Comparing Canadian Provinces to US States

- This video compares all 10 Canadian Provinces and 3 Canadian Territories to the 50 US States. The analysis is made off of similar population, population distribution, geography, a bit of history and politics, and most importantly culture. I will be making more videos similar to this soon (1-2 every week hopefully), and I hope you enjoyed!
I feel like British Columbia is more like the California of Canada. It hosts a strong international population, a Canadian Hollywood equivalent and both have the most temperate climates in their respective countries.
I think you could say BC is practically the whole East Coast of the US. I went on a trip from Vancouver to Victoria to Seattle, and that grungy, progressive vibe definitely carried the whole way.
@@kt_lavigne06 BC, Washington State, and Oregon are all basically the same thing. There's even a secessionist movement that calls for the three to separate from their respective countries and join together.
The Canadian hollywood is based in Toronto lmao. Vancouvers film industry isn't anything special.
BC sucks. Full of nothing but a bunch of drug addicts and communist hippies.
😂 Ok
I like to compare Newfoundland and Labrador to Alaska. Both are isolated to the rest of their countries. They both rely on oil and fishing for their economies. Both are mostly empty. NL was the last province to join Canada while Alaska was the Most recent state in the Union. Both also have significant Inuit populations.
Agreed, I've been to Wisconsin and there's not much similarity between WI and NL.
As a current wisconsin resident, I agree. I kind of get his point, especially because being in Wisconsin does feel surprisingly isolated from the rest of the country (especially when compared to Indiana, the state I grew up in and is known for having lots of people passing through), but I definitely think Alaska is better for NL
tbh i didn't know there were Inuit in Alaska. I agree with your point tho.
Nfld is definitely the east coast Alaska
Fun fact: a large chunk of Louisianas French population mostly comes from Acadia, which is Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, which got kicked out from canada after the 7 yrs war, which is where the name Acadiana comes from which pretty much means cajun
and PEI*
Saskatchewan is known for Oil and other natural resources like potash, gold, uranium (Best quality in the world), diamonds, coal, silver and . . . Saskatchewan is the one of the most resource rich places on earth.
I would not say BC is a very leftist province. Yes, Coastal BC of Vancouver and Vancouver Island (Victoria, Nanaimo etc.) are more leftist and hold a lot of power in BC and account for around 3.5 million out of the 5.1 million people living here; however, BC is MASSIVE and Interior/Northern BC are very conservative (I live in the interior).
same here in WA State, more interior conservative too.
I think Nunavut would be like Oklahoma because they are both places where indigenous culture is around and they not have indigenous names and where intended for indigenous people to live in.
Calling everything boring is just uncool. And it really appeals to the ignorant masses mindset.
It may be "uncool", but it's still true.
As a Manitoba I would not call it "uncool" I would call it down right rude.
Ontario is New-York- New-Jersey- Pennsylvania D.C.
Quebec is Louisiana
Nova Scotia is Florida- Massachusetts -Connecticut
Manitoba is Illinois-Michigan and Missouri
British Columbia is California -Washington- Oregon.
Alberta is Texas - Colorado
Saskatchewan is Carolina -Virginia
New Brunswick is Maine -Rhode Island.
God you must hate Ontario smh
@@butterknife5155 I don't hate Ontario
@@mlbroblox8620 I'm joking 🙏😞
no pei hmmm
Just had to point out that the lobster statue photo you used for Nova Scotia is not found in NS at all but is the main attraction of Shediac, New Brunswick
It’s pronounced NewfoundLAND, not Newfinlind - rhymes with “understand.” And it’s not part of the Maritime provinces, despite being very small-m maritime in nature - the Maritimes are only NB, NS, and PEI, because NL has such a different history and culture and is physically separated.
As a Newfoundlander who’s married to an American, I’d say Newfoundland is akin to Alaska, or perhaps West Virginia if West Virginia was a couple hundred miles out in the Atlantic Ocean by itself.
I know that the Atlantic provinces are similar to New England. New England has a historically dominant mainline Protestant population and has voted for moderate Republicans until it recently became democrat. The Atlantic Provinces have historically been dominated by mainline Protestantism and has long voted for Red Tory’s until the provinces recently became heavily Liberal.
As a Canadian I think it would be funny to go over every region in each province and compare it to a us county because the east Kootenay area is the opposite of Vancouver in most ways
I don't think you can just go one-to-one comparisons.
Ontario is like New York+Illinois+California combined.
Quebec does not have any comparison, and Texas is a particularly terrible one.
British Columbia is like Washington.
Alberta is like Texas.
Saskatchewan is like North Dakota and South Dakota.
Manitoba is like Missouri in my opinion. Flyover farm country, but it does have a large minority population and shitty, irrelevant cities that make up major urban populations.
Nova Scotia is like Massachusetts if Boston was smaller.
New Brunswick is like Maine minus the Portland metro area.
Prince Edward Island is like the Portland metro area.
Newfoundland doesn't have a good comparison either, but a lazy one could be Alaska.
I agree, comparing Quebec and Texas isn't accurate : one is hot and conservative, the other cold and liberal.
@@ns2859 You severely underestimate the conservatives of Québec
@@Foxikaze There is almost no conservatives in Québec.
They dont reach more than 15% of the population @@Foxikaze
@@ns2859Québec is quite warm half the year. 3months average and 3months really cold. With global warming Québec's winter is getting weaker and weaker
BC is more similar to to California imo
We have Christian right-wingers in our remote areas, very similar to eastern Washington, I gather.

Dealing with the east coast provinces, Nova Scotia's analog is easily Massachusetts (dominance of NS wrt the Maritimes vs dominance of MA to the rest of New England, Halifax vs Boston (Public Gardens, the Commons, multiple universities, horrible traffic). The analog for New Brunswick is Maine (size, location, absence of a single dominant city (Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton vs Portland, Bangor, Augusta), reliance on fishing, forestry and farming). I like your analogy of Prince Edward Island vs Vermont. That seems appropriate. As for Newfoundland, the only comparable US jurisdiction is Alaska. Both NL and AK are seriously isolated on the fringes of the continent and are difficult to get to, and tend to have severe climates. Fishing and oil production sustain both jurisdictions.
as a Minnesotan, I'm glad you don't think we are forgettable :)
BC is not "leftist" it's 50/50 at best,it's also a major supplier of power to all of the western states and Alberta, it is also basically Canada's loading dock as 85% of all imports and Exports go through bc
Note that Quebec is the largest in area, you show it as second (yet the area square mileage are accurate!)
The maritimes are four separate provinces, with 4 different sets of laws.. NB is like maine for there industries, pei is like road isle for its size, ns is Canadian Flavored Florida and Newfoundland & Labrador is east coast Alaska to a tea.
BC is mainly left wing in the coastal areas. East of the coast mountains it tends to be more politically conservative.
9:21 that giant lobster is in shediac, witch is a town in NEW BRUNSWICK, not Nova Scotia
Just fyi, the image of the city you used for Kansas is Kansas City, Missouri
In Saskatchewan (as well as Alberta and Manitoba) we generally hate the east, especially Ontario and Quebec. We are more Conservative, blue collar, and down to earth and polite.
It should be like:
1. British Columbia - Washington
2. New Brunswick/Quebec - Maine, excepting the extremes
3. Nova Scotia - Maine
4. Ontario - New York
5. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba - North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska
6. Yukon - Idaho
7. Prince Edward Island - Rhode Island
Alberta is a different from those other places.
A better comparison for Nova Scotia would be Massachusetts. New Brunswick is more like Maine. Fun fact: NS, NB and Maine were Acadia, and when the British took it over NB and Maine were part of the colony of NS until after the American Revolution. Also, Newfoundland is not part of the Maritimes. The Maritimes are NS, NB and PEI. The Maritimes combined with Newfoundland is called Atlantic Canada
As a Canadian, my comparison, similar to yours in many respects, goes like this:
Ontario = New York
Quebec is unique, but similar to Louisiana due to the French....
B.C. = Washington State
Alberta = Texas
Winnipeg = Minnesota
Saskatchewan = North Dakota
Maritimes (Nova Scotia/ PEI and New Brunswick) = Maine
Newfoundland/Labrador = Alaska.
There's no comparing the Territories to US States, these places are absolutely empty, and the culture is quite foreign, Yukon and NWT may be slightly comparable to Alaska, but there's nothing like Nunavut at all in USA, other than maybe the Northern coast of Alaska, or the Island chains south of them.
Lol, Winnipeg is so big, I accidentally named it instead of it's province, Manitoba! Manitoba realy does feel like the massive expanded wilderness surrounding Winnipeg though.
I would say northwestern Ontario is completely different from southern Ontario. With the former being much more similar to Minnesota and the UP of Michigan.
Southern Ontario however is much more similar to Illinois, New York, and Ohio.
by area Québec:1,542,056 s.k. Ontario: 1,076,395
I mean BC is quite similar in feel to Washington, but in reality is far closer to something like Oregon or even California
Saskatchewan also has lots of oil, potash and uranium…
B.C., Washington, Oregon, and northern California might as well be the same place honestly lol
Interesting video but I don't think Idaho has 8+ million people!
And while BC and Washington have plenty in common (Oregon too), I always felt that culturally BC had more in common with California.
Hey this is an awesome video! 👌 One critique I have is maybe slow down when talking? Sometimes I have trouble understanding what you're saying, because you perhaps felt rushed when recording it. Otherwise you're doing amazing. Keep on keepin on brother!
Quebec is the only Place in the entire North American continent that speaks French. After the us and most parts of Canada declared to speak English. While Mexico Central America and Cuba speak Spanish.
If you include Newfoundland and Labrador you should call the area Atlantic Canada
BC's politics aren't super clear cut leftism, despite the stereotypes, it has a long history of electing centre-right governments. The SoCreds and the Liberals (now BC United) have had long stints in power over the last half century
Please enunciate the "i" in Ontario more. "On-tair-e-oh". I would also note there's a wide disparity between Northern and Southern Ontario. Southern Ontario may be very similar to New York, yes, but I would say the Northern half of the province is more akin to Minnesota or even Alaska, especially in the winter, given just how remote and isolated communities can be.
Amazing video. Thanks a lot
WASHINGTON DC IS LIKE OTTAWA ONTARIO . THEME PARK DISNEYLAND IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA IS LIKE CANADA WONDERLAND. DISNEYWORLD IN LA CALIFORNIA IS SILMIAR TO LA ROUGE THEME PARK IN QUEBEC.
I was gonna say BC is more like Califonia.
Underrated!
I agree 100% and I'm from Quebec!
Please slown down
There's a button for that in the top right corner
I was thinking that too buddy talks at like 2000bpm
This was a good quality video hopefully the channel grows
"Leftist" politics in ON?
Tell that to Doug Ford.
NovaScotia is Canadian Flavored Florida 😅
Canadian Flavored Florida is planing to have a million people in the chity of Halifax
Minnesota Is very Canadian. you said it correctly.
British Columbia is basically the Eastern Asia of North America
Neat video. Quebec/Texas is a little weird but the others are fair. As a Canadian I didn’t even know a lot of these American stereotypes.
Not to overstep boundaries but you have an interesting accent, what state are you from?
Sounds like Midwest.
Funny thing about Alberta is that although it is arguably the most conservative province, it is also one of the least religious.
I'd say Quebec should be comparable to Florida. Not because they're culturally similar. But I hear a lot about crazy people from Gatineau and that reminded me of florida man.
As a lifelong Albertan (even though I’m liberal) this is pretty damn accurate.
Wow, most of them are most similar to their neighbors to the south, how shocking, who would have guessed that
Kansas City isn’t in kansas
BC Hollywood North is California.
quebec and the maine is alike.
You could compare nunavut to Oklahoma because ofvthe indigenous population
Idaho MORE LIKE PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND BECAUSE THE MAIN ONE KNOW FOR THEIR POTATO WHILE HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA MORE LIKE RHODE ILSANDS WITH THE DIFFERENT COLOUR HOUSES.
Texas and Alberta
Oil and cattle
I find Alberta to be most similar to Colorado
15:10 hate Alberta WTF that is the only other province I can relate to besides Saskatchewan , get your stories straight!
you sounds like whatifalthist!
You need to speak slower dude
"leftist" politics 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Alberta is just the south in general. I hate it here. I call it Ala-berta ( Alabama and Alberta ).
It's the wealthiest Canadian province percapita (by far).
@@BasePuma4007 absolutely, and don’t get me wrong im so thankful for all the privilege that comes with living here. It just gets kinda tough for different reasons
Idaho does NOT have 8.5 million people
