Hey Julie this was such a wonderful and fun video to watch!! You’re so thoughtful and eloquent with your responses to the questions you had gotten asked
Emergency rooms in the US often have hours long waits. Even going to your normal doctor with a scheduled appointment takes 20-40 minute waits. Doctors are scheduled with 15 minute appointments which is insane because they always go over time. Everything in the US is driven by profit and the insurance industry. It sucks.
So are you planning on having any more little ones?! My oldest is 14 and before then”reset” baby lol the youngest is 6. We now have a 2yo and newborn (hence “reset “ baby haha) praying the Lord will bless me with a few more ❤️🥰🙏🏼
I just moved back to Ontario from Alberta. Sales tax is 5 percent. Fuel, groceries, housing is as expensive as the rest of canada. You homeschool so this won't be a concern, alberta spends the least in public education. Doctor scarcity is getting better and wait times to see specialist is quite good. Weather, summer is very dry and can be very hot 40 plus but not a lot of humidity. Winter, you can reach Temps of minus 57. When you get a major snowdump it is less than a foot at the most. Then a Chinook comes through and you have plus Temps.
Y’all should move to the southern United States. It’s definitely more conservative, closer to beaches, so much warmer and Lord willing a lot better cost of living soon!! I live in North Texas, so you might not want that hot of weather 9 months out of the year! 😆
Im the same with movies! I dont enjoy them at all. I finally realized it was because i get too invested and feel really stressed during the whole thing. But reality game showes, i really enjoy as well.
That’s crazy! Canadians for the most part think in kilometres, and temps in Celsius, yet some thermostats (like ours) are in farenheit. And food is measured in kg, but I still have to translate that to lb to understand if it’s a good deal. We’re in this spot between the UK and the U.S., and can’t quite pick one side. 😂
Eastern Ontario here, wow, I figured bigger/other cities might be different on the front of waiting in the emergency room for hours. I love the universal health care on the one hand that it is very simple, but it definitely is far from a perfect system.
I would love to know if you have a resource/video you could share about doing taxes in Canada as a content creator. I am only making a very tiny amount but I am a bit anxious for that😂
I love our beaches!! They are so nice! We visit one during camping that is just lovely and so many sweet memories. Definitely agree, Ontario has some beautiful water front areas too.
We ordered a big order from the Canadian Maplelea doll company. Surprisingly they offered free shipping if you spent x amount. And I was pleasantly surprised by the prices compared to the American Girl doll company. Factor in the current exchange rate and it was a steal. We love the Maplelea doll company. Wish we were Canadian. Btw surprised your girls don’t own a lovely Maplelea doll
Oh that’s fun that you ordered one to the states! We get the Maplelea catalog and the girls love looking through it. But they only have the much cheaper Walmart 18” dolls.
Big huge differs French and English language. We have no official language but unofficially it is English. And we have an absolutely insane gun culture. It is truly sick.
I've been following what's happening in Canada since the truckers! Would LOVE to have more families like yours in the US, you would be a great addition (especially to Michigan, a very homeschool friendly state 😉)!
Have you lost your mind?? Canada is a Country, NOT the size of a state. I’m older than you so I didn’t get child benefit payments from the government. With 5 children you must get a pretty good sum. We are blessed to have the health care that we have. We might be short of DR’s but fewer people don’t want to be Dr’s. Did you get a carbon tax check? I didn’t pay a school tuition, it came out of my property tax. Our government is in shambles right now but would you want tRUMP to be your leader. He’s a frikken idiot. I’m a very proud Canadian who has been blessed to live here. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. In Saskatchewan i know a handful of people who own guns, there used for hunting once a year. We don’t have guns. We buy half a beef. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍👍👍
Canada is absolutely too big to be one state…this was a question asked jokingly with Trump’s recent statement that he wants to take over Canada. There are many blessings living here for sure, and I’m thankful for it. But we can still look around and consider what would be the best location for us to raise a family 😊

This was great…love following you so much. Excited to watch your homeschooling in high school video. You are so so encouraging. Thank you
Thanks so much for watching!! ☺️

Interesting!
@@mamatofive1 , but true. I’d still rather be here though and would love to know you all made the decision to join us in the future.
I loved this Q&A!
Not in my state it’s very easy to fast here
Not to downplay your experience I think it really just depends on the state you are in
Totally recommend home births also! They are so wonderful and amazing. Just had our 7th natural birth, 6th out of hospital!

Thank you for answering my question! I agree every province has their issues whether it be temperature, isolation, etc. Very tricky decision to make!
Yes!

That is a big difference here in Ontario with the snow…especially living close to the Great Lakes, we can get a LOT!

I'm with you on the no free shipping. I'm in Alaska and they treat us like we're international!
Oh very true! Always listing Hawaii and Alaska as the exceptions 😢
In the UK road signs are in miles per hour & milk is still sold in pints, even though everything else is in metric

Yes, agreed! It is simple, and it’s hard to even think of it being any other way.
You just have to claim your income as self employment.

@ well if you ever want to treat them or have extended family chip in, Maplelea dolls are gorgeous. We have alexi
I like eating breakfast and eating fruit
Look into Oklahoma! We’d love to have you!
You should watch designing women and Golden Girls
Is your high schooler's school work or school schedule different than the others? If so, how is it different?
I wonder if the covid issues were actually Trudeau issues. Fingers crossed things will change soon. I live in Alberta
Yes, the issue is in how it was handled!
How many hours a day does your High Schooler spends on school work? 😊
Big huge differs French and English language. We have no official language but unofficially it is English.
And we have an absolutely insane gun culture. It is truly sick.
Oh yes big difference in language! There are many more I could have mentioned, but didn’t think of them all on the spot 😂
