/ @ryanandtyler
To claim that your country is the absolute best in the world is a bold claim, but today I am willing hear out the argument for why Canada may just be the best nation on the planet. As I've learned more about Canada there have been many things that have impressed me, which is why today I am very excited to react and watch this video about the reasons why Canada is the best country in the world. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
I did it. For all the reasons outlined here, I left the U S (Texas) and now live in Nova Scotia. I love it. Have been a permanent resident for 3 years and looking forward to getting my Canadian citizenship.
Welcome Judy. I'm sure you'll get your citizenship no problem.
Thank you for your response I was wondering if there was any American so watch Tyler and now I know. I hope you have a long prosperous life in our country.
Welcome, Judy!
We often hear about Americans saying they'd move to Canada during election time or when something politically controversial occurs, but I've wondered if any actually did. I'd like to hear about how they feel after moving here and whether they think they've made the right decision.
must feel nice to get away from all those guns and get some salt air.
I am British and I live in Canada. It really is an amazing country and the people are the very best! I feel extremely lucky that I live here. 😁🇨🇦
And you still have the King as the head of state so it's like you never left!
Really?
It is Remembrance Day in Canada today. I can't speak for everyone but it is an important day and always emotional for me. Thank you Tyler for taking the time to learn about Canada, I have even learned some things, and being very respectful about it. Much love from Canada
100% I get it as a Canadian I get somewhat emotional today mostly because my grandfather now but also that before it was just his Troopers people in his life he had the troupe he was with as he was a air trouper and had to deal with all this he probably had friends maybe acquaintances that didn't make it but umm he recently passed away this year it has a whole other meaning that my grandfather lived all of the war and ... life killed him....he died in the hospital by himself suffering During this Stupid ... Horrible pandemic...lockdowns....
@@Xenko007 I am sorry for your loss :(
@@hockeyfan2704 Thank you so Much, Your Very Kind Hopefully You have an Amazing Day.
@@Xenko007 you as well :)
I got to meet the oldest Canadian veteran alive last year on Remembrance Day, he had some amazing stories! I should check if he’s still alive… I’m always proud of how we care about veterans here. It’s not a perfect system but I really respect how we don’t glorify the wars and battles here but instead pay respect to the people and their families.
As a Canadian currently living in the US, I can tell you that the clean air really is a thing. When my American born kids and I visited our family this past summer, the first thing the kids did when they got out of the car was take a deep breath and say "the air is just different up here, it's so clean!" I really do miss my country. Not perfect, but the best place in the world as far as I'm concerned. Can't wait to move back. 🇨🇦
Totally depends on what part...some parts of America are way cleaner than some parts of Canada.
I lived in the US twice and now I'm back to stay, I love it here.
"The air is just different up here.' 50% of Canadians live below the US. Air quality is only bad in major cities with populations half the size of Canada. Sit the fuck down.
@@RiRi-df9jt wow somebody is triggered I see! I live in a rural area so your observation doesn't apply and no, I will not "sit the fuck down." If you have such an issue with what my CHILDREN said, then I would suggest therapy for that internalized inferiority complex. Smdh.
@@piscesfairydust7411 You and your children are stupid. I'm not triggered, you are. You talk about "observation" well that doesn't apply to me living more North than 50% of Canadians. My air is just as clean as yours. Why u haf to be mat, it only gam?
As an American I have now made Canada (anywhere in Canada!) my next travel destination after seeing Tyler’s great selection of videos. I will no doubt want to move there after I go!
Marisa: Depending on how long you have for holidays and where you live should determine where you come to in Canada. Just let us know what your interests are and we Canadians would love to give you travel ideas/suggestions.
@Darcy Martin thank you so much! I’ve seen such beautiful places in the videos- I’d say I favor a scenic city that has interesting architecture, museums, a great history and perhaps on the water!
I live in Nova Scotia and it's beautiful here in the summers and falls. Cheers!
@@Barnes466 🙋♀️ We’ve been out and visited Halifax and loved it it’s so beautiful there❤️fr 🌾SK
@@marisaevancoe2157 Then, Montreal would be good for you! 🙂 Or Québec City! Or St-John, Newfoundland! I'd say these are about the three oldest cities in Canada... don't know much myself about St-John regarding architecture and museums but Montreal and Québec have lots of museums of all sorts as well as interesting architecture! While winter in Canada is beautiful (and yes, can be really cold), I'd suggest you to come and visit either during the summer or at least in September October to see the beautiful foliage everywhere!
I moved to Canada from United States 10 years ago. I agree with everything that was said in this video.!
Like many others, Canada is a great country and by many metrics, it comes out on or near the top. No need to call my country the "greatest" or the "best". It's just awesome and I'm grateful to have been born and live here.
Actually under Trudeau the countries ranking has gone from 1st to 17th.
@@petewick8627 Nope. A quick search and we're #3 in Quality Of Life. By other metrics like Starting a Business and Happiness, we've certainly fallen off. Covid was a bitch.
@@petewick8627 -That is just not true. We make rank 17th in some areas but virtually every list has Canada ranked in the top 10 and often in the top 5.
Amen Canada is amazing...🇨🇦
I’m an American living in Canada for the past 50 years. Must tell you that you’ve made me aware of lots of things about my adopted country I didn’t know. Thank you! Besides cold winters - that are really not as bad as they are reputed to be because the weather is generally sunny, the air is very dry and therefore more bearable and good Winter clothing, especially made in Canada, really make all the difference - the only other “flaw” this country has are the very high taxes - of all kinds. Canadian families with a family income of CA$227,500 or higher pay 53% of the country’s total taxes; the bottom 20% earning less than CA$56,500 pay 0.8% of income taxes and 2.1% of total taxes; those in the middle pay 37.8%. (Ref: National Post- Oct 27, 2022) No retirement haven for middle class retirees! Unless, of course, they get sick. All those taxes do pay for pretty good health/home care, excellent hospitals and a good portion of prescribed drugs. As well as an almost free, excellent collège/university education for their grandchildren. The peace and gun-free tranquility make it, at least for me, quite worth it.
Good comment. I do love how our tax system works. I pay a lot of taxes and don’t buy into the “rampant government waste” story that’s been drilled into western mindset for the last 40 years. Rather, I feel we get what we pay for: good government, good healthcare, very good education, social welfare, good infrastructure. However, I have an issue with your assertion that Canadian university system is “almost free”. You must have Canada confused with another country. While not as expensive as prestigious American universities, our system is still quite expensive for the average student. Our universities nationwide do not seem to have the wide range of quality as the US (from very poor to super high quality), Canadian universities are consistently high quality; but certainly not inexpensive.
It’s humid in New Brunswick. Our provincial bird is the mosquito! When it’s hot it’s horrible because the high humidity does not allow sweat to evaporate, so you go around feeling hot and sticky. Thankfully we have the Ocean (Bay of Fundy) to go sit by and cool off.
I think that Alberta has dry air.
I just wonder how the natives feel about being Canadian. You know a genocide, an actual cultural genocide, the children being sent to basically internment camp schools for over a hundred years. Oh plus all those murdered and missing native women! I think I will slip them down five more points, and put them at number 20!
@@Dustandfuzzhave you ever been to Winnipeg on an average summer day, just don't breathe in or you will be fed well!
I like that we take care of each other and we help those in need get a foot up, so that everyone has the opportunity to better themselves no matter their circumstance. As immigrants, coming to Canada and not speaking the language, I can't believe how easy it was for me and my 4 siblings to get educated and get ahead resulting in jobs that help us all contribute to the welllbeing of the people of Canada. It truly is a country of equal opportunity.
Canadian here, being polite and friendly are contagious. I was in the US and people say people are not friendly. But I was friendly and polite to others there and everyone I ran into were friendly. If you act like an arrogant prick you will be treated as such. If you act friendly and polite the reverse is true.
True, I've only ever met one American I didn't like, he was a Texan who was staying at a hotel in Niagara Falls, where I was working... threatened to get me fired for not getting off the sidewalk, so he could go by! (He was wide as a house!)
@@shoknifeman2mikado135 no good deed goes unpunished I guess
Agreed. Every American I have met have been very friendly. Good begets good, hate begets hate
I lived in Toronto for 20 years and I think it's one of the least friendly places I've ever been. Polite yes...but not friendly. I even find Manhattan more friendly than Toronto. I also think Newfoundland is thje single friendliest place I have ever been by far. It's almost hard to believe. I have never been but I hear The Philippines is very friendly.
It's so true. I was in Conroe Texas renting a car, and I think because I was so friendly, the agent was also super friendly and I ended up getting a much better car, and he marked my gas as empty, even tho it was full, so that when I returned the car, I didn't have to fill the tank. I didn't expect that from a Texan to a Canadian.
Tyler, as a Canadian, your videos are making me fall in love with my country again. Thank you! Visit us soon 🇨🇦
Canadians are too modest to call themselves "The best country in the world". But then again we know that if the rest of the world looks at us that way, then we must be on the right path. And that, more than anything, is what makes us proud to be Canadian. Love your videos Tyler.
I'm Canadian and I often say that Canada is the greatest nation on earth! Why should we allow the Yanks' bogus claim go unchallenged?
Too modest to say it but confident enough not to dispute it lol xo
Actually that's the one thing Canadians aren't too modest to say.
Jean Chrétien used to say "Le plus meilleur pays du monde" (the bestest country in the world) because you know... he's Jean Chrétien.
I'm a proud Canadian, would not brag on Canada, but gotta say when you hear "True North" at a Winnipeg Jets game, you know where your heart is !! Best in the world ? For my world, anyway !!
I'm a Canadian who grew up travelling and living in a lot of other countries. I still travel as an adult, but not as much. I LOVED my childhood of travelling and there are so many places in the world I feel I have left a little piece of my heart in. But as a full grown, educated man now, I still stand back in awe every once and awhile and reflect on what we have created for ourselves here in this country. Most friends and family I know also do this peridocically. When I was younger I believed it was the Scandinavian countries, but now I honestly believe Canada is the best option for a society of what humans have been able to come up with so far. As far as equality, democracy and fairness, I think we top the list. Like people, countries are always growing, always learning; and we have along way to go and a lot of things to work on. But I do feel incrediby lucky to have won the mix of random die rolls and hard choices made by my ancestors that landed me here in this time.
Lived here 55 years, and will always be glad , proud, and thankful for the nation we have become. I have traveled to many countries for work, and am always treated with respect just for being Canadian.
Proud french Canadian from Québec and it is a really nice place to live!
The best of the best! Who could not fall in love with Quebec?
Good reaction Tyler! As a Canadian, I approve this message (and agree with much of it). It's a pretty nice place to live!
As it's Remembrance Day here today (Veteran's Day to you Americans), I thought it might be a good idea to recommend an episode of your channel dedicated to how we honour our vets. If you've ever heard a recitation of 'In Flanders Fields' (a poem written by a Doctor/Soldier named John McRae - now celebrating 150 years since his birth) - pretty popular worldwide. He was born in Guelph, Ontario, just outside my hometown of Kitchener.
He wrote it after a fellow soldier passed during World War I.
Cheers! Keep up the videos about this awesome land!
As a Albertan I disagree with this message.
@@kingryeeye3812
Why I am not surprised that you would disagree coming from petulant Alberta.
A good description of Remembrance Day for Americans would be Veterans' Day and Memorial Day combined; we honour all who sacrificed, living and those gone on, and why they fought and why we should strive to never have to fight again. "Lest we forget".
@@kingryeeye3812 At least you don’t live in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Regina, or Winnipeg.
@@katyroseable Yeah, I could see that. Its a mess over here. our votes don’t really matter, our peaceful demonstrations gets denied, our jobs and economy here are reliant to the pipeline, so whenever the pipeline gets denied multiple people just lost there jobs. There’s a lack of doctors and medications like it cost 300 dollars for Tylenol from the USA for it not having French description even tho 0.96% of the people here speak French. We gets called racist and slurs especially by the prime minister and people from Ottawa. The police forces is lacking people and banning handguns totally helped with lowering the crime here…
Thank you for doing these videos Tyler. I have travelled a lot in the USA and am currently in Arizona. I am from BC and find that so many Americans have no idea of the geography, nature, people, politics or way of life in Canada. You are giving folks in your country the education they should have received, thank you again!
We are a good country. I had to live outside Canada (a long time ago) to really appreciate our calm, peace, order and good government because I've seen anger, civil disorder, rage and racism and hate elsewhere. It wasn't until I came back that I could truly understand what we have here.
Where were you?
Fuckin' eh brethren, Ive travelled many places and I agree, We have it really really really good, not perfect and we have our fair share of shit hidden under the couch, however, we try to improve.
I had exactly the same experience. Cheers, my fellow Canucks! ٩(＾◡＾)۶
Good government? Here? You must have taken a blow to the head. Trudeau is the worst ever, he's a modern Hitler. Hell, worse in some ways.
@@ItApproaches really? Worse than Hitler? Tell me you've had it too good without telling me you've had it too good...
Hi Tyler. I totally get the clean air point in this video. Whenever I have travelled abroad and returned to Vancouver, where I live, the first thing I notice as I exit the airport to the outside is how fresh and sweet the air is here. It’s weird but it happens every time.
Lest We Forget ❤
Peace to all my fellow Canadians 🇨🇦 and our neighbours 🇺🇸
We should just forget already
Lest isn't even a normal word! lol
The best thing about Canada, other then the freedom we all take for granted, is that nature is so close to every city.
Wearing a poppy pinned to our clothing over our hearts, we Canadians, just a short time ago, at 11:00 AM, November 11, stopped and took two minutes to reflect, and pay tribute, to all the Canadians and Commonwealth families, who have given their lives so that we can freely live in such a beautiful country in which we enjoy peace and respect for one another. Lest we forget.
Did exactly that this morning!
Did too! Was with my oldest son, 15, and we were in the car, exiting the hospital when on the radio they did the 2 minutes of respect and silence, and even though he does about about our veterans, because like pretty much everyone else we do have to in our families (granted, he never met) but I made sure very young to tell them, to explain why I had given money for a plastic poppy, it was his first time living it, hearing it, (since usually he’s in school).. he took it very seriously, very thoughtfully, it was a nice moment to share ❤
Thank you to all of you who took the time to 'like' and 'respond'. Cheers
Tyler, for me Canada has some of the best music ever. You should check out Gordon Lightfoot, not only a wonderful musician and singer but one of the best songwriters of all time. He was a master of the lyric. Although "Sundown" was his biggest commercial hit, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is, IMO, his best piece.
LEST WE FORGET to all who are observing Remembrance Day today!
Tyler, you should have done a video on Remembrance Day, today. Its like the US's Memorial Day
I’m so proud and lucky to be Canadian! 🇨🇦
I’m proud of being an Albertan or born in the prairies.
How many Canadians have went into an American gas station or grocery store and had the check out man or woman be completely caught off guard when you said, "hello", "please", "thank you" and "have a good day"?
This is the sort of condescending Canadian trite that makes the people not so nice, more passive aggressive. I know because I'm an actual Canadian anglophone. Not an immigrant that can't pronounce certain words properly despite being 3rd gen. The cultural mosaic Canadians falsely rave about is fracturing and failing.
More the blank confused stare when you ask to use the washroom. 😂
How many Canadians have gone into an American store, you mean?
I’m considered “an overtly polite and friendly American” who originally comes from New York. In New York they looked at me as though I was insane. We also lived in Richmond,VA where many people still think the civil war hasn’t ended - so black cashiers would react to me with such surprise when I asked them “how are you today?” Inevitably they all knew my name (as I knew all of their’s) when I went into the store. I relate to @Korivex remark very much.
The more rats in the maze the more tail biting 😮
I thank the heavens often, for letting me be born in one of the greatest nations in the world. We have our flaws, every country does, but I am proud and thankful to be Canadian!
I've lived in Canada for all of my 43 years and I can honestly say that I learn something new about the country in almost every single reaction video that youve done on the topic. It's pretty cool 'learning together' about interesting facts I didn't know plus watching your reaction to them. Definitely feeling some Canadian pride from them, thank you! xo
Me too! Love learning new things about my own backyard :)
It is certainly an interesting concept, even for us Americans who already know a lot about Canada. I am uncertain where Mr. Bucket is from..Arkansas? My curiosity about Tim Hortons has been raised.
@@jameshitselberger5845 Tim Horton was a hockey player in the late 50 , early 60's, far as I know. He bought a coffee shop. The whole company is now owned by some conglomerate. I'm a huge Timmies addict, I need my extra large double double dark roast to live !!
@@jameshitselberger5845 Not missing anything. Timmies has been garbage since it was bought by an American company and now use cheap beans and the bakery is no longer fresh but cooked from frozen. McDonalds uses the better beans that Timmies used too and has much better coffee.
Hey Tyler, thanks for doing what you do. Really enjoying watching you learn about us, partly because it makes me proud of what my country has to offer, partly because it educates me and reminds me of some of the things that've been right here for me to check out all along, but mostly because of your personality. You're like one of us! I think you'd love it here. You seem kind, smart and courteous, you'd fit right in. Come for a visit, eh?
Remembrance day today, I never realized that the poppy is mostly a Canadian thing. I wear my poppy every year for my many relatives who served and for one that didn't come home.
Actually, other Commonwealth countries like the UK, Australia and New Zealand also wear poppies on November 11.
@@upstreamification that may be but a British guy just mentioned before the ceremony that English folks have it but not to the same degree, l thought it was a world wide symbol but I was misinformed
@@terryomalley1974 lol good to know so I was correct.
Flanders Fields was written in WW1 by Colonel McCrae from my hometown of Guelph, Ontario. His mention of the poppies growing in Flanders was the origin of the poppy tradition. It has taken hold as well in the UK but to a lesser degree. I believe you can be shot in Canada for not wearing a poppy on Remembrance Day. 😜
I grew up very close to long beach. I now live in the Rockies with the largest snow capped peaks and beautiful valleys. My grandmother lives in Nova Scotia and the fall colours along the rocky coastline is so beautiful. I value my experiences living here quite a lot. I have travelled to other countries but I prefer to travel my own now. So many beautiful places to go it would take more than a lifetime.
PS. If you experienced the air where I live in the Rockies you would understand! Glad actually bottled a scent from a Canadian town called Jasper. The air is so clean here you can smell all the flowers.
In Montreal you can smell the flowers once they've exit out the back side of whatever animal ate them! Mmm Montreal fresh dead animal, skunk, rotten compostable, fresh poo air!
Tyler, you're not an 'average' and certainly not a 'typical' American... not by a long shot. Thanks for your kind, appreciative comments. Yuh gotta come visit us at some point, eh!
One big difference I’ve noticed between traveling between Canada and the US (I’m biased as I’m Canadian), is the amount of poverty in the US. The disparity between the rich and poor in the US is huge. Huge swaths of decreprid communities in the US between areas of opulence. You don’t see that in Canada where it looks like the standard of living is only slightly different in different areas of the country. You only have to look between the two sides of the border between Niagara Falls US and Canada for a perfect example of what I mean. Niagara Falls US is not a desirable place to live and the difference is stark. It’s a difference that is obvious all over the US, where there is a lot of shanty towns. The US system is really geared toward and controlled by the affluent, and the disparity between the rich and poor will be America’s downfall eventually. I think the lack of public healthcare is a big part of this as a healthy population is a wealthy population. When illness can bankrupt people, through no fault of their own, it doesn’t make for a healthy society in general.
I live in Toronto. Largest city in Canada. I’m 1hr from Niagara Falls and vineyards in Niagara-on-the-lake. 1 hour to Wasaga beach and 2 hrs to Muskoka. 4 hours of driving and I can get to Algonquin park, one of the largest nationally protected park full of wildlife. We all live in this sort of proximity to nature…
You drive fast
Lol sorry… I’m in Mississauga close to 407. You would add Maybe 30-45 mins… but I don’t think I was exaggerating too much.
The falls is almost 2 hours for me.
The rest is pretty close in time I guess,
Algonquin only 2.5 hours though
As a Canadian I wouldn't agree we are the best country in the world, but that only means that we should keep trying. We do have things better than most of the world though, but that should only inspire us to help make the world a better place.
One of the big things I found about Canadians and The U.S. is,...
In the U.S. it's all about me..me..me,
In Canada it's all about we.
Exactly the difference between the two.
Exactly why I can't wait to move out of Canada
@@drdelewded Sooooo,..If I understand you correctly you want to move from Canada because we try to look after one another for the most part as a whole to a place where you only worry about yourself? Is this correct?
@@T.N.S.A.F.
That and fuck snow and I want guns.
@@drdelewded well.....good luck to you sir I think your going to fit right in.
Thanks for another great reaction. As a Canadian, I think one of our biggest strengths is that we realize we are not perfect and that we should always be looking for ways to make our society better. For example recently how Indigenous people have been treated as well as how people of colour have historically been treated has come to the forefront of a national conversation, where we are realizing and accepting that as a country we need to do better than those who came before us did. Also in one of the comments you read off the video it talked about Canada and fresh water. Canada has 20 percent of the world’s fresh water. It’s incredible when you think of a single country having that much of the world’s supply.
Hi Tim. This is the second comment I’ve seen about our water supply. I just wanted to add that there are indigenous communities who are still living without fresh drinkable water.
@@jillwanlin9558 I totally agree. It is a national disgrace that there are so many First Nations communities with boil water advisories. Let alone that they often last for months, years or even decades in few cases I believe. It’s embarrassing to our country.
Number 13: Canada has over 3 Million fresh water lakes that counts for over 30% of the planets fresh water supply. Tap water being better than bottled.
Number 14: According to a world poll, Canada is ranked Number 1 for the past 3 years as the most loved country in the world.😀👍 Wow!
So proud to be Canadian ❤️🇨🇦 Would not want to live anywhere else on this planet 🌍 We enjoy our freedom, peacefulness! 🤗
**poll**
Sure immigrants like our passport and live in their origin countries 5 months per year. When things get tough they fly back to Canada or expect our government to bring them back . the happiest people according to the world index for the past years is not Canada .. Finland is the best , Switzerland, Norway. Canada has big identity issues . too many immigrants have no canadian culture and know more about USA than Canada ( history, education, principales ) . People are watching the same viloent movies from USA, from news, same Tv shows , same fast food , same language and no respect . A lot of people cannot afford a house in Toronto or Vancouver . People in Vancouver are affraid to walk on the streets ( violence, homless and drug addicts ). Toronto has one of the highest rate of violence in canada and gun shots everyday . You live in a fake world

I'm almost 70. I lived about 10 years in the US and, while I enjoyed my time there and made lots of great friends, I'm glad I came back to Canada. The level of stress here is just so much lower. I don't have to worry about health care, or my kids being shot in school, or attacks on democracy. My son lives in California now and is looking forward to getting back home.
Hey 👋 You’ve won something 🎉❤
Today is Remembrance Day in Canada - Lest We Forget - the poem In Flanders Fields was written by Canadian doctor and Lt. Col. John McRae in 1915 during WWI and the symbolism of the poppy will dwell in Canadian hearts for the rest of time. We will never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
I have more than a few Americans here in nova scotia, and found them to be kind, nice, and very interesting to talk to. Every country has jerks. Even canada. As for the best in the world.....I have not been to all over the world. I love Norway, a lot like Canada, but this is the best country for me and my family .
I want to say thank you for all your great reactions to Canada. As I Canadian thank you. I really enjoy your reactions, keep it up
I’m Canadian and I love it here. Yes there is beautiful scenery everywhere
I’m gonna start the go fund me campaign for Tyler to visit Toronto 😂 or do a cross Canada road trip! We gotta see his first impressions of personally experiencing Canada!
Haha yesss
That would be awesome - a road trip for Tyler. If he’s here in Calgary I’ll drive him out to Banff and the Rocky Mountains. It’s always fun to see people’s reactions when they see Lake Louise and the different sights around there.
I’d also set him up on Vancouver Island - he’d be surprised by Victoria and Torino for sure.
We'll host him here in Nova Scotia.
HE deserves a trip to Toronto
I got $20 with Tyler's name on it...let's do it
I am Canadian. It’s my home and I love it. I understand why you as an American, had a hard time saying Canada is the best country in the world. It’s not your home. I love some things about the States that is pretty nice. There is a great video of the friendship between our two countries that can chock me up a little. It is narrated by Tom Brokaw. Hope you can find it. I don’t know how to spell “Brokaw”. Nor do I know how to put a link to the video……..it is wonderful.
Yes Tyler, Canada is so incredibly friendly. Today is Remembrance Day so thank you for reminding me why Canada is such an amazing place to live! 😊😊
And everyone wears poppies over our hearts throughout November to remember the men and women who have died in wars for freedom in the world but not so much for Vietnam. Sorry. Lol
My favourite beach in the entire world is actually on a lake in canada. Sauble beach on lake huron is absolutely amazing. it's all fresh water, super clear, is never too cold and has very little vegetation or muck, and the lake has a really strange undertow that creates sand dunes for kilometers. Walk out 20 feet and you're ankle deep, walk out another 5 feet you're 6 feet deep, swim out another 30 feet and you're hip deep and repeat. The undertow like I mentioned is also super strange as it pulls you sideways. if you sit in the sand in the water you will be pulled along the beach. We'd always set up a little north from the town and as the lake pulls us we'd arrive in the town for lunch, then swim or walk our way back to our spot.
Stress Free? I think that depends on who you ask, I think it is fair to say most of us get up and go to work like anybody else. I am certainly not stress free lol
Me too. But on second thought, VERY 1st world problems.
Yeah everyone has something they stress about, but maybe what they meant was there’s a lot of possibilities of living the lifestyle you want in Canada so you don’t need to experience unwanted stress due to your situation/environment.
@@LAM1895 That's a good point, it was so vague the way it was worded
7:32 it gets significantly hotter than 35°c in B.C. A new highest temperature for Canada was set at 49.6 °C (121.4 °F) recorded on June 29, 2021 at Lytton, BC.
Tyler, if you have any doubts about how "GREAT" Canada is.....come for a visit! I would suggest visiting a couple of times though. You will probably be AMAZED by the gorgeous summers we have, and then again by the winters that we are famous for! I really can't imagine living anywhere else in this world, except my beautiful country. Cheers, and have an awesome day eh? LOL!

@@zenonorth1193 😂
I would add that you should probably visit a different part of the country each time you visit. Here in the part of southern Ontario where I live, there are no real mountains but if you go see the Canadian Rockies out west they are amazingly beautiful!
I live in a smaller city in canada, pop 120,000 or so and our city is extremely diverse. This diversity has increased in the last ten years and almost every person i’ve spoken with is good with it. Ranging from feeling it’s great to good to ok, but only one person who seemed to feel negatively about this. And even that person still behaved nicely towards immigrants.
hey bud it is Remembrance Day here in Canada. November 11th on the 11th Hour the 11th minute. We remember the fallen troops who died in the first World War. It's sort of a commonwealth thing. It's like Veterans Day. But we take it a little bit serious. Catch you on the next vid
I have lived in Canada over 20 years now, and I have been to the hospital for my own injury/illness one time, and I pay those taxes for healthcare gladly. Last year my dad had near heart attack followed by a triple bypass surgery and 2 weeks stay at the hospital. Visiting him in the hospital, my feelings were absolutely re-affirmed. Peace of mind without the fear of bankruptcy is worth the tax money. It is unfathomable to me how a first world country has a system that could bankrupt their citizens at the worst possible time, right as they find out they have to deal with health issues....or when they are having a child. That is absolutely crippling to low income families and is undoubtedly one of the reason for the huge wealth inequalities in the US.
Hey Tyler, I love your videos! Sometimes you share things about where you live, but could you tell which state you're in? It would help me understand more your reality and the comparisons between your lifestyle and Canada's. Peace from Québec!
I'm not sure how often Tyler replies to comments so....I COULD be wrong about this, but I seem to recall that he mentioned Indiana in a previous video, in a context that suggested to me it was his home state. But I really don't know.
@@zenonorth1193 Thank you! I'll assume this is true until proven wrong.
@@zenonorth1193 Indiana is a cold state in the winter and gets snow, Tyler sounds like he doesn't have much experience with that.
@@SPAMDAGGER22 Good point! Apparently there's a reason I say "I really don't know".
I find one of the coolest traits of Canada is its so sparsely populated yet so urbanized that if you want a peace and quiet in nature, all you usually have to do is walk or drive 15mins out of your apartment or house in a major city and you end up alone in nature
Comedian Doug Stanhope once said...being the best country in the world is like being the prettiest Denny's waitress, still needs a lot of work
Love my country 🇨🇦 Today is Remembrance Day! So remembering all who gave this country our glorious freedom ❤️ I myself would not want to live anywhere else! Our beautiful people, and peacefulness, plus not heavily populated, are the best! I love cities, but find country life more relaxing! May we remain this well cherished country! 😇❤️ Another great, interesting video Tyler! It's so awesome, and respect your time to learn about your friendly neighbour! 👌 Best to you ❤️
I live in a city of 70,000. Within 1 km of my home, I can eat at Indian, Japanese, Greek, Mexican, Korean, and Canadian restaurants. Also available in this city is Vietnamese, Chinese. African, Jamaican, and likely other types of food.
I just saw another "American reacting to Canada" video that took a look at quintessentially Canadian music - specifically the Tragically Hip. If you'd like to take at look at them (they often sang about Canadian topics and are generally regarded as the "Best Canadian Band" of all time), their final show before the death of lead singer Gord Downie - in their hometown of Kingston, Ontario - featured all their best hits and was watched live by roughly 1/3 of all Canadians. My two favourite/two of their most popular and recognizable hits are "Ahead By a Century" and "Wheat Kings".
It is Remembrance Day here. As a Canadian, I just finished paying my respects. One big difference here in Canada. We remember our fallen and serving Veterans here, not for their great battles or victories. We instead choose to honor all the suffering and death in the name of freedom. Lest We Forget.
As for most of this video, I think they got it right. Our kids don't worry about being shot at school. A talk about politics is not going to end in a fight ( most times ). I can be out of the city, under clear skies, and really see nature, 45 minutes away on any weekend I choose. Our healthcare system, though, is failing right now, TBH. The funding needed is just not there.
I dunno, I would argue that our biggest issue for healthcare is staffing. They are burned out from the last few years. My partner and I care for his disabled stepdad and a lot of the services we used to access are cut back only because of being short staffed. I'm seriously considering going back to school to be accredited as a health care assistant to try and do my part to help things get back on track. Same with the lifeguard shortage, my buddy doesn't have kids but was so bothered that we couldn't open one of the kids' pools at a local park that he is already done his first level of lifeguard training. We will all pull together and make it better. I really believe that. Hope you are well!
Thank you Tyler. I love your points of view about Canada. These videos make me proud!
Happy Remembrance day to my favourite typical, average American!!
🇨🇦
I live in Victoria, BC and the west coast is very laid back. Part of it is we live on an island and the natural beauty being surrounded by water. We also hardly ever get snow which brings many Canadians here in winter.
Hey Tyler, here in Nova Scotia we are surrounded by 7,400 km coastline. With over 40 named beaches and hundreds of unnamed.
Thank you so much for your videos! It makes me so proud to be Canadian!
I have a Remembrance Day ceremony for my family who served, and joined in live in Ottawa on this Remembrance Day. The modest, intelligent dignity of all who've served and are serving was fantastic. Canada is distinctly different in many ways, but safetly, healthcare, education, nature and various cultures all mingling without issue are some of my favorite. Sharing with my fellow Candians, and all who served and serve in their families. Lest we Forget.
Aw, Tyler, I'm a proud Canadian but that doesn't mean I don't see flaws here in Canada. The United States has a wonderful history and, yes, they are going through some tough times right now but the Americans are resilient and will come through with flying colors. Thank you for presenting these videos in such a balanced fashion. And for your humor! I mostly smile throughout your whole videos.
Those of us who live in areas of Canada that has permafrost aren't affected by it in the summer months. It may be permanently frozen some feet down, but it doesn't affect us growing good crops. Because of the permafrost, you won't see buildings over maybe 5 stories, and less the further north you go. All of the capitols are not as far north as many smaller cities, towns, and villages. That's why tall buildings exist in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton(and it is central Alberta), Calgary, and such more southern cities.
I appreciate how open you are to having your perception changed. Thanks for taking the time to make this video
Hey Tyler, if you ever get around to doing a 23&me or something similar, let us know if you have some Canadian roots in there somewhere. I get some real Canadian vibes from you. Cheers!!
I’ve always thought that if you can stop and help someone even if it’s just answering a question,why wouldn’t you. It’s such an easy thing to do. I live in a tiny town close to the American border in B.C. and summer heat has been known to reach 40 or 42o Celsius!!
Great video Tyler. I agree and love the mix of historic and modern buildings in our cities. I live in Toronto, and the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) is one of my favourite buildings because I find the architecture so cool. It's an old historic Romanesque-style building constructed in 1912, I believe, but a more modern portion was added on to it, and it looks really cool as a result.
Yes! The big crystal glass thing that houses the dinosaur fossils! So awesome
Honestly, as a Canadian, I'm not sure we're any friendlier than any other country, it's just we live next door to the US, so we seem friendlier by comparison.
Agreed with many if not all… but have to add… our space isn’t about building on, many of us hope to preserve nature as much as possible to keep to explore and enjoy as is.
I am sure I speak for everyone when I say it is truly flattering for you to showcase our country in such a kind and complimentary way. We aren't used to a lot of attention.
I’m sure that between all the Canadian viewers that we could help Tyler couch surf all over Canada so he could see it for himself!
As a Canadian who just loves Canada, I do believe we have some incredible folks that live here. I’ve lived my life in Ontario, and we have some very nice people. I’ve travelled a lot in my 57yrs, and always feel we have some of the most polite people.
Polite and friendly are not the same though...Toronto is polite but not friendly at all. You want friendly...the east coast is special.
@@Veggamattic I hope one day I can have the pleasure and adventure to get out to the east coast. With my bulldogs of course lol.
I'm a Soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces & today is Remembrance Day Tyler! Respect SVP
I love our country. Especially our culture on the East Coast . In Nova Scotia, we are the one of the most laid back provinces in Canada. Fresh air, seafood, home of the Bluenose, home of Canada's Roswell, Shag Harbr.1967, and warm lovely people. A simplicity to living.
you are right. Most of the nicest people are in The maritimes but it is changing unfortunately . The lack of respect of 500 years of the french language in Canada thinking english is superior. Very USA culture and xenophobic
One other comment… Winter is the drawback to living here! It’s definitely not for everyone. As long as a person is prepared you should be alright.
Thank You to all of our veterans from all branches of service over the decades!
Jeff...100% agree. That's why I head south every winter. Lately I escape to Down under in Aussie and NZ. As was mentioned in the video Australians (also Kiwis) are just like Canadians in general. I refer to Australia as 'Canada with better weather''. 😉
If you luv Canada but don’t care for winter then move to Vancouver 😊 That way you can drive about an hour to get to winter when you want it 👍🏼😊
@@dbird1356 I only said it wasn’t for everyone. I lived in Langley and New Westminster long enough, no thanks. It’ll be the Sparwood area after another year or two in Manitoba for the winter reminders lol
Being nice to people is a virtue.
Kindness is the cheapest form of love for all.
Yes priceless.
in general, in canada, we say sorry even if it's our fault and we always hold the doors for anyone, anywhere, anytime. Being polite is important to us.
I mean if it is your fault, you should say sorry. I think you may mean the other way around.
@@therabbits69 Yeah, i ment the other way around, thanks for pointing it out. I think the point i wanted to make was that specifically in USA (can't tell in other countries), they never excuse themselves whatever the situation is. The other person is always to blame and they tend to not really care about others in general as they are very self centered. No wonder the idea of universal healthcare and other "socialist/communist" ideas are badly viewed.
Literally an eastern Canadian thing 😂
@@kingryeeye3812
It's done a lot in Vancouver too. People tend to be kind in most provinces across Canada.
Everyone says sorry when it's their fault.
Canadians are famous for apologising when not at fault.
We've even enacted a law that precludes admission of guilt if a Canadian suspected of a crime utters the nearly involuntary "sorry" during interrogation.
I think being one of the best countries in the world is definitely an accomplishment to be proud of.
I have to say that this video was cool because I have personally seen pretty much all of the images and wildlife that was shown. People DO tend to be drawn to the largest cities but for those of who don’t, the clean air, the wildlife, clean water, etc is awesome! Since it is Remembrance Day today, I deeply thank all our veterans that are still here, as well as those that have left us. As a side note.... TYLER you always say the country you are reviewing is amazing! Canada, UK, etc 😂
Love your videos Tyler. Keep up the great job man.
in 2019 more then 10,000 US residents made the move to Canada
I have found your videos so interesting. I am a Canadian born and raised in Nova Scotia ( Latin for New Scotland btw!) Canadians want to coexist. We don’t need to be first. But we are very funny! We also have our weaknesses and should assert ourselves more…..but it’s just not that important. We love peace.
Thanks for your entertaining and thoughtful exploration of our country. As a life-long BC native, I would like to recommend a video that well encapsulates our diverse province:
BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA (2022) | 14 Amazing Places to Visit in BC
posted by the site 'World Wild Hearts'
I find that most who post about BC are not native, and miss the majority of what we have to offer.
Cheers!
Tyler I have to say your channel is actually one of my favourite channels in all of the TH-cam land. I am from Calgary Alberta and I was thinking you should have us do a video segment on the Calgary Stampede ‘the greatest outdoor show on earth’ and you should really come down for that it’s like west world meets Disneyland lol but there’s just so many different things you can talk about and it’s just such a really cool event that we have the privilege of putting on every year. If you need help with putting that segment on just let me know if
My experience as a Canadian , has been that the kindest, most friendly, giving, hospitable people, who would do just about anything for a complete stranger are those who are in the East Coast,, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland,,,,funny too😜one more comment ,, I have witnessed more fellow Canadians as well as myself. Say “ I’m sorry” after bumping into a chair!!
As a Canadian, my theory for the low criminality here is that it's so cold even criminals would rather not go out 😂
I thought it was because all the crime happens in Ottawa...
@@drdelewded Yes the government is trying to ban legal hunting guns , that look scary. Crime is done here most frequently, (99%) with smuggled guns from the US. We are not all so content.
@@drdelewded no,spelled it wrong,it's S-U-R-R-E-Y
@@edwardcote1331 I meant the Guv are the criminals..
I agree 😂
I enjoyed your comments and reactions to this video. I have visited Long Beach on the western coast of Vancouver Island. It is stunning in the fact that is is known for the wildness of the beach and the surf and people visit during the winter months for storm watching. Hopefully you can find some videos to watch on places like Tofino, Long Beach on the island.
I really enjoy your videos. I just have to point out a point of view from a Canadian that is native to the land. I am indigenous. Yes, Canada is very accepting of immigrants but not to the original people. Look up stats of the races populating our prisons and our foster care system. Look up the poverty level of reserves in Canada, the unsafe drinking water in many reserves across Canada. Many people are oblivious to this, because it’s so much easier to concentrate on the good. But when you sweep it under the rug then really is it good? Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the people that have fought for our freedom in Canada, including many indigenous people. The language speakers were integral in that success.
If Canada is so inclusive, then why are the First Nations, Métis and Inuit not included?
Excellent point! There is far too much talking about this and not enough action. The water problem alone drives me crazy. We have so much fresh water but many people are still having to boil their water.Just how much did we spend for the Pope to come and say, "Sorry"? Fewer words, more action needed.
Thank you for pointing this out. I am not indigenous but I have been hoping Tyler would address indigenous communities in a video one of these days. Even if it would be too dark for his channel to discuss in depth the suffering throughout history (and in the present time) but to acknowledge the beautiful cultures and histories and traditions that can never be erased! I really love places in Ontario like the archaeology museum and the mcmichael gallery that focus on preserving and celebrating indigenous communities, artwork, history, and culture! I’ve been trying to learn more about Toronto’s indigenous history and theres surprisingly few TH-cam videos I’ve found, but I’m trying to get more books and such so I can learn more directly from indigenous voices. It can be difficult mentally sometimes to balance being grateful to Canada for accepting my family as immigrants while also knowing that those systems are the same systems that committed horrors against the native people. It’s so easy for the world to think of Canada as the metropolitan Toronto and Vancouver and Montreal and forget how much else is out there, both good and bad. I have family in the prairies so I know too well about how racist Canada can be, on an individual and societal level. The reparations are truly nowhere near enough. An Inuit friend of mine has lived her whole life severely impacted by the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women, and it opened my eyes at an early age to the serious neglect from this country’s government. I’ll never forget my horrors when I learned of the residential schools and saw a map of just how far and wide they were.. but it’s also so easy for us immigrants to focus on the pain and forget how vibrant and beautiful Canada’s indigenous peoples are and always have been! I think if we as immigrants can direct more energy toward education, celebration and appreciation, it will go a long way in terms of fighting discrimination and systemic racism. My husband’s father grew up on the tyendinaga mohawk reserve and it’s crazy to see how even this month they are still fighting for reparations to do with unsurrendered land. Better late than never I suppose…
Correction, white immigrants. My city has a large population of people from the philippines that get treated poorly. Then you have the complaints about refugees, who aren’t white. I haven’t seen any outrage about Ukrainian refugees but those from Syria? Yikes.
You are absolutely right. Canada has much to be embarrassed about relating to treatment of native population. There needs to be immediate actions taken to correct the injustices. 😢
I appreciate that indigenous people were (and still are by some) treated horribly but I truly think many in the country are aware and genuinely trying to make amends. For comparison look at the US trail of tears and marching native peoples to the worst real estate in the land. I don't think compensation or recognition of what was done there is even remotely on the radar and many are still living in terrible conditions without safe water and other facilities. Of course that is no excuse for us or what happened here. We have a long way to go but I believe we are really trying. Our Governor General is an example of the respect owed and given. I respect the traditions, languages and culture of the FIRST Canadians.
Temperatures routinely reach 40C (104F) in the south Okanagan Valley of BC in the summer. I lived there for several years. It's semi-desert. They have sagebrush, rattlesnakes and scorpions. Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island (where I am now) almost never sees snow. We have palm trees growing here. Canada is not one vast arctic wasteland.
situation from a local canadian :
i live in a small village near the biggest city of my area
i work in said city, and everyday it take me maximum 15 min with my car to go to work, on my way to work i pass by most grocery and store i need to get what i need on a daily basis
i have minimal scholarship (by the way english is my second langage) but i work for the city urban transport with a decent job and it pay well
i once lost my wallet in a busy part of the city, and 1h later i found it, with all my card including the money in it.
i live 2h away from Quebec city which is one of the biggest and most gorgeous city so i can go there and come back easily in the same day
i got access to any museum, park, and spectacle within a 30 min drive
my apartment and my car didn"t cost me a fortune and they are in quite a decent state so i still have the money for hobby
i dont think i could go anywhere that could offer me all i have right now that easily
Tyler when are you gonna finally move to canada LOL! As a canadian i love watching your videos.
I love Canada and being a Canadian. But still learning things from your videos Tyler LOL. Keep doing what you do it's awesome. Yes there are some beautiful areas here! Hopefully one day you get to visit.
About that "escape to natural beauty" ...pretty much anywhere in Canada has natural beauty very close by. Obviously large cities have limited natural vistas , but they certainly do have them in the form of parks, harbours and other areas where natural sights or gardens are set aside. In the smaller cities and towns, a very short drive or walk will take you to a lovely place to walk or find enjoyment in your surroundings or engage in a sport of some type.
I lived 50 years in the eastern maritimes of Canada, moved west the the beautiful okanogan valley where I will live out the rest of my years, and if someone asked which I liked the most, I would not be able to choose one over the other. Two beautiful areas of this country with it's own treasures to explore, and do I miss the rugged eastern area, you bet I do, but now I am busy exploring an area completely different, and loving it. 😊
07:50 we have 4 season=summer,autumn,winter and spring so yeah I love my country🇨🇦🍁
Remembrance Day - a Heartfelt thank you to our Vets. Lest we forget.
By the way, 'best' is so subjective.
Always appreciate your posts.
