Born here in Canada, love the fact Australia price/tax is baked into one price that you know what youre going to pay and no tipping
Absolutely hated the tipping "culture" in Canada. Completely put me off the place.
I have lived in both Canada and Australia, and I felt Canadians virtue signals, and be polite for the sake of being polite. Where as ausis, they be genuine, if they don't like ya, they don't like ya, they don't fake it.
ahh, interesting perspective!
I actually have to agree. Canadians are polite but they aren't friendly and like their space. Aussies are definitely easier to chat to and are friendlier but on surface level aren't as polite as Canadians. Aussies seem more genuine imo.
@@biggiedii4889 I'm dual American/Canadian, and yes Canadians have good manners, and Aussie's aren't as polite. I would say Americans are warmer than both of them though. Americans love small talk and will strike up conversations with perfect strangers, more than Aussie's will.
you are so right. i have exact same opinion about Canadian's fake niceness. I have been living in Canada for 7 years and considering seriously to move to Australia to avoid horrible winter.
Same can be said with British. You’re constantly reading between the lines. It’s almost like pysch game every now and then, which is more exhausting at times. Americans are more straightforward, which I preferred as there’s no pretensions.
Came to Australia with family 1990, did try my luck to apply for PR in Canada 2007 thinking that i can always visit my brother in the states since it is just border separating 2 countries, did try moving alone first if it is ok, went on February in Toronto, saw everyone shovelling snow on driveway and their car, from that point on, I turned back to Australia, I can go to the park 12 months a year, just my personal opinion, laidback, easy to move around, straight forward taxes, less stress, work and easy to get holidays from work, 20 days a year annual leave, you can go away in 4 weeks notice without drama.
The blogger has already said at the beginning that I have lived in Canada for a while and also lived in Australia for a while. Therefore, the conclusion is... This tells us that only the feet know if a shoe fits. So, to find out which one is more suitable for yourself, it is best to spend some time in both countries and then come to a conclusion.
Work life balance is better in Australia. More paid holidays. More laid back lifestyle. I prefer living in Australia.
Where are you living right now?
yea but they are all gay
Which also means Australia has a lazier culture. Feels like Aussies tend to take things for granted, and wait for their vacations to do anything meaningful. Canadians fit life into their daily lives, and are more likely to make the most of what opportunities they have around them, rain, snow or shine.
Have you ever lived in Canada?
Is it hard to find work in Australia?
I completely disagree about the outdoors and work life balance in Australia vs Canada. I understand in Canada there are a lot of outside activities going on, however my job in Canada aloud 10 days holiday per year which wasn't enough time to go and do these things. Australians are very outdoors type of people and in my opinion more so than the Canadians. I get 30 days vacation in Australia and my income seems to go much further. 4x4's are everywhere because people just head off up the coast or into the bush and people are always out cycling, running or walking all times of the year. Nothing like driving along miles and miles of beach with not a soul in sight. Australians work life balance in my experience is better than Canada (I have lived for years in both places - I've never been so relaxed and enjoying my life as much as I do in Australia).
100% agreed with the issue with tipping. As a Canadian, I just grow thick skin and tip zero for most places unless it is a sit down restaurant with good service and food. I also cap my tip to 15% usually.
Great video guys!
Still undecided about which country to choose 😅
hahaha it is a hard choice but we love canada!
I have to agree on the tipping system in Canada. It’s actually not that convenient for both the customers and the workers. In Quebec (not sure for the rest of Canada), there’s something called minimal wage with tipping that is actually lower than the actual minimal wage (12,20$ vs 15.25$). In this situation, people paid with minimal wage + tips heavily rely on the tip to make up for the 3,05$/h missing.
Minimum wage in OZ is $23.23 / hr. which is $20.62 CAD( Nov 23 ) for comparison
Loved the beautiful and peaceful setting of this video with the trees and the little stream flowing in the background. Ever since you guys sold Monte, are now settled in housing and your Winter jobs, you both seem so relaxed and content. It was interesting to hear all of your Pros and Cons to both life in Australia and also Canada. I don't think the video was too long, made it all the way to the end.
Thanks so much for watching all the way to the end!! We are so glad you enjoyed the video Ben!
I live in Australiia in Byron Bay and everyone goes camping here and the live in the Van
its really common at least for young people, they buy a VAN and live there and travel.
Next fall, you guys should go to the east coast of Canada. The colours there are incredible!!
The East Coast of Canada is on our bucket list for sure!
@@DavidandSarah - My wife and I are planning a move to Montreal. Should be interesting!
I enjoyed this video a lot. I'm trying to decide between the two countries so this video helps. Your likes seem more like the novelty effect. I would like an update when you've been here for a bit longer.
Worth noting is how different every city is from the other. I’ve lived in Vancouver, London (Ontario), Toronto, and Montreal. Lifestyles vary, diaspora varies, weather, landscape, culture.
I’ve been in Canada for 13 years. My recommendation for new migrants is to research each city to see which one fits their expectations and lifestyle better.
British Columbia is VERY different from, say, Quebec. Not only is the language different, but the culture and pace of life greatly differ from one another. The local government in each province works differently, healthcare benefits are different, even immigration programs are different from one province to another.
Videos like this are SUPER helpful! But hear people’s experiences from different parts of Canada. My husband is Australian and, to him, Vancouver is closer to Sydney (culturally) than any other. Montreal is more akin to Melbourne, for example.
Do your research and you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble when it comes to adjusting to life here in Canada!
Extra note: be prepared to yes, tip. It makes no sense. I agree! Especially in fast food. Like, why should I give you extra money when all you did was input my order in a screen 😅
Anyway, cheers!
We have never visited Australia and can't wait to visit. Great video! So informative. We want to experience both Countries. It's great that you are loving Canada. We agree with you regarding tipping!!
Yeah you can hear about a place but there’s nothing like experiencing it for yourself 😊 thanks for watching guys!
Save your money.
I like to think. Here in Canada we like balance work hard play hard meaning work and and than enjoy
A camping trip with the family. It’s always good with a nice cold beer and a fishing pole out on lake
No matter what you say Australiam cities are among the most livable cities,
I lived in both countries and I prefer Australia. I have lived in 6 countries and I have only ever regularly tipped in one - Canada. I live in Perth. I like the sun and swimming in the sea and I hate snow and ice. Western Australia is 10 X the size of Britain with only 2.7 million people. Perth has around 1.9 million of that and most of the rest is also in the South West. There are fantastic things to do in this state. In winter you can still do summer things in the North and flights to Bali are cheap. It is more remote from major population centres however. The coral reefs up north are awesome and swimming with the whale sharks has been a highlight of my time here. You can keep the cold and the danger of getting eaten by bears.
Ohh. I've visited Perth in 2023 and ıt was a great experience for me. I really want to move in Australia this year but I still don't know which city of Australia I should move by Working Holiday Visa. I've been in Melbourne Adelaide and Perth. I really like all of those 3 cities. What do you recommend? Is ıt easy to adapt to the life in Perth in terms of making a friend ,finding a job and house etc.? Thank you so much ..
I think I heard that you’ll be spending some time farther east in Canada. If so, your observation about different provinces being like separate countries will become even more apparent. Many of the things you love about Canada are less available in provinces east of Alberta. There certainly are other great things to experience in other provinces but the geography, lifestyle, wildlife, food and more vary greatly from province to province. You should probably stress that your experiences are based on life in Alberta and BC, not generalizations of Canada in a broad sense.
Love the videos. You’ve shown me (a longtime resident of Western Canada) places and experiences I didn’t know existed right under my nose.
Thanks for presenting your experiences in an entertaining and informative way.
Thanks so so much for watching the videos Joe! We really appreciate your support.
Totally agree - having lived in different parts of Australia and Canada - it’s kind of silly to talk about both these countries in a general sense! For some of their points - it makes sense - but for other points like ‘Canadians are more outdoorsy’ - lol - It really depends which city and state/province you are in.
Informative and interesting nonetheless!
i have a question is that possible to put subtitles? because i cant hear what you are saying because of the sound, there are river sound and music its tooo much i cant handle it and i stopped the video i had headaches and the sound of river its not the problem nature is beautiful and subtles, but the noise sound not so much...
Very insightful. I immigrated to Canada from China. Always wondered if AUS is better coz that’s what the majority says on Chinese social media. It’s refreshing to see some opinions outside my own fellows
Both countries are great!
我也看了很多国内比较两国 说澳大利亚好的主要理由都是气候 但这个是比较主观的偏好 ，比如国内东南沿海跟北方地区对冷热的标准可能不一样 像我就是首先担心一个地区夏天有多热 而不是冬天有多冷 四季分明的景色会多变一些
Canada is friendlier to immigrants.
In aus we’re I grew and live still to this day it’s pretty diverse it actually has always been almost most places in aus maybe just the big cities like Melbourne Sydney and Brisbane it’s very diverse but from what u were saying it sounds like u grew up in a very small area in aus and not much diversity there
Oh interesting! We lived in Brisbane and did not see much diversity at all. David has lived in Brisbane all his life and Sarah has lived there for 9 years. I guess we mean it's not that diverse compared to other western places we have been 😊 thanks so much for watching!
No wonder
Melbourne and Sydney are quite diverse in comparison
Another note. As you are fans of Vancouver. Please note smoking of any kind is illegal in parks and beaches. No Indoor smoking anywhere. And in the whole is frowned upon. As for pot. Well they were always around even before it was legal. BC has been the bus capital of the world for decades. Smoking is a very much area dependent. More rural more smoking. Urban it is way less.
Oh wow! sad that we've seen and smelt weed in parks. Thanks so much for watching!
Nobody really “lives” in Canada. They live in Saskatchewan, or Vancouver Island, or Montreal, or Toronto, or St. John’s. None of the above mentioned places are really like each other. Canada is a marriage of convenience. It was quite literally established by peoples who didn’t really like each other, but knew that none of them wanted to be annexed by the USA. Long story short: don’t move to “Canada”. Move to B.C., or Ontario, or the prairies, or the Maritimes.
Where is tipping mandatory. As a Canadian I don’t tip all the time. Never have. Except when restaurants charge is automatically when they have a large group. But then . There is no tip added again
Thanks for the advice!
Lived in both...the key is people...Aussies more laid back warmer and more helpful...
As an Australian who lived in Vancouver for 2 years I loved it, I sincerely miss Tim Hortons, Canadian Beer and Perogies. I also loved Montreal but outside of these two there is not a city in Canada I would place ahead of any Australian city for weather and work/ life balance.
Who loves shit Hortons and its shit coffee
Yea, Canada blows for work life balance. We’re like the US in that sense where people are super obsessed with work and grinding to an annoying degree
I love Toronto and the people . I felt at home . The people in Canada are welcoming and better than the people in my parents country.It doesn’t look like you travelled much in Australia . It is very diverse There are different types of landscapes with in our deserts . I looked at you channel and you don’t have any videos on Australia. Thanks for your video anyway .
I can’t stand the extreme cold. I’ve lived in the East Coast in US in New Jersey/New York. Winter is only 3 months & I can’t just bear with it. Can’t imagine having longer winters in Canada. I’d be so depressed. But Australia could be a bit boring with the all year round same weather. I know there’s cold season there but no major change in scenery. As for people, I love the Aussies. I just love their sunny, laid-back personalities.
One thing at which Canada excels, but which is lacking in Australia, is multiculturalism. As a first-generation Asian immigrant who has worked and lived in both countries for years, I feel that we are treated more fairly in Canada. I am currently employed in the federal public service (in an indeterminate position) in Canada, a position I was unlikely to obtain in the Australian government.
Why do you think you'd be unlikely to abstain an intermediate position in the Australian federal government? There seems to be a lot of non-while immigrants working for the federal government here, although not as many as at the state government level.
I agree that Australia is behind Canada in terms of genuine cultural inclusion and assimilation.
Just watched the video in a fast-paced mode. I guess you prefer Canada to Australia most likely because of the big isolation of Australia from much of the world, and the fact that Canada, although very natural and not super urban, it feels more urban than Australia.
you can't compare drip and percolated coffee. and australia's isolation from others is a blessing not a curse. what's the benefit of being in the close proximity of a billion people, other than economic...
Well, does it actually give an economic benefit to be close to billion of people? Not necessarily
Canada is only close to the US and it's far from every other country in the world. Australia has all of Asia on top of it hence why Australia gets the millionaire migration. Australia also falls under Asia's time zone, which makes it a better choice for international students since nearly all of them come from Asia. Australia is much closer to them than Canada.
If you're from Europe choose Canada and if you're from Asia choose Australia.
That whole tipping thing does my head in. I’m so grateful to live in a country that has good wages. Employees don’t need to stress about, if they are getting the busy shifts or not. Customers don’t need to stress about who, when, how often, how much and guilt that might come with it. Just easier all round not having such a system.
we agree, tipping can be such a pain!
@Sharanjit Kaur unemployment figures are at record lows. Wages are high and are increasing after being stagnant for the last decade. Cost of living and interest are getting high due to inflation. This is happening in many countries. Yes, Australia is experiencing a housing and rental crisis as a result. With all things considered and for many people, you don’t need to look very far to realise how lucky you are to live here.
@Sharanjit Kaur It is high cost of living but you can afford just don’t be picky, there are so many jobs… in Asia salary is so cheap and life there is uncomfortable for many.
No jobs in Melbourne l have been applying for thousands of jobs
Losing money here
@@JayShiva-fh7sxI lived in Melbourne for 4 best years of my life. But my friends tell me now that gone are those good days, when you used to be here..
As a plus canada has the french aspects like in quebec.
We'd love to visit Quebec!
To me, the biggest surprise was the snail mail comment. I've bought and sold property and cars with generally only one 'event' where you have to be there in person...legal stuff, for example. I've never seen a mandatory tipping situation ... and I definitely vary my percentage depending upon the service. Interesting comparison!! All that said, people make the difference in your life...family, friends, community.
well said! With the right people around you a lot of these things become insignificant. Thanks for watching Don
I don't understand the snail mail issue. I've lived in Canada since 2013 and never had to really deal with anything via mail...
Totally agree with soooo much of this!! Pros and cons. I think if we were younger and our families were here too, we would definitely go for PR and stay in Canada. The lifestyle is just so different to back home. I think we will definitely get back here a lot over the years though. it will be interesting to see what it is like when we all go home (eventually haha)
Yeah, it's hard to call anywhere home without family close by. We'll definitely be back as well.
About cars, if living in Canada,how is easy or hard is going to the USA and buying a new or uses careen from Marketplace ;and bringing it back to the Canada ?
Tipping is not mandatory, I always skip to payment. Just gotta have thick skin for dirty looks 😂
Thanks for the video ..
I lived in Melbourne for 3 years! Both in the city, inner suburbs and outer suburbs..
One year was awesome to explore!!
It’s very BORING later on..
same all the year around.. same culture everywhere, not much happening expect a few times in year.. I got bored like crazy😅😅
where are you now?
@@muhammadbaba-lw8rm India
Moved back
I have heard there are lots of dangerous and venomous creatures in aus. Aren't you scared of that you can't just still in forest and gardens and also you have high uv rays so even if we apply sunscreen still isn't it scary to just go out and rest in beeches. Can you please explain these facts
Agreed with all your points about Canada, but I would absolutely LOVE to see the wildlife (kangaroos!) and beaches and sunsets and cities in Australia. Maybe one day 🙂
Haha Australia is lovely too.You should totally visit one day!
Your video is not too long as all because the content is very interesting and I wanted to know which country you were gonna pick. I would pick Canada too . Thanks for the video. I subscribed
Great video thank you for sharing !!!!!!
Thanks so much for watching 😊
I haven't been to Canada but I have talked to Canadian people and they told me that work and lifestyle is alot better here. We do have 4 seasons but far north Queensland has only 2 season. Melbourne has 4 seasons in a day and everywhere else along the coast is normal and can feel and see a difference. also don't drink shit coffee, we drink proper good coffee.
Yeah, Bears in Canada are cute, until it started chasing you in the wild.🐻🐻🐻🤣🤣
Then why are Aussies moving to Canada?
They're not. 25,000 Aussies in Canada vs 50,000 Canadians in Australia.
More the other way mate.
@@joanneburford6364 It seems we got migration from both ends
Australia has a smaller population than Canada same with America
You can't say more people come to Australia it's because Canada and USA have larger population not because more people like australia@@biggiedii4889
@@dandankokorohikareteku2620 Per capita more Canadians move to Australia than Australians move to Canada.
Your personal community is what makes a place your home, I loved my year in Australia, and 40 years ago my city comparison was Vancouver = Perth, Sydney = Montreal, and Toronto = Melbourne, Adelaide = Halifax and Brisbane didn't make enough of an impression on me.... all in all, I've long said that if I had to pick another country to live in other that Canada, it would be Australia. Tip - acronym for To Insure Promptness. I could be wrong, but I believe that tipping in Canada has been influenced heavily by our proximity to the US where in some states there is often a substantial difference between the general minimum wage and what is called the "tipped minimum wage" which lets employers pay staff less because theoretically tips will bring pay up to the minimum. I believe that the general minimum wage in some states is as low as $7.25/hour and the tipped rate is less.
Interesting that you would choose Australia to live in if you had to choose a country. thanks for the info on tipping! We definitely learnt something from it. Thanks for watching and for your support Bob!
I am Australian and I go overseas a lot and I must admit I find the absolute dumbness in MOST countries of red tape and beuracracy is STUPID!
I dont think u would go wrong choosing any of them
BC is definitely its own vibe (the camping and hiking).
Canada is only close to the US and it's far from every other country in the world. Australia has all of Asia on top of it hence why Australia gets the millionaire migration. Australia also falls under Asia's time zone, which makes it a better choice for international students since nearly all of them come from Asia. Australia is much closer to them than Canada.
If you're from Europe choose Canada and if you're from Asia (where most immigrants and students come from) choose Australia.
Australia any day for me. Just the weather n salaries are enough for me 😂
That's awesome! We love hearing everyone's perspective!
From my experience Australia is just a better version of Canada. Nicer people, nicer climate, and WAY LESS GRIMY. For me its a no brainer choosing sunny beaches, t-shirts, and shorts year-round vs. stressing my life away over snow, ice, or cold for half of the year. However, in BC you have by far the best climate in Canada so it's not too bad for you guys. The only real upside to Canada is the economic opportunities, which aren't worth the stress of an icy, suburban hell scape imo. Great video nonetheless 👍
Thank you so much for watching!
Dylan i have a question please. I’m hesitating between moving from Belgium to Canada (Montreal or Quebec), or moving to Australia, Sydney.
I rather go to Sydney, work and then have a house in the suburbs. But could you tell me about animals there ? Spiders, etc. Do we find big spiders in Sydney suburbs ?
@@traductionscultureen-arver2307 In Australian cities you rarely see dangerous animals (the spiders are typically harmless), but in the country/bush you need to be careful. Personally I would move to Belgium of the 3, as the climate is the most moderate and it's not a suburban, car-dependent prison like CAN or AUS. Also, I heard the architecture and public transport are incredible too. You're also close to the rest of Europe so vacations are easy. Montreal is significantly cheaper than most cities in AUS/CAN, but it gets a lot of snow; So if you can afford it I would choose Brisbane/Melbourne over any other city between the two countries.
@@dylanjackson29 i see. Thanks. As for Belgium, i live here and was born there (im 29). Yes, great and cheap public transports all over the country, cheap health care, cheap education and university.
But the weather is grey and raining almost all year, very short summers, taxation up to 50 % (that’s how we pay education, health care, etc.), and low salaries . So it’s the end of the road for me.
So you say Melbourne would be better than Sydney ?
@@traductionscultureen-arver2307 if the warm weather is a big factor in your decision making I would choose Brisbane or Perth over Melbourne. Melbourne is known for having 4 seasons in one day. Cost of living in these cities are much more affordable than Sydney. If you can find affordable housing in the other suburbs, then Sydney might be okay. Every city in Australia has its own things going for it. Do your homework on each option so your less likely to make an expensive mistake moving. Employment will be the key.
Having lived in Adelaide for 10 years and now I’m in South Carolina, I would have to agree with all of your points. I know the US is different from Canada, but more similar than Australia. I ice in South Carolina for me is much more enjoyable, I found Adelaide to be boring.
Haha doesn't surprise us! We'd love to visit South Carolina one day. Thanks for watching the video Stephen!
Well you lived in what we refer to in Melbourne as Dead-laide 😂😂😂
Loved rundle mall though😅
Shampoos ? Conditioners? Depends what brands you get....
Most general manufactured consumer goods are cheaper in Canada
Cost of living Australia vas Canada ? does the cost of living in Canada vary from province to province ? Also Healthcare ?
Living in Toronto for 5 years after spending 40 years born and raised in Melbourne and much prefer Canada to Australia. Apart from the weather, Australia is soooooo isolated from the rest of the world. I have much more jobs opportunities, no tall poppy syndrome, less arrogance and a few hours flight to the Carribean or Europe. Australia doesn't even come close to a lot of those things and never will. Apart from family there is not one thing I miss about Australia. Australia is great for people who dont really care about their career and just want a laid back lifestyle. That might work for some people but definitely not for me or my fam.
what option is available for us to move from canada to australia as family? I have 2 kids, my family lives there, we want to move there
David and sarah canada fits you more guys i hope you guys get your permanent residence it is a beautiful country all the best to you ❤👍
We also feel Canada suits us better! It's such an amazing country. Thanks for watching the video Alex 🙂
Go to the Philippines haha.. Marijuana is prohibited, smoking prohibited in some places. You may get more work leaves here if you give birth you can get 3 months leave. You can do whatever you like. Like camping hiking whatever but just be ready of the very hot weather and rainy season. If you want to save you can just plant vegetables . Tipping is not mandatory, you can refuse. A lot of processes can also be done online. Prob is foreigners cannot own real estate except condominiums. 😅Just beware of the Maritesses 😂
Having lived in Europe, I think Canada is better than Australia for a few reasons. First, it's closer to Europe, so traveling back and forth is easier. Second, Canada feels more European in terms of the people and the culture. Lastly, the climate in Canada is more similar to Europe. Australia is a beautiful country too(I’ve been there) but I prefer Canada.
Australia for high standards of living and high salary
I think more Canadians would want to live in Australia,than viceversa.Australians are used to warm weather and Australians love the outdoors.Florida in the USA ,would be a better choice for Australians to live in than Canada. Canada has a lot to offer outdoors and is beautiful in the summer, but unless you snow ski; the Canadian winters are HARSH !! Some people might not like the extreme change of weather in Canada ,especially the HARSH winters .
Your beautfiul people....love the video....really nice energy about ya!
Nothing wrong with smoking weed. Legalizing it is a sign of moving forwards. I never drink or smoke, but I understand that people should be allowed to partake in recreational activities and soft drugs if they want to do. Portugal's full legalization has succeeded while the old "tough" approach in many countries has simply made things worse.
it has the most disgusting smell and unfortunately that can ruin a country but hey, that's our opinion.
Not much work in Australia now.
The rent has gone up you can not survive here..

Well glad that you like Canada!! It’s b’ful country indeed especially 4 seasons. Your tipping point before food is served kinda took me off as I’ve never encountered such a thing being living here for 17 yrs. Sorry that happened to you😮 & for next time simply order your food & when they ask you to pay before serving the actual meal simply tell them sorry I change my mind now gonna go some place better… lol 😅 since food must be in process they won’t let you go…. Loosing customers bad for business 😅
I feel sorry for people who are forced to live in a poorly-developed and overpopulated country. They can face multiple everyday problems which can make life miserable. I’m not trying to make nasty comments about these countries because people born in them have no control over it and thus may be offended. But I still wish they could have a better life and they deserve it. So I wish better-developed countries would accept them if they speak their language. The best options would be Canada and Australia and I’d be delighted if their governments accepted such migrants with open arms. This is because they’re highly developed, speak English and most of their land areas are uninhabited, thus having a lot of room for more people and may be able to introduce new cities in the future.
Is she african american?
the reason canadians camp in cars is the bear situation.
I LOVE Australia
Australia is a lovely country for sure 😍
I have never been in either of the country, I loving Canada until recently I realized they are more American than I imagined.....so I choose Australia
Proud to be an American.
People hate us, but that doesn’t change the fact that we are a superpower. 💪
Is it true that vancouver has more homeless and its getting worse? Tipping is not for me.. Was in the line to pay in calgary once and had the exact money for the price just to get strangest stare from the lady behind the counter.. And I had no clue I need to add gst.. Why make it difficult?
yes, especially downtown eastside, homelessness is getting crazy. But usually it's just concentrated in that area
I am living now in Australia. I loved the weather and climate. Sunshine is better for the heath. Another factor is the people. There are lots of times I was helped without asking for it. AND RACISM IS NOT ENCOURAGED HERE!!!
Lastly, the minimum wage in Australia is the highest in the world. I think these are enough for me to say that I am blessed to be in Australia. I haven't been to Canada but I have an aunt there. I can try going there on a tourist visa and I believe Canada is lovely too. It depends on our preference 💗
*hits joint* but that's like, your opinion, man
The thing with the animals an diverse landscape is not true at all Australia has waterfalls forests beaches snowy mountains 🏔 desert 🏜 coral reefs and more and Tasmania is really similar to Canada whe. It comes to the seasons the creatures of both countries are just different but I’d say in Australia there are more unique creatures both have wolves and bears
Tipping IS NOT mandatory
The problem is you ;-)
(larger groups in restaurant the tipping is compulsory)
Waiters have lower salaries
And count on their tips
Hairdresser, taxi, movers , delivery
Is a natural
But then their is no percentage attached to it
The more recent tipping in store
Is one weird one
I rarely tip
And I am absolutely fine with it
Canadians are relaxed people and not bothered much which you can see when they build any highways.
Better compare Sydney
To let's say
Montreal or Toronto
Tipping is not mandatory but Canadians use to tip just like the us 🇺🇸 ,personally if I see that person being unhappy with a 5 $ tips and asks for more ..even if I had the intention to give a tip I don’t give anything at all
Polar bear and mountain lions too.
would looove to see a polar bear here but I guess we will have to go further North. thanks for watching!
Saw a Wolverine a couple summers back.
Nice video guys. Did you notice as many homeless people camping in the downtown / Chinatown areas and city parks of Australia as in Vancouver? Perth's drug problems seemed to be worse than in Eastern Australia, perhaps as it is closer to Asia. Maybe Vancouver's incredibly high drug death rate is also related to it being closest to Asia? Ideally, one could live and work in both Canada And Australia, have dual citizenship and the best of both worlds. All Commonwealth citizens should be able to move around the former colonies whenever they please. :-) Stay safe. Ciao.
Vancouver definitely has a higher homeless population than Brisbane! Agreed, we would love to be able to live and work in both Canada and Australia as we please. Thanks so much for watching!
@@DavidandSarah Yes, but you haven't lived in Australia in a year. There is a housing and rental crisis there, creating more homelessness. Australia will eventually catch up to Canada and USA in homelessness.
@@gracedagostino5231 i dont think being that negative is good. Usa has 100000 more homeless people than canada

So of course, the USA is going to have more homeless in total numbers, but both Canada and Australia have higher per capita homelessness than America. The homeless population is growing rapidly in both Canada and Australia.
@@gracedagostino5231 US homeless population is around 582,000 while Canada is around 25,000 to 35,000. Your per capita more comment is way off. 😅
Two Hells on Earth . :)
Melbourne was Domingo for 7 tears
Toronto vs Sydney is a different ball game tho. 😁
You guys look cold in Canada .The weather is way better in Australia
My brother is engaged to a Canadian women & they will be living & be raising their children in Aus.
They advised that that Christmas is way better in Canada though.
Canada, Australia, who care. they are two of the best countries to live IN on earth. either one its like living with cousins./ But Aust has the SUNSHINE.
The Rockies are a drive if you are on the East Coast which is pretty flat. The lakes are amazing however.
Tips are a scam by the employers. Apparently if you are black in the USA you demonstrably get less tips. Why? Let me guess, it must be because you suck at service!
I read an article that said to just pay in cash for a meal then you choose the tip amount if any, not built into the debit machine. I waitressed as a teen and agree tipping should be for good service. You are correct they are paid a wage And not just living on their tips.
how hard is it to get a PR in australia if you have family over there? I have my uncles , grandmother and so many cousins in sydney and i’d like to move there, just anxious about not getting a PR after doing the working holiday visa for the compulsory years
Thank you so much for the question. We've heard it's a bit harder to get PR in Australia than other countries but we could be wrong. Both of us haven't been through the process because David is an Australian citizen and I am a New Zealand citizen.
@@DavidandSarah thanks so much for your reply, i know what you mean. But do you think or do you know if having a big family over there matters somehow ( uncles, cousins , grandmother and so on..) like could it be easier if they know you have alot of family over there or does it not matter
@@DavidandSarah
Are you move back to australia or live and settling down to canada for whole life ??
Please...reply...🙏🙏
I visited Australia in 2018 & loved it! I've never even been to Canada but I would choose Australia
I im for weed so thats a dislike
I pick Canada. Know why ? Cause when your government comes for you, at least in Canada, there’s millions of square km’s to run to … Australia, not so much…
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Snow vs beautiful beaches and awesome lifestyle. You choose
Canada lifestyle and snow I prefer over Australia.
I live in Toronto. I love Canada. I love snow. I used to live in Australia. The weather there is too bored. One season round the year. I don't like it.
I live in Toronto and looking to move to Australia.
Couldn't agree more!
Wait until you're shoveling your driveway & scraping ice off your car at 7 in the morning in the freezing cold lol
Nothing boring more than long winter 🥶
Melbourne is nice you get different weather.
They celebrate Thansgiving in Canada ? Thanksgiving is such an American holiday . They have a day in Canada called Canada Day ,but that is more like an "independence " day .
Born in Ontario but mom was Australian. i like have a dual citizenship
that's so awesome. we'd love to have had dual citizenship!

As much as they own Canada then

@@sutring4508 chief Trudeau of the cockasian tribe they also call him dark face. or whitey don
No, it is not true.
They are different but not that different. In the end, both countries are the fittest offsprings of the now defunct British Empire but behavioral relics of Britishness are more obvious in Canada due to its closeness to Europe. On a side note, the tipping culture has thrived in Canada only because of its proximity and exposure to the USA. Unlike Canada, Australia has "mutated" noticeably and evolved differently due to its remoteness but they are both, New Zealand included too actually, still sadly reminiscent of the British Empire in its heyday. Australia and NZ would be in that sense the slightly "autistic" relative, which is by no means a bad thing, although it takes one time to adjust to the more unpredictable, erratic and at times vaguely xenophobic behavior many Australians can show. Non-English heritage visitors and migrants will find all these three places and people far less trying and less unrelatable though when compared to the USA, which really takes the cake, so to speak...
