I moved from the US to Ottawa in 2016 and I have to say I love it so much. It's beautiful , clean, and close to so many other nice areas to visit(Montreal, Kingston, Algonquin park, Prince Edward County, etc). Not too far from the border either. The skateboard community in Ottawa is so rad too! (Although we can surely use more indoor skateparks).
You forgot to mention that Ottawa's Property Taxes are shockingly high for the property values. Often a major reason why retirees on pensions move out of the city or downsize significantly. Property tax increases rise much faster than pension incomes.
Good point PJ V. It has increased and I think with the increase in inflation and the CERB handouts I have heard rumours it might further affect the property taxes but I cannot confirm.
I was going home from my shitty job on Elgin st early morning, so early that the next bus wouldn't be there for an hour and I missed my bus by a minute. He stopped at the lights a few meters ahead of the stop but refused to let me in, the streets were practically empty. Fuck oc transpo
I hope I can move to Ottawa! I currently live in Sarnia - The air quality is awful, We have so much pollution! There is nothing to do here - I have spent the past 18 years bored out of my mind.. Ottawa looks like a great option for me and my spouse, The nature is gorgeous! We love to explore outside. the location is PERFECT! Close to Montreal, and about 6 hours away from New York City!
@@LivingInOttawa please dont visit! Its awful! our chemical valley is killing the native reserve! all children born there have breathing issues - we have an alarmingly high cancer rate - drug addiction problem and our mayor wont invest in our infrastructure! Our pipes are exploding monthly - causing damage to peoples homes! Its a DUMP here!
Dude Ottawa is also boring an small as well I would honestly say u better of moving to Montreal like foreal it’s mad dope out there, as long as u understand some sort of French then u will be gud it’s really beautiful out there as well u get the big city vibes from Montreal.
come and experience it if you don't like it you can always go back.. we are going where we came from 48 years ago not because the city is not good but now our childrend had move on and we are about to retired. now be your orn Juged good luck.
Was born and grew up in Ottawa, yes in the past the city was a snooze fest after dark, but it has become quite trendy and it leans more towards outdoor adventure than a party city. Many festivals during the year.
I moved here as a young adult 40 years ago and I can assure you that there is NOTHING world class about our public transit system. When it's a three hour return transit ride from Carlingwood to Blair Station then something has definitely broken within the system. I tend to agree with every other observation though. Good content lad. Thanks.
@@danfield6030 I will admit that as of late service has somewhat improved but only because of the resumption of the rapid transit of which has seen a disastrous launch by pretty much any metric you wish to apply.

Hello. Thank you for your honest information ℹ️. I am planning to live Sweden for Canada. Yes, I can understand it is important with French as well, even if the need for French knowledge is not official. Have a great day☀️
I don’t mean to sound rude. But who in the service industry or low wage jobs has had their wages reflect or match the rising cost of living in the last 10 years?
I think the "It's boring" or "Lack of entertainment" crowd come from a background of living in a major city like Toronto, Montreal, etc. If you are not from those cities, then you can't really say its being "boring". I mean Ottawa would be a step up to Hamilton (where I reside). There are millions of people that live outside of Toronto, so I don't like this criticism of Ottawa as its purely based on if you live in Toronto or not.
John Q Taxpayer - I agree - I don't consider Ottawa boring but for people that consider moving here they tend to hear this from others so we had to address it in the video. If you are moving from a major city than everything is relative. It's not New York - It's Ottawa.
Your Dad was right. But it's really not that boring or slow. Compared to large cities sure (but in that case, what city is? Compare Houston to LA - does that make Houston bad? Or is the reverse true? It's all personal choice).
There is interesting people here but they are most likely disconnected from each other. Ottawa attracts a lot of introverted shy people who stay home. Having said that Ottawa does offer some cool things, and some interesting people who do like to try new things. Often times the most interesting more adventurous people are those who have moved here from Montreal, Toronto, or other parts of the world.
@@LivingInOttawa np A storm happened in barrhaven (i was there) im pretty sure it happened in orleans too lmao Anyways your right its pretty much getting more and more active Mother nature be showing who is in charge here
This is the first informative video I watched about Ottawa, would be great if you make videos of specific job opportunities in Ottawa, I am a cinematographer moving to Ottawa very soon hopefully, is it a good place for film industry you think? Thank you for all the good guidance.
Thanks X _ MAX for the comment! There are smaller boutique production companies and some design firms you can connect with but it’s not a massive industry in Ottawa. Check out the other videos on the channel for neighbourhood tours. Might help you on your journey.
If ya live in suburbs, busses can be slow. They run every 30 min out there...... However inside the city , transit is super fast and convenient. Buses run every 15-20 min. And there is usually several options at one bus top...meaning you can get a bus every 3-6 minutes. And at rush hour its even faster. With dedicated bus lanes..the rush hour traffic rarely effects our inner city bus routes
Ottawa transportation always been shit for the amount of money we need to pay for the service. I stop using their service after college. Don't depend on them and don't support them. I'll never trust this city and government when it comes to infrastructure development. It's by far the worst. Even Argentina have a better transportation than this city.
You are right about boring city.from 1970/ 2000 the city has developed slowly pass the reserves city to the booming city night life summer as winter depend what you wants..but don't forget this is the Capital it have to keep respectfully clean and free of lots of thing and habit still the city en deal with crime criminal sickness and brutality then more and more safety been scare now..Totally agreed with you..

Good call on adjusting Cassandra. I like the boring myself - too busy shooting TH-cam videos to get bored for long. Sometimes less distractions is a good thing.
Ottawa is a pleasant city with good bones. Some new comers find it difficult to integrate with the Ottawa born people and often hang out with outsiders who moved here. It has a transient population that doesn't always mix with the long term locals unfortunately.
Agreed - being a medium size northern city you do find some that mix and some do not. The transient is certainly evident with the military relocation and corporate relocations that take place.
Ottawa is horrible, high crime, rent, property taxes! I lived here for 40 years & things have become worse over time, moved to Thunder Bay & now I'm so happy!
Use to live in Ottawa Ontario as a kid left an moved to the U.S went bacc 2014 an no lie goin back as an adult I’ve noticed it’s really small an boring lool there’s really not much to do . I remember I’ve kept asking wat do u guys do here all they do is go to each other’s houses an play games n hang out, orrrr sell Dope lool foreal. The city is sooo small lool u could honestly run into the same person multiple times a day because every teenager or those in there 20’s all go to the same hang out spots shop at the same places inner city small u will see the same person u seen a hour ago in traffic hours later an there downtown is small with hardly any tall buildings but overall great skools literally i kidd u not there skools are great.

Mexico City has a great Metro system, so does Montreal. Ottawa PTS is caca for a G7 country. 417 highway is like a plugged drainage.

I have lived all 43 years of my life living in Toronto. I have only been to Ottawa once, and yes, very, very boring city! The cost of living in Ottawa is cheaper than Toronto, so that's probably the only good thing Ottawa has going for it. I can't see myself ever going back to Ottawa, I just spend the extra 2-3 hours and go to Montreal, where I know I'll have a good time.
Grew up in Ottawa. You must be bilingual to get hired by government esp with degree. Ottawa /Nepean Ottawa west vary spread out. Great for bikeways, green spaces, museums and parks. They could improve bus routes. Schools were great both Catholic and public. Many sports teams . Ottawa has all 4 seasons. I loved the back yard pools in summer, A/C, the fall colours, mature trees and winter canal to skate. If you work in government as manager and up your salary will be higher than private and pension great. The bad is Trudeau and his WEF destructive policies and his narcissistic corruption 😢. Gone will be freedoms under his fathers charter of rights and freedoms
You are correct that if you want a management level position or more in GOC you will need to be bilingual but you can get on pretty well without being bilingual in Ottawa. I grew up in Nepean and have those same memories of great summers, pools, playing with kids throughout the 80s! Good times indeed!
As for Petawawa, their Town Council has to stop their backwards attitudes, including Mayor Bob Sweet and their backwards Town Council using Resolution 11 as an excuse not to make proclamations or even fly a Gay Pride flag. Mayor Bob Sweet is Greater Ottawa's version of Dave Emerson, a former Springdale Mayor whom used is religious ties not have a Rainbow Crosswalk. Petawawa, if you want to prove to be an inclusive community, STOP making excuses for not flying the Pride flag, including that stupid Resolution 11. Shame on you Petawawa Town Council for going against inclusion. C'mon, this is Petawawa, NOT Springdale.
America needs to start issuing visas to Canadians. The immigrant population will end up in America taking American jobs. We can't let TN visas be given to Canadians anymore. It is time to see Canada as Mexico and use the same visa requirements.
Yes, the hospitals in Ottawa are very hospitable. The doctors and nurses are all trained chefs and they have great menus and really good wine lists. Excellent daily specials too!

All those mother truckers 😆 🚚
Downtown is dead, 24/7 nowadays due to COVID. A lot of business folded up for good, thank you China.
I have lived all 43 years of my life living in Toronto. I have only been to Ottawa once, and yes, very, very boring city! The cost of living in Ottawa is cheaper than Toronto, so that's probably the only good thing Ottawa has going for it. I can't see myself ever going back to Ottawa, I just spend the extra 2-3 hours and go to Montreal, where I know I'll have a good time.
Definitely the first city in our nation to uphold our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS , we should all move there now.....
I love my boring city.
Me too!
because its made for boring people.
can be noisy
Good....stay away then. Ottawa
Grew up in Ottawa. You must be bilingual to get hired by government esp with degree. Ottawa /Nepean Ottawa west vary spread out. Great for bikeways, green spaces, museums and parks. They could improve bus routes. Schools were great both Catholic and public. Many sports teams . Ottawa has all 4 seasons. I loved the back yard pools in summer, A/C, the fall colours, mature trees and winter canal to skate. If you work in government as manager and up your salary will be higher than private and pension great. The bad is Trudeau and his WEF destructive policies and his narcissistic corruption 😢. Gone will be freedoms under his fathers charter of rights and freedoms
You are correct that if you want a management level position or more in GOC you will need to be bilingual but you can get on pretty well without being bilingual in Ottawa. I grew up in Nepean and have those same memories of great summers, pools, playing with kids throughout the 80s! Good times indeed!
It’s odd. Just odd . A strange place for sure
so sad to watch a video like this
As for Petawawa, their Town Council has to stop their backwards attitudes, including Mayor Bob Sweet and their backwards Town Council using Resolution 11 as an excuse not to make proclamations or even fly a Gay Pride flag.
Mayor Bob Sweet is Greater Ottawa's version of Dave Emerson, a former Springdale Mayor whom used is religious ties not have a Rainbow Crosswalk.
Petawawa, if you want to prove to be an inclusive community, STOP making excuses for not flying the Pride flag, including that stupid Resolution 11.
Shame on you Petawawa Town Council for going against inclusion.
C'mon, this is Petawawa, NOT Springdale.
You could try to stick to the topic.
Looks like someone has a pet issue.
America needs to start issuing visas to Canadians. The immigrant population will end up in America taking American jobs. We can't let TN visas be given to Canadians anymore. It is time to see Canada as Mexico and use the same visa requirements.
Ottawa is basically a Canadian version of LA
LOL. Not by a long shot. Ottawa is the national version of Quebec City with the sprawl of the average US city.
70 is a spring day in most of tbe US. Canada Sucks
Do u need to speak french if u work in hospitality? If i wanna move to ottawA? I dont speak french at all🥲
Depends on the position you are seeking within the hospital - I know of some nurse whom speak English only and some that are bilingual.
Yes, the hospitals in Ottawa are very hospitable. The doctors and nurses are all trained chefs and they have great menus and really good wine lists. Excellent daily specials too!
