live in igloos , no roads , no shopping malls no busses. I found I was giving a lesson on Canada. For all the boasting the U.S. does on how they are the greatest country in the world it lacks in a lot of ways. Unfortunately Canada is lacking in another of ways. Yes, we have food banks, because we need them, we have a housing shortage. Since Covid we have have had job losses. If we are telling the truth Canada has a lot of problems, it is not not the land of milk and honey. Don't get me wrong I love my country and I'm proud to be Canadian but we do have our problems.

Because of a multitude of personal family experiences, my summary would be that the farther you are above the median income (I am somewhat above), the more money and success is possible in the US, but for opportunity to gain income and success if you are below rhe median, Canada provides a much stronger support system. I have chosen Canada for its stability, and altruistic humanitarian values. When I was a kid in BC, it seems my peers were trained to be jealous of Americans, but that, thankfully, no longer seems to be the case.

University price in Canada for Canadians varies between 2500 to 10 000 for tuition fees (extreme approximation). Foreign students may pay up to 3 or 4 times this price but can easily apply to be permanent Canadian citizen after their graduation. Edit: that said, fees can go up to 25 000$.

There actually could have been way more than only 5 reasons...but those mentioned were 100% correct!

About healthcare, i remember a few years ago, i drove to Boston with a group of students from the Montreal area and at the hotel, in the morning, they lost power and a young girl felt in the stairs because it was so dark in there. The E.m.s we're called and she went to hospital because she had a broken ankle. It cost her parents thousands a $$$ for the EMS and hospital. Here in Canada, the only cost she would have would be the ambulance transport. All the rest would been free of charges.

Also, you'd think that a hotel of all places would have a building code that requires adequate emergency stairwell lighting.. a good lawyer probably could have got that young woman a hefty settlement.

One point about Canadian Universities and Colleges... In many Canadian educational institutions, foreign students are typically charged a premium for the same courses when compared to Canadian citizens. I am not sure of the exact logic on this but it seems like any subsidies that may be present are being granted to citizens first. From the perspective of a foreign student it seems like a form of discrimination (not treating all students equally), but these Canadian institutions are still far less costly than most other western institutions.

One thing he failed to mention in the education portion is Commonwealth Citizenship. Someone from a commonwealth country will find it cheaper to go to school in Canada than someone from the US, because it's part of their rights as members of the commonwealth. American students can end up paying 50% or even double the amount of tuition than someone from Australia or New Zealand.

Hey M. Tyler, I dont know exactly how much your taxed but in Canada depending on your province and annual income, your can get taxed up 50% easy, but normal people get taxed around 35-40% on there income. But you also normally have taxe for 10-15% when you buy, this is taxes on consumption. If you buy a luxury car, which there sale value is higher than 100k, you get to pay additional taxes too.

It really does confuse me why in the United States they charge so much money to heal people, because if death and taxes are an absolute then wouldn't you want people to live longer so you could continue to tax them for as long as possible? It would make more sense to keep people healthy and keep costs down so they can stay healthy. It shouldn't be all about the pharmaceutical companies getting every nickel and dime they can, because they're still going to make up that money over a longer period of time if people simply live longer. 🤷

@@dorisbetts3012 Interesting, Thanks for the insight.

I think a lot of this comes from a single difference in culture between America and Canada (full disclosure: I am Canadian so my opinion might be biased). In general, Americans are taught to think of themselves first, that their work and their money is theirs and theirs only and that each individual is responsible for their own success and happiness. While most of this is also true in Canada, we do have more of a "the strong protects the weak" or "the more fortunate assists the less fortunate" mentality. That's why higher taxes are considered acceptable in Canada and social programs and benefits come as a result of this.

I think one thing about the immigration is that Canada is very reliant on immigrants to make up for the low birth rate and the aging of the population. It might be a stretch to say it's fully welcome though, even if we're very welcoming we also see lots of divisiveness in regards to how many people we should be welcoming and from where. By default Canada has usually been more welcoming of immigrants that have education, particularly in fields that are more in demand, or people who bring money to create business (thus also touching his point about us being a good place for opportunities) but Canada is also known for helping a lot with refugees from conflict areas like recently with Afghanistan or Ukraine while you have incredibly long wait times for the more formal immigration like other immigrants that want to bring their family from their countries after they have successfully immigrated to the country in the past years and are fully settled in. You also have lots of people who enter Canada illegally via the US because they know they can't be deported back immediately because of certain laws, which is causing concern in recent years, particularly since the pandemic started. And I'll spare you the debate about immigration in Quebec where we want to protect the French language...

There are countless reasons.

About multiculturalism in Canada. Two generations later, in a child's classroom of 22, there may be 4-6 nationalities (in major cities). For the most part, young children accept other children. Teachers/Curriculum, for years, always include learning about other cultures....maybe each child sharing their heritage, Annual World Food Day at school, etc. The respectful possibilities are endless. For children, it's the norm because it's the norm in their neighbourhoods. It might even be the norm in their own homes. In junior/high school, it might be different. Young people are sorting out who they are. They may want to be with other students who look/eat/talk/pray the same way they do. There is definitely racism/crime (some with tragic results) in a very small percentage of youth as a result of multiculturalism. (This is just my generalization)

I think the whole political distraction thing really is legit. Canadians legitimately got royally pissed about issues that negatively impact quality of life and it seems people will criticize the current government regardless of who it is.

One of the big thing is, Canadian are far less suspicious/more trusting of the government(compared to the US at least), (corruption) scandals are a big deal here, and members/party can easily be voted out if there is too much corruption smell around. It makes it easier for the population to accept social services provided by the government in exchange for our taxes.

at 5 mins. He's saying Americans are above everyone else. That comes from films. Remenber the old films where someone says "Hey! I'm an American" meaning... (so you can't do anything about it (you are screwed!)) I'm the good one and you're the bad one. Then the super heros... BTW Superman is Canadian "Sorry"! Well we are in the same boat! (Fun Fact, many Canadians joined the US in the Vietnam war, enrolling into the army as Canadians? for the US)The history of the world is somewhat, driven by Politics and that is what ties us togheter as brothers throughout the years. Real Brothers... For good and for for wrong. "Blood brothers". So whatever the differences... We are "Brothers" in arms, in Heart, in blood... We love you Americans, if only you would know better!!!!

Fun fact, Many Americans defected from the USA during their multiple and endless wars. Fun fact, this is messed up for a person, sorry, nation, who thinks war defines us! And thinks these are "fun facts".

I am Canadian but my heart broke when 6 January 2020 about what happened in US Parliament building, I do hope this kind of event will never happen in Canada here

I laugh when Americans say they're moving here because they dont like the news of the day in the US. If you want to move here tomorrow, you needed to start the process a few years ago.

When it comes to ambulance services in Canada whichever costs are incurred can range from $45 to $180 depending upon what the injury is.....that is mere peanuts compared to the astronomical costs in the USA. Hospital services is covered by provincial health plan like in Ontario its OHIP, cancer care, dental, prescriptions, doctor visits for whichever s the reason the province pays it ----- compared to the USA hospital costs that people had to remortage their homes or take on extra loans to just cover the costs for hospital stay including prescriptions. Its just mind blogging.

Maybe it is niceness, but I think it is just being practical. Programs like "Medicare", such as OHIP here in Ontario, are just more efficient. No system is perfect, obviously, and we argue about it constantly, but I think that is a good thing. Just wanted to add that you should look up two poems that Hemingway wrote: I Like Americans and I Like Canadians. The latter had a couple of lines that have always intrigued me: It is hard to get rich in Canada, But it is easy to make money.

Tyler, I think you should go into politics on a socialized medicine platform.
