3 Things Will Make Canada Great Again 

We could use a new Prime Minister. How about you????? Your ideas are simply brilliant!

This was well reasoned, what a nice change from a lot of videos that just complain. You identified a problem, examined causes, and proposed solutions. I wish we were all as dedicated to actually improving things as yourself. I really appreciated this thoughtful piece:)

As a Torontonian living near Ottawa, the high speed rail would be amazing. I think 50% of Canada lives on the Windsor-QC City corridor. I would use it, rn I mainly drive bc it's cheaper and faster then the VIA

Canada needs people like you who are conscious and seek their rights! i came here from turkey about 2 years ago. I don't have a car and I live close to Pearson airport. Sometimes I have to change 5-6 transits when I go somewhere in the city. i experience the problems you mentioned every day. Besides, when i looked at other cities, i saw that even the situation in Toronto is the best of the worst. There is not even a proper public transit in other cities. I used to walk every day in Istanbul.When I came here in February, I didn't even see a single person walking for about 1 and a half months. this desolation and loneliness forced me a lot and still forces me. walking to the nearest supermarket is at least 30 minutes. spending time there and returning back, it takes 1 and a half hours to go to the supermarket. In Europe, the necessities are not so far away. The city and its residents are not disconnected from each other. To be honest, I would expect Canada, one of the best countries in the world, to have already found a solution to these established problems.

As moroccan girl i felt soo happy when talked about the train's speed in morocco ❤ thank you

When I used to commute in Ottawa I used to drive to a big parking lot and take the bus downtown. I always thought that the parking lot should have had a coffee shop, daycare center, convenience store, etc. But 20 years later it’s still the same large empty parking lot

Thanks for putting the key problems in a simple manner. Good job. I am currently living in Finland south. Finn govt did work hard to address the first three areas (#3 is taken care by prompting bike lanes). #4 is half cook, good habit on walking and exercising, even for senior people, but they eat lot of sugary stuffs to combat the depression of winter weather. And we paid heavy tax...

Imagine the bailout the airlines would demand if there was a high-speed rail line from Windsor to Quebec.

summary of what Canada lacks: -Labor Shortages: - Shortage of skilled workers in healthcare, technology, and trades. - Aging population affecting workforce availability. -Affordable Housing: - High housing costs in major cities. - Insufficient new housing developments. -Healthcare System Strain: - Long wait times for medical services. - Shortage of healthcare professionals, especially in rural areas. -Climate and Environmental Challenges: - Increasing extreme weather events due to climate change. - Dependence on fossil fuels affecting climate goals. -Technological Innovation and R&D: - Low investment in research and development. - Brain drain of talented professionals to other countries. -Infrastructure Gaps: - Inadequate public transportation in some cities. - Poor rural connectivity with limited access to high-speed internet. -Economic Diversification: - Heavy reliance on natural resources, making the economy vulnerable. - Need for further growth in the tech sector. -Indigenous Rights and Reconciliation: - Socioeconomic disparities affecting Indigenous communities. - Lack of basic infrastructure like clean water in some Indigenous areas. -Energy Transition Challenges: - Difficulty shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy. -Diversity and Inclusion in Workforce: - Barriers for skilled immigrants in having their qualifications recognized.

What a great video, packed full of information.

Just joined Patreon. 💯 Thank you for the video.

Great video! You summarized perfectly what are the key issues that would drastically make Canadians quality of life go up. So much money gets wasted on just useless policies and doesn't address root causes. Many of those reasons are also why I am moving back to Eastern Europe later this year which certainly has its problems as well, but I think the health benefits will be substantial in my particular case.

I strongly agree with each one of your points. I currently live in downtown Toronto, so right now, I don't need a car, and I walk almost everywhere (I love walking, if it's less than a 1-hour walk, I'm walking for sure). But I know I live in a bubble. I don't know if I will stay downtown for life; if I ever move to a suburb, I know I would hate depending on a car.

People are forced to use their cars. Not only is rail travel inadequate, intercity bus service has deteriorated over the last 40 years, especially here in the west.

Strongly agree with your point 1. We need more rail networks. People definitely encourage public transport, metros are an example.

I used to take the TTC and YRT over one and a half year. Buses and trains were accurate almost all the time. I never had issues with public transit. Except that it took me so much time to get to work.

You being in Canada makes it much closer to perfect, thanks for coming to Canada!

Firms bidding on the high speed rail project have also included plans that would provide the federal government the option to build the more expensive, but faster, high-speed rail. Those trains can travel at speeds as high as 300 km/hour.

I’m a huge fan of train travel and take it whenever I can, but I’m in Ottawa so am able to benefit from the Quebec City-Windsor corridor. But I am not the norm. Until Canadians change their mindset and infrastructure investments are made, I don’t see anything changing. But I do believe that population density does matter. We see that in Europe and Japan.

Amazing vid. I subscribed / first time listening to your vids. Love it! Keep at it :)

I've made similar arguments for years now. Nice to know there are like minded people in Canada. I would add a complete overhaul of the healthcare system is needed asap with the implementation of a parallel private system to complement the public system like in most other Western countries. Great video :-)

In Calgary, we have just cancelled a relatively new train project after spending 850 million dollars on it.

Car dependency is really annoying. It's one of the biggest reasons I live in Vancouver. It's pretty walkable and has an ok-ish public transport system. A lot of it is also cultural and many people like their cars and suburbs. It's a different lifestyle

I love your videos! Keep it up!

I elect you to run Canada :)

Great review. Well said!

I think it would be nice to have a government that prioritizes small businesses and entrepreneurship, we have a monopoly when it comes to business and commerce, more competition means companies have to try harder to please their customers and are forced to put their best foot forward.

Wonderful video. Very informative and full of solutions. Please talk about school education in Canada. Why education is not promoted and so on. That's one of my pet peeves.

We suffer through this same things in the US. We had hopes of a bullet train being built between Houston-Dallas but the landowners keep taking it through the courts and postponing it. I agree with all your points but Americans and Canadians don’t like to pay taxes so they will vote no, they prefer to pay for those cars because that is an invisible saving to them not having a car.

Living life with the purpose of the well being of cars was an american invention that Canada copies. That's why it amazes me your admiration for gringo culture. Americans live their lives around their cars, that needs to change.

Funny how you compared arguably the worst European country for trains to Canada and it's still night and day. But yes Canada and the US desperately need trains. Unfortunetaly I don't think we will see any real improvements in my lifetime.

I love your channel. Let's create a petition for Canada to develop high-speed trains. 😢😢

the high speed rail may　difficult because of a lot of snow and long winter

Fantastic video!! I am European and funnily enough these are all the things i miss about Europe. I love how you said people can make or break a country. It is true....we all have free will. If only our governments used it wisely! Investments are never a cost! Also Dan Buettner, the advocate for Blue Zones has an awesome cookbook for meals from all the zones...it is awesome and fully recommended!

What are advantages of Whitby over Hamilton? It seems that house prices are comparable, but Hamilton has a frequent go-train.

nice video, thank you

You should run for federal or provincial political office. Great ideas!

u r da best !

In resume Canadians must overcome the addiction, the car addiction could have some relationship with homeless. Societies with car and highway addiction generates cities without human connection. There are.some studies about that north american behaviour.

Hi im from morocco 🇲🇦

Who pays the fast train? What loss or profit it will make?

Car dependence infrastructure was made in a way to sell cars, from General Motors at first

There are 11 temperature changes every day between Toronto and Ottawa .All the best .

I work for Via Rail. They had a plan in 2016/17 to have a high speed rail by 2025. that plan got cancelled for some reason. money probably

If you present yourself in politics, you will have my vote! Interesting documentary.

100% agreed

She should be in the parliament , we need some one from like her to suggest something good to become something similar to what European countries are.

interesting !

Thank u very much only challenge this is North America and by the way Canada is doing extremely better when it comes to public transportation when compared to USA…remember the challenge is capitalism over dependence on capitalism leads to the mess you just mentioned…but I prefer North America it is the best continent on the planet

Can you be the next Prime Minister or Premier please....or go to their offices and talk to them...❤

Homelessness is a very compex issue and unless poverty is addressed, none of the issues you addressed will get better. Drugs are not handed out left and right, only a small of people actually have access to safe supply. Safe supply does save lives and it does connect those individuals to other community resources (treatment, etc.).Some of these folks get money to help with basic needs. Reintegration is a great idea but if employers know the history of said individual, they will likely not hire them. There is a huge stigma around mental health and substance use disorders and that affects employment too.

So we move to Europe instead?

I agree a 100% with this. Canada needs urgently to invest in high speed trains.

How to solve #2 Make every teen watch Requiem for a dream

Good video but I hate the music in the background. It’s unnecessary and annoying.

Canada is more similar to Australia/US than Europe. Large geography and low population density. Intensive public transit is only good for inner cities. Economies of scale don't work for mass transit between cities in Canada like in Europe/Japan/China. Flying is faster and cheaper for long distance in North America.

New primer ministre

take the train between Toronto and Ottawa?!:- get serious, it's quicker and cheaper to fly Porter from Toronto Island Airport.

I lived in Toronto was very walkable bike if you can live downtown area or waterfront every is close by I have wondered what it be like if all the cars trucks buses where Electric vehicles how quiet it be Ontario is spending huge amounts of cash on new public transport projects new subway lines stations your are right on the lost opportunity on the park & ride they could have put the parking underground have grass & trees with cafes few shops possibly a mini mall well you wait for the train VIA is going go private as it’s the only way it can be made better

Oil lobby doesn’t want high speed trains, government always agrees with lobbies

I would love to be able to afford to live in a more walkable neighborhood.

in russia we have trains that travel at a speed of 60 km per hour )

You should try to live in cairo Egypt to feel how canada give the people luxury 🤣

I know the only and best feature that could make Canada Perfect even by missing those 3 really good points: Migrants properly adapting to the country that opened up it's doors to get a new chance of a better life.

Well madam it didn’t take you long to figure out what’s wrong with Canada. The problem is it took us decades to get ourselves into this situation and the way our government works it will take decades to reverse this obvious social nightmare. Example; you’re living in Whitby. You have four levels of government,four levels of red tape and bureaucracy. City,Regional Municipality of Durham, Provincial and Federal. All pulling in different directions and draining your pocket book. All Canadian towns and cities started out as walkable communities. That’s why inner cities in Canada are more desirable. But are now hugely more expensive. With the advent of the automobile becoming more accessible in the 1940’s and beyond social planners “ in their wisdom” 😂 decided suburbs were a great idea throwing the concept of walkability out the window. Massive immigration after WW2 also exacerbated this push into suburban expansion. To reverse this trend is now almost entirely impossible on so many levels. European ( and Russian) cities had the advantage of time and history to slowly develop without mass immigration as opposed to Canada and America who experienced mass immigration within a few decades. Hence sprawling car oriented soulless suburbs. I live in Peterborough and plans for the Toronto to Quebec City corridor through Peterborough have been stuck on the consultation board for over 20 years. Absolutely insane. Because there is too much vested financial interests (corruption) tied up in the current automobile oriented social structure. That’s the real problem. The same applies to our healthcare system. Too much top heavy bureaucracy and corruption between the pharmaceutical industry and the medical bureaucracy which strangely is run provincially and not uniformly across the entire country creating disparities from province to province. Homelessness? Yes there are examples in other countries as to how to alleviate this problem. Why our four levels of government haven’t adopted these ideas remains a mystery to me. It seems to me the only way to get these governments to act is to be a proactive citizenry. I’m 73 and was a policeman for 32 years in Durham and Toronto so I’m sorry but I’ve done my bit for society . Sounds selfish I know but It’s time for younger folks than me to carry the torch towards a better society.

WHEN WILL PEOPLE REALIZE GOVERMENT IS NOT THE ANSWER EXCEPT TO ENSLAVE US

Top of my list is a Conservative Prime Minister

Change the liberal government

Canada would be close to being perfect if it has a true private health care system along with the public one here. 😊

All of what you say and stop sending money to Ottawa and become our own country of Quebec. Better control of immigration, better control over spending. Better stand up for French in North America

Lots of us prefer not to live like rats .We prefer the suburbs, Having our own green space , back yard front yard . You can transform it into a beautiful space Have your own private park . When I stepped into a downtown core of any major city, it just feels like a concrete jungle, cold and empty

Revenue from development fees and taxes got wasted by all levels of government . Look at Eglinton lrt boondoggle , lack of train hubs and trains in and out of GTA .proportionally low infrastructure investment from all the growth . The money was there but it got wasted. All that immigration and growth over last 30 years didn’t get reinvested. Corruption and greed

You are equating responsible use of recreational drugs and drug dependence or addiction. That's nonsense. Drugs themselves are not the problem. Abuse is. Just like any dependency. Like cars, for that matter. The correlation between your first two subjects is profound. But people addicted to driving, which is also destructive, won't see themselves that way. Cars are fine when used wisely. Drugs are fine when used wisely. Both are destructive when one is dependent on them.

Canadian have to change Trudeau out

Only one thing needed..1 less trudeau

I hope you will be in government one day

Go Woke Go Broke, easy

"...Make Canada Great Again???" Are you a MAGA supporter?

Yep the right-wing Saskatchewan Party scrapped our only public bus system. We are a province of many, many small towns and remote areas, whose people often depended on bus service for medical appointments, family visits, and other important occasions. Hoping this Fall’s Provincial election will give the Saskatchewan Party a well-deserved thrashing.

three things that would make Canada a better place:- (1) Anna leaves Canada to go elsewhere and permanently stays there; (2) Anastasia leaves Canada to go elsewhere and permanently stays there; (3) Anna and Anastasia stop making videos about Canada. 😛

First: Get ride of Truedumb

Get rid of the 7month long winters. Oh wait you cant...

change the goverment would be a good idea. Pierre 2025

Calling an early election

Cars are great... The gays and drugs are the only problem

1. Get rid of Trudeau 2. Become part of the USA 3. Give us the right to bear arms. What kind of country (Canada) punishes innocent citizens for self defence?

Easy: get rid of Trudeau.

It is all to impersonal to take and they are not clean .Not good ideas.We like being like out southern cousins .cars make you freee .

Speed train ? What about new metro lines in Toronto and Vancouver? They can't even solve local problems.
