- We arrived Sunday to present our creative concept ideas to TourismPEI for their 2017 ad campaign. We spent the last two days exploring the island and speaking to Islanders. This 4 minute video vignette was filmed, edited, produced and posted with the 48 hours that we have been here by our good friend Michael DMNikas of epicReel. Special thanks go out to the talented PEI singer / songwriter Jill Chandler.
I from Woodstock nb and I just gotta say...PEI peeps are AMAZING ppl ..was treated so well during my family visit there. thanks pei
Yes, that's what happens to tourists who visit an island that is dependent on tourism in order to survive. However, if you live here, you will experience something completely different. The locals have an inbred distrust of strangers, and if you "Come from away" you will never-and I do mean NEVER-be completely welcomed by the locals if you weren't born on the island.
I love to hear my dad stories about growing up on PEI before cars, electricity and indoor plumbing!
wow thats fascinating !
Love PEI. Cannot wait to return.
wonderful place, I want to live there, someday!
There is definitely a large difference between visiting a location, and living in a location. I'd suggest that you not confuse the two, as PEI is only fantastic if you are trapped in a city, and aren't particularly fond of city life. Even then, PEI isn't that great. In fact, I'd describe it as awful, and one of the biggest mistakes I've made in my life.
Living in alberta, PEI will forever be home, and i guess i'll never stop talking like a pirate haha
hoping to be their soon..with God will..
the place is beautiful, I submitted my EOI already, I pray to God that I'd be given an invitation to apply.
visage 1125 did you get the invitation!
😂 I go away for the day and I’m glad to get back on the Red soil 🙃
Is PEI a place to find a "homeland" for a couple of "university bugs" who've been working&jumping between several countries ?
It depends on your preferences. Coming to PEI means that you really appreciate zero vacancy rates, low-paying seasonal work that will not pay your bills, high prices, zero opportunities, 100% industrialized landscape that has been poisoned by over a century of poor farming practices, zero wildlife, highest cancer rates in the country, seeing a doctor is a day-long affair, the most densely populated province in the country, the winters are insanely difficult due to the continuous gale-force winds, and the best part: you will never be fully embraced by the community if you "Come from away" as they are not overly fond of people who weren't born here. Oh, and they're not overly fond of hiring people who weren't born here either, unless you want to scrub out toilets. When we moved here, the only thought in our minds was "Is this someone's sick joke?!" Our second thought was, "When can we leave?"
@@mangore623 is it really as bad as you described? I was thinking of moving there as it is advertised as a really warm and welcoming place. But I had been suspicious about how they’ll treat foreigners. Because I know that most close knit communities tend to not be fond of foreigners.
Hopefully you read this and reply. Thank you.
I had gotten the idea that while the English that is spoken in Vancouver is American with only trivial differences (aboat), the English spoken in other parts of Canada might be different. I was wrong. It now seems that the English spoken all over Canada is as different from American English as the English I speak is from my next door neighbor's. In other words, my original idea that American English is Canadian English and Canadian English is American English was right.
Quabledistocficklepo I agree....it’s Canadian English. Like us here in Australia we are also a Commonwealth country and our English is very much Aussie English.......thankfully we don’t sound American.......closer to Queens English😜
Americans and Canadians can tell the difference in their accents. For comparison, North Americans often find Aussie and Kiwi accents to sound the same. The slang between Canada and America is what really sets them apart! That, and the way Canadians pronounce their R's is much different from Americans haha. Really though, just because they sound the same doesnt mean they are! Canadians are proud to be different from Americans and are often offended by people saying otherwise.
@@Sailorshayna so true and the way we pronounce A's is different, which many may not hear at first glance. In the states they do have a wide variety of accents while in Canada our accent does not change as much across the country say for in some smaller towns. We also use the British spelling not American, for example Colour and nor color, or cheque and not check (though I think thats also from our French influence in Canada) It is said that in Canada we say sorry pronouncing the o like an o, while in the states they pronounce it Sarry. I have to say though as a Canadian I have never heard someone say "aboot" instead of about. I do live on the boarder of the United States and I find even if I cross the boarder the accent is quite different, though perhaps not so much for someone whose first language is not English.
