I've been watching Charlie for a hot minute! Every now and then I put in a search for Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Can't believe this popped up! It was always the nearest bigger city to my hometown of Port Dover. I lived there back around 1989-1993. Worked down on Barton Street. Took the train all the way downtown to catch a mountain train because for latter half of time I lived there.. I lived on the mountain! The early part of living there I lived around Gage Ave. I barely recall any of this! Things have changed
@@Nite640 I grew up Barton and Sherman right by the bar lol that area gets sketch af at night, have had 2 friends shot dead there and tons of home invasions, hookers and drugs.
Nice to see that you made it up to Hamilton . The downtown area is a liitle run down and could use some serious construction but still good enough to go down to . Dr.Disc on Wilson and James St. is only reason i still go downtown , Barton St. is problably the worst area . It's still home though . Steeeltown reppin' !!!!!
I am sorry but I am from midwest in America and it took QUITE a while to me to see some "hood" places. Idk if Charli just went there too late because the place looked like they were fixing it up. Saw some new homes, updated homes. Saw some well managed lawns, etc. Of course its probably what "hood" is to each person.

It's somewhow weird to think that Hamilton, as distinct from greater Toronto, is larger than the metro areas of cities like Belfast, Sarajevo, Ljubljana, Skopje, etc.
I work in Hamilton in Healthcare, and live in Mississauga. I'm not a big fan of the city of Hamilton, particularly Main Street/Hwy 8. It is funny however to see videos of Toronto or Hamilton and have people call these areas "bad", and then look at videos of Chicago, LA, New York in their "bad" areas. No comparison.
This is one small, north end, part of the city. There are numerous areas in Hamilton that are newer, with landscaping, parks and more affluent touches etc. This very small view does not represent the entire city.
@@marlak4203 The neighbourhoods in Winnipeg such as Lord Selkirk Park, Dufferin, William Whyte, Point Douglas, Centennial, West Alexander, Central Park, and Spence are a little sketchy and have a high violent crime rate by Canadian standards.

Wow, you're in my city! Been watching you for a long time! TBH, you didn't visit the worst areas, but still hilarious to see my city here. Wish I could have met you!😍
When he crossed Emerald and Barton is probably the worst area in the city. 2 shootings and 6 suspicious fires all within a couple months. And thats just events that got reported
ok well thank you cause i was looking at it like: it took him a while and some edits to finally get to the areas. Then the areas had a lot of updated homes with some nice lawns. Things were neat. You can tell by the style of the homes they are old but that is all. Nothing abandoned except at the last few seconds. I was really looking forward to some Canadian hoods compared to here in America. Lol.
Come to Cornwall Ontario. It's not the most famous city but we have alot of rundown decrepit houses and sketchy people especially in the East end. If you ever go to Ottawa and Montreal it's right between the 2 cities an hour apart right off the NY state border and 20 minutes from the Quebec border. The city was once a mill town now notorious for drug smuggling and drug abuse you definitely won't regret coming to this town. The best time to visit would be on the 1st of the month in the East end because that's when most of the action is happening. Also what makes Cornwall unique from the rest of Canada is the fact that most of the houses in the old parts of town that were built in the 1900s for lower class factory workers are still up and being rented out by slum Lord's to welfare people and drug addicts where as the rest of the Canada most of those houses were torn down for development and those people were moved to low income apartment complexes.
Not accurate at all, the first few are but are now illegal apartments. The rest are stilli hanging on, as gentrification makes it's way to this area. BTW that strech of Barton is probably one of the most dangerous once the sun goes down. Most lively too in terms of people watching
I personally love Hamilton. It’s smaller than Toronto but has the real city feel unlike Burlington, Oakville, Richmond Hill etc. has a great art/music/food/bar scene and always has things to do. Burlington is a suburb city filled with plazas and franchise businesses. I choose Hamilton (rough edges and all) any day.
Idk why charlie went to hamilton only gangs or pollies out there are youth gangs lom and bna and gangs from toronto come there ot to trap. He should of went to toronto instead for more blocks to check . Hamilton is mostly just known for crackhead activitys and the opioid problem. They recently declared a emergency over the number of od"s
This video looks recent. For the most part, Hamilton just doesn't have a ton of traffic. People here will complain when it's more backed up than usual, but our "backed up" never lasts long (unless there's a major accident)
Lived there for 50 yrs. I used to be a proud Hamiltonian. I'm so glad I got out of that dumpster fire next to Toronto and Vancouver's east side That place has become an armpit
Hahahahahaha! The Canadian Hood! Love my Canadians! It's the Old Country, to me. Canada is where the French, Irish and German parts of my family are from. On both sides. It's a marvelous country.
Charlieboi my advice is google the city's bad areas, where the projects are, where the hoods are...you came to toronto twice and didn't do it justice...there's multiple hoods you could of had footage that really would of been hood. You could of went to jungle, egwest, Jane and finch, downtown rexdale, malvern, g way, flemo park, regent park....and many more hoods.
I'm a Hamiltonian giving this a dislike. You are driving too fast to appreciate anything, and there is no commentary as to where you are at the time. How about a do-over?
I've lived here Since I was born, and I will Move away again if it's the last thing I ever do. This Town (Hamilton) is the WORST. I've traveled all around the world, and never have I seen so many messed-up people in the downtown core. Homeless and Crackheads on a WHOLE different level.
This really isn’t it. You missed the only housing project in Hamilton which is (was-it was recently demolished and is, I assume being rebuilt) Jamesville block. Either than that york and mcnabb is rampant with drug activity as is a lot of the east end. Hamilton has gotten worse as fentanyl and tranq dope continue to seize the North American market more and more and it really proliferated since the pandemic and the ensuing economic downturn. That said there is a lot of nice areas, a mass migration of Torontonians seeking affordable housing, and a unesco biosphere 10 min from virtually anywhere in Hamilton proper. Essentially, like every major North American city, it has both good, and bad parts to it
Meh downtown pretty much gentrified now. Sure Barton street is still gross but you never even hit up Oriole etc. Other than that what did you think about the Hammer
Fantastic to see the old and unique streets of Hamilton. SO MUCH character. Great video.✨
