BC is the only province where I can see myself living long-term. It’s so damn expensive, though. But that’s just additional motivation to become financially independent and try harder.
It’s expensive if you live in Vancouver but the province is much more than that. Kelowna and Victoria are starting to also get expensive but there are so many other places in where you get the BC experience but for a much cheaper cost of living.
@ the whole province is expensive but yeah Vancouver and the stuff around it is extra expensive. But Vancouver is the only city here that is worth living in. Not a fan of small towns or rural places.
@@duantunes9871 Because there's alot of people who move or immigrate in Québec but dont care for a sec about embracing our culture and learn the language. You're a good person but trust me, you're most probably in a minority.
Living on the Quebec side of the Ottawa river across the Parliament Hill, is the best of both worlds. Quebec's lower cost of living and Ontario's higher wages at the same time. You rent or buy on the Quebec side for logging but work on the Ontario side. It is consistently done by the people living here.
I thought you paid more taxes on the first $15,000 in Quebec than in Ontario. Good for families because more tax money spent on them not so good for single people. C'est vrai?
I live in gatineau quebec for this reason. Quebec has higher income taxes but there are some perks like cheap daycare and others so YMMV but I think it's a great way to get into the real estate market and eventually when your salary gets high enough you can move over to the Ottawa side if you like.
This is a pretty good overview. Personally, I have lived in BC, Yukon, Alberta, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island. In fact, I lived in the Yukon for almost 50 years, and because of all the different places I've lived in the various provinces and the territory mentioned, I have a pretty good feel for much of the country. While the categories you cover seem sensible, I would say that it isn't as simple as that. While average income versus cost of living is a good way of sizing up affordability, it can be really skewed for newcomers to any region. The Yukon is a very good example. The economy there is highly driven by government jobs which tend to pay more and offer better benefits than the private sector. However, obtaining a good government position can be extremely difficult, especially in a small place where social and familial connections can complicate things. This high paid public sector will artificially inflate the average income figure for that jurisdiction and make the picture appear rosier than it is.. Using a mean income would be a better approach, I suspect. For most newcomers who have to work in service industries, for example, poor wages and high cost of living becomes a real problem in the north. Also, it is worth asking how business and governments are collaborating to regulate the labour market. Sometimes government policies and programs can both assist or impede your access to employment, depending on factors you have no control over. Economics aside, if you value wilderness and nature, there isn't a better place in Canada than the Yukon Territory. As for the culture and entertainment item, respectfully, I disagree with much of your analyses. If you are looking at big ticket items and large venues, that is one thing, but community engagement and connection to culture is another. While Ontario, for instance, may have the venues and the names, places like PEI and Yukon have a strong grass roots connection to culture with many small community oriented events happening quite often. PEI in particular seems to have lots of local events happening consistently that really engage people. There is a strong cultural connection to music in PEI and throughout the Maritime provinces, while the Yukon is especially supportive of First Nations arts and cultural activities as well as summertime music festivals in places like Whitehorse, Dawson City and Atlin (yes, Atlin is in BC, but it's a northern border town that is very connected to the Yukon--see how things get skewed?). Given the noted small population of the Yukon and PEI, many of these grassroots events may be more accessible than many of the big (often expensive) events that make places like Ontario, or BC, look like better options. When talking about crime, yeah, PEI is pretty awesome! Western and Northern Canada not so much, but again, it depends on where exactly you are living and also to some extent on your personal circumstances, local neighbourhood, and lifestyle choices. This is an area where expectations can be conditioned by experience. For example, I never thought of Whitehorse as being a high crime area, and yet I would never leave my vehicle or home unlocked and I wouldn't be surprised if someone rifled through an unlocked vehicle and made off with valuables, while on PEI, many people I know routinely leave their homes and cars unlocked and never expect anything evil to occur. Anyway, you guys put together a good overview but the only way to truly know is to go somewhere and see for yourself. Generally speaking, Canada is awesome, its just big and every place you go is unique.
I've immigrated to CA/Ontario 10 years ago. Now, I am moving to New Brunswick just for fun (cheap housing helps too). According to Reddit, they don't want me to come but I am gonna do it anyways :D
My favorite is Ontario. I currently live near Ottawa but I am hoping to retire somewhere South of London Ontario. The small historical and scenic towns really appeal to me. I see you have a video on that. I'll watch that next.
Despite the small size PEI actually has a thriving arts scene! Lots of live music, local theatre productions, and lots of appreciation for the arts! For the size of PEI there is a lot of arts, however it can be easily overlooked with statistics, especially as Summer (tourist season) is among the busiest!
@1430-1500. When dealing with infrastructure, you should compare the actual amount of infrastructure value to the population. If you made it into infrastructure/population, your rankings would change a lot. After all, there are only 190,000 (roughly) people in PEI, so they don't need to have the same amount to have a comparable infrastructure as Ontario, which has roughly 11 Million people.
I have been in Canada for just a year and a half and have already seen 5 provincess and 3/5 most beautiful roads in Canada 😅 there is no way BC healthcare is good ! I lived in BC and I loved it but it basically doesn't have healthcare at all ! I moved to saskatoon and the healthcare is significantly better !!
Greetings from PEI. Well done. I've lived in Ontario, Quebec and now PEI. As an older retired person, 61, PEI suits my temperament at this stage of my life. I moved here in 1997, just as the bridge opened. Our population at that time was about 131,000, we are now about 178,000, which is still small but so is our landmass. Our healthcare is in rough shape, having worked in I.T for the province in healthcare for seventeen years, I've see the numbers and the wait times. Cost of living has skyrocketed since 1997 as well. That being said, if I was still in Ontario (Ottawa area) I would still be working. As far as weather, we really don't get much winter until Mid-January
Very interesting and honest considering that both of you if I am right left Quebec after living there for a while. I am in Quebec it has its share of problems more sometimes than other provinces but the rich culture and affordability makes life here interesting. At the end of the day though we all have our preferences so to me all provinces have their pros and cons and it depens what you are looking for.
A tad bit off... NB offers medical Jobs in all fields, in fact it soo over looked it becoming an Issue in NB to find staff for this field of work. We also lack a strong Entrepreneur base that the province needs to be bring back competitive business. We do have a lot of "seasonal" jobs cause winters are not the best time for fishing, lumber, oil (travel/summers off ) in those industries which raises our Unemployment rates based on the seasons and work types.
I was growing up in the 90’s Russia as well. Exceptional times indeed! I moved to Canada 2.5 years ago, and currently I’m looking for a province to move to (from Ontario with love?)
Interesting. Ontario and Quebec are also huge areas for forestry. Forestry is the main industry in northern Ontario followed by mining. I think its better to separate forestry and agriculture when discussing job opportunities since they typically occur in separate regions, i.e. there's little to no forestry in PEI. Also, I believe that Kluane is pronounced klu-ayn-ee.
It is unfair to compare average provincial incomes with average provincial rents. Many of the workers making 6 figure annual incomes in Alberta do not rent in Alberta, they live in BC, which drives up the demand for rentals in our neotropical climate cities such as Vangrovy
Quebec is probably the best province for you both in terms of safety as a lesbian couple. The country has turned incredibly hostile to 2slgbtia+ people in recent years throughout English Canada.
Well, let's be frank about it. Québec is not hostile to gay couples, precisely I would say francos and the ethnic groups who have joined them culturally are not hostile. But there are minorities who have disdain for homosexuality.
Quebec gets everything handed to them by everyone else. A Quebecker can come work in NB. But I'm not allowed to go work in Quebec. Figure that out. Pure prejudice. I love Alberta, however Alberta is just as bad but in different ways. I love that I can go get a job in Alberta, but they all too often like to act as if they are the end all/live all for Canada. They act as if they are the only province in Canada that has hard work ethic. They act as if they are the life jacket of Canada, and are the one and only resourceful province. And that's rather annoying. Tons of Albertas work force come from the East Coast. Sometimes I think the Maritime provinces (including Newfoundland) should be their own country. We'd have fishing, farming, lumber, oil/gas, uranium, maple syrup and water. That's everything Alberta has and then some.
Well even if PEI has more festivals than Alberta (which it doesn't), summer is just 3-4 months of the year. And it's all subjective as some people like some types of festivals over the others
Although it's flattering to see my own province ranked number 1. Bear in mind things tend to change overtime. Overall, quality of life has decreased througout Canada for the last 10 years. I can feel it in my own province, Québec. Life is much a struggle nowadays than before. But there's also another component which is not measured here, I'm talking about regional pride. For instance, Newfoudlanders were enthusiatic about the future of their province since the new deal with Hydro-Québec. Perhaps people over there foresee a better future for their province. A "feel-good" sensation is the only thing that matters.
O don't you "syp' mine sol' na ranu" about the years of commercial markets & raketiers. My midninties girlfriend's father was mardered for the benefit of his building company's business partner.(Before my time). The tragedy 's that their family 's moved from russia into my town nowadays been shelled from zaes' side. Myself 's stack by irish sea where you 're an emigrant for life.
Infrastructure per capita is all that matters, not the total amount of infrastructure or else China would come out on top and Norway would be classified third world! Ditto GDP.
Excellent work.. lot of hard work... But it will be the same 3-4 switching places... now that you are both Canadian and USA-Can controversy is going on 51st why not make a similar video on usa states for canadians wanting to move on the other side 😉
Newfoundland has to many problems with addiction and stealing to pay for said addiction. Newfoundland has a corruption problem and racism with a lack of law enforcement in rural areas. The drunk driving is out of control and insurance fraud drives up car insurance. None of the mega projects ever work out it's why I am for the hydro electric deal with Quebec and Quebec Hydro, they are better at running projects and keeping costs down.
Regina in Saskatchewan is where we want to move to but this video is making us look at researching more about Alberta since Ontario isn't newcomers friendly
I'm thrilled to see that Alberta and Québec, the provinces I was considering moving to, rank so highly in many areas! Great to see that you’ve incorporated sources from the Fraser Institute as well 😎 Wishing Anastasia and Anna a Happy New Year 🎉 Lorenzo 🇮🇹🇪🇺 P.s. Quebéc is not a nation (even if someone wants to be it)
I was born here in Quebec but as an anglophone I have been treated more and more as an outsider in my own home province. Quebec is great if you're French speaking ( I am bilingual but as far as the QC government is concerned I still speak English which they hate) or rich ( the latter is contributing to the Quebec economy)..They want people like me out so I am obliging them and moving to the province you ranked as 2nd worst PEI. Because in my mind, after 51 years of Quebec BS it is the worst province to live in.
Your comment about you being an Anglo bilingual and Quebec's government not liking it, couldn't be more irrelevant. You can live your whole life not speaking a word of french in some parts of Quebec (Montreal area, eastern townships, etc... I suspect your rant has more to do with the fact that Quebec is trying to protect it's declining cultural language. If born in Quebec and at 51 AND bilingual you still didn't get it then (bon débarras) and be happy IN ENGLISH wherever you go.
@ actually it’s the verbal abuse I get whenever I speak English in public. A woman working at the Walmart I was shopping at left her counter to come yell at me because I was speaking English to my then 3 year old daughter. They want to protect their language that’s fine but they don’t have the right to attack ppl who speak a language other than theirs.
@@terrythornton39 I get that. I'm pretty sure it's and isolated case here and there. There are morons in every shapes and colors in all parts of the world whether it's about race, identity, religion, language etc... Some ppl get harassed just for having a Quebec license plate while travelling across Canada. Then again those are isolated cases and we can't generalize.
Quebec 😮 that's a bit surprising but i can understand why i actually moved to gatineau quebec from Toronto and I am liking it so far , i feel like im always learning new little perks of living in Quebec. Je travail en mon francais
I don't think these people realize just how poor Quebec is and how much GDP per capita impacts quality of life. The high taxes make it even less livable. Quebec is far poorer than even Mississippi. At least BC, Ontario, and especially Alberta, are comparable to US states. And I say this as someone who has lived in Quebec.
BC and Ontario and all the blue states in the US are good only if you are a millionaire. Quebec is the only progressive place that's still affordable on an average income.
Great video, it’s always nice to learn about Canada. I disagree with Quebec being the best province though. I live in Nova Scotia, that by itself makes my province the best 😜😜 Thanks for uploading, I enjoyed it
Sure Quebec may be first in this ranking, but you have to learn French. This is a big deal breaker for many English speakers who do not want to learn a 2nd language.
It is tough learning another language, but it can be achieved. In Montréal, around 22% of its residents speak two or more tongues, making it the most multilingual city in North America. Bonne Année les amis !
@@user-mrfrog 22% is wrong though... As of the latest census (2021), 56% of Montrealers were bilingual (aka people that spoke 2 or more languages). The number must be even higher now...
Complete joke, there is a reason why Quebec is the most hated province in Canada and consequently the worst province in Canada. Ontario should also be the second worst province in Canada. Without a doubt, Alberta should be first.
There is no place on earth better than the province of Alberta. Get the government out of our way, and we will save this country. It's time to unleash canada unmatched resources and the CANADIAN peoples unmatched work ethic
Two comments. Quebec and Ontario have superior (used loosely) infrastructure and health care because it is paid for by Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan via transfer payments. But despite that, no one I know would rather live in Ontario than BC or even Alberta. When I was growing up (I'm 69), many of BC's residents were refugees from the prairie provinces, and they didn't head east when it came time to move. And if you don't speak French, forget about Quebec. FWIW, I've lived in Quebec, Alberta and, back now in BC.
Seems to me that you also did a ranking by city and Montreal was your top city. So I'm curious so as to why don't you move to Quebec? Quebec can have all that, but the problem remains that the language remains a barrier to people there. And the culture of the people there and the politics will make it difficult for people to integrate. When you are in Ontario, you feel Canadian because everyone is from abroad and wants to become a Canadian. But in Quebec, they are independentists and the locals dont feel like being canadian at all. As they say it themselves they are Quebecers and unfortunately being a Quebecer is more linked to an ethnicity than to a nationality, since there is no Quebec country and no passport. I have never met someone of foreign background (even europeans like romanians) saying they are Quebecers but on the side the Quebec de souche people always introduce themselves as being quebecers and not canadians. In conclusion, all those factors will never make you feel at home (Complete integration to the society there might be quite tough to achieve compared to other provinces).
Great question and observations. One of us (Anastasia) lived in Montreal for 10 years before moving to Toronto/Ontario for a job offer. The appeal of Toronto was in salaries and general scale of work. You've got a point on never feeling like a "quebecois", they are more protectionist of their own culture - and rightfully so. It is a lot easier to blend in in Ontario. Having said that, we travel to Montreal often to see friends and family, but the biggest thing holding us back from moving is the climate - we like the mild climate of southern Ontario. if you're curious - we made a video about comparing TO and MTL: ua-cam.com/video/9R2q8itEt3E/v-deo.htmlsi=Cr2t1I0dIsDqO6Zk . This is a video made a few years ago, so in retrospect, I no longer fully agree with everything I said there . I think there's a right city and province for different stages in life for each of us too.
I am a Quebecer and i am a Canadian anyway because we were called Canadians even before the british came over here. By the way the last survey only show 36% support for independance in Quebec. Also i should note that in Ontario and BC there is something called communautarism. The people from the same origin living in a specific neighbourhood or city living the same way of their the country of origin. And you are telling me that they are feeling more Canadian than me reallly ???? The national anthem of Canada have been composed by french canadians. Basile Routhier and Calixa Lavallée. Ironicaly the name of the province of Quebec have been named by the British. Before it was called nouvelle France or Canada. Then upper Canada and lower Canada for Ontario and Quebec respectively. For a long time the english speakers in Canada called themself english or british. The Frenchs were called Canadiens. Even our hockey team in Montreal is named Les Canadiens.
5 minutes of this non factual, no boots on the ground, analysis based on statistics, is enough for me. I've lived in three provinces and travelled in all the rest, as well as 2 territories. This is a great bit of YT nonsense created for financial survival in this expensive frozen a-_ed wasteland. Good luck ladies

This is a pretty good overview. Personally, I have lived in BC, Yukon, Alberta, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island. In fact, I lived in the Yukon for almost 50 years, and because of all the different places I've lived in the various provinces and the territory mentioned, I have a pretty good feel for much of the country. While the categories you cover seem sensible, I would say that it isn't as simple as that.

Quebec is probably the best province for you both in terms of safety as a lesbian couple. The country has turned incredibly hostile to 2slgbtia+ people in recent years throughout English Canada.
Well, let's be frank about it. Québec is not hostile to gay couples, precisely I would say francos and the ethnic groups who have joined them culturally are not hostile. But there are minorities who have disdain for homosexuality.
Do you think it is related to Muslim and Indian immigration?
@stmaurice2045 I'd say it's due to a weakened social cohesion in general
Is civil engineering construction? Or even part?
The next politicians Who do not understand what reality Is
don't look for politics where it doesn't belong.
thanks for the worthy info. Does salary to cost ratio, in which AB ranks 1st, consider net salary (after taxes)?
Yes, after taxes
Quebec gets everything handed to them by everyone else. A Quebecker can come work in NB. But I'm not allowed to go work in Quebec. Figure that out. Pure prejudice.
I love Alberta, however Alberta is just as bad but in different ways. I love that I can go get a job in Alberta, but they all too often like to act as if they are the end all/live all for Canada. They act as if they are the only province in Canada that has hard work ethic. They act as if they are the life jacket of Canada, and are the one and only resourceful province. And that's rather annoying. Tons of Albertas work force come from the East Coast.
Sometimes I think the Maritime provinces (including Newfoundland) should be their own country. We'd have fishing, farming, lumber, oil/gas, uranium, maple syrup and water. That's everything Alberta has and then some.
I haven't watched it yet but Im going to come back later and check why it's Alberta
can't wait for you to watch it
Why so many people moving to ALBERTA from all other Provinces 😮
What…? Are you considering Ontario as a safest place??
More like Canada is among the safest places in the world.
Measure infrastructure per capita
Pei culturally is solid in the summer tourist season…better than Calgary imho…your ratings are somewhat uninformed
Well even if PEI has more festivals than Alberta (which it doesn't), summer is just 3-4 months of the year. And it's all subjective as some people like some types of festivals over the others
Although it's flattering to see my own province ranked number 1. Bear in mind things tend to change overtime. Overall, quality of life has decreased througout Canada for the last 10 years. I can feel it in my own province, Québec. Life is much a struggle nowadays than before. But there's also another component which is not measured here, I'm talking about regional pride. For instance, Newfoudlanders were enthusiatic about the future of their province since the new deal with Hydro-Québec. Perhaps people over there foresee a better future for their province. A "feel-good" sensation is the only thing that matters.
O don't you "syp' mine sol' na ranu" about the years of commercial markets & raketiers. My midninties girlfriend's father was mardered for the benefit of his building company's business partner.(Before my time). The tragedy 's that their family 's moved from russia into my town nowadays been shelled from zaes' side. Myself 's stack by irish sea where you 're an emigrant for life.
Yes, I also want to live in Quebec, but, can you two speak very good French? Mais Je peux parler Francais haha!!
Well done Quebec!
We'll do even better when we will be an independent country and you will be welcome!
Not when the transfer payments end. They pay for a lot of hospitals, doctors, roads and schools.
A dreamer again. Oh btw someone who wants to destroy Quebec and the French language in North America is no patriot to me.
Sask has the best nature because its a well kept secret and not sprawling with people everywhere.
Alberta is the best province in Canada
Non, c'est Quebec mon ami
@@nicolastellomendoza2687 nah, Quebec is not Canada. It doesnt wanna be part of Canada. I hope quebec province drift away from canada towards Europe😂
No it,s Quebec my friend 😂
But in all honesty we have to admit that Quebec’s score is improved by equalization payments… thank you Alberta!
If you like the US you will like Alberta, no culture, just work and buy.
Infrastructure per capita is all that matters, not the total amount of infrastructure or else China would come out on top and Norway would be classified third world! Ditto GDP.
Great point
That any jobs no way don't move here .
Ontario is the best. Economically. Socially. Every way :)
Just like the Leafs!
If it was that good it would need so much government welfare transfer payments.
Excellent work.. lot of hard work...
But it will be the same 3-4 switching places... now that you are both Canadian and USA-Can controversy is going on 51st why not make a similar video on usa states for canadians wanting to move on the other side 😉
We are working on something related to that. Stay tuned!
Newfoundland has to many problems with addiction and stealing to pay for said addiction. Newfoundland has a corruption problem and racism with a lack of law enforcement in rural areas. The drunk driving is out of control and insurance fraud drives up car insurance. None of the mega projects ever work out it's why I am for the hydro electric deal with Quebec and Quebec Hydro, they are better at running projects and keeping costs down.
Well Ontario is full of crime now. Car theft, house break ins are very frequent all over Ontario
Regina in Saskatchewan is where we want to move to but this video is making us look at researching more about Alberta since Ontario isn't newcomers friendly
If you think Ontario isn't newcomer friendly, then you haven't been to Alberta.

SW Ontario is the best place to live in Canada. Period.
the population density definitely confirms that.

Quebec is best
You know...all the workers that are from Quebec aways say that when they come to western Canada for jobs!
I'm thrilled to see that Alberta and Québec, the provinces I was considering moving to, rank so highly in many areas!
Great to see that you’ve incorporated sources from the Fraser Institute as well 😎
Wishing Anastasia and Anna a Happy New Year 🎉

P.s. Quebéc is not a nation (even if someone wants to be it)
Alberta is the texas of Canada. Not very forward thinking people there.
And yet everyone wants to move there...I wonder why?

Quebec as being #1 is a joke and absolutely shocking the video was super educational until you rank Quebec in first place.
I was born here in Quebec but as an anglophone I have been treated more and more as an outsider in my own home province. Quebec is great if you're French speaking ( I am bilingual but as far as the QC government is concerned I still speak English which they hate) or rich ( the latter is contributing to the Quebec economy)..They want people like me out so I am obliging them and moving to the province you ranked as 2nd worst PEI. Because in my mind, after 51 years of Quebec BS it is the worst province to live in.
Your comment about you being an Anglo bilingual and Quebec's government not liking it, couldn't be more irrelevant. You can live your whole life not speaking a word of french in some parts of Quebec (Montreal area, eastern townships, etc... I suspect your rant has more to do with the fact that Quebec is trying to protect it's declining cultural language. If born in Quebec and at 51 AND bilingual you still didn't get it then (bon débarras) and be happy IN ENGLISH wherever you go.
@ actually it’s the verbal abuse I get whenever I speak English in public. A woman working at the Walmart I was shopping at left her counter to come yell at me because I was speaking English to my then 3 year old daughter. They want to protect their language that’s fine but they don’t have the right to attack ppl who speak a language other than theirs.
@@terrythornton39 I get that. I'm pretty sure it's and isolated case here and there. There are morons in every shapes and colors in all parts of the world whether it's about race, identity, religion, language etc... Some ppl get harassed just for having a Quebec license plate while travelling across Canada. Then again those are isolated cases and we can't generalize.
Quebec 😮 that's a bit surprising but i can understand why i actually moved to gatineau quebec from Toronto and I am liking it so far , i feel like im always learning new little perks of living in Quebec. Je travail en mon francais
Vive le Québec libre
I don't think these people realize just how poor Quebec is and how much GDP per capita impacts quality of life. The high taxes make it even less livable. Quebec is far poorer than even Mississippi. At least BC, Ontario, and especially Alberta, are comparable to US states. And I say this as someone who has lived in Quebec.
BC and Ontario and all the blue states in the US are good only if you are a millionaire. Quebec is the only progressive place that's still affordable on an average income.
Update: Quebec just received $13.6 billion in equalization payments from Saskatchewan, Alberta, and BC.
Great video, it’s always nice to learn about Canada. I disagree with Quebec being the best province though. I live in Nova Scotia, that by itself makes my province the best 😜😜
Thanks for uploading, I enjoyed it
We appreciate the feedback and are glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
Sure Quebec may be first in this ranking, but you have to learn French. This is a big deal breaker for many English speakers who do not want to learn a 2nd language.
It is tough learning another language, but it can be achieved. In Montréal, around 22% of its residents speak two or more tongues, making it the most multilingual city in North America. Bonne Année les amis !
English is the cousin of French. 40% of english vocabulary having roots from french language.
@@user-mrfrog 22% is wrong though... As of the latest census (2021), 56% of Montrealers were bilingual (aka people that spoke 2 or more languages). The number must be even higher now...
@dez7800 The approx. 22 % is the trilingual plus rate, not just two languages!
It's not so much the vocabulary, it's the French grammar that's among the hardest across languages.
I like all the scoring but Canada is very unliveable with cost of living.
🇺🇦🇨🇦
Complete joke, there is a reason why Quebec is the most hated province in Canada and consequently the worst province in Canada. Ontario should also be the second worst province in Canada. Without a doubt, Alberta should be first.
NUNAVUT is the Best
There is no place on earth better than the province of Alberta. Get the government out of our way, and we will save this country. It's time to unleash canada unmatched resources and the CANADIAN peoples unmatched work ethic
Free Northern Ontario !!!
Two leftwing, socialist Canadians pick the most leftwing, socialist province in the country.
SHOCKING!
you've made so many unfounded assumptions in this tiny comment, it's embarrassing.
@MakeThatChange Then I stand happily 'embarrassed'
They speak French, so they automatically lose.
Two comments. Quebec and Ontario have superior (used loosely) infrastructure and health care because it is paid for by Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan via transfer payments. But despite that, no one I know would rather live in Ontario than BC or even Alberta. When I was growing up (I'm 69), many of BC's residents were refugees from the prairie provinces, and they didn't head east when it came time to move. And if you don't speak French, forget about Quebec. FWIW, I've lived in Quebec, Alberta and, back now in BC.
Seems to me that you also did a ranking by city and Montreal was your top city. So I'm curious so as to why don't you move to Quebec?
Quebec can have all that, but the problem remains that the language remains a barrier to people there. And the culture of the people there and the politics will make it difficult for people to integrate. When you are in Ontario, you feel Canadian because everyone is from abroad and wants to become a Canadian. But in Quebec, they are independentists and the locals dont feel like being canadian at all. As they say it themselves they are Quebecers and unfortunately being a Quebecer is more linked to an ethnicity than to a nationality, since there is no Quebec country and no passport. I have never met someone of foreign background (even europeans like romanians) saying they are Quebecers but on the side the Quebec de souche people always introduce themselves as being quebecers and not canadians. In conclusion, all those factors will never make you feel at home (Complete integration to the society there might be quite tough to achieve compared to other provinces).
Great question and observations. One of us (Anastasia) lived in Montreal for 10 years before moving to Toronto/Ontario for a job offer. The appeal of Toronto was in salaries and general scale of work. You've got a point on never feeling like a "quebecois", they are more protectionist of their own culture - and rightfully so. It is a lot easier to blend in in Ontario. Having said that, we travel to Montreal often to see friends and family, but the biggest thing holding us back from moving is the climate - we like the mild climate of southern Ontario.
if you're curious - we made a video about comparing TO and MTL: ua-cam.com/video/9R2q8itEt3E/v-deo.htmlsi=Cr2t1I0dIsDqO6Zk . This is a video made a few years ago, so in retrospect, I no longer fully agree with everything I said there . I think there's a right city and province for different stages in life for each of us too.
I am a Quebecer and i am a Canadian anyway because we were called Canadians even before the british came over here. By the way the last survey only show 36% support for independance in Quebec. Also i should note that in Ontario and BC there is something called communautarism. The people from the same origin living in a specific neighbourhood or city living the same way of their the country of origin. And you are telling me that they are feeling more Canadian than me reallly ???? The national anthem of Canada have been composed by french canadians. Basile Routhier and Calixa Lavallée. Ironicaly the name of the province of Quebec have been named by the British. Before it was called nouvelle France or Canada. Then upper Canada and lower Canada for Ontario and Quebec respectively. For a long time the english speakers in Canada called themself english or british. The Frenchs were called Canadiens. Even our hockey team in Montreal is named Les Canadiens.
5 minutes of this non factual, no boots on the ground, analysis based on statistics, is enough for me. I've lived in three provinces and travelled in all the rest, as well as 2 territories. This is a great bit of YT nonsense created for financial survival in this expensive frozen a-_ed wasteland. Good luck ladies
I can't watch this.
Ok just turn off UA-cam :)
The best province is the 51st state 🤘🏻
which is..?
