A good friend of mine (born and lived 30+ years in Canada) moved to the States for about 10 years with his American wife. They split up and he moved back. The first thing that struck him was how slim and fit most Canadians are in comparison to what he was used to seeing in the Midwest.
We have Amazon Prime in Canada
Regarding health insurance, you’re covered under your parents’ plan(s) until you’re 25. If you don’t have a job and when you retire, you get free health care. In AK, anyone with at least 1/16 Native Alaskan or Native American ancestry gets free healthcare. Not sure about the lower 48, but I hope every state does the same, especially any states near/with reservations. Though I think everyone’s better off growing their own food and being wary of hospitals for now... Unless the world is ending, then rack up those bills!
Yes, that's the boneyard the US military uses for surplus aircraft.
To answer your question (I can't speak for Australia) about Americans travelling to our country.. they like to joke about coming to Canada for 'free' health services but it's my understanding unless they have a provincial health card they do not get treated for free here.
Poverty in both countries has gone up, while billionaires have doubled every 5 years or so.
The people who can't afford the insurance for health care coverage have often died instead of loading down the family with debt.
The one change was the Federal insurance program that was introduced, but still there are people who can't afford it.
Military budget in the US is the largest expenditure of all Federal costs.
The minimum wage in the USA is $7.50/hour which is unlivable, so homelessness has grown exponentially.
There are homeless people in Canada, some do get very minimal financial support, $650/month for all expenses in BC where this guy came from.
I still refuse to use Amazon. I buy local for everything I need. These businesses need the income, Amazon certainly doesn't.
Moved to the U.S. from Canada in my mid 20s due to marriage. Lived there for 12 years and have great friends who are American. A lot of things I liked about the U.S. but do not regret moving back to Canada. The things I could not get used to:
1. The gun culture is something I could never understand.
2. The political climate is so toxic. Are you a lefty or a right-winger?
3. The health care is excellent, but unfortunately the care you are entitled to is often dictated by the insurance companies. US healthcare is a big business.
4. The education system is inadequate, especially in larger cities.
It’s a great country but I was happy to come back to Canada. 🇨🇦🥰
well glad you liked it but you dont need to understand gun culture bc canada didnt fight for its independence they stayed subservient to the british til like 1850s or 60s maybe longer actually, the usa fought for independence and one of the things that set it off was the brits started burning all of our firearms, now it is law that we shall bear arms as we want. nobody can take them from us
@@chrisvibz4753 This attitude towards guns is very foreign for most Canadians. Canada's historic mantra has been law, order and good government. This is why there was no wild west in Canada. In fact, Canadian police went west very early to prevent gun toting Americans from crossing the border and causing trouble.
@@lovehandr well canada just remember who defenda your country with norad. maybe we should lobby to quit protecting such a bad neighbor. we still have the death penalty for murderers if thats not law and order idk what is. and if you had any brain youd know the only crime that happens in the usa is in liberal cities. the red states have less crime by a long shot. it doesnt matter if canadians let their rights be taken from them, thats ok bc now you have a nazi sympathizer in office who applauded a literal SS member. good luck my friend. wish we didnt protect you anymore, yall obviously dont appreciate it.
@@lovehandr - Canada had its own troubles, incl. Riel -- twice.
@@user-kq5ke5yb6k Riel was the father of Manitoba in the first instance, but then he hung someone for no good reason and fled to the United States. On the second instance, he returned to Canada after he had become an American citizen. This is exactly why we created the Mounted Police, to keep trouble makers from crossing the border. Can you imagine an American citizen crossing the border and starting a rebellion today?
Wow. Not many comments yet. Will be interesting to see if ppl agree with what he says.
When it comes to Amazon this video is outdated now. I live in Surrey, British Columbia and I have Amazon prime and I do get fast shipping, sometimes same day.
I refuse to use Amazon, buy locally in Surrey, don't go 'south' either for this reason plus the gun nuts.
@@ninemoonplanet I prefer not to limit my options. You do what you want.
@@ninemoonplanet gun nuts - what exactly are gun nuts? anyone who believes in or uses their 2A Rights?
@@mechghost5742 Seriously? You're asking what exactly are gun nuts in the USA? Here is a classic example - Americans that send Christmas cards showing their family (including little kids) all wielding guns.
Its 340 million people bud. Is this your opinion of the whole country or just the portion where you at. Its got fat, skinny, smart, stupid, ugly, good lookin, rich, middle and poor people just like other countries. Except its a big country with lots of people. Dont like it, move. You dont have the face for youtube
How old is his video? 8 years? Amazon is now very much the same as he describes in the US.
I live and work in Canada, but work with US people (online etc.) and they are different... I think I prefer Canada overall, but it's my home so I could be biased.
It's not the same; Amazon offers more stuff in the US, and even in less populated parts, stuff arrives faster.
While I am sure the US has some great traits about it, I am happy to be Canadian and live in Canada.
yeah are you happy about the nazi lover in office? i cant tell if he loves nazis bc he clapped for one or if he is a wannabe socialist. he is confusing.
"Some?" Higher wages; warm beaches, better museums, better theme parks, better stadiums....
@@user-kq5ke5yb6k You again? Do you have a job? A life? Why not create your own videos if you love the US so much.
@@user-kq5ke5yb6k Stop watching videos about Canada if it hurts your feelings so much.
@@user-kq5ke5yb6k I presume you actively working to emigrate to the States then - good luck down there in the world's largest asylum...
These type of videos annoy me because both countries are huge and have large variations within in them. Unfortunately these videos get more clicks, the more general they are. For example, a "Canada compared to USA" video will get more clicks than a "Winnipeg compared to Minneapolis" video.
