    Who would be crazy enough to leave the epic landscapes of New Zealand for the extreme cold of Northern Canada? Paige Saunders, that's who. Today we talk about the realities of life up North. A place that most Canadians (myself included) have never dared to set foot. I actually filmed this video way back in October. At the time, I was thinking it was too early for a winter video so I decided to hold off for a couple months. Then I started travelling and forgot about it. Now, winter is almost over. Opps! I guess I'm bad at this UA-cam stuff. But hey, like, whatever, man. The point is: it's here. So grab a cup of hot chocolate, put on your thickest toque, and enjoy the video, bud. It's Northern Canada. Let's go!
    Oh and subscribe to Paige's channel. It's cool:

    After a friend of my watched this, he messaged me to say there was a raven in YK who became friends with a guy and used to fly around town following him whenever he left his house.

    Quebec City. Worth the trip. Check it out.
    Best way, if you can do it, is to DRIVE through Quebec from Montreal to Quebec City in the autumn when the foliage is turning color. Beautiful. Cheers.

    I don’t usually leave comments.. but this interview was a welcome watch after being out of the county for some time. I’m from Ottawa originally and later lived in Montreal for 6 years after turning 18. I’ve also travelled coast to coast along Canada’s south. That said I’ve been living in Australia for 6 months and this video had me homesick knowing how much of home I haven’t experienced.. keep doing what you’re doing man. I appreciate the hell out of your content (seen your other stuff too especially the Montreal street interviews etc). Happy to be a subscriber eh ✌️

    This was a great video on life in Yellowknife. Yellowknife is fascinating to me because it's so far removed from the rest of Canada, yet it's a fully functional city. I gotta admit, being from Vancouver, the extreme cold of the north is terrifying, but I think it's something I'd like to experience one day. Anyway, I'll be visiting Yellowknife this summer, and hopefully again in winter.

    I like the long interview format. I'm not a short-attention-span sort of person. Please do more. Try and find interesting people in your travels and help us to meet them.
    And guess what Dan? This time I saw my name floating past your head at the end.

    I would support you even if you were on OnlyFans. Though somehow I doubt that's going to happen.

    For the second time, again: thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you so much for this straight talk. Many many many times I planned to go Northernmost Canada only to see northern lights and I knew deep in my hart, been a Mexican that lived 12 years in Canada, that cities like Yellownife and Whitehors will be crap and nothing to see besides the famous Northern lights ... and to see a guy in this video who is living there saying that "they're like crapy fireworks" gee man thanks !!! I know now that Iceland or Scandinavia is the place to go !!!

      Fair enough. In my head, I sometimes think of "slang" as any sort of regional term that isn't widely known to other places. But maybe that's not technically true

    It would be nice if you learned more about Canada instead of repeating, "I'm a bad Canadian!" You didn't know Yellowknife was above the tree line? Please!... Also, please don't interrupt the people you interview and force them to digress from the topic they want to discuss. Paige was going to compare his first "rookie" year in Yellowknife to his subsequent years there, but you forced him off topic. I was really looking forward to the comparison, so that was a disappointment.
