    I don't know if UA-cam has Oscars or Emmys or the equivalent, but you certainly deserve one for this series! Watched and enjoyed every minute and hated to see it end, but I'm so glad I came along! Thanks so much.

      Please go to Springhill,Nova Scotia where the Anne Murray Centre is located. Been to NS 3 times. Have you ever even heard of Anne Murray?
      I really enjoyed the episode with your mom. I am in Texas.

    Probably the best and most satisfying UA-cam video I‘ve ever seen! Leaves me speechless while riding the high speed train ICE cross Germany. I met my wife during a train ride because of a delay and asked her to marry me on an ICE either. Thank you so much for taking us on this absolutly awesome trip! Be safe and ride on! Excited to see where you are going next!

    This series was so professionally made and also so informative and fun. I felt a bit let down that you had to fly to Vancouver and basically skip British Columbia's interior, but then you surprised us and went back and did it and did it in style. What a great trip this was.

    After honeymooning in Vancouver, watching a cousin get married in PEI, popping up to Toronto in the spring, and splurging on a VIA Canadian trip a few years back...I've gotta say I've *really* missed not being able to travel to Canada these past few years. Your videos - and especially this series - are cathartic in soothing my wanderlust.

Thanks for showing parts of Canada I didn't know existed. You and Will did a fantastic job of capturing the Canadian spirit. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you get up to.

    Guys, this series was one of the best films I've ever seen. Im a lot older than you (think Eisenhower) and I've been watching documentaries since I was around 3 yrs old (TV was new). I am retired IT and am some what finicky about videos I watch. I subscribe to over 600 channels and have one of my own. Yours kept my draw. I worked all over Canada in my job. Maritimes to Horse Shoe bay and Surrey. Your vloging talent and dictation are amazing. The editing is extremely well done. I am also a musician and I know what kind of work it takes to edit media. I don't have the means to support you financially, but I will continue to watch your vids simply because they are so professional and coming from some very young talent. Keep it coming Dudes! ( by the way, the Tux was a nice touch!)

    Beautiful series. Everything was filmed well, the editing was on point.
    You gave every one of your interviewees and guests on the videos the time and respect to share their stories.
    From the knowledge and stories from the native people, to the men and women in the Canadian Coast guard, you delivered excellent content.
    I learned a lot from these videos, I hope to make up to Canada some day soon.
    Thanks for sharing your travels and stories, It's very moving. I genuinely look forward to what's to come from you and your channel.
    Sending well wishes from Texas.

    I’ve been watching and enjoying since the series began. You’ve proved what I’ve been saying all my life to people who ask, “Why don’t you want to go vacation outside Canada?” To which I reply, “Canada has plenty enough in it to do and see, I don’t need to go anywhere else.” I’m an army brat, been coast to coast and there’s still stuff I haven’t seen here, as this series has shown. Canada’s a great country, get out and experience it.
