  • Welcome to a very different style of video! I really enjoyed sitting down and just talking for 25 mins. In this video we are going over Canadian cities with a population of at least 75,000 people. This list is 100% my opinion and it is not necessarily right or wrong, I just wanted to give my thoughts. Let me know what you guys think, what would your rankings look like?

    Thanks for this video, I hadn't seen other youtubers do it and I think it's fantastic that they ground the subjective a bit in this way. It gives me a clue as to which city is more convenient to migrate to. Greetings from Mexico, great channel!

    The fact you didnt toss Oshawa into Bad is a win. Grew up here, and we have most of the best things of being in the GTA but we just an hour from Cottage Country. We have a great tradition with our hockey club, a university community and easy access to Toronto BUT ya, we have urban issues downtown. Great food, some great bars but we need to fix some things

    For cape breton they probably mean the cbrm, sometimes called industrial cape breton which includes sydney, glace bay, sydney mines, and dominion, and some other smaller places. Its not really the beautiful touristy part of cabe breton, its mostly old industrial towns with a not so great reputation in the rest if nova scotia (although sydney has really come alove recently)

      Halifax is one of the fastest growing cities in canada which is awesome, but I really think the government should be spreading the population increase between Sydney and Halifax better.

    Ottawa is a city of neighbourhoods. To name a few of the nicer ones that are relatively central there’s the Glebe, Old Ottawa South, the Byward Market, Hintonburg/ Wellington West, New Edinburgh and Sandy Hill. Don’t judge it by its central business district.

    nice vid, of course im gonna have disagreements as a born and raised Torontonian, I noticed you kept Oshawa and Barrie,(cities in the GTA) but missed out on some much bigger cities such as Missisauga(700K), Markham(300k), Vaughan(400k), Brampton(600k), did you just count them with Toronto?

    • @ApexGeography
      @ApexGeography  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a very good point! I didn't make this tier list, it was just one that was pre-built on tiermaker. I would have absolutely talked about those cities if they were present on the list.

    All I can say is this ranking is very subjective, and that's how it should be. It all depends on personal experience in these places, and geography preferences as well. I've been living in Saskatoon for almost 15 years and the city is a dump. I would rank it as "boring" at best. Everybody here pretend to like it, but as soon as an opportunity comes to leave this place, everybody goes away. High crime rate, high poverty rate (1 kid out of 5 lives in poverty in SK), geographically isolated, extremely limited and expensive flights in and out of the city, no thriving industry other than agriculture and mining, finding a good job is really hard mostly because nepotism is the rule, the never ending arrogance and racism of the locals, etc. The local culture is all about populism. If Donald Trump were a candidate to any election here, he would win by a large majority, no question asked. I lived in many cities around the world, I am very frustrated to have ended up here (yes it is a place where you end up, you don't come here by choice) with no possibility to move away yet. The cities in the provinces may be fun to visit for a day or two, but don't move to live here, there is nothing to do. Sorry, but Saskatoon, and all Saskatchewan in general, is an embarrassment for Canada. The province has a lot of potential, but the locals decided they prefer to abuse mother nature in every possible way in order to make a cheap buck, spend it all in booze, and throw the empty cans anywhere but in a garbage. On the other hand, I would agree that Halifax is an awesome city, often underrated. I used to live there and I am desperate to go back in NS. Although I have heard the city has changed a lot. The Atlantic provinces, in my opinion, offer the best quality of life in Canada.

      100%…everyone’s perspective is completely unique and it’s what makes conversations about all these places so interesting. My take on Sask is not based on a whole lot, can’t remember if I said it but I’ve only spent 3 days in the province haha, there’s obviously a ton of things to learn. Thanks for the comment!

      I live in Regina and personally I am stuck in the middle, good nor bad.
      The Cons for me are:
      It snows in the city. Every year on a highway I see more cars stuck in the snow drift than you can count. It's so stupid, as if the drivers forget it snows here.
      Downtown is quiet, so going to Victoria park is not eventful. It's even more quiet in the winter.
      The Pat's arena is older than dirt and the city's not yet agreeing to build a new one.
      Homelessness and crime is an issue, and I keep seeing and hearing articles about break-ins and stuff like that.
      So that's the bad stuff.
      Pros for me are:
      Summer here is good, but you better drink enough water and turn up the AC because it does get too hot here.
      There is a bit of entertainment in the city and that's the riders. We're even hosting this years Grey Cup, which is a pretty big deal for any city that hosts it.
      The previously mentioned Pats play here in the Brandt Centre, so if you like hockey, here's a place to have a decent time.
      The city does have beautiful architecture, so props to Harvard Developments as being one of the companies to make the skyline iconic with their hill towers.
      The Saskatchewan museum and the science centre are a blast. If you want to have fun other than sports, you go there.
      Wascana Lake is actually a good place to visit in the summer, and it does provide good views of the legislative building, but watch out for the geese. They are everywhere.
      So in the end, Regina's mid. I'd rather live in Calgary or somewhere else.
